Poison Doctor Mother Baby - Chapter 57

Chapter 57: How Exactly did She Disappear?

Bai Zhe looked at the crowd below him with much interest, and he really wanted to see if anyone would abduct her. At first, he wanted to come with his good friend, but Empress Dowager had a verbal edict. His friend was also too lazy to join the commotion, so he went into the palace to see Empress Dowager.

Looking at the familiar shadow guards from Su’s mansion, Su Ruoxi’s lips curved upwards. She had already lost all hope towards Su’s estate, and she could guarantee that those people did not come to save her, but they were here to see if she had died.

“Mo Lian, how is Old Madam Shen?” Su Ruoxi asked casually.

“Elder Prince Su did not say anything about you at the Su’s mansion, so Old Madam Shen still doesn’t know you’re about to be executed. However, Mo Ye said that Old Madam Shen kept talking about you and your father,” said Mo Ye truthfully.

Even a cold person like Mo Ye had said that Old Madam Shen genuinely loved the Master.

“Before the people from the Shen Manor arrive, tell Mo Ye to protect the three people’s safety. I think Lin Yue will deal with Madam Shen soon.” Su Ruoxi said after thinking for a while.

“Yes, Master!”

Su Ruoxi’s brain was filled with Shen Fei’s matters. In her previous life, she was also all alone, so she did not have any relatives. She was very clear of Shen Fei’s feelings towards her, but she still could not call her ‘granny.’

In this life, because of Baby and Master, she felt that she had changed a lot, but she was still not close to others. Some things could only be done slowly.

Perhaps after some time, her change would grow.

Su Ruoxi looked towards the center of the execution ground. Following the crowd’s commotion, a group of guards pushed a convict cart to the ground. Mo’s mansion servant girl, who was pretending to be Su Ruoxi, was inside the car.

“Everyone, move away. The criminal is coming. All move…” The leader of the guards yelled.

The crowd made a path, and everyone looked at Su Ruoxi, who was standing in the convict cart calmly and let out pitiful gazes.

“Sigh, how pitiful.”

“Yes, she’s too pitiful.”

“That’s right, I didn’t expect Third Miss to end up like this.”

Bai Zhe looked at Su Ruoxi in the convict cart and somehow felt something amiss. Upon closer look, she was clearly the woman he had seen yesterday, but he just felt that something was not right.

He could not pinpoint what exactly was wrong. It was weird. Her appearance and aura were the same, so what exactly was wrong?

Bai Zhe knitted his brows and stared at Su Ruoxi while they dragged her up to the guillotine in confusion.

Assassinating the Crown Prince was a serious offense, so quite a few people gathered to join the commotion. In addition to that person spreading rumors earlier, the crowd was even more unsettled.

“Master Ye said that Second Madam purposely talked about your execution in front of Madam Shen today. Upon hearing it, Madam Shen got so furious she fainted. When she woke up, she told the Shen Family shadow guards to come to the execution ground and save you. The Shen Family shadow guard had no choice but to contact the Shen Family. Coincidentally, they were outside the city; I’m afraid they’re rushing over to save you from the execution ground.” Mo Lian told Su Ruoxi in her heart.

“I know. Tell Mo Ye to continue ensuring their safety. Don’t let anyone hurt the Shen Family.” Su Ruoxi knitted her brows.

She did not expect the Shen Family to come so quickly and did not even expect Shen Fei to have such a strong reaction to it. Her heart fluttered, but at the same time, helpless.

Although she had never thought of committing suicide, since her death could solve quite a bit of a problem, it was not a bad thing to do. However, since the Shen Family would intervene, her death might not come easy.

The person supervising Su Ruoxi today was none other than Chancellor Lin Zewen. Seeing Su Ruoxi being dragged up, Lin Zewen looked at her with contempt before looking at the time. Then, he picked up an order card with the word ‘execute’ on it, and threw it onto the floor, while yelling, “It’s time. Execute!”

Bai Zhe stared at Su Ruoxi nervously while the surrounding commoners closed their eyes as they could not watch anymore.

In charge of the execution, the warrior picked up his sword and cut ‘Su Ruoxi’s’ head on the guillotine.

“Su…”

“Hua-dang!”

Following the sounds, the crowd looked up to see black smoke, which they used as a diversion while picking up ‘Su Ruoxi’ on the guillotine and flew her away. The warrior in charge of the execution had his head on the floor instead, dead.

This scene had happened with extreme speed, and before the Shen Family, who’s hidden in the crowd, could do anything, something appeared. Bai Zhe knitted his brows as he watched the black smoke that carried Su Ruoxi away. He paused for a while before leaving his seat.

Su Ruoxi did not expect such a thing would happen. Perhaps other people had only seen black smoke, but she saw very clearly that the person who saved ‘Su Ruoxi’ was a man in black. That black smoke came from a drug.

“Master, who is that?” Mo Lian asked in shock.

“Chase…” After she finished her sentence, Su Ruoxi directly sent Baby into space, and with a whir, her body disappeared from the floor. Mo Lian followed her hurriedly.

Outside Heavenly Phoenix City

Su Ruoxi and Mo Lian were looking at the cliff in front of them. When Mo Lian arrived, Su Ruoxi was already standing there.

“Master, where are they?”

“They’re gone.” Su Ruoxi said in a slightly cold manner. When she chased the man in black, he disappeared before her eyes.

She could confirm that there were no signs of hesitation or jumps as if this place was not a cliff to him when the other party came there. Then, he disappeared.

This was something she could not understand. This was clearly a cliff without any array formation. How exactly did a person carrying an unconscious ‘her’ disappear?

Upon hearing that, Mo Lian knitted her brows, not understanding what the Master said. However, it was apparent that the Master was not in a good mood, and Mo Lian understandingly did not probe further.

“Let’s go back.” After a while, Su Ruoxi said.

Luckily she had already wiped ‘Su Ruoxi’s’ memory and inserted the original owner’s memory into hers. Including the permanent appearance changing pill she had given her, the ‘Su Ruoxi’ at the execution ground was no different from the real one.

The only thing that worried her was the identity of the man in black that abducted ‘Su Ruoxi.’ What was his motive? If he had no ill intentions, there’s nothing to worry about, but it would be tricky if he did.

Although that ‘Su Ruoxi’ had the original owner’s appearance, that servant girl did not have a good-for-nothing physique. She had got rid of the other party’s cultivation and fed her the elixir to remove her dantian.

An average person would not be able to tell, but an alchemist would realize that ‘Su Ruoxi’s’ cultivation was forcefully removed not too long ago. She did not even think there would be an accident today, and it had happened in front of her.

This made Su Ruoxi regretful. It seemed like not being an assassin for some time had made her lazy. She actually did not consider an accident to occur. She was too careless.
