Fatty broke out in a cold sweat, "He just wanted me to apply the medicine for a woman named Hua Chu. I don't know anything else about her."
"Really?"
The chivalrous hero's voice was calm, but the ice-cold object on his neck was slightly moved. The fatty was almost scared to death.
"It's true! My lord, please don't kill me. I have an old man and a little girl. My wife hasn't married yet, please don't kill me!"
Su Jinruo was silent for a moment, "Where is the medicine?"
"On the table …"
"Take it that I've never been here before. He just instructed you to do as he says."
"Yes, yes, yes …"
"Go to sleep."
"Alright …" "Hmm."
Su Jinruo struck the dagger back with his hand, causing the fatty's neck to feel pain and fall to the ground.
With a flick of her sleeve, the candle that had just been extinguished was reignited in the wind.
Su Jinruo walked in front of the table and slowly picked up the porcelain bottle. Under the reflection of the candlelight, her eyes shone with a deep and cold light.
Next morning
Prime Minister Su and Su Jinruo entered the palace to participate in the feast together. Just as they arrived at the entrance, Prime Minister Su sent a young eunuch to bring Su Jinruo in, but he turned around and left immediately.
In the capital city of early summer, the sun shone brightly. A cool breeze blew gently, shaking the green leaves of a tree.
"Why, even an outdated and unloved direct daughter like you wants to enter the palace to participate in the feast with us? Baili Miyun, are you a demon?"
Gao Yang's female voice carried a domineering tone as it broke the silence of the road.
Su Jinruo raised his eyebrows slightly. The person who spoke was a woman with bright eyes and white teeth. Looking at her appearance, she looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.
She was dressed in a long green skirt, the hem of which was adorned with fragments of crushed precious stones. Under the sunlight, it was dazzling.
There were a few women surrounding the woman. They wore gorgeous clothes and their clothing was expensive. It was very easy to see that their status was not low, and they were most likely the daughters of some ministers.
The young eunuch saw that Su Jinruo had stopped and could not help but ask, "Master, you …"
Su Jinruo raised his hand to stop her from speaking, his gaze was still on the lady, "It's not too late to go to the banquet later."
The young eunuch lowered his head and replied respectfully, "This humble servant obeys."
At the entrance of the palace, he followed the arrangements made by the Prime Minister Su, and led Su Jinruo on a small path to rush to the feast, on the way there, he listened to Su Jinruo's arrangements.
"Are you going to scram or not?" The girl was wearing high-soled shoes, and when she saw that the girl on the ground didn't answer, she fiercely kicked her in the back.
The lady used a lot of strength, causing her shoes to kick on her back, which was filled with bones, it was extremely painful. Baili Miyun groaned in pain, but was still unwilling to make a sound.
She glared fiercely at the girl who kicked her, slowly but miserably climbing up from the ground.
The only plum blossom hairpin on its head was crooked, swaying with its owner's movements.
"Hey, look! Her small eyes that can't even see the road are staring at me."
The lady dressed in the long green skirt looked at Baili Miyun and gave him a resounding slap with her hand.
"To make you look at me like that, Baili Miyun, you must be tired of living!"
He was already unable to stand steadily and was heavily slapped in the face, causing Baili Miyun to stumble and fall to the ground.
"Alright, Lan Xin. As the direct daughter of a Grand Commandant, why do you still care so much about the people of my General's Estate?"
A woman, dressed in a bright blue dress, with her hair tied up in a bun and a fringed golden hairpin.
Big Sister Fu Shu, I am here to fight for your injustice, this Baili Miyun has a lowly status, but he has the honor of entering the palace together with you, Big Sister.
Lin Lan Xin held onto Baili Yu's arm, and looked at the extremely miserable Baili Miyun. She struggled to get up again.
She gently pursed her lips and moved her feet. In the blink of an eye, her high-soled shoes landed on the Hundred Miles Fantasy …
The back of Yun Che's hand was being pushed forward heavily.
Baili Miyun was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely. She stared at Lin Lan Xin, her clear eyes filled with overflowing hatred.
"Young lady looks peerless, why did you have to be so ruthless towards a weak girl?"
As the clear and cold voice left his mouth, Su Jinruo walked into the crowd's line of sight.
Hearing this, Lin Lan Xin quickly withdrew her foot. As she looked at the person who spoke, she instantly became gentle and pleasant.
She bent down and bowed towards Su Jinruo, "Little girl Lan Xin greets Master Su."
Upon seeing her bow, everyone started to imitate her, "Paying respects to Master Su."
Su Jinruo's eyes flashed, "All of you, stand up."
Lin Lan Xin stood up, and looked at Su Jinruo's elegant face, her face flushed red, as though she was a completely different person from before.
"This little girl has admired Master Su for a long time. Master Su has resorted to taking down Lan Jie Shan, he will not lose any of his troops, and he will easily take down those criminals who have committed many evil deeds. "A hero among men, a hero among men!"
Su Jinruo replied Lin Lan Xin with a smile as she looked at the miserable Baili Miyun on the ground and continued with her previous question.
"This official already knows the feelings of reverence and respect from the young lady. Please inform me of the crime that the young lady on the ground has committed. Are you going to treat her like this?"
