Happy Palm: The War King's Favored Little Doctor Consort

Su Qingli walked back to her yard with difficulty, and her maid Yueying came to greet her.

"Miss, are you okay?" Yueying couldn't help but shudder when she saw the blood extending all the way out with no end in sight.

"I'm fine." Su Qingli breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Close the gate and don't see anyone who comes."

Yueying immediately closed the gate, locked it, and helped Su Qingli into the house. Seeing that her clothes were stained with blood, she hurriedly said.

"I will go and fetch the doctor."

"Madam won't let the doctor in." Su Qingli took a deep breath. Although she temporarily stopped Mrs. Lu on the pretext of going to see King Zhan tomorrow, how could Mrs. Lu let her see a doctor?

She couldn't beat her to death, but she could make her die of a sudden illness!

"Miss, you've lost so much blood, how can you not see a doctor?" Yueying was so anxious that she was like an ant on a hot pot. "If only the old lady were here... Old lady, yes, old lady, I'll go find the old lady."

Seeing Yueying running out in a hurry, Su Qingli stood up, changed her shoes that were soaked with blood, put on a cloak, and while Yueying attracted everyone's attention, she slipped out of the prime minister's residence quietly.

Qingshan Temple is thirty miles outside the city of Kyoto. Because the monks in the temple once saved the late emperor when he was on a secret visit, it was named a national temple.

The high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing would choose to go to Qingshan Temple to pray for blessings.

Old Lady Su accompanied Concubine Zhao in chanting sutras in front of the Buddha all day long, and only returned to the side room to rest when the evening drum sounded.

While massaging her legs, Grandma Gao muttered softly, "The Concubine Dowager is in good health, but you, Old Madam, can't stand this kind of torture."

"If we can save Li Yatou's marriage, this little bit of hardship is nothing." Old Madam Su looked worried. Mrs. Lu was wholeheartedly planning for her two children. If she didn't make plans for Li Yatou, Li Yatou would have no way to survive.

Grandma Gao sighed. Everyone in the mansion knew what the lady was planning. If the young lady could get the support of Concubine Dowager Zhao, her life would be easier after marrying into Prince Zhao's mansion.

As the two were talking, they heard a knock on the door. Grandma Gao looked confused. She had sent all the maids to sleep, so who was knocking on the door?

"Who is it?"

"Grandma, it's me." A voice as thin as a mosquito came. Although it was weak, the two of them heard it clearly.

Old Madam Su's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately put on her shoes and got out of bed. Grandma Gao went to open the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Su Qingli standing outside.

"Miss, why are you here? But in the mansion..." Before Grandma Gao could finish her words, Su Qingli fell straight towards her.

Grandma Gao quickly hugged the person. When her hand touched Su Qingli's back, she felt sticky. When she raised her hand, it was covered with blood.

Madam Su gasped, "Quick, help him to the bed, and ask someone to invite Zen Master Wangyou over. Don't disturb anyone else."

After Zen Master Wangyou left, Old Madam Su sat in the shadow of the bedside, watching Nanny Gao apply medicine to Su Qingli. There was unspeakable anger in her turbid eyes.

As Grandma Gao applied the medicine, she wiped away her tears. "Who could be so cruel as to injure the young lady like this?"

Old Madam Su pursed her lips. The wound on her back was clearly caused by a beating with a stick. She could not think of anyone else except Mrs. Lu.

"Grandma." Su Qingli was awakened by the pain, and as soon as she woke up, she called out to Old Madam Su.

Madam Su hurriedly held her hand and said, "Good girl, grandma is here."

Su Qingli held Madam Su's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Grandma, I made you worry again."

"But it was Lu who hit you?" asked Old Lady Su.

Su Qingli did not answer, but pleaded: "Grandma, I have a favor to ask."

"What's the matter? Just tell me, and Grandmother will definitely take care of it for you."

Su Qingli took a breath and said, "Grandmother, please cancel my engagement with the Prince of Zhao for me."
