Chapter 211 The prince is indeed surrounded by admirers!

Ye Susu's eyes were also red. "No matter what the concubine says about me, I don't care. Your Highness, please go and see the concubine. Please don't let me affect your relationship."

"She'll be fine. She's done this kind of thing many times before." Xie Shang felt guilty for hitting her. He originally wanted to chase after her, but now that he thought about it, Su Tingwan had been just as immature in the past.

Actually, he didn't expect to hit her over such a small matter. How come Su Tingwan hasn't learned her lesson after all this time?

He even wondered if he had ever truly loved Su Tingwan before. What did he like about her? He liked her innocence, liveliness, and heroic spirit. He liked that she was different from the noble ladies of Shengjing City. He thought her smile was as dazzling as the sun. But now she was completely different from the image in his mind.

She seems to have two sides; she deliberately puts on a nice side in front of him so that he will like her.

He found it ridiculous; were the years they knew each other not the real her?

Jiang Fenghua is generous, sensible, polite, and virtuous. She is also intelligent and eager to learn. Such a woman is more likely to attract his attention than Su Tingwan, who is only good at being jealous without thinking and throwing tantrums regardless of the occasion.

He increasingly realized that Su Tingwan had another side he didn't know, and that she wasn't simply being instigated to do bad things.

Seeing that his clothes were disheveled, Ye Susu said, "Your Highness's medicine has not been changed yet. If Consort Su really minds, I will go and ask Doctor Zhu to come and continue changing your medicine."

"No need. Things are the same as before." Do you think I, the king, can be controlled by a woman? He is upright and honest. If it were anyone else, it would seem as if he and Ye Susu had something going on.

When Ye Susu realized that she had really angered Su Tingwan, she thought that her maid really understood her. It was quite funny that she had such a jealous temper.

However, Prince Heng is handsome and dashing, and any woman would be attracted to him, even jealous and angry. He is very popular with women, and it would be a blessing to be his woman.

By driving away Consort Su, she would have the opportunity to spend time alone with Prince Heng and cultivate their relationship.

After changing the medicine, Ye Susu suddenly said, "Susu has something I don't know if I should say."

Xie Shang said, "Physician Ye, please speak frankly. I don't like beating around the bush."

"Actually, I heard some bad things about Consort Su. It was said by her maid, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Ye Susu continued, "I just feel that Your Highness is such a good person, Consort Su shouldn't lie to Your Highness. I'm afraid that Your Highness might suffer losses in the future."

"Tell me, what harm can she possibly cause me?" Xie Shang found it somewhat interesting. He had realized earlier that she had deliberately thrown herself into his arms. It turned out she had come prepared today; they were all cunning women.

“Consort Su was actually sold into a brothel, and we don’t know if she lost her virginity.” She explained, “Last night, Su Su saw that her maid had no clothes to wear, so she gave her some. She and I were chatting and the conversation came up unintentionally. Su Su felt that Consort Su shouldn’t lie to the prince, so she took the risk and told the prince the truth.”

Xie Shang's gaze turned slightly cold as he said calmly, "I know. I hope Physician Ye knows nothing about this matter."

Ye Susu was stunned. Didn't Prince Heng mind? If he had a relationship with Consort Su during this time and she got pregnant, it would be hard to say whose child it was.

It seems that Prince Heng truly treats Consort Su differently.

"It's Susu who's meddling." She picked up the medicine box and was about to leave, but she was still very unwilling. It had been so long, and he hadn't taken the initiative. Then she would take the initiative herself.

Xie Shang added, "I hope that Physician Ye will practice medicine well, heal the sick and save lives, and perhaps in the future she will also train some female physicians for the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is also what my queen wishes for."

Ye Susu's eyes were red, and Prince Heng was practically telling her not to try to seduce him.

She stood there, still unwilling to give up. From the first time she saw Prince Heng, she had fallen in love with him. She would never love another man in this life. She bowed respectfully and said, "I know that I am of lowly status, but I dare not forget the Prince's life-saving grace. Without the Prince, there would be no Su Su today. Su Su loves the Prince. She fell in love with the Prince when she was in Jiangnan."

Xie Shang paused, somewhat uneasy, "I am already married."

"I don't care about being a concubine, and I don't need a title. As long as I can stay by the Prince's side, even if I'm just a maid, I'll be content as long as I can see the Prince." Ye Susu spoke sincerely. She knew that if she didn't say it now, she would never have the chance again. Once she returned to Shengjing, it was uncertain whether she would even be able to see Prince Heng.

Her cheeks were flushed, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

At this moment, Lin Feng suddenly walked in. "Your Highness, it's time for us to set off." Lianye had sent him a message, asking him to keep an eye on the prince, apparently because she was afraid the prince would be unfaithful.

The prince is indeed surrounded by admirers!

Xie Shang coughed awkwardly, "Send Physician Ye back, give the orders, and set off once everything is ready."

"Please come, Physician Ye. The physicians are all waiting. His Majesty will reward them for their merits after we return to the capital." This meant that she shouldn't be foolish and let Ye Susu become the prince's concubine. How would he explain this to the princess when he got back?

"Susu can go back by herself, there's no need to trouble Guard Lin to escort her." Ye Susu didn't linger, bowed, and left the tent.

As soon as she left, Lin Feng reminded her, "It's been several months since I last saw you. Your Highness must be quite pregnant by now." He meant that Your Highness shouldn't forget what you promised the princess when you left, and that bringing a woman back with you would likely upset her.

Xie Shang glared at him coldly, "You talk too much." Luckily, Lin Feng came in, otherwise…

Lin Feng whispered again, "Your Highness, I discovered that someone from the Su family left. I wonder if they went to investigate the bandits. I also overheard some of what Physician Ye said earlier. I didn't expect that Consort Su was hiding something from Your Highness."

Xie Shang thought to himself: Su Tingwan actually concealed the fact that she had been to a brothel, so is she really not innocent?

He said, "Ye Susu knows, so the Su family can't possibly not know. Keep an eye on things on the way and protect Ye Susu's safety."

Could it be that the prince really likes Ye Susu?

Lin Feng wanted to say something, but he was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he pretended to be dead.

"It's not what you think. Since Su Tingwan intends to hide it, she won't let anyone know." He was afraid that the Su family would resort to desperate measures, so this time when he went to the border, he not only fought but also secretly investigated the Su family's embezzlement of military funds.

Some evidence was found, but the source was not traced, indicating that the Su family had been prepared for this. The Su clan's work in guarding the border was indeed arduous. Without conclusive evidence, the Su family cannot be shaken.

"This humble servant didn't think anything of it, and I hope Your Highness won't overthink it." After saying that, he left the tent.
