Chapter 534 Su Lingyue's Arrangement
Chapter 534 Su Lingyue's Arrangement
"Miss, that's enough!"
Caiyi took the water scoop from Su Lingyue's hand, picked up the dry towel beside her, and carefully wiped the water stains off her face.
"Miss, it's just some stain on your clothes, it's already been rinsed clean." Caiyi wiped it and gently comforted Su Lingyue.
Su Lingyue's eyes were red and her expression was dazed, her eyes were filled with the pain and struggle after being betrayed by her loved ones.
"Why?"
"I respect and love her so much."
"How could she use me like this! How could she…"
Su Lingyue held Caiyi's hand and looked at her, wanting to seek a different answer from her.
She lost her mother when she was young and was raised by her aunt. Her aunt was her first dependence and trust in this world.
For so long, the two have been on different sides. Su Lingyue thought that the emperor would harm Xiao Yu, that her father would harm Xiao Yu, and that her aunt would take action against Xiao Yu.
But she never thought that her aunt would use her to attack Xiao Yu.
She never thought that the person she had trusted since childhood would stab her in the back without hesitation.
Aunt knew how much she cared about Xiao Yu.
Caiyi felt heartbroken when she saw the tear marks, confusion and heartache on her young lady's face.
But there is something more important now.
"Miss, the prince is still vomiting blood."
Caiyi's solemn words made Su Lingyue's body stiffen, and her rationality returned instantly.
Su Lingyue's eyes were firm. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said to Caiyi, "Help me change my clothes quickly."
Xiao Yu's life is still hanging by a thread. It's not worth it to delay his treatment because of them!
We can't let them get what they want!
When he changed his clothes and came out of the cubicle, Yan Qing was sitting by the bed, wiping the blood from the corner of Xiao Yu's mouth with a handkerchief.
Seeing Su Lingyue coming out, Yan Qing's eyes were red and she urged him urgently: "Princess, please stop the bleeding for the prince. Why did he vomit so much?"
Su Lingyue said in a deep voice: "With my medical skills, I can't stop it. Now I can only put my hope in Uncle Lu and Ling'er."
"Caiyi, please take care of the prince. I will go pick them up myself."
She was worried that there might be an accident on the road.
Now, she has to consider everything carefully and not give them any chance to take advantage.
Caiyi was surprised, "Me alone?"
Su Lingyue nodded, "Yes, you are the only one I trust the most."
Yan Qing looked at Xiao Yu, who was completely unconscious and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, with a worried look on his face, "What if he vomits blood again like he did just now?"
Su Lingyue said: "The poisonous clothes are gone, and the room is well ventilated. There is no poison in the room that can aggravate the prince's condition. The prince will maintain his current condition."
"Yan Qing, I'm worried that an assassin will take advantage of the opportunity to attack."
"Got it." Yan Qing's face darkened, and he stood up and said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will make arrangements."
Su Lingyue stood in front of the carriage, and Yan Qing asked worriedly, "Princess, are you sure you don't want to bring two guards?"
Su Lingyue said calmly, "The palace is the one that needs guards the most. Before I come back, keep the palace safe and don't let anyone in. As for my safety, you don't have to worry. My second cousin is the captain of the East Street patrol, and the entire patrol team is his people."
At this moment, Su Lingyue did not have the slightest bit of the weakness of a delicate young lady. Instead, she made arrangements in an orderly manner and solved the problem quickly, which made Yan Qing admire her from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay! Princess, please be careful." Yan Qing nodded and bowed to Su Lingyue.
At this time, a person walked out of the door behind Yan Qing.
Seeing Li Jing holding the sword, Su Lingyue immediately understood her intention and ordered: "Ah Jing, your power has not recovered yet, go back."
After saying that, he got on the carriage.
Li Jing had no intention of doing so, and said coldly: "Although I have no internal strength, but in terms of swordsmanship alone, no one can match me."
"Take good care of the prince." Li Jing passed by Yan Qing, said this, and got straight into Su Lingyue's carriage.
When Su Lingyue came out of the alley, she saw about twenty patrolling soldiers.
The carriage was directly across from those people.
Su Lingyue knew the leader, he was Deputy Captain Liu Changming.
Liu Changming was about to lose his temper, but when he looked up and saw the lanterns of Prince Su's Palace hanging on the mahogany carriage, he suppressed his anger and asked, "I wonder why the carriage of the Prince's Palace stopped us?"
Su Lingyue lifted the carriage curtain and said to Liu Changming, "I have to go to the residence of Grand Tutor He to pick someone up. It's dark and windy at night, and I'm worried that something might happen. I want Captain Liu and his men to escort me."
