Su Mingyu narrowed her eyes as she looked at Su Yueyue. "Yes, I do need the antidote for Qingming, and I was indeed captured by the King of Yu. I admit you've found my weakness this time, but I'll never help you deal with Wu Yurou."
As she said this, Su Mingyu glanced at the baby in the nurse's arms and reached out to tease her. Then she turned to look at Su Yueyue and said word by word, "Sister, has the King of Yu ever held this girl of yours?"
Su Yueyue's face instantly darkened. She looked at Su Mingyu coldly. "What do you mean?"
"Sister is so smart. You should know how important Wu Yurou is to the King of Yu. I have no grudge against her. If I suddenly target her, as long as the King of Yu isn't stupid, he'll surely figure out the reason. Do you think he'll be more reluctant to part with Wu Yurou, who can help him secure the throne, or a useless daughter?"
Su Mingyu's words were like a direct hit, revealing that Su Yueyue meant nothing to the King of Yu.
Su Yueyue gritted her teeth tightly, her face tense.
Seeing that she had taken her words to heart, Su Mingyu didn't stay any longer. She turned around and left, clean and decisive without any hesitation.
As soon as Xia Mian saw Su Mingyu coming up, she rushed forward and asked, "My lady?"
"It's okay." Su Mingyu gave Zhizhu a reassuring look. "She just wanted me to help her."
Xia Mian thought for a while, lowered her eyes and looked at Su Mingyu. "My lady..."
Su Mingyu gave her a look, indicating that she shouldn't ask anymore.
After staying outside for a while, Su Mingyu and Xia Mian took Zhizhu back to the room. Just as they had comforted Zhizhu to rest, a maid came up and whispered something in Su Mingyu's ear.
Su Mingyu's face looked a bit ugly, but she still nodded. "I'll go right away."
Xia Mian keenly noticed Su Mingyu's uneasiness and immediately followed. "My lady, I'll go with you."
"No need." Su Mingyu raised her hand to stop her. "You shouldn't go. Zhizhu still needs you to take care of her."
After saying that, Su Mingyu got up and walked out. As soon as she reached the yard, she saw the King of Yu waiting for her there.
"Your Su sisters are really something." The King of Yu looked at Su Mingyu coldly, his tone unfriendly.
If it had been before, Su Mingyu might have had the mood to exchange pleasantries with him. But now, just thinking that he had captured Zhizhu and Xia Mian made her feel irritated, so her face also looked bad. "It was your own people who couldn't guard this yard well that allowed Su Yueyue to come in. Are you going to blame me for this?"
"Let me think. Did Su Yueyue want you to deal with Wu Yurou?" The King of Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Mingyu, looking confident.
Su Mingyu frowned. "Since you already know, are you not here to question me?"
"The night view is quite nice tonight. I'm in a good mood. I want to invite you to have some wine with me." As the King of Yu said this, he pointed to the table full of dishes behind him.
Su Mingyu frowned. "No, I'm pregnant. I don't want to drink at all."
As she said this, Su Mingyu turned around and was about to leave, but before she took two steps, the King of Yu's voice came from behind. "Don't you want the antidote for Qingming anymore?"
Su Mingyu gritted her teeth, turned around and glared at the King of Yu. "Don't you think you're being too despicable?"
"I'll do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. It's not the first time for me, is it?" The King of Yu lowered his eyes. "Please."
Su Mingyu pursed her lips and finally sat down next to the King of Yu. "Judging from your appearance, have you made great progress these days?"
"Yes." The King of Yu didn't hide it. "But most importantly, I've figured something out."
For some reason, the King of Yu seemed a bit strange today. Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Wh...at?"
The King of Yu suddenly reached out and grabbed Su Mingyu's hand. The scorching temperature of his palm made Su Mingyu subconsciously withdraw, but the other party held tightly without any sign of loosening.
Su Mingyu endured the nausea and looked at the King of Yu. "What on earth have you been thinking these days?"
"I know you don't like me." The King of Yu came straight to the point. "But that doesn't matter."
Su Mingyu's heart skipped a beat. She nervously wanted to interrupt the King of Yu, but before she could speak, the King of Yu said first, "Before, I always wanted you to understand my feelings and then be with me sincerely, but now I don't think so anymore."
Looking at Su Mingyu, there was a deep light in the King of Yu's eyes. "I want you to be mine. It would be great if you're willing, but if you're not, I naturally have ways to make you willing."
Su Mingyu's heart sank to the bottom. The situation she least wanted to see finally appeared.
"King of Yu..." Su Mingyu tried to arouse the King of Yu's reason. "Forced love won't be sweet. If you really force me to stay, I'll only hate you, nothing else."
"I don't care." The King of Yu raised his eyebrows. "I just want you by my side."
Su Mingyu took a deep breath. The King of Yu seemed to be possessed. "But I won't be happy."
"I don't care either." The King of Yu raised his eyebrows. "I was too concerned about your thoughts before, so I've been making no progress. Now I'll do what I want. As long as you're by my side, that's enough. As for your heart, I can win it over slowly."
Su Mingyu bit her lower lip. She felt that the King of Yu was completely unreasonable at the moment.
Seeing that Su Mingyu didn't say anything anymore, the King of Yu pointed to the cup in front of him. "Pour me some wine."
Su Mingyu didn't move. She just looked at him with a bad expression.
The King of Yu raised his eyebrows understandingly. "You don't need to be nervous."
He poured himself a cup of wine and drank it in one gulp. "You're pregnant now. I won't do anything to you. I just want to tell you that using Wu Yurou to get in touch with Gu Ruobai is indeed a good idea, but did you forget that Wu Yurou is from my Yu Palace?"
As he said this, the King of Yu snapped his fingers. Two guards dragged out a half - dead woman from the darkness.
The woman's face was covered in blood. It was obvious at a glance that she had been severely tortured.
When the woman's head was lifted and Su Mingyu saw her face clearly, her heart sank. Isn't this the dowry maid beside Wu Yurou?
The King of Yu actually dared to touch her. Didn't he care about Wu Yurou at all?
The King of Yu immediately saw what Su Mingyu was thinking. He narrowed his eyes. "She's just a maid. Do you think Wu Yurou will cause trouble for me because of a maid?"
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes and didn't answer.
"I know everything you've done in the mansion." The King of Yu said slowly, then gave a look to the guard beside him. The guard stepped forward and pinched the chin of the tortured woman.
