With great difficulty, Su Qingyu managed to extricate herself from the Prince of Qi's place. Returning to a small room in the inner courtyard, she slammed the door shut with a "bang". Instantly, her expression turned malicious.
She thought she would die in the Prince of Qi's chamber today. Although the prince had spared her later, he humiliated her in such a way. He was truly worse than a beast.
However, as long as she still had a breath left, she would never give up hope. But this hope would definitely not be the Prince of Qi.
The Prince of Qi was already useless. A prince who couldn't have children would never be able to become the emperor. It was time for her to seek another way out. Initially, she shouldn't have submitted to the Crown Prince, which was why she was living a miserable life in the Prince of Qi's mansion now.
One day, she would surely make the Prince of Qi pay back all the suffering she had endured today a hundredfold.
As she was taking off her clothes and about to apply medicine, Su Qingyu heard some people outside the room whispering:
"Have you heard? The Prince of Cang has returned with the Princess Fubao. I heard they even rode back on the same horse."
"Does that mean they... on the way?"
The whispering maids giggled. Their words were full of envy for Su Yuanyuan. Hearing this, Su Qingyu's face darkened even more. She couldn't help but recall the scene at the Qin Banquet in the Prince of Xuan's mansion when she was bitten by a dog because of that little girl.
Humph, she wondered what was so special about that stinky girl that the Prince of Cang would protect her so much. They were both time-traveling girls, but that girl was living better and better while she was getting worse and worse. It was truly hateful!
She heard the people outside continue: "By the way, besides the Princess Fubao, the Prince of Cang also brought two other women back to the capital this time. One of them is said to be the 'Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove', who has been missing from the common people for a long time. I specifically inquired. This 'Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove' is extremely skilled in medicine. Maybe she can cure the prince's hidden illness."
"Yes. If the prince's hidden illness is cured, maybe we'll have a chance to return to the Eastern Palace."
The people outside didn't know that Su Qingyu's body suddenly trembled, and she dropped the medicine bottle in her hand.
What? The Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove?!
Almost the next moment, Su Qingyu rushed forward and opened the door.
The two maids who were chatting outside the door were startled when they suddenly saw Su Qingyu open the door.
Su Qingyu stepped forward and grabbed one of the maids' wrists. "What did you just say? Say it again. Who has come to Shengjing?"
Seeing Su Qingyu's extreme reaction, the maid was inexplicably scared and replied in a low voice: "This servant just said that the well - known 'Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove' in the common people has come to Shengjing. I heard that her medical skills are extremely superb. Maybe she can cure the prince."
However, there was no sign of joy on Su Qingyu's face. She let go of the maid, turned around and rushed into her room, slamming the door shut with a "bang".
Su Qingyu's whole body couldn't stop trembling. She didn't know if it was because of the whip wounds on her back or the news she had just learned.
"Impossible. It's absolutely impossible. How could she still be alive?"
Su Qingyu suddenly remembered something. She quickly got up and walked to the shabby cabinet, rummaging through it. She took out a small cloth bag from the depths of the cabinet and poured the contents onto the table. It could be seen that they were a pile of broken jade pieces.
"System, system? Are you still there?"
She called out in a trembling voice, but there was no reply in her ear. The system had really left her.
Su Qingyu sat on the chair, looking at the pile of broken jade in front of her. She bit the skin on her fingertip, her whole body trembling uncontrollably, and her eyes were full of panic.
She never expected that after pushing that person off the cliff, that person could actually survive.
Since the Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove was still alive, what about the other person? Could it be that the other person was also alive?
The Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove came to Shengjing with that stinky girl from the Prince of Qing's mansion. Could it be that she came for her?
Su Qingyu immediately got up and inspected her room to prevent anyone from suddenly breaking in.
However, even so, she still felt extremely uneasy. It was as if someone was secretly watching her. She sat down and tightly grasped the wound on her wrist. The intense pain forced her to calm down.
So what if the Divine Doctor of the Apricot Grove had come to Shengjing? She was now in the Prince of Qi's mansion and wouldn't go out easily. No one would recognize her. In this regard, she was safe.
Yes, that's right. As long as she stayed in the Prince of Qi's mansion well, nothing would happen!
...
In the Prince of Qing's mansion, the Banquet Hall - Bafang Tower was filled with the intoxicating smell of wine. Only the three brothers of the Su family were lying on the table, drunk and disheveled. The others had already left.
Mrs. Mo and Wei Linlang had already gone back to rest. Bai Jun had also returned to her mansion. Shu Moyun, Cang Xuan, and the three officials from the Three Judicial Departments had moved to Su Qing's study to discuss matters.
Su Yuanyuan, on the other hand, brought Wangyue, Qin Wanrong and a few other good friends back to Mingzhu Courtyard for a small gathering.
Returning to the long - missed Mingzhu Courtyard, Su Yuanyuan's maids were also extremely excited. They hugged each other and cried. This kind of relationship between the mistress and the maids also infected the others. Soon, they regained their usual laughter.
During this period, there was also an interesting incident that made everyone laugh until tears came out.
Su Yuanyuan had met an extremely smart hunting dog named Laifu on Jiutang Mountain. It showed Su Yuanyuan and Cang Xuan another way and led them out of Jiutang Mountain, making quite a contribution.
For the hunters in Linhe Village, Laifu's actions were equivalent to betrayal. Even if they let it go back, it would probably be a dead end. So Su Yuanyuan took it with her and returned to Shengjing.
However, Su Yuanyuan forgot that there were also three big black dogs - Hei Ying, Hei Ye, and Hei Feng - in the Prince of Qing's mansion!
When the three big black dogs found that there was an extra hunting dog beside Su Yuanyuan, they were extremely angry. They blocked Laifu outside the door of Mingzhu Courtyard, baring their teeth and refusing to let it in.
Laifu naturally wasn't willing to show weakness. Soon, the four dogs were entangled and fighting. The dust was flying in the courtyard of Mingzhu Courtyard. A patch of hair on Hei Ying's back was even plucked bald by Hei Ye!
Yes, it was Hei Ye!
It perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be so crazy that it even attacked its own kind!
Finally, Su Yuanyuan stepped forward to mediate. She gently stroked the heads of the dogs one by one and coaxed them well, saying that Laifu would follow Wangyue in the future. Only then did the three big black dogs show friendliness to Laifu, wagging their tails and gathering together to gnaw on the suckling pigeons that Su Yuanyuan had brought back for them.
In the young girl's boudoir, the floor heater was burning, and there was a faint fragrance in the air. Wangyue looked at the decorations, furnishings and utensils in the room, her eyes full of wonder.
Was this the treatment of the princess in the prince's mansion? Everything here looked extremely noble. Each item was priceless and would be enough for her to live a good life for a lifetime in the past.
Su Yuanyuan hadn't seen her good sisters for a long time. They all had a lot to say in their hearts. In front of the adults just now, the young girls were a bit restrained, but now they were completely relaxed. The room was as lively as a bird singing.
"Yuanbao, I clearly saw today that you rode back on the same horse with the Prince of Cang! Quickly tell us what happened between you two on the way?" Zhang Yingxue pinched Su Yuanyuan's waist and asked.
"Yes. We still remember the time when he came to propose marriage and you refused. How come, in the blink of an eye, you two have made up?" Zhuo Shu also joined in, tickling Su Yuanyuan's face and neck with a feather.
