up lying here, needless to say, it was the handiwork of her fiancé! He lured her away from the post station, not only drugged her with a sleeping potion but also knocked her unconscious before tossing...The feeling of dizziness came quickly and went quickly. Su Qingying shook her head slightly, not caring much, and said, "It's nothing, maybe it's a bit stuffy here."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, from across the table, Ji Yan'er’s voice, full of concern, came over anxiously, “Oh! What’s wrong with Fifth Princess Are you feeling unwell anywhere”

Su Qingying remained silent, lifting her head to look directly at Ji Yan'er. Her eyes, as bright and clear as obsidian, held a scrutinizing gleam, intensely probing, as if she sought to pierce through Ji Yan'er's very thoughts.

This woman is paying way too much attention to her, isn't she

Ji Yan'er was startled by her gaze, her hands under her sleeves clenching nervously, and a cold sweat silently slid down the corner of her forehead.

Her eyes were too sharp, like a wild beast eyeing its prey, making her unable to move. She felt an inexplicable pressure that made it hard to breathe.

"Quickly! Summon the imperial physician!" Just as Ji Yan'er was about to be frightened by Su Qingying's sharp gaze, Su Chengming's voice rang out in surprise and anger. Without a word, he immediately ordered someone to find the imperial physician. His demeanor seemed as if Su Qingying had contracted a terminal illness.

“……”Su Qingying was speechless, she propped her forehead. For such a small matter to call the imperial physician, her father emperor treated her as a porcelain doll, didn't he She wasn't that fragile! However, after being speechless, a warm feeling filled her heart, "Father emperor, there's no need to call the imperial physician. I just feel a little dizzy, it's nothing serious. I'm not that weak, I'll be fine after a while."

Upon hearing this, Su Chengming furrowed his brows and remained silent. However, a heavy worry was evident in his intelligent eyes, almost spilling over. Seeing this, Ji Yan'er hurriedly said, "This can't be done, Your Majesty. The Fifth Princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. Even the top spot at this Hundred Flowers Meeting has already been decided. It's best to let her rest in the side hall for a while."

"The beauty has good intentions." Seeing Ji Yan'er so concerned about Su Qingying, Su Chengming couldn't help but smile. "Ying'er, why don't you go to the side hall to rest If something happens to your body in the future, your father won't be lenient with you."

"Sigh, well then, I'll take my leave first." Looking at Su Chengming's determined expression that he wouldn't stop until she left to rest, Su Qingying was helpless. She could only lead Xi'er away from the banquet.

Strolling along the pebble path in Yu Garden, Su Qingying couldn't help but press her forehead again. The dizzy feeling from before surged back, "Ugh…"

"Princess, are you alright" Xier rushed forward to support her, her big eyes flickering with worry.

"It's fine, let's go." Su Qingying soothed, gently patting her hand. Thinking of the cup of wine Ji Yan'er had just offered her, a cold glint flashed across her phoenix eyes.

Ji Yan'er……

Although Su Qingying reassured Xi'er that she was fine, Xi'er still couldn't rest assured. She insisted on supporting her to the side hall for a rest, passing through the Imperial Garden and just happened to bump into Jiang Bebe who had left the banquet.

"Huh Isn't that Su Qingying I didn't expect her to actually be the silly princess! "

She had originally come out to use the restroom and was just about to return to the banquet when she saw the last person she wanted to see. Remembering how Su Qingying and the other had humiliated her at the restaurant, Jiang Beibi was furious.

"Hmph, last time you made me lose so badly, I absolutely won't let you off easily! I want to see where you're going!" A sinister look flashed across Jiang Bebe's pretty face. She looked around and saw that no one was there, so she secretly followed Su Qingying and the other person.

"Huh" As they journeyed to the side hall, Xi'er was just about to step forward and open the door for Su Qingying when Su Qingying suddenly stiffened, silently stopping Xi'er.

Yu'er was confused and opened her mouth, "Gong..."

"Shh!" Su Qingying raised a finger to her lips, signaling her to be quiet, but her expression was cold and stern.

Grasping Xiuer's arm, Su Qingying effortlessly lifted her onto the rooftop.

Xi'er held onto her hand tightly. Seeing her rarely display such an expression, Xi'er's heart skipped a beat. "What's wrong, Your Highness"

"Someone is in my side hall!" Su Qingying stated with absolute certainty, a chilling glint flashing in her eyes.

"Oh! What shall we do then" Xi'er understood the meaning perfectly, her heart filled with panic.

"Heh heh, what do you think" She crouched down and lifted a tile from the roof, revealing a cryptic smile to Xi'er. Her stunningly beautiful face was blooming with a picture-perfect smile, yet Xi'er inexplicably felt a shiver run down her spine.

Of course, how could she forget The princess now was no longer the princess of old. She had always been the one calculating others; who would ever dare to calculate her

Understanding this, Xi'er wasn't worried anymore. She simply imitated the princess's actions and squatted down, asking in a hushed voice, "Princess, what did you spill"

“Ultimate version of Huachun Powder, hmph, daring to set his sights on me, Su Qingying. Today, I’ll let him know why flowers are so red!” This powder was her ultimate improvement, colorless and odorless. Just inhaling a little bit in the air would make someone instantly experience extreme desire. Moreover, once the effect wears off, there wouldn't be a single trace left behind, leaving no clue whatsoever.

Humph, wants to make a move on her Then she'll let those who are not afraid of death know what it means to reap what they sow!

"Come, Xi'er, let's go back to the feast. There will be a good show soon." After finishing everything, Su Qingying gently put the tile back in place and pulled Xi'er away, already suspecting someone in her heart.

On the other side, Su Qingying had just left with Xi'er when Jiang Bebe, who had been following them, arrived at the side hall.

"Strange Where did that bitch Su Qingying go I saw her here just now. Did she go inside" Jiang Beibi's face twisted into a cruel smile, and the dagger in her hand reflected the cold gleam of the blade. "Humph, that just makes things easier for me. Su Qingying, you're going to die!"

"Creak—" Thinking to herself, Jiang Beibei gently pushed open the side hall door of Su Qingying.

The hall was dark, pitch black inside. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face. After shutting the door, it became even more terrifyingly dark.

Jiang Beibei was about to take advantage of Su Qingying in the dark, when suddenly, a figure pounced on her unexpectedly in the darkness...

Two blossoms open, each representing one branch.

A banquet.

Su Qingying and Xi'er went back and forth, calmly returning to their seats under everyone's gaze. Su Chengming was puzzled and said, "Ying'er Why did you come back Didn't I tell you to go to the side hall to rest"

“Just now there was a gust of wind, and I feel much better. It’s nothing major. As the daughter of Dong Yue, I am not so precious. Besides, this is my first time participating in the Hundred Flowers Meeting with Father. I really don't want to leave just like that. Father, you won't blame me for being disobedient, right” Su Qingying playfully blinked her big eyes, her peripheral vision subtly glancing towards Ji Yan’er across from her.d let out a dry laugh, her desire to survive extremely strong. "Ahem, back then, I was just being mouthy, that's why I made this ridiculous joke. Don't take it seriously, please just forget about it."...
