Lan Ruobing did not doubt anyone she hired and would not use those who were untrustworthy. Since Lin Rou had performed flawlessly for the princess, the latter did not suspect Lin Rou of betrayal.

Still, Su Binglan did not expect the problem to lie with Lu Zuidie. When the emperor declared the marriage between Lu Zuidie and Chu Luiyan, the former acted as if she had no choice.

At that time, Lan Ruozhu felt guilty for not protecting Lu Zuidie. However, Duke Lu had agreed to bestow the marriage, and Lan Ruozhu was in no position to do anything.

After careful consideration, Su Binglan felt there was something amiss about Lu Zuidie not having a choice. Perhaps the latter had already contacted the Crown Prince in private back then.

After the marriage, Lu Zuidie hinted to Lan Ruozhu that she had no choice. It seemed the former wanted Lan Ruozhu to do something. If he did, it would be disrespectful to the emperor, and the emperor might even charge him with treason.

Lan Ruozhu wanted to protect Lu Zuidie, but the Deceased Royal’s Mansion was a thorn in the emperor’s side. Lan Ruozhu had to protect so many people and could not achieve the things he wanted to.

He planned to bring Lu Zuidie to the palace to meet the emperor, but she did not dare to or want to implicate the Lu Public House. Lan Ruozhu was disappointed because he understood Lu Zuidie’s attitude at that time.

He understood that she only wanted to hide and do nothing. Instead, Lu Zuidie wanted Lan Ruozhu to sacrifice himself for her. If she did not show up, Lan Ruozhu would be in no position to do anything for her.

Later, Lu Zuidie became the Crown Princess. Perhaps she had even approached Lan Ruozhu with a motive from the start. If that were the case, Lu Zuidie was cunning.

Lin Rou paled when she heard Su Binglan’s threats. Only Lan Ruobing, Lu Zuiyou, and Lin Rou knew about the situation. However, Lan Ruobing had already died, making Lin Rou wonder how Su Binglan knew about it.

‘These women aren’t Prince Zuiyou’s. Do they belong to Princess Ruobing?!

No, that can’t be. She’s already dead.’

“Wh-who are you two?! How do you know so much?”

Su Binglan revealed a bloodthirsty smile and said, “I’m here to settle some scores with you and take revenge.”

“Y-You’re one of Princess Ruobings, aren’t you? You’re one of hers!” Lin Rou was horrified. She knew how capable Lan Ruobing was. Although the latter was young, she had many loyal subordinates.

Lan Ruobing was exceptionally intelligent, and most would never dare to betray her. Lin Rou only betrayed the princess because she knew Lan Ruobing was about to die.

However, she did not expect Lan Ruobings people to know about everything that had happened. Lin Rou’s fear of Lan Ruobing was deep within her bones. After all, the princess was kind to her subordinates but would punish those who betrayed her.

“Ah! It hurts!” Lin Rou felt a sudden pain in her body, knowing the poison had begun to act up. It was as if countless red ants were gnawing on her body.

Su Chun wanted to kill her, but she felt it would be too easy on Lin Rou. The latter then fell to the ground, covered in sweat. Lin Rou begged weakly, “S-Spare me, pleas… I beg you…”

Su Binglan and Su Chun watched indifferently. Su Binglan would show no mercy to those who betrayed her. When Lin Rou fainted, Su Chun asked, “She can’t be dead, right, Master?”

“She’s not.’

A while later, Lin Rou regained consciousness and knelt, saying mechanically, “Master.”

Su Binglan demanded, “Tell me everything you know about the Lu Public

House, Lu Zuiyou, and Lu Zuidie.”

Lin Rou continued to speak mechanically, stunning Su Chun. “Master, what’s happening?”

“l just fed her a puppet pill,” Su Binglan explained, “She’s under my control now and will continue to listen to my orders in the future.”

Su Chun inwardly exclaimed, ‘My master’s the best!’

After gathering information on Lu Zuiyou and his sister, Su Binglan began mobilizing her spies. She had also obtained more information about certain individuals from the teahouse.

She then spent a few days cleaning up some messes and wrote some names on a piece of paper. “Su Chun, arrange for a team to assassinate these people.” “Who are they, Master?”

“They’re working for the Lu Public House and Lu Zuidie. I also included some people who work for Chu Liuwu and Han Yueting on that list.”

Although these people had hidden themselves well, Su Binglan quickly discovered they were on the same side.

“These people are highly secretive. Even ministers, other government officials, or moners don’t know what they’ve done. We must make them mess up because they’re so well hidden.” Su Binglan did not want to waste too much time in the capital since she had many things to do.

Therefore, she decided to deal with some people as quickly and accurately as possible.

“Here are some pills you can use whenever necessary. These will make your job a little more convenient. I’ll provide you with some rumors to spread, too.”

“Right away, Master,” Su Chun said excitedly. She admired her master more and more with each passing day.

Su Binglan made many arrangements very quickly. Soon, the Lu Zuidie and even Duke Lu’s people realized their trusted aides had disappeared into thin air. Even their corpses were gone.

Han Yueting realized it was not as simple as it seemed. It was as if an invisible hand had plucked certain people away from the world. Soon after, someone in the Lu Public House was discovered to be using witchcraft on the emperor.

Then there were the clothes used by the wooden figures, which came from the Han Familys cloth shop. It shocked the emperor. In his rage, he ordered his men to imprison the people of Lu Public House and the Han family. He then planned to execute them.

Lu Zuidie fainted when she heard about what had happened at Duke Lu’s mansion. When she regained consciousness, he ran to the emperor and said, “Emperor, my father is innocent. Someone must’ve framed him. Please spare my father.”

Lu Zuidie was afraid and in a panic. She had always schemed against others in the past and even killed countless palace maids. Their lives meant nothing to her, after all.

However, she was fearful when the emperor threatened to execute those from the Lu Public House.

Chu Feisen did not care about Lu Zuidie, saying, “You and your people are the reason why my father has scolded me!”

The emperor had grounded Chu Feisen because of all the chaos. The latter was ruthless and would not have made Lu Zuidie the Crown Princess if she had not benefitted him..
