Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That night, Su Yingxue didn’t sleep well either. She tossed and turned, her mind occupied with thoughts of her mother, the empress of Yue Kingdom, and the connection with Princess Sheng Ping.
The medical books left by her mother and the empress of the Yue Kingdom, the patterns that could be pieced together, and the empress’s close friend. Could that be her mother?
Was her mother from the Yue Kingdom?
She only knew her mother was Princess Shu Li, but nobody knew where she came from or her true identity.
Therefore, her mother’s death remained a locked mystery.
If she could uncover her mother’s background, it would bring solace to her mother’s soul.
Unable to contain herself, she got out of bed and headed to the Princess’s Manor.
She remembered Liang Jin’s words and wanted to enter through the main entrance.
However, the main entrance was guarded, and even the side entrance had two palace guards.
Su Yingxue pinched the cold jade on her chest and wanted to take it in. However, before she reached the door, a figure walked out from inside.
The man was dressed in a silver robe. He had a cool back view and carried a fragrance with him.
Su Yingxue caught a whiff from a distance. It was the scent of Sheng Ping’s clothes.
Recalling Sheng Ping’s numerous miscarriages, her heart skipped a beat, “Oh no!”
As she rushed in, Sheng Ping’s room was filled with sorrowful crying.
Sheng Ping lay amid disheveled clothing, her body bearing marks of torment inflicted by a man. Lian’er sobbed heavily, “He’s too heartless! Despite knowing you had just miscarried, he treated you like this!”
How would you face the days ahead? “Princess, we must find Your Highness and plead for his help!”
Sheng Ping pulled the impulsive Lian’er, breathing heavily, “No! Do you want Your Highness to see me like this?”
“But… apart from Your Highness, no one can help you! That person is a prince!”
Lian’er’s heart ached for Sheng Ping. A figure crossed her mind, and her eyes lit up. “Princess, we can seek Dr. Su’s help! I’ll seek out Dr. Su tomorrow. If she takes action, she can stop that person! Moreover, she wants to learn about her mother’s background. Only you, the princess, remember it! I’ll inform her, and she’ll help you! Uh…”
Before Lian’er could finish, Sheng Ping covered her mouth firmly.
Her voice remained hoarse from crying, but she was extremely cautious. “The Princess’s Manor is full of leaks, and even for you and me, certain matters can’t be spoken lightly.”
Hearing Sheng Ping’s words, Su Yingxue immediately lost her desire to enter.
She turned and left the Princess’s Manor.
On the way back to the Marquis’s Manor, she looked calm and kept thinking. It was a coincidence that Sheng Ping gave her the book, but she knew that her mother had a relationship with the empress of the Yue Kingdom, but she did not tell her in the daytime.
Sheng Ping remembered it.
However, she intended to use this as leverage for a future deal.
Su Yingxue’s lips curled into a smile. A deal was possible, but she must retain control over the negotiation.
At the right moment, she would have a sincere conversation with Sheng Ping.
For instance, when the prince who had humiliated her appeared outside the Princess’s Manor simultaneously with her.
This moment wasn’t easy to find, but it seemed the heavens were particularly favorable to her.
Early the next morning, before she went to the clinic, Old Madam Zhang arrived with news. “Miss, the palace has sent an invitation to the spring banquet in seven days. However, Master has avoided letting you know. Even the new clothes and accessories have only been prepared for Miss Yurou.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Spring banquet…”
Wasn’t this a good opportunity?
