Chapter 255 Let's go to hell together!
At the same time, neither Ye Susu nor Su Tingwan went to the palace to pay their respects to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. They were unimportant. Su Tingwan was under house arrest and could not get out. Ye Susu's status was not high enough, and no one cared about her. This was the power and wealth she desperately wanted to covet.
With no one behind her and no man paying her any attention, she couldn't take a single step.
Ye Susu stood in front of the mirror in a gorgeous dress. She had changed her clothes several times, but no one appreciated them. She felt heartbroken. There was no one to talk to here, and Xie Shang never came to her courtyard.
Just then, a commotion was heard outside. Ye Susu said, "Baolan, go and see what's going on outside. Who's making a scene in the courtyard?"
Qingzhu rushed in and rattled off a story: "It's someone from the Su family. Apparently, it's something like Aunt Liu wanting to see Consort Su, but the guards wouldn't let her in. Then she said she was the General's wife, visiting her daughter, so why couldn't she come in? Then the guards said His Highness the Crown Prince had ordered that no one could enter. Aunt Liu was indignant and wanted to reason with the Crown Prince. When her daughter married the Crown Prince, he treated her like a precious jewel, but now he's locking her up..."
She even said that if she wasn't allowed to go in and see her daughter today, she would go to the palace to complain to the emperor. Today was the investiture ceremony of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. If she were allowed to cause a scene and the whole city knew about it, it would definitely affect the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
Sure enough, Steward Cheng personally welcomed her in. As soon as they arrived at the backyard, she started making a fuss again, saying that the courtyard given to their young lady was not good, not as good as Concubine Ye's courtyard..."
Ye Susu already knew who it was; she had bumped into Aunt Liu on her way back to the capital.
Aunt Liu looked at her with disdain. She was nothing more than General Su's concubine. What was so great about her?
Ye Susu, dressed in a gorgeous gown and holding a fan, twirled around and asked, "Do I look good?"
Baolan and Qingzhu nodded repeatedly, "This concubine looks like a celestial maiden descended to earth. I never expected the Crown Princess to have such beautiful clothes made for me. The Crown Princess has excellent taste."
Ye Susu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard them praising Jiang Fenghua. The Crown Princess was good in every way, so the Crown Prince would only go to her room. Even though she was heavily pregnant, she still monopolized the Crown Prince.
Back in the palace, she was the one who begged her to save the Crown Prince, but now that the Crown Prince has been saved, they all turn their backs on her.
She straightened her back, swayed gracefully with her willow-like waist, and took small, quick steps out the door. As soon as she reached the courtyard gate, she saw Aunt Liu's figure and went up to her, wanting to show off her current status.
Didn't she look down on her back then? Wasn't Su Tingwan smug about being the daughter of a general?
Now, the general's daughter is locked in her own courtyard and can't even leave the gate. It's unknown whether her injuries have healed or not. Even if they have, she'll probably be left with scars.
At this moment, Aunt Liu saw her and said, "Isn't this Physician Ye? It's been a long time since I've seen Physician Ye. She has become even more beautiful. Tsk tsk, the material of this dress is more luxurious than that of our border region. The gold hairpin in her hair is really beautiful. Your Highness... oh, now I should call you His Highness the Crown Prince."
I saw it from the beginning: His Highness the Crown Prince was fond of Physician Ye. My Miss Wan told me that Physician Ye's status had been elevated; she's now a concubine. Anyway, we're both just concubines..."
Ye Susu looked at her coldly, wondering who she was calling a concubine.
She glanced at the two maids beside her, maintaining her composure, and said gently, "Aunt Liu, you don't need to speak to Susu like that. Your Miss Wan is confined by His Highness not because of me, but because she made a mistake herself."
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "Ye Liang, you've misunderstood. How could I blame you? Now, Physician Ye and my young lady are both serving His Highness the Crown Prince in the Crown Prince's residence. Let's put all the unpleasantness of the past behind us. I brought some local specialties from the border for my young lady Wan. Why don't you send some over to her as well? Have your maid pick some up."
"No need," Ye Susu said in a deep voice. Who wants your things?
Aunt Liu immediately took my hand and said, "Let's go. We've known each other for a while now. Doctor Ye even treated my illness when we were at the border. I'm here to give Doctor Ye this gift out of the goodness of my heart. We don't usually have a chance to meet."
Ye Susu was pulled closer, and Aunt Liu whispered in her ear, "Someone from the Su family embroidery workshop asked me to pass on a message to the young lady."
