Chapter 341 The Secret in the Box
Yu Shengsheng was so angry that she was shaking all over. She wished she could go back right now and beat Su Zhiyi up.
When Doctor Cui saw her like this, he was also shocked. Knowing that he was in the wrong, he shrank back.
"Princess, this matter has nothing to do with me. It's Princess Rongyang... I can't do anything about it. I dare not disobey her."
Yu Shengsheng suppressed his anger and said, "Keep talking."
"It's really gone, Princess. I'm just a doctor, and the Su Mansion has a palace doctor. I can't go there too often."
Yu Shengsheng chuckled, her smile as cold as water: "Besides being with Su Zhiyi? What have you done?"
Doctor Cui avoided her gaze, lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Hu came forward with a knife in hand, and Doctor Cui turned pale with fright.
"I'm telling you, the old man from the Li family in the west of the city could have been saved, but...his eldest son said that he was dying anyway, so it would be better for him to die sooner so that the family property could be divided up as soon as possible."
Green Lake angrily asked, "So what? You drugged the patient and made him die?"
"I……"
"Keep going!"
"The Zhao family..."
Doctor Cui said something else, and Yu Shengsheng took notes with a pen and paper, and finally asked him to sign.
Doctor Cui didn't want to, but he didn't dare to resist.
"Princess, I have said everything, can you let me go?"
Yu Shengsheng moved the candle on the table back, and the small box that was originally in the shadow appeared in the light.
She tapped the box gently: "What is this? Tell me."
Doctor Cui's eyes suddenly widened and he collapsed to the ground.
"Green Lake, take the key."
Lu Hu had noticed the small brocade bag on his waist a long time ago. It made sounds when he moved. He reached out and grabbed it, and sure enough, there was a key.
When he opened the small box, Yu Shengsheng raised his eyebrows at the valuables inside.
The small box is not big, but it is full of jewels.
She flipped through the pages casually, not showing much interest in them. She glanced inadvertently and saw that Doctor Cui's eyes were fixed on her hand.
Um?
It seems that he is not afraid of losing these properties. What is he afraid of?
Yu Shengsheng continued to flip through the pages, and sure enough, Doctor Cui’s expression became even uglier.
I turned it over again, all the way to the bottom, and there was nothing.
Doctor Cui lowered his eyes and said, "Princess, this is what I saved... I also got it by cheating that woman. I know that you don't like it. Otherwise, I will convert these things into silver notes and present them to you. I only ask you to let me go."
Yu Shengsheng stared at him meaningfully for a while: "Okay."
Hearing this, Doctor Cui's fingers, which were tightly gripping his robe, loosened slightly.
This is a state of relaxation.
Yu Shengsheng chuckled and suddenly pushed the small box onto the table.
Several gold ingots fell to the ground.
Doctor Cui was startled.
Yu Shengsheng's eyes swept across these things and then fell back on the small box.
The small box was empty.
Doctor Cui was startled and looked at the small box at first.
Yu Shengsheng immediately concluded that there was something fishy about the box.
He took the box and tapped it with his fingers. He soon found the layer at the bottom. He opened it and found a booklet inside.
At this point, Doctor Cui's face turned completely pale.
Yu Shengsheng opened the booklet and looked at it, his eyes slightly opened - no wonder he was so scared.
After closing the booklet, Yu Shengsheng stood up.
Before he left, Doctor Cui kowtowed several times, making a banging sound.
"Princess, Princess! Save you and return the book to me, I am willing to do anything!"
"My property can be sold to the princess."
The booklet is the fatal thing. If others knew its existence, he would not be able to kill it even if he had ten lives.
"Who cares about your money?" Green Lake cursed. "What a jerk. As a doctor, instead of saving lives and healing the wounded, you only do things that harm people. Pah!"
Yu Shengsheng nodded: "Lu Hu is right."
Doctor Cui kowtowed again and said, "I have one more thing I would like to tell the princess."
Yu Shengsheng said nothing.
Doctor Cui said quickly: "Princess Rongyang's leg... I went to see her before, it shouldn't be that serious..."
Yu Shengsheng's mind moved slightly, but she remained calm on the surface and stared at him.
Doctor Cui swallowed his saliva: "I guess she may have recovered, or she is just lame. At least it shouldn't be so serious as it is now, that she has to be in a wheelchair."
Yu Shengsheng tightened the fingers in her sleeves.
If that's the case, Su Zhiyi... do you know what the consequences will be?
Yu Shengsheng looked down at Doctor Cui and asked, "Do you want to live?"
Doctor Cui nodded repeatedly: "Yes."
"Okay, let's do something."
Doctor Cui crawled away, and Yu Shengsheng sat there, speechless for a long time.
The candlelight illuminated her pale face, and her eyes were as dark as the night outside, without a single ray of light.
When Su Zhiyi fell off her horse and broke her leg, she was terrified when she first heard about it. Then she felt extremely sorry when she heard that she would never be able to stand up again.
It is really heartbreaking that the female general, who once rode a horse to fight in the battlefield, broke her leg. She can't even walk, let alone ride a horse.
When she first returned to the Su Mansion, even though she felt wronged and didn't want to have anything to do with the Su family anymore, she never felt happy about Su Zhiyi's inability to walk, and never laughed at Su Zhiyi.
After a long while, Yu Shengsheng looked at Lu Hu and said, "Go and ask the servants in the wing rooms if they have done anything wrong. If they have, sign and seal. If not, ask Xu Boqing to drive them out of the capital tomorrow morning and tell them that if they want to live, don't come back."
"yes."
Of course the person in the room was not dead. The blood on the Green Lake dagger was from a can of chicken blood that had been prepared in advance.
Lu Hu turned and walked out. Yu Shengsheng raised his hand slightly and picked up a night pearl from the pile of things.
In less than half an hour, Doctor Cui came back.
He was holding a packet of powder in his hand, which was the packet that Su Zhiyi asked him to check whether it was poisonous or not.
"Princess, here are the things."
Yu Shengsheng took it, opened it and took a look. Just as he said, he smelled it and it didn't smell bad. On the contrary, the medicine was strong. Judging from the smell alone, it was indeed a top-grade product.
Doctor Cui wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Princess, according to the agreement, you..."
Yu Shengsheng put away the paper bag and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What agreement?"
Doctor Cui was stunned.
…
After leaving the alley, Yu Shengsheng did not return to the Su Mansion immediately.
"Miss, where are you going?" Green Lake asked.
Yu Shengsheng didn't say anything. She stood at the entrance of the alley, pinching the paper bag between her fingertips and looking up at the night sky.
The stars disappeared at some point, and the crescent moon was blocked by clouds, becoming dark and without any light.
She lowered her eyes in thought, wondering where to go.
Lu Hu watched from the side, not daring to urge her. Suddenly, she felt that Yu Shengsheng, standing silently like this, was similar to her master.
The longer Lu Hu followed Yu Shengsheng, the more he felt that she had a kind of energy - the energy of perseverance and unwillingness to admit defeat.
Although she was weak and powerless, the strength seemed to grow from her heart and bones, time and time again.
Calm, silent and majestic.
Lu Hu was just thinking about it when Yu Shengsheng suddenly turned her head to look at her, her eyes dark and cold.
"Green Lake," Yu Shengsheng said slowly, "Who do you belong to?"
