Chapter 71 Throw a poisonous snake and bite her to death

In front of the academy, Su Lu looked at Zhao Mingzhu who was being helped down by Gu Qingheng, and she clutched her handkerchief.

Zhao Mingzhu ran away without even saying hello.

When passing by her, Zhao Mingzhu actually glared at her. Su Lu became even more annoyed. She clearly didn't provoke her, but she didn't let her go.

Su Lu wanted to go forward, but remembering Gu Qingheng's previous ruthlessness, she hesitated. When she looked up again, the carriage from the East Palace had already left.

She could only turn around and go into the classroom. She could hear An Yun chattering from a distance. No wonder Bai Mu didn't like her.

She sat down, took a deep breath, took out her homework and opened it to check, and the first thing she saw was a dead mouse!

"Ah! A mouse! Ahhhh!" Su Lu was like a flea. He threw it casually, facing Xiang Anyun. He kept backing away, pointing at his homework in horror.

An Yun turned around and with a flying kick, the dead mouse returned to its original path and hit Su Lu in the face.

The moment the mouse hair touched her face, Su Lu's scream was enough to blow the roof off the room, and everyone present retreated to a safe area and covered their ears.

An Yun whispered, "Find me a needle, I'll sew her upper and lower lips together."

Gu Yu looked at the huge rat, which was as long as his forearm. Where did these people come from?

Zhao Mingzhu covered her ears and saw the people around her put down their hands, so she put down her hands too.

Su Lu turned pale and pointed at her in shock.

"Miss Zhao, why are you teasing me again? Even if you are the Crown Princess, you can't humiliate me so many times!"

After the last piano score incident, no one would believe Zhao Mingzhu even if she refuted her.

An Yun turned her head: Sister, is it really you?

Zhao Mingzhu shrugged innocently.

An Yun turned around and sneered, "Why do you blame Mingzhu for everything? Do you like her and deliberately want to attract her attention?"

Gu Yu walked to Zhao Mingzhu's side and said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"What are you doing? What's the point of releasing a mouse? Just throw a poisonous snake at her and kill her."

Can you please have a higher IQ? You just use these stupid moves in fighting.

Zhao Mingzhu gave a thumbs-up after hearing this: "You are the real King of Hell."

Su Lu instinctively felt that it must be Zhao Mingzhu! Even if it wasn't her, it must be related to her.

Su Lu cried so hard that her eyes were filled with tears, and she choked up and said:

"Let's go ask the teacher and have them investigate and find out. If it wasn't Miss Zhao, I'll personally come and apologize."

Zhao Mingzhu sighed softly. It was a nice thought, but she just needed it.

So she stopped An Yun and continued to protect her.

"In that case, take it."

Su Lu wiped her tears, looking even more helpless and pitiful. She followed Zhao Mingzhu.

After leaving the classroom, Su Lu stared at her back and pulled a smile. Even if it wasn't her, she was just apologizing.

If she could enter the Eastern Palace, she would be closer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...

As she was thinking, Zhao Mingzhu in front of her stopped.

"We don't have to go."

Su Lu sneered after hearing this, and said softly, "Why don't you go? Is Miss Zhao scared? Could it really be you?"

Zhao Mingzhu turned around and nodded: "Yes, it's me."

Seeing her admit it, Su Lu thought that she was afraid of going to the teacher and being exposed, so she wanted to settle the matter privately.

"Your Highness, you acted without considering the harm you caused to others. We must go see the Master and publicly clarify who is right and who is wrong."

There was a hint of ridicule in her eyes when she spoke of the Crown Princess.

Zhao Mingzhu looked at her, smiled slightly, took out a brocade bag and handed it to her.

"No rush, first take a look at this thank you gift from me, Miss Su, and then make your decision."

Su Lu took it. She didn't want any thank-you gift.

The brocade bag was light and thin. She poured out the contents and her eyelids trembled heavily after seeing the contents clearly.

It's a rusty nail.

