Chapter 110: A Monk
Chapter 110: A Monk
The eldest princess' words revealed a sense of helplessness, but also made her position clear.
Although Su Yi was unwilling, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and thank the princess together with Su Rao.
Afterwards, the imperial physician hurried over, carefully examined Su Rao's injuries, and carefully repositioned her dislocated arm.
At that moment, Su Rao almost fainted from the pain, but as the treatment was completed, the pain gradually dissipated and her arm returned to normal.
After the imperial physician left, the eldest princess led a group of ladies and left the scene in a grand manner, leaving only Huo Chengjun at the end, who gave Su Rao a meaningful sneer.
Su Rao responded with a faint smile, but she had secretly vowed in her heart that she would make Huo Chengjun pay the price for today's humiliation.
Su Yi supported Su Rao and slowly returned to her residence. As soon as the door closed, her expression changed from strong to worried: "Rao'er, what happened? How did you get out of such a predicament?"
Su Rao sighed lightly and said slowly: "Sister, what I said was actually half true and half false. There was indeed a monk who tried to do something bad to me, but I stabbed him with the hairpin I carried with me, and he escaped with the wound. I was worried that he would come back for revenge, so I hid myself, and at the same time I was thinking about the mastermind behind this."
Su Yi listened to her sister's narration, feeling both shocked and pity. It was not easy for a weak woman to save herself in such a crisis.
"It's such a blessing, such a blessing." Su Yi murmured to himself, still feeling a little scared in his heart.
Su Rao continued, "It's obvious that Huo Chengjun was behind all this, and those noble ladies, in order to protect her, even went so far as to confuse right and wrong. Even the eldest princess seemed to have been deceived."
Su Yi hugged Su Rao tightly and said distressedly: "Rao'er, you have suffered. Those people fawned on the powerful, and the princess was also blinded."
Su Rao originally thought that the eldest princess was just deceived by Huo Chengjun's appearance, but today's events made her realize that the eldest princess's protection of Huo Chengjun was not that simple, and there seemed to be a deeper conflict of interest.
The eldest princess and the King of Qi are on the same path, and his idea of relying on the eldest princess to find a second support seems too naive.
But Su Rao is not someone who gives up easily...
"Sister, there may be a deeper secret behind the eldest princess being deceived. Do you know why she is so partial to Huo Chengjun?" Su Rao's eyes were determined. She wanted to uncover the truth behind all this and seek justice for herself.
Su Yi frowned slightly, revealing a bit of worry: "I heard that this matter seems to be related to the daughter of the noble Princess Changle, the beloved Princess Changle."
Princess Changle?
These four words seem to have a halo of their own, making people think of the princess who is said to be the most beloved one in the world.
"I remember that year, Princess Changle was accidentally poisoned, and the imperial doctors in the palace were helpless. It was Madam Huo who invited a master known as a 'miracle doctor' from the folk who was able to save the princess' life. The princess therefore holds Madam Huo in high regard. Perhaps, this is out of gratitude for Madam Huo's life-saving grace." The person who spoke had a hint of emotion in his tone.
It turns out that Princess Changle's position in the eldest princess' heart is incomparable, and Mrs. Huo cleverly uses this emotion.
It seems that trying to solve the problem through the eldest princess is undoubtedly not feasible.
As night fell, Su Rao and Su Yi had dinner together.
After dinner, Su Rao returned to her quiet courtyard alone.
She skillfully weaves a half-true, half-false story about the escape she shares with Su Yi.
In reality, the dangers she encountered were far more horrific than could be described in words.
That's because she was facing two desperate desperadoes who were at the end of their rope.
Fortunately, she has an ace in her hand - Bai Ze.
At the most critical moment, Bai Ze appeared like a guardian angel and quietly dealt with the two thugs.
Although Bai Ze was not good at martial arts, at the critical moment, he used his wisdom and took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to cleverly knock the two men unconscious.
At this moment, those two unlucky guys are probably trapped in some unknown corner...
The corners of Su Rao's mouth rose slightly, and a barely perceptible smile quietly blossomed.
……
Mrs. Huo stepped into the room and saw that it was in a mess. She carefully avoided the debris on the ground and her eyes finally fell on the angry Huo Chengjun.
"Chengjun, you've smashed almost everything in the room. You should have calmed down by now. Don't be angry anymore." There was a hint of helplessness in Mrs. Huo's gentle words.
"Mom, what's going on? My plan was obviously foolproof, but when I opened the door, only that shameless guy was left!" Huo Chengjun was full of doubts. Where did the people she carefully arranged go?
As long as the man can be found in the room, Su Rao's reputation will be completely ruined and she will become the object of everyone's contempt!
She was just a little bit away from avenging her previous humiliation.
"Chengjun, didn't mother tell you? Don't be anxious. Wait until your cousin is ready, and then you can teach him a lesson however you want." Mrs. Huo advised patiently.
Huo Chengjun puffed out his cheeks, obviously unable to wait.
"Chengjun, this is a Buddhist holy land. Don't cause any more trouble, or you will end up losing more than you gain." Mrs. Huo continued to persuade.
Huo Chengjun did not respond, with resentment flickering in his eyes.
"Chengjun, be obedient." Mrs. Huo's tone became more firm.
Huo Chengjun nodded reluctantly, but deep down she was not convinced.
After Mrs. Huo left, Huo Chengjun lay on the bed, thinking over and over again about those subordinates who disappeared without a trace.
In a trance, Huo Chengjun felt as if there were two more people around him.
The two men were initially in a coma, but then slowly woke up.
"hot……"
The two men approached Huo Chengjun at the same time and began to pull at her clothes.
Huo Chengjun suddenly woke up and found herself being held down by two strange men. Fear and panic made her scream instantly.
When the maids heard the noise, they rushed into the house and were stunned by the scene before them.
Huo Chengjun was entangled with two men, one of whom was actually a monk!
"What are you still standing there for? Pull them apart!" Huo Chengjun shouted at the top of his lungs.
The maids rushed forward and tried to pull the two men apart. However, the two men were extremely strong and easily broke free from the maids' restraints and pounced on Huo Chengjun again.
The maids tried their best to hold them, but the two men turned around and made moves on the maids.
The house suddenly fell into chaos, with screams and crying mixed together. It was not until Mrs. Huo and her men broke in that the commotion was finally calmed down.
Although Huo Chengjun was usually spoiled, she was still a young girl who had not experienced the world after all. She was terribly frightened at the moment and threw herself into Mrs. Huo's arms, tears falling like pearls from a broken string.
Mrs. Huo comforted him distressedly: "Don't be afraid, mother is here."
