I just want to live a good life

Chapter 551 Can’t afford it

"I'm going to take her away now, what can you do to me?"

It was a familiar male voice, but it wasn't Mu Yunting's. Su Nuan paused and stopped in front of the door.

"Even if you take her away, you still have to come back to me in three days. I've already poisoned her. Without my unique antidote, she'll die in three days."

"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"Killing me is useless. I've only prepared half of the antidote. I know the rest of the steps by heart. I won't continue until I see that man's head. If you kill me now, Xia Qingyan will definitely die."

There was a moment of uneasy silence outside the door.

Su Nuan was in a state of confusion. The person who was negotiating with Xiao Qionghua outside the door was Ying Shu. She was not surprised by Ying Shu's appearance. Ying Shu and Xiao Qionghua were in the same group, but she did not expect that Xiao Qionghua would use her to force Ying Shu to kill someone.

Who to kill? The Emperor, the Crown Prince, or Prince Yongping?

How could Ying Shu kill these people so easily?

When did Xiao Qionghua poison her? Is she really the only one who can cure this poison?

These annoying questions lined up and drilled into Su Nuan's mind. She pushed open the door and walked out.

Under the moonlight, Ying Shu was wearing a blue shirt and holding a long sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword against Xiao Qionghua's neck.

When the two heard the voice, they looked at Su Nuan at the same time.

Su Nuan didn't know how to face Ying Shu, so she simply avoided his gaze and met Xiao Qionghua's, asking loudly, "Who do you want him to kill? Whose life is so precious that it can be compared with mine? Aren't you going to keep my life to threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why, have you changed your mind now?"

She deliberately spoke out loud about Xiao Qionghua's plan to use her to threaten the prince, in order to remind Ying Shu and to test Xiao Qionghua.

But Xiao Qionghua sneered and said, "That man is also a precious person. Whether he can be compared with you depends on your importance in his and the Crown Prince's hearts."

After saying this, he glanced at Ying Shu.

Su Nuan ignored Xiao Qionghua's meaningful glance at Ying Shu and said, "Since he's such a precious person, he naturally has layers of guards around him. How do you expect him to take that man's head within three days?"

"Don't we still have your Crown Prince? With his help, this matter will be done."

Su Nuan didn't expect Xiao Qionghua to have such a plan. It turned out that he used her to threaten the prince and Ying Shu for the same person.

But something seems wrong. Why can't the prince kill someone, so why does he have to let Ying Shu do it?

"Who did she ask you to kill?"

This time, Su Nuan didn't waste time talking to Xiao Qionghua and asked Xiang Yingshu directly.

It was not until then that she noticed that something was wrong with Ying Shu. His lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were slightly red, and his usually gentle eyes were filled with sadness.

Seeing Su Nuan looking at him, he turned his head away to avoid Su Nuan's sight.

Su Nuan was stunned when she suddenly ran into Ying Shu like this, and her doubts became even greater.

What exactly happened? Where did Ying Shu's sadness come from? Was he going to give up on "Xia Qingyan"?

Su Nuan felt uneasy.

"The person I asked him to kill was Prince Yongping."

Xiao Qionghua kindly answered Su Nuan's question on behalf of Ying Shu.

Su Nuan frowned slightly, and she suddenly remembered what Mu Yunshu said yesterday. He said that Prince Yongping had a son who was born to Fan Liren.

Could the person Mu Yunshu was talking about be Ying Shu? If so, the current situation makes sense. Letting his son kill his father, is this the most vicious revenge of the princess of the previous dynasty Fanli against Prince Yongping?

It should be counted.

However, this was indeed cruel to Ying Shu, as Aunt Ying was killed by people sent by Prince Yongping, and he was the enemy who killed Ying Shu's mother.

No, Su Nuan denied her idea again.

It is a fact that Prince Yongping sent someone to kill Aunt Ying. If Aunt Ying had a relationship with him, he would not have failed to recognize her. If he recognized Aunt Ying, he should not have thought that Ying Shu was Lord Xun's illegitimate son.

So Aunt Ying has nothing to do with Prince Yongping. There is someone else who has a relationship with Prince Yongping. Could it be Xiao Qionghua?

Su Nuan's eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Qionghua and Ying Shu's faces, as if trying to find similarities between the two.

No.

Xiao Qionghua is beautiful, but her eyebrows and eyes are not as delicate as Ying Shu's.

Yes, Ying Shu has delicate eyebrows and eyes, and if you look closely, he looks a bit like Mu Yunshu.

Su Nuan became more and more certain that Ying Shu was the son of Prince Yongping.

"Don't touch her for three days, or I will kill you and your loyal servants."

After he finished speaking, Ying Shu put away his sword neatly, looked at Su Nuan deeply, and turned to leave.

"and many more."

Su Nuan called out to Ying Shu.

She hated Prince Yongping, and she didn't care whether he lived or died, but she couldn't watch Ying Shu kill his father just to save her own life.

"You can't kill Prince Yongping. You might be his son."

Ying Shu stopped but didn't look back. He said in a low voice, "I don't have such a father."

"Prince Yongping has wronged your mother, but he has not wronged you. He has been looking for you all these years. Yesterday, Mu Yunshu almost fell into his trap because of looking for you."

Su Nuan pointed at Xiao Qionghua, who was glaring at her.

"No matter what Prince Yongping has done, and whether he deserves death, you cannot kill him. She wants you to do this, not only to kill Prince Yongping, but also to destroy you."

Su Nuan said this while meeting Xiao Qionghua's gaze.

Ying Shu finally turned around and looked at Su Nuan with a complicated look.

"But you've been poisoned by her, and no one in the world can cure her poison."

"She won't let me die. My death will do her no good. But if you kill Prince Yongping because of me, how can I bear it?"

"Is this the only reason you don't let me kill him?"

This is just one of the reasons. Su Nuan really can't bear Ying Shu killing his father to save her. More importantly, she thinks Ying Shu is a poor man. He has lived without the love of his father and mother for so many years, and he has not received the love of his family even when he was with the fake Xun Zheng. Now he finally has a biological father and brother, it would be nice to enjoy some family love for a few days.

She felt that it was better not to say the second meaning, so Ying Shu did not get a clear answer, and his hopeful eyes suddenly dimmed.

"I saved you because I wanted to. You don't need to bear any responsibility."

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly without waiting for Su Nuan to speak.

Su Nuan was a little annoyed and wanted to call the person back. As soon as she said "Ying Shu", she saw Ying Shu speed up his pace. In the blink of an eye, he was at the foot of the mountain. Then Su Nuan felt a flash before his eyes, and a figure flew towards him.

With a thud, a man fell heavily in front of Su Nuan, scaring her so much that she stepped back repeatedly.

After being surprised, he looked carefully at the man on the ground. He saw that the man was dressed in black, with a bow on his back, and was lying motionless on the ground.

"What's up with him?"

Su Nuan asked Xiao Qionghua.

Xiao Qionghua sneered and replied, "He's avenging you. He killed this person just because he shot you with an arrow."

Su Nuan snorted, "Don't put the blame on me. Ying Shu wasn't there when this guy shot the arrow at me. He killed people just to vent his anger."
