What if I don't?

"Princess, please don't put your subordinate in a difficult position!"

Yan Qing spoke calmly, but her eyes held a hidden murderous intent. Her true identity was Chu Mo, the princess of the Chu Kingdom.

The emperor of Chu was cruel by nature and had little affection for Chu Mo, who was actually a woman. He only wanted to use her as a tool to plunder the Qi Kingdom.

However, as Chu Mo grew older, the emperor found her increasingly difficult to control. She was unruly and disobedient, and she was also in love with another woman.

After learning the truth, the emperor sent someone to put the woman under the influence of the Ice Gu poison, and used medicine that could only relieve her pain every month to control Chu Mo and make him obedient.

To protect his beloved, Chu Mo had no choice but to compromise.

Until one day, the emperor summoned her and told her that he would offer her to Xiao Xuan and asked her to take the opportunity to poison Xiao Xuan's food.

Chu Mo knew perfectly well that his own father had sold him out of power.

Not to mention that she and Xiao Xuan had never met before, just based on the fact that she disliked men, there was absolutely no way she would submit to Xiao Xuan.

She has a beloved woman and the life she wants to live; why should others take that away from her?

Although Chu Mo outwardly agreed to the King of Chu's request and insisted on keeping Qing'er by his side, the King of Chu, seeing that she was relatively obedient, agreed to her request.

On the way to Daqi, Chu Mo fought his way through hundreds of imperial guards, and took Qing'er to visit famous doctors. Before they knew it, the two arrived in the capital.

Having heard that there were many extraordinary people in Kyoto, she thought she would try her luck here, and unexpectedly she actually met a miracle doctor.

Now that her Qing'er can receive proper treatment, why should she compromise and obey the emperor's orders?

With her strength and speed, getting rid of this rabble would be effortless for her.

If Chu Mo wanted to leave, there was no reason why he couldn't; he just didn't want to cause any more deaths.

But if it's this group of reckless and stubborn fools, then I don't need to worry too much.

Thinking it over, Chu Mo glanced coldly at the commander of the Imperial Guards in front of him, and suddenly let out a sneer.

"Commander Zhou, I'm going to make things difficult for you today. What can you do about it?"

Chu Mo's eyes sharpened instantly, his gaze like a piercing sword, making the person before him feel a chill.

She flung the teacup in her hand several meters away, where it shattered into pieces.

Seeing that Chu Mo was determined to fight to the end, Commander Zhou sighed helplessly.

"Princess, please forgive me for offending you!"

He raised his hand and waved it, and immediately a dark mass of people surrounded him, each holding a long knife, looking fierce and terrifying.

Chu Mo sneered. This King Chu was going to great lengths to give her to Xiao Xuan, even sending his fiercest assassins.

However, so what? With her martial arts skills, she has a chance to fight her way out; at most, she'll just get injured.

Chu Mo stopped wasting words with him and swiftly drew his sword from his waist. The blade gleamed coldly, carrying a murderous aura.

Soon, the sound of ice blades clashing and colliding echoed throughout the courtyard. Chu Mo's martial prowess was indeed extraordinary; even the reckless assassins were at a disadvantage.

After several rounds of fighting, many of the assassins were injured and fell to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, Commander Zhou narrowed his eyes and gave the others a wink.

Those people understood immediately and instantly diverted Chu Mo's attention. Chu Mo was so focused on fighting those people that he forgot that Commander Zhou behind him suddenly took out a silver needle from his sleeve and flew forward with lightning speed, stabbing it into Chu Mo's neck.

He had prepared those silver needles beforehand, soaked in a sleeping potion. If he really couldn't defeat Chu Mo, he would use this trick.

The moment Chu Mo was stabbed, he felt a wave of numbness and tingling wash over his entire body, and his limbs began to feel weak and stiff.

"Zhou Cheng, you dare to betray me!"

Chu Mo gritted her teeth, her face filled with hatred for Zhou Cheng. She pulled the silver needle from under her neck, crushed it to pieces with her bare hands, and her eyes were bloodshot.

This is the strongest sleeping potion in the world. Even a ferocious beast weighing several hundred kilograms might not be able to withstand it, let alone a woman.

If Chu Mo hadn't practiced martial arts for many years, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long. However, she ultimately couldn't withstand the effects of the medicine.

With her last bit of strength, she staggered a few steps and collapsed into Zhou Cheng's arms.

...

After Chu Mo was taken away, Shen Jia returned to the Wuding Marquis's residence. However, as soon as she stepped into the Siyun Pavilion, she saw Green Bamboo lying on a rocking chair, holding a round fan and looking very comfortable.

The maid beside him was feeding Green Bamboo grapes, which Green Bamboo ate one after another like a lord, spitting out the grape seeds from time to time.

That maid was quite shrewd; she knew that Green Bamboo was currently in favor, so she kept saying the nicest things to her.

“Aunt Lü, it doesn’t matter whether the Marquis’s mansion has a mistress or not. You are the young master’s darling. Look at this Silk Pavilion. You said you wanted to move in, and the young master let you move in without saying a word.”

The maid flattered him, which pleased Green Bamboo greatly, and a half-smile appeared on her lips.

"You all serve me well, and there will be plenty of good days ahead. As for that mistress who is all show and no substance, just consider her dead."

"You don't know that the young master took her to Lanqu Academy to study last time, do you?"

Green Bamboo couldn't help but cover her face and burst into laughter as she said this, "The young master disliked her for being clumsy and not knowing how to serve people, so he took her to Lanqu Garden to learn from the girls there how to serve men."

As soon as Green Bamboo said this, the maids behind her burst into laughter.

"And guess what? Shen Jia actually went to learn it obediently. Hahaha, a first-rank matriarch has fallen to such a state. It's hilarious."
