She thought that if the empress hadn’t captured her, she wouldn’t make trouble with Su Yurou anymore. After all, Su Yurou was Su Dingheng’s beloved daughter and Chu Chengye’s muse.
But it seemed that she had underestimated the empress’s ruthlessness.
Su Dingheng’s face was filled with anxiety and his wrinkles were deeply creased. “Of course, she hasn’t returned! I sent someone to the clinic to find you, but you weren’t there either! Rou’er is your only sister, and because of you, she was detained by the empress. You can’t abandon her and must bring her back safely!”
A tinge of desolation crossed Su Yingxue’s heart, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips. “Father, have you ever considered that 1 am also Su Yurou’s only sister? If it were me trapped in the empress’s palace today, would you speak to her in the same way?”
“How did you end up in the empress’s palace? Isn’t it all because of that genius doctor of yours? She deliberately provoked the empress!” Su Dingheng retorted coldly, and his eyes filled with blame.
If it weren’t for the fact that Su Yurou still needed her help, he would punish Su Yingxue!
“Father, why don’t you ask why Su Yurou recommended my genius doctor to treat Consort Xiang? My clinic was destroyed, so who took over? Was it you, or her mother who wasn’t allowed into the house by her grandfather?” Su Yingxue’s icy eyes revealed a sharp edge, dissecting Su Dingheng’s hidden thoughts.
Su Dingheng became furious and yelled, “Su Yingxue, how dare you speak to me in such a manner! I demand that you bring the genius doctor into the palace immediately and exchange her for Rou’er, or else I will expel you from the Marquis’s Manor!”
“Is that so?” Su Yingxue’s powerful gaze startled Su Dingheng.
Her sharpness was too overwhelming, and as her father, he found himself unable to control her.
“Father, whether Su Yurou returns or not is not my concern. Even if she dies in the empress’s palace, I will not claim her body. As for your other intentions, you’d better put them away, or else next time, it won’t be as simple as someone being trapped in the palace.”
Su Yingxue said this and turned to leave.
“You just like your mother, you are nothing more than that. What’s the use of living if you’re not gentle and virtuous? You might as well die!” Su Dingheng’s heart filled with anxiety and anger as he watched her walk away, her flowing red attire and heroic appearance.
After Su Yingxue left, Su Dingheng changed his clothes and went into the palace.
Inside Fengzao Palace.
Su Dingheng paid his respects, and when Su Yurou saw him, she smiled understanding^ “Father, you were worried. I am with the empress, and she treats me well.”
Su Dingheng patted her hand with relief and respectfully thanked the empress. “Thank you, Empress.”
“Marquis Su, you should know that what 1 want is not your gratitude.” The empress, wearing expensive armor on her well-maintained hand, lightly slid it across the mahogany table, creating an eerie sound.
Su Dingheng lowered his head. “Rest assured, Your Majesty. I have already warned my rebellious daughter to hand over the genius doctor. Otherwise, I will punish her severely.”
“I hope that your ‘rebellious daughter’ will be obedient,” the empress said, caressing the armor, her eyes filled with killing intent.
If Su Yingxue couldn’t bear to part with the genius doctor, then there would be no need to keep Su Yingxue around.
“Empress, there’s bad news! The Seventh Prince is missing!”
Outside the palace, someone urgently reported.
“What did you say?” The empress’s eyes widened in anger.
Su Yurou and Su Dingheng’s hearts skipped a beat..