Lin Lan Xin's face paled. She initially wanted to change the topic and forget about losing a good impression in front of Su Jinruo, but she didn't expect that Su Jinruo would want to continue the investigation.
Ever since Su Jinruo got the title, she had been paying attention to him.
Initially he was interested because a year ago, when he was impregnated with the words' Long live the Emperor ', Su Jinruo relied on his words and entered the inaccessible field of government, as if he was joking. His attitude towards Lin Qing Qing Qing who was neither admitting nor denying anything was one that caused him to be exiled by the justice courts, and even though he suffered from severe injuries, he miraculously returned the favor.
Now, Su Jinruo was even more extraordinary, causing her to fall for him.
"I... "Little girl …" Lin Lan Xin raised her eyes, and met Su Jinruo's gaze.
Her heart was as though a deer that had been struck by a deer. She lowered her head and her pretty face flushed red. She was unable to say anything else.
Seeing this, Baili Yu laughed and explained for her, "My lord, do you not know that this woman is very vile and has a low character? She often likes to steal things from people in the General's Estate, and after being discovered, she became angry from embarrassment and forced that person to eat all the fish food. She swore that she would never tell anyone about her evil deeds. Today, she and I will go to the banquet together. On the way, she has acted in a very rude and boisterous manner. Little Sister Lan Xin is only helping me fight against my injustice. "
When Baili Miyun heard this, she let out a cold laugh. She lowered her head, and congealed the back of her blood-stained hand, not refuting it.
Lin Lan Xin fiercely nodded, "That's the truth. She was the one in the wrong. It was for her own good that this little girl took the initiative to teach her a lesson. If Maze Yun caused trouble at the palace banquet, then wouldn't it be the General who was in trouble?"
A thief calling for a thief was nothing more than this.
"So that's how it is …" Su Jinruo sneered in his heart, but still nodded his head.
She glanced at Baili Miyun, then said to Baili Yu and the rest, "It's getting late, if the palace banquet starts now, I'm afraid the punishment will not be able to escape. Ladies, please go ahead, as for this young lady, let her slowly walk back."
Lin Lan Xin looked at Su Jinruo: "Master, what about you?"
"I am an official appointed by the imperial government. Naturally, I have someone accompanying me." Su Jinruo said blandly. The young eunuch, who was originally looking straight at the ground, immediately raised his head and said softly to Su Jinruo: "Master, please walk this way."
Su Jinruo made a gesture of farewell towards them, then followed the little eunuch out.
After Su Jinruo had walked far away, Lin Lan Xin kicked Baili Miyun once more, snorted, and said: "Consider yourself lucky."
Baili Miyun's face was shockingly white, she bit her lips hard, and did not cry out in pain.
Baili Yu squatted down, helped Baili Miyun reattach the Plum Blossom hairpin, and said to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"Big sister, you have to hold on. This was only done by someone else. Little sister, I …" Hundred Miles of Shifting Water's smile was gentle, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. "He hasn't made his move yet …"
Baili Miyun stared at the beautiful woman in front of him, gritting his teeth until they creaked, "There will be a day when you die, in my hands!"
Hundred Mile Away wrapped its jade-like fingers around a strand of Baili Miyun's hair, gently toying with it.
With a sudden tug, she sneered silently, "I'm waiting for that day to come."
Baili Miyun almost fainted from the pain, but he endured the dizziness as he watched them leave.
After they left, she could no longer hold on and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
There were wounds all over his body, not a single part of him was intact.
Baili Miyun looked into the sky and laughed maniacally, as if he was crazy.
Tears rolled down from her large eyes like a flood, unstoppable and unbearable.
A moment later, she was lying on her side with her purplish-red hands on the ground, trying to get up with great difficulty.
But at this time, a clean and slender hand appeared in front of him. The tears on Baili Miyun's face had yet to disappear, and just like that, they entered that person's eyes.
That person asked indifferently, "Do you want to take back what belongs to you?"
Baili Miyun squinted his eyes, guarding against the person in front of him, "Why is it you …?"
Su Jinruo's posture did not change, and did not receive her question. Her smile, Jinruo, warmed the rising sun instead.
"I can help you take back everything that belongs to you, but I have conditions."
After settling the matters with Baili Miyun, Su Jinruo went to the Inner Palace alone.
She took a glance at the Prime Minister Su in the distance, who were happily chatting with the others, then swept her eyes over the people in the inner hall, finding a secluded place to sit.
However, as she was one of the most important figures in this banquet, even if she was sitting in a remote place, there would still be people who would notice her.
There were women who wanted to climb the dragon and take advantage of the phoenix. From time to time, they would sneakily look up at him, their faces full of shyness.
Su Jinruo was the legitimate son of the Prime Minister, so he had a high status.
Even if others knew that he was worse than pigs and dogs in the past, looking at him shine with such brilliance now, who would think that with all the things that he had done in the past …
When they thought about Su Jinruo's boundless future, some of the lower ranking officials who belonged to the Prime Minister's faction all came over to pay their respects, only to see Su Jinruo's cold and indifferent response, they immediately felt bored and bitterly left.
