Chapter 413: The Person Behind Su Yurou
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Yurou returned to Sunset Court and secluded herself, not even summoning Yuan Ruo to attend to her.
She wasn’t surprised by Wu Dao’s sudden appearance in the room. She walked forward with red eyes and asked, “When can 1 avenge my mother? When can I kill Su Yingxue?”
“I will provide you with an opportunity,” Wu Dao replied briefly, extending his hand to her. “What I desire, you should give.”
With a sense of fear, Su Yurou reluctantly reached out her hand. Due to excessive blood loss, her skin revealed veins and blood vessels, a ghastly sight.
However, when she thought of her mother’s tragic death, she could only watch helplessly as Su Yingxue ordered people to carry her mother’s lifeless body out!
There was nothing she could do.
After the agony, she collapsed by the bedside, dazed and weakened. In her vulnerability, she harbored an intense hatred. “Su Yingxue, 1 will make you pay!”
Since the previous day, Su Yingxue had instructed Zhilan to keep Su Yurou under watch, forbidding her from going out or having contact with anyone. She also had to monitor the activities in her courtyard.
She visited Qinghe Palace more often, and Aunt Jing Fang developed a favorable impression of her.
Once, Aunt Jing Fang inquired about why Su Yurou hadn’t returned. Su Yingxue smiled without a word, her expression stern. Jing Fang apologized and refrained from further questions.
Despite Su Yurou being Su Yingxue’s younger sister, Su Yingxue was the designated female envoy responsible for receiving female members of the envoys. Others shouldn’t interfere.
Originally, envoys from various countries were scheduled to enter Jiang Du City five days later, but one or two deviated from the rules.
On this day, before Su Yingxue arrived at Qinghe Palace, Aunt Jing Fang sent someone to inform her that the Princess of Qi State had arrived and urged her to go quickly.
When Su Yingxue met Aunt Jing Fang in the palace, she naturally asked, “Why did the Princess of Qi State arrive today? Wasn’t there a plan to welcome her outside the city before entering the palace?”
Aunt Jing Fang’s expression turned serious. “This Princess of Qi State isn’t easy to get along with. She’s only twenty years old, but her power in Qi State is already formidable. The King of Qi State honors her as the Eldest Princess. Not only is she feared by everyone in Qi State, but even in political matters, the King of Qi State consults her before making decisions. Dealing with such a powerful woman might prove difficult.”
As the one overseeing Qinghe Palace, Aunt Jing Fang was naturally ordered to gather information about the envoys.
To maintain discretion, Su Yingxue listened quietly.
However, the information she gathered suggested that this Princess of Qi State possessed capabilities far beyond the ordinary. Talented in both literature and martial arts, proficient in riding and archery, and possessing extraordinary medical skills, she was the foremost person in the Qi State. The King of Qi probably didn’t expect that despite having many sons, they couldn’t match the capabilities of his daughter.
This woman was truly outstanding.
When Su Yingxue and Aunt Jing Fang went to pay their respects to the Princess of Qi State, she had already settled in the opulent Perching Phoenix Palace. Two maidservants with extraordinary auras, one named Yun Dan and the other Feng Qing, stood guard outside her palace.
When Su Yingxue and Aunt Jing Fang arrived, the maidservant named Feng Qing said indifferently, “The princess is tired from the long journey and is currently resting. Please wait for two hours before paying your respects.”
Aunt Jing Fang, being a servant, didn’t mind. Glancing at Su Yingxue, she suggested, “Miss Su, why not rest first and come back in two hours? 1 will wait here.”
Su Yingxue remained silent. Originally not planning to leave, waiting for two hours was inconsequential. She could use this time to read her mother’s letter in Medicine King’s Valley..
