Chapter 4: The Princess is Causing Trouble in the Palace (Part 4)
"He'er, are you feeling better? Don't worry, Mom and Dad will definitely find a good doctor to cure you."
Chu He's mother, supported by her husband, struggled to come to her daughter's bedside, held her hand and comforted her with heartache.
The two imperial doctors waiting on the side turned pale. Was the Shangshu's wife's tone doubting their medical skills?
"Madam Shangshu must be too worried about Concubine Chu's health, so she spoke without thinking and attacked people recklessly. Please forgive me, the two imperial physicians!"
Hu Xiaomeng saw the angry expressions of the two imperial doctors, and Chu He's parents knew that they had spoken out of turn and quickly apologized to the imperial doctors.
"He'er, can you tell me what happened today?"
Zhao Ming, with a headache on his face, no longer wanted to face all this. He wished he could deal with things quickly and retreat to his study to get some peace and quiet.
"Your Highness, I was feeding fish by the lake with the princess today. I saw you coming back from afar and was so happy I wanted to go find you. I was so happy I didn't pay attention and fell into the water."
Chu He, lying on the bed, told everyone what happened today. After she finished speaking, she was stunned. This was obviously not what she wanted to express.
Hu Xiaomeng looked at Chu He with secret pride in her heart. How could she have the opportunity to lie with her around?
"this……"
Chu He's parents never expected the truth of the matter to be like this. They originally thought that they could frame Princess Ming with a crime, and preferably shake her position as princess.
"Even if my sister's falling into the water was an accident, Princess Ming beat my mother and me so badly today. This matter is not over yet."
The son of the Shangshu, who had been given medicine by the imperial physician, walked in and looked at Hu Xiaomeng with indignation.
"Are you okay? Your mother just rushed over to hit me, and I had to stand there and let her hit me? Why?
As for you, every move you made just now was so deadly that you wanted to kill me. If it weren't for my superb martial arts skills that knocked you down, I would be a dead body now.
You are not as skilled as others and you still have the nerve to embarrass yourself here!
You were the one who provoked me first. Even if I report this to my father, your Shangshu Mansion will not respond.
These two impartial imperial physicians were in the courtyard just now. Even if the emperor asks about what happened today, I believe they will report the truth.
Don't take advantage of the fact that you have more people in the Shangshu Mansion to distort the facts, slander me, and bully me."
After Hu Xiaomeng bowed respectfully to the two imperial doctors, he waved his two little fists to threaten the young master of the Shangshu Mansion.
The two imperial doctors stroked their beards and nodded. It was indeed as Princess Ming had said.
"Yan'er, if anyone dares to bully you, tell Daddy and your brothers, and we will work together to seek justice for you!"
After receiving the news, Su Zhong and his four sons walked in with their heads held high to support Su Yan.
"Dad, brother, you are all here!"
Although he only occupied the original owner's body, perhaps because of the deep feelings, some memories still remained.
When Hu Xiaomeng saw the five of them walking in, she felt very friendly and walked over to them happily.
"Yan'er, tell Daddy, has anyone... bullied... you?"
Su Zhong, who thought his daughter had suffered a loss, became increasingly weaker in voice after seeing the injuries on other people in the room. He secretly felt lucky that his daughter was not injured.
Su Yan's four brothers, Su Dong, Sunan, Su Xi and Su Bei, had already prepared for a fight, but after seeing the situation in the house, they looked at each other and then felt relieved.
Great! Now that my little sister is safe and sound, we can all rest assured!
"Your Highness, since today's incident was a misunderstanding, then you should stay here and accompany Concubine Chu. I will take my father and brother to the front hall to sit down first."
Not wanting to waste time staying and facing this group of people with bad intentions, Hu Xiaomeng pulled her adoptive father and brothers and went straight to the front hall.
She was very bored in the mountains before. Although she had companions, she didn’t have so many relatives around her. Looking at the five relatives in the Prime Minister’s Mansion, she felt very warm.
Zhao Ming watched his father-in-law and four brothers-in-law walk out and wanted to go and say hello, but when he raised his foot, he saw the eyes of the concubine's family and stopped abruptly. It seemed that he was more needed here.
"Sister, were the injuries on the Shangshu Mansion's legitimate son really caused by you? And the prince also suffered some injuries. Were they all caused by you?"
Su Yan's fourth brother looked at his sister with curiosity. As far as he knew, the martial arts of the man in Shangshu Mansion were quite good. How could his sister's mediocre martial arts skills hurt someone so badly?
"Yeah, I don't know what happened, but after waking up today I felt full of energy, as if I had an epiphany.
Even I don’t know why I suddenly became so powerful. Just now, Chu He’s mother wanted to hit me, but I kicked her so hard that she vomited blood.
Hu Xiaomeng glanced at the original owner's fourth brother with an awkward smile and explained to him half-truthfully.
"Then we can rest assured. No matter what the reason is, as long as it's a good thing given to you by God, that's enough.
We have always been worried that you would be bullied in Prince Ming's Palace, but now it seems we don't have to worry about it anymore.
Daddy doesn't advocate that you bully others, but if others bully you to the point of being bullied, there is no reason not to fight back.
From now on, if anyone dares to bully you, just give him a punch. The Prime Minister's Mansion will always be your support."
Although Su Zhong found his daughter's words unbelievable, he knew that she would never lie to her family. If she couldn't figure it out, then so be it. As long as it was good for her, nothing else mattered.
Su Yan's four brothers also agreed with their father's words that no one should bully their sister.
"Dad, brother, don't worry about me, I'm fine!
I haven't seen my grandmother and mother for a while, so I'm going back to my parents' home with you."
Discovering that there were spies everywhere in the palace, Hu Xiaomeng didn't want to make too much noise in one day, so she simply went back to her parents' home with her relatives and talked to them about staying away from Prince Ming's palace in the future.
After Zhao Ming finished dealing with the matters in Chu He's yard, he was about to go to Su Yan's yard to ask her why she was so abnormal today.
Unexpectedly, the maids reported that the princess had followed the Prime Minister and others back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she made a gesture to the secret guards in the distance.
"Did you really not find any piranhas in the lake just now? The imperial physicians said that the wounds on Concubine Chu's body looked like they were caused by piranha teeth, and the toxin in her body also looked like it was caused by piranhas."
After hearing the news from the secret guards that they had searched the lake for the goldfish that only Concubine Chu often fed, Zhao Ming was still skeptical.
"Master, we have indeed searched the lake thoroughly but have not found any piranhas."
Several secret guards stood by and swore that they had discovered something in the lake.
From the time Concubine Chu fell into the water until she was rescued, the entire lakeside was controlled by the secret guards, and no one else ever got close.
"This is truly bizarre. You must continue to investigate this matter and get to the bottom of it.
"Have you summoned the Taoist priest I asked you to? I just don't believe this. The princess was able to whip me in just half a day. Could it be that she was faking it all along?"
Zhao Ming found the change that happened to Su Yan today incredible. Without the support of the Prime Minister's Office, he might not have the chance to sit on the throne. After all, some cousins were eyeing him covetously.
"Master, the Taoist priest who is very good at performing rituals has been invited and is waiting for your instructions in the courtyard."
After the secret guard finished speaking, Zhao Ming asked someone to invite the Taoist priest in. Several people conspired in the room for a while before dispersing.
