Chapter 114: Punishment
Chapter 114: Punishment
Su Rao hurriedly explained, her eyes full of innocence and pleading.
However, the nanny just lowered her head, remained silent, and did not dare to interrupt.
Princess Changle is the eldest princess' darling. If anything happens to her, anyone who has any connection with her will find it difficult to escape!
"I really didn't do anything!" Su Rao's voice was a little tearful, and she seemed helpless and desperate.
"She didn't do anything, so how could Changle fall into a coma for no reason?" The eldest princess' question pierced Su Rao's heart.
"I...how could I possibly harm the princess? I haven't even had time to express my love for the princess yet, so how could I harm her? Besides, the princess is the apple of your eye, why would I anger you for no reason?"
Su Rao's voice trembled, and her eyes were full of sincerity and confusion.
The eldest princess's expression gradually regained her composure. Yes, Su Rao really had no reason to harm Chang Le. There seemed to be some kind of misunderstanding between them.
But Changle did happen after Su Rao, so there must be some connection between the two!
If anything really happened to Changle, she would never let Su Rao go easily!
“If anything happens to Changle, I will never let her off easily.” The eldest princess’ words were cold and chilling.
At this moment, Madam Huo and Huo Chengjun hurried over, and the eldest princess' attitude changed instantly: "Madam Huo!"
There was urgency in his tone, as if Mrs. Huo was the only hope at the moment.
Mrs. Huo quickly held the princess's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I have sent someone to invite that miracle doctor."
The eldest princess's expression relaxed a little.
"Let me go in and see the princess." Mrs. Huo continued, and the eldest princess quickly made way and invited Mrs. Huo in.
The moment Huo Chengjun stepped over the threshold, her footsteps paused slightly. Her eyes inadvertently swept over Su Rao who was kneeling on the ground, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
Su Rao keenly caught the malicious hint and was secretly alert. Although Princess Changle had a weak constitution, her unexplained coma made her feel that it was related to Huo Chengjun.
Huo Chengjun followed Madam Huo into the room. Then, she pretended to be worried and looked at Princess Changle who was lying on the bed. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, and her breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
Only the faint sound of breathing made the princess feel a little relieved, as it was the only evidence that she was still alive.
Soon, the famous folk doctor hurried over. Just as he was about to greet him, he was interrupted by the princess anxiously: "No need to be polite, just show me your daughter."
The miracle doctor immediately came to the bedside, sat on a chair, and carefully felt Princess Changle's pulse.
His brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and the eldest princess' heart rose into her throat. She was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
"Miracles Doctor, what's going on with Changle?" The eldest princess' voice was filled with caution and anxiety.
"The princess has been poisoned." The genius doctor spoke bluntly. His words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
"Poisoned?" The princess was shocked, but more anxious, "Godly doctor, please save my daughter!"
"Princess, there are so many strange poisons in this world. Only when the type of poison is determined can I prescribe the right medicine. But a confirmed diagnosis takes time, and I'm afraid you can't wait." The doctor's words were like cold water poured on her head, making the princess almost unable to stand. Fortunately, the nanny beside her supported her in time.
"Then...what should I do?" The eldest princess seemed at a loss, and the despair and helplessness in her eyes were heartbreaking.
At this moment, Huo Chengjun suddenly said: "Princess, I have a way."
The princess turned around quickly, her eyes full of expectation: "Cheng Jun, tell me quickly."
"The person who tied the bell must untie it. Su Rao is closely related to this matter. If you hand her over to me for interrogation, I will definitely be able to find out the type of poison!" Huo Chengjun said firmly.
The eldest princess's brow was filled with anxiety and fatigue, and she no longer had time to weigh the pros and cons.
In her heart, her only wish is that her daughter can wake up from her coma as soon as possible. As for Su Rao's fate and right and wrong, in the face of this deep maternal love, they all take a back seat.
"Okay, Chengjun, I'll leave this matter to you. I have only one request, which is that Changle must wake up." There was determination in the eldest princess' voice.
"Princess, don't worry. I will definitely get a result." Huo Chengjun curled his lips into a confident smile, turned around and left, feeling secretly proud in his heart.
This move undoubtedly put Su Rao completely under her control!
Huo Chengjun walked slowly towards Su Rao, her proud posture like a hunter who was about to harvest the trophy. She stared down at Su Rao condescendingly, her eyes containing both the pride of a winner and contempt for the prey.
"Someone, take her away." Huo Chengjun's voice was as cold as ice. Following the order, two servants immediately stepped forward and dragged Su Rao away roughly without allowing her to struggle, disappearing at the end of the corridor.
Su Rao was brought into Huo Chengjun's courtyard. Once the gate was closed, the noise from the outside world seemed to be cut off in an instant, leaving only dead silence.
In this closed space, Su Rao's anger and unwillingness became more and more intense.
"Huo Chengjun, you framed me! It was clearly you who was behind the incident with Princess Changle!" Her eyes were wide with anger.
Hearing this, Huo Chengjun raised a scornful smile at the corner of his mouth: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? The princess treats Princess Changle like the apple of her eye. Now that the princess is in trouble and it is related to you, your fate is self-evident!"
Su Rao's face turned pale instantly, and her guess was confirmed. Huo Chengjun was indeed the one who planned all this behind the scenes.
"Do you think it's a good thing to be favored by the princess? Once the princess fails, everyone around her will be to blame! Su Rao, you are being too clever for your own good. Unfortunately, there is no turning back!" Huo Chengjun's words were sharp.
Then, Huo Chengjun signaled to the servants and said in a cold tone: "Torture me!"
The servants approached step by step with various torture instruments in hand. The tension and fear in the air almost solidified, and Su Rao's heart was beating like a drum.
……
On the other hand, Su Yi, worried about Su Rao's safety, had already secretly deployed spies.
Therefore, when the news came that Su Rao was taken away, she knew it immediately.
Where did the accusation of murdering Princess Changle come from?
Su Yi knew in his heart that Su Rao would never do such a thing!
Anxious, Su Yi led his entourage and rushed to Huo Chengjun's residence, intending to find out the truth.
However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Huo Mansion, he was stopped by a group of servants. Their attitude was tough and their words were full of provocation.
"Princess Yi, what do you mean? You broke into our young lady's yard for no reason. Are you trying to bully us?" The servants around Huo Chengjun spoke coldly and arrogantly.
"I am not taking advantage of my power to bully others. It is clearly your young lady who kidnapped my sister without any reason. I want to see my sister!" Su Yi argued with a firm tone.
