Chapter 329 - 329: Su Yingxue, Help!
After escaping to his residence, before he succumbed to exhaustion, he panted and gritted his teeth. “Su Yingxue, you…”
Just wait!
Su Yingxue was waiting for Saint Ruan at any moment, but she was certain that, for the time being, Saint Ruan wouldn’t dare to seek revenge on her!
He needed to take some time to recover and also be wary of Chu Yihan’s Shadow Guards.
As she had expected, even after he had cured himself, Saint Ruan didn’t dare to act recklessly.
“Su Yingxue, this little girl is too devious!”
He had been lured out using himself as bait, poisoned, and even had Chu Yihan’s Shadow Guards mobilized to go after him!
Saint Ruan thought back to his seventy years of age. This was the first time he had been teased like this, and the one doing it was a girl of merely fifteen or sixteen.
This was an enormous humiliation!
He was determined to use all his knowledge to develop a poison that would make Su Yingxue kneel and sing his praises!
However, before he could finish developing the poison…
The Silver Moon Pavilion summoned him.
Saint Ruan still wore his flamboyant red attire as he made his way over.
He and Hong Lian exchanged fiery words, but Hong Lian frowned every time she saw his belt. “You’re getting up there in years. Can’t you be a bit more dignified?”
Saint Ruan snorted in disdain. “You’re already so old. Aren’t you still single?” Mocking him?
Ha!
Hong Lian’s eyes darkened. She knew Saint Ruan had a sharp tongue, so she didn’t argue with him and issued her order, “The one you need to poison this time is her!”
She handed the token to Saint Ruan.
To be honest, if he hadn’t been brought under the Silver Moon Pavilion, he really wouldn’t have cared for Hong Lian.
She always acted so solemnly.
He took the token, and on it was written the name of the person he had to target. He rolled his eyes. “If I’m going to poison someone, it will be Su Yingxue. She’s the only one worthy of being my opponent. These kinds of people don’t deserve me to use poison on them.”
And he used such a cunning poison.
He wasn’t having any of it!
Hong Lian sat in the golden chair and raised her chin. “This is the Pavilion Master’s order!”
“Pavilion Master, he…”
Saint Ruan was filled with frustration. “I understand!”
He took the token and left.
Hong Lian watched his arrogant departure with a sinister look in her eyes. “Su Yingxue, I want to see just how capable you are!”
Su Yingxue waited for Saint Ruan for a few days, but he never came to cause trouble for her. The people around her also remained unpoisoned.
Life was peaceful and normal.
However, this kind of normalcy made her feel somewhat abnormal.
“Imperial Aunt! Aunt Su! Help! Help!”
Su Yingxue was sitting in the treatment room when Chu Jinling burst in. He was in such a hurry that he didn’t watch where he was going and bumped his head on the door frame, instantly reddening his nose.
“Ninth Prince, are you okay?”
Seeing this, Manager Qi quickly brought some ointment to help him.
They couldn’t afford to offend this favored prince!
Chu Jinling waved Manager Qi away. “I’m fine!”
He rushed over to Su Yingxue and pulled her up. “Imperial Aunt, come with me quickly to see Sisi! She’s on the brink of death. Help!”
“Sisi?”
Su Yingxue suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chu Jinling brought her to the General Manor.
Outside Lin Sisi’s room, Lin Aotian was shouting, “Are you all useless?!
Imperial physician… Why can’t you save my daughter? If she dies, I will take your lives!”
The imperial physician had always dealt only with medicine, and he couldn’t withstand Lin Aotian’s fury.
They trembled. “General Lin, please calm down. Miss Lin can’t be saved.. The poison is too potent!”
