After Qin Wang drank more than ten cups of wine, he pointed at everyone present and said, "You, you, you, you... all of you, get out of here!"
The young women glanced at Yunniang, and seeing Yunniang nod slightly, they bowed and took their leave. The guards who had come to the king's aid also withdrew.
After everyone had left, Yunniang walked with a smile to Qin Wang, who was slumped over the table, and gently called out, "My lord, you've had too much to drink. Let me help you to bed to rest."
Seeing that Qin Wang did not react, Yun Niang bent down to help him up, but her hand was suddenly grabbed.
The loyalist raised his head, his eyes clear and bright, the previous confusion gone.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yunniang's eyes, then she said coquettishly, "Master, you're hurting me."
"The drug you put in my drink won't work on me. I've heard that the Dark Alliance can do anything for the right price. I can make someone unable to walk for at least three months within five days. I wonder if the Dark Alliance dares to take on that task?"
After Qin Wang finished speaking, he released Yun Niang's hand and looked at her coldly.
So, the loyalist was actually after the Dark Alliance.
Seeing this, Yunniang also put away her smile and sat down opposite the Prince Qin. "Whom does Your Excellency wish to be injured?"
"Su Wenzhou, one thousand taels of gold," Qin Wang said directly.
Yunniang laughed, "You must be joking, sir. You think you can hurt General Pingnan of Great Chu with just a thousand taels of gold?"
How many do you want?
"Five thousand taels of gold," Yunniang quoted directly.
"Alright!" Qin Wang didn't hesitate.
"Since you have found me, you must understand the rules of the Dark Alliance: half the deposit."
Qin Wang took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the table.
Yunniang took the silver note, glanced at it, confirmed the amount, and smiled, "Master is so generous. Since the matter is settled, Yunniang won't see you off."
After Qin Wang left, Yunniang returned to her room and sent out the message.
After receiving the news, Su Ruojin was somewhat puzzled. She could understand whether the king wanted to kill her third brother or simply cripple his legs.
After all, Bei Li had suffered a lot at the hands of Third Brother, so why was it only to prevent Third Brother from getting out of bed for three months, and for five days at that?
Is there anything she doesn't know?
"Miss, what should we do now?" Yanluo asked worriedly.
"Tell Yunniang that I will take care of this matter."
"yes."
It's just that Third Brother can't walk for three months. This is a trivial matter for Su Ruojin.
To convince the loyalist king, things had to be done in a more genuine way.
Three days later, news spread throughout the capital that General Pingnan had fallen off his horse and injured his leg while hunting.
All the imperial physicians in the capital came to the Su residence to treat him. Although Su Wenzhou's feet were not broken, they were swollen to the size of small buckets, and his meridians were severely damaged. It would take three to five months for him to recover.
The regent summoned Physician Mu from his palace to treat the patient, but the result was the same.
When Mrs. Su saw her son's leg in such a state, she couldn't help but cry.
Su Wenzhou comforted her, "Mother, the imperial physician said I'll be fine in three to five months, so don't worry."
Su Ruojin also comforted him from the side, "Mother, Third Brother's leg is fine. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. He'll be fine after a hundred days."
Xiao Yanchu, who had rushed to the Su residence, looked at all this thoughtfully, a fact noticed by Su Ruojin.
When Su Ruojin saw Xiao Yanchu off at the mansion, she asked, "Did you discover anything?"
Xiao Yanchu didn't mince words and gave the answer directly.
