Chapter 58: Discovering the Secret
Yu Shengsheng's heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand.
Of course she understood what the prince meant.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will return to the courtyard immediately."
She pulled Golden Leopard away as if escaping.
Returning to the yard, she said to herself that no matter what, the prince would not come to the backyard to find her on an occasion like today.
The prince looked at her back, smiling as usual, with a flash of desire in his eyes.
At this time, the court doctor also came panting. After looking at the wound on Su Zhiyi's face, he applied medicine carefully and repeatedly told her not to worry and that there would be no scars left.
Miss Liu stroked her chest and said, "Thank goodness, Yu Shengsheng is so vicious. He broke your leg before and you can no longer ride a horse. Now he wants to destroy your face. Fortunately, nothing happened this time."
"Princess, don't worry. My wife Hua has a secret recipe passed down from her ancestors. She can use various flower juices to mix a facial cream that can cover some things on the face. It is much more useful than powder or something like that."
"For example, small black spots and blemishes on the face are all fine."
Miss Liu spoke seriously, staring at Su Zhiyi's face, and Su Zhiyi almost couldn't hold back her smile.
"Thank you Miss Liu for your kindness. No need. Please take your seat later and eat more."
Shut your mouth.
Miss Liu held her wheelchair and said, "It's okay. It's not a problem at all. I'll bring it to the princess tomorrow. Ru Jian is injured. Let me push you."
The old lady gave Madam Su a look, asking her to calm the situation, ask the female guest to go to the back, and smooth over the impact of the incident as soon as possible.
The arrival of the prince quickly suppressed the matter and shut everyone up. At least now no one dared to discuss anything.
The birthday party was back on track and proceeding as planned.
Yu Shengsheng and Jin Baobao returned to the yard. When Nanny Zhou saw her injuries, she was shocked.
Jin Baobao quickly took out the best medicine: "Miss, bear with it."
Yu Shengsheng nodded and closed her eyes.
The pain came, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing.
Grandma Zhou's eyes turned red with distress: "How did this happen? You went out fine, but when you came back... you're injured somewhere else?"
"It's not anywhere else," Yu Shengsheng took a deep breath and opened her eyes, "Don't worry, Mammy, it's just a minor injury."
When Nanny Zhou heard this, she almost burst into tears.
This is not just a minor injury, this is the face, the wound is so deep, the skin and flesh are a little twisted, if it leaves a scar...
Jin Baobao gnashed his teeth and said, "Princess Rongyang is such a piece of shit. We never opened the box, let alone touched the bow. It's obvious that she did it on purpose."
Yu Shengsheng sighed softly. What she was worried about now was not Su Zhiyi, but the prince.
Seeing that she was silent and looked tired, Nanny Zhou pulled Jin Baobao out.
Yu Shengsheng was alone in the room and let out a long breath.
She raised her hand and touched the wound lightly. It felt burning painful. She tilted her head to look at the mirror. In the blurry image, the wound was still red.
There was a slight dampness in my eyes and my nose felt a little sour.
Qi Mubai once said that even if she was plain-looking, he would not despise her, because he knew her, she was kind and brave, and was the best woman in the world.
What he liked was never her beauty.
But she also wanted to meet him clean and beautiful.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and she didn't want him to see her injuries and feel sad.
Just as I was daydreaming, there was a slight noise from the rear window.
Her whole body tensed up and she turned around immediately, and a guard of the Imperial Guard appeared in her room.
She stood up immediately, pursed her lips and said nothing.
The guard had a blank expression on his face: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered you to go to the waterside pavilion we met last time."
"In a quarter of an hour."
The guard said this and left through the back window.
Yu Shengsheng clenched her hands silently, her palms were wet.
The prince still refused to let her go.
Today is a good day and the garden is beautifully decorated, but everyone is busy with the guests and there is no one here.
Yu Shengsheng touched the hairpin on her head - she decided to wear a hairpin in the future. Even if she couldn’t hurt others, at least she could commit suicide.
