Su Shunci was still thinking about Song Wanwan, so she handed the rice wine in her hand to the maid Jinyun and asked her to take the rice wine back first.
After Jinyun left, Su Shunci followed Qiandai carefully and watched her go through many twists and turns and enter the archery field.
At this time, the eunuchs in the archery field were busy packing up bows and preparing arrows and targets.
Someone shouted, "Hurry up and check again. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in person today, so we can't make any mistakes."
Su Shunci hid beside the stable, looked around, and finally found Qiandai's trace.
At this time, Qian Dai followed a middle-aged eunuch into the easternmost wing, and the two looked around before entering. Fortunately, Su Shunci was small and was hiding at the edge of the stable, blocked by the fence and out of sight.
After the two of them went in, Su Shunci also carefully went around Ma Peng and took advantage of the fact that no one was around to go to the back of the wing room.
There were weeds growing behind the wing, and Su Shunci squatted in the weeds outside the back window, just enough to hide his figure.
She gently pushed the window open a crack, and the sound from inside could be faintly heard.
"Eunuch Zhang, this is the silver the princess gave you as a reward. Once the matter is settled, you will definitely benefit from it later."
Su Shunci recognized Qiandai's voice, and upon hearing these words, he knew who these two people were planning to plot against.
Then a man's sharp, thin voice came from inside, "My princess, you are too polite. Just tell me what you want to say."
Qian Dai smiled and asked, "Is the bow and arrow set I asked you to prepare ready?"
Eunuch Zhang replied, "Young lady, tell the princess, I've got it done. I specially asked someone I know in the Ministry of War to modify it. No matter who pulls it, it'll cost half an arm."
Qian Dai then instructed, "Then, eunuch, please make no mistake. This bow is for the Fourth Young Master."
Su Shunci was shocked. They were planning to plot against the Fourth Young Master of the Li Family. Weren't they supposed to treat the Fourth Young Master of the Li Family the same as a legitimate son? Why was Princess Chaoyun plotting against her own brother without mercy?
But this is not surprising. Any wealthy family in Beijing is not what they seem.
Su Shunci listened to what was said inside and walked out carefully. Before Qiandai came out, he had already left the area near the archery field.
She returned to the side hall again, and Shen Yue was helping Song Wanwan wipe her arms with rice wine.
Su Shunci walked closer and asked worriedly, "How is Sister Wanwan? Is it working?"
Song Wanwan gave her a comforting smile, "After rubbing it, it won't be so itchy anymore."
Su Shunci finally felt relieved, and suddenly saw a basin of water beside her, in which the coral bracelet and a cotton towel were soaking.
"What's this for? Feeding poison to the cotton towel?"
Song Wanwan snorted coldly, "Give someone a taste of their own medicine. Since Su Xiangling likes this, let her have a taste of it too."
"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will still be in high spirits when he sees her face covered in rashes."
Song Wanwan had no intention of telling the Crown Prince about Su Xiangling's manipulation of the bracelet. She didn't want to be too involved with him. As for Su Xiangling, she had plenty of ways to deal with her.
Su Shunci became excited when she heard this. "That's a good idea. Let her face swell up like a pig's head."
Shen Yue helped Song Wanwan wipe her arms, and the servants helped her change her clothes.
Song Wanwan let the servants change her clothes and comb her hair, and then teased Su Shunci, "Where did you go just now?"
Su Shunci was thinking about Li Yunzhou at this time. Li Yunzhou had helped her mother last time and seemed to have a good relationship with the third young master of the Song family.
Just as Song Wanwan asked about it, Su Shunci started talking about it.
"I wasn't kidding. I saw the maids around Princess Chaoyun acting suspiciously, so I followed them. And I actually discovered something big. They were planning to do something bad."
When Shen Yue heard her mention Li Chaoyun, she asked casually, "What's wrong with her? Is she going to do something bad?"
Su Shunci began to explain, "Princess Chaoyun had the archery range improve a bow. It's said that anyone who uses that bow will lose half their arm."
"Qian Dai told that person that this bow is for the fourth young master of the Li family."
She asked Song Wanwan again, "Sister Wanwan, I think the Third Young Master has a good relationship with the Fourth Young Master Li. Should I tell him?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the teacup in Shen Yue's hand fell to the ground, making a crisp sound and splashing water everywhere.
Others didn't know what was going on, but she knew it in her heart. Li Yunzhou's arm couldn't withstand such a calculation. It would cripple half of a normal person's arm, but if it happened to Li Yunzhou, he would probably be crippled.
Shen Yue was extremely panicked for a moment. She couldn't let anything happen to Li Yunzhou.
Seeing Shen Yue like this, Su Shunci and Song Wanwan hurriedly asked her what was wrong.
Shen Yue calmed herself down and said, "I have to go tell Brother Yunzhou. I can't let him get hurt."
"But today, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who's posting, and we have to help him find a reason to get out."
There was an unconcealable panic on her face, the kind of worry that only close people would have.
Song Wanwan looked at Shen Yue's expression carefully, "Sister Yue, do you like Li Yunzhou?"
She always spoke directly, and since the Shen and Song families were good friends, the two of them were also familiar with each other.
Shen Yue did not hide it, "Yes, we are in love with each other. I will go find Brother Yunzhou first."
With that, she walked outside. She didn't dare delay even a moment when it came to matters that threatened lives.
Song Wanwan had already packed up by now, "Let's go together."
He also instructed the maid beside him to put the cotton handkerchief away.
Watching Shen Yue walk ahead, Song Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. If Third Master Shen hadn't given her final answer, her third brother and Shen Yue would have been engaged. Fortunately, they weren't, otherwise it would have been another confusing matter.
