Chapter 139 Revenge
Chapter 139 Revenge
Cao Ying woke up from the pain.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a young girl's face. Her face was as white as jade, with delicate features, but there was a cut on her face, a piece of flesh missing.
She was startled for a moment and then shocked, "You, you're not dead?"
Cao Ying recognized that this was the girl from the Ge family who had stolen her medical book and escaped from the medicine furnace.
Although she had argued with the emperor before, the daughter of the Ge family could also make poison to kill Wang Junjie.
But in her heart she was certain that the person she had been looking for for five years must be dead.
But unexpectedly, she was actually standing in front of him alive.
Su Que sneered, "You're not dead yet, how could your aunt die?"
"You are responsible for Wang Junjie's death. Are you trying to frame me?"
Cao Ying questioned her, looking around out of the corner of his eye.
It was a strange room, not the Ministry of Punishment.
"This is where?"
She only remembered that she was taken out by people from the Ministry of Punishment, fainted on the way, and knew nothing after that.
How did she end up in the hands of the Ge family girl?
Cao Ying was in a panic. The Ge family girl hated her so much that her situation would not be any better than being in the Ministry of Punishment.
Su Que didn't respond to her.
It was Su Heting who came in from outside, followed by the barefoot man.
Su Heting placed a wanted poster in front of Cao Ying. "The medicine furnace and your identity have been exposed. The emperor has put all the blame on you. Now you are a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill."
Cao Ying saw the wanted poster clearly, and felt angry and frightened. "What do you want to do?"
She wasn't stupid enough to think that Su Heting was saving her.
Su Heting threw the wanted order aside and said, "Of course, I will seek revenge if I have grievances."
"What grudge do I have against you?"
In Cao Ying's opinion, if they really wanted to settle their feud, it was Su Heting who beat her first for Qiao Xi.
After blurting out the words, she suddenly realized, "Who is the Ge family girl to you?"
Su Que smiled, "I am his sister. It was he who helped me escape from your pursuit back then."
It turned out to be the case.
Cao Ying hated Su Heting even more. She had previously thought that Su Heting was meddling in her affairs and interfering in the affairs between her and Qiao Xi.
But she didn't expect that Su Heting had ruined her plan five years ago.
But she knew this was not the time to vent her anger.
"You stabbed Princess Lan Hui, which was a capital crime. I moved you to the medicine furnace. Although I made you a medicine man, I also taught you medical skills."
Cao Ying didn't want to die. She deliberately ignored the conflict with Su Heting and only argued with Su Que, "It was wrong of me to dig the flesh off your face, but that was also for the purpose of making medicine. I want to develop new medicine. Once a teacher, always a mother. You can't kill me."
Su Que slowly took out a small knife from the medicine box. "You think too highly of yourself. I didn't take you as my master. You're not even worthy of carrying my mother's shoes. Don't disgust me by mentioning words like lifelong motherhood."
If she hadn't been lucky enough to escape and meet her brother, she would have died in the medicine furnace long ago. Cao Ying actually dared to mention the past to her.
The knife was sharpened to a point. She stuffed a piece of cloth into Cao Ying's mouth, raised her knife, and cut a flesh pit on Cao Ying's right cheek.
Su Que casually sprinkled some medicine powder on the wound and said, "Too many people want your life, so I can only let you taste the pain of cutting your flesh first, otherwise I will definitely cut your flesh with a blunt knife and skin you alive bit by bit."
After she finished speaking, she reluctantly stepped back.
Su Heting picked up a wooden stick from the wall and smashed it hard on Cao Ying's knee.
Cao Ying was in so much pain that veins popped out on her forehead and her eyeballs bulged out. The screams of pain from her throat were blocked by the cloth in her mouth, making her entire head turn red.
She stared at Su Heting intently, the hatred in her eyes seemed to turn into a blade and cut Su Heting into pieces.
After confirming that both of her legs were broken, Su Heting dropped the wooden stick in his hand. "I am here to take back your legs for my fourth uncle. Que'er, stop the bleeding for her. Don't let her die too quickly."
Cao Ying shook his head desperately.
