Chapter 214 Su Xuan's Scheme

Subsequently, the army was fully prepared and slowly made its way towards Shengjing. Su Tingwan and Xie Shang rode together in a carriage back to the capital.

She was much more obedient now, and didn't cause any trouble along the way. She served tea and water, behaving like a well-behaved little lamb. She was still afraid of being kicked out by Xie Shang, so she didn't dare to cause any more trouble. Fortunately, she had her father and older brother to back her up, so Xie Shang didn't let her leave.

She temporarily suppressed her dream of becoming empress.

She actually wanted to explain that she was innocent, but the more she explained, the worse it would get, and it would only make him angry. So she simply said nothing. If Xie Shang didn't ask, she would just keep quiet.

Besides, Xie Shang might not know yet, so there's no need for her to incriminate herself and cause further trouble.

At the same time, Yinxing also escaped from Aunt Liu's place, and she planned to take Ye Susu with her.

When she found Ye Susu, Ye Susu was preparing to set off with her companions.

Ye Susu saw her and deliberately asked, "Ginkgo Girl, what brings you here? What happened to you?"

At that moment, the person accompanying her called out, "Miss Ye is gone."

Ye Susu said, "You guys go first, I'll be right there." She thought Yinxing had something to say to her, so she sent the others away and stayed alone.

Yinxing pulled her aside and said, "Doctor Ye, come with me and run away. You won't survive if you fall into the hands of the eldest young master. They want to harm you."

Ye Susu had finally reached Prince Heng's side, how could she possibly leave? Seeing how badly she had been beaten, she said, "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I leave? Consort Su deceived the prince, she's the one who should leave. In broad daylight, do those Su people dare to cover up everything? Yinxing, don't be afraid, the prince already knows about Consort Su's deception. I'll take you to the prince, you can tell him what happened, and no one will dare to hit you again."

Ye Susu was too naive; she thought that with Prince Heng around, the Su family wouldn't dare to touch her.

She then applied the medicine to the ginkgo seeds, saying, "This medicine will relieve the pain. Here you go."

Ginkgo was moved to tears. "No one has ever been so kind to me in my life, Dr. Ye. You are kind-hearted and do not know how terrifying the Su family is. You are powerless and have no way to fight them. Go now."

"I'll take you to see the Prince." Ye Susu took her hand.

Soon, the Su family arrived. "Stop!"

"What do you want to do?" Ye Susu asked.

The man said, "She stole something, she stole Aunt Liu's jewelry and tried to escape, but we finally caught her."

"I didn't steal anything, nor did I steal anything from Aunt Liu," Ginkgo quickly denied.

The man grabbed her and found a gold hairpin on her person. "You still say you didn't steal it? Look what this is!"

Ginkgo was also dumbfounded, "I don't know when I got this thing on me."

Ye Susu also sensed something was wrong, but by the time they realized it, it was too late. She secretly regretted that she should have left with the doctors earlier.

Ye Susu forced herself to remain calm and boldly said, "Ginkgo Girl stole your things, you can report her to the authorities and have her arrested. His Highness Prince Heng is also here, you can go and ask the Prince to uphold justice."

She was about to leave when someone stopped her. "The prince's carriage has already left. What else does Physician Ye want? To seduce the prince?"

The newcomers were utterly impolite; after all, the eldest young master had already given the order, and this woman was theirs.

"A mere female physician dares to harbor thoughts of climbing the social ladder? Why don't you serve us brothers well first, and then go serve the prince?" The soldier began to grope him.

"I am a female physician selected by the imperial court. The emperor has issued an imperial decree that I must return to the capital to receive my reward and report back. If anything happens to me, you will all lose your heads," Ye Susu threatened them.

The soldiers were stunned. Ye Susu thought they were frightened and didn't dare to come forward, so she just left. At this moment, a soldier suddenly hugged her and led her to a secluded place. "There are so many doctors, what difference does it make if there is one more or one less? Anyway, you seduced us. Doctor Ye couldn't stand the loneliness and seduced us. How could we men resist?"

They wanted to force themselves on her, saying, "You're just a lowly female doctor. Do you think you're some kind of empress in the palace? The emperor wants to reward you, but you don't even know what kind of person you are. Do you think you're worthy of being called an empress?"

Ye Susu was terrified and retreated repeatedly. "What are you going to do? Don't do anything rash, or His Highness Prince Heng will not let you off. I am Prince Heng's woman." She thought that saying this would scare them.

"You finally admit you seduced the prince, but the prince has to be interested in you first!"

Meanwhile, Lin Feng and his men hid in the shadows. He gripped his sword tightly. Why hadn't Su Xuan arrived yet? The prince said he would only act after obtaining evidence against the Su family. Ye Susu and Yinxing were merely bait.

Unexpectedly, Su Xuan was so cautious that he didn't take action himself, but only sent a few soldiers.

Just when Ye Susu was at her most desperate, he gave the order, "Go!"

Soon, Lin Feng and his men rushed out and quickly knocked the men to the ground. "Take them away."

Ye Susu's clothes were disheveled. She looked at Lin Feng, and tears instantly streamed down her face. "Guard Lin."

Yinxing, having been rescued, ran to Lin Feng crying, "Waaah... Lin Feng, you came to save me, waaah... you really came to save me."

Lin Feng stopped her, his eyes full of disdain, "Stop crying, go and say what you have to say to the prince!"

Ginkgo felt wronged and continued to cry. Lin Feng sneered, "Stop crying, or I'll cut out your tongue."

Ginkgo was immediately startled and shut her mouth.

-

Lin Feng brought the person to Xie Shang, who then deliberately asked, "What happened?"

Five soldiers were bound hand and foot and forced to kneel on the ground, not daring to raise their heads.

"When I arrived, they were about to bully Physician Ye and Ginkgo," Lin Feng said.

At this moment, Su Xuan and Su Dehai also rushed over. Su Xuan kicked a soldier and said, "Is what Guard Lin said true? You are soldiers trained by me, Su Xuan. You are Su family soldiers. You have been on the battlefield and fought the enemy. You have risked your lives to protect your homeland. How could you do such a thing? Are you disgracing yourselves or disgracing me, Su Xuan?"

“General, she seduced us. How could we tolerate her seduction?” one of them said.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't seduce you!" Ye Susu was extremely aggrieved. "Your Highness, please believe me, I didn't. They suddenly rushed out and tried to do something indecent to us. Fortunately, Guard Lin arrived in time and prevented them from succeeding." How could they possibly resist a few ruffians?

"It was Consort Su who wanted to kill her to silence her, fearing that her shameful deeds would be discovered." Ye Susu pointed in Su Tingwan's direction.

"What does this have to do with me?" Su Tingwan asked, feigning ignorance.

"Ginkgo, tell me everything you know," Ye Susu said to Ginkgo.
