Chapter 113 The evidence is conclusive
In a flattering tone, he said, "Princess, you love walnuts the most. Let me peel some for you."
However, the young princess turned her back to Huo Chengjun and made her position clear with her actions, without showing any mercy.
Huo Chengjun stood there stiffly, his face filled with embarrassment, in an extremely awkward situation.
Seeing this, the eldest princess had to speak to ease the atmosphere: "It's just the child's temper, Chengjun, don't bother with her."
Huo Chengjun could only return to his seat indignantly, his resentful gaze never leaving Su Rao.
……
As night fell, Huo Chengjun complained to her mother, Mrs. Huo, in her room: "Mother, I really can't stand it anymore. If this continues, the eldest princess will probably be deceived by that evil woman. I really don't understand, what means did she use to win the favor of the princess?"
Mrs. Huo's face was calm, but her eyes revealed deep thoughts: "After all, I saved the princess' life, and the eldest princess will not forget this favor. Therefore, she will not easily side with Su Rao. What's more, although the eldest princess seems to be far away from the disputes in the court, she is actually thoughtful and knows how to make the most beneficial choice for herself."
In the battle for the crown prince, the eldest princess is undoubtedly an important chess piece.
In order to win her support, Mrs. Huo had made many efforts and would never let it all be easily taken away by Prince Yi's faction.
"However, the eldest princess' attitude has begun to affect those who are wavering." Huo Chengjun muttered dissatisfiedly.
Mrs. Huo frowned, and a hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes: "It's time to teach the little girl of the Su family a lesson."
……
The next morning, the sun shone through the clouds into the courtyard, and Su Rao was enjoying the tranquility alone.
Suddenly, a distinguished visitor arrived—the eldest princess's personal nanny carried the little princess and walked into Su Rao's courtyard.
As soon as the little princess saw Su Rao, her bright eyes immediately sparkled with joy.
"Concubine Su, the princess really likes you. She has been clamoring to come to see you since early morning and has been acting like a spoiled child to the princess. The princess had no choice but to order this old servant to bring the princess here."
The little guy jumped nimbly from his nanny's arms and explored everywhere curiously.
Su Rao took out the ball that the little princess had given her from her sleeve and planned to return it to her, but unexpectedly the little princess hid her hands behind her back and refused to accept it.
"Princess, are you going to give the ball to me?" Su Rao asked gently.
When the little princess heard this, she smiled so much that her eyes curved into crescents. It was obvious that Su Rao had guessed her thoughts correctly.
In response to the gift that the little princess cherished so much, Su Rao decided to give a gift in return.
She took out an exquisite handkerchief from her luggage. It was embroidered with a pattern of ducks playing in the water in spring. Each little duck was lifelike. It was embroidered by Su Rao herself.
"This is for you." Su Rao handed the handkerchief to the little princess.
The little princess took the gift and gently stroked the duck pattern on the handkerchief with her chubby little hands, her love for it was beyond words.
Afterwards, the two played ball happily in the courtyard until the little princess was taken back by the nanny because of fatigue.
At noon, Su Yi invited Su Rao to have lunch together.
"I heard that the little princess played in your room for the whole morning?" Su Yi asked softly with a hint of curiosity.
Su Rao nodded gently, her movements were gentle and reserved.
The sunlight shone through the window lattice onto her, adding a touch of softness to her.
"I heard that the princess has a strange personality, but I didn't expect that she has a special liking for you." There was a hint of envy in Su Yi's tone.
"The relationship between people is about fate. I was delighted when I saw the princess for the first time. Her clear eyes seem to be able to see through the softest part of people's hearts." A gentle smile appeared on Su Rao's face.
"This is a good thing. With the favor of the eldest princess, life will be smoother in the future." Su Yi nodded in agreement.
In fact, Su Rao's purpose in approaching the young princess was not simple. She had a secret in her heart, a choice she had to make for the sake of her family and survival...
She made up her mind secretly, and a determination flashed in her eyes.
On Prince Yi's side, the situation had become dire, and she knew that she had to go all out.
If I could get the protection of the eldest princess, maybe I could still find a glimmer of hope in this precarious situation.
The current situation seems to be slowly developing in a direction that is favorable to her, and this is all thanks to the little princess's special love for her.
Su Rao's feelings for the little princess were also sincere and deep. The child was pure and innocent, and could always easily touch the softest part of her heart.
Just as the two were talking in low voices, a figure suddenly appeared at the door and interrupted their conversation.
The visitor was none other than the eldest princess' most trusted nanny. Although she was old, she was still energetic, with a solemn expression and a furrowed brow, emitting an aura of majesty.
"The eldest princess has ordered that Concubine Su be invited to accompany me for a chat." The nanny's voice was steady and powerful, making it impossible to refuse.
Su Yi suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart. Her expression became a little nervous, and she asked cautiously: "Mammy, why did the princess summon Rao'er?"
There was a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
"This matter cannot be disclosed. The eldest princess is already waiting. Concubine Su, please follow me." The nanny's tone was firm and tolerant of rebuttal. It was obvious that the matter behind this was no trivial matter.
Su Rao frowned slightly, looking at the nanny's serious expression, she knew in her heart that something big must have happened, but it was difficult to figure out at the moment.
She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm: "Sister, don't worry, I'll go find out the situation."
After saying that, she turned to the nanny and asked in her tone, "Please lead the way, nanny."
The nanny took a step forward, and Su Rao followed closely behind her. The two servants brought by the nanny stood on both sides of Su Rao. Such a scene filled the air with a depressing atmosphere, as if Su Rao was really a prisoner being escorted.
Arriving at the princess's residence, Su Rao immediately felt an unprecedented heaviness.
Not far away, the eldest princess was looking at her with a cold gaze, which contained both blame and deep worry.
As soon as Su Rao approached, she was pushed down hard by the nanny and fell to the ground involuntarily.
Then, a loud slap landed on her face with such force that Su Rao's cheek instantly felt a burning pain and her ears were buzzing. Amid the pain, a chill rose from the bottom of her heart and quickly spread throughout her body.
Su Rao's heart tightened. What happened to Princess Changle? !
"Your Highness, what happened to the princess?" Su Rao asked hurriedly, regardless of the pain on her face, her voice filled with anxiety and confusion.
"The princess fell into a coma upon her return, and even the imperial physician could not find the cause." The eldest princess' voice was cold and hard, and her words revealed anger and anxiety. "Tell me quickly, what did you do to Changle?"
Su Rao was stunned when she heard this. Princess Changle fell into a coma for no reason?
This sudden change caught her off guard.
"Your Highness, I just played with the princess for a while, and she went back home when she was tired. I didn't do anything, and this nanny can testify to that!"
