Now Chu Heng gave up hope and never wrote again.

Su Jin also put Chu Heng out of her mind because she was very busy every day.

On one hand, they had to develop the influence of the Liuli Society and the Guying Society; on the other hand, they had to keep an eye on Shen Qianxue and the Prince's Mansion's actions; and on the other hand, they had to check on Nie Qingyi's actions from time to time.

Developing influence is a massive undertaking, and Su Jinxia is so busy with it that she forgets to eat and sleep every day.

Shen Qianxue has been making frequent moves recently, perhaps indicating that she is about to launch an uprising.

Nie Qingyi, under Chu Heng's pursuit, gradually moved closer to the Prince's Mansion.

Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly...

That morning, Su Jinxia had just gotten up and was practicing her sword in the courtyard.

Su Hu hurried in, bringing with him the cold wind and biting chill.

"What's wrong?" Su Jin stopped what she was doing and saw that Su Hu's expression was serious and he was very anxious.

Su Hu took two deep breaths and said angrily, "It's Chu Heng! This guy saw that there was no hope for cooperation, so he actually started to have ulterior motives!"

"Oh?" Su Jinxia was not in a hurry and responded indifferently.

Su Hu then explained the situation: "Two days ago, Chu Heng sent people to spread the news that the Liuli Society and the Southern Kingdom had cooperated to attack the Northern Kingdom. In just two days, the news has spread far and wide, causing a sensation in both the North and the South."

Su Jinxia's expression darkened slightly, a sinister light flashing in her eyes. "Chu Heng wants to use us to incite panic in the Northern Kingdom. He doesn't want us to be in a good place either!"

Su Hu continued, "That's right. Especially the people of the Northern Kingdom, upon hearing this news, are filled with anxiety. Some have even begun to flee to avoid the war, and..." Su Hu's angry eyes were practically spitting fire.

"And what?"

Su Hu clenched his fists and said angrily, "Moreover, the people of the Northern Kingdom are all cursing us, saying that the Liuli Society is the culprit who is trying to provoke a conflict between the two countries. This is very disadvantageous to us and may even affect our previous overall plan."

With a cold expression, Su Jinxia sheathed her sword, a murderous glint in her eyes. She spoke softly, her voice chilling to the bone.

"I originally intended to spare Chu Heng's life, but he insisted on courting death!"

Where is Chu Heng?

Su Hu immediately replied, "He probably feared our retaliation, so he rushed back to the capital a couple of days ago."

The black sword in Su Jin's hand gleamed coldly, and it seemed to sense its master's murderous intent, ringing out with a hint of excitement.

"Trying to escape? Where can he possibly run to!"

"Gather a team and follow me to pursue them!"

"The Ruri Society has been living peacefully for too long, and people have come to think that anyone can come and trample on us. It's time to make everyone remember us!"

Su Hu's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a hint of excitement. "Yes!"

At this moment, in Linnan, at the Phoenix Pavilion.

"The prince sent someone to invite you."

Shen Xi sent a message to Shen Qianxue.

In the past, Shen Qianxue would visit Zhou Ji whenever she had nothing to do, but recently it seems that Zhou Ji always sends people to invite Shen Qianxue.

Shen Qianxue remained unmoved and had no intention of going.

He knew that the prince had heard the news of the cooperation between the Liuli Society and the Southern Kingdom, and was afraid again.

However, Su Jinxia has already said that this will not come true.

Shen Qianxue believes her!

Moreover, this news sounds suspicious.

If the Southern Kingdom had truly cooperated with the Liuli Society, they would have kept it a closely guarded secret; how could they allow such top-secret information to be widely publicized?

A few days ago, the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom went to Liuli Mountain to seek cooperation, but he fell into a coma twice when he came down from the mountain. It seems that he suffered a loss at the hands of Su Jin.

Therefore, the Crown Prince of the Southern Kingdom may be furious and spread false information to confuse the public and cause panic in the Northern Kingdom.

