Chapter 12 Don't mess with the crazy
Su Yunling was begging Emperor Jing Zhao for mercy to get rid of Xiao Nanchuan, and even for this moment, she deliberately made the scar on her face look more hideous.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Nanchuan showed up at the critical moment. Not only did he disagree with Su Yunling's decision to cancel the engagement, he also asked Emperor Jing Zhao to grant the marriage.
"Your Majesty, I have an unshirkable responsibility for the damage done to Second Miss Su's face. I will take responsibility to the end. This is my responsibility as a man. I beg Your Majesty to grant my request."
Su Yunling laughed out of anger. If she hadn't known that the reason Xiao Nanchuan was so obsessed with marrying her was so that she could serve as a medicine guide for Su Yueying, she would have been deceived by his hypocritical face.
It’s true that Su Yueying is the group’s favorite, but unfortunately she has a fatal flaw: she suffers from a heart disease… and Su Yunling’s blood is the only ingredient that can be used as medicine for her.
The biggest reason why Xiao Nanchuan was obsessed with marrying her as a concubine was to control her so that he could take her blood at any time.
"Prince Xiao, there is no need to pretend to be so affectionate. I do not want to marry someone above my station. You and I both know why you are holding on to me. Now that I have been imprisoned and my face has been disfigured, will Prince Xiao still not let me go?" Su Yunling seemed to be ready to turn against Emperor Jing Zhao in front of him.
Emperor Jing Zhao frowned. Even if Su Yunling didn't mention it, he knew what Xiao Nanchuan felt for Su Yueying.
He cleared his throat and spoke in a deep voice: "It is no small matter for a woman's appearance to be damaged. Since this matter was indeed caused by Qing An, he should be held responsible to the end."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Nanchuan's lips curled up in the expected pride.
Su Yunling was not grateful at all. "I beg Your Majesty to take back your order. I have no ambition to stay in the harem. When I first became the disciple of the great doctor Mei, I vowed to practice medicine and save the world. If I break my oath, it would be disloyal and unrighteous. If Your Majesty insists on forcing me to marry Prince Xiao, I will..."
Su Yunling looked at the dragon-shaped pillar in the hall and risked her life. "I will crash into it and die here."
After she finished speaking, she stood up shakily because her legs were numb.
"Second Miss Su, being disrespectful in front of the palace is a serious crime. Please restrain yourself!" Eunuch Gao kindly reminded.
Emperor Jing Zhao frowned and said, "Don't make a fuss! Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. This matter should be discussed with your father first."
When Su Yunling heard this, she knew that this matter could not be rushed. Since she couldn't get rid of it, she might as well delay it for now.
She sighed, "Since the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, then I have no choice but to obey the will and serve my husband wholeheartedly from now on, and never step out of the backyard again."
Emperor Jing Zhao paused when he was about to drink tea. If Su Yunling really married Xiao Nanchuan right away and became a woman in the inner chamber, wouldn't it be very inconvenient for him to summon her to the palace for acupuncture again?
If you’re not careful, you’ll be suspected of coveting my wife?
"Oh! Forget it... I think that you cured my headache, and it is rare for a woman to have the ambition to save the world, so I can't imprison you in the backyard so early. I will give you a grace and allow you to marry again in two years."
When Su Yunling heard this, she cursed inwardly. Sure enough, this dog emperor only cared about making things convenient for himself. But it was exactly what she wanted, so she was temporarily relieved.
Two years? It was enough time for her to do a lot to change the outcome.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. Long live the emperor..."
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Nanchuan was obviously not satisfied with the result and wanted Emperor Jing Zhao to change his mind, but Emperor Jing Zhao simply waved his hand to refuse.
"No need to say more. I only promised her to marry you two years later, and I didn't promise her to anyone else. Why are you dissatisfied?"
Su Yunling put on her veil again, and did not forget to return the proud look that Xiao Nanchuan had just given her.
Xiao Nanchuan gritted his teeth in anger, but he couldn't get angry. It was obvious that he knew that the longer the night, the more trouble he would have.
Su Yunling glared at him, then turned around and approached the emperor with a flattering look on her face, "Your Majesty, since you have said that you will grant me a favor, can I make one more small request?"
She pinched her little finger to indicate that it was really a small request.
Emperor Jing Zhao was amused by her flattering look and asked, "Tell me about it?"
"I beg the emperor to grant me a decree and allow me to open a medicine shop to relieve the people's worries." After she said this, she kowtowed to Emperor Jing Zhao.
