He knocked on the courtyard gate in front of him.

Before long, the courtyard gate was opened and he walked in.

Su Ying followed him and came to the courtyard. When she heard the movement beyond the gate, she made use of the noise to climb over the wall. On the boundary wall, she could see two figures walking toward the interior.

Su Ying’s body landed lightly on the ground and she quickly followed them.

This residence was not big and was very quiet. There was not even a single person along the path leading to this place.

The two of them walked to a room with lights on. The other party pushed open the door and let the other person in.

Su Ying surveyed the surroundings and then leaped onto the roof. She carefully lifted a roof tile up there and she was able to see what was happening inside the house.

“Old friend, it’s been a long time. I didn’t expect to be able to see you in the capital.” The person who spoke was a short and fat middle-aged man. At this moment, his eyes were filled with ridicule and disdain as he looked at the person who entered the room.

“What exactly do you want to do?”

The man gave a gleeful laugh. “What are you talking about, old friend? I was worried that you were framed back then. I left not long after you were taken away. I’ve been looking for a chance to explain myself to you.”

“Hmph! Stop pretending to be kind and righteous here. Tell me, what exactly do you want?”

The man’s smile deepened. “You also know that the Empress met with a mishap back then because of that snack. Tell me. If your master knows about this, will he take your life?”

“What the hell do you want!”

“It’s nothing much. It’s just that someone is very curious about the situation in your master’s residence and wants to ask you some questions. As long as you answer truthfully, 1’11 pretend that the incident back then never happened.”

“In your dreams!”

The man sneered at his refusal. “You’d better know what’s good for you. I’m warning you. If this matter is exposed, you won’t be able to keep your life. Don’t worry. I won’t treat you badly. As long as you listen to me obediently, you’ll enjoy endless glory and wealth. Isn’t it better than being a chef? Don’t be in a hurry to reject me. Go back and think about it carefully. However, I don’t have much patience. I’ll give you at most two days. If you still don’t get it, the stupid things you did in the past will probably reach your master’s ears.”

Under the flickering candlelight, the middle-aged man’s wretched and sinister face was illuminated by the wavering light, and so was Hea Shouyi’s face.

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes were so dark that they seemed to merge with the night sky. She slowly covered the roof tile and watched Hea Shouyi leave the courtyard.

Hea Shouyi walked out of the courtyard and into the alley with a heavy heart. When he reached the intersection of the alley, he saw a horse carriage parked in front of him. He was a little surprised. Just as he was about to go around it, the curtain of the carriage was lifted.

Su Ying’s icy face appeared under the faint moonlight.

The silver moonlight fell on her graceful face as if a layer of frost had accumulated on her face.

Hea Shouyi didn’t know why, but the moment he saw Su Ying, his heart instantly became at ease.

“Your Highness…”

“Get in the carriage.”

Hea Shouyi got into the carriage with a stiff body. The moment the curtain dropped down, it blocked out the remaining light in the horse carriage.

The temperature in the carriage seemed to have dropped to the extreme, making people shudder.

“Your Highness…”

“Start from the beginning, Uncle Hea. 1 don’t want to hear a single lie.”

Hea Shouyi took a deep breath and felt a huge rock pressing on his chest. “Let me tell you about what happened more than ten years ago. At that time, the Chu State, the Nan State, and the Jin State were the three dominant powers. Although the Jin State was weaker, the difference in strength compared to the other states was not big. None of the three powers was willing to give in to one another. At that time, the Emperor had just ascended to the throne and he wanted to conquer the Nan State and the Jin State to show his might.”
