Chapter 86: Catch Su Wan

Su Wan was startled, the Crown Prince is here?

She wanted to jump out of the window.

But Su Mixue, with strength from who knows where, tightly held onto Su Wan’s legs with both hands.

“Your Highness, Your Highness, save me——”

Su Mixue cried out in fear.

She didn’t know why the Crown Prince suddenly came to Xihe Town.

But his arrival at this critical moment was a good thing for her.

Break and then establish.

The Crown Prince would see through Su Wan’s true face and would definitely abandon her!

With a “crack”, Su Wan gripped Su Mixue’s shoulder with her five fingers and dislocated her arm.

“Ah——”

Su Mixue screamed.

Su Wan broke free from Su Mixue’s hand, stepped on the long couch, and was about to jump out of the window.

But two guards suddenly appeared outside the window.

Su Wan raised her hand, and with a “bang”, the guards fell straight down. She jumped down, climbed up the wall, and jumped out of the house.

More than a dozen guards wanted to chase after her.

“Stop.” The Crown Prince stood in front of the window, looking at Su Wan’s slender figure, agilely disappearing over the wall, and a trace of darkness flashed in his deep eyes. He said in a low voice, “No need to chase.”

“Your Highness…” The guard was about to say something, but upon meeting the Crown Prince’s cold gaze, he immediately shut up.

Su Mixue’s eyes were fierce. The Crown Prince had seen her humiliated and in a state of disarray, he even saw with his own eyes how Su Wan had drugged the guard and knocked them to the ground, yet he didn’t pursue it, just letting Su Wan go like that!

Jealous rage burned in her heart, Su Mixue wanted to question the Crown Prince, why did he let Su Wan go?

“Your Highness, this time when I came to Xinghua Village, I met my sister and wanted to take her back to the capital. She asked me to give her a thousand taels of silver. Seeing her living in hardship, I gave her a thousand taels. Then she disrespectfully said that she sold you, the prince, to me for a thousand taels of silver.”

“Today, she barged into the house, fed me poison, and dislocated one of my arms.”

Su Mixue’s frail body stood up shakily. The tears rolled down silently, like a little white flower that had been damaged by the storm, which was pitiful.

She tearfully and pitifully said, “Your Highness, I don’t know why my sister is treating me like this. We used to be very close sisters.”

“Don’t know? Isn’t this what you asked for from the Marquis’s mansion?”

The Crown Prince stood in the shadows, his facial features sharp and three-dimensional, noble and handsome. At this moment, he was covered with a cold demeanor, his gaze sharply shot at her, making her feel cold.

Feeling the intention to retreat in her heart, Su Mixue wanted to run away.

The Crown Prince slowly walked over. His dark purple robe dragged across the floor, and the wide sleeves embroidered with complex patterns flowing with a faint dark light.

He stopped in front of Su Mixue and stretched out a few fingers to pinch her slender neck, which happened to overlap with the fingerprints left by Su Wan.

A chill rushed up from Su Mixue’s feet, and she saw the Crown Prince lean slightly.

“Su Mixue, even if she poisoned you, didn’t you bring it upon yourself?”

The Crown Prince’s deep and textured voice rang in her ears, like a lover’s whisper, making Su Mixue shiver all over.

She stiffened her neck, not daring to move.

Afraid that the Crown Prince would twist her neck.

“Be a good Crown Princess, and don’t think about Su Wan.” The Crown Prince ruthlessly pushed Su Mixue away, pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the hand that had touched Su Mixue clean.

Su Mixue stumbled and fell to the ground, the pain made her groan, but the pain in her body was not as painful as her heart, as if a sharp knife had gouged out a piece.

She lay motionless on the ground, with her tears falling in strings.

The Crown Prince didn’t even look at her, and left the inner room.

Qing Huan immediately came in and saw Su Mixue lying on the ground, then she quickly came over to help her up: “Crown Princess, don’t cry, sooner or later the Crown Prince will know, only you are true to him.”

