Chapter 143 Su Yinyin Makes a Move
Su Yinyin took the document and waved it in front of Murong Fu. "This clearly records your route for secretly mining gold and the details of your transactions. Do you still want to deny it?"
Murong Fu's face turned deathly pale. He hadn't expected Su Yinyin to have obtained such crucial evidence. But then he thought, "He clearly ordered his subordinates to destroy all the evidence."
Murong Fu suddenly realized that Su Yinyin was bluffing him.
Su Yinyin spoke again: "Murong Fu, what you have done has really damaged the friendship between our two countries."
Murong Fu smiled faintly, but the pain in his body forced him to grit his teeth and say calmly, "Princess, I seriously doubt that your evidence is genuine."
"I, the Crown Prince, was invited to offer my birthday wishes to the Empress Dowager. On my way to the capital, I was attacked by assassins! We happened to cross paths while passing a gold mine. Who is mining it, I know nothing about, and it has nothing to do with me!"
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Princess, this is a deliberate attempt to frame me. I am a distinguished guest, how can you humiliate me like this?" He tried to use his status to intimidate her.
"Murong Fu, you are truly a silver-tongued man. Do you even believe what you say?"
Su Yinyin sneered, "You try to intimidate me with your status, do you think I'm afraid? You want me, the princess, to take the blame for you, and now that things have been exposed, you think you can just let it go?"
Murong Fu snorted coldly: "We both know why the princess appeared in the mine. We're both equally guilty, so let's not talk about who's who."
The reason I, the Crown Prince, specifically sought out the Princess is because you pocketed all the gold while I was unconscious.
The princess thought she had done everything perfectly, but unfortunately, the Crown Prince had people lurking in the shadows who saw everything clearly.
Murong Fu, however, had a plan in mind: since you dare to deceive me, why can't I deceive you?
Actually, Su Yinyin had no evidence. What she just said was just a bluff. To see what she could get out of you, and even if she couldn't, she wanted to keep you worried.
Su Yinyin retorted, not to be outdone: "Is that so? Then this princess is truly worried about you, Murong Fu. Your men clearly saw that you were no match for this princess, yet they didn't offer any help. It's terrifying to think about!"
Murong Fu wasn't angry upon hearing this; it was he himself who had given the order not to intervene. However, he and his men had greatly underestimated Su Yinyin.
It can only be said that his arrogance, his overestimation of others, and his underestimation of others ultimately harmed him.
Although he was uncomfortable inside, he still tried to remain calm on the surface. "Princess, don't make false accusations. My subordinates are loyal and would never disobey orders. You are crying wolf, trying to smear me."
Su Yinyin remained calm and shook her head gently. "Murong Fu, if you think I'm making baseless accusations, fine. Anyway, I'm not one of your people."
Murong Fu felt that his body had reached its limit, and if he did not leave to receive treatment, he would die here: "Princess, why should we both suffer? Let's forget about this! I will never mention it again."
Su Yinyin's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Murong Fu, why don't you beg me, and I can extend your life!"
Murong Fu looked at Su Yinyin in surprise. He had thought she was only skilled in martial arts. No wonder she was such a good doctor.
He would have died last night if not for timely medical intervention. He hated her for putting him to death. So he instructed his advisors to arrange everything today. He wanted revenge!
But when they met again, his hatred for her had faded considerably.
He insisted on bringing something that could have been resolved on the street to such a far place, and even instructed his subordinates not to approach the house.
He trusted her so much that he wouldn't kill her. He just wanted to be alone with her, even if she was just sitting next to him. Or even just bickering, he thought that would be wonderful.
While he was enjoying this pleasant time, Regent Zhou Yuan arrived. If he had fought with Zhou Yuan then, he would have been utterly killed.
She still felt uneasy when she saw another man take her away. It turned out that she had another man protecting her, and that man was more skilled in martial arts than him.
Looking at Su Yinyin's stunning beauty, Murong Fu said, "Princess, what is your request? Please speak!"
Su Yinyin smiled faintly. She returned for two purposes: one, to scam someone; two, to make money.
Although Murong Fu was not a good person, he absolutely could not die on the territory of the Great Zhou.
It can make money and also prevent war between the two countries.
"You have no demands. Just give me enough money, and I will save you. If you don't get treatment now, your people won't be able to come, and your time is running out."
A cunning glint flashed in Murong Fu's eyes, but he quickly concealed it and said in a humble voice, "If the princess is willing to let me go, I am willing to give up three cities on our border."
Su Yinyin raised an eyebrow. "Three cities? Do you think I'm stupid? I don't want them."
Murong Fu clenched his fist. "Then...then add ten more boxes of jewelry."
Su Yinyin shook her head again. Murong Fu was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead. "What exactly does the princess want?"
Su Yinyin approached Murong Fu and whispered in his ear, "I want you to swear that you will never again covet our territory, plus ten chests of jewels."
Murong Fu's eyes widened, and after hesitating for a moment, he nodded helplessly, "Alright, I promise you."
Su Yinyin smiled with satisfaction, "Then let's draw up a written agreement."
Murong Fu had no choice but to sign the agreement as Su Yinyin had instructed. Once everything was settled, Su Yinyin took out a bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, and handed it to Murong Fu.
But Murong Fu was already in so much pain that he was completely powerless. In the cold winter, large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
Su Yinyin pretended to notice. She ignored her and handed the pill to the old man beside her, muttering, "So pretentious!"
With the help of the old man, after Murong Fu swallowed it, the pain in his body slowly disappeared, and his pale face gradually regained some color.
Su Yinyin glanced at Murong Fu and said disdainfully, "Give him a hand!"
In fact, Su Yinyin did this to impress Murong Fu, to let him know that she was highly skilled in martial arts and that the people around her were far superior to him.
After the elder used his internal energy to circulate within Murong Fu's body, Murong Fu's internal organs had fully recovered.
This effect shocked Murong Fu. His world was completely turned upside down.
These are true masters of the world. What are these people compared to them? They can be crushed with the flick of someone's finger.
At this moment, Murong Fu wanted to bring Su Yinyin and the others under his control. But he knew that was impossible. Since it was impossible, he couldn't afford to become enemies.
Murong Fu suddenly remembered something, and his mood instantly improved!
Murong Fu stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Su Yinyin, "Thank you for saving my life, Princess. I, the Crown Prince, will keep my promise. Soon, I will personally deliver those ten boxes of jewels to your residence!"
Su Yinyin nodded slightly, "I hope His Highness the Crown Prince keeps his word, otherwise he won't be so lucky next time."
Murong Fu turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Su Yinyin. "Princess, I have remembered what happened today. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely repay the kindness of sparing my life." After saying that, he hurriedly left with his entourage.
Watching Murong Fu's departing figure, Su Yinyin whispered to Lao Yi, "This man is ambitious. Although we have temporarily suppressed him today, we still need to be more vigilant in the future." Lao Yi nodded in agreement.
