Rebirth and Reversal of Fortune

Chapter 28 Xiao Ling's Protection

"This Gu Yu is incredibly audacious!" Xiao Ling slammed his fist on the table in anger.

He immediately summoned his confidants and made careful arrangements.

"You must ensure Miss Su Jinxiu's safety without the slightest negligence," Xiao Ling said sternly.

Thus, a group of figures secretly protecting Su Jinxiu appeared around her.

On this day, Su Jinxiu went out shopping, and Gu Yu secretly followed behind her, looking for an opportunity to make a move.

Just as he was about to rush forward, Xiao Ling's men suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Get lost, don't even think about hitting on Miss Su!" the men warned in low voices.

Gu Yu was unwilling, but seeing these well-trained people, he dared not make any rash moves and could only leave angrily.

Su Jinxiu was completely unaware of this and continued to leisurely select items.

Back at the Marquis's residence, Su Jinxiu found that her room was always kept in perfect order, and some things she had casually mentioned liking would inexplicably appear in her room.

She was very puzzled and asked Xiao Cui, "What's going on?"

Xiao Cui smiled and said, "Miss, perhaps it's because God is looking out for you."

Meanwhile, Gu Yu was furious after his repeated attempts failed.

He decided to take a risk and hired a group of assassins.

Xiao Ling quickly received the news and strengthened his defenses.

When Su Jinxiu went out again, Gu Yu led his assassins to ambush her on her only route.

Just as they were about to make their move, Xiao Ling personally led a large number of troops to appear.

"Gu Yu, how dare you be so insolent!" Xiao Ling shouted angrily.

Seeing that things were going badly, the assassins all fled, leaving only Gu Yu collapsed on the ground.

Xiao Ling brought Gu Yu to Su Jinxiu.

"Jinxiu, this person can no longer bother you," Xiao Ling said.

Su Jinxiu looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao Ling said, "As long as you are safe, anything I do is worthwhile."

From then on, Su Jinxiu and Xiao Ling became even closer.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

The situation in the court became increasingly complicated. Xiao Ling's opponents seized upon his feelings for Su Jinxiu and slandered him to the emperor.

The emperor became dissatisfied with Xiao Ling and summoned him to the palace for questioning.

"Xiao Ling, as a prince, you should prioritize national affairs and not let personal feelings for your children ruin important matters," the emperor said.

Xiao Ling knelt down and begged for forgiveness: "Father, your son's feelings for Miss Su are genuine, but I have never forgotten my responsibilities."

The emperor pondered for a moment: "Fine, you'd better take care of yourself."

Xiao Ling left the palace, knowing in his heart that he had to gain the upper hand in this power struggle as soon as possible in order to protect Su Jinxiu.

Su Jinxiu was well aware of Xiao Ling's difficult situation, so she decided to use her connections in the capital to gather intelligence for him.

During this process, she met a mysterious old man.

The old man told her, "Miss Su, if you want to help the Prince of Yan, you need to find a crucial secret letter."

Su Jinxiu began searching everywhere for clues to this secret letter.

Meanwhile, Xiao Ling's opponents also noticed Su Jinxiu's actions and sent assassins to try to stop her.

One night, Su Jinxiu was attacked.

At the critical moment, Xiao Ling's men arrived in time and saved her life.

"Miss, this place is dangerous. You should return to the manor first," the subordinate said.

Su Jinxiu shook her head firmly: "No, I must find that secret letter."

In the days that followed, Su Jinxiu went through many hardships and finally found the secret letter.

She handed the secret letter to Xiao Ling, who used it to expose his opponents' conspiracy in the court and turn the tide of the battle.

But they knew this was only a temporary victory, and many more challenges awaited them in the future.
