In terms of killing, he had never feared anyone!

Assassins could kill, and so could he!

Your opponent is me, Su Yingxue proclaimed boldly. Since youre here today, let our competition begin!

Saint Ruan was quite willing to engage her in competition. Originally, we could have competed today, but theres a decree from the palace. It has fixed our competition between us for tomorrow in the palace. Su Yingxue, are you afraid?

Afraid? Su Yingxues lips formed a beautiful arc. That word, I dont know how to write.

But why was the competition shifted to the palace?

Saint Ruan flicked his hair. Dont think Im trying to steal the limelight. The emperor invited me to the palace. Our upcoming competition has spread like wildfire. The emperor forbids me from mistreating you and claims he wants to ensure fairness.

He snorted, clearly discontented by Su Yingxues perceived attempt to gain advantages through influence.

Then lets meet at the palace, Su Yingxue retorted.

She knew it wasnt about justice being served at the palace. Instead, someone wanted to witness her public failure and death at the hands of Saint Ruan.

Originally a small-scale competition, the empress arranged it like a state banquet. Officials, military commanders, and the daughters of officials attended. In the vast Hall of Profound Literature, everyone awaited in anticipation.

Su Yingxue greeted the emperor and empress, sensing countless eyes on her.

Some were smug, others worried.

She noticed Lin Sisi, heavily veiled today, clutching her clothes tightly, deeply concerned for her.

Su Yingxue offered her a reassuring glance, calming Lin Sisi slightly.

In a daze, Lin Sisi accidentally stepped on someones foot nearby.

The person startled, crying out, Ah!

Lin Sisi quickly apologized, Im sorry, it was an accident.

Seeing Lin Sisi in green attire, Xiao Ruxues eyes flickered with emotion. So, Its Miss Lin from Great General Lins residence!

She was the daughter of Noble Consort Xiaos maternal sister-in-law and daughter of the Minister of War, she had been considered as a potential match for Noble Consort Xiaos son.

However, her mother informed her about Chu Jinlings engagement. Lin Sisi was bestowed as his imperial consort.

She was curious about Lin Sisis capabilities.

Seeing her flustered, Xiao Ruxues eyes revealed a trace of ill intent. Miss Lin, what happened to your face?

Her voice drew attention. All eyes turned to Lin Sisi. REad updated stries at n//vel/bin(.)com

Lin Sisi clenched her fists in her sleeves. Her eyes widened as fear welled up in her heart.

Jinling She whispered, subconsciously recalling Chu Jinling.

She was frightened!

Upon hearing her call, Xiao Ruxues demeanor turned cold. She put on a friendly expression and said, Miss Lin, if you feel any discomfort on your face, dont hide it. You must seek medical help soon. Let me check for you!

No! Lin Sisi was full of fear and pushed Xiao Ruxue away inadvertently.

Lin Sisis martial arts were not weak. Xiao Ruxue, a Young Miss from a rich family, was easily pushed down by her.

However, Xiao Ruxue somehow fell to the seat. Her forehead hit the corner of the table and instantly turned red.

Ruxue, what happened to you? When Madam Xiao saw this, she nervously helped her up.

Xiao Ruxue leaned into her arms and sobbed. Mother, I was concerned about Miss Lins face. Miss Lin accidentally pushed me..
