"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 246 Extra Chapter 6: She Transmigrated into a Book but Didn't Cure the Illness (2)

The final truth was unexpected: it turned out that the original owner's elder sister had hired someone to commit murder.

They paid a high price, instructing the assassin to stage a bandit raid at the scene after the assassination was completed.

Qin Su felt it was inaccurate; how could someone as beautiful as her be someone who was killed on the spot?

Chu Jiang, who overheard her meaning, thought: ...

She glanced again at the kidnapper who had been clenching his teeth and refusing to speak, but was now being tied up and subjected to "water torture" by her orders.

Even through the black veil, you could feel the assassin's breakdown.

Qin Su, who was furious before the interrogation, fell silent for a long time after finally learning the truth.

She stood at a distance, her eyes swirling with emotion, having thought of many things in that short time.

In the end, everything fell silent, and the once vibrant and exuberant vitality seemed to become lonely and powerless at this moment.

Chu Jiang looked at her, then suddenly let out a muffled groan, startling her awake: "How are you?"

Qin Su disregarded her anger and quickly helped him up, saying, "Let me help you to rest."

Chu Jiang remained motionless: "What do you intend to do?"

Qin Su was momentarily stunned, then forced a nonchalant smile: "What can I do? Just hide. Do you think I can outwit the Prime Minister's daughter?"

After saying that, she helped the man walk to the next room.

To avoid the waiter from saying anything, she spent all her money on the second floor.

However, Qin Su had only taken two steps when the man suddenly grabbed her wrist, forcing her to stop and look up at him: "What's wrong?"

Chu Jiang stared into her eyes: "Is there another way?"

"Ok?"

Chu Jiang: "Marry someone even more powerful, so she'll never dare to touch you again."

"Amazing?" Qin Su blinked, clicking her tongue in astonishment. Even more amazing than the Prime Minister...

"You want me to marry the emperor... Ouch, what are you doing? Be gentle!"

Whether it was her imagination or not, the man's gaze suddenly turned incredibly fierce, as if he was about to be driven mad with anger.

Qin Su: ...Divine Metal.

Only a fool would think of getting married to save themselves.

If she's going to marry someone just to survive, she might as well just die together with the murderer.

That night.

The room was pitch black without any lights on, and Chu Jiang sat alone at the table, seemingly waiting for something.

A while later, after the sound of the night watchman's gong had passed, a shadowy figure pushed open the door and immediately knelt down.

"Bring the assassin back to the capital and order the Dali Temple to arrest the Qin family's related suspects. During the investigation, no outsiders are allowed to interfere, and any favoritism or abuse of power is strictly prohibited."

A deep male voice rang out in the quiet night, carrying an eerie and chilling feeling.

Before Liu Ying could react, a token was thrown into his arms.

He hurriedly caught it.

It was actually the Crown Prince's decree!
At that moment, the shock he felt was indescribable.

This is the Seventh Prince, who would rather suffer injuries than use the power of the Eastern Palace. What could have caused such a drastic change in him overnight?
"I obey my orders!"

Liu Ying agreed and dared not think about it anymore.

The next day, sunlight streamed through the window, and the man on the bed seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes.

"you're awake?"

A gentle, sweet female voice entered my ears: "Take your medicine first. After you get up, we'll go to town to find a doctor to check your injury. I've already asked someone to rent a courtyard. We'll talk about everything after you've recovered."

The inn's medical facilities were too poor, and Qin Su was worried that he would get infected.

There was another reason for going to town—she underestimated the dangers of traveling long distances in ancient times, requiring her to hire a large number of guards. Chu Jiang looked at her: "Weren't you in a hurry to get to An County?"

The man's deep, pleasant voice brought her back to her senses, and a smile appeared on her pretty face: "Money can be earned anytime, right? Your health is more important."

Even though he knew she was just saying that to comfort him, Chu Jiang's mood inexplicably improved.

Without hesitation, he took the medicine bowl from the girl and drank it.

Just as I looked up, I suddenly had a strange feeling: why does this scene feel so familiar?
"Go slowly, try to find flat roads, and avoid bumpy rides."

Chu Jiang watched quietly as the girl leaned out halfway to direct the coachman. After speaking, she turned back to him with a gentle smile and softly comforted him, "Just bear with it a little longer, we'll be in the city in half an hour."

The coachman was alert and hid when he encountered danger yesterday. The assassins didn't target him, so he barely escaped.

She thought he would ignore her as before, but to her surprise, he nodded and said "hmm".

To be honest, she was a little flattered.
-
Meanwhile, the assassin headquarters that accepted the assassination mission was completely wiped out by the Imperial Guards.

There was no verification whatsoever.

Moreover, all the assassins and killers who were out on assassination missions were ordered to be arrested by local officials.

It was several days later when Qin Su heard that assassin organizations in various places had been wiped out and eradicated overnight.

Surprised, she couldn't help but scoff, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish; they've kicked a hornet's nest."

As for who Tieban was, she never even considered that it might be her.

Meanwhile, the man drinking tea beside him also looked indifferent, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

"By the way, you'll have lunch by yourself. I won't be coming back."

Chu Jiang frowned: "Where are you going?"

The girl's eyes flickered, and she felt inexplicably guilty. She mumbled, "I made an appointment to have dinner with a friend."

"What friends? When did you make friends here?"

The way the man pressed for details made anyone who didn't know better think he was someone special to her.

Qin Su was reluctant to answer: "It's a friend you don't know. Be good at home, I'll be back soon."

Chu Jiang didn't speak, but his expression clearly showed he wasn't willing.

Qin Su looked away, pretending not to see it, and couldn't help but think to herself:

They have absolutely no relationship, yet he wants to control her. If something were to actually happen between them, what would become of them?

She then reaffirmed her resolve: once the man recovered, she would find a way to break up with him.

She even regretted being blinded by his good looks and making that outrageous request for a "master's bodyguard".

Look, look, isn't this just asking for trouble?

Finally, after getting rid of the clingy person, we were able to leave smoothly, and the carriage was already waiting at the inn's entrance.

The original plan was to rent a house, but after entering the city, I found that the local guesthouses were quite nice, and staying in a guesthouse made it more convenient for all aspects of life.

There is a local porcelain kiln that specializes in firing various everyday porcelain items. However, because the town is small, its reputation cannot compare to that of larger kilns, and it generally only sells its wares in the surrounding area, so its reach is not very wide.

Qin Su happened to see the white porcelain used in the inn. The glaze was as warm and pure as jade. The shape was ordinary, but the price was very cheap, which piqued her interest.

To her surprise, when she asked the waiter, the owner of the brick kiln was in the shop, and that's how they made contact.

Qin Su: How can you say it's not lucky?

As for the man in the house who hadn't fully recovered from his injuries and was slashed again... well, he's just unlucky.

She came out of town specifically to discuss business with her boss.

The business deal went very smoothly. After visiting the kiln, Qin Su placed an order for a batch of porcelain on the spot, but the pieces had to be shaped according to her specifications.
