Chapter 25 So Ugly
The imperial physician, panting, knelt down to examine Su Fengqu's injury. As his hand touched the wound, Su Fengqu's face contorted in pain, and he wailed, stretching his neck, "Get away! Be gentle—"
"Shut up!" Prince Rong snapped impatiently at him, then asked the imperial physician, "How is the situation?"
"Your Highness, Young Master Su's injury... I'm afraid... I'm afraid he's broken bones. I... I'm truly powerless to help. I'm afraid... I'm afraid he'll be left with a disability..."
The imperial physician knelt on the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
Everyone in the capital knows that Su Fengqu is the Empress Dowager's grand-nephew. The Su family has only had one son for three generations, and Su Fengqu is the only son in this generation. The Empress Dowager dotes on him, and she often brings him into the palace to raise him. She cares for and loves him even more than the princes.
Let alone broken bones, even a minor injury would be hard to heal today.
It's not that no one can reconnect broken tendons and bones; it's that no one in the entire Imperial Medical Academy, or even the entire capital, can do it.
Legend has it that there is a Nine Immortals Island in the East Sea. Perhaps the immortal healers on the Nine Immortals Island can do it, but... but to this day, very few people have ever heard of the Nine Immortals Island. How mysterious it is!
Upon hearing the imperial physician's words, even Prince Rong's expression changed.
He didn't care about Su Fengqu, that little rascal, but if the Empress Dowager blamed him, he'd probably suffer the consequences too.
Sure enough, the next second after hearing the imperial physician's words, Su Fengqu shouted, "I don't want to! I don't want my leg broken! I don't want to be crippled! Men, tie that brat up and tear her to pieces! No, now! Chop off her leg right now!"
“Su Fengqu, don’t be unreasonable. When you fell, the horse had already run far away. Don’t say that your horse was slow and took a while to recover from the shock, which caused you to fall!” Yan Yue couldn’t help but step forward and say.
He was also startled and didn't react for a moment, but if he remembered correctly, Su Fengqu's horse had thrown him off a while after Lu Yangyang's horse had left.
It's not impossible that the horse was startled, but it's also possible that someone took advantage of the situation to sabotage it!
"I don't care! Today's events were caused by that girl. I don't care who she is to you, I will kill her today! Men, right now, cut off her legs!" Su Fengqu shouted.
Su Fengqu's lackeys chimed in, "Young Master is right! What are you all standing there for? Quickly cut off both of that girl's legs! Even if she had a hundred lives, it wouldn't be enough to compensate our young master!"
The guards had already brought Lu Yangyang over. Upon hearing Su Fengqu's order, they pressed down on Lu Yangyang's shoulders, trying to push her to the ground. However, despite their best efforts, they couldn't move such a frail child as Lu Yangyang.
"What are you two standing there for? Make your move!" Su Fengqu's lackey shouted at the two guards.
The two guards gritted their teeth and used almost all their strength, enough to crush a person's shoulder, but pressing down on Lu Yangyang was like pressing down on an iron plate; she didn't react at all.
"Stop! This matter hasn't been investigated yet, who gave you permission to shout and kill!" Yan Yue walked up to the two guards and tried to pull them apart.
Prince Rong frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Fengqu, Yan Yue is right. The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so don't be so eager to fight. I will send someone to take you back first, and have the Imperial Hospital send people over. Perhaps there is still a way."
Prince Rong spoke with a hint of unease. The polo field was always rife with injuries, so the imperial physicians summoned were all specialists in external and bone injuries from the Imperial Hospital. He never expected that this time it would be that little rascal Su Fengqu who would be unlucky. If this got back to the Empress Dowager, she would skin him alive, and he might not even be able to keep his Guanfeng Garden.
Prince Rong glanced at the thin, dark-skinned girl, his face darkening even more than Lu Yangyang's.
What is this thing called?
"I don't care! I'm the one who's going to be crippled, not you! What are you all standing there for? Can't the two of you handle a brat? Get me some people, get me some people!" Su Fengqu's mind was now filled with what the imperial physician had said: his legs were going to be ruined.
This is worse than taking his life.
At this point, he didn't care about investigation anymore. Whatever the investigation revealed wouldn't stop him from chopping that brat up right now!
After he shouted, the lackey immediately called over two more guards. Instead of trying to subdue Lu Yangyang, they pounced on her.
Lu Yangyang had felt something was off when the horse was startled, and when this young master fell off the horse, she felt something was even more wrong. So she didn't rush to resist and wanted to wait for them to investigate the matter before making a move.
But I never expected these people in the capital to be so unreasonable.
Lu Yangyang deftly dodged the guards' attack, then seized the opportunity to kick several men in the knees, knocking them down in a few moves. However, in the process, someone accidentally ripped off her mask.
"God—"
The onlookers shouted.
"Whose daughter is this ugly?"
"That mask was ugly enough, but I didn't expect her face to be even uglier? Why does that scar on her face look like a toad?"
"How disgusting!"
"How dare someone like that go out in public! If it were me, I would have killed myself by now!"
Everyone made their comments without any reservations, with Cheng Shujin's voice being particularly loud: "I thought that good-for-nothing Sheng Si brought that charcoal girl was some kind of treasure, but she's so ugly, how dare she bring her out to embarrass herself!"
"Cheng Shujin, I'll fight you to the death!" Sheng Yunjiao, who had just run over, was so angry upon hearing this that she was like an enraged little lion. Regardless of whether she could win, she charged at Cheng Shujin.
Lu Yangyang reacted quickly and grabbed her.
Prince Rong frowned and looked at Lu Yangyang: "Whose family are you? Today's matter cannot be resolved peacefully. You have caused such a disaster that even I cannot protect you. Go and call your elders over."
Prince Rong was a well-known figure in the capital. He knew everyone in the city, from the noble families to the students of Taiming Academy.
But he had never heard of such a person.
However, the fact that she can be protected by Yan Yue and Sheng Yunjiao suggests that she must not have an ordinary background.
If that's the case, it would be more appropriate to ask their elders to come over.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain to the Empress Dowager how badly Su Fengqu was injured.
"Yangyang..." Sheng Yunjiao's voice trembled slightly. No matter how arrogant she was usually, it was just childish play. If it involved the household, she wouldn't know what to do.
In particular, she understood Lu Yangyang's situation better than anyone else. If Lu Yangyang were the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion, with the same identity as Sheng Yunzhu, and with the Duke's mansion and the Lan family as her backers, no matter how powerful Su Fengqu was, she wouldn't dare to really take her life.
But... but Lu Yangyang is not the daughter of the Duke of Sheng now.
"Your Highness, I brought her here. I will take full responsibility for anything that happens!" Yan Yue clenched his fists, stepped forward, and shielded Lu Yangyang behind him!
