Chapter 190 Arresting People



"Since she is unwilling to work for me and my brother, why not... just deal with it directly!"

Princess Xihe's gaze fell on Su Jinyue's back, her eyes were cold. She lowered her eyes to look at the flowers on the plate, raised her hand to crush the petals, "She doesn't need to keep it."

The maid replied, "Yes, Master, we will do it tonight."

Princess Xihe nodded with satisfaction.

Only after leaving the remote pavilion did Su Jinyue slowly stop.

Su Jinyue glanced back. Princess Xihe would probably not be able to bear it after being rejected by her. Success or failure would depend on these few days.

It all depends on whether Princess Xihe can resist taking action against her.

Su Jinyue was just thinking when two eunuchs came towards her. She took a closer look and recognized that one of them was dressed as the chief eunuch beside the Queen.

"Your servant greets Miss Su."

When the man saw Su Jinyue, he immediately stopped and saluted.

Su Jinyue nodded and asked, "Where are you going?"

The eunuch bowed his head and replied, "In reply to Miss Su, the Queen Mother sent a servant to visit Princess Xihe."

Princess Xihe?

Could it be that Princess Xihe and the Queen are involved?

Su Jinyue frowned slightly. This should be impossible. The Queen wants to protect the Crown Prince, so how can she be involved with people from Western Xinjiang?

However, Su Jinyue did not continue asking, but just nodded and went towards her palace.

After returning to her palace, Su Jinyue immediately placed a secret signal outside the window at the back of the palace.

About an hour later, Xiao Duo appeared at Su Jinyue's place.

Su Jinyue said briefly: "Princess Xihe will probably take action against me in the next few days. This might be a good opportunity."

Xiao Duo frowned, "How did you get into trouble with her?"

"I did it on purpose."

Su Jinyue said: "Since they want to make a move from me, I will give them this opportunity. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already gone to Western Xinjiang. These things are probably their best chance to make a move."

Xiao Duo didn't smile for this. He held Su Jinyue's wrist and said, "Do you know how dangerous it would be if you acted like this?"

Seeing Xiao Duo's worried look, Su Jinyue pursed her lips and comforted him, "I'll be fine. Aren't you still here?"

After hearing this, Xiao Duo let go of Su Jinyue's hand.

"I will protect you and never let anything happen to you."

Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue, "What are you going to do?"

Su Jinyue looked at Xiao Duo and smiled, "It all depends on tonight!"

"Hmm?" Seeing that Su Jinyue didn't say it clearly, Xiao Duo frowned and looked at her.

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "I might be in danger tonight or tomorrow night, so you need to make it clear to His Majesty and reduce the number of people looking for me. Are you willing?"

"I know." Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue, "You must be careful tonight."

Seeing Xiao Duo agreed, Su Jinyue finally felt relieved.

"Um!"

At night, Su Jinyue was alone in her bedroom, reading a book.

The sound of the wind outside the window swept through the treetops, occasionally with a rustling hum.

Princess Xihe's maid was pacing anxiously in a remote pavilion, waiting for news.

From time to time, she raised her head and looked into the distance, with a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Not long after, a dark shadow appeared outside the pavilion. The man called out a few times in a low voice, and then the palace maid hurried out to greet him.

"how?"

Princess Xihe's maid anxiously asked, "How is Su Jinyue doing?"

"Our people are already lying in ambush over there. If we take action at midnight tonight, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Princess Xihe's maid nodded and said, "When you attack her, you must be clean and quick, don't drag it out, you must kill her in one blow!"

"Don't worry, my lord. Our people are the best hunters in Western Xinjiang." The man said in a low voice.

Shortly after Princess Xihe's maid left, the treetops behind the pavilion suddenly trembled.

Xiao Duo's figure appeared behind one of the tree trunks, holding an exquisite bow in his hand with a sharp arrow on it.

He stared at the dark shadow in the distance with cold eyes, but a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Su Jinyue was flipping through the book, and the teacup in her hand had already gone cold.

She raised her eyes and glanced out the window. The night was dark, the moonlight was like water, and the surroundings were so quiet that it made people's hearts stir.

A sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, as if mocking her.

Suddenly, there was a slight noise outside the window.

Su Jinyue's heart trembled, but then her expression calmed down, as if she hadn't noticed anything, and continued to flip through the book.

She raised her hand and picked up a dagger as thin as a cicada's wing, and quietly hid it in her sleeve.

At the same time, outside the bedroom, several dark shadows approached silently. They were nimble and quick, and they were obviously well-trained masters.

A man in black whispered, "Su Jinyue lives alone here, so there's no need to waste time, just fight quickly and make it a quick decision!"

Another man in black nodded, took out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve, opened the lid, and a strong smell of drugs instantly filled the air!

"Let her faint first to avoid any noise and trouble!" the leading man in black gave the order coldly.

In the bedroom, Su Jinyue smelled a strange fragrance and was startled. She quickly covered her mouth and nose and pretended to be unconscious.

"Bang--"

The man in black reacted very quickly, jumping in with the sword in his hand pointed directly at Su Jinyue. However, the moment they stepped into the room, there was a "click" sound under their feet.

"Not good!" the leading black-clad man shouted, "There's a trap—"

Before he finished his words, a cloud of white powder fell from the roof.

The powder glowed strangely in the moonlight. When it fell on the men in black, they quickly covered their throats and fell to the ground.

Su Jinyue stood up slowly, with coldness in her eyes.

"You guys are so anxious. I thought you would come later." Her voice was not loud, but every word was cold.

At this moment, there were messy footsteps outside the window, and more men in black were approaching.

"Su Jinyue, you can't run away!" A deep voice came from outside.

Su Jinyue's eyes darkened slightly, but she was not flustered.

She clapped her hands lightly, and then several figures jumped out from the darkness. They were all guards with extraordinary skills, and the leader was Xiao Duo.

"Run?" Xiao Duo sneered, "Who gave you the confidence to think she would run?"

When the men in black saw this, their expressions changed. They shouted in horror, "It's Xiao Duo!"

"Why don't you surrender?" Xiao Duo drew the sword from his waist. The sword light was as cold as frost, and instantly forced back several men in black.

He moved swiftly and fiercely, and after a few rounds, more than half of the men in black had been killed.

One of the men in black gritted his teeth and yelled, "We've been ambushed. Get out of here!"

Xiao Duo's eyes turned cold, "Want to leave?! It's not that easy!"
