After Cui Mixue left, Su Mengyan also came out from behind and looked over curiously, "Chun He, what do you think she is going to do?"
"I don't know either." Chun He shook her head honestly, "Miss, let's get out of here quickly."
Su Mengyan stood there and thought for a while, but had no clue, so she had to leave.
However, when she came out of another alley, she was knocked unconscious by someone from behind. Chunhe just asked for help when she was also knocked unconscious.
"This should be it. It's exactly the same as what that young lady said." The man who knocked Su Mengyan unconscious seemed to be confirming something. When the other man found nothing wrong, he immediately lifted the person up and said, "Hurry and send her to the Rui Palace."
The narrow alley soon returned to calm, with only Chunhe still lying there.
Not long after, another woman in a light yellow dress appeared. A maid followed her, chattering, "Miss, this doesn't look like a place for a reunion. The young lady must have been lying to you."
"No, she's already challenged me. If I don't go, it would mean I'm scared." The person who came in later was Cui Wanru, the second daughter of the Cui family. Cui Mixue had designed a plan to lure her here.
"Miss, there seems to be someone lying in front." The maid took a few steps back in fear. Cui Wanru was not a good person. After taking a look and seeing that it was not someone she knew, she did nothing.
They waited for a while, but Cui Mixue didn't show up. Realizing she had been tricked, Cui Wanru was furious and rushed back to the Cui family to settle the score.
The alley returned to silence again, with only Chunhe still lying there.
A quarter of an hour later, the guard who was left behind by Su Mengyan finally found this place and forcibly woke Chunhe up.
"Where did the young lady go?" the guard asked anxiously.
Chun He was so frightened that she almost cried, and hurriedly said, "Go and inform His Highness that the young lady has been knocked unconscious and taken away."
One guard returned to the East Palace, while the other remained where he was and continued to ask, "Did you see clearly who it was?"
"They are a group of ruffians." Chun He remembered their appearance. They were the ones who had done business with Cui Mixue.
Meanwhile, Su Mengyan had been secretly sent to the Rui Palace. She opened her eyes to find herself in a charming room, lit with some unknown incense, and her hands and feet were not tied.
Su Mengyan raised her hand and rubbed her aching head, which made her feel more awake. She remembered being knocked unconscious by someone from behind. She didn't see anyone's face at all, and she wasn't sure who had tied her up here.
She tried to open the door, but as expected, it was locked. Su Mengyan shouted loudly, but there was no one outside and no response at all.
After hearing the guard's words, Situ Yao led his men out of the palace with a gloomy face. He found the flustered Chun He and asked, "Tell me the details."
Chun He was afraid that Situ Yao would chop her to pieces the next moment, so she said tremblingly, "It was a group of ruffians we had never seen before. The young master and I saw them doing some business with Miss Cui before."
"Cui Mixue!" Situ Yao gritted his teeth and said, "Go to Cui's house and bring Cui Mixue here."
Cui Mixue was packing her things, preparing to return to the East Palace. She saw Cui Wanru, who was supposed to be in the Rui Palace, rushing over aggressively. She dropped her things in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"Did you think I would wait for you there foolishly?" Cui Wanru said disdainfully, "Tell me, what exactly did you want to do by tricking me there?"
"If you don't tell me, I will tell my father now and let him ask you." Cui Wanru threatened her.
Cui Mixue was confused. She had clearly ordered those people to kidnap Cui Wanru, and she was still fine now. So who was sent to Prince Rui's Mansion?
If Situ Zhao discovered she had sent the wrong person, he would probably be furious, and it would be even harder to get rid of him in the future. She had to return to the East Palace as soon as possible and seek Situ Yao's protection.
Cui Mixue glanced coldly at the person standing in front of her and said, "Get out of the way!"
"If you don't explain clearly today, don't even think about leaving the Cui family." Cui Wanru did not give in at all.
"I left the palace to do something for His Highness. If I return late and His Highness blames me, can you afford it?" Cui Mixue used Situ Yao to intimidate her. Cui Wanru was only frightened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. "Don't act like a bully. You are so shameless that you insist on sticking to His Highness, but he doesn't even look at you. You still expect His Highness to help you? Don't dream on it."
Cui Wanru's words made her very embarrassed. Even though it was the truth, Cui Mixue still couldn't accept it. Her face became even colder. "Will you give in?"
"Miss, the prince is here." Bi Wu's words interrupted the sisters' quarrel. Cui Mixue raised her head proudly, "Are you going to continue to stop us?"
Cui Wanru was a little surprised, but she was still afraid of Situ Yao, so she stepped aside, walked up to her and said, "Don't think that I can't do anything to you just because His Highness is helping me. If I find out that you have another evil plan to harm me, I will not let you go."
Cui Mixue was not afraid of her and was determined to meet Situ Yao, feeling very excited.
Unexpectedly, Situ Yao didn't wait in front at all, but rushed directly into her courtyard and said with a cold face, "Bring Cui Mixue here."
The ruffians who had taken the silver had been captured by Situ Yao and brought to the Cui residence. The guards pushed them in front of Cui Mixue and asked, "Where did you take Su Mengyan?"
Cui Mixue was stunned at first, but when she saw how many people were being held captive by Situ Yao, she quickly figured it out. She hadn't expected Su Mengyan to be so unlucky that she would be sent to the Rui Palace by mistake.
Facing Situ Yao's fury, she didn't dare show any pride. She just shook her head and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean? Since I left the palace today, I have been at the Cui family and have never seen them."
"At the entrance of the West Street alley, I saw everything. Miss Cui, stop lying. Where did you take the young lady?" Chunhe told the whole place.
Cui Mixue had no choice but to whisper, "Whether Your Highness believes it or not, I really never intended to harm Consort Su."
The beauty shed tears, which aroused pity. Unfortunately, Situ Yao didn't want to appreciate it. He pinched her chin and asked with a murderous look, "Where is the person?"
"In, in the Rui Palace." Cui Mixue finished her words with difficulty. Situ Yao pushed her away, looking down at her with a cold look, "If anything happens to her, you will be buried with her!"
Cui Mixue squatted on the ground dejectedly, watching Situ Yao walk away.
Her explanation seemed to be blown away by the wind, and no one wanted to listen. Because everyone in the Eastern Palace knew that Cui Mixue was in love with the Crown Prince and jealous of Consort Su, who was always by his side. She had used many tricks in the past, but none of them had resulted in a loss of life. This time, she had accidentally sent the wrong person, and no one would believe her explanation.
