Chapter 63 Qin Shuang's Test

"Your Highness!"

Su Wanshi looked up and saw Xiao Churen walking towards her with concern, and she was overjoyed.

She managed to squeeze out a few weak tears.

"Wanshi, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can bully you!"

Xiao Churen walked to Su Wanshi's side, pulled her into his arms, and intended to carry her away.

Just then, Xiao Ye came out from the outer hall.

"Your Highness, what are you trying to do?"

Xiao Ye had someone stop him.

"Can't you see what I'm about to do? Your Highness, why don't you tell these eunuchs to get out of my way!"

Xiao Churen said coldly.

“Su Wanshi offended the Empress Dowager by entering the palace and then made false accusations against my Crown Princess. The Empress Dowager only ordered her to kneel here for an hour as punishment. Does the Prince of Chu also intend to disobey?”

Xiao Ye deliberately said that the Empress wanted to punish Su Wanshi, so that if Xiao Churen disobeyed the order, he would be committing treason and being extremely unfilial.

But Xiao Churen didn't take the Empress seriously at all; he sneered at Xiao Ye.

"Her Majesty the Empress is unwell and probably doesn't have time to attend to Wan Shi, so I'll take her with me today!"

"presumptuous!"

"Nonsense!"

No sooner had Xiao Churen finished speaking than two reprimanding voices rang out.

One of them naturally belonged to Xiao Ye, as for the other...

Xiao Churen frowned slightly and looked in another direction in shock.

"Mother, what brings you here?"

Several palace servants followed behind Consort Liu, their faces filled with anger as they walked towards them.

She saw Xiao Churen holding Su Wanshi in his arms in public, and her face turned ashen with anger.

"Chu Ren, what are you doing? Let go!"

Xiao Churen was so frightened that he immediately put Su Wanshi down. Su Wanshi stood aside, trembling, without saying a word.

"Come with me! This woman is seducing the prince! Guards, give her twenty lashes and throw her out of the palace!"

"Mother, you can't do this!"

Consort Liu gave the order in a cold voice, and Xiao Churen immediately begged for mercy.

Su Wanshi was also terrified and turned pale. "Your Highness, I am innocent! I did not seduce the Prince!"

Consort Liu was even angrier when she saw this scene.

"If you plead one more time, I will give you another ten strokes of the cane!"

Xiao Churen dared not speak.

He knew that his mother always kept her word.

Fortunately, twenty strokes of the cane wouldn't kill him, so he kept quiet.

Su Wanshi fainted from fright when she saw that Xiao Churen was ignoring her.

Finally, the pain woke him up again when he was being beaten with a board.

Xiao Ye curled his lips into a cold smile. After Consort Liu took Xiao Churen away, he returned to the outer hall to continue waiting for Su Liluo.

About an hour later, Su Liluo finished giving the Empress acupuncture and also fed her a bowl of spring water from her space.

After instructing the Empress to rest for some time, they left the palace.

*

A few days later, Su Wanshi had been quiet and well-behaved for a long time since she was beaten in the palace.

The Su family also stopped causing trouble at the Crown Prince's residence.

However, a familiar guest still came to the Crown Prince's residence that day.

Princess Changning arrived at the Crown Prince's residence with a joyful and enthusiastic expression, claiming that she wanted to congratulate His Highness on his victory and bringing many gifts.

Since one doesn't hit a smiling face, Su Liluo received her.

However, Su Liluo was still stunned when she saw Princess Changning appear in front of her.

Today, Princess Changning was not wearing a veil, and her face was smooth and flawless, even whiter and more delicate than before.

She was wearing a pink dress, her face beaming with smiles, giving off an almost ethereal, lotus-like beauty.

The poison that Su Wanshi administered was so easily neutralized.

Su Liluo was somewhat surprised, but what surprised her even more was that Qin Shuang was among the maids brought by Princess Changning.

When Qin Shuang saw Su Liluo, surprise was also revealed in her eyes. She did not expect that she had met this Crown Princess before.

Recalling her understanding of medicine that day, she became even more certain that this person was the one her master had asked her to find.

"It's been a long time since I last saw you. I didn't expect Princess Changning's face to have healed. It seems I don't need to introduce you to any more miracle doctors."

Su Liluo said with a smile.

"Of course! Do you think you're the only one who can find a divine healer? This princess now has a powerful divine healer by her side too!"

Princess Changning touched her face and said smugly.

Qin Shuang was introduced to her by the Su family. She not only cured her face but also made her skin better.

Su Liluo also subconsciously looked at Qin Shuang. Their eyes met, but it was Qin Shuang who spoke first.

"This humble woman greets Your Highness the Crown Princess. I was unaware of your identity that day and offended you greatly. Please forgive me."

"What do you mean? Qin Shuang, do you know her?"

Changning looked at Qin Shuang strangely, then at Su Liluo.

Su Liluo didn't expect Qin Shuang to be so frank in saying it.

Then he smiled and said, "We met once before by chance, I didn't expect to meet again by such a coincidence."

"It is indeed fate. The Crown Princess's medical skills must be superb. I heard that the Crown Princess was poisoned on her face before. I suppose she cured herself?"

As Qin Shuang spoke, she looked at Su Liluo with a probing gaze.

Su Liluo suddenly became alert. This Qin Shuang seemed very concerned about the poison on her face.

"Miss Qin seems to know quite a bit about me. However, I was fortunate enough to meet a divine physician a long time ago. She taught me medical skills and even cured my face."
