Chapter 56: The Timing is Perfect
bove who are to blame, as the steward, you should not only stand idly by but also aid and abet them. That is simply unacceptable.But we can't just leave it at that. We have to say something now, afte...Chapter Fifty-Six
The time is just right...
Now I still have to be liked by women...
Alas... I don't know if your kind heart can withstand this blow...
I don't know what kind of bad luck you have, Murong Yue, such a smart woman, didn't even use words to get rid of you, she actually drugged you...
I also don't know if the medicine that Murong Yue gave you will have side effects, or whether it will affect your future happiness...
Chen Zixuan looked sympathetically at Rui Tianyu...
Poor Ruitian Yu still didn't understand what was happening...
Seeing Rui Tianyu immersed in his own world, Rui Tianling closed his eyes again...
This woman, Murong Yue, seems like she has to be eliminated. Though going against the Prime Minister will be a bit troublesome...
Ruitian Ling was carefully calculating in his mind...
"Master, it's late and the mist is heavy. It's best to return home early..." Huai Ping spoke from behind him.
Su Wenhao just drank a cup of wine and remained silent.
"Young Master, your clothes are still wet. The dry ones were given to Miss Chen. Huai Ping is afraid you'll catch a cold, Young Master. Perhaps we should return home sooner..." Huai Ping persuaded Su Wenhao earnestly from behind him.
"My lord, that person seems to be Young Master Su," Hua Sheng said, pointing to the man drinking by the moon by the river.
"Well... looking at the back, it seems so, haha. This King happens to want to drink today, looks like someone's keeping me company. Huasheng, come on, let's go over there." The Second Royal Lord rode his horse forward first.
"As you command, my lord."
Hearing the sound of hooves approaching from afar, Huiping tensed up. He felt the sword at his waist and stood on guard... When he saw who was coming, he naturally brushed off his clothes.
"Huai Ping, I pay my respects to the Second Lord."
"No need for ceremony, Watson. You and Huai Ping stay here and don't disturb the conversation between myself and Mr. Su." The Second Prince handed his horse to Watson and strode straight towards Su Wenhao.
"As you command," Watson led the two horses to the side of the tree and patted their heads, allowing them to graze.
"Brother Wenhao, why don't you ever invite me to drink" The Second Prince walked up behind Su Wenhao.
Seeing Su Wenhao did not look back at him, nor answer him, just drinking wine facing the moon, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Er Wangye walked to Su Wenhao's side and looked at him: "What's wrong, Brother Wenhao"
Su Wenhao raised his head and glanced at him, then patted the ground: "Sit, Second Royal Highness, have a drink with me."
Ruitianju sat beside Su Wenhao, took his wine cup and sipped it: "Brother Wenhao, you don't seem very happy. What happened"
Su Wenhao chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Just thinking about someone under the moon."
"Oh Brother Wenhao has such high standards, to have a girl who catches your eye is truly rare. I wonder when you'll introduce her to me..."
"Second Master, you're only teasing me. For you, a book is hard to come by, for me, a beautiful woman is hard to find." Su Wenhao poured another cup of wine for Second Master.
"Oh It's hard to find a good woman Then I'm even more curious. There's actually a lady who could stump you This girl must have a very deep background, right" Rui Tianqu took the wine cup and looked at Su Wenhao.
"Well, well, I don't know how much money she has, or even where she lives..."
"Didn't you investigate her"
"I want to investigate, but I'm afraid of hurting her feelings. I don't want her to think that I care about her family background..."
“With such a wealthy family, she wouldn't be accepted by your ancestors if she wasn't from a noble background…”
"Well, well..." Su Wenhao finished his drink in one gulp after hearing this.
"So, where is she now Perhaps you could tell her your feelings. Would you like my help with that"
She was in the Fifth Prince's Mansion...
"What She's at the Fifth Brother's mansion" Rui Tianzhu widened his eyes, looking at Su Wenhao in disbelief.
Su Wenhao nodded.
"Fifth brother isn't averse to women...how could she be with Fifth brother" Rui Tianqu frowned, "Are you sure it was Fifth brother and not Third brother"
"Alright. Today she was thrown into the river, but I saved her..." Su Wenhao stared blankly at the water and murmured, "I wonder how she is now... It's cold at night, and women are delicate. She must be in a difficult situation..."
Seeing Su Wenhao's expression, Rui Tianqu knew he was deeply in love. He sighed softly: "Since you saved her, how could she be at the Fifth Prince's Mansion She must repay you."
"She's going to save people, and I'm burdened by my identity, helpless... " Su Wenhao swallowed a gulp of wine, "She might still blame me..."
"Identity... heh heh, am I not one too"
“You are already a carefree prince, how can you talk about the burden of identity Don't compare yourself to me, a commoner.”
"As the Crown Prince, your duties are clear... You always know what I want, so why tease me and add to my worries"
"Haha, then Second Prince, why not drink this cup to the full"
"Alright, let's drink until we pass out! That's how you truly enjoy yourself!"
Ruitian Qi raised his cup and drained it in one go, then tipped the cup towards Su Wenhao...
"What's wrong with your master He looks downcast..." Hua Sheng and Huai Ping were sitting on the grass chatting.
"What else could happen I bumped into a girl the other day, thought about it for days, and today I ran into her here. She was thrown into the river, our young master saved her…"
Then she should marry him...
"No way, she's not here... She left with the Fifth Prince..."
"Fifth King!"
"Sigh, it's hard to explain... Oh right, how's your lord doing"
"How can he be so troubled... all for the sake of poems and verses..."
Both Huai Ping and Hua Sheng remained silent, staring silently at their master...
In the night, a group of men in black gathered at a corner...
A group of soldiers carrying torches approached from afar, with a carriage in the middle of their ranks...
The man in black, responsible for keeping watch, took out a bronze mirror and glanced at his companion...
...Immediately, other bronze mirrors responded....
“Wait!” the leader in black ordered.
The squad entered the corner, soldiers ahead had already emerged from it, those behind were still passing through, while the carriages were in the process of doing so...
The time is right...
"Kill!" the leader in black coldly spat out a word and raised a red flag.
Other men in black, receiving the order, leaped down from the rooftops and charged toward the carriage at incredible speed...
A shaft tipped with deadly poison was aimed steadily at the carriage...ck's worth of time. During this time, besides a maidservant who came to refill his tea, no one else even glanced at Su Wenhao sitting in the hall. Even the steward was nowhere to be found. You tell me...
