Chapter 68
Su Yuexing opened the door and asked, "Dr. Mei, do you have any poison on you?"
Sai Taxue was slightly startled and said, "Poison?"
Su Yuexing nodded and continued, "That kind of poison causes unbearable pain!"
"Why do you need something like this?" he asked, puzzled.
Su Yuexing said, "Of course it's useful!"
Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him, Sai Taxue did not press her for details, and took out a medicine bottle from her bosom.
"This is a powder I developed in my spare time. If you sprinkle it on a person, it will cause their skin to ulcerate."
Su Yuexing's eyes lit up as she looked at the medicine bottle, as if she had found a treasure. "Thank you! Dr. Mei!"
After she left, Yue and Hua walked up to Sai Taxue and Yue said, "Why did you give her a bottle of poison?"
Sai Taxue replied, "She asked me for it herself, and I can't just not give her what I have."
Yue looked displeased and was about to say something to him when Hua interrupted, "Miss Su, who are you going to kill with the poison?"
As soon as she said that, both of them fell silent, and Sai Taxue knew who she was going to target.
But if I reveal it myself, Yue will definitely suspect my identity.
“You’ll find out if you follow them; you might even be able to help,” he said.
Yue nodded and said, "I think what he said makes sense." He immediately followed.
Su Yuexing arrived at the princess's residence, and the eldest son's eyes lit up. He said, "You've come!"
She smiled and asked, "How is the princess's residence?"
He replied, "The princess's residence has recently hired a new batch of maids to serve the prince consort's mother."
"Their relationship has deteriorated even further since the princess returned."
"Moreover, the prince consort always leaves early and returns late, and is very close to the Duke's mansion."
Su Yuexing took out some silver from her pocket and placed it in the young master's hand, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
“From today onwards, you no longer need to keep an eye on the Princess’s residence.”
The eldest brother muttered, "What's going on lately? Businesses are failing one after another."
Su Yuexing asked, "What? Besides me, are there other people who want to do business with you?"
The young leader put the silver in his pocket and said, "It's a big deal, and this person is very familiar with you."
Su Yuexing frowned slightly and asked, "Are you familiar with me?"
I don't know many people in this capital city.
"Who is it?" she asked.
The little beggar grinned wickedly, stretched out his hand, and rubbed it together.
Su Yuexing smiled helplessly, "You're really good at business!"
"But I have important things to do right now!"
Su Yuexing knocked out a maid, changed into the maid's clothes, and walked around the princess's residence.
"Hey!" someone suddenly called out to her.
Su Yuexing stopped in her tracks. Had she been discovered? She felt a surge of nervousness.
The old woman came up to her and asked, "Which master do you serve?"
Why do you look so unfamiliar?
Su Yuexing slowly said, "I am a new maid who serves the old lady."
The old woman said irritably, "The old lady's courtyard is not here; this is the room of the prince consort and the princess."
"Yes!" Su Yuexing replied respectfully.
The old woman scolded, "You bunch of little maids, you're always trying to get into the prince consort's bed!"
"Watch out, the princess might twist your heads off!"
Su Yuexing feigned fear and said, "This servant wouldn't dare!"
The old woman snorted coldly and said, "That's for the best!"
Su Yuexing turned and left, hiding in the shadows. All she had to do was sprinkle the powder into Liu Jin's bathwater when it got dark.
That night, Liu Jin returned home excitedly, saying that they would take action the next day.
Liu Jin, your good days are coming!
When the prime minister takes control of the court, I, as his subordinate, will certainly receive a reward.
"Your Highness, the bathwater is ready!" a maidservant announced as she entered.
Liu Jin was in a great mood today, and looking at the maid under his command, he found her very pleasing to the eye.
He stepped forward, put his arm around her waist, and whispered in her ear, "Tonight, let's take a bath together."
The maid blushed and said in a coquettish voice, "You're so annoying!"
The two arrived at the bathtub, and Su Yuexing hid behind the cabinet, watching the situation closely.
Why did you bring a woman with you?! Su Yuexing was shocked. I only want to kill Liu Jin. If this woman dies because of me...
Wouldn't I be a sinner then!
While the two were being affectionate, Su Yuexing appeared and patted Liu Jin on the shoulder.
The maidservant cried out in surprise when she saw the person who suddenly appeared in the room.
Liu Jin turned around and saw Su Yuexing!
She sprinkled white powder on herself. "Ah!" His face immediately swelled up and he lay on the ground screaming in pain.
His face was steaming with white vapor, accompanied by a hissing sound.
"Su Yuexing!"
"I was so close! I was about to succeed!" Liu Jin curled up into a ball.
After finishing her business, Su Yuexing quickly walked outside. Princess Changyang approached her, calling out, "Su Yuexing!"
The old woman was startled, remembering that she had seen this maidservant during the day.
Princess Changyang had just learned that Liu Jin was favoring a maid, so she hurriedly brought her people over.
Could this maid be Su Yuexing?
From inside the room came another woman's terrified voice, "The prince consort! He's dead! Someone, come quick!"
Princess Changyang was startled and rushed over to check. She saw that Liu Jin's face was completely disfigured and was emitting a foul stench.
"Ugh!" Princess Changyang ran out feeling nauseous.