She recognized it in an instant; it was the one she had given to the young eunuch!

Su Lu grabbed the nail in panic, her hands trembling. "What do you mean, Miss Zhao? Why are you giving me this?"

She knows?!

No, how could she know? She clearly didn't leave any evidence and all the eunuchs were dead.

Zhao Mingzhu followed suit: "Miss Su is scared? Is it really you?"

"It's not me!" Su Lu of course refused to admit it.

Zhao Mingzhu tilted her head and asked curiously, "I haven't said anything yet, how do you know what I'm talking about?"

Su Lu bit her lip unconsciously and was speechless for a moment.

She then said, "Miss Zhao was murdered at the horse farm. Everyone knows about this."

Zhao Mingzhu chuckled, "But His Highness hasn't said anything publicly. How did Miss Su connect the dots between a nail and my horse ranch murder? She actually has such incredible foresight."

Su Lu's mind went blank, and she recalled that it seemed that no one had mentioned whether Ma Chang's murder was an accident...

Su Lu stepped back in shock. She was speechless. Zhao Mingzhu approached her:

"You said I should go back and have His Highness investigate Miss Su's itinerary that day... Oh, no need. The Eastern Palace's secret guards are so powerful. I just need to tell them your name, and they'll be able to find out everything."

"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. What do you think, Su Lu?"

Su Lu slammed into the pillar. She didn't expect that she would lose to Zhao Mingzhu. If Zhao Mingzhu really told others, then she... Su Lu shuddered.

But Su Lu wasn't completely clueless after all. She pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you want?"

Zhao Mingzhu brought her here without making a big fanfare to let everyone know. She must want to get something from her.

After thinking about it, she realized that the arguments Zhao Mingzhu had with her before were all because the Crown Prince's eyes fell on her.

"Your Highness, I will... from now on stay away from Your Highness..."

Zhao Mingzhu shook her head and twitched her index finger: "You are wrong. I don't need you to stay away from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Su Lu didn't understand, what did she want?

"I want you to try your best to draw the Crown Prince's attention to you and make him fall in love with you." This way, she could increase her chances of escaping successfully.

If Gu Qingheng continues to be passionate about her, it will be much more difficult for her to escape.

What's more, in Zhao Mingzhu's dream last night, Su Lu finally became a concubine.

That means the hero and the heroine's happy ending is an unchangeable fact.

"What did you say?"

Su Lu forgot her fear and stared at Zhao Mingzhu blankly. Was she crazy?

"Why, you don't want to marry into the East Palace?"

Zhao Mingzhu hugged her chest and found it funny. Why did Su Lu want to die? It was because of Gu Qingheng.

Now, she is hesitant to fulfill her wish.

"But... why are you suddenly willing to accept me?" Otherwise, she would have brought it up when the concubine was mentioned before.

Su Lu still couldn't believe why Zhao Mingzhu suddenly became so kind.

"It's up to you whether you want to do it or not, but if you don't accept it, once I leave this academy, the people from the East Palace will come after the Su family."

Su Lu cowered in fear. Plotting to murder the royal family was a crime of great disrespect. It was likely that no one in the Su family would survive.

Zhao Mingzhu stopped talking and turned to leave. Su Lu grabbed her sleeve and said, "Okay, I promise!"

Zhao Mingzhu turned around and saw her eyes full of vigilance:

"Then come to the East Palace every day when you have time. Don't say I didn't create opportunities for you."

Zhao Mingzhu sighed, "Actually, I'm doing this for myself. He's going to take a concubine anyway, so he might as well pick you, a woman I have leverage over him."

She pushed Su Lu's hand away and stuffed a pill into her mouth. Su Lu wanted to vomit, but the pill melted in her mouth.

Zhao Mingzhu grinned, "This is the poison I paid a fortune to have a witch doctor make. It's colorless and odorless, so no one can tell what it is. If you dare to play tricks, I'll only need one day to give you the antidote, and you'll bleed to death from all seven orifices."