Ye Susu froze, staring blankly at Aunt Liu for a moment, too frightened to utter a single word, her face changing color, and she whispered, "Speak!"
Aunt Liu said, "It's just a few steps, let's go!" It's not convenient to talk here, I'm afraid I'll say something unpleasant and someone will hear it.
Baolan and Qingzhu wanted to follow, but Aunt Liu said, "Are you afraid I'll sell your concubine? This is the Crown Prince's residence, heavily guarded. Every step you take is guarded. I met your concubine Ye back in the border region. She even treated my illness back then."
Ye Susu said, "You all go ahead with your work, I'm going to catch up with Aunt Liu."
The two men replied respectfully, "Yes."
Ye Susu and Aunt Liu chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the Sandalwood Courtyard. The guards at the gate did not stop them and let them in directly, and then went to report to Steward Cheng.
Butler Cheng said, "The Crown Prince only said that he would not let Consort Su out, not that he would not let anyone in. It is reasonable for Consort Su's family to come and visit. The Crown Prince has not stripped Consort Su of her title as a consort. Who knows when the Crown Prince will let her out again? Let them be. Just make sure to guard Consort Su and not let her out."
The guards, having received their orders, simply kept the Sandalwood Courtyard under tight security.
Ye Susu followed Su Tingwan into the room with a trembling heart. She saw that Su Tingwan looked haggard and her injuries seemed to have not fully healed.
She shook off Aunt Liu's hand and said coldly, "What message did Aunt Liu bring? Speak!"
"He wants to speak to Concubine Ye himself." Aunt Liu pushed Ye Susu directly into the inner room.
Su Xuan, disguised as a maid, sat on the edge of the bed. He looked at her coldly and said, "You've forgotten me so quickly? Physician Ye is so forgetful. I have to go to Su's Embroidery Shop to wait for you every day."
Ye Susu stood far away from him and said in a low voice, "General Su is too bold. This is the Crown Prince's residence. If you dare to barge in, you may not care about your life, but I do."
“I didn’t barge in; I walked in openly and honestly.”
"You're dressed like this, and you're still acting so openly." She didn't bother talking to Su Xuan at all, and didn't want to have anything to do with him. She just wanted to leave.
Su Xuan pulled her into his arms and gently nibbled on her earlobe. "Xie Shang and Jiang Fenghua are both in the palace. They'll be busy all day. We'll have plenty of time to catch up. Su Su has become even more beautiful in the few days we've been apart. Your face is so pretty. Did Xie Shang touch you?"
"Let me go! Consort Liu and Consort Su are still outside..."
"Don't worry, they'll keep watch for us. No one will come in. You don't need to be as reserved as last time. Just relax."
"Su Xuan, how dare you! What are you trying to do? I have no use to you, and you know Xie Shang doesn't really like me. I can't help you."
"I don't need your help, I just want to cherish you." He pinned her down, whispering sweet nothings, "After that day, do you know how much I missed you? Why didn't you come to me? Why did you have to make me come to you?"
Ye Susu quickly hid, "I can't get out. The maidservant beside me was also sent by the Crown Princess. My every move is under her surveillance."
He kissed her lips, her neck, and kissed his way down her body as he pulled open her clothes.
Ye Susu trembled all over from his kiss. A tingling, numb sensation spread through her body, like insects gnawing at her. Her voice was so low that only she could hear it, "No..."
"The Crown Prince's residence will soon be filled with many women, all daughters of high-ranking officials. Do you think you, a commoner with no power or influence, can compete with them? Susu, wake up! Only this general will truly love you." He continued to bewitch her.
Ye Susu was Su Xuan's most important pawn. He did not reveal his ambition, but only made her feel that he was truly attracted to her, and tried his best to tease her and arouse her pleasure.
Ye Susu felt weak all over; this was an experience she had never had before in her life.
He had never been so charming to a woman before. Ye Susu was a naive young woman, and she couldn't resist a man's extremely gentle advances. She gradually relaxed and became less resistant.
She reached out and hooked her arms around his neck, and receiving her signal, a torrent of kisses rained down on her.
Hearing the commotion inside the room, with faces flushed red, as if the bed was about to fall apart from their shaking, Su Tingwan curled her lips into a cold smile. She never expected that Ye Susu, who prided herself on being aloof, had already gotten involved with her elder brother.
She hated Jiang Fenghua and Ye Susu to the core; it was because of them that she failed.
Since we're going to hell anyway, let's go to hell together!
Xie Shang, how dare you be so cruel to me? We'll see. I never thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would be cuckolded one day.
