Chapter 115 You are so confident
"Oh, you mean Concubine Su? She is suspected of harming the princess, and our young lady is interrogating her according to the law. This is the princess's order. If Princess Yi has any objection, she can go directly to the princess to argue."
The other party used the princess as a shield, leaving Su Yi helpless for a moment.
It is obviously not a wise move to force their way in. The other party has more people and more power, and Huo Chengjun is ruthless. Su Rao's situation is precarious.
"Princess, what should we do?" the accompanying servant asked anxiously.
Su Yi's eyes were firm, and he had made up his mind: "Go find the prince!"
So, Su Yi ignored the rules of gender distinction in the temple, and resolutely rushed into the men's area and went straight to Prince Yi's residence.
As soon as he reached the door, he was stopped by Mo Yi.
"What's the important matter, Princess?" Mo Yi asked seriously.
"It's Rao'er, something happened to Rao'er." Su Yi's voice was full of anxiety and helplessness.
Mo Yi frowned when he heard this: "I will report to the prince immediately."
A moment later, Mo Yi returned, but the news he brought made Su Yi's heart sink to the bottom.
"Princess, the prince is discussing Buddhism with Master Mingkong and has no time to pay attention to other things."
Could it be that Prince Yi is really indifferent to Su Rao's safety?
Could it be that Su Rao could only leave everything to fate?
At this time, although Prince Yi and Master Mingkong were sitting face to face, their topic was not about Buddhism.
Prince Yi seemed calm as he struck the wooden fish, but in fact his heart was in turmoil, and the rhythm of the wooden fish revealed his inner unrest.
"My heart is already in turmoil, so why should I suppress it?" Master Mingkong spoke in a gentle tone and with a deep gaze.
Prince Yi opened his eyes, revealing complex emotions beneath his cold exterior.
"At the beginning, you joined my Buddhist sect just to seek a way to survive. What about now?" Master Mingkong seemed to see through his thoughts.
"I want to live, and I want her to live too." Prince Yi's answer was simple and direct.
Master Mingkong sighed softly, as if he had anticipated the King of Chess's choice.
"Go."
Prince Yi stood up and left the quiet room.
Master Mingkong looked at his back with mixed feelings.
His precepts are about to be broken, which is both a disaster and an opportunity.
……
At the same time, in the dark and damp woodroom, Su Rao knelt on the ground. The scar on her shoulder was shocking, and her clothes were soaked with sweat and blood.
Despite this, her eyes remained firm, without any sign of surrender, nor the fear and begging that Huo Chengjun expected.
"You are such a stubborn guy. You are such a tough nut to crack." There was a hint of amusement in Huo Chengjun's voice. She slowly stroked Su Rao's face, with a cruel light flashing in her eyes.
"But you won't be able to hold on for much longer."
Her fingers slid across Su Rao's delicate facial features, and her words revealed a chilling malice.
"Your eyes are so charming, I want to dig them out and use them as my decoration."
Then, her hand slowly slid down, forcing Su Rao to look up, with perverted pleasure in her tone.
"Your teeth are so white, I want to knock them out one by one." The hand continued to move down and stopped on Su Rao's plump body.
"I'm going to cut it open here and take out your heart."
Finally, she moved her hands to Su Rao's slender legs, "These legs are so long and white, I want to chop them off..."
Wherever her fingers touched, people shuddered.
Faced with this threat, Su Rao simply sneered, her eyes full of disdain.
"Huo Chengjun, this is a nice idea, but do you really have the ability to do it?"
"Hmph, do you think you can still escape? Are you still counting on Prince Yi to save you? There are plenty of women in the world. Do you think Prince Yi will go against the eldest princess for a little concubine like you?" Huo Chengjun's sneer was full of sarcasm and confidence.
As soon as Huo Chengjun finished speaking, a violent collision sound suddenly rang out in the silent air. The door of the woodshed seemed unable to withstand the impact of some force and was suddenly kicked open with a loud "clang" that made people tremble in their hearts.
The man standing by the door had a stern face without any expression, like a silent Buddha statue.
His appearance instantly broke the original calm and brought an indescribable tense atmosphere.
Faced with this sudden change, Huo Chengjun was stunned for a moment, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.
In a flash, Prince Yi walked slowly and leisurely in front of Su Rao.
Seeing this, Huo Chengjun instinctively wanted to step forward to stop it, but the moment she took a step, Prince Yi gave her a clean side kick and knocked her heavily to the ground.
This kick not only broke up Huo Chengjun's resistance, but also shattered her plan.
"Miss!" The servants of the Huo Mansion were panicked and cried out in surprise. They quickly gathered around and carefully helped Huo Chengjun up from the sitting position on the ground. Their eyes were full of worry and anxiety.
At the same time, Prince Yi bent his knees and half-knelt, gently taking Su Rao, who was kneeling on the ground and looked particularly vulnerable, into his arms.
The corners of Su Rao's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Her heart was filled with confidence, because she knew that no matter when or where, this man would be her protector and would not let her fall easily.
Seeing this, Huo Chengjun was extremely anxious and shouted with almost all his strength, "Stop him!"
However, Prince Yi's eyes were sharp, he scanned the surroundings, and said coldly: "Who dares to stop me?"
Upon hearing this, the servants were all terrified and dared not move an inch. They could only watch Prince Yi holding Su Rao and walking away, their hearts filled with helplessness and powerlessness.
Not long after, Mrs. Huo rushed over after hearing the news, her brows furrowed, and she asked anxiously, "Was Concubine Su taken away by Prince Yi?"
Huo Chengjun was full of grievances and angrily recounted how her plan had failed, but Mrs. Huo did not seem to care about it. Instead, she showed a meaningful smile.
Facing Huo Chengjun's confusion, Mrs. Huo explained: "Chengjun, Prince Yi's move is actually an escalation of the contest between him and the Princess. We have a lot of fun to watch."
Prince Yi, a man who has one foot at the pinnacle of power and the other in the mundane world, has had an irreconcilable feud with the eldest princess since he entered the court. The position of crown prince has become an increasingly distant dream for him.
Mrs. Huo comforted the emotionally unstable Huo Chengjun and promised: "Chengjun, don't worry, Concubine Su will be yours sooner or later."
These words were like a sedative, gradually calming Huo Chengjun down.
On the other side, Su Rao was placed on the soft bed, a few strands of black hair stuck to her cheeks due to sweat, adding a bit of pitiful charm to her.
The clothes on her shoulders were torn, revealing her skin covered with whip marks. The bright red scars looked particularly shocking against her snow-white skin, yet they also had a strange kind of beauty.
Prince Yi carefully undressed her and applied medicine to her. Every movement was extremely gentle. Su Rao felt a touch of warmth and comfort in the pain.
