    “It doesn’t matter.”


    Zi Wei’s eyes were gloomy, and his cold, emotionless statement made Su Yingxue sense a hint of destion.


    “I remember you said that it doesn’t matter if it’s the master wants to take your life.”


    Zi Wei nodded.


    “So you were poisoned because of the Silver Moon Pavilion’s control over you?” she asked.


    “No, afterpleting the task, seeking revenge.”


    “The Silver Moon Pavilion didn’t help you detoxify the poison inflicted on you?” Su Yingxue remembered that Hong Lian had mentioned that Zi Wei was one of the top ten valuable individuals in the Silver Moon Pavilion.


    “Object, unnecessary.”


    Zi Wei’s tone remained icy, without the slightest change.


    Su Yingxue’s expression briefly showed a tinge of sadness upon hearing his words.


    In her previous life, wasn’t she also treated as an object? In the eyes of the people she cared about, she only had utility value. Once that value was exhausted, she would be disposed of.


    Zi Wei was no different. To the Silver Moon Pavilion, he was merely an object, a sharp weapon. They didn’t care whether he was poisoned or when he died. What mattered to them was how much he could aplish for the Silver Moon Pavilion, and how many lives he could take. He had never lived for himself.


    Su Yingxue’s eyes momentarily dimmed, then suddenly became bright, like a beam of strong light emerging from the abyss.


    She said, “As long as you protect me well, 1 will also protect you. I will detoxify you and let you live a normal life.”


    Having experienced death once, it had made her much more open-minded. All living beings were equal, each living their own lives.


    However, Zi Wei seemed indifferent and replied coldly, “Not necessary.”


    Su Yingxue sighed, cing her hand on her forehead. “What would happen if you said just one more word!”


    “Can’t theymunicate properly?” Su Yingxue thought.


    “No,” Zi Wei replied.


    Su Yingxue felt exasperated. “Indeed, one more word.”


    “Well, forget it.” She would change her long-term goal into a short-term one, focusing on keeping him alive for now.


    With Zi Wei protecting her on behalf of the Silver Moon Pavilion, Su Yingxue wasn’t too concerned. However, since she had promised to cure Consort Xiang, she anticipated a constant stream of troubles within the pce.


    This morning, she had been contemting countermeasures when someone came knocking on her door.


    d in a moon-white brocade robe with delicate golden patterns, outlining the aura of a prince, Chu Chengye instantly became the center of attention upon his arrival.


    Inside the medical clinic, several married women blushed and turned their faces away.


    Two rows of guards stood behind Chu Chengye, carrying a box. He looked ahead arrogantly. “Where is the boss? Come out immediately.”


    Manager Qi nced at Su Yingxue, who was busy tending to the medicine cab and approached Chu Chengye politely. “May I ask, is this young master here for a consultation or to purchase medicine?”


    “I am the Seventh Prince of the current dynasty. Summon your boss to meet me,” Chu Chengye dered.


    Chu Chengye possessed a captivating appearance, and since childhood, countless individuals had sought to please him. He exuded a sense of superiority, expecting to be revered wherever he went.


    Yet, he was oblivious to the fact that he had stepped into Su Yingxue’s domain.


    Manager Qi chuckled. “Young master, our boss doesn’t readily meet with people. If there’s nothing urgent…”


    “How dare you defy Your Highness? You seek death!” Chu Chengye’s chief guard unsheathed his sword, attempting to intimidate Manager Qi. However, his de was promptly pushed back by a powerful force.


    Su Yingxue even gave him two ps.


    The guard was caught off guard and was about to retaliate when Chu Chengye red at him. “Stand down!”


    He looked at Su Yingxue unhappily. “What are you doing here? I advise you to mind your own business!”


    A few days ago, she had embarrassed him in front of the Ninth Imperial Uncle. He had yet to settle that score with her!


    She had better not provoke his anger today!


    Su Yingxue smiled and said, “Seventh Prince, did youe to advise me to mind my own business?”
