"Without further ado!"

Xu Mao held up a knife, raging, "From today on, I will definitely be hunted down by the imperial court! I won't survive! You will also be buried with me!"

Su Xuqing stood up from the ground after hearing this, patted the grass debris on the ground, and then smiled faintly, "Don't you believe it? Since I know your identity, why do I dare to approach you alone?"

Xu Mao quickly looked to both sides, thinking that there was a master hiding in the dark.

"Humph, even if you brought an expert with you, I can kill you with one strike at such a close distance. No one can save you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Mao started to chop!

The blade cut through the air, making a sharp sound. Su Xuqing pushed her hair to her ears and looked at him coldly.

In Xu Mao's sight, Su Xuqing's green skirt fluttered, and she looked very fragile with her back against the setting sun, as if she would break at the slightest touch. But when the knife was halfway down, Xu Maode's body suddenly froze, and the hand holding the knife suddenly began to cramp, and his vision gradually blurred and became stained with a layer of blood.

"You...what did you do to me!"

Xu Mao seemed to have had all his strength drained away, and his whole body quickly became weak. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground, with bright red blood flowing out from all his orifices.

Su Xuqing passed by him and gave him a cold look.

"When I was treating your injuries just now, I directed the blood stasis in your veins to the Yintang, Shenting, and then to the Baihui acupoint, and the stasis could not be released."

Su Xuqing's footsteps gradually went away, and a few words that came to her mind made Xu Mao lose all hope.

"Xu Mao, your life span is over."

Xu Mao screamed "wow" and spat out a large mouthful of blood, then fell to the ground like a piece of straw.

In front of the carriage, Li Er wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Ma'am, I was really scared just now. I almost thought you were going to be killed."

Su Xuqing smiled slightly and said slowly: "It's all in the plan, but you acted very convincingly when you were repairing the car just now, and he didn't even suspect anything."

Li Er took a look at the corpse and was still frightened.

"I was just chatting with him, old man, saying some nonsense."

Su Xuqing stepped on the wooden stakes and got on the carriage. She looked into the distance and said, "Miss Sun should be done with it soon. Let's go over and take a look."

"Eh!"

Li Er responded and continued on his way.

The wheels rolled, stirring up a cloud of dust. Li Er recalled what had just happened, with a complicated expression...

"Madam, I am a little confused. Since you knew Xu Sandao's purpose and identity, why didn't you just do it directly? Instead, you grilled fish, healed his wounds, and then killed him. Isn't this unnecessary?"

In the carriage, Su Xu held his chin with one hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.

"Feeding him fish was to let him die well-fed. After all, the condemned prisoners in the prison also have a meal before going to the execution ground. As for healing his wounds, that was out of kindness. Killing him was to enforce justice. Each has its own reasons."

After listening to Su Xuqing's explanation, Old Li was a little confused. He just felt that his own Crown Prince's Consort was too kind. She was so particular about dealing with a vicious criminal.

After a while, Li Er rode his horse at full speed to where Sun Youwei was.

Su Xuqing got off the carriage and glanced at Sultan, stunned for a moment, "Where are the legs?"

Bai Zhu spread his hands and said, "It blew up."

When Sudan saw Su Xuqing appear, his face, which was already due to excessive blood loss, became even uglier.

"Xu Sandao, this loser, can't even hold you back!"

"Don't say that." Su Xuqing looked down at Sudan, "He has tried his best and even sacrificed his own life."

Upon hearing this, the Sultan's heart sank to the bottom.

"Any other last words? If not, you will have to accompany Xu Sandao on his journey to the underworld."

"Wait a minute!"

The Sultan raised his head hastily and said in a deep voice: "To tell you the truth, there is a big shot in the court behind me. If you kill me, that big shot will not let you go!"

Su Xu's clear and watery eyes narrowed slightly. Shen Xuanheng's guess was indeed correct. There really was someone behind this Sultan.

"Let me guess... this important person you are talking about is the Third Prince, right?"

When these words were spoken, the Sultan was stunned.

"You...how do you know?"

Su Xuqing sneered and said slowly: "I was not sure before, but now I am sure. If my guess is correct, the deceased Minister of Justice Xu Younian was also the Third Prince's man, right?"

The Sultan's throat was a little dry. He originally wanted to use these secrets as bargaining chips to buy his own life, but he didn't expect that the Crown Princess knew everything.

The Sultan breathed rapidly and spoke hurriedly, "Since you know everything, why don't you send me back to the capital for treatment? As long as I survive, I will definitely ask the Third Prince to let you go!"

Su Xuqing showed contempt and said sarcastically, "Sultan, you are just a pawn of the Third Prince. He is dealing with the Zhennan Palace because the palace is so powerful that it threatens the emperor. How can a small pawn like you change this fear? If you return to the capital alive, the Third Prince will know that you are in my hands, and I am afraid he will cut you into pieces at all costs. After all, he cannot tear his face with the Zhen'an Palace openly. Southern Xinjiang needs the Zhennan Palace to guard it, and he also needs to gain reputation in the court. How can he bear the bad reputation of assassinating the loyal descendants?"

Sun Youwei's face gradually turned pale in the carriage. She never thought that the Sultan was involved in so many things, and she never thought that the illustrious Zhennan Palace was actually being plotted against by the Third Prince...

The Sultan's eyes were wandering and he was filled with resentment. This Crown Prince's wife was too smart and she had figured out everything.

"Elder Concubine."

Bai Zhu pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Since the Third Prince has ill intentions towards the Zhennan Palace, why not bring him to the palace and confront him in front of the Emperor? This will surely suppress the Third Prince's arrogance and make him dare not attack the Zhennan Palace again in the future."

The Sultan seemed to have found a glimmer of hope when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes, I can testify for you!"

Su Xuqing looked cold, shook her head and said, "This man is a fickle villain. If we really bring him to the emperor, I'm afraid he will bite back. Not only will it endanger the Zhen'an Palace, it may also ruin Miss Sun's reputation. It's better to let him die here, and the Third Prince will slowly deal with it later."

"Prince Princess!"

When Sudan heard that Su Xuqing wanted to kill him, he immediately became anxious, "If you dare to kill me, I will not let you go even if I turn into a ghost!"

Su Xuqing sneered and said slowly: "If you can't beat me when you are alive, can you beat me when you are dead?"

The Sultan's eyes were red with anger, and he stiffened his neck and said in a stern voice: "Princess Consort, I will definitely come to find you after I die! I will eat your flesh and sleep on your skin!"

"Okay, okay, shut up!"

Bai Zhu moved and stepped on the Sultan's head on the ground. He twisted his toes and exerted force, and the Sultan's head split like a watermelon.

"Princess, please go back first. I will deal with the body."

"Hard."

Su Xuqing was nauseated by the strong smell of blood. She quickly walked to the carriage that had fallen to the ground, felt his breath, and then pricked him with a silver needle to wake him up.
