Chapter 957 -956: Setting a Trap, Waiting for the Noble Lord to Fall into It_1
“Noble Lord found out about what happened in front of the palace gate, and as expected, he couldn’t bear it. He plans to send someone to assassinate Duanhui at the Crown Princess’s coronation ceremony tomorrow.”
“He wants to assassinate her again?”
Lin Qingluo’s heart sank, “I hope it doesn’t cause more trouble.”
“There’s a high chance it will.”
Little Kingfisher guessed secretly: “The Prime Minister is cunning. He won’t allow anyone to ruin the coronation ceremony. He must have planned carefully. Anyone who tries to assassinate will be like walking into a trap.”
“There’s something fishy about this.”
Lin Qingluo had a sudden bad feeling: “Could it be that Duanhui’s humiliating Yixuan in front of the hall was premeditated? Maybe she’s one of the Prime Minister’s people, setting a trap for Noble Lord to fall into?”
“It’s possible.”
Little Kingfisher suddenly understood: “Now that you mention it, Duanhui’s extreme behavior makes sense. Otherwise, it would be unbelievable for a six-year-old girl to be so vicious.”
“What about Yixuan?”
Lin Qingluo suddenly felt uneasy: “Did he manage to stop Noble Lord this time?”
“Not so far.”
Little Kingfisher was very sure: “Baoya saw him take the soothing pills and fall asleep.”
“Phew.”
Lin Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief: “As long as Yixuan is fine.”
“Master, it seems that the Empress is not in good health.”
Little Kingfisher quickly changed the topic and started to talk about the Empress.
“Oh?”
Lin Qingluo raised her eyebrows but didn’t care much.
“Perhaps the damage to the brain from the charm technique is severe.”
Little Kingfisher guessed secretly: “Her hair has turned white, and her breath is very weak. It looks like she doesn’t have much time left.”
White hair, not much time left!
Lin Qingluo felt a sudden pain in her heart when she heard “white hair” and lost the interest to continue talking.
“Forget the Empress for now. You go to the palace tomorrow morning and keep an eye on Yixuan. Don’t let him play with his life again.”
“Alright.”
Little Kingfisher agreed cheerfully.
Even without her command, it would go.
The Crown Princess’s coronation ceremony, the Prime Minister, and Noble Lord’s struggle will surely be exciting.

Su Ziqin stayed by the bed all night, and no matter how the maids tried to persuade her, she refused to leave.
By dawn, she was so tired that she couldn’t keep her eyes open, dosing off leaning against the head of the bed.
Li Xiu’e’s right fingertips quivered slightly.
“Mother.”
Su Ziqin sensed something and suddenly awoke.
“Sister, is mother awake?”
Lin Qingluo, who had gotten up early and came to the Quiet Elegance Residence holding an umbrella, just happened to lift the curtain and enter the room at this moment.
“Sister Yu, mother’s hand just moved a little.”
Su Ziqin saw her sister and was overjoyed, making way for her at the bedside.
Lin Qingluo quickly walked over, skillfully took the pulse, and after a moment, her right fingertip flashed with spiritual light, gently touching Li Xiu’e’s forehead.
A pure spiritual power flowed from her fingertip into Li Xiu’e’s forehead, helping her wake up from the coma.
“Mother, your daughter is unfilial.”
Su Ziqin saw her mother wake up as they had hoped, tears streaming down her face, kneeling at the bedside: “It’s me who made you sad, and caused you to be heartbroken and unconscious.”
“Sister Qiao.”
Li Xiu’e’s breath was weak, and she shakily reached out her hand to Su Ziqin.
“Mother.”
Su Ziqin moved forward, holding Li Xiu’e’s hand, and cried out loud.
Lin Qingluo’s mood turned somber as she gently comforted her sister: “Sister, don’t cry. Mother just woke up and shouldn’t be too emotional.”
“I don’t want to cry, but the tears won’t stop.”
Su Ziqin wiped her tears with her sleeve, but the more she wiped, the more tears came.
“Let’s do this, you take care of mother for a while, and I’ll go call father.”
