Chapter 137: Reporting to the authorities

After running for an unknown amount of time, Su Shengsheng finally felt exhausted and staggered out of the dark alley into the bustling street.

In an instant, the pedestrians around were attracted by this scene and gathered around in surprise.

Su Shengsheng collapsed to the ground, panting. Seeing that there were no pursuers behind her, she quickly asked for help from the onlookers.

"That wicked thief, Fan Wenchang, raped me. I beg you, fellow villagers, to lend a hand and report me to the authorities to apprehend the culprit. My elder sister risked her life to stop him with her maid to protect me. Now her life or death is uncertain. I beg you to help save her..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"How could such an arrogant villain exist in broad daylight!" an old man said indignantly.

There was also a kind woman who came forward, took off her cloak, and gently draped it over Su Shengsheng, saying gently, "Don't worry, young lady. We will not let that evil thief escape."

Just as everyone was preparing to split up to find the evil thief and report to the police, the sound of frightened horses suddenly came from the street, heading straight towards this side.

Su Shengsheng looked up and saw that the person leading the group was actually Xie Xuan.

She felt relieved, and her body, which had long been unable to support itself, slid down softly.

Under the influence of the drug, his consciousness was swallowed by overwhelming darkness and powerlessness...

The sound of startled horses...

Xie Xuan held Su Shengsheng tightly in his arms with trembling hands, his voice full of self-blame: "It's okay, I'm here, it's okay..."

He shouldn't have been so concerned. He should have protected her long ago and never let outsiders hurt her again.

"Ningyu and the others..." Even though she was in hell, Su Shengsheng still tried her best to retain a trace of willpower.

"They're fine..." Xie Xuan held her tightly, "I won't let anyone who dares to hurt you go."

When Su Shengsheng heard that they were fine, her consciousness had completely fallen into darkness.

…

Pharmacy

"Miss Su was already suffering from a cold, and now she's been exposed to such a strong drug as Qianhunyin. The cold and heat are colliding with each other, and it feels like a thousand ants are biting her body."

While Bai Shuo was busy preparing the medicine, he also had to explain to King Xuanming, who had a murderous look on his face, why he could not give her the medicine.

Xie Xuan looked at Su Shengsheng in his arms, seeing her face turning red and white, in great pain, and he felt hatred in his heart, "What should I do?"

"Now we can only fumigate the medicine and penetrate the skin with external force to gradually relieve the pain."

This Thousand Souls Attraction is used by sinister people to force women into submission.

Although there is no antidote, it can be relieved by soaking in cold water.

But Su Shengsheng had just escaped from icy water, and the cold poison in her body had not yet been cleared. If she were to be subjected to such a sudden change of cold and heat...

Even if he is rescued, I am afraid he will not be half alive.

If she doesn't want to suffer from illness for the rest of her life, she can only bear it.

After Bai Shuo prepared the medicine, he saw Xie Xuan still lying on the couch and refused to leave, so he called his younger sister Bai Ping over.

"Thank you, General. Miss Su's outer clothes must be completely removed so that the medicine can slowly penetrate into her internal organs."

After hearing this, Xie Xuan had no choice but to put Su Shengsheng down carefully, "I'm just outside."

Bai Ping walked up to Su Shengsheng and was a little surprised to see Xie Xuan just stepping out from behind the screen.

She looked at Bai Shuo again, "Brother."

Bai Shuo just glanced back and poured the medicine in his hand into the incense burner.

Then he told his sister one by one the acupuncture points that needed to be performed.

As the medicinal effect gradually spread, Bai Shuo also retreated.

Bai Ping gently took off Su Shengsheng's clothes, revealing the frostbite on her body that had not yet healed.

She couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder my brother likes you so much. The way you put it together, you really don't consider yourself a woman at all."

At this moment, Su Shengsheng's fingers moved slightly, as if she was struggling powerlessly against the pain that was like a mountain pressing down on her head.

