Ti flew by, and seven days had passed.
Su Yan spent a day recuperating, and most of her ti afterward was spent in the garden pavilion.
The nanny found her an embroidery lady with excellent embroidery skills.
She would co to teach for an hour every day.
Ever since the Third Prince said that as long as her embroidery t the standards, he would overlook what she did on that rainy day.
Thus, she worked diligently every day.
It seems that Comrade Su Yan just isn’t cut out for this craft.
After several days of practice, the patterns she embroidered were crooked and distorted, far from decent.
Even the teaching embroidery lady was amazed.
She had never seen a lady whose embroidery was so... appalling.
Finally, after so deliberation, Su Yan chose the easiest and best pattern to embroider.
She embroidered a delicate pink flower.
She just needed to outline the edges and fill in using pink thread, no special skills required, just carefully following what the embroidery lady taught, and it could be done in three days.
By the seventh day, Su Yan’s wallet was shaped.
A white wallet, with a small pink flower right in the center, which was very noticeable.
When the last stitch was sewn, the embroidery lady carefully examined her wallet.
She said,
"This is the best finished product embroidered in these seven days."
The face of the embroidery lady was bittersweet.
But she didn’t say anything else to discourage her.
Then, she handed the wallet back to Su Yan and got up to leave.
Su Yan kept the wallet properly.
She picked up a piece of dessert from the stone table.
And started eating.
In the pavilion, Su Yan sat alone, with no guard or maid by her side, so she talked to herself and no one noticed.
Xiao Hua spoke,
"Host, when will you give this wallet to Your Highness?"
"Tonight I heard that the envoy from Zhu Ri Country is visiting, and I will accompany His Highness there, then I will give it to him."
While speaking, Su Yan paused in her cake-eating action.
Looking at the green bean cake in her hand.
There, on the bite she had taken, rested a piece of paper.
Su Yan looked at the stack of green bean cakes which, she rembered, had been delivered half an hour ago.
While thinking, she opened the piece of paper.
It read a few words,
"Noon, behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden"
Xiao Hua couldn’t help saying,
"Host, His Highness has sothing he needs you to do again."
Su Yan stuffed the note into her wallet for storing sugar cubes.
She nodded her head.
Looking up at the sky, it was exactly noon.
She stopped eating and stood up, heading toward the Imperial Garden.
Originally, Su Yan thought it would be like last ti, with a black-clothed man eting her.
Little did she know, as soon as she arrived, she was surrounded by four black-clothed n.
Now it was noon, alti, and the surroundings of the Imperial Garden were quiet, with no one passing by.
Su Yan looked at the black-clothed n and blinked.
The other party did not speak, neither did she.
Then, from behind a rock of the rockery, a man dressed in odd clothing with a gaunt face ca out.
The man didn’t bother with pleasantries, first pulling out a black dicine pill and handed it to Su Yan,
With a raspy, sharp tone,
"Eat this."
"What is this?"
"Intestine-breaking Pill"
Su Yan blinked, without taking it.
She wasn’t a fool; by the na of it, it couldn’t be anything good—why would she ingest it?
Suddenly, a black-clothed man unsheathed his longsword, directly holding it across Su Yan’s neck.
Su Yan glanced at the longsword and asked softly,
"If I don’t eat it, will you kill ?"
The Witch Ancestor chuckled, looking quite frightening,
"Don’t worry, this pill won’t take your life in a short ti, just complete the task and the antidote will naturally be given to you."