Liu Changming paused, then said: "But our duty is to patrol the streets and alleys of East Street, and we cannot leave our post without permission."
Su Lingyue directly took out the gold medal given by the Queen and asked, "Your duty is to patrol the streets and alleys, and to protect the safety of every household in East Street. Do you think you can escape responsibility if something happens to me?"
"This?" Liu Changming hesitated.
Su Lingyue continued, "I might as well tell you that if the person I want to pick up today cannot be picked up safely and something unexpected happens, Deputy Captain Liu will be the enemy of Prince Su's Mansion. If it succeeds, he will be the guest of honor of Prince Su's Mansion. Deputy Captain Liu will decide what to do."
Liu Changming's superior Jiang Siqi happened to be the princess's cousin, and had the Shangshu Mansion as his background.
Leaving one's post without permission would result in a few beatings at most, but if one offended Prince Su's Mansion, it would be a question whether one could continue to stay in the patrol camp.
Moreover, the princess is holding the gold medal, so if anyone is held responsible, she can just use the gold medal to block it.
Liu Changming cupped his hands and said, "Prince Su's mansion is on East Street, so it is naturally under our protection. It is our duty to escort the princess."
Along the way, Su Lingyue did not see the carriage coming to pick up Lu Bo and the others.
Normally, they should meet on South Street.
When they arrived near He Mansion, Su Lingyue indeed heard the sound of fighting coming from the box.
Su Lingyue lifted the car curtain and told Liu Changming, "Go and have a look, maybe it's someone I want to pick up."
Liu Changming drew his sword and shouted at his men, "We are from the patrol camp. Who is fighting here? Put down your weapons!"
The fight did not stop after hearing the scolding. Instead, a voice asked, "Deputy Captain Liu, why did your patrol soldiers from East Street run to West Street?"
Liu Changming said, "We are here to do something. Captain Zhang, who are you fighting with?"
Captain Zhang said, "We have received a notice saying that they may be the bandits from last night and they are to be taken back to the Dali Temple for interrogation."
When Liu Changming heard that it might be the bandits from last night, he was obviously troubled.
"Nonsense, you are the gangsters! Your whole family are gangsters!" The little girl's crisp voice was full of anger, and she cursed back without hesitation.
It’s Ling Ling.
Needless to say, they received the notification from whom, it must have been his father.
He wanted to trap Doctor Lu so that Xiao Yu could not get treatment.
Su Lingyue stopped Li Jing, got off the carriage, and said, "They are the doctors of Prince Su's mansion. The guards are here to pick them up. Li Huaizhi, the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple, has already checked the mansion this morning. There is nothing suspicious in the mansion."
"Sister Yue!" Ling Ling's face showed obvious joy.
"Remember their appearance. You can ask Li Huaizhi. If it doesn't match what I said, have Li Huaizhi come to pick them up personally."
Captain Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said with an embarrassed look: "We did receive a notice. Princess, how about you wait for a moment? I will send someone to invite Lord Li now. If not, I will release him immediately. How do you think?"
Su Lingyue snorted coldly, looked at Captain Zhang with icy eyes, and said, "Everyone knows that the prince is in poor health and cannot do without a doctor. How dare you detain the doctor of Prince Su's mansion? If anything happens to the prince, you will have enough heads to chop off!"
Captain Zhang was obviously stunned and speechless for a moment.
Su Lingyue raised the lantern, illuminating the faces of the two guards, Doctor Lu, and Ling Ling, and said sternly: "Remember their appearance and go verify it with Li Huaizhi yourself. I don't have time to waste with you! I must take them away now!"
After saying that, he softened his tone and said to Doctor Lu and the others, "Let's go back home!"
Captain Zhang thought of Su Heng's words and decided to hold them back no matter what, at least not to let them go tonight.
If you succeed, there will be a word from Prime Minister Su in the future, so why bother to be exposed to the wind, sun and rain every day.
Captain Zhang made up his mind and blocked Su Lingyue's way. "Please forgive me, Princess. I am just doing my job."
Su Lingyue looked at Deputy Captain Liu calmly and asked, "Deputy Captain Liu, what will you do if the patrolmen from West Street forcibly detain innocent people from East Street?"
At this time, Deputy Captain Liu also understood the purpose of Su Lingyue asking them to come.
The soldiers of the patrol camp cannot be killed casually even if they are from the royal palace. If a fight breaks out, it will never end.
It's just right for them to resist.
"No one can touch the innocent people of our East Street!"
Deputy Captain Liu waved his hand, and his men immediately drew their swords and confronted Captain Zhang's men.
Su Lingyue took Doctor Lu and two guards directly into the carriage.