However, she seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and could only drift with the current like a leaf of duckweed...

After a while, Chu Zhao came hurriedly.

"General, we intercepted Fan Wenchang on his way to Yunzhou. The masked men all committed suicide, but Fan Wenchang only admitted to colluding with Xiaolou and refused to admit to arson. I have brought him back."

Chu Zhao knew very well that Xie Xuan would definitely deal with him personally.

During this operation, they clearly took every level of protection and did not slack off at all.

However, there is always a loophole. They did not anticipate that Su Shengsheng's fourth sister would collude with the outside world and harm her own sisters.

Chu Zhao knelt down in an instant, "Please punish me, General."

"Do you think that I am in the mood to deal with you now?" Xie Xuan's gaze passed through the screen partition, his eyes full of regret and self-blame.

"Red Building and Xiao Building are completely sealed. I don't want to see the people involved again."

The sound of blood splashing made Chu Zhao shiver, "Yes."

…

In the dim and gloomy prison cell, Fan Wenchang looked at Xie Xuan in horror as he suddenly appeared before him like a ghost.

"Prince...Prince..." He was so scared that he almost lost his voice.

The dim light prevented him from seeing the expression on Xie Xuan's face, but the strong murderous intent emanating from Xie Xuan made him feel suffocated.

"You...what do you want to do?" Although Fan Wenchang's brain was not very bright, he finally understood at this moment that the rumors from the outside world were not groundless.

Xie Xuan and Su Shengsheng really have an affair!

He didn't dare to touch Xie Xuan's weak spot at this critical moment, so he could only stammer, "I... I really didn't know that Su Shengsheng was the prince's woman. If I had known earlier..."

Xie Xuan walked out of the darkness, slowly raised his cold and deep phoenix pupils, his eyes overflowing with murderous intent, like a Shura from the underworld.

Fan Wenchang's words were abruptly cut off. He shuddered and shrank back, "My father is a transport envoy, and my grandfather is an official appointed by the imperial court. You can't touch me! Even if you are a prince, you have no right to interrogate me..."

However, under Xie Xuan's cold gaze, he could no longer speak.

Xie Xuan's lips curled up into a bloodthirsty smile, "If you confess the truth, I can promise not to implicate your family."

Fan Wenchang stiffened his neck and said, "I told you, I didn't start the fire. Your Majesty, you can't just…"

His voice stopped abruptly.

His eyes rolled around blankly for a few times, and when he felt a cold, bleeding sensation on his neck, he widened his eyes in disbelief.

"You'd better tell the truth..." Xie Xuan's voice echoed in the prison.

…

The condition that had stabilized suddenly returned with a vengeance, and even Bai Shuo, a skilled doctor, was caught off guard.

"Sister, go get the ancestral cold jade."

When Bai Ping heard this, she was stunned, "Brother, but..."

The cold jade that Bai Shuo mentioned was not real jade, but a variety of rare and precious herbs contained in the ice that had been frozen for thousands of years.

It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Bai family and is said to have miraculous effects of bringing the dead back to life.

It condenses into a warm form like ice jade. Although it exudes a cool breath, it can eliminate heat toxins as gently and effectively as real cold jade.

"Medicine, isn't it used to save people? Go get it quickly." Bai Shuo didn't hesitate at all. His eyes were fixed on Su Shengsheng, who was covered with bedding but still shivering on the bed.

There was a hint of reluctance in his springy voice, "She's worth it."

Bai Ping looked back at Su Shengsheng, who was shaking and sweating on the couch, and finally gritted her teeth and turned away.

Su Shengsheng wandered in the interweaving of ice and flames. She looked around but could not see anyone.

Is she dead?

Why does death still hurt so much? If there really is a Yama King, could you please ask them to remember to give her Meng Po soup this time?

"Su Shengsheng..."

Who is it?

Who is calling her?

Su Shengsheng turned around, but didn't see anyone.

She wanted to move forward, but the voice kept calling her.
