Chapter 136 The Princess Forces Su Mingyue to Kneel and Beg Su Jixue
Su Jixue woke up and King Zhan opened the door to receive the guests.
The news was immediately known to the Su family, who were always keeping a close eye on the movements of Prince Zhan's Mansion. After receiving the news, Su Jian immediately went to see Shen and asked her to go see her daughter.
After all, Su Jixue is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and it is not appropriate for her to live in Prince Zhan's mansion. Now that she has woken up, her stepmother will go to visit her.
Shen has become haggard these days. Both the accident with the banker and the fact that there has been no news from her daughter have kept her awake at night.
Although she returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, Su Jian was always discussing matters with his staff and court officials who came to visit him privately, so it was not her turn to whisper any advice.
Now the first thing Su Jian said when he came to see her was to ask her to go and see that little bitch Su Jixue.
Shen was filled with hatred, but this time she didn't show it on her face. She nodded and said, "I originally thought Ji Xueren was not well, after all, there had been no news for a few days. I didn't expect that good fortune would come to those who are lucky. I already prepared some old ginseng and precious medicinal herbs. I was just about to tell the Prime Minister and then go see my daughter."
Su Jian nodded in satisfaction. This was the look of a lady of the royal family. "The situation in the capital is dire right now. No one can predict which family will be defeated. We will know the outcome at tomorrow's morning court session. We cannot afford to offend the King of War right now."
"Your husband should pay more attention to your great-grandfather. The Zhuang family has been loyal to the emperor for generations and would never collaborate with the enemy." Shen told Su Jian what her mother Zhuang had told her. It really eased the relationship between the two, and she immediately took the opportunity to speak for the Zhuang family.
"Don't worry, the old prime minister won't be defeated because of this." Su Jian knew the background of three generations of imperial tutors. Almost all the people in the court were students and old friends of Master Zhuang. It was impossible for him to be defeated just because of a tunnel: "When you see Ji Xue, ask her to speak more about the family. If she can speak to King Zhan, it will be more effective than anything else."
"Her?" Although Shen Shi knew the current situation and suppressed her disgust towards Su Jixue, she was still unwilling to ask Su Jixue for anything.
"Why, don't you look down on this daughter of yours?" Su Jian was full of admiration for Su Jixue at this time: "It is said that she saved the War King that night, so the War King was so nervous when she fainted this time."
Not to mention that Su Jixue had already caught the eye of King Zhan before, so their family should have a Princess Zhan.
"A Zhuang, whatever you thought of her before, put it away from now on." Su Jian saw Shen was silent and warned her lightly: "It would be a great help if Ji Xue had a plan. Think long-term. You have more than just Ming Yue as your daughter!"
Shen took a deep breath, knowing that her son was her only hope. Su Jian was trying to warn her. If Su Jixue's status rose, it would definitely benefit Su Ce's future career. "I understand. This time, I must make Jixue appreciate the kindness of our family."
Shen was not a brainless person, but she thought that Su Jixue could be manipulated by her, so she did those things and said those words without restraint.
But she didn't expect Su Jixue to be able to turn the tide, and she was not as easy to control as before. She must change her strategy.
"Has Qinglan Courtyard been cleaned up?" Su Jian looked at Shen. This was the courtyard that Su Jixue specifically asked to live in and renovate when she came back.
"I'm already cleaning and replacing it. When Jixue comes back, she can definitely move in." Shen suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry about such matters in the harem. I will arrange everything."
Su Jian looked at Shen deeply, and seeing that she spoke naturally, he knew that she had thought it through in her heart, so he nodded and left.
The news of the opening of Prince Zhan's Mansion was immediately passed to the Princess' Mansion. The eldest princess in Tokyo, who had been keeping an eye on Prince Zhan's Mansion, knew that Su Jixue had woken up, and immediately ordered Su Mingyue, who was imprisoned in the woodshed, to be brought over.
In just five days, Su Mingyue had already lost a lot of weight. Her fever had subsided, but she had been tortured by the eldest princess. Although she hadn't suffered any physical injuries, she had been tortured in the ways of the harem.
Especially my knees were swollen from kneeling for a long time.
"Now that your sister is awake, you know what to do!" The eldest princess looked down at Su Mingyue condescendingly, as if she was looking at a small stink bug.
"Your Highness, Mingyue is willing to serve the prince forever to make amends, can you..." Su Mingyue looked at the eldest princess pleadingly. She was now a thorn in the eldest princess's side. After all the drug trials failed, the eldest princess completely lost her patience with her.
Especially in the past few days, Lu Jing was in excruciating pain. The once bright and handsome prince was tortured to the point of being neither human nor ghost, and his temper was frighteningly violent.
It was completely different from the zombie look he had been in before when he was poisoned by this kind of poison.
"What are you dreaming about in broad daylight?" The princess dispelled all of Su Mingyue's wishful thinking with just one sentence: "Go and kneel at the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion and beg Su Jixue for forgiveness. If you can't get her forgiveness, you won't want to know what will happen to you!"
"Your Highness, Mingyue can go and ask me for help. Can you please ask me privately?" Su Mingyue pleaded anxiously, "I have feelings for the Crown Prince and I definitely won't have the heart to see him suffer like this!"
Even when she was begging, she did not forget to apply eye drops to Su Jixue.
But the princess had already lost her patience: "Su Mingyue, you saved his life in exchange for the prince's favor. Everyone in the capital knows that you saved the prince!"
"But fake is fake. Since the whole capital knows about your rescue!"
"Now the whole capital must know that you are an imposter. Otherwise, how can Su Jixue calm down? Don't think that I don't know your calculations. Do you want to remind me that it was Su Jixue who tortured the prince?"
"But if it weren't for you impersonating me, my son wouldn't have to suffer this!"
"You are too young to play tricks on me!"
What's more, the eldest princess's decision to ask Su Mingyue to kneel down and beg showed her attitude. She was clearly trying to push Su Mingyue out to let Su Jixue vent her anger.
The eldest princess knew very well that Su Jixue had indeed been treated wrongly, and she had suffered a lot of injustice because she was mistakenly believed to be trying to steal the credit for her sister's saving of people.
Now that Su Jixue can't get rid of this anger, she will definitely not save Lu Jing.
"Come here, since Miss Su is unwilling to go, you take her to apologize!" The princess instructed the maid beside her, "Make sure Miss Su sees our sincerity."
"No, Your Highness, you can't do this to me. I am your future daughter-in-law, the future wife of the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery!" Su Mingyue tried to break free from the strong nanny with a look of horror on her face, but was still dragged out.
She is engaged to the prince.
If this happened, she wouldn't be able to hold her head up in the capital of Dongchu, let alone marrying the prince.
