Chapter 212 Su Tingwan firmly believes she will be the Empress
Su Tingwan ran out of the tent and went straight to the Su family's tent. She finally understood that Xie Shang fell in love with every woman he saw. He not only liked Jiang Fenghua, but also Ye Susu. They were right. No man is a good thing.
Aunt Liu was having breakfast with General Su when she saw her arrive and hurriedly went to greet her, "Miss Wan, you've arrived? Have you had breakfast yet?"
"Not yet." Su Tingwan stepped forward. "Daughter greets Father."
Su Dehai asked, "What happened? Why aren't you with Prince Heng? What are you doing here?"
Su Tingwan's eyes were red. "He already has Physician Ye by his side, so he doesn't need his daughter anymore."
"What nonsense are you spouting? She's just a female physician, while you're the prince's concubine." Su Dehai slammed down his chopsticks. "Go back now!"
Su Tingwan felt extremely wronged. Xie Shang had hit her, for the sake of a female doctor.
At this moment, Su Xuan also arrived, "Father."
"Okay," Su Dehai replied.
Su Xuan ignored how aggrieved Su Tingwan was and whispered, "Prince Heng is having carriages and horses prepared, as if he is going to the border."
Su Dehai asked, "Who wants to go to the border?"
Su Xuan inquired and learned that Prince Heng had ordered people to prepare women's luggage. He had already guessed Prince Heng's intentions, and then asked Su Tingwan, "What did you do to upset the Prince last night?"
“I slept in the prince’s tent last night. When I woke up this morning, he wasn’t in the tent. Later, he came back, and Ye Susu came with him. Ye Susu didn’t shy away from changing his dressings at all and even stuck to his body. I was so angry that I ran away.” Su Tingwan didn’t mention that she had lost her temper.
"That's all, nothing else." Su Xuan clearly didn't believe her, looking at her face, "What happened to your face?"
"Xie Shang took the taxi!" Su Tingwan said, feeling more and more aggrieved. She saw Su Xuan's cold eyes, as if he would eat her alive if she didn't tell the truth.
She had to say, "He hit me when I said Ye Susu seduced the prince."
"Who knows if Xie Shang went to Ye Susu's place last night? They came in one after the other, and they seemed very intimate. That woman climbed onto his shoulder, clearly trying to seduce him, and he just let her do it," she added.
"You said these things to the Prince as well." Su Xuan's eyes blazed with anger.
Su Tingwan nodded.
"Even if Prince Heng wants to take Physician Ye as a concubine, what does it have to do with you? Are you stupid to be jealous like this?" Su Xuan pointed at her nose and scolded, "So what if you run away like this? Will Prince Heng chase after you? He went to the soldiers' tents in the middle of last night and stayed with them. He didn't go to Ye Susu's barracks. Think about it. Ye Susu lives with a bunch of doctors. What could Prince Heng possibly do with her?"
"She climbed on top of Prince Heng in front of you. What could possibly happen between them? It was clearly a show she did on purpose for you. Can't you even figure that out?"
Su Tingwan was also dumbfounded. She had never thought of these things. Seeing Ye Susu being so close to Xie Shang, and Xie Shang not stopping her, she assumed that there was something between them.
Su Xuan scolded again, "Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? You are just a concubine, not the queen. All you need to do is win the favor of Prince Heng and win his heart. You don't care who he is with. Even if he takes a hundred concubines in the future, it has nothing to do with you."
I thought you were pretty, and pretty women always attract men. So I sent you to Beijing to study with your aunt. What have you learned all these years? No wonder you lost to Jiang Fenghua.”
Su Tingwan said directly, "I did not lose to Jiang Fenghua. Although I am his concubine now, I will be his empress when he becomes emperor. Brother, you can believe me. He will make me empress."
At this moment, even Su Dehai was unsettled and hurriedly told Aunt Liu to stand guard by the door. Fortunately, no one was there at the time.
"What did you say? Are you out of your mind?" Su Dehai said angrily in a low voice.
"Father, what I'm saying is true. I dreamt that Xie Shang won a great battle and was about to be named Crown Prince. He will become the Emperor. Jiang Fenghua will have a terrible future. Although she is a princess now, the Prince will only bestow upon her the title of Virtuous Consort. The Prince will no longer like her, and the two children she has given birth to will not be favored by the Prince either. Our Su family will rise to a higher level and enjoy boundless glory in the future." Su Tingwan told her about her dream.
No one would believe her if she said that, but according to the report from the Su family's spies in the capital, the emperor did indeed intend to make Prince Heng the crown prince. The emperor would use this victory as an excuse to appoint him as the crown prince. This information was kept secret, and it was impossible for anyone to know it.
Su Dehai looked at his son and asked, "Does the information you received match what Wanwan said?"
Su Xuan nodded, but as he stared at Su Tingwan, he felt something was off. He then asked, "Will Prince Heng really be made crown prince?"
"Brother, believe me, my dream was very real. I dreamt that Jiang Fenghua gave birth to a daughter and a son. The imperial physician also said that she was carrying twins. Once she gives birth, we can see if it's a boy and a girl. Then you'll know whether my dream is true or not."
Su Xuan almost laughed out of anger, and said sarcastically, "You think you can be the empress? What makes you think you can? Do you know that Prince Heng is already arranging for people to send you back to the border? I suspect that he is using your departure from the capital as an excuse to send you away. There is almost no chance that you will be able to return to Prince Heng's mansion in the future."
Su Tingwan was stunned. "How could that be? He wouldn't do that. Even if he likes another woman, he still loves me and will never leave me. He said that."
Aunt Liu said, "Miss Wan, are you stupid? He was able to be seduced by Jiang Fenghua before, and now he's flirting with a female doctor from the common people. How can he be faithful to you? Don't you understand?"
"I..." Su Tingwan said with a self-deprecating smile. She should have realized this fact long ago. If she was sent back to the border, how could she ever become empress? "Brother, please help me. I can't go back. I have to go back to Prince Heng's mansion. He will be the crown prince soon. I can't leave."
Su Xuan had also considered sending another daughter of the Su family to the Heng Prince's mansion, but he had no legitimate reason to do so. Wanwan was already the Heng Prince's concubine, so she could rightfully stay by the Heng Prince's side.
He said, "Father, now it seems that only you can bring Wanwan to the Prince and keep her. In any case, our Su family has helped him a lot this time, so he won't refuse to give us face."
Su Dehai listened to Su Xuan, so he naturally agreed.
Su Xuan then looked at Su Tingwan's clothes, "Change out of these clothes and dress up again before going to the Prince's side. What are you wearing? It's all mismatched."
Aunt Liu blushed upon hearing this; how could her clothes look so out of place?
Su Xuan continued, "Did Prince Heng discover something, like that you were sold into a brothel? Does anyone else know?"
Su Tingwan was also scared. "I told Yinxing that we must not tell anyone about this. If she doesn't tell, Xie Shang won't know either."
Su Xuan said coldly, "Then why did he have someone send you back to the border? Did he find out?"
