The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1435: Chapter 1430: Cooperating with Xiao Yu, Scheming with a Tiger

Mu Qianya had also received the news. She had never met Su Yingxue, but she had heard plenty about the empress’s deeds and knew she was no ordinary person.

Xiao Yu didn’t want them to discover Su Miaoyan, and if he took Su Miaoyan away, Mu Qianya would undoubtedly have to help Xiao Yu.

Otherwise, if Xiao Yu became angry, they would likely not leave Qilin Garden alive.

Mu Qianya, accompanied by Feng Ling, hurried to Xiao Yu’s main residence.

Outside the courtyard, servants were on guard, with an assassin standing far away.

The man’s handsome face was detached, his distinct jawline as sharp as a blade, his eyes emitting a cold that suggested he could take a life at any moment.

Upon seeing the assassin, Feng Ling’s legs trembled, “Wu wu wu, Miss, this is too scary!”

He didn’t seem human!

He was like the King of the Underworld.

She always felt she would die at this man’s hands!

“Assassin, did your master say how to deal with the empress?” Mu Qianya stepped forward and asked.

The assassin’s voice was cold, “No.”

It was as if Mu Qianya had asked the void and yet, unwilling to give up, she continued, “But the empress is coming for Miaoyan with Madam Yin, heading straight here to take her away. There are also assassins from Silver Moon Pavilion with her; if a fight really breaks out, you might have difficulty coping.”

“No need to worry, kill, that is all.”

The assassin wasn’t one for many words, but his brief and punctuated responses sent chills down Mu Qianya’s spine.

Xiao Yu was ready to risk everything, even a conflict with the empress, but the Xiao family couldn’t do this, and neither could the Mu Family!

She couldn’t let Xiao Yu act so recklessly. She couldn’t die, and neither could Xiao Yu; she still needed the Xiao family’s support!

She quickly ran into the bedroom, then instructed Feng Ling to go scout out where the empress had reached with her entourage.

“Miaoyan, Miaoyan, are you there? Shall we play hide and seek?”

Mu Qianya’s gentle voice carried a persuasive charm.

Su Miaoyan meowed and jumped off the bed, “I’m here, Mu Sister! Where shall we play hide and seek? Outside?!”

Hearing about hide and seek, she smiled cheerfully.

Mu Qianya approached and caressed her smooth cheek, “How about we go to my yard?”

“Your yard… but I want to go outside; I don’t want to stay here, I don’t want to be with the big bad guy!” Su Miaoyan pouted.

“We’ll hide so the big bad guy can’t find us!” Knowing her personality, Mu Qianya coaxed her according to her temperament, and Su Miaoyan happily followed her.

The assassin blocked their path, and Mu Qianya quickly explained, “This is Xiao Yu’s main residence, the empress will definitely come to inspect it. Miaoyan can’t stay here; I will take her to my yard to evade the empress’s search.”

“How to hide.” The light in the assassin’s eyes brimmed with icy murderous intent.

Before Xiao Yu left, he gave her a message.

He wanted Mu Qianya to come up with a plan.

This was the test he gave Mu Qianya, to keep Su Miaoyan safe.

At the worst moment, it meant him rallying all the Xiao family’s assassins to act against Su Yingxue in order to protect Su Miaoyan so that she wouldn’t be discovered and taken away.

Mu Qianya looked at him, seemingly with a plan already in mind, “Just follow me, and I’ll ensure they can’t find Miaoyan. The empress will have no reason to lose her temper at Xiao Yu.”

Xiao Yu was determined to keep this matter safely concealed.

Only then could he ensure Su Miaoyan’s safety.

Chasing Shadow followed their steps as Feng Ling hurriedly caught up, “Miss, run… run! The empress is searching very fast and has already gone to the main courtyard.”

Besides the courtyard where Mu Qianya lived, the main courtyard was the only one not yet searched.

Once the main courtyard was searched, they would definitely burst into Mu Qianya’s place.

Mu Qianya was leading Su Miaoyan by the hand; Su Miaoyan was minding her cheek and adorably tilted her head. “Mu sister, who is chasing us? Aren’t we playing hide and seek?”

“There are bad people coming, Miaoyan must obey and hide well, or the bad guys will catch you.”

Mu Qianya spoke softly, trying not to frighten Su Miaoyan.

Su Miaoyan’s eyes widened, “Bad people? Let’s run, run, Mu sister, hide me!”

Mu Qianya brought Su Miaoyan to her own room and quietly instructed Feng Ling, “Stand guard at the courtyard gate, act very panicked, you must not let anyone realize what’s going on.”

Feng Ling knew her young miss was intelligent, so she nodded and went straight there.

Mu Qianya helped Su Miaoyan hide under her bed, then while lifting the bed board, she cautioned Su Miaoyan, “Miaoyan, be good and hide quietly without making a noise. I’ll be sleeping on the bed, hiding you inside. This way, the bad people won’t find you, be good.”

Su Miaoyan’s almond eyes twinkled obediently as she nodded, her voice incredibly soft and sweet, “Okay, Mu sister will protect me, I’ll be obedient.”

She lay inside the bed as Mu Qianya closed the bed board. The bed looked exceptionally flat on the outside, with an empty space inside, allowing Su Miaoyan to breathe.

Chasing Shadow, watching her do all this, said coldly, “They will search the beds.”

Who was Su Yingxue? Could she not see through this trick of Mu Qianya’s?

“Then we must make it impossible for the empress to search the bed!”

Brimming with confidence, Mu Qianya stepped forward and smiled at Chasing Shadow.

“How?” Chasing Shadow’s expression remained unchanged and cold.

“You, come here.”

Mu Qianya beckoned to him, and when Chasing Shadow approached the bed, she sat on it and whispered, “With both of us here, the empress won’t be able to search the bed.”

When Chasing Shadow understood, a complex look flashed through his eyes.

It seemed he couldn’t fathom how Mu Qianya could come up with such a plan.

“Don’t look at me like that. Do you think I want to do this? This is gambling with my reputation as a maiden. If this gets out, I won’t be able to face society anymore. But only by doing this can we ensure Miaoyan goes undetected. I don’t care about marrying in the future anyhow. I just want to secure the inheritance rights, so I only need to help Xiao Yu achieve his goal without worrying, sacrificing my reputation!”

Yesterday Xiao Yu had told her about today’s events, and she had already made up her mind.

Doing business with Xiao Yu was akin to negotiating with a tiger—how could it be so easy to gain his support and assistance?

If she couldn’t protect herself from the empress and come out unscathed, Xiao Yu would eventually cast her aside as useless, and all her efforts would be in vain.

Compared to the family business inheritance, she was willing to bet her entire reputation!

Chasing Shadow was still standing by the bed when Feng Ling’s shouting was heard from outside, “Empress, you can’t go in here! Please don’t go, Your Highness! Empress!”

Su Yingxue and Madam Yin were together, having searched the entire Qilin Garden without finding a trace of Su Miaoyan, leaving only this one courtyard to check. The maid’s obstruction made it seem all the more suspicious!

Madam Yin, with her eyes red with urgency, insisted, “Your Highness, we must take a look! Miaoyan might be inside!”

She trusted her own eyes; she had seen her daughter on Xiao Yu’s carriage, and she couldn’t be mistaken!

She must have been hidden here in this Qilin Garden!
