Chapter 1718: Chapter 1719: Satire
Aunt Bao looked at Su Yunjin nervously. Su Yunjin recalled the events in her mind once more and finally said with certainty, “It’s King Chu, it’s King Chu’s people.” Yesterday, Gu Ya said that the group of assassins were under King Chu. At that time, she had argued with Gu Ya, but now it seemed that those assassins truly were King Chu’s subordinates without a doubt. Follow current novᴇls on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮✶𝓷𝓮𝓽
Confirming that the group of assassins yesterday were indeed King Chu’s people, Su Yunjin felt indescribable anger, even a sense of being toyed with.
Regarding King Chu risking his life to save her, if there was even a trace of gratitude left in Su Yunjin for King Chu, now all that was left was anger and disgust.
Yesterday, King Chu acted in front of her as if he was risking his life to save her, but today, his cunning was revealed, impatiently arranging his people to capture her again.
One act after another, King Chu even went so far as to let himself be injured for her to see, thinking of the scene of King Chu covered in blood yesterday, Su Yunjin now felt that King Chu was truly wasting his talent not becoming an actor! Indeed, coming from the Imperial Palace, he acted as if it were second nature. She had foolishly believed yesterday that King Chu was there to save her. Now Su Yunjin felt she had been utterly stupid yesterday.
King Chu’s scheme to deceive her was something she had actually believed.
The sounds of fighting outside continued. Aunt Bao, upon knowing that the group of assassins outside and yesterday’s were all King Chu’s people, seemed even angrier than Su Yunjin, “Madam, King Chu is simply bullying us too much. Why don’t we go to the Prince Qi Residence now and tell the old princess about this, let the old princess make the decision for you?” Before arranging Aunt Bao to visit Su Yunjin’s home, Princess Rui had instructed Aunt Bao that if she encountered any tricky problems here, she could go to the Prince Qi Residence and ask the old princess to help resolve them.
Aunt Bao suggested going to find the old princess, but Su Yunjin didn’t think it was a good idea. King Chu often visited the Prince Qi Residence and was quite close to the old princess there. Even if she did go to tell the old princess, it might not be helpful. Not to mention whether the old princess would believe her, but even if she did, who knows whether the old princess would support her or choose to help King Chu?
After all, her relationship with the old princess at the Qi Residence was not deep; it was due to Princess Rui’s influence that the old princess treated her with a bit more courtesy. Su Yunjin would not presumptuously think that if she went to the old princess, the old princess would surely help her. Su Yunjin had met the old princess a few times and knew she was far from simple as she appeared.
The old princess, with her emotions not easily shown, was a deep and frightening person. Whether telling her about this would be good or bad was hard to determine, and Su Yunjin would not hastily tell the old princess about this without certainty, “Aunt, my husband and I will decide on this matter ourselves. As for the old princess, let’s not disturb her.” Su Yunjin would wait for Gu Ya to return and then discuss with him a solution to this matter.
She remembered Gu Ya mentioning that Prince Ning had already agreed to help. With Prince Ning’s assistance, she and Gu Ya had gained another ally. Facing King Chu, they had a better chance of success.
“Madam, Aunt Bao listens to you, not seeking out the old princess is fine.” After all, the old princess was elderly, and it might not be suitable to disturb her. Aunt Bao had witnessed Gu Ya’s abilities and trusted that the young master should be capable of resolving this.
