Chapter 173 is important
"What are you doing at the Princess's residence? Didn't I warn you to be careful of her?" The man's voice was deep and questioning, but the worry in his eyes was undiminished.
Upon hearing this, Su Fuying suddenly remembered something and her heart tightened.
He reached up and scratched the back of his head, saying urgently, "Oh no! Quick, take me back."
At this time, the Princess's residence was attacked by assassins, and presumably the entire residence was under martial law.
If one wants to enter the Princess's residence quietly, probably only the person in front of me could do it.
Upon hearing Su Fuying's request, Lu Yanxiu slightly raised his eyelashes, his dark eyes staring straight at her, as if trying to discern something from her face.
He asked softly, "What are you going back for?"
Su Fuying answered without hesitation, "I heard that the Princess has the Cold Smoke Grass."
If she hadn't learned of this, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to devise this scheme.
The eldest princess's personality dictates that once she sets her sights on something, she will definitely try every means to get it.
Nowadays, the most popular skin cream in Beijing is Rouge Hall. This product can make people's skin smooth and delicate, and it also has a light fragrance.
When I first met the princess, I could tell that her skin was in excellent condition, not at all like that of a middle-aged person.
Therefore, the eldest princess must be someone who pays great attention to maintaining and caring for her appearance.
If such a miraculous skincare product really existed, she would definitely try it.
Unfortunately, it's not available on the market now.
However, the eldest princess was only curious about it at this time and would not forcibly plunder it.
After all, she had only recently returned to the capital, and her previous incident of riding a horse recklessly in the street and killing someone had already aroused strong dissatisfaction among the people. If something similar were to happen again, it would likely cause an even bigger uproar.
Therefore, the eldest princess should restrain herself somewhat.
At this time, those who wanted to curry favor with the princess would naturally try every means to send Rouge Hall's skin care cream to the princess's residence.
Once the princess has used it even once, she will become dependent on it and begin to collect such items frantically.
Since purchasing required queuing, and given the princess's personality, she absolutely could not tolerate the waiting time.
Furthermore, she would never tolerate others enjoying such a good thing.
Today, we finally have the opportunity to enter the Princess's residence and investigate to verify the authenticity of this Cold Smoke Grass.
She thought that the eldest princess wanted to bring her into the manor only to monopolize him and then kill him.
Unexpectedly, he took a fancy to her and wanted to take her back as his male concubine.
It seems that the princess's beauty secrets are not entirely based on products, but also on secret formulas.
"Ouch."
A soft sound came, and the man gently tapped her forehead with his index finger, pulling Su Fuying out of her thoughts.
"what?"
Su Fuying was somewhat displeased. She was only concerned about his life; otherwise, why would she have taken such a risk?
Looking at her puffed-up little face, the man's gaze fell on her lips, and the corners of his lips gradually curved into a slight smile.
"What are you laughing at?"
Su Fuying was somewhat puzzled, but then continued, "Quickly, I want to go back."
"You've always been quite clever, so why are you acting without thinking today?"
Seeing this, Lu Yanxiu stopped teasing her and casually walked to the table, sat down, and opened a secret letter to read it.
Su Fuying was taken aback by his words, but quickly realized what he meant and couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Who am I doing this for?"
The man paused in his flipping through the pages, a barely perceptible emotion flashing in his eyes.
"Do you know why news about a single herb would be spread?" The man asked, a half-smile playing on his lips as he looked at her.
"why?"
Su Fuying was suddenly stunned. Before she could think it through, she heard Lu Yanxiu continue:
"The gold and silver treasures in the Princess's treasury are extremely rare, so why is it that a single herb has become so widely known?" The man's eyes were deep, as if he could see through all the secrets.
"Furthermore, you should know that this cold smoke is not a rare thing. Ordinary people have no need for it. Who in the entire capital needs it?"
The man's eyes seemed to hold a hint of wisdom as he glanced over calmly.
The moment I met his gaze, something suddenly exploded in my head.
"Was it the Princess who poisoned you?" Su Fuying's eyes widened, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
At this moment, what was there not to understand? He had indeed panicked, which was why he hadn't thought of these things. After he explained it, everything became clear.
"Yes and no." Lu Yanxiu's ambiguous answer made Su Fuying know that he was unwilling to talk about this matter, so she did not press him further.
“But I went in as Fusu, and now he’s gone. And an assassin has just broken into the mansion. Wouldn’t that implicate others?”
Su Fuying's eyes revealed a hint of worry. It seemed that there was no need to enter the Princess's residence anymore. However, just as new people entered the residence, assassins entered, and then everyone disappeared.
It's obvious what's going on, and the innocent people will be the ones who suffer.
"He was just a male concubine. He died suddenly after inhaling an overdose of aphrodisiac in the room. Do you think she would still send people to rescue you in such a big way?"
He gave her a meaningful sidelong glance, deliberately emphasizing the words "male concubine."
Su Fuying was speechless. Who would have thought that this male concubine would be so persistent?
However, she never expected that Lu Yanxiu would arrange everything so well, not only successfully leading her to escape from the predicament, but even planning their escape route in advance.
However, given his methods, it's not unusual.
"Can your human skin mask really fool her?"
Upon hearing these doubtful words, Lu Yanxiu frowned and glanced at her with a hint of displeasure.
Su Fuying wisely shut her mouth, then, remembering that this person had disappeared without a trace during this time, she asked curiously, "Where did you go? I thought you went to find a good burial site."
I thought he was no longer in the capital, so I couldn't help but listen to the news about him a little longer.
"Ah."
"I will neither die nor leave."
The man's voice was calm and steady, his tone firm, and the unique aura and pressure emanating from him made it seem as if he were the master of this world.
"Why did you change your mind?"
Su Fuying was surprised that this person had suddenly changed his mind after not seeing him for a few days.
Upon hearing this, the man chuckled, put down what he was holding, and looked at her seriously.
"Because someone said something to me."
"What?"
Su Fuying asked subconsciously.
The man stood up, his tall figure standing out prominently in the candlelight.
What you say isn't important.
He strode forward, approaching Su Fuying step by step, his steps firm and powerful, each step like a drumbeat of destiny striking the ground.
A heavy sense of oppression washed over her, and looking at the exquisitely sculpted face before her, Su Fuying felt her heart race for a moment.
The man's low, husky voice rang in her ears, each word seemingly landing on Su Fuying's heart.
"The important thing is, if I can't even protect the woman I love, how dare I talk about the fate of the world?"
