"Yes, tomorrow as long as he gets his blood mixed with that of any princess, I can use my secret technique to tell the difference."
"If the Red Jade Bead hadn't been lost, we wouldn't have gone through all this trouble. Now that we've confirmed it, cousin, what should we do?" Empress Dowager Wu asked.
“Regardless of which one of them is the Second Prince, they are both Su Ruojin’s younger brother. They are still in Xiaoyue, so we can only be patient for now. Once they leave Xiaoyue, that little bastard will be at our disposal.” Gao Hongyuan’s eyes were sinister.
"Cousin, I'm afraid those old fogies in the court will get restless when they see that little bastard is back," Empress Dowager Wu said with some concern.
"Don't be afraid. The Imperial Guards, Black Armor Army, and City Guard's military seals are all in our hands. They can't cause any trouble. If Rou'er is still worried, she can write to General Wu and ask him to send another five thousand elite troops to protect Zhuo'er. Once that little bastard is dealt with, Zhuo'er can rest easy."
General Wu, as the Empress Dowager's elder brother, held military power in many places, including Yuelan City, which was closest to Longxiao City.
It would only take a day or two to travel from Yuelan City to Longxiao City. If the army set off overnight, they would be able to reach Longxiao City very quickly.
"Alright, I'll go and send word right away, asking my brother to send troops over immediately." Empress Dowager Wu nodded repeatedly.
With my brother's five thousand elite soldiers, plus the Imperial Guards, Black Armored Army, and City Guards in the city, there's nothing to fear.
Everything will have to wait until tomorrow.
If Su Ruojin and the others behave themselves and don't interfere with Xiaoyue's affairs tomorrow, then there's no problem. Otherwise, don't blame her for being impolite.
As long as Zhuo'er's throne can be preserved, what does it matter if we become enemies with the Great Chu?
Su Ruojin couldn't fall asleep while lying in bed, so she picked up a book on Gu techniques and leaned against the headboard to read it. Xiao Yanchu was also handling some relatively important matters sent by Shen Yu.
During his absence, the mother and son did not cause any trouble, and with the old ministers in the court keeping an eye on things, everything in the Great Chu was relatively stable.
Suddenly, Su Ruojin sat up and called out, "Hu Qing."
Hu Qing hurriedly pushed open the door and entered. "Your Highness, what are your orders?"
Xiao Yanchu also put down his pen and looked at Su Ruojin with some confusion.
"Go, get some raw chicken, mix it with black dog blood, cut the chicken into small pieces, and also get a small dog or a small cat, either will do," Su Ruojin quickly instructed.
"Yes!" Hu Qing didn't ask any more questions and left to carry out the order.
"Ah Jin, what's wrong?" Xiao Yanchu got up and walked to Su Ruojin's side.
Su Ruojin stood up, and Xiao Yanchu quickly took her coat and draped it over her shoulders.
"I just have some doubts, we'll find out once we try." Su Ruojin didn't offer much explanation.
It wasn't a difficult task at all. Hu Qing quickly brought a small bowl of chicken mixed with black dog blood and a calico kitten into the house.
Hearing the commotion in the princess's room, Yanluo feared that Su Ruojin might need something, so she rushed over as well.
Then Su Ruojin took out silver needles and pricked the kitten a few times, and the kitten fell into a deep sleep.
She then opened the box containing Ling Zilan, picked up a small piece of chicken with her chopsticks, slowly circled the chicken around Ling Zilan, and gently placed it on the kitten. She then gestured for Yanluo to extinguish a few candles, dimming the light in the room.
Everyone knew there was something wrong with the Spirit Purple Orchid after Su Ruojin's series of actions, and they all held their breath and stared intently at it.
An incense stick's time passed, and Ling Zilan remained silent.
Su Ruojin was a little confused. Could it be that she had misjudged the situation and there was nothing wrong with the flowers that Gao Hongyuan had sent?