"This is a good thing. I approve it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" With the emperor's special permission, it was no problem for her to go out to do business to earn money or to start her own business.
"I am tired today... If you have nothing else to do, please leave!"
After leaving the palace, Su Yunling looked at the endless palace road and suddenly missed the time when she walked on four legs.
What's good about being a human? It's not as comfortable as being a fox.
I'm in a good mood today. I'm going to treat myself to a big fat chicken when I get home.
What flavor do you want to eat?
Salt-baked? Steamed? Or grilled?
"Su Yunling, how long are you going to play hard to get? How dare you ask the emperor to cancel the engagement?"
Xiao Nanchuan's voice made her lose her appetite instantly.
"Since Prince Xiao doesn't dare to bring it up, I will bring it up myself. What's the matter? What law doesn't allow the cancellation of the engagement?"
Playing hard to get? Where does his confidence come from?
Oh, she gave it to me once upon a time.
Xiao Nanchuan turned a deaf ear to him. He strode forward, and his tall figure enveloped Su Yunling with an invisible oppressive force.
"What do you want to do? This is the imperial palace." Su Yunling was forced to the palace wall.
"I heard that you injured Yingying?" Xiao Nanchuan's eyes were sharp.
"The prince is well-informed. He hit her if she wanted to. Who told her to start it first? Can't I fight back?"
"Who are you? Yingying is the Holy Maiden of Great Yin. Why do you think you can fight back?" Xiao Nanchuan punched the city wall near her ear.
Su Yunling was neither surprised nor angry. Instead, she curled the corners of her lips and said arrogantly, "Not only will I beat her, I will also beat you!"
"Just you?" Xiao Nanchuan seemed to have heard some huge joke.
But the next moment he couldn't laugh anymore. Su Yunling ruffled his hair with one hand and pulled at his clothes with the other.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Nanchuan was stunned.
"Don't whine, Prince Xiao. This is right next to the Emperor. Even though I'm a concubine, I'm still an innocent woman. How can you humiliate me like this? Woo woo..."
"Su Yunling, are you crazy?" Xiao Nanchuan panicked.
Su Yunling grabbed his hands with both hands and pulled them in front of her, then said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Master Xiao, don't provoke a lunatic, because she doesn't care about her life and her shame."
"You..." Xiao Nanchuan gritted his teeth and was about to push her away.
Su Yunling suddenly let out a sharp cry: "Prince Xiao, please forgive me. I will never interfere with your private relationship with my sister again..."
"Xiao Nanchuan!" A man's loud shout rang out behind Xiao Nanchuan.
When Xiao Nanchuan turned around, before he could see the person's face clearly, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from the eldest prince.
Su Yunling was filled with fear and panic. He hurriedly straightened his collar and bowed, "Grand Prince...Greetings to the Grand Prince..."
"Miss Su Er is frightened, please leave first!"
"Yes, but... Can His Royal Highness the First Prince forgive Prince Xiao just once? He definitely didn't hug my sister on purpose."
Xiao Nanchuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, anger rising in his eyes, "Su Yunling, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Prince Xiao!" A cold and angry voice made people shudder.
The Shura Field is here. The innocent and pitiful Su Yunling glanced at the bewildered Xiao Nanchuan and walked away with a happy pace.
The eldest prince originally planned to find Su Yunling to question her because he also knew that Su Yueying had been beaten.
But now he wanted to talk to Xiao Nanchuan more.
Su Yunling quietly returned to her own courtyard through the back door. The courtyard where she lived was the most remote, dilapidated and cramped in the Su Mansion.
There are only four rooms in total, and a palm-sized courtyard with a persimmon tree and a stone table, so there is basically no space left.
The only servant serving in the courtyard was Linglan. In fact, there were two maids and two servants before, but they saw that Su Yunling was not valued by the master and they disliked the shabby courtyard, so except Linglan, the other three went to serve in other courtyards.
Su Yueying's Tingyu Pavilion, with its garden alone, is more than twice as large as her wing room and yard. The corridors, pavilions, bridges and flowing water were all transported from Suzhou and decorated and built by famous craftsmen.
There were at least twenty maids, servants, guards, etc. in the courtyard.
It would be fine if this was the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, but Meng Xiaoniang's daughter is also a illegitimate daughter, and her courtyard and servants are incomparable to Su Yunling's.
Su Zhaohong would rather leave the decent yard of his home vacant than let her live there, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to torment her.
Su Yunling sat at the table counting the silver and secretly made up her mind, isn't it just a yard? She can buy it herself.
But she didn't want the things that belonged to her, and she wouldn't let those villains give them away...