Yue, who was observing from the shadows, was debating whether or not to take action to rescue Su Yuexing.
Princess Changyang, her face deathly pale, walked up to Su Yuexing and asked, "Why did you kill him?"
Su Yuexing said coldly, "He owes me a life!"
When Liu heard that her son had been murdered, she rushed over and saw Su Yuexing in the yard.
She realized what was happening, grabbed Su Yuexing's collar, and demanded, "Why did you kill my son!"
Princess Changyang ordered, "Guards! Lock the old lady up!"
Liu was startled and exclaimed, "Princess! Have you locked up the wrong person?"
"This woman killed my son! Your husband!"
The princess snorted coldly and said, "It was I who ordered her to do it!"
Liu was struck by lightning, and the others were also shocked and speechless.
Su Yuexing looked at her with a puzzled expression. Why would she help her?
Princess Changyang instructed, "Announce to the outside world that the prince consort died suddenly!"
"If you reveal anything about Miss Su, I, the princess, will exterminate your entire family!"
"Yes!" the crowd responded.
Liu cursed, "You vicious woman!" Several men dragged her away and gagged her with a cloth.
Princess Changyang ordered, "Leave the驸马's body to rot in the wilderness!"
No one is allowed to collect his body!
Princess Changyang led Su Yuexing to the room. "Wang Po, you stay outside and guard the room. No one is allowed to come near!"
Su Yuexing asked, "Princess, why did you do this?"
Princess Changyang said calmly, "Because of him, I've wanted to take action against him for a long time!"
"I just haven't found a suitable opportunity. Now that you've taken care of things for me, I'll definitely clean up your mess."
Princess Changyang poured her a glass of water and continued, "During the days I was missing, he went out to seek pleasure with women, and I don't know how many maids in the Guang Mansion he favored."
"When I returned to the mansion, he was making out with one of the maids in bed."
“But I didn’t take action at the time because he kept begging me and telling me he would change.”
"I've softened my heart time and time again!" she said, tears welling in her eyes.
"Until recently, he stopped being afraid of me and started arguing with me several times, and our relationship has reached a freezing point!"
“Once, during a big argument with him, he let slip that I wouldn’t be able to stay in my princess position for long!”
He said I would kneel at his feet like a beggar and beg him to help me!
“I thought it was strange when he said those things, so I kept an eye on him.”
"Secretly send people to follow him and find out who he's been with these days."
“Guess what I found?” she asked.
Su Yuexing thought for a moment, then frowned and shook her head, saying, "What?"
Princess Changyang then explained, "I discovered that he was with the Prime Minister and some other ministers in the court!"
"They're plotting to seize power!"
Su Yuexing recalled Liu Jin's last words and said, "Then the Emperor is in danger!"
Princess Changyang continued, "Ever since the Divine Physician Sai disappeared, my father's condition has been poor."
"All matters, large and small, in the court are handled by the Prime Minister."
"And I haven't seen my father for a very long time!"
Princess Changyang speculated, "Judging from Liu Jin's demeanor upon returning to the manor tonight, I guess they might make their move tomorrow or in the next few days!"
Su Yuexing said, "Princess! Why are you telling me all this?"
Princess Changyang explained, "I hope you can help me!"
Su Yuexing frowned and said, "Shall I help you?"
"I have nothing. How can I help you?"
“No! You have it!” she said.
Su Yuexing asked in confusion, "What do I have?"
Princess Changyang said, "You wouldn't harm me!"
Su Yuexing twitched the corner of her mouth and said, "But that doesn't mean I'll help you."
Princess Changyang said earnestly, "Father will summon Li Jinghe tomorrow."
"Don't you find this very strange at this critical juncture?"
Su Yuexing's heart tightened, and her brows furrowed.
Princess Changyang continued, "My father didn't even summon my eldest brother and third brother, so why did he summon the people from the Duke's mansion?"
"Does Father Emperor wish to summon him, or does Meng Kang intend to do something?"
Su Yuexing said earnestly, "I'll help you!"
Princess Changyang nodded and said, "Thank you!"
At night, after Princess Changyang had finished preparing everything in the palace, Su Yuexing dressed as a palace maid.
She arrived at the emperor's palace, but his room was guarded, so she could only watch from the outside.
When Yue returned to the courtyard, Hua asked, "Why are you so late?"
He poured himself a glass of water and said, "Master may be in danger!"
"Miss Su is currently in the palace!"
Sai Taxue frowned deeply. "At the palace! Why would he go to the palace!"
Hua had the same question and asked, "Why?"
Yue recounted what had happened at the princess's residence to them.
Hanamichi: "No! We have to go to the palace to protect our master!"
Yue nodded and said, "In that case, let's go quickly!"
Sai Taxue said, "You've been busy for so long tonight, you should rest here."
"I am with the flowers in the palace."
Hanamichi: "Yes! Tsuki, you should get some rest!"
Yue waved her hand and said, "It's nothing! Master's affairs are the most important!"
Sai Taxue patted his shoulder, "But your health is still the most important!"
Then Yue felt dizzy and his vision blurred, and he collapsed onto the table.
Hua looked at Sai Taxue in shock, "You drugged him!" She drew her sword and pressed it against Sai Taxue's neck.
