Chapter 876: Hiding It Deeply
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Han Yueting did not know why he felt uneasy after hearing Su Binglan’s words. He looked at her intensely, trying to read her expression. According to the information he had previously gathered, she was just a country girl.
Han Yueting did not know what kind of opportunities Su Binglan had, but she
knew much about medicine and food. However, he did not take that information seriously.
After all, many others were proficient in medicine. The Legendary Medicine
Valley changed nothing, nor could they cure Lan Ruozhu of his illness. Han Yueting did not expect a country girl to be better at medicine than those from the Legendary Medicine Valley.
Back then, the people of the Deceased Royal’s Mansion racked their brains to cure Lan Ruozhu. If that were the case, a country girl would have also failed.
As for Su Binglan’s knowledge of food, many others were also impressive cooks. Additionally, her knowledge of food would not affect Han Yueting. It seemed he had underestimated Su Binglan.
She had cured Lan Ruozhu and earned the people’s love and respect. She even wrote the General’s Order play to show the people the truth about the Wei family’s army.
Han Yueting realized how brilliant Su Binglan was and planned to provoke her. However, his words did not affect her at all, which puzzled him.
‘Who is she? Is she just a country bumpkin, or does she have a hidden identity? Since this princess is so proficient in food and medicine, she must have another identity.’
Han Yueting gritted his teeth but remained silent. His guts told him that he would regret knowing who Su Binglan was.
Su Binglan smirked. “Since you’re not curious, I won’t say much more.”
Han Yueting was stunned, thinking she was unpredictable. He even wondered if she would really remain silent if he did not ask who she was. As he noticed Su Binglan motioning to leave, his expression tensed, asking, “Wh-who are you?”
Su Binglan smiled mockingly and turned to squat before Han Yueting. She asked, “Don’t you have any guesses?”
Han Yuetings heart sank. “If I did, I wouldn’t have needed to ask, Your Highness.”
He thought Su Binglan had a good temperament but did not seem like an ordinary person. He intended to make her panic with his previous rambling but did not expect the tables to turn.
Su Binglan laughed as she looked at Han Yueting. She said, “l never expected us to meet here again, Han Yueting. However, you’ve become a prisoner now. When you broke off the engagement, you chose to do it at Prince Ruozhu’s banquet to embarrass my people. Did you forget about that?
“Although 1 don’t care about you and aren’t familiar with you, your actions have humiliated the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. I’m still unhappy about that. I don’t care about my reputation, but I can let others slander my brother.
“l wanted to visit you and ask for an explanation, but your family didn’t take my people seriously. You even shut your doors and hid like a coward. Did you think the Deceased Royal’s Mansion would have fallen so quickly?
“Tsk tsk, look at you now. Do you still think you were right? Your arrogance and ambitions have harmed your family. Can you face your ancestors after what you’ve done?”
Han Yueting paled with shock and could not return to his senses. He looked at
Su Binglan in disbelief and stammered, “Y-You’re… You’re Lan Ruobing, aren’t you?!”
Han Yuetings voice trembled as he was sure Lan Ruobing had died. He wondered how she could still be alive. Even so, she looked like a fifteen-year-old instead of an eighteen-year-old.
‘No, it’s already a new year, so she should be nineteen.’
Han Yueting stared at Su Binglan with reddened eyes. He wanted to lash out but realized he was exhausted. He could not accept this fact, and his body seemed to freeze.
“How can that be? How can you be Lan Ruobing?” Han Yueting was anxious as he spat a mouthful of blood. He had calculated everything but never expected Lan Ruobing to be still alive.
He knew Lan Ruobing was the brains behind the Deceased Royal’s Mansion. The Han family would only be relieved when she died.
Su Binglan said indifferently, “l didn’t say you should believe it. Whether or not you do is up to you. It’s satisfying to see how angry you are. I bet you never expected things to turn out this way.
“I remember how talented you were during childhood. Unfortunately, your greed has blinded you.” Su Binglan looked at Han Yueting as if she was looking at a stranger.
A moment later, Han Yuetings eyes reddened even more as he laughed maniacally. “Wahahaha! You hid yourself so well, Lan Ruobing! Hahaha!”
Lan Ruobing was a brilliant yet terrifying existence to some. If not for her weak body, Han Yueting would not have chosen to rely on the Crown Prince.
He only sided with the Crown Prince because he thought Lan Ruozhu and Lan Ruobing would die.
Han Yueting stopped laughing and said hoarsely, “Why do you look younger? How’d you pull this off? How did you change your face?”
Since Su Binglan possessed exceptional medical skills, he thought she could change her face through medicine. Still, she did not intend to explain her appearance change to Han Yueting.
She just wanted him to know who she really was and that his methods of investigation were useless against her. Su Binglan did not expect Han Yueting to be so agitated.
She had never seen him behave that way before. As expected, she had provoked him.
Su Binglan asked, “Is there a point in answering your questions?”
Han Yueting said dejectedly, “Indeed, it’s pointless. I know your intelligence alone can crush everyone. No one’s a match for you.”
Su Binglan stood up, saying, “Since we have nothing more to discuss, I’ll take my leave. You’re a dead man anyway.”
“Wait!” After some thought, Han Yueting said anxiously, “Don’t you want to know the source of the poison that was in your brother’s body?”
Su Binglan stooped and looked down at Han Yueting. “Do you know what it is?”
Although she had cured Lan Ruozhu of his poison, she did not know the poison’s origins or if another force was involved.
Han Yueting said through gritted teeth, “l might. Still, did you plan all this from the moment you died? I’ll tell you everything if you answer my question.”
Su Binglan sighed. ‘You might not understand me even if I explained everything. You should know that I won’t compromise with you no matter what..
