Su Jinyue couldn't help but chuckle, with a calm and cold look in her eyes, "When did I need these powers? Do you think you can make me betray my family and the court with false promises?"

"Miss Su, don't you want to change your life?"

"Change your fate?"

Su Jinyue looked indifferent. She had died once, so even if she wanted to change her fate, it was in her own hands.

"I think it's not necessary."

At this time, the man from Western Xinjiang frowned slightly, obviously angered by Su Jinyue's firm attitude.

"Su Chengjiang, if you are hesitant about this, I can just kill you right away. You are of no use to me anyway!"

Hearing his words, Su Chengjiang panicked and said quickly: "No, no, I agree, just to save my life, I...I am willing to work for you!"

At this moment, Su Jinyue probably understood the real reason why the Marquis' Mansion was eventually destroyed.

"Very good," the man nodded with satisfaction, then turned to stare at Su Jinyue, "So Miss Su, are you really going to be so stubborn forever?"

Su Jinyue showed a stubborn look on her face, "I will never give in!"

"In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The man waved his hand to signal his men to take her away. Before leaving, he said fiercely: "I will give you a chance to regret it, but I hope it won't be too late by then!"

The moment Su Jinyue was lifted up, Su Chengjiang suddenly shouted, "Wait! Jinyue, I know you don't want to listen to me, but you are my sister, I must protect you!"

Su Jinyue looked at Su Chengjiang, "You protect me? Isn't it clear what your choice is?"

The two of them looked at each other, Su Chengjiang opened his mouth but said nothing. He could only watch Su Jinyue being taken away!

"etc!"

Su Chengjiang shouted, "Wait a minute! If something happens to my sister, I won't be able to help you!"

His chest heaved as he looked in Su Jinyue's direction, "I can convince her, just give me some time!"

The man from Western Xinjiang waved his hand impatiently and had Su Jinyue dragged back.

"It's only the time of an incense stick. That's all you have."

After they all left, Su Chengjiang spoke carefully, "Don't be stubborn, your life is more important now!"

Su Jinyue looked at her second brother coldly, "Second brother, do you really think they will let us go? Once the time is right, you will be the first one to be abandoned!"

Su Chengjiang had a complicated expression, but whispered: "But at least we can still survive now. As long as we agree to them, we still have a chance."

"I know you will say I'm a coward, but this is the only way for both of us to survive."

Su Chengjiang's voice gradually sank. "In the past, I just thought that you deserved to die. You took away everything from Su Zhiyao, and you shouldn't have stayed in the Marquis' Mansion."

"But I don't know why, from when did I start to feel that my ideas were too absurd."

Su Chengjiang looked at Su Jinyue, "You obviously didn't do anything, why do I think you are so vicious."

"But it's useless to say these now. I just want to protect you and don't want anything to happen to you."

Su Chengjiang is still somewhat useful, unlike Su Jingnian, who is hopelessly crazy for Su Zhiyao.

"I understand." Su Jinyue said lightly.

"and you……"

Su Chengjiang wanted to persuade him, but Su Jinyue said, "You don't need to persuade me. This stick of incense is enough time for someone to come and rescue us."

"I was in the carriage, I woke up before you did, and sent a message outside. I think they should be arriving soon."

Su Chengjiang was stunned. "So what you just said was just to delay time?"

Su Jinyue nodded, and said indifferently to Su Chengjiang, "Yeah."

"So I just said that you didn't say this. Are you not going to save me?"

Su Jinyue did not hide her emotions and nodded to Su Chengjiang, "Since you already think so, I naturally did not save your graduation."

"I know, I am afraid of death... I am not worthy of being the legitimate son of Ningyuan Marquis's mansion."

Su Jinyue said: "No matter what you say or do now, escaping is the most important thing."

At this moment, there was suddenly a sound of fierce fighting outside.

The door was slammed open with a bang, bringing with it a cloud of dust!

Several men in black rushed in. The leader quickly dealt with the guards and then walked up to Su Jinyue.

"Miss Su, we are here to rescue you, let's go!"

"What's going on?" Su Chengjiang was a little confused as he hadn't fully figured out the situation.

"Someone come to rescue us."

Su Jinyue answered briefly, and then said to the people who saved them: "Thank you for saving me. I will need to trouble you on the way back."

The man nodded, "Miss Su, please follow me. We have set up an ambush outside. There is enough time to retreat."

The group quickly left the ruined temple. On the way, Su Chengjiang kept looking back, "Will those people catch up with us?"

Su Jinyue glanced at him and said, "Don't worry, we are well prepared. They are stretched thin and can't catch up with us."

The two walked quickly to the carriage, and the leading man in black handed a letter to Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, this is the letter that the master asked me to bring."

Su Jinyue took the letter and quickly opened it to read.

The letter was written by Xiao Duo himself.

"Jin Yue, I knew you were in trouble a long time ago, and I have arranged an elite team to prepare for any emergency. If you receive this letter, please return home quickly, be careful, and plan everything carefully."

After reading it, Su Jinyue felt relieved. She turned to Su Chengjiang and said, "I'll take you back home first. I have something else to do later. Please tell my mother for me."

However, Su Chengjiang's face was still a little pale. He nodded, but seemed to be a little worried.

"Sister, what else do you want to do? How about I go with you?"

Su Jinyue shook her head and refused, "No need, it would be the most troublesome thing for you to follow me."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengjiang looked at Su Jinyue with a complicated expression, but ultimately did not insist.

"Then you must be careful."

Su Jinyue turned to the man in black who was escorting her and whispered, "Let's go."

The men in black nodded, and several of them immediately got on the carriage and quietly left the crowd.

On the way, Su Jinyue had a lot of thoughts in his mind. It seemed that he had to go to the palace.

Soon, the carriage stopped outside the palace.

Su Jinyue was taken in through an inconspicuous side door, and was greeted by the eunuch who was beside the emperor.

"Miss Su, His Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Study. Please follow me."

"yes."

Entering the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing memorials at his desk. Seeing Su Jinyue coming in, he raised his head slightly and said, "Miss Su, you're here."

Su Jinyue knelt and saluted, "Your Majesty."

The emperor's eyes fell on her meaningfully, "I heard that just now, those people were so bold as to pretend to be from the palace and take you away?"

"Your Majesty is very perceptive, and that is indeed the case."
