Kapitel 36: You Lost Again!
Redakteur: Atlas Studios
Time was tight. Thus, Su Ruoxi decided to bring them to the realm to get them treated. She was unsure if she could stay at the Prince's mansion for much longer. According to her calculations, the men from Shen Family were due to arrive anytime soon…
Shen Fei's treatment could not be delayed any longer. Since she had been poisoned over a long time, her injuries were worse than Su Ruoxi had expected. This was the first time the poison was purged from Shen Fei's body. Once the main toxins were purged, she had to ensure that Shen Fei was nursed back to health. If not, purging the poison for Shen Fei would not help her. It would only push her to the brink of death instead…
Su Ruoxi had intended to take her time in treating Shen Fei while she was at the Prince's mansion. For now, she had to keep Shen Fei alive. She would bring Shen Fei to the realm first nursing her back to health…
As for Granny Shen, Su Ruoxi decided to help her, too, since she could tell that Granny Shen was very loyal to Shen Fei.
As her abilities leveled up, so did her realm. When Little White awoke, time in the realm and time in the real world had turned into a 5:1 proportion…
This meant that every five days in the realm was equivalent to only one day outside the realm. Su Ruoxi was extremely pleased. She owned a super cheating tool!
Hence, this meant that she now had ten days to nurse Shen Fei back to health. She hoped Shen Fei could recuperate fully in ten days…
"Baby, take care of Granny Shen!" Su Ruoxi glanced at her daughter.
"Mother, don't worry!" Baby said confidently.
The mother and the daughter smiled at each other before taking their patient into a bamboo house. Little White had prepared everything Su Ruoxi would need in the house.
Su Ruoxi fed Shen Fei an elixir, which would prevent her from waking up in the middle of the treatment. Then, she began to heal her…
Prince Su's mansion…
The mansion was full of the hustle and bustle these few days. As the wedding drew near, Lin Yue and her two daughters became elated and nervous at the same time. It was bright and early in the morning. Su Ruolin had arrived at Su Ruoxi's courtyard…
"Xi-er, look what Second Sister brought you!" Su Ruolin said, feigning affection.
"Second Miss, I apologize. Miss is cultivating right now. She can't meet you!" Mo Lian stood before Su Ruolin and spoke with a cold expression.
"Oh, I see. That's fine. When she's done cultivating, please hand this to her. Oh yes, where is Baby?" Su Ruolin's gaze was cold, but she pretended to be concerned.
"Baby went out to play with the guards!" Mo Lian remained expressionless.
"Is that so? I will be on my way then! I will come by to see Xi-er tomorrow!" Su Ruolin tried to peek into the room, but she could not see anything. She had no choice but to surrender.
She turned and left the Jade Garden. She was not afraid of Mo Lian, but Su Ruoxi had insisted on leaving the Prince's mansion previously when she had reprimanded Mo Lian for stopping her Eldest Sister and her from entering…
Su Ruoxi claimed that Mo Lian and Mo Ye were a part of her family, and anyone who found fault with them was finding fault with her. If this was the case, Su Ruoxi was adamant that she would not remain for even a day more at the Prince's mansion.
For her own sake, she and her Eldest Sister had no choice but to admit their mistake and apologize to Mo Lian. From that time onwards, the two did not dare to offend the married couple, Mo Lian and Mo Ye.
"What's wrong, Ruolin?" Su Ruoqi walked by and asked casually.
"Eldest Sister, I was afraid that she might have suspected something and left. So I went over to take a look! But that good-for-nothing claimed she is cultivating in seclusion." Su Ruolin grumbled unhappily.
"Don't worry, Mother has stationed men around Jade Garden. Not even a fly can leave, let alone that good-for-nothing! We better prepare everything for the wedding. It's happening in three days! That good-for-nothing will be the one getting married, but the betrothal gifts will be ours!" Su Ruoqi said as her eyes sparkled.
"Oh yes, how could I forget! Eldest Sister, let's go and take a look. The men from the Crown Prince's mansion should be delivering the betrothal gifts soon!" Su Ruolin said elatedly.
As the two sisters spoke, they walked towards the lobby of the Prince's mansion to await the betrothal gifts from the Crown Prince's estate…
Prince Feng's mansion…
The interior decor of Prince Feng's mansion was extremely luxurious and extravagant, second only to the royal palace. It was situated in the west of Heavenly Phoenix City and occupied a few thousand square meters.
The place was almost the same size as the imperial palace. At the entrance, a plaque hung on top of the enormous gates. It had the characters "Prince Feng's mansion" inscribed on it. One could spot the characters from afar…
Oddly, there were no guards at the entrance of Prince Feng's mansion. Some might find it strange. Were they not afraid of trespassers without anyone standing guard at the gate?
Of course, they were not afraid! After all, there were no passersby at the front of the mansion in the first place. The entire road before the entrance belonged to Prince Feng's estate. The street was lined with a trap that would release poisonous gases. Just the thought of it was enough to strike terror and fear in people's hearts.
According to legends, the trap around the mansion had been lying around for tens of thousands of years. Other than those of the pure bloodline from the Feng clan, no one else could control the poisonous fumes.
Hence, Prince's mansion didn't need guards. If the Master of the estate allowed it, anyone could enter. If the Master did not permit it, no one would be able to step foot inside the mansion.
In a small courtyard in Prince Feng's mansion… The surrounding greenery was crisp and fresh. Spring was in the air, flowers blossomed, and it was picturesque and scenic…
Inside the courtyard… Two dashing men, one dressed in white and one in red, were seated across each other on a stone table. They were playing a game of chess.
The man in white furrowed his brows as he stared at the chess pieces for a long time before making his move. The man in red raised his eyebrows, and the corner of his lips curved gently. He put down the black piece he was holding. The man in white instantly yelled, "Ah! You cheated! Damn you, Feng Che. It's just a game of chess! Do you have to be so serious?"
"Haha, Bai Zhe. Don't forget, all's fair in war. You lost again!" Feng Che was in a jovial mood.
"Whatever, I'll beat you next time! Oh yes, I heard that the dimwitted Crown Prince is getting married. What do you make of it?" Bai Zhe asked his good friend.
"How is that any of my business? He's the only one marrying!" Feng Che leaned back lazily on his chair.
All along, he disliked getting involved in the affairs of the imperial family. The power of the royalty was a mockery to him, and he was not concerned about it.
"But once the Crown Prince ties the knot with someone from Su's mansion, the power of the imperial family will grow. In the future, you…" Bai Zhe wanted to continue, but he refrained himself.
"Bai Zhe, if it's something I, Feng Che, wish to do, nobody can stop me. If I want to destroy someone, it doesn't matter how powerful he may be. I have no fear!" Feng Che squinted his eyes as he said indifferently.
Bai Zhe knew that Feng Che truly meant what he said. Feng Che was not a man who made empty threats. He had the capital to be arrogant. He would not have had to endure so much hardship if it wasn't for those who deliberately schemed against him.
Bai Zhe felt indignant for his good friend. He was a part of the imperial family, yet enemies surrounded him! It did not matter if Bai Zhe was not interested in the tussle for power. As long as he carried the imperial family name, this was enough reason for others to have the desire to eradicate him.
