Chapter 429: Something Worse Has Happened

Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Fifth Princess directed her attention towards Su Ning. “Miss Su, perhaps it’s best if you stepped away for a moment.”

She and the Crown Prince had devised a devious scheme. She had initially feigned a reason to consult Qin Zhenzhen and led her to the other side of the cruise ship.

Their plot entailed having a young lady beckon the Fifth Princess away. Then, she would arrange for two young ladies skilled in martial arts to approach and seemingly collide with Qin Zhenzhen. The instigators would feign grievances and initiate a dispute with Qin Zhenzhen, ultimately pushing her into the river.

Once Qin Zhenzhen was in the water, the Crown Prince’s guards, strategically positioned, would leap into action to rescue her. During the rescue process, these guards would take the opportunity to disrobe Qin Zhenzhen, preferably exposing her flesh.

Subsequently, the Crown Prince, who was on the boat ahead, would dive into the water to retrieve Qin Zhenzhen. In public, he would demonstrate physical contact with her.

The Fifth Princess’s objective was to tarnish Qin Zhenzhen’s reputation and create a sense of aversion in Su Bin. It was more straightforward to push Qin Zhenzhen overboard by herself, given that she could disguise the act as an unfortunate accident.

Having Su Ning present complicated matters, making it more challenging to push both of them into the water. With Qin Zhenzhen having an additional ally, the likelihood of accidents had increased.

Hence, the Fifth Princess sought to have Su Ning removed from the situation.

However, Qin Zhenzhen’s response surprised the Fifth Princess. “May I ask, Fifth Princess, is there a specific medical matter you wish to discuss? Is it of such a private nature that no one else should be privy to it?”

“My area of expertise lies in medical skills. Are you in need of consultation regarding a physical ailment?”

Allowing Su Ning to leave her side was out of the question for Qin Zhenzhen. If the Fifth Princess and her entourage had any intentions of harming Su Ning, it was Su Ning who would bear the brunt of it.

Intrigued by Qin Zhenzhen’s remarks, the young ladies nearby pricked up their ears. Her words seemed to imply that there might be a medical issue concerning the Fifth Princess, one too delicate for the imperial physician to address, hence the consultation with Qin Zhenzhen.

Though clearly irked, the Fifth Princess had no choice but to clarify, “It’s not a private matter. I’m inquiring about the process of crafting pills using the Immortal Pill.”

Qin Zhenzhen nodded and added, “In that case, there should be no problem with my sister accompanying us. In truth, my sister is my disciple, and if you have questions, she might be able to provide answers.”

Following this, Qin Zhenzhen continued, “I had initially been concerned about leaving my sister alone. She hails from a rural background and may not be aware of certain etiquette. If she inadvertently offends a noble person, it could lead to trouble.”

“Fifth Princess, I trust you won’t object to my little sister accompanying us, will you?”

At this point, the Fifth Princess had no choice but to reluctantly agree. “Very well, let’s proceed together.”

Well, if you’re so eager to be together, we can all head into the water together!

So, the Fifth Princess, Qin Zhenzhen, and Su Ning headed to the other side of the cruise ship. The views here weren’t as captivating, which resulted in fewer passengers.

Qin Zhenzhen was prepared for the Fifth Princess to make her move when another young lady rushed over for assistance. “Fifth Princess, we have a problem. Miss Lin and Miss Wang are on the verge of a fight!”

The Fifth Princess scolded, “Why must those two be so troublesome!”

“I apologize, Mrs. Su. I need to attend to this matter. Please ensure there’s no physical altercation. It would be problematic if someone falls into the river. Later, you might have to explain that I didn’t supervise them properly.”

With those words, the Fifth Princess paid little heed to her image, gathering her skirts with both hands and hurrying away.

Qin Zhenzhen pondered the Fifth Princess’s intentions and soon noticed that the iron railing she was standing by appeared to have been tampered with.

She quickly grasped the sinister plot behind the Fifth Princess’s actions.

The Fifth Princess intended for someone to forcibly shove her against the railing. If the railing had been tampered with, it would give way, causing her to plummet into the river.

And the subsequent events could be far more dire..
