Chapter 21 Pretending to Worry
After Huo Xingzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left the room without looking back.
After leaving the wing, he instructed Linglong: "After Miss Su changes her clothes, escort her to the women's seats in the inspection area. Don't let anyone notice."
"Yes, Master."
Su Yuheng changed her clothes in the side room, combed her hair back into her original bun, put on her original makeup, and then left the room.
When she left the room, she did not see Huo Xingzhi.
There was only one female guard in black, Linglong.
Linglong walked up to her and said, "Miss Su, I will take you to the inspection site."
Su Yuheng nodded: "Thank you very much."
The other side.
Su Yanqiu was shot by an arrow. Although the arrow did not hit his vitals, the poison on the arrow was gradually spreading to his limbs and bones.
He gritted his teeth, endured the piercing pain, and walked out of the dense forest.
"The woman in Huo Xingzhi's arms can't be Heng'er, absolutely not!"
"Prince." Mo Yu saw cold sweat on his forehead and said worriedly, "How about we go find a doctor first to remove the poison from your body before we go find the Fourth Young Lady?"
Su Yanqiu bit his lips which had turned pale and looked at Mo Yu beside him.
"Have you forgotten that Heng'er knows medicine? Let her detoxify me."
"I won't hinder you from going to the inspection site now. Send someone to the women's seat to bring Heng'er to me. This prince wants to see her today!"
Mo Yu asked, "What about King Qi?"
Su Yanqiu's pale lips curled up slightly, revealing a strange smile on his face: "As for Prince Qi, don't worry, he will be satisfied with this prince's arrangement."
——
When Su Yuheng returned to the women's seat, Liu was no longer in her original seat, but was chatting with a noble lady from the capital on the other side of the women's seat.
Only Liu Jinshu was watching the competition.
On the stage, the competition was about piano.
Liu Jinshu felt a little unhappy when he saw Su Yuheng coming back.
After all, the next scene is poetry.
The poem in her hand was torn from Su Yuheng's poetry collection. Now that Su Yuheng is back, it would be embarrassing if it was exposed during the competition.
"Cousin, didn't you go to enjoy the peach blossoms? Why are you back so soon? Why don't you enjoy them a little longer?"
Su Yuheng walked to the chair with an expressionless face and sat down. The moment he lowered his head, he saw a piece of paper in Liu Jinshu's hand.
I think the poem was copied on it.
"Cousin, don't you want me to go back to this inspection field?"
Liu Jinshu quickly shook his head: "Jinshu didn't mean that."
"Jinshu just thought that the peach blossoms are in full bloom today. If my cousin doesn't appreciate them today, she won't have the chance to come to the Princess's Mansion another day."
Su Yuheng sighed, looked at the four or five ladies from prominent families competing on the stage, and said, "What's so beautiful about peach blossoms? They can't compare to the beauties on the stage."
"The next competition is poetry. My cousin said she knows a thing or two about poetry, and she's already thought of a poem to use for this year's Spring Banquet."
Liu Jinshu's cheeks flushed bright red as she said, "Jinshu will make her own arrangements. No need to worry about it, cousin."
Su Yuheng could see that Liu Jinshu really wanted her to leave the inspection site.
However, it's okay for her to leave.
Today she wanted to see how the Su family could withstand the disaster brought by Liu Jinshu.
She gently picked up the teacup on the table and took a few sips, then said, "Just arrange it, cousin. Maybe you can win the first prize and receive a reward from His Majesty and the favor of the prince."
Liu Jinshu lowered her head shyly, already having a plan in mind.
There is no doubt that this poem was taken from Su Yuheng's room. Even if she goes on stage later and Su Yuheng notices that there is something wrong with the poem, she can still argue to his face and say that she wrote the poem herself.
As she thought about this, she inexplicably felt a sense of confidence in her heart.
"What are you talking about, cousin? Jinshu only wants to win some honor for the Marquis' Mansion, not to win the championship."
The two were sitting in the women's seats watching the ladies from various families compete on the stage when a maid in pink approached from a distance.
The maid stared at Su Yuheng, and their eyes met.
Su Yuheng could roughly guess that it was sent by Su Yanqiu.
As expected, the pink-dressed maid walked up to Su Yuheng, bowed to her, and whispered, "Fourth Miss, the prince wants you to go with this servant to see him."
Su Yuheng put down the teacup in his hand and deliberately asked, "Who are you? How do I know you were sent by my second brother?"
The pink-dressed maid was a little surprised. She lowered her head slightly and said, "My name is Liuli. I'm a new maid in the Prince's Qingfeng Courtyard. I've come to this Spring Banquet with the Prince today."
Su Yuheng's cold gaze swept lightly over the pink-dressed maid, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "Liuli?"
"I've never seen you in the Marquis' Mansion, how can I know whether what you said is true or false?"
The maid felt a little embarrassed by Su Yuheng's words.
What the prince arranged right now was extremely important, so she could only speak patiently.
"Whether Miss Four believes it or not, the Crown Prince is injured and poisoned. Please come with me to help him detoxify."
Liu Jinshu, who was standing by, frowned upon hearing this. "What did you say? Second...cousin is injured? This is the Spring Festival Banquet. How could he be injured for no reason?"
She glanced at the maid, and seemed to think that she was arranged by Liu, so she advised Su Yuheng.
"Cousin, my cousin is injured now. I know medical skills, so I'll go and take a look at him."
"My cousin loves me the most. If anything happens to him, I'm afraid I'll be sad too."
Su Yuheng sat on a chair, looking nonchalantly at the anxious maid in front of him, and said, "How can you prove that you are your second brother's maid?"
Liuli thought for a moment, took out a token given to her by Mo Yu from her sleeve, and handed it to Su Yuheng.
"This token was given to me by the guard Mo beside the prince. Miss Four can take a look at it."
Su Yuheng picked up the token and glanced at it before standing up from his chair.
She had known for a long time that the maid was Su Yanqiu's woman, and it was just an excuse to delay time.
After all, she doesn't want to act in too many dramas, because if she does, it will be easy to be exposed.
She held the token and examined it for a moment, feigning a look of worry on her face.
"Are you really the maid of my second brother's Qingfeng Courtyard?"
Liuli nodded: "This servant dare not deceive the Fourth Miss."
Su Yuheng asked, "How is Second Brother now? Is his life in danger?"
The maid was startled by Su Yuheng's sudden change of attitude. She hurriedly said, "Fourth Miss, there are too many people here. Please come with me to see the prince."
Su Yuheng nodded quickly: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Liuli to take me to see my second brother."
"Then the fourth young lady will come with me."
After Su Yuheng followed Liuli out of the women's seat, he saw Mo Yu who was in a state of panic.
When Mo Yu saw Su Yuheng, he immediately rushed over.
"Fourth Miss, the prince wants to see you. He is injured now and I'm afraid he needs Fourth Miss to help him detoxify."
Su Yuheng's eyes were red, she bit her thin lips lightly, and her voice suddenly choked.
"How is my second brother? How could he be poisoned out of nowhere? Who hurt him? Nothing can happen to him."
Mo Yu said, "Don't be sad, Fourth Miss. Go with me to see the prince first."
Su Yuheng nodded with red eyes, and the moment he lowered his head, a strange curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
After today, she finally had the opportunity to find an excuse to leave the Su family for some time.
Next, it depends on how she performs.