Su Heting laughed out loud, "I know that it was not you who broke Fourth Brother's legs, it was Ji Yao who broke his legs.
Xier has paid for Ji Yao's debt with her life. This is the price you should pay.
You've committed countless evil deeds in your life, harming countless people. How dare you say that Fourth Brother has ended up like this, and it has nothing to do with you?"
Cao Ying still shook his head.
She didn't dare to recognize him.
It was her suggestion that Ji Chuan raise Qiao Chengwang like a savage.
It was indeed she who suggested to Ji Chuan that there was no need to treat Qiao Chengwang's leg, but just to keep him alive. After all, what the emperor wanted was Qiao Chengwang's blood, and as long as the blood could be taken, it would be enough.
"You told Ji Chuan to prevent him from thinking of escaping after his legs have healed."
Su Heting sneered, "Today I will break your legs too, to prevent you from escaping."
This is what Cao Ying said to Ji Chuan in front of Qiao Chengwang.
She looked up suddenly and whimpered.
Qiao Chengwang was rescued by Su Heting?
How can it be?
Qiao Xi spent five years under their surveillance and had no help in the palace.
Su Heting was a prince who grew up outside the palace. No matter how capable he was, it was impossible for him to rescue Qiao Chengwang from the secret factory in the palace.
Su Heting understood her confusion and said, "Cao Ying betrayed the emperor. Unable to bear the torture of the Ministry of Punishment, he bribed the eunuchs of the Ministry of Punishment to escape from the palace and took Qiao Chengwang with him."
This time, Cao Ying didn't even have the strength to shake his head.
They actually rescued Qiao Chengwang and framed her. The emperor must be so eager to have her tortured to death.
She has no chance of survival in Dayou anymore.
But where did they get this ability from? How did they know Qiao Chengwang was still alive? Did they learn it from Ji Chuan?
No, it's not.
Ever since Qiao Xi arrived in northern Xinjiang, Ji Chuan started to have all kinds of misfortunes, and her daughter Bixiang also died out of the blue.
She had suspected Qiao Xi at that time, and now she was certain that it was all Qiao Xi's doing.
In other words, Qiao Xi and Su Heting were in cahoots from the very beginning.
However, Qiao Xi clearly had lost her previous memories, and she clearly regarded the emperor as her only relative, so she also had a lot of respect for the people around her, the emperor.
Why did Qiao Xi suddenly become like this?
Could it be that she recovered her memory?
Impossible. She had checked Qiao Xi's pulse before she left the palace, and the effects of the medicine were clearly still there. Moreover, she later gave her another dose of memory-suppressing medicine, and she saw Qiao Xi take it with her own eyes...
She had many questions to ask and tried hard to spit out the cloth in her mouth.
Su Heting didn't intend to let her know the truth, so he changed the subject and asked, "What is the dispute between the emperor and the empress?"
Cao Ying didn't have the energy to think about why Su Heting, who had just arrived in the capital, knew about the discord between the emperor and the empress.
She was unwilling to confess just like that, and she was even more afraid that if she confessed, she would lose her life.
Su Heting didn't think he could find out the answer in one go. Anyway, they still had time. Qiao Xi was accompanying Qiao Chengwang, and she would also come to settle accounts with Cao Ying later.
Then he said to Laibajiao, "Fourth brother's memory was damaged by her, and it seems that his condition is similar to that of grandfather.
Perhaps the person who damaged Grandfather's memory is from the same school as her. You have almost finished researching the medicine Xier gave you. The next step is up to you."
The barefoot man nodded.
He could no longer contain himself after seeing Cao Ying hurt his daughter like that.
Su Heting walked to the door, paused, and suddenly said, "By the way, perhaps you can re-examine whether Princess Lan Hui's preference for you was due to her instigation."
He remembered that Cao Ying had a good relationship with Princess Lan Hui, and Lai Chijiao was once Doctor Ge, who was praised by the people.
If Cao Ying was jealous of Lai Bajiao's medical skills, or was envious, given her viciousness, it is not impossible that she would have evil intentions.
He had a flash of inspiration, but he didn't expect that it would make Cao Ying tremble all over.
