Things have to start from last night.

After Su wanted to have a nightmare last night, he was secretly talking to Lin Xue about something when Qingyun hurriedly walked in with the soup.

"Miss, the calming soup is ready. That..."

Su wanted to take the anti-decoction medicine, but seeing her hesitating, he raised his head and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The servant guarding the door just now reported that there is a woman asking to see you. The servant then took a look for you and found that the person who came was actually Hong Xiu..."

Qingyun knew that Hongxiu was currently serving Su Wan in Prince Yi's Mansion, so he didn't know why she came, so he was wondering whether to tell Su Xiang.

Su Xiang frowned.

Red sleeves? What is she here to do?

"I have an impression of this person." Lin Xue secretly said, "My people have investigated her. Since she was sold out, her life has been very difficult. Currently, there is only one elderly person in her family. Later, in order to make a living, she I came to Prince Yi's Mansion and am now serving Su Wan."

Su Xiang was curious, "Why are your people investigating her?"

Lin Xue said darkly: "We have investigated everyone in Prince Yi's palace."

Su wanted to express his admiration for this.

He is worthy of being the villain in the book who survives to the end. Before getting rid of a person, thoroughly investigate that person and everyone around that person. It really answers the saying, "Know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles with no danger."

Then, Lin Xue asked Su Xiang secretly: "Do you want to meet?"

Su Xiang lowered his head and slowly drank the antidote, and nodded, "Let's meet. You should find a place to hide first so that she doesn't see her."

"it is good."

Lin Xue An stood up and hid behind the screen behind Su Xiang. Most people wouldn't be able to see anyone inside without paying attention.

"Qingyun, call her in."

Qingyun nodded and hurriedly went out to give orders to his servants. After a while, Hong Xiu was brought in by her.

As soon as Hong Xiu entered the door, she knelt on the ground with a plop and said urgently: "Second Miss! You must not go to Zhanzhou tomorrow, it is dangerous!"

Su Xiang didn't expect Hongxiu to say such words, so he put down the soup bowl and winked at Qingyun.

Qingyun retreated and closed the door gently.

"Get up and talk. What's going on?"

Only then did Hongxiu stand up, and then spoke out in detail: "You know that I am serving Princess Yi now. A lot of things happened in the palace today, and the princess is pregnant, which is a good thing. But... I am going to serve Princess Yi." When delivering the nourishing decoction, I accidentally overheard His Highness Prince Yi saying that he wanted to get rid of you!"

Hongxiu spoke for a long time in one breath, paused, and then continued: "His Highness said that he would take advantage of your return to Zhanzhou tomorrow to get rid of you! Killers have already been sent to wait on the road that must be passed. Servant After hearing this, Liu quickly ran out to tell you!"

After hearing this, Su wanted to play with the beads on his wrist and frowned in thought.

What a coincidence. She had just had that nightmare when someone came to inform her that it was most likely true.

But...why did Hong Xiu come to tell him? What's her purpose? Is she a spy sent by Xiao Mo to spy on the situation?

Gotta test it out...

Thinking of this, Su Xiang raised his eyes and looked at Hongxiu calmly.

Today's Hongxiu has long lost the arrogance and arrogance she had in Su Mansion, and has become much calmer. The once beautiful face also had a look of vicissitudes of life, as if he had aged several years, and his eyes were a little more tired and numb.

"Are you... having a hard time in the palace?"

Hongxiu was stunned. She never expected that Su Xiang would suddenly ask this. Then she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"My slave is doing well. Serving Princess Yi now is a good job, and the money can help support the family."

Su Wan is not bad to Hongxiu, but because of what happened in the past, Hongxiu can no longer serve her as loyally as before. Now she's just in it for the paycheck.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Su Xiang didn't ask any more questions, and went straight to the topic, "In that case, why did you take the risk to tell me the news? Are you not afraid of being caught by King Yi and losing your life if the matter is exposed?"

Hongxiu looked at Su Xiang with complicated eyes and moved her lips slightly, "I'm very scared...but I don't want you to be killed by King Yi. If the second lady hadn't saved my life, I would have been dead." . This life was given by the Second Young Lady, and I want to repay you. Even if I die because of this, I will have no complaints!"

Su Xiang blinked.

She didn't expect that her unintentional act would be gratefully remembered by Hongxiu until now.

Seeing that Su Xiang was silent for a long time, Hongxiu thought she didn't believe her, so she became anxious, "Maybe you don't believe me, but I beg you not to leave tomorrow! Even if you leave one day later, that's fine!"

Hongxiu looked straight at Su Xiang when she spoke, her eyes full of sincerity and worry.

Su Xiang curled her lips slightly, "Okay, don't worry, I understand the situation."

She stood up and walked over, patting Hongxiu's shoulder to reassure her, "Thank you for your kindness. Don't worry, I will be well prepared for tomorrow."

It seemed that Hongxiu really wanted to repay her, so she took the risk to come and report, and she accepted the favor.

"Really?" Surprise flashed in Hongxiu's eyes, obviously he didn't expect Su Xiang to believe him so quickly.

Su Xiang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Well...but, can I ask you to do me a favor?"

Hongxiu was stunned, and saw Su Xiang turn around and walk to the cabinet behind him, pull out a blue and white porcelain vase, then take a few steps over and hand it to Hongxiu.

"Since you are serving Amelia Su, you have the opportunity to get close to Xiao Mo. So, can you help Xiao Mo drink this tomorrow?"

"……What's this?"

"poison."

Su Xiang smiled and explained under Hongxiu's frightened eyes, "Don't worry, this is not the kind of poison that seals the throat when it sees blood. It won't kill people immediately. I also have to protect myself, right? Since Xiao Mo wants to kill me, Then I will return the favor and poison him. As long as he needs the antidote, he will not be able to attack me for a while."

Although Su wanted to believe Hongxiu's words, he still wanted to give her a try just to be on the safe side.

If she really helped Su Xiang poison her, it meant that she was sincere. When the incident was completed, Su Xiang would find a way to ensure her safety. If she lied to Su Xiang and did not poison her, then Su Xiang would also find an opportunity to settle the score with her...

No matter how he thought about it, Su would not suffer any loss.

Hong Xiu was slightly relieved after hearing Su Xiang's explanation. She hesitated for a moment, then took the bottle with trembling hands and held it firmly in her hand.

"Okay. I'm willing to help you."

Su wanted to confirm again, "Are you really willing? If you are accidentally discovered, you may be retaliated by Xiao Mo."

Hongxiu nodded solemnly, "I am willing! This slave's life belongs to the Second Young Lady, and you can do whatever the Second Young Lady does!"

Su Xiang saved her life, and she must repay him! Even if it means taking her life!

Su Xiang couldn't help laughing when he saw her looking at death, and finally added.

"Then it's up to you. If things come true tomorrow, you should hurry out of the palace and wait at the east gate of the palace. Someone will pick you up then. Putting aside everything else, I can still guarantee your personal safety."

Hongxiu didn't expect that Su Xiang actually planned to protect her. She was already mentally prepared to sacrifice.

"If you work for me, I won't let you sacrifice easily."

In an instant, tears welled up in Hongxiu's eyes. She choked with sobs and lowered her head to say thank you: "Thank you, Miss Second!"