Su Mixue felt unbearable in her heart, the handkerchief that the Crown Prince discarded on the ground, just like her heart that the Crown Prince discarded.

“What should I do, what should I do to……” Su Mixue’s voice stopped abruptly, her body started to itch, as if ants were crawling all over her body, itchy and painful, she couldn’t help but scratch with her left hand. The more she scratched, the itchier it got, she scratched harder, until several blood stains appeared on her fair skin: “Itchy, so itchy!”

Qing Huan was startled, seeing Su Mixue scratching her skin until it bled, rolling on the bed, pressing on her dislocated hand, and crying in pain. In no time, she had also scratched her face raw.

“Crown Princess, Crown Princess, you can’t scratch, you can’t scratch!” Qing Huan rushed over to hold down Su Mixue, shouting outside, “Help, someone come quickly!”

The palace maid rushed in, “What happened?”

Qing Huan was about to lose her hold on Su Mixue, and shouted anxiously, “Quickly tie the Crown Princess’s hands!”

The palace maid was startled, where would she dare to offend Su Mixue?

“Go quickly! If anything happens, I’ll take the blame!” Qing Huan urged anxiously.

The palace maid then fetched a ribbon and tied Su Mixue’s hands.

“You go and call the doctor.” Seeing that Su Mixue couldn’t break free, Qing Huan let out a sigh of relief, “You go and call the doctor quickly.”

The palace maid immediately went to call the doctor.

From afar, the doctor could hear Su Mixue’s painful cries. As he entered the inner room, he saw her writhing and squirming on the bed. The doctor didn’t dare to breathe, trembling as he approached the bed. When he saw the condition of Su Mixue’s face, he took a horrified step back.

Her face was covered with large patches of red rash, like measles, with not a single good spot, and her body was the same. Her skin was scratched open, smeared with blood all over her face, a sight that was shocking to behold.

“Doctor, you quickly check, what exactly is the situation.” Qing Huan urged.

The doctor swallowed, and asked with difficulty, “You tell me what happened before.”

“Suddenly, she felt itchy all over her body. As soon as the Crown Princess scratched, rashes broke out all over.” Qing Huan asked anxiously, “After the wound heals, will there be scars on her face?”

The doctor didn’t respond. He untied Su Mixue, and she desperately scratched her skin, immediately making her neck bloody and raw.

“Itchy, I’m so itchy, I’m going to die from the itchiness.”

Su Mixue couldn’t stand the itching that was drilling into her heart, no matter how she scratched, she couldn’t reach the itch, she was rolling around in pain, wishing she could die.

“Crown Princess!” Qing Huan and the palace maid held her down, shouting at the doctor, “You quickly take her pulse and check what’s going on!”

Su Mixue was completely immobile, and screamed in agony, “Let go of me! You guys let go of me!”

The doctor’s fingers were trembling as he took Su Mixue’s pulse, and after checking for a while, his face became strange, “The… the Crown Princess is fine, she might have eaten something she shouldn’t have, and got a rash. Once the rash is gone, it won’t itch anymore.”

Qing Huan saw Su Mixue being tortured into a non-human shape, her eyes reddened, and she choked up, “Is there a way to treat it?”

“My medical skills are not good, I can’t cure it.” The doctor said solemnly: “If she continues to scratch like this, there will be scars on her skin. I suggest tying up the Crown Princess until the symptoms subside.”

Su Mixue’s face twisted, she screamed: “Quack doctor! Quack doctor! Someone, drown this quack doctor!”

This frenzied appearance, completely lacking the demeanor a Crown Princess should have.

The doctor was so scared that he turned pale, and knelt on the ground with a thud, “Crown Princess, spare me, spare my life!”

Qing Huan had someone drag the doctor away.

“Su Wan! It’s this wretched person’s doing!” Su Mixue bit her lips until it bleeds, and said hatefully, “You guys, catch her for me!”
