The seductive princess is no longer being pursued; the aloof prime minister is facing a crematorium.

Chapter 128 Jiang Jinshuang, you've gone mad!

In Yanjue's view, there is no such thing as not hitting women.

Even in Yan Jue's eyes, there is no difference between men and women.

He only obeyed Jiang Jinshuang's orders.

So when Jiang Jinshuang gave the order to Yan Jue to push the person in, he did not hesitate at all. He stepped forward, grabbed Xia Yurong's shoulder, and pushed her into the lake!
"Puff-"

The clean dress I had just changed out of was soaked again!
Xia Yurong didn't even have time to react; she was struggling and thrashing about in the water, shouting for help.

Pilgrims also come and go.

But he only glanced at the man in black with the sword at his waist, then lowered his head and left as if he hadn't seen it at all.

Xia Yurong shouted for a long time, but no one dared to come forward.

Ha, they say they couldn't stand Princess Zhaoming abusing her power, so they stepped in to help her when they saw injustice.

But now she sits right here, blatantly telling the world that it was she who pushed Xia Yurong into the water!
She didn't even try to avoid it.

But look, not a single person dares to "lend a helping hand".

It's ridiculous.

Yan Jue served Jiang Jinshuang a cup of tea.

She sat calmly and indifferently on the grand chair, watching Xia Yurong in the water, struggling in a sorry state like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

She seemed to understand that no one would come to save her.

Xia Yurong's cries for help gradually subsided. She frowned in humiliation, adjusted her posture, and swam to the shore on her own.

Soaked to the bone, looking utterly disheveled.

Jiang Jinshuang took a sip of tea, a half-smile on her face: "If Lord Pei hadn't reminded me, I would have completely forgotten."

"Miss Xia can swim."

—It was Jiang Jinshuang who had someone teach her.

Back then, there were water bandits who traded women in the capital. They were extremely skilled in swimming and knew the city's moat like the back of their hand.

Just in case, Jiang Jinshuang asked a girl from the riverside family to teach the maids in the mansion how to swim.

—At least if you really encounter danger, you will have the ability to protect yourself.

However, this matter was not a big deal. Not long afterward, Jiang Jinshuang sent men and used some tricks to force the pirates ashore and capture them on the spot.

And that was the end of it.

If Pei Du hadn't reminded her today, Jiang Jinshuang would have forgotten about this little matter.

"Can't I come up myself?"

Jiang Jinshuang scoffed coldly, looking at Xia Yurong, whose clothes were soaked through, a flash of violence in her eyes.

"What exactly does Your Highness intend to do?! Yu Rong will inform His Majesty and the Empress Dowager of everything that happened today!"

Xia Yurong forced herself to maintain her composure, appearing fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Jiang Jinshuang brushed the floating tea leaves from the teapot with the lid and sneered, "Yan Jue, push it down."

Before Xia Yurong could even react.

The next second, Yan Jue stepped forward again, pressed the hilt of his sword against Xia Yurong's shoulder, and pushed her into the water once more.

"Puff-"

Another sound.

It's really going well.

"Jiang Jinshuang!"

Xia Yurong, enraged, floated on the water's edge, her eyes filled with fury: "Do you think you're a princess and can do whatever you want, showing no regard for the law?!"

"Let me tell you, even if I am just a weak and vulnerable orphan, I will never submit to someone like you!"

His words were firm and resolute, demonstrating unwavering determination.

"Miss Xia is of noble character, which I naturally cannot compare to."

Jiang Jinshuang smiled as she watched Xia Yurong stumble and fall ashore.

This time, getting ashore was much more difficult than the last.

"But it's a real shame, I just love being the villain, I love seeing others submit to me!"

As she spoke, Jiang Jinshuang casually mentioned again, "The Inkstone Technique."

This time, without her having to give any further orders, Yan Jue pushed Xia Yurong into the water again! "Jiang Jinshuang, you've gone mad!!"

This time, Xia Yurong really couldn't hold back anymore!

Her clothes were soaked through and very heavy, making it increasingly difficult for her to swim.

"Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty?!"

Jiang Jinshuang raised her chin: "I don't know whether the Empress Dowager and His Majesty blame me or not, but I do know that now that you've fallen into my hands, I will not let you get away with it!"

After being pushed into the water three times, Xia Yurong was almost exhausted, but she dared not go ashore again. She just stayed on the bank, trembling.

Jiang Jinshuang simply watched calmly, showing no intention of stepping forward to help.

"Jiang, Jiang Jinshuang, after all these years, you are still the same as before, committing all kinds of evil deeds, harming the country and the people. You deserve to die!"

The river water was icy cold, and Xia Yurong shivered, her teeth chattering uncontrollably.

Jiang Jinshuang listened to her accusations but did not feel angry.

Such words have been said countless times, so her insults are insignificant.

But just because she wasn't angry didn't mean that Yan Jue, who was standing next to her, wasn't angry.

Yan Jue's gaze darkened slightly, and his hand rested on the hilt of his sword, as if he were about to draw it.

Jiang Jinshuang glanced at it and smiled helplessly: "Yan Jue, no need."

It dirtied her sword.

Yan Jue said coldly, "She spoke ill of you."

Jiang Jinshuang smiled and said, "So I pushed her into the water to make her reflect on her actions."

That cold, murderous gaze fell upon Xia Yurong.

In an instant, Xia Yurong shrank back, her icy gaze revealing murderous intent.

She swallowed hard and fell silent, trembling with fear.

Yan Jue said coldly, "He deserves to die."

Jiang Jinshuang casually curled her lips: "Then let's just watch from here. Push her back down every time she gets ashore."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue slowly removed the fingertips that had been resting on the sword hilt.

He stood upright beside Jiang Jinshuang, his gaze cold and sharp.

Not long after.

Yan Jue twitched his ears and said coldly, "Someone's coming."

Jiang Jinshuang lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and remained expressionless.

"Your Highness, you are being extremely rude."

He was Eunuch Sun, who served the Empress Dowager.

Eunuch Sun had a cold and stern face. He was thin and carried a whisk in his hand as he slowly walked towards Jiang Jinshuang.

Upon seeing Grandpa Sun, Xia Yurong felt as if she had found a lifeline; her eyes reddened, and tears instantly streamed down her face.

"Eunuch Sun, save me! Her Highness the Princess wants to kill me!"

Eunuch Sun frowned slightly, but before he could get close, a long sword was placed in front of him.

Following the direction of the person, one could see a man in front of them dressed in black with narrow sleeves, wearing wrist guards on his arms, and with a cold and aloof expression.

Eunuch Sun's eyes flashed coldly as he pulled out a whisk and flung it at Yan Jue's sword!
Without even glancing at Yan Jue, he twirled the sword in his hand, deftly avoiding the entanglement of the floating dust, and returned it to his grasp.

With just one movement, Eunuch Sun narrowed his eyes, and his originally cold and stern gaze turned serious and earnest.

This person's martial arts skills...

"The Secret of Inkstones"

Before he could probe further, Jiang Jinshuang spoke up from behind.

Seeing this, Yan Jue slightly raised his chin, took a few steps back, and returned to Jiang Jinshuang's back.

Grandpa Sun frowned, his gaze following the inkstone.

Jiang Jinshuang chuckled and stepped forward, blocking his view.

"Is Eunuch Sun here to see me?"

She spoke with a smile, her tone calm and composed, as if she hadn't been the one who had just pushed Xia Yurong into the water.

Finally turning his gaze away, Eunuch Sun, hunched over, looked at Jiang Jinshuang and asked, "Your Highness, were you perhaps too excessive in your actions today?"
