The other men in black reacted quickly and tried to retreat from various exits, but Xiao Duo and the palace's men had already ambushed outside the bedroom!

Su Jinyue stood in the inner room, watching coldly, and suddenly said loudly: "If you surrender now, His Majesty can still spare your lives!"

When the man in black outside heard this, he was startled.

They exchanged glances, and one of them said urgently, "Retreat! Our plan tonight has failed. As long as we have life, we will never run out of fuel!"

Xiao Duo's eyes were stern, and he ordered coldly: "Don't let any of them go!"

The guards immediately gave chase, and in an instant, the sounds of fighting faded away, and the bedroom returned to peace again!

Su Jinyue slowly walked to the door, looked up at the sky which was already turning pale, and sighed softly: "I'm afraid Princess Xihe has already lost half a point in this game of chess."

Xiao Duo wiped the blood off the sword, walked to her side, frowned, "You are too brave. If you hadn't reacted quickly just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to protect you."

Su Jinyue turned to look at him, a faint smile on her face, "But it is precisely because of you that I can boldly lure the snake out of its hole without worry."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Duo finally sighed helplessly, "I am worried about you. If you keep acting like this, I will never feel comfortable with you staying in the palace."

Su Jinyue blinked and asked, "If that's the case, why did General Xiao help me this time?"

Xiao Duo was speechless. After a moment, he said helplessly in a low voice: "Because I believe in you."

This sentence made Su Jinyue stunned, and a complex emotion flashed across her eyes, but she did not respond.

At this moment, a guard came running over and knelt down to report: "Sir, we have captured several men in black. According to your order, they were all captured alive. However... one of them seems to have a special identity. Please take a look personally."

Xiao Duo and Su Jinyue looked at each other, and each of them had some guesses in their minds.

"Lead the way." Xiao Duo said coldly.

The two followed the guards to the dungeon in the palace. A ragged man in black was escorted to the cell. He was covered in blood, but he still gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Su Jinyue stood outside the cell, looking down at the man, her tone calm but sharp: "Princess Xihe's assassin?"

The man sneered, "I don't know what you are talking about."

Su Jinyue chuckled, "It doesn't matter if you don't know. When your Princess Xihe finds out that her people have been captured, she will probably be anxious."

A trace of panic flashed across the eyes of the man in black, but he quickly calmed down, "You might as well kill me. I can't go back anyway, so don't force me to wrongly accuse anyone!"

Su Jinyue raised her eyebrows slightly, turned to Xiao Duo and said, "It seems to be a tough nut to crack. What do you think?"

Xiao Duo smiled coldly, "Even a tough guy has a soft spot. Come on, treat him well."

Hearing this, the man in black finally showed fear in his eyes, but he still forced himself to remain calm and said, "You won't get any information!"

Su Jinyue ignored him and turned away, leaving only one sentence: "In that case, enjoy it."

After walking out of the dungeon, Su Jinyue frowned slightly, "This matter will soon reach Princess Xihe's ears. If she is desperate, I'm afraid she will take more actions."

Xiao Duo nodded. "This is exactly what we want. The more we force her to risk everything, the more likely she will reveal her flaws."

Su Jinyue pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "Do you think this chess game is interesting?"

Xiao Duo was startled when he heard this, then shook his head and laughed, "You are a little too brave."

Su Jinyue sighed softly, "Life is like chess, once you make a move, you can never regret it. I want to see how much Princess Xihe can do to turn the tables."

Before he finished speaking, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard in the distance.

A guard came running over with a panicked look on his face, "Miss Su! Princess Yuzhu is in trouble!"

Su Jinyue's expression froze, "Oh no! Take me to find the little princess!"

Su Jinyue was shocked and she quickly followed the guards to the palace where Princess Yuzhu was.

Along the way, Su Jinyue quickly thought about what might happen in her mind.

"How could something happen to the little princess?" Su Jinyue quickened her pace.

"I don't know either, it seems like he's been poisoned, the imperial physician is already treating him!" the guard replied nervously.

Su Jinyue's heart sank when she heard this. When she rushed to Princess Yuzhu's bedroom, she saw chaos in the palace. Several imperial doctors were surrounding the bed with serious looks on their faces.

"Yuzhu!" Su Jinyue rushed into the inner room and looked at the pale-faced Princess Yuzhu, feeling a pang of pain in her heart.

"Sister Su..." Yuzhu opened her eyes weakly, her voice weak and hoarse.

Su Jinyue held her hand and tried to stay calm. "Don't be afraid. Sister is here. Everything will be fine."

At this time, the leading doctor stood up, walked to Su Jinyue, and whispered: "Miss Su, the poison the princess was poisoned with is extremely rare, but fortunately it was discovered in time. We will do our best to save her."

Su Jinyue took the little princess' pulse and breathed a sigh of relief after finding that her condition was stable.

She took out the hundred-disease pill and handed it to the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital, "This medicine can cure a hundred poisons, but the little princess is still young, so please consider the dosage."

The imperial physician in front took it and bowed to Su Jinyue repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Su!"

"Then I'll leave it to you gentlemen." Su Jinyue knew that the imperial physician should not be disturbed at this time, so she withdrew.

At that time, the virtuous concubine also rushed over. When she saw Su Jinyue, she could not hide the anger on her face!

"How did you take care of Yuzhu! How could she be poisoned!?"

"My Lady Consort Xian, this matter has nothing to do with her." Xiao Duo said, "She was almost assassinated. We just learned that the little princess was injured, so we rushed over."

When Concubine Xian saw Xiao Duo, she was slightly stunned, "Duo'er! Are you okay?! That's great!"

Xiao Duo bowed to Concubine Xian and said, "Your Majesty, there is still danger in the palace. Please stay in the Princess Palace and take care of the princess."

"As for the rest, I will explain this matter to the Empress later."

After saying this, the two of them retreated.

Su Jinyue said to Xiao Duo: "You don't have to worry about me. His Majesty needs help."

"Ruan Liuzheng is already protecting His Majesty, I'm here to protect you."

"No." Su Jinyue shook her head. "I'm going to meet Princess Xihe in person. Give me a team of people and let me lead them there. His Majesty's side is more important!"

Xiao Duo was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll give you a team of elite soldiers, but you must promise me that if the situation goes wrong, you will retreat immediately and not act recklessly."

Su Jinyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life."

Not long after, Su Jinyue led a team of elite soldiers and headed straight for Princess Xihe's palace.

The lights were on in Princess Xihe's bedroom.

The palace maids went in and out with worried looks on their faces, and it was obvious that there was some unusual movement inside.

Su Jinyue stood outside the palace gate, looking coldly at the magnificent palace in front of her, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
