Chapter 550: Sick? Take good care of the princess
Chapter 550: Sick? Take good care of the princess
"Your Highness, I didn't, you..." Nan Qing'er looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Nothing! I saw it all! You have such a vicious mind!"
"I'm cruel?" Nan Qing'er fell to the ground and looked up at the man she had been with for many years.
But King Rui only had Shen Youran in his eyes and couldn't hear what she said at all.
“There are servants taking care of you here, so don't worry. It's so cold, go back quickly. I will be sad if you get frozen.” Prince Rui didn't show any concern or even look at Nan Qing'er since he came in. He believed Shen Youran's casual words and took off his cloak and put it on Shen Youran.
"Your Highness, the princess is still here!" Shen Youran nestled in her arms and said coquettishly.
"Nan Qing'er, I'm warning you, if you bully Youran again, I'll never let you go!" After saying that, he stopped looking at her and whispered to Shen Youran with concern: "Youran, you're not feeling well, you should go back and rest quickly."
"Okay, my lord, let's go!"
"Your Highness! Let me out! Shen Youran killed Nanny Fan and is trying to harm you. Catch her quickly!" Nan Qing'er said while grabbing Prince Rui's hand as she watched them leave.
Unexpectedly, Prince Rui shook off Nan Qing'er's hand and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Youran is so kind, how could she kill the nanny, let alone hurt me? It seems that your madness has come back and you have started talking nonsense again. Go, find a doctor and take a good look at the princess! Don't let her run away." Prince Rui's cold voice sounded and he looked at her like a stranger.
Nan Qing'er looked at the King Rui who seemed like a completely different person and suddenly remembered what Yao Qingnian had said. Someone wanted to harm King Rui, and that person must be Shen Youran. King Rui now seemed to have lost his mind, not recognizing his relatives and only obeying Shen Youran's words.
"Yes, Your Majesty, don't worry, Youran will definitely have someone take good care of the princess."
"You Ran is still the most considerate. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back first!" Prince Rui didn't look at Nan Qing'er again. He gently hugged Shen Youran and walked away. Shen Youran turned around, smiled a triumphant smile, and then signaled the maid beside her to stay.
After Prince Rui and Shen Youran left, the maid stood in front of Nan Qing'er with a look of disdain in her eyes: "Princess, I'm sorry, come on! It's time to take the medicine."
"Bitch! Get out of here! I'm not sick! Why are you drinking medicine?"
"The princess' illness is serious. Come! Drink the medicine and you will get better." The maid pinched Nan Qing'er's chin, poured the medicine into her mouth, and then began to torture Nan Qing'er.
Just like how Nanny Fan treated Shen Youran, even worse, she gave her rotten rice to eat, asked her to wash clothes, etc. Nan Qing'er had never suffered any hardship since she was a child, and she fainted after being tormented like this. After waking up, she continued to be tortured by the maids. In this way, she endured several days of inhuman torture.
Yao Qingnian and the outside world did not know what had happened to Nan Qing'er. After arriving at Prince Rui's Mansion, they were also told by the servants that Nan Qing'er had gone to Xiangguo Temple and had not returned.
After Yao Qingnian left, the servant ran to report to Shen Youran, saying that the young lady from the Duke's Mansion had come to see Nan Qing'er several times, but was sent away by them on the grounds that she was not in the mansion. What should they say if she comes again next time?
"If she comes again next time, let her in, and leave the rest to me." A vicious look flashed in Shen Youran's eyes.
"Yes, concubine." These servants are all Shen Youran's people. Taking advantage of these days, she has joined forces with Shen Wenting and replaced most of the people in the mansion with their own people. Prince Rui is now under her control, and no one in this mansion dares to disobey him.
After everyone left, Shen Youran had a plan in mind. After Yao Qingnian came back, she not only took her position and made Chen Shuhua favor her alone, but also ruined her good deeds many times. It would be better to take this opportunity to kill her. However, Yao Qingnian was very skilled, and it would not be so easy for ordinary people to deal with her, otherwise Shen Wenting would not be helpless against her. So Shen Youran planned to go to the master to discuss it. After disguising herself, she came to a secluded house.
Shen Youran looked around and after making sure it was safe, he entered the yard. The yard was extremely cold, without a trace of warmth. Even though Shen Youran was wearing thick clothes, the coldness spread from his feet to his entire body.
After entering the yard, she went straight into the main house. There were many jars on the four sides of the main house with unknown words written on them. In the center was something like a statue. The room was dimly lit and a man was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
"Grandmaster."
"Why is Concubine Shen here today? It's not time to send people off yet?" A man's rough voice sounded.
"Master, I came here today because I have something important that I want to ask for your help."
"What's the matter?"
"I would like to ask you to help me solve this problem. After the task is completed, I will reward you handsomely."
"Oh? Is there anyone that even King Rui can't handle?"
"It's my sister, Shen Nianran. She is a skilled martial artist and a skilled doctor. Most people are no match for her. My father tried to deal with her several times, but she always managed to escape. So, I want to ask the master for help."
"Shen Nianran from Minister Shen's mansion?!" The man turned around suddenly, and his empty eyes stared straight at Shen Youran.
Shen Youran was startled, then calmed down and said, "Master, do you know her?"
"I know him! How could I not know him! If it weren't for him, how would I have ended up like this!" After these days of recuperation, the man has regained some of his color. He is wearing a Taoist robe and his hair is still messy, but he doesn't look as old as before. He looks a bit like an ordinary person. The reason why he chose Shen Youran was to find an opportunity to take revenge and restore himself to his original appearance, instead of hiding like now.
"Master, is it because of her that you became like this?" Shen Youran was unsure when she came here, not sure whether the master would help her. When she heard that the two of them had a grudge, it became easier to handle the matter.
"Well, I promise to help you deal with her. In the next two days, find a way to call her to the Rui Palace. I will make sure she never comes back."
"Yes, Master! I will go back and prepare now!" Shen Youran nodded happily.
"Wait! I promise you, but after this is done, you still need to do something for me!"
"Master, please speak!" Shen Youran paused.
"I want to restore my original appearance, and I need a hundred pairs of boys and girls as sacrifices. Only you can do this for me!"
