When Su Ruojin asked, Xiao Yanchu shook his head: "The other party was quite skilled, but they were far away, so we couldn't catch up."
Su Ruojin nodded. The other party must have been prepared, so it was expected that they couldn't catch up.
Who exactly is going to make a move?
Duke Dingguo?
Or perhaps there are enemies in the capital that he doesn't know about?
......
Dingguo Gongfu.
"Slap!" A loud slap rang out.
"You piece of trash! You were the one who said you could ruin Su Ruojin this way, but now you've caused me to lose three of my elite warriors!"
Her father had given her only ten bodyguards in total, and now three of them had been lost.
Wei Yingshuang slapped the woman next to her hard across the face, knocking her to the ground with blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.
If Su Ruojin were here, she would be astonished to see this woman's appearance.
She was none other than Lin Wanqing, who had fled to the capital to apply for Ruien Academy!
Lin Wanqing was knocked to the ground and dared not say anything. She knelt on the ground and cried, "Princess, this is not my fault. It was the Regent who saved her."
Wei Yingshuang turned around and swept all the teapot and teacups on the table onto the floor. The hot teapot accidentally fell into Lin Wanqing's hands.
The scalding hot water instantly turned her hands red, and Lin Wanqing could only grit her teeth and endure it, not daring to utter a sound.
She knew that the more she cried out, the harsher the punishment would be.
At this moment, a trace of regret arose in her heart. Why did she choose to follow Princess Fengxi in the first place?
But she had no other choice.
Wei Yingshuang's eyes turned red with anger: "That little bitch Su Ruojin actually seduced Brother Yanchu to save her! She deserves to die! She deserves to die! Lin Wanqing, you know how to use poison, go and poison that little bitch to death! This princess will reward you handsomely!"
Lin Wanqing dared not accept this. After so many things, she knew very well that in terms of medical skills, she was no match for Su Ruojin.
Speaking of poisoning, Lin Wanqing thought of how Su Ruojin poisoned more than ten guards of the Zhao family, and she asked herself if she could do it.
If she really dared to poison Su Ruojin, she might be the one who gets poisoned first.
Lin Wanqing's eyes flickered slightly, and an idea came to her. She quickly said:
“Princess, with the Regent protecting Su Ruojin, it is difficult for me to get close to her. I once heard my mother mention that Su Ruojin was once engaged. If we could bring her fiancé to the capital so that she could recognize him, the Regent would naturally know that she is nothing but a fickle woman.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Yingshuang's eyes lit up: "Is it true?"
Lin Wanqing nodded: "Of course it's true. The man she's engaged to is one of my distant cousins."
Wei Yingshuang's eyes darted around, and a smile appeared on her face as she helped Lin Wanqing up: "Sister Wanqing, I'll leave this matter to you. If you do a good job, this princess will definitely reward you handsomely."
Lin Wanqing quickly bowed and said, "Wanqing does not ask for any reward from the princess, but only hopes to relieve the princess's worries."
"Haha, very good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Princess Fengxi was very pleased.
Lin Wanqing returned to the room, and Cuiju brought up a cup of tea: "Miss, have some tea."
Lin Wanqing took the tea, took a sip, and then smashed the teacup on Cuiju: "It's so hot, are you trying to burn me to death?"
She vented all the anger she had suffered at Wei Yingshuang's hands on Cuiju.
Although Lin Wanqing stayed by Wei Yingshuang's side as her strategist, she knew very well that in Wei Yingshuang's eyes, she was nothing more than a dog.
Cuiju was caught off guard when a teacup hit her in the face, cutting her cheek and causing it to bleed.
Fortunately, she had cooled the tea beforehand, so it wasn't too hot; otherwise, she would have been disfigured if her face had been scalded and blistered.
