Chapter 393: Chapter 395: Threatening Liang Rou

"You, you dare!" Although Liang Rou was afraid in her heart, she didn’t believe that Shao He would really do it.

"You might as well try if I dare or not." Shao He sneered coldly and pushed half of Liang Rou’s body out of the window.

Seeing her body hanging outside the window, Liang Rou quickly shouted, "Stop, stop, stop—don’t move! Let me go, I’ll agree to your terms, just stop!"

"How much better it would have been had you said so earlier." Shao He’s expression changed and swiftly pulled back her hands.

Liang Rou collapsed to the floor, her legs trembling. She had felt confident just moments ago, but now she could only beg for mercy, "You, you venomous woman."

"I don’t have time to waste here. You better forget everything you saw, or else..."

Shao He grabbed her cheek and threw a medicine pill into her mouth, "Otherwise, you will die with your guts rotting inside."

Liang Rou was so frightened that she tried to throw up, but the medicine pill had already been swallowed, and nothing she did could change that.

Just as Shao He was about to leave, her skirt was suddenly grabbed. Liang Rou, looking terrified, said, "I promise you, I won’t say a thing, can you give me the antidote, please?"

Shao He slightly curved her lips with a faint smile, "How can I believe what you say? I will give you the antidote after half a month, on the condition that no rumors spread during this half-month. Otherwise, you will be buried with me."

"I swear! There won’t be any rumors, and I absolutely won’t say a word!" Liang Rou promised desperately.

"That would be for the best." Her finger glided across Liang Rou’s forehead, the cold touch made Liang Rou shiver in fear.

Shao He turned to leave and bumped into someone at the doorway.

"Sorry."

She looked up at the man, who carried a faint scent of incense.

Shao He examined the man. He was quite handsome, with delicate features and fair, smooth skin. Especially notable was his head of black and luxuriant hair that added to his elegant and clean appearance.

His eyes were as calm as still water, like an immortal banned from heaven, detached from the mortal world.

His clothes were very clean, with sleeves and collar adorned with pure white cloud patterns, impeccable and emanating an aura of sanctity.

His demeanor was indifferent, without any ripple, yet it vaguely exuded an air of authority.

He stood there, giving off an unshakable impression.

Shao He’s gaze fell on the short sword hanging by Lu Bai’s waist, its scabbard a dark red.

"It doesn’t matter," he said indifferently.

The man didn’t even glance at her as he walked past Shao He and left.

Shao He stared at his retreating figure, her brows slightly furrowed as if contemplating something. Then she left with a light chuckle.

When she returned to Anji Hall, she recounted Luo Cheng’s matter to Yun Qian, "Wouldn’t this be too risky?"

"But we have no other choice now. The Second Prince and Fourth Prince are watching us like hawks, making it surely difficult to transport these Detoxification Pills out." Shao He knew this plan was somewhat reckless.

Yet, compared to sitting ducks, taking the risk might still hold a glimmer of hope.

After pondering for a moment, Yun Qian suggested, "We could stage a diversion."

"You mean..."

Yun Qian leaned towards Shao He and whispered a few words in her ear. Shao He felt the plan was feasible after hearing it.

That evening, he called over Ah Mo and relayed the plan to him. Ah Mo nodded in agreement repeatedly.

Standing up, he knelt on one knee before Shao He, "Ah Mo offers his gratitude on behalf of the Hidden Guard to Doctor Shao."

"Get up and prepare. We must not let anyone detect any flaw," Shao He commanded.

"Yes."

Watching his departing figure, Shao He’s previous oppressive mood finally eased somewhat.

She was well aware that Ah Mo was Pei Huaian’s most trusted subordinate. Although he had shown her some respect in the past, it was because Pei Huaian was fond of her.

But now, his acknowledgement of her was genuinely from the heart.

Qingxia brought in the meal and set it up. Suddenly Shao He said, "Be extra cautious when taking care of Xiao Linzhang lately. With the Fifth Prince not in Capital City, we must prevent others from taking advantage."

"Miss, rest assured. The Fifth Prince has already made arrangements, and he has even dispatched a few Hidden Guards. Unless absolutely necessary, they will not reveal themselves around you and the young master."

Upon hearing this, Shao He lost her appetite, "I never knew he shouldered so much alone, yet he still jested with me as if it were nothing."

"Miss, the Fifth Prince truly loves you," said Qingxia, unable to hold back her words.

She hadn’t seen the Fifth Prince go to such lengths for anyone else. The miss was the first.

"I’ve never doubted his love for me, but in this age of multiple wives and concubines, I’ve always hesitated in my heart, fearing that I have to share my husband with others."

"If that’s the case, I’d rather keep this love in my heart, perhaps preserving some beauty in it."

Qingxia saw the melancholic miss and didn’t know what to say, only offering, "I believe that if the Fifth Prince had you, he wouldn’t marry another woman."

For many years, the Fifth Prince never took a concubine or a maid, not even a personal maidservant. This was proof enough that the Fifth Prince was serious about love and would not get involved with any woman other than the miss.
