Chapter Seventy-Six: The Boastful Consort Shu
ze skirt with multiple pleats, leaned against the door frame, her hands resting on her cheeks as she watched the ripples dancing on the lake's surface, muttering to herself, "It's really raining heavi..."Just as the white-haired old man was about to leave, his foot slipped, and he fell ungracefully to the ground. He got up and quickly darted in front of her, staring at her with disbelief, his long eyebrows trembling! "
"What You're selling it! Girl, this is a coral bead! A coral bead! Do you understand what that means It's not just any ordinary bead! You're just going to sell it like that!"
Su Qingying was so startled by the white-haired old man's roar that her eardrums almost burst. She rubbed her aching ears and calmly said, "Old sir, why are you yelling Just because I know it's the Coral Bead..."
"Be careful!" Su Qingying's words were cut short, her waist tightened suddenly, Jun Lye hugged her tightly and leaped back several meters with Xi'er. Just where they had been standing, several poisoned arrows stuck straight into the ground.
Seeing Su Qingying dodge the poisoned arrow, dozens of men in black sprang from the restaurant, each with a cold killing intent on their faces, clearly coming for Su Qingying.
"Damn, am I so hated Here they come again to kill me!" So many assassins appeared, the people in the tavern had long since fled in all directions. Su Qingying glared at the assassins in front of her, her eyes also turning cold.
“Humph, looking for death!” Jun Li Ye’s sword eyebrows furrowed, about to make a move, Su Qing Ying quickly stopped him. “Jun Li Ye, don’t forget you can’t use your internal energy! I’m not that useless, a few assassins are more than enough for me to handle.”
With a turn, she gracefully slipped out of Jun Li Ye's embrace, her figure like a ghost flitting into the encirclement of the black-clad men. She moved effortlessly between them, swiftly dispatching several in just a few seconds.
Just then, another group of black-clad men expertly leaped onto the building and joined Su Qingying's fight.
They exuded an aura of lethal intent and possessed remarkable skill, their killing methods eerily similar to Su Qingying's.
Su Qingying frowned. She had originally thought they were reinforcements, but unexpectedly, these black-clad men drew their swords and attacked the moment they arrived!
It's not just Su Qingying who is confused, the black-clad assassins are also a bunch of frustrated people. Where did this Cheng Yaojin come from
Su Qingying retreated to Jun Liye's side. She could feel that these people had no ill intentions towards her, and even a faint sense of familiarity, but she just couldn't remember who they were exactly.
She nudged Jun Li Ye with her elbow and asked, "Hey, is this your person"
"No." Jun Li's eyes flashed a hint of something different, mixed with three parts confusion.
As someone had blocked the assassins for them, Jun Liye took advantage of the chaos to bring them back to Liu Yun Palace. They were busy all day long, and Su Qingying lay on the bed like a large character, too tired even to move her fingers.
Recalling the assassination attempt tonight, Su Qingying's eyes flashed with a gleam. As in previous times, it was that special scent again. This time, the assassin was clearly from the same group as the one who poisoned her last time!
However, who were those people who arrived at the restaurant last They seemed to be there to help her. Could it be the Crown Prince But that doesn't seem right!
Never mind, never mind. I don't want to think about it anymore. If I keep thinking about her, my brain cells will die! Whatever, as long as she doesn't come to borrow money.
Fidgeting with her hair restlessly, Su Qingying decided to get a good night's sleep.
One night without dreams, the next day, the golden sunlight streamed through the window panes, bringing warmth to the room.
Today Su Qingying got up surprisingly early. These past few days had been so comfortable that she almost neglected her skills.
From yesterday's fight, she clearly felt that her skills had deteriorated significantly and that she was much slower.
So she secretly made up her mind, she absolutely couldn't fall this far anymore, if she didn't train hard, she was afraid she would be ruined!
After a simple breakfast, Su Qingying tied the wide sleeves of her robe with ribbons on both sides and began her morning run around the palace starting from Liuyun Palace.
In the distance, a noble lady dressed in a pink peony gown, her silk trailing behind her, walked towards them with several maids. Su Qingying simply ran past her, completely ignoring her presence.
“Presumptuous! Why don't you kneel when you see this Palace” He Lian Qing’er pressed her brows together, stopping Su Qingying. Especially after seeing her stunning beauty, her eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, “What is that disguise It's simply vulgar and indecent!”
Su Qingying stopped and turned to look at Helian Qinger, who was striding towards her with an imposing air.
She was obviously well-dressed and accompanied by many palace maids, so she must be someone of importance. Unfortunately, she seemed to lack intelligence despite her outward appearance.
She crossed her arms lightly, raising an eyebrow and asking, "Well, may I ask who you are"
"Even our esteemed Imperial Consort doesn't know about this, how dare you!" A palace maid by Helian Qing'er's side shouted loudly, wearing an air of arrogance.
"I know Sofi sanitary napkins, but who is Concubine Shu I don't recognize her! Good dogs don't block the way, please make way, I still need to jog!" The corner of her mouth twitched, Su Qingying didn't take them seriously.
Upon hearing this, Helan Qing'er was furious. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him. Who dared to treat her with such disrespect
"You! You dare call this palace a dog! And dare call this palace an onion!"
Su Qingying innocently shrugged, "I didn't name names. Why do you need to take it personally I've seen stupid people, but never someone this brainless."
With her quick tongue, ten Helin Qingers wouldn't be Su Qingying's match. The latter was so enraged that her whole body trembled. "Presumptuous! Come here, bring this vile maid to me!"
"I'll see who dares to lay a hand on me! You, a mere noble consort, have no authority to dispose of a princess!" Her eyes turned cold, and Su Qingying's sharp gaze intimidated the palace maids who had come forward to grab her. They took several steps back, especially after hearing that she was still a princess. Their faces paled instantly. Su Qingying felt a surge of satisfaction. For the first time, she found this identity so convenient.
Helian Qing'er raised an eyebrow, "Which country's princess are you"
“Even I, the princess, haven't heard of it. You must be out of touch! I am Su Qingying, the beloved fifth princess of Dongyue Kingdom—a beauty as stunning as flowers blooming and admired by all.” Rolling her eyes, Su Qingying swaggered with a leg bounce and continued to act cool.
To everyone's surprise, He Lian Qing'er not only wasn't intimidated, but raised her voice instead. Su Qingying's eyes practically burned with the desire to reduce her to ashes right then and there!
"Su Qingying The foolish princess who charmed the emperor You truly have a fox-like face, no wonder the emperor was captivated by you. This palace just wanted to find you, and you came right to me!"
“Eh…” Su Qingying was dumbfounded, and then she had a bad feeling all over. Thinking of the beautiful scene where she seduced Xuan Yuan Locen, goosebumps all over her body stood up. She couldn’t hold back at all, “Which eye did you see me seduce Xuan Yuan Locen We are very pure, okay! With three thousand beauties in the harem, he is probably as sharp as a needle if he were to grind an iron rod!”
"Silence! How dare you slander the Emperor!" Helin Qing'er was utterly dumbfounded.embered to visit Dongyue to find out the truth, and it really was her!"You haven't answered me yet, how did you cross over" Su Qingying smiled with crescent eyes, like stars falling into them, bright...
