Chapter 228 Ye Susu is doomed

Just then, the maidservant outside the door returned and said, "Madam, the clothes have been brought."

Su Xuan released her throat with his fingers, but his hand wandered inside her clothes. "Watch your words, or you'll lose your wealth and status."

Ye Susu dared not move an inch, enduring Su Xuan's teasing. She calmed herself down and replied, "Wait outside. I'll be right back. The clothes are a bit complicated, so I'll be a little slow."

"Let me help you, Madam!"

"No need, I'm not used to having others help me, I can do it myself." Her voice softened.

At this moment, the shopkeeper also came over and said, "Our shop is having a discount today. Why don't you two ladies come and pick out a couple of outfits? I'll give you a discount and won't make any money off you."

Baolan shook her head, "No need."

Qingzhu was somewhat tempted. The clothes here were so beautiful. Who wouldn't want to wear pretty clothes? They were all going to get married and wouldn't be maids for life. When the Crown Prince and Crown Princess entered the palace, they wouldn't be palace maids and wouldn't go with them. "Sister Baolan, let's take a look together! These clothes are so beautiful! Buy one and wear it back for your Langge to see. He'll definitely like it."

The wages at the Prince's mansion were quite substantial, and the masters were very generous. They had saved a lot of money and could afford to buy even a simpler item.

Baolan then called inside, "Madam, are you ready?"

"Hand me the clothes, I'll try them on one by one," Ye Susu said, obeying Su Xuan's instructions.

Baolan handed in the other three sets of clothes. The curtain was half-open, and there was nothing unusual inside, so she followed Qingzhu to look at the clothes.

In the fitting room, Ye Susu whispered, "What do you want from me? Tell me quickly, or we'll both be finished if we're found out. General Su doesn't want to be accused of seducing the Crown Prince's concubine, does he?"

"Doctor Ye is quite clever, and I like clever women." Su Xuan lifted her chin, looked at her alluring lips, and couldn't help but kiss her.

He also tried his best to tease her, prying open her lips for a passionate kiss. Ye Susu was furious. It was her first kiss. Xie Shang hadn't even kissed her once when they had sex. She knew she was just Xie Shang's antidote.

But what is Su Xuan doing?

The more she tried to avoid him, the more excited he became. He wanted to get involved with Ye Susu, make her work for him, and keep her under his control. That was his purpose in helping her.

He refrained from touching her the whole way; he had been planning this for so long, waiting for this day.

Ye Susu bit his lip until it bled, and only then did he release her.

Her eyes were red. "What do you want to do? I am the Crown Prince's woman, and the maids outside are my servants. If I shout, people will know that the dignified General is bullying a respectable woman. You won't get away with it either."

“My people are everywhere, inside and out, so shout all you want!” Su Xuan said with a smile. “Even if it goes to the Emperor’s door, I’ll just say that you and I were in love when we were at the border, and that His Highness the Crown Prince stole you away. I’m just asking you for an explanation. Let’s see if the Emperor punishes me or is completely disappointed in you, Physician Ye, who has rendered meritorious service. His Highness the Crown Prince probably doesn’t like things that have been touched by others.”

"You... are despicable and shameless."

“We’re the same. If you weren’t despicable and shameless, would you have gone after Xie Shang? If you weren’t greedy, you wouldn’t have come in to try on clothes, and I wouldn’t have succeeded. Don’t think of yourself as so noble. We’re the same kind of people.” Su Xuan pinched her cheek. “I like you just the way you are.”

"I never expected General Su to be such a treacherous villain." Her thoughts had been exposed, and Ye Susu's chest heaved with anger. "Don't touch me, or I'll kill you."

Su Xuan had finally gotten this opportunity, how could he let her go? "Don't scream, I won't be responsible for cleaning up the mess if you attract people. Have you thought about whether you want this general dead?"

Ye Susu was terrified. She dared not utter a sound, nor could she kill him. "What do you want? What do you need me to do for you? Assassinating the Crown Princess to help Consort Su regain the Emperor's favor? I can't do that, because His Highness the Crown Prince has already placed her under house arrest. No one knows whether she's alive or dead right now."

"If you can kill Jiang Fenghua, I will help you ascend to the throne of Empress. Do you have that ability?" Su Xuan asked.

“If she were so easy to kill, Consort Su would have been killed long ago.”

Ye Susu was self-aware enough to only want to stay in her position and plan for the future. During her time living in the Prince Heng's mansion, she knew that she wanted much more than this. However, the Crown Prince was in the palace all day long, and even the Crown Princess could not see him, let alone her.

"This little beauty is very clever." Su Xuan was growing more and more fond of her, and he felt a little regretful that Xie Shang had gotten this advantage.

"Xie Shang doesn't like you, does he? I heard you've always been neglected by him." Su Xuan teased her. "Come with me, and all the clothes in this shop are yours, and you can choose any jewelry on this street. Xie Shang will only be nice to the women he likes. He can't give you what you want, but I can."

Ye Susu said, "I am already his woman, you're dreaming."

"You think sleeping with someone makes you his woman? Who told you that nonsense? All the women in the palace slept with the emperor once, but afterwards they slept with eunuchs and guards countless times. Who do you think they are?" Seeing that she didn't refuse, Su Xuan continued to seduce her until she unconsciously let out a muffled sound.

"You're talking nonsense." Ye Susu was pinned down by him. She just wanted to run away, but he was too strong. "What do you want from me to let me go?"

"Sleep with me, and I'll take you to a passionate encounter. It'll definitely be gentler than Xie Shang's treatment of you."

"No, my maid is still outside."

"Don't worry, someone will take care of them."

"Su Xuan, let me go, I..." Ye Susu gritted her teeth, not daring to make a sound so that the maids outside could hear her. "I beg you, let me go. I'll do anything you ask, just please let me go." She wanted to calm him down before escaping.

But Su Xuan was a master of romance, and he could easily see through her thoughts. He pinned her against the wall and gently moved his hands down her earlobe. "I like you. I liked you back in the borderlands, Su Su. Come with me. I'll plead with the prince for you. He won't love you, but I will."

"You're dreaming." Ye Susu was going to marry a prince. In the future, she would be the crown prince's woman, and even more so, the emperor's woman. She could never be with Su Xuan. She tried to push him away but felt weak all over.

Su Xuan, however, wanted to torment her, saying, "You're stubborn, so I'll make you beg me to love you."

Ye Susu was an important pawn in his game, so he had to get her and make her miss him.

Su Xuan suddenly stopped what he was doing. "If you don't agree, I can stay here with you for a whole day. I have plenty of time. But your maids might not have as much time. Have you thought it through? I really like you and I respect your decision."
