He gave a sinister smile: "Miss Su Muke, do you think you can come and go as you please here? You have heard about our Third Prince's affairs. Do you think you can still get away with it?"
Su Luo turned to look at the Third Prince.
At this moment, the third prince was drinking tea slowly, seemingly indifferent to everything around him, but his attitude tacitly agreed with the steward.
Su Luo was already acting, and she was very happy to cooperate with the Third Prince. Now she had to continue acting.
Su Luo walked up to the Third Prince and glared at him angrily: "If I don't agree, then it won't work, right?!"
The Third Prince stared at Su Luo with a half-smile, and said threateningly: "Actually, you can give it a try."
Su Luo felt a chill on her neck. This Third Prince really knew how to kill to silence witnesses.
As expected, the Third Prince laughed and said, "If a girl from this small town on the outskirts of here dies, it probably won't cause any commotion, right? The Su family is even more eager for your death."
Su Luo: "...What does His Royal Highness the Third Prince want me to do?!"
The Third Prince: "It's very simple. Help me to be an insider and get a treasure."
Su Luo: "What treasure?"
The Third Prince smiled and said, "Of course it's a treasure that affects the fortune of the entire Su clan."
Su Luo: "Oh?"
The Third Prince said, "The Su Clan rose to power because of that thing. Later, Queen Su married my father and became the Empress because of that thing. So, if you can find that thing... I want the Su Clan's luck!"
Su Luo: "...What on earth is that?"
The Third Prince said, "A jade Buddha. Goddess Yanhua gave this jade Buddha to Queen Su. It has since been hidden deep within the Su clan, becoming the centerpiece of the formation within the Su clan's palace. All you need to do is inform me of its location. As for retrieving it, there's no need for you to take it, as it's impossible for you to obtain it."
Su Luo touched her chin and fell into deep thought.
Was it given to Empress Su by her adoptive mother? According to the information she had received, Empress Su and Emperor Xuanyuan were clearly in collusion, causing her adoptive mother and adoptive father to get into trouble and lose the country. And now, the thing that represents luck is in the hands of the Su family?
"So... I can only agree and can't refuse?" Su Luo acted helpless.
"It seems you're quite sensible, little girl. Don't worry, as long as you find out where the Jade Buddha is, this matter won't implicate you. Besides... I promise you that I'll take you to my palace in the future."
Su Luo: “…”
After the third prince left, Su Luo was about to return to the Su clan, but was pulled into the shadows by someone at the corner.
"Going to the Third Prince's residence, huh?"
This familiar voice...
"Leng Xiaoqi, why did you come out?" Su Luo shook off the Seventh Prince's hand and turned to face him with a puzzled look on her face. "Didn't you return to the imperial capital to practice cultivation in seclusion?"
Leng Qi snorted: "I'm so angry at you that I'm about to die. Why are you still repairing the chain?"
Su Luo chuckled. "Are you referring to the Third Prince? You actually still believe what he said? I was just cooperating with him."
Leng Qi: "Aren't you cooperating with me? Why are you still looking for him?"
Su Luo: "Wrong, he was the one who found me. What's more, I've already thought about it. I will cooperate with you in secret, and cooperate with him in the open. This way, even if he harms me, you can kill him like a mantis stalking a cicada. Isn't that great?"
