Favored Black-Hearted Prince

She, the sole daughter of the Zhenbei Great General, Yu Qianqian, was unrestrained and magnificent, renowned throughout the city. One night, a decree annihilated the entire General's Mansion. S...

Chapter Seventy-Two: Such Dedication

Since Feng Jin left the Jingwang Mansion, Su Ruan has stayed at Feiyu Courtyard to take good care of Mu Beichen.

As soon as she entered, she saw Mu Beichen sitting on the ground with his legs together, holding a wine jug and constantly drinking wine. She rushed forward, trying to snatch the wine jug from his hand, but was unexpectedly thrown away by Mu Beichen with a sudden force.

Mu Beichen squinted, and through his blurry vision, he vaguely saw a figure being flung away, staggering as it scrambled to its feet, crying out, "Ah Jin, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to push you..."

"Look carefully, I am not Feng Jin!"

Su Ruan almost shouted these words in a fit of rage. She had lost count of how many times Mu Beichen had mistaken her for Feng Jin. She couldn't figure out whether he was truly drunk or pretending to be confused.

No matter how much effort she put into pleasing him, he always kept Feng Jin in his heart, treating her as if she didn't exist.

Therefore, she had long ago made up her mind that if she wanted to earn a place for herself, the first thing she had to do was to completely eliminate Feng Jin, this stumbling block. Only in this way could Mu Beichen give up.

In a fit of rage, she forcefully shoved away the drunken man who was staring at her and muttering to himself, then turned and strode out of the room.

As soon as she stepped into Ningxiang Pavilion, she found someone waiting in the room. She listened intently and said, "Princess, I have been secretly following Hua Mancheng and have found where the Princess is currently staying."

Su Ruan immediately exclaimed in surprise, "Where is she now?"

"North of Beicheng, three hundred miles away, lies Youlan Valley."

North City? What is she doing there? She was slightly taken aback, her thoughts instantly soaring to the heavens.

Based on the current situation, Feng Jin absolutely cannot die, especially not by my hand. Otherwise, there's a chance the truth will come out one day, and then Mu Beichen will definitely be my sworn enemy. It seems I'll need to put some effort into dealing with her elsewhere…

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, curled her lips into a sinister smile, and said, "Cuiping, go and inform my brother to come here. Tell him... something happened to Fengjin."

Cuiping responded with "Yes" and immediately withdrew as instructed.

Not long after, Su Yu received the news and rushed over without delay. As soon as he entered the door, he said breathlessly to Su Yu, "I heard..."

"Brother, why are you so late?" Before he could finish speaking, Su Ruan interrupted him impatiently: "Do you know? Something terrible has happened to Sister Feng Jin!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yu immediately exclaimed in alarm, "What's wrong with her?"

Carefully observing his suddenly changed expression, Su Ruan also pretended to be anxious and replied, "A few days ago, I don't know what she had a conflict with the prince about, and she was kicked out by the prince. Now, she is pregnant, and I am really afraid that something might happen to her. After all, that involves two lives."

Before she could finish speaking, Su Yu flashed out of the Ningxiang Pavilion and ran away.

She glanced at Su Yu's fleeing figure with a smile in her eyes, then turned to Cui Ping and whispered in her ear, "Go and tell the Prince now that the Princess Consort is suddenly feeling unwell... and wants to see him."

"But... if His Highness the Crown Prince finds out that the Princess is plotting against him, he might be angry with you."

Upon hearing Cuiping's words, Su Ruan immediately smiled and said, "It's alright. My brother has always doted on me the most. Even if he finds out the truth in the future, he will understand my good intentions."