Or it could incite a conflict between the Northern Kingdom and the Liuli Society, allowing the Southern Kingdom to reap the benefits!

If Your Highness were to launch an operation against the Liuli Society, you would be falling into the trap set by the Southern Kingdom.

Therefore, Shen Qianxue didn't need to worry at all; his only concern was Su Jinxia.

Su Jinxia will never tolerate the Southern Kingdom's wanton framing of the Liuli Society. What will she do?

Is there any danger?

"Young Master? Are we going to the Prince's Mansion?" Shen Xi asked, noticing Shen Qianxue's dazed expression.

Shen Qianxue snapped out of her reverie, her expression indifferent. "I won't go. Just convey my analysis to the Prince and put his mind at ease."

Shen Xi then wrote down Shen Qianxue's analysis one by one, and then went to the Prince's Mansion alone.

He sensed that Shen Qianxue's attitude towards Zhou Ji had changed, but he didn't voice any doubts.

Shen Qianxue has her own plans; he only needs to focus on doing his job well and not disappoint her again.

Shen Qianxue frowned slightly. He felt uncomfortable thinking that Zhou Ji might be upset because of his attitude.

Zhou Ji is Shen Qianxue's respected elder brother and the future lord to whom she is willing to devote her life. Shen Qianxue does not want to have any estrangement from Zhou Ji.

However, recently, for some reason, he always felt that his ideas were out of sync with Zhou Ji's, and even felt uncomfortable when he was with Zhou Ji.

Even though Zhou Ji hadn't done anything, Shen Qianxue still felt something was different.

Shen Qianxue couldn't help but wonder if she had been influenced by Su Jinxia, ​​since Su Jinxia had repeatedly said that she did not approve of Zhou Ji.

Meanwhile, Su Jin led her people all the way to the capital, but instead of going to the Crown Prince's residence to find Chu Heng, she went to the Third Prince's residence.

As night deepened, the Third Prince Chu Yu hurriedly entered the courtyard with two personal guards.

One of the guards, his face full of anger and grievance, said, "The Crown Prince has acted so ridiculously, disgracing the Southern Kingdom at Liuli Mountain, and His Majesty hasn't said a word about it. The military pledge the Crown Prince made before is completely worthless!"

Another guard also spoke up for the Third Prince, "His Majesty is too muddle-headed. He doesn't listen to a word of the Prince's plan, and he even praises the Crown Prince for his fabricated lies. Doesn't he fear that the people from the Glass Society will come after him?"

"They've already come looking for us." The Third Prince said in a deep voice, his sharp gaze fixed on the spot where Su Jin was standing.

"hehe…"

Su Jin sat down on the wall and chuckled softly.

The two guards were startled. They were also highly skilled, yet they had no idea that someone was spying on them in the courtyard.

The two drew their swords, becoming alert.

Chu Yu, however, remained calm. He gestured for the guard to put away his sword and politely said, "I am honored by your presence, Lord Liuli. Please come in and have some tea."

Su Jin tilted her head. "How did you know I'm the Lord of the Glazed Glass?"

Su Jinxia's identity hasn't been revealed much yet; this Third Prince is quite well-informed.

Chu Yu chuckled softly, “I’ve heard that the Lady of the Glazed Glass is sixteen years old, exceptionally beautiful, and elusive. She must be a young lady!”

Su Jin raised an eyebrow. Interesting.

She smiled and lightly jumped off the wall. "Then let's see if the Third Prince's tea is good."

The two guards looked around warily and found no one following them.

He actually broke into the palace all by himself!

Su Jin went into the room and sat down on her own.

Under the bright lights, Su Jin could finally see Yu's face clearly.

He was very handsome, but there was a deep gloom between his brows, the resentment of years of being overlooked and his talents being forced to remain unexpressed.

The emperor of the Southern Kingdom was notoriously biased.

The emperor had three sons in total. The crown prince was the eldest son, born to a favorite concubine. He once accidentally pushed the second prince, born to the empress, into the water and drowned him while playing.
