Su Yingxue’s eyes curved slightly. “I saw Miss Yun Dan’s medical skills yesterday. In comparison, the princess is naturally better.”
“You!” Yun Dan’s eyes were filled with caution.
Su Yingxue was young, but she had keen eyes and was very meticulous. She could even observe such small details.
Feng Qing hadn’t taken revenge for her broken hand, so she looked at Su Yingxue coldly. “You’re here to visit the princess. Why do you have to talk so much? What does the princess’s medical skills have to do with you?”
“Miss Feng Qing, Miss Su is a female envoy. Please speak politely,” Aunt Jing Fang couldn’t help but say.
“So what if she’s a female envoy? What’s the difference between you and a servant? When you see our princess, shouldn’t you be respectful?” Feng Qing was arrogant.
She was used to being arrogant in Qi State and did not care if she was in another country.
“I do have to be respectful to the princess because she is an envoy, but to a servant girl who speaks arrogantly, there is no need.” Su Yingxue had a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with coldness.
“What do you want?” Feng Qing had just asked when she was surrounded by palace guards.
“Princess, in the Great Cheng Dynasty, servants who offend their superiors will be punished. It’s the same for the princess’s maidservants,” Su Yingxue said loudly to the tightly shut door.
There was no sound coming from inside, so Su Yingxue ordered palace guards to press Feng Qing on the stool and prepare to hit her.
Yun Dan frowned. “Miss Su, Feng Qing is the princess’s person. It’s not up to you to punish her.”
“She is the princess’s woman, but if she insults me, then she is insulting the female envoy who receives the envoy and also insulting the Great Cheng Dynasty. Just based on this point, the Great Cheng Dynasty will have to teach her what is national prestige.”
Su Yingxue waved her hand and ordered her men to take action.
The foot-thick board hit Feng Qing’s body.
Feng Qing stared at her in disbelief. “You… How dare you hit me!”
She had never been beaten up in Qi State!
Su Yingxue’s expression did not change. “Continue.”
The sound of the board hitting was incessant, and Feng Qing continued to curse.
Aunt Jing Fang was a little worried. “Miss Su, it’s fine to hit her a few times to teach her a lesson. After all, she’s the Eldest Princess’s person. If you offend Eldest Princess and she reports it to the emperor, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to explain.”
“She is in the wrong. If she were to report this to the emperor, would the emperor allow others to insult the Great Cheng Dynasty?” Su Yingxue’s voice was sonorous and powerful. She said it for Aunt Jing Fang to hear and also for the people in the Perching Phoenix Palace to hear.
But unfortunately, she hit Feng Qing 30 times, but there was no sound from inside.
Su Yingxue saw Feng Qing lying in a pool of blood and said indifferently. “It seems that the princess is resting. I can’t visit the princess today. When the princess wants to see me, I will come to visit the princess again.”
After saying that, she led Aunt Jing Fang away.
Yun Dan supported Feng Qing, who suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. “Su Yingxue… Just you wait!”
Yun Dan helped her into the Perching Phoenix Palace. Han Yuwen had been listening to the commotion outside but did not make a sound.
She saw Feng Qing being helped in, covered in blood. She was disgusted. “You’ve followed me for so long, but you’re so useless?”
“Princess, that Su Yingxue is relying on the fact that this is a palace and there are many people here. Even if Feng Qing wants to resist, I’m afraid she won’t be a match for her.” Yun Dan explained to her.
Feng Qing’s eyes were filled with hatred. “Princess, 1 don’t dare to resist. After all, this is the palace. I’ll embarrass you.”
“You know that you will embarrass me, but you still want to go head-on with Su Yingxue? You know that you can’t win against her..”
