Chapter 246 One step too late again!
Su Yinyin interrupted, "Madam, we have no way out. If we don't take the initiative, we'll really have no chance if she makes another move."
Auntie Er chimed in, "Yinyin is right, we can't just sit here and wait to die."
Su Yinyin instructed, "Jin, lead a group of people to investigate the area around the villa. Be careful not to alert them."
The old man nodded and replied, "Yes, Miss."
Su Yinyin then took out another bottle from her bosom. The old lady and her second aunt saw it.
Everyone was staring at the bottle, curious about what good things were inside.
Although they were all first-rank women, they all came from aristocratic families.
They've seen plenty of good stuff. But that thing they just saw, they've never seen before.
Su Yinyin shook the bottle in her hand and said, "Madam, just to be on the safe side, you should give this to Su Gaojie. This will keep him quiet."
The old lady was terrified. Although her son was a scoundrel, she was still in great pain to see him die in front of her.
The old lady spoke with difficulty, "Yinyin, what is this?"
Su Yinyin said, "Madam, this can cause someone to fall into a coma."
The old lady looked at Su Yinyin sadly: "This, this...!"
Seeing this, the second aunt held the old lady's hand and said, "Mother, this is the best way out for eldest brother."
Su Yinyin ignored the old lady's dilemma and said, "Brother, you handle these things in the manor."
Everyone knows who Su Yinyin is referring to.
After the first brother left with the second brother, Su Yinyin and the others began preparing weapons and horses, ready to set off at any time.
Soon after, the old man returned and reported: "Princess, the villa is heavily guarded, but I have found a weak point in the defense."
Su Yinyin's eyes lit up, as if she saw a glimmer of hope, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "Okay, let's break through from there."
The group rode their horses towards the villa outside the city. Upon arrival, as planned, Su Yinyin and the others quietly approached the weak point.
Just as they were getting close, a guard suddenly spotted them: "Who goes there?"
Su Yinyin shouted, "Attack!"
The group immediately charged forward like arrows released from a bow, engaging in a fierce battle with the guards.
Holding a long sword, Su Yinyin fought bravely against the enemy. Her figure was as nimble as a swallow, and her swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind. In the blink of an eye, the enemies fell one after another.
With everyone working closely together, they took down the Empress Dowager's men in a single move, their actions perfectly synchronized and demonstrating their excellent training.
Su Yinyin frowned, her eyes revealing doubt and vigilance as she cautiously observed her surroundings.
She cautiously stepped into the courtyard, still gripping her long sword tightly in her hand, in case of any sudden danger.
Seeing this, Lao Yi and his companion quickly ran in front of Su Yinyin, shielding her from all danger.
The others, following behind Su Yinyin, all looked tense and glanced around nervously, wary of any danger approaching her.
"Search carefully, she couldn't have just vanished into thin air!" Su Yinyin commanded in a low voice, her tone carrying an undeniable authority.
The group dispersed and began searching each room in the villa, their movements swift and cautious.
At this moment, Lao Yi discovered some suspicious traces in the corner of a room: drag marks of blood on the ground and some messy footprints.
"Princess, there's something going on here!" the old man shouted, his voice tinged with excitement.
Su Yinyin walked over quickly, looked at the marks, and had a bad feeling. Her expression became more and more serious.
"Could she have escaped injured?" the third brother whispered, his voice filled with worry.
“It can’t be that simple.” Su Yinyin shook her head, her gaze resolute. “Keep searching. We must find her.”
Just as everyone continued their search, a scream was suddenly heard.
"Oh no, something's happened!" Su Yinyin's heart tightened, and she rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, her steps hurried.
It turned out that a subordinate of the Imperial Noble Consort was injured by a hidden weapon at the entrance of a basement.
"Everyone be careful!" Su Yinyin warned, raising her voice slightly.
She cautiously entered the basement, where a pungent, nauseating odor filled the air.
"Your Highness, you can't escape!" Su Yinyin shouted, her voice echoing in the basement.
However, she was met with only deathly silence, as if the entire basement was swallowing up all sound.
Su Yinyin walked forward more cautiously, when suddenly, a dark figure pounced on her from behind.
Su Yinyin reacted quickly, turning around and swinging her sword to defend herself.
"It's you!" Su Yinyin recognized the person as a skilled fighter from the Imperial Noble Consort's side.
Su Yinyin and Lao Yi had met before in the palace of the Imperial Noble Consort.
So this person was there to supervise her!
The two clashed instantly, with Su Yinyin unleashing her full power, her swordplay sharp and her aura overwhelming.
In just two moves, the expert was defeated by Su Yinyin and left in a sorry state.
"Tell me, where is the Imperial Noble Consort?" Su Yinyin shouted angrily, her eyes burning with rage.
The expert sneered, "You'll never find her!"
Su Yinyin was extremely anxious. She knew that the longer the time dragged on, the slimmer the hope of finding the Imperial Noble Consort would become.
Just when everyone was at a stalemate, Su Yinyin suddenly discovered a mechanism on the wall.
She gently pressed the mechanism, and a hidden door slowly opened.
"It's inside!" Su Yinyin rushed in first.
The Imperial Noble Consort was lying on the ground, barely alive, with multiple wounds and bloodstains on her body.
"I've finally found you!" Su Yinyin walked up to her, her eyes filled with hatred, her teeth clenched.
The Imperial Noble Consort raised her head with difficulty and looked at Su Yinyin: "You... you finally came."
Su Yinyin said coldly, "You have committed many evils, today is your death day!"
After saying that, Su Yinyin raised her longsword, ready to end it all.
But the relieved smile of the Imperial Noble Consort made Su Yinyin stop wielding her sword.
Su Yinyin asked in surprise, "You're not her?"
The Imperial Noble Consort smiled weakly, her voice faint but tinged with sarcasm: "Su Yinyin, you are still too naive. I am just a substitute. You will never find the real Imperial Noble Consort."
Su Yinyin said angrily, "One day, I will catch her."
The Imperial Noble Consort coughed a few times, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth: "Take the baby and go, the farther the better. You can't fight her, believe it or not."
Su Yinyin's face turned extremely pale, a strong sense of unease welled up in her heart, and her brows furrowed.
At this moment, the old man spoke up, saying, "Miss, don't be fooled by her words. Let's control her first."
Su Yinyin composed herself and said to the people around her, "Take her back and interrogate her thoroughly. I refuse to believe we can't find out the truth."
However, just as everyone was about to make their move...!