She thought the prince had not arrived yet, but when she arrived at the waterside pavilion and saw the guard who had just brought the news, her heart sank to the bottom.
The door opened, and Yu Shengsheng's legs felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds. The guard pushed her gently and closed the door.
The prince sat at the table with a wine jug on it. He stroked the lid of the jug with his slender fingers, his smile faint and cold.
"come over."
Yu Shengsheng walked over slowly and stood in front of him, her whole body tense.
"Kneel down."
Yu Shengsheng knelt down and lowered her head, and her eyes fell on the prince's black brocade boots.
She actually didn't understand what the prince was doing. If others saw her with the prince, they would definitely think that she had impure thoughts, was dissolute and shameless, and intended to seduce the prince.
When she first met the prince in the villa, she also thought that her innocence must be sacrificed, so she would rather commit suicide to preserve her innocence.
But for a long time, she had been facing the prince and had been abused by him 203 times. The prince only tortured her and made her feel pain, wanting her to beg for mercy, but he never really tarnished her innocence.
The prince’s madness made Yu Shengsheng feel cold in her heart, and she always felt that he was a little sick.
She was nervous, with countless thoughts flashing through her mind. Suddenly, the prince grabbed her chin and forced her to look up.
Meeting the prince's dark and crazy eyes, Yu Shengsheng's heart began to beat wildly.
The prince said nothing, but pinched her with one hand and held the wine jug with the other, pointing the spout at her wound.
Pour it on.
The sharp pain was like countless sharp needles or a handful of fire, stabbing and burning her wounds.
Yu Shengsheng's face turned pale with pain and she bit her lips tightly.
As the prince poured the water, he watched her wound bleed again: "Who allowed you to hurt your face? Who allowed you to? Have you forgotten what I said?"
Yu Shengsheng didn't dare not answer, and endured the pain, her voice trembling slightly: "Your Highness, I didn't want to either, but at that time... I had to be hurt."
The prince opened his fingers and pinched her palm-sized face, his fingertips stained with her blood.
"I told you that you are not that bold. Don't worry," the prince said in a sad tone, "the Su family will not be able to bully you anymore soon."
"This is not ordinary wine. It contains healing medicine that can restore your face to its original state as soon as possible."
"Shengsheng, I love you the most, please don't let me down."
Yu Shengsheng didn't dare to breathe. His face was pinched by him, and his voice was vague: "I don't dare."
The prince approached her wound and was about to do something when he suddenly heard the guards outside shout in a low voice, "Who?"
Miss Liu wanted to pick some lotus seeds. She heard that Su Dingqin liked to eat honey-roasted lotus seeds, but these are best eaten immediately after they are prepared. They will not taste good if left for more than a quarter of an hour.
So, she thought that while everyone was busy elsewhere and no one was in the garden today, she sneaked over to pick some and cooked them for Su Dingqin in the Su family's kitchen.
My father said that if he wanted to get promoted and keep the Su family as his supporter, he had to let her take down Su Dingqin.
Su Dingqin was tall and mighty, and she liked him not only for his father's advice, but also because she truly liked him.
So, she came quietly, and after she was ready, she would find a way to make an appointment with Su Dingqin, and she didn't even bring a maid with her.
But who would have thought that I would see the prince's guards here.
Needless to say, the prince was also there.
How could she dare to stay here and quickly left.
The prince was interrupted in the room, and as time was running out, he decided to leave.
"I have invited a troupe to perform after the banquet today. Let's go and watch it then."
Yu Shengsheng didn't want to watch any show at all, but she also knew that the prince just wanted her to show her face in front of people to show that her face was fine and her heart was not guilty.
"yes."
The prince stood up and left. Yu Shengsheng heard the footsteps fading away and also slowly walked out of the house.
Not far away, Miss Liu, who had not left, was behind a tree, her eyes suddenly wide open.
