"Put everything down, and don't tell anyone else about this place, understand?"

"Um."

Su Yue left with a heavy heart, but she didn't expect to bump into the man in black before returning to the room.

"I was wondering why you came here out of nowhere again. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?" Su Yue closed the doors and windows tightly in fear. There was no way he could escape from this family.

"Have you been discovered by Rong Zhen?" The man in black looked at her pale face. He hadn't come to see her in the past few days, but her behavior was getting more and more strange.

"Of course, I'm a woman disguised as a man and one day I'll be exposed by everyone. Although the prince didn't blame me, he doesn't let me get involved in many things!" Su Yue said angrily, sat down at the table, took the teapot and drank it all. Thinking of this, she burst into bitter tears and couldn't help pouring out her grievances to him.

"Hey!" Su Yue was just saying this when the man in black handed over a black pill. Su Yue stared at the black pill with a puzzled look on her face, "What is this?"

"This is Patchouli. I know that Gu Yunru is going to rescue Shui Ruotong, and what I want you to do is to prevent Shui Ruotong from being revived by her."

"What!" Su Yue jumped up from her chair in shock. Isn't this asking her to harm a life? She would never do such a wicked thing.

"Hmm? Any questions?"

The man in black looked at her unusual reaction with a playful smile on his face. Su Yue stood up with a squeak, patted his chest and said, "But I am no match for them. You asked me to ask the princess not to save Miss Shui. How is that possible?"

Su Yue really couldn't figure out what the entanglement was between this man in black and Miss Shui.

"But can you tell me, do you have any deep hatred with Miss Shui? Or has she ever hurt your heart?" Su Yue was very curious about the identity of this black man. If she had to target Shui Ruotong, it would further prove what she thought in her heart, that these two people must have a love-hate past!

"You think too much. Shui Ruotong was one of my subordinates before, but she betrayed her master in order to be with Ji Heng, so I just let her pay the corresponding price."

The man in black spoke expressionlessly, his stern face made him look like a demon from hell, and no one dared to underestimate him.

"I see. But how many people do you have under your command? Why do you always appear next to me?"

Su Yue was curious about the identity of the man in black. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. As long as she found out the identity of this black man, perhaps she wouldn't have to worry so much.

"You don't need to worry about so much. I will give you freedom after the task is done." As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black turned away with his sleeves, like a gust of wind. No one could catch his shadow. He really came and went without a trace.

Su Yue looked at the black pill on the table with a lonely face. According to the man in black, as long as it was crushed, a poisonous gas would be released into the interior. This poisonous gas was colorless and odorless. If Gu Yunru really wanted to perform surgery on Shui Ruotong, then this would be the best time to release it.

In order to let Shui Ruotong be closer to Gu Yunru, Ji Heng brought her directly to the palace to live. When Rong Zhen learned that there were distinguished guests in the palace, he naturally asked his men to entertain them well and not let them neglect them.

Gu Yunru came to Shu'er's room to visit. He had already assured the servants that Ji Heng and Shui Ruotong would not be allowed to live in the mansion. He told Shu'er that anyone who dared to say anything would have their tongue pulled out. Everyone understood this tacitly and did not dare to mention these two people in front of Shu'er.

"Aunt Yunru, I want to go for a walk outside. My belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid I'll suffocate if I stay in the house all the time." Shu'er tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Such a big belly was very troublesome.

"Shu'er, listen to your aunt and stay in your room for the time being. Don't go anywhere. After enduring these seven months, you will be safe."

"What do I have to endure for seven months? Do I have to stay stuck in the house all the time and not be able to go anywhere during such a long time?" Shu'er said with a sad look in her eyes.

"Shu'er... don't blame your aunt. It's not that your aunt doesn't want you to go out, but you are pregnant now, so this matter must be kept secret." Gu Yunru calmed Shu'er down, trying to calm her down.

The scene changed, and Gu Yunru brought Shui Ruotong to live in the cellar. Two rooms were specially carved here, one for Ji Heng and one for Shui Ruotong, so that the two could take care of each other.

"You'll have the surgery in a few days. Are you afraid?" Gu Yunru looked at Shui Ruotong, who had a plain face. Even though she was not wearing any makeup, one could still see her natural beauty.

Shui Ruotong raised the corner of her lips and said, "I believe in the princess's craftsmanship, and since Ruotong has entrusted her life to you, she will not be panicked. Princess, don't feel too much pressure."

Ji Heng came forward, bought her favorite pear blossom cake, and put it on the table. "Yes, Ruotong and I have already decided that no matter whether the operation fails or succeeds, we will not blame the princess for this matter. The princess is willing to agree to continue Ji Heng, and Ji Heng is already grateful."

He looked at Gu Yunru with gratitude and had already treated her as his savior. Gu Yunru looked at the two of them with relief. As the day of the operation was approaching, she asked several maids and guards to guard the door.

The cellar needed to be quiet, so a lot of disinfectant was sprayed here to ensure that there would be no mistakes during the operation. After giving Shui Ruotong anesthesia, he let her lie on the stone wall, took off her clothes, and started to cut her heart with a sharp scalpel.

Ji Heng had been standing guard at the door, feeling uneasy. At this moment, Su Yue sneaked in, pretending to hand Gu Yunru a dry towel and a basin of water, and stepped on the pill under her feet, so that the poison gas could be released. Thinking of the explanation given by the man in black, Su Yue lowered her head and left quickly.

"Ah!" Gu Yunru suddenly felt her nose itchy, as if something inexplicable was flowing into the tip of her nose, but the surroundings seemed very cold and the temperature was very low. There were no bacteria or dust flying in.
