Looking at her slightly childish face, Su Weichuan couldn't help but smile.
"Does the Ninth Prince's Consort think that with His Highness the Ninth Prince backing her up and with the title of Ninth Prince's Consort, she can act recklessly and lawlessly in my Prince's Mansion?"
Qing Sui was already on high alert.
There are at least six experts in the courtyard of the Buddha Heart Hall, all of whom are skilled in martial arts. Her chances of breaking through the encirclement and safely taking Jiang Qingwan away are very slim.
Moreover, there are also the guards outside.
This is Su Weichuan's mansion!
She had begun to regret going along with Jiang Qingwan's whims.
Jiang Qingwan, however, was not nervous at all.
The little hand gently tapped the table, asking a question instead of answering.
"And what about you, Prince Su? You received the Emperor's favor and were granted the title of a prince of a different surname. Although you withdrew from the court, you assisted your son-in-law and grandson to become important military and political figures in just a few years, holding military power. The Emperor even forgave Qin Minglang's evil deeds because of the Su family's reputation. With such favor, why did you still send someone to assassinate the Empress Dowager?"
The old servant roared angrily.
"Your Highness, please be careful with your words."
Jiang Qingwan looked at him, her gaze falling on the ancient jade at his waist.
"And who are you? What's the rush?"
The old servant choked, his face turning red.
Su Weichuan snorted coldly.
“Princess Consort, although I have left the court, I will still take your slander to the Emperor, even if His Highness the Ninth Prince stands behind you.”
Jiang Qingwan nodded.
"Go ahead and sue. I'll go with you. We'll also bring the young marquis and the Xia family father and son. Oh, right, the abbot of Huguo Temple. I heard that he's an old acquaintance of the prince. And Qin Minglang. It was Black Crow who conspired with him to send him to Huguo Temple to rescue people. But it seems the prince knows about Black Crow too."
Su Weichuan's face was extremely ugly.
He had served in the court for many years, and was shrewd and calculating, speaking with a hint of naiveté.
Those who are good at reading people will naturally figure out the advantages and disadvantages involved.
But when faced with Jiang Qingwan, who had thrown out all the bait and was calmly waiting for him to make his move, he was caught off guard.
Jiang Qingwan seemed to suddenly remember something, and pointed with her small hand.
"You know Master Bai Shuo, right? He was personally chosen by the Empress Dowager to go to the imperial mausoleum, but instead he committed theft. And what he stole was the very treasure box that Black Crow and the remnants of the Sui Dynasty with their golden hooks and scimitars wanted. Your Highness, isn't it a coincidence that this matter is intertwined with the attack on the Empress Dowager at Huguo Temple? That makes it even more interesting."
"After this incident, I am a sorceress who sucks the blood of living people and turns them into dried corpses. Everyone has the right to kill me. And His Highness the Ninth Prince was punished with thirty lashes. It's true that... all crows under the sky are black. Their desire to eat people cannot be concealed."
The cold, sharp voice was firm and resounding.
After it landed, the hall was deathly silent.
Qinghui stood there stunned, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.
She had once been impressed and convinced by Jiang Qingwan's mystical methods and ingenious mechanisms, but now, she felt an even stronger urge to follow her to the death.
Who would dare to imagine that?
A petite woman, powerless and criticized as a divorced woman and a lowly merchant, dared to stand alone, keeping it a secret from the Ninth Prince, to fight for the truth and justice for him.
Her hand reached for the short knife at her waist.
I had a feeling that a fierce battle was coming.
Even if it means death, she will take Jiang Qingwan with her when she leaves.
However, Su Weichuan, who sat in the main seat with gloomy eyes, did not beckon or call anyone.
After a standoff, he slowly spoke.
"Do you know what kind of chaos this will cause if we bring this matter to the imperial court? The emperor is wary of the Ninth Prince's overwhelming power and has long wanted to kill him. With your actions, wouldn't you have a perfect excuse?"
Jiang Qingwan chuckled very softly.
Extremely ironic.
"Since you've wanted to kill me for so long, why haven't you? Also, Prince Su, do you dare to come with me to Zhaoyang Palace?"
Su Weichuan's hand slowly clenched.
He hadn't felt such a strong urge to kill someone in a very, very long time.
It seems like all the cards have been played, yet the missing talisman is still clearly there.
It's impossible to guess what other explosive and uncontrollable trump cards they might have up their sleeves.
It's like a black hole.
She wouldn't dare do this if she didn't have a trump card.
If it exists, what is it?
Su Weichuan realized that he really didn't dare!
This made him extremely frustrated.
His eyes suddenly turned sinister.
"I can let you die here."
Whoosh!
Qing Sui drew a short sword from her waist.
Jiang Qingwan slowly stood up.
"Prince Su, I have no grudge against you, nor do I care what status your Su family wants to achieve. As for Qin Minglang and Su Yulan, as long as they don't seek death, I will not harm them. The only condition is that you do not try to scheme against Mo Yunhan. If you want to fight, fight him openly and fairly. He will accept life and death, but if you use other means, don't blame me for tearing your Su family to shreds!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the door.
Her slender back and frail figure, seemingly capable of being crushed with a single blow, yet she coldly ignored the piercing gazes behind her that threatened to skin her alive.
I calmly left the main hall and walked through the cobblestone path of the Buddha Heart Hall.
Even after stepping out of the Buddha Heart Hall, Qinghui still found it hard to believe.
That's Su Weichuan.
After being threatened, they actually let them go without doing anything?
Inside the main hall, Su Weichuan's face was already ashen.
The old servant asked anxiously, "Master, aren't you going to do it?"
Su Weichuan looked at the talisman.
"Although her guess was half true and half false, there were some things that could not be revealed in the Zhaoyang Palace."
The old servant was worried.
“How could this woman have found out so much? It must be that the Ninth Prince sent her to test and intimidate us. Master, if we do nothing, the Ninth Prince will take action against you next.”
