Chapter 190 Let's cut out the tongue.

After finishing their meal, the master and servant returned to their room to continue making buns. As evening approached, Bai Zilin scaled the wall and climbed over. He nodded to the bewildered Furong. He had already heard from Prince Xuan that Furong was his former fiancée and now Liu Ye's maid. What a coincidence! It made him suspicious.

Liu Ye took Bai Zilin's hand and introduced him to Furong with a happy expression: "Furong, this is my fiancé, Brother Bai. He is currently working for Prince Xuan."

Furong bowed respectfully to Bai Zilin: "Greetings, Young Master Bai. I am Furong, Miss's maid..."

Bai Zilin nodded casually, and Furong quickly said, "This servant will take her leave now."

After closing the door, Furong went back to her room next door. Bai Zilin let out a long sigh and sat down on a chair. Liu Ye asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you breathing so heavily? Just tell me what's wrong."

Bai Zilin pulled Liu Ye over and sat her on his lap: "What could possibly happen? I'm just worried that you might be in danger if you go to the palace tomorrow. Why don't you skip it and have Prince Xuan tell you that you're sick?"

Liu Ye playfully pinched Bai Zilin's nose, hugged his waist, and lay on his chest: "No need, don't worry, I'll be fine. It's others who will be in trouble. Prince Xuan and the Empress are also waiting for this opportunity. Brother Bai, if Prince Xuan succeeds this time, he will be the next emperor. We will all have made great contributions. Given Prince Xuan's character, he shouldn't treat us unfairly."

Bai Zilin nodded, thinking to himself, "I hope so: There will be a bloodbath in the palace tomorrow. I will also secretly bring people into the palace. I may not be able to take care of you tomorrow. You must be careful. If things go wrong, run away as soon as possible. If you can't run away, hide and wait for me to come find you."

Liu Ye smiled and nodded: "Brother Bai, don't worry, I'm very clever. If there's danger, I'll run faster than anyone else. Hehehe, I'm quite the little rascal."

Bai Zilin pinched Liu Ye's chin, lifted her small face, and pressed the back of her head with his other hand. He couldn't wait to kiss her red lips. Liu Ye also shyly responded to Bai Zilin. After a passionate kiss, the two hugged each other to calm their emotions.

Liu Ye blushed and looked up at Bai Zilin, saying, "Fu Rong used to be Prince Xuan's fiancée, and she was also the one who assassinated Consort Su that night."

Bai Zilin's voice was hoarse when he spoke: "I heard from my Prince Xuan that she might be intentionally getting close to you, and then getting close to Prince Xuan through you."

Liu Ye sat up straight and wrapped her arms around Bai Zilin's neck: "Impossible. I've only been in the capital for a short time. How would anyone know that I know Prince Xuan? It's only been these past two days that people outside have found out. You don't need to doubt Furong. Furong wouldn't harm me or Prince Xuan. I can tell that she hasn't forgotten Prince Xuan, and Prince Xuan doesn't seem to have forgotten her either. These two are in love. Let's not get involved and let them develop however they want. No matter how things turn out for them in the future, it won't do us any harm."

Bai Zilin couldn't resist kissing Liu Ye's lips as he saw her little mouth smacking. "You're such a clever little devil, you're full of schemes, you even managed to hit me with your abacus beads. But you're right, we shouldn't get involved in their affairs. Once the matter of Prince Xuan is settled, let's get married. I can't wait any longer..."

Liu Ye nodded shyly: "Okay, whatever Brother Bai says, I'll listen to you..."

She shyly nestled her head in Bai Zilin's arms, feeling his pounding heartbeat. Bai Zilin happily pulled her into his embrace, his hands wandering inside her clothes, kneading and pinching her until the water in the vat was almost overflowing. Only then did he quickly pull his hands out, his face flushed, and climb over the wall back to the neighboring Prince Xuan's residence.

Liu Ye shyly took off her shoes and went to bed. She had a sweet dream all night. Before she knew it, the night had passed. Just after she finished eating, Prince Xuan came to pick her up. Fu Rong locked the gate, and she and Liu Ye got into Prince Xuan's carriage. They arrived at the palace gate in no time.

The palace gates were also lined with carriages; there were hundreds of them in the blink of an eye, and they were all there to attend Consort Su's birthday banquet.

Liu Ye smiled and waved to Fu Rong. Prince Xuan gave Fu Rong a deep look before entering the palace with Liu Ye. Fu Rong hurriedly ran forward a couple of steps, only to be stopped by the Imperial Guards at the gate: "How dare you! The palace is not a place you can force your way in. Get out of here at once!"

Furong retreated to the carriage with a worried look on her face, craning her neck to look into the palace. "Prince Xuan, please be sure nothing happens to you!"

Prince Xuan and Liu Ye hadn't gone far into the palace when they encountered the Su family: the Su family, including the Su family's parents, the Su family's wife, the Su family's eldest son, the Su family's second son, and the Su family's third daughter. In fact, the Su family didn't just consist of these people; the Su family had more than a dozen concubines in the Su family's harem, as well as more than a dozen illegitimate sons and daughters, but they were not qualified to enter the palace.

Prime Minister Su quickly took the lead in bowing, followed closely by his family members, and other officials and their families also bowed: "Your subject pays respects to Your Highness Prince Xuan."

King Xuan raised his hand expressionlessly and said, "Rise, all of you." After the others finished their greetings, they hurried away, but Prime Minister Su walked beside King Xuan, trying to make small talk with him.

Miss Su walked up to Liu Ye and said provocatively, "Since when can commoners freely enter and leave the palace? How strange!"

Liu Ye retorted coldly, "Miss Su has quite the nerve, daring to laugh at Prince Xuan's adopted sister as a commoner. Do you disregard Prince Xuan or the Emperor's son? Is the Su family about to rebel? Prince Xuan, your adopted brother, Miss Su is insulting you! The Su family is about to rebel!"

Liu Ye's words terrified Prime Minister Su, who immediately knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he begged for forgiveness: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The Su family has absolutely no intention of rebellion. It is my fault for failing to properly educate my daughter. When I return home, I will send her to the ancestral hall to reflect on her actions. I beg Your Majesty to calm your anger!"

The entire Su family knelt on the ground. Miss Su was also terrified, trembling all over as she knelt. She was furious! "The Su family has no ulterior motives. Please, Prince Xuan, calm your anger!"

Looking at the Su family members kneeling at his feet, Prince Xuan felt incredibly pleased. His sworn sister was truly formidable; with just a few words, she had broken the old man's guard. He feigned anger and snorted coldly, "Hmph! Prime Minister Su has indeed failed to raise his daughter with virtue, which is why Miss Su is so arrogant, showing no respect for the royal family, let alone for me! Prime Minister Su, do you even respect my father, the Emperor?"

Su Cheng trembled with fear and slammed his head on the ground with a loud thud: "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I would never dare to disrespect Your Majesty. Please, Prince Xuan, do not accuse me of this. I will punish my daughter severely when I return and give my sworn sister, Prince Xuan, an explanation!"

Prince Xuan looked at Liu Ye and asked with a smile, "Ye'er, how do you plan to punish Miss Su San?"

Miss Su raised her head, glaring fiercely at Liu Ye with a warning in her eyes: You little bitch, I'll see if you dare!

Liu Ye wasn't afraid of her, but today was a special day, and she didn't want to make a big fuss. She tilted her head and looked at the kneeling Miss Su with a smile, saying, "Miss Su is full of filth and doesn't speak human language. There's no use leaving her tongue in her mouth, so why not just cut it off!"
