Chapter 544: The Femme Fatale in the Double Life Story (43)
By the next morning, Su Yu's forehead was no longer hot, but she was still in a coma.
Xie Qinglan stayed with her for the whole night and was called away the next morning.
"Serve your young lady well. Let Suijin arrange anything she needs." Then, he looked at Suijin and said, "Take good care of your wife. Don't neglect her."
Sui Jin: “Yes.”
Su Yu woke up at noon. Seeing her wake up, Lan Ying cried with joy: "Miss, you finally woke up!"
Su Yu knew that she was sick, but the system blocked the pain, so she didn't feel any discomfort at all, as if she had just had a nap.
The body was too weak and was rescued as soon as it fell into the lake. It drank a large bowl of ginger soup, but still got a fever.
"What's wrong with me?" Su Yu's voice was hoarse.
"You suddenly had a fever last night and have been sleeping until now."
Lan Ying helped Su Yu sit up and poured her a cup of warm water to moisten her throat: "Miss, drink some water. You have been unconscious for the whole night. It is noon now. Do you want me to serve you food?"
Su Yu had no appetite. She shook her head and looked around the room, as if she was looking for someone.
Lan Ying said, "After you fell ill, my uncle was so worried that he didn't sleep all night. He was called away by someone from the palace this morning. Before he left, he told me to take good care of you."
Su Yu's eyelashes trembled, but she did not deny that she was looking for Xie Qinglan.
"Was he... angry yesterday?"
Lan Ying was slightly stunned: "No, my uncle is very worried about you, why would he be angry?"
Suddenly, Lan Ying seemed to think of something and said hesitantly, "But my uncle asked me some things about your past last night, and asked me if you didn't trust him because of these things."
Lan Ying leaned closer and whispered, "Miss, please tell me the truth, did you really poison my brother-in-law's wine?"
Su Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she pursed her pale lips. After a while, she slowly nodded.
Lan Ying was prepared, but she was still frightened to the point of cardiac arrest: "Such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with me, or let me do it, why did you dirty your hands?"
Su Yu knew that Lan Ying was loyal, but she never expected that she would be so loyal, without any hesitation? That was Xie Qinglan, the popular prince.
Su Yu was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.
She lowered her head and said nothing. Suddenly, her stomach made a noise.
Lan Ying didn't bother to ask and said hurriedly, "I'll go serve the meal to the young lady."
After Lan Ying left, Su Yu was the only one left in the room.
She frowned slightly: [Did the male lead really not sleep a wink last night? ]
System testified: [Really, I sat by your bed for most of the night.]
Su Yu frowned even more tightly: [What should I do? Could it be that he has really forgiven me? ]
The system meowed with gloating: [Who made you cry so pitifully in front of the hero? ]
Seeing her with tears in her eyes and begging in a tender voice, any normal man would feel soft-hearted.
Su Yu couldn't understand: [But this is my character setting, and I'm just pretending, there's no way he can't see it, right? ]
System: [Who knows, maybe these male protagonists are all sick, for example, they have masochistic tendencies and like others to poison them. ]
Su Yu was silent: […Listen to what you said, is this human language? ]
The rumors in the capital city became more and more intense, as if there was an invisible hand pushing them.
"Your Highness, we have found out where it came from."
Xie Qinglan's eyes were cold and sharp: "Speak."
The man slowly said four words: "Prince Gong's Mansion."
Xie Qinglan frowned. Prince Gong was the youngest son of the late emperor and the youngest brother of the current emperor. He was very favored.
If he did it, does it mean that the person behind the eldest prince is Prince Gong? After all, apart from him and Su Yu, only people in the eldest prince's camp knew about the poisoned wine.
Xie Qinglan thought it was not that simple: "Keep checking."
The Princess He'an who was framed by Su Miaoer was the daughter of Prince Gong. After that incident, Princess He'an became engaged to the Prince of Xin, and would marry him after she reached the age of 15.
The person behind the scenes fanning the flames was none other than the eldest prince. If Prince Gong was the man behind the eldest prince, why would he bother with all this?
But it cannot be ruled out that they did so intentionally to conceal their tracks.
Thinking of Su Miaoer from this incident, Xie Qinglan's eyes turned completely cold: "The rumors in Beijing seem to have changed recently?"
"Your Highness, there are indeed some changes."
There was no reversal, but more news that was unfavorable to Su Yu, most of which came from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Xie Qinglan's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "It seems that I am too easy to bully."
The person who answered the question lowered his head and dared not respond.
On that day, the rumors in the capital changed again.
Rumor has it that Princess He'an was framed by Su Miaoer, the eldest daughter of the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion.
It may not be a rumor, because Princess Gong has already led people to smash and destroy the Yongchang Marquis Mansion.
Su Miaoer was dragged out by her hair, and Princess Gong mercilessly slapped her in the face: "Bitch! How dare you plot against our Prince Gong's Mansion? I will smash your face today!"
Su Miaoer was slapped to the ground, and half of her face was swollen after the slap. It was obvious how much strength Princess Gong used.
Marquis Yongchang was not in the mansion, and the guards dispatched by the marquis's wife were stopped by the people brought by Princess Gong. She could only watch Su Miaoer being beaten.
The Marquis’ wife was furious: “Princess Gong, what do you mean by this?”
Princess Gong sneered, "What do I mean? Why don't you ask your good daughter what she did?"
She walked forward, grabbed Su Miaoer's hair, smiled coldly in her frightened eyes, and picked her up by her hair and brought her to the Marquis's wife.
"Tell your mother what you have done."
When Princess Gong was young, she was a well-known shrew in the capital. She has lived a pampered life over the years and has fewer opportunities to lose her temper, but that doesn't mean anyone can bully her.
Su Miaoer was terrified: "Mom, save me——"
The next second, her scalp was pulled hard and she screamed in pain.
The Marquis's wife was flustered, but she forced herself to calm down and said sternly, "Princess Gong! What on earth are you going to do? You brought guards into my mansion for no reason and injured people. Aren't you afraid that I will report it to the emperor?"
The guards of the Marquis' Mansion couldn't get in at all and were blocked.
The Marquis's wife hadn't noticed it just now, but now she realized that the guards brought by Princess Gong seemed to be dressed as imperial guards.
Princess Gong curled her lips coldly: "Since your daughter refuses to speak, then I will speak for her. At the banquet of Princess Mingjia, the person who drugged the prince of Xin Guogong and He An was none other than her."
The Marquis's first reaction was that it was impossible. She knew her daughter wouldn't have the guts to do it even if she had it.
She immediately went to see Su Miaoer, but saw that she was in a panic, filled with fear and guilt of being exposed, and her heart sank immediately.
Princess Gong glanced at Su Miaoer with disgust: "Not only that, she also colluded with the rebels. If things go wrong, your entire mansion will be implicated by her."
Su Miaoer denied in panic: "I didn't collude with the rebels!"
"It's not up to you to decide whether it is or not."
