Su Ruanruan's soft voice, like heavenly music, entered the man's ears. She continued, "It was a mistake for you and me to spend one night together, and it's even more of a mistake to want more."
"Has no one ever told you that the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is?"
Su Ruanruan stretched out her slender, white fingers, as delicate as scallions, and gently stroked the face of the man in front of her. A hint of regret appeared in her eyes. "After being with me for so long, if I kill you, there will be no one to comfort my lonely heart in the long nights."
"What exactly did you do to me?" No matter how the man struggled, it was useless; he couldn't muster even the slightest strength.
Upon seeing this, Su Ruanruan let out a melodious laugh, "Why bother with all this? All you need to know is that today is your death day. Why not take a good look at the scenery around you? Are you satisfied to die here?"
As she spoke, she held a gleaming, incredibly sharp dagger, occasionally brandishing it. Her fingertips lightly caressed the blade, and instantly, several bright red beads of blood rolled down the wound.
Then, Su Ruanruan gently wiped her lips with her still-bleeding fingers, and her lips instantly turned scarlet red, like a blood-sucking ghost.
The man stared blankly at the scene before him, "It's as if I've never known the real you..."
Su Ruanruan looked at him, "But I've seen through you. I'm certain you were never Chu Ran's person." Her voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to strike the other person's heart with a heavy weight.
The man paused slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "How did you know?"
Su Ruanruan smiled gently, "I told you, you shouldn't have appeared by my hot spring pool that day when I was under the influence of the love potion."
"The person you came into contact with carried a spice that, when touched by water, changed its flavor."
"That person was none other than the chief eunuch beside the emperor."
"Perhaps it was just a coincidence once, but these past few days you've sneaked into my residence and been intimate with me, which makes me even more certain that you are the Emperor's man!"
Su Ruanruan said slowly, "You don't need to look at me like that. I know far more than you can imagine."
"Since you are the Emperor's man, and you were infiltrated into the Prince of Zhennan's residence, you would naturally have discovered that the Prince of Zhennan and Consort De were having an affair?"
The dark-faced man stared at Su Ruanruan in shock. "How did you know?"
“I not only know that they are having an affair, but I also know that Prince Rui is not a dragon’s offspring at all.”
From the palace banquet at the end of the year, Su Ruanruan noticed an astonishing secret.
At that time, she noticed that Consort De and Emperor Shun both had single eyelids, but Prince Rui had double eyelids.
However, there is still a chance that single-eyelid parents will have a double-eyelid child. But this alone is not enough to prove anything, so she decided to continue to observe other details.
Thus, Su Ruanruan keenly noticed some subtle details. She discovered that Consort De's gaze would often involuntarily drift towards Prince Zhennan.
Amidst the noise and laughter of the banquet, no one else seemed to notice this.
What's even stranger is that the Prince of Zhennan ignored Consort De's attention and instead kept his gaze lingering on Princess Jingyi.
Moreover, Su Ruanruan noticed that several of the small gestures of the Prince of Zhennan during the banquet were surprisingly similar to those of the Prince of Rui, who was sitting above him.
These clues aroused Su Ruanruan's suspicions. So, in order to confirm her bold and astonishing guess, after the space opened, she bribed the janitor in the restaurant and successfully took away the teacup that the Prince of Zhennan had once used.
Then, she bribed a maid in Prince Rui's mansion to obtain the hair that Prince Rui dropped while combing his hair.
After rigorous testing and comparison, it was confirmed that they were related by blood; the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Rui were indeed father and son!
"What? Prince Rui isn't a prince? How did you know?" The dark-faced god looked at the beautiful Su Ruanruan in front of him with a stern expression.
How did she know so much?
In fact, Emperor Shun had always known about the affair between Consort De and the Prince of Zhennan.
But the Black-Faced God didn't know when their affair began. After all, he was only twelve years old when he was brought into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to get close to Chu Ran.
He was naturally unaware of what had happened before that.
Given Emperor Shun's suspicious nature, regardless of whether Prince Rui was his son or not, he would still harbor a thorn in his side. He would spare his life, but he would never entrust the throne of Emperor Shun to someone whose bloodline might not be pure.
Su Ruanruan slowly squatted down in front of him. "With you as my eyes and ears lurking here, no matter how small the movement is in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, it will probably be difficult to escape Emperor Shun's eyes and control."
She paused, then continued, "Emperor Shun knew long ago that the real culprit behind the mine was the Prince of Zhennan's mansion!"
