Chapter 371 I Will Take You Out
Yu Wan was startled and almost thought that Su Qingchan in front of her was already dead...
"Qingchan!"
Yu Wan lowered her voice and let out a soft cry.
Su Qingchan seemed to sense someone approaching, and her tightly closed eyes trembled a few times.
She slowly opened her eyes.
Upon seeing Yu Wan, a flicker of joy crossed her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by pain and fear. "Yu...Sister...you can't come here..."
She managed to utter a few words, her voice hoarse like a broken bellows.
Yu Wan never imagined that Su Qingchan would become like this in just a few days.
She noticed the bruises on Su Qingchan's neck with her sharp eyes, her heart skipped a beat, and ignoring Su Qingchan's words, she pulled off the blankets covering Su Qingchan.
After pulling back the covers, Yu Wan gasped.
Su Qingchan's originally fair skin was now covered with bruises and scars of varying depths.
On her left arm, a long whip mark snaked from her shoulder to her wrist. The skin at the whip mark was swollen and a horrifying purplish-red color. In some places, the skin had even broken open, oozing traces of blood.
Such injuries are found almost all over his body.
What shocked and angered Yu Wan the most was that Su Qingchan's right arm was in a strangely bent position, clearly indicating that it was broken.
Yu Wan couldn't help but tremble. She cautiously reached out, wanting to touch Su Qingchan's arm, but was afraid of aggravating her pain.
His hand froze in mid-air, hesitant to bring it down.
"Qingchan, what... what exactly happened?"
Her voice sounded as if it were being squeezed out of her throat.
Su Qingchan looked at her, a smile appearing on her lips, "Sister Yu, I'm fine..."
Her eyes shone as she looked at Yu Wan, as if Yu Wan was the person she most wanted to see at that moment.
For the first time, Yu Wan felt a tightness in her chest.
She didn't even realize she was crying, and she said through gritted teeth, "Was it that bastard Li Xuan who did it?!"
Su Qingchan remained silent, only looking at Yu Wan with her smile unchanged.
"I thought I'd never see you again, Sister Yu..."
Yu Wan felt a surge of anger rush to her head.
There was also self-blame.
She knew perfectly well that Li Xuan wasn't human, that he was a beast, so how could she still agree to Su Qingchan's plan?!
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, leaving deep marks, without even noticing.
"I'll take you away today!"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingchan's smile instantly turned into panic, and she hurriedly refused, "No, no, it's not the right time yet..."
These words seemed to have drained all her strength; her breath grew weaker. "Sister, don't worry about me, you should leave quickly. The Prince Yong's mansion is heavily guarded. How did you get in? Don't let the Prince Yong's men find you... that person..."
As Su Qingchan spoke, her whole body trembled slightly.
It was only in the last few days that she learned that Prince Yong had taken a liking to Yu Wan.
He even transferred some of his resentment at not being able to have Yu Wan onto her, and intensified his abuse of her.
She didn't blame Yu Wan; she was only worried that Yu Wan would fall into the hands of Prince Yong.
Prince Yong's hatred for Yu Wan is as stubborn as snow that has never melted over the years. Once he discovers that Yu Wan is in Prince Yong's mansion, Yu Wan will suffer even more terrible torment than he himself.
Su Qingchan forced herself to stay awake, her eyes filled with pleading, "Sister, please leave, don't worry about me..."
Yu Wan, unaware of Su Qingchan's worries, remained unmoved.
Even if she knew, she wouldn't let Su Qingchan stay in the Yong Prince's Mansion.
Prince Yong is not coming back this time, so no one can continue to torment Su Qingchan, but Su Qingchan's injuries must receive the best treatment.
She had too many whip marks on her body, some of which were already red, swollen, and filled with pus. If they became inflamed and caused a high fever, they could kill Su Qingchan at any time.
Yu Wan wiped away the tears that had fallen on her face without her noticing, covered Su Qingchan with a blanket, and whispered to her, "Wait for me, I will definitely take you out today."
At this moment, she was glad that she hadn't tried to sneak into Prince Yong's mansion herself, but instead sought help from Princess Changning.
With Princess Changning here, she will definitely take Su Qingchan out today!
Yu Wan hurriedly returned to the garden in the backyard.
Princess Changning was still pretending to stroll leisurely through the garden when Yu Wan seized the opportunity and quickly returned to Princess Changning's side when no one was paying attention.
Princess Changning quickly leaned closer and whispered, "How is it?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked up at Yu Wan, and noticed that Yu Wan's eyes were red, as if she had been crying.
Princess Changning's expression changed, and she asked again, "What happened?"
Yu Wan closed her eyes, suppressing the surging anger and guilt in her heart, and whispered, "She was tortured beyond recognition by Prince Yong."
Princess Changning's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing Yu Wan's words.
"Li Xuan, he really is..."
She simply couldn't say the rest.
Princess Changning took a deep breath, looked at Yu Wan, and asked in a very low voice, "Sister Yu, what do you plan to do now?"
Yu Wan raised her eyes and met Princess Changning's gaze, saying slowly and deliberately, "Take her out."
Princess Changning frowned, her face showing worry: "Li Xuan left many guards in the manor, and Su Qingchan came to the Yong Prince's manor on her own initiative. It will probably not be easy for us to take her away."
Yu Wan knew it wouldn't be easy. She met Princess Changning's gaze, her eyes deep and cold. "So we still need the princess's help to make this matter bigger."
……
The sky was a clear, bright blue, and the warm sun shone down.
Princess Changning was getting a little tired from walking around, so she directly summoned the steward of the Prince's mansion, saying, "I'm getting a little bored playing by myself. I remember there are quite a few beauties in Ninth Brother's mansion. Please call them all out to keep me company."
The steward of Prince Yong's mansion was promoted by Prince Yong after the deaths of Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong.
He was also a servant of the Prince Yong's household, named Liu Qing.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qing's heart skipped a beat.
He felt uneasy when he learned that Princess Changning, this little devil, had come to the palace, and now, hearing her words, he was even more anxious.
But he dared not show the slightest abnormality on his face, and quickly said with a forced smile, "Those women are of lowly status, how could they be qualified to enjoy themselves with Her Highness the Princess?"
"If Your Highness is truly bored, I will immediately invite some noble ladies to your residence to keep you company."
Liu Qing said these words because he was certain that Princess Changning would not agree.
Firstly, he knew very well that Princess Changning had never liked to play with the noble ladies of Shengjing City.
Secondly, Princess Changning had to consider that this was not her own princess residence, but the residence of Prince Yong, and besides, Prince Yong, the master of the house, was not even in the residence.
He thought he had anticipated everything, but to his surprise, Princess Changning's next words left him speechless.
“Alright, then quickly send people to each prefecture to deliver invitations and tell them to come over immediately.”
Liu Qing's eyes widened, and the smile on her face instantly froze.
"This this--"
Princess Changning frowned when she saw his hesitation. "What, are you just trying to fool me?!"
