Chapter 682: 668, Ito Yukiko Gets Tough (2)_1 Chapter 682: 668, Ito Yukiko Gets Tough (2)_1 “Yi Kai, I really want to thank you this time,” Jian Qing said, expressing her gratitude.

Had it not been for them, she would have been destroyed by Ito Mie and her mother.

“No need. You should thank our lady,” Yi Kai replied.

Ito Yukiko nodded, then disembarked from the car.

Yi Kai rolled his car window down, handed her an envelope, “I will have Ito Keiko returned by dawn. This is the evidence of their conspiracy against you, I suppose you know what to do with it.”

Ito Yukiko took the envelope and bowed slightly, “Thank you. After dealing with this matter, I will go to Jian Qing personally to express my gratitude. Please share with her.”

Yi Kai waved his hand, started his car and left.

Ito Yukiko watched as his car disappeared from her sight, then she turned and walked back to the palace.

In a brightly lit room, Ito Mie hadn’t yet taken off her extravagant kimono, and her gloomy face made all the servants in the room lower their heads with breathe cautiously.

Suddenly, a young woman burst into the room.

“Did you find the princess?” Ito Mie immediately questioned.

The young woman shook her head.

“Damn it, you bunch of useless garbage, if you can’t even find a person, then go on and keep looking!” Ito Mie snapped angrily.

“If we can’t find the princess by tonight, I will not forgive you.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

A group of servants scurried out in panic.

…

At dawn, hurried footsteps could be heard.

“Knock knock knock––”

“Your Highness, it’s me.”

Failing to sleep due to the issue of Ito Keiko, Ito Mie immediately allowed the approaching servant in upon hearing her voice.

The chamber maid carefully opened the door and quickly stepped in.

“Is there any news about Keiko?” Ito Mie asked.

The chamber maid hesitated, contemplating her words.

“What is it, speak up.” Ito Mie ordered in a deep voice.

“Your Highness, Princess Keiko has been found, but…” The chamber maid, filled with sorrow, after picturing Ito Huizi’s condition.

“What do you mean ‘but’? Speak, Chiyo!” Ito Mie urged impatiently.

Chiyo closed her eyes briefly and mournfully said, “Princess Huizi has been badly battered and damaged. It seems she was violated.”

“What?” Things went pitch black in front of Ito Mie, and she almost fell off her chair.

“Your Highness, please calm down!” Chiyo immediately stepped forward to help Ito Mie by lightly patting her chest and helping her catch her breath.

“How could this happen, what on earth is going on?” Ito Mie frowned with hatred in her eyes.

Who could have done this to Huizi? What about Yukiko?

“Chiyo, have there been any movements from Yukiko’s side?”

“Your Highness, please don’t get angry.” Chiyo lowered her voice and cautiously replied, “I just inquired and heard that Yukiko returned last night.”

“She came back last night?” Ito Mie’s eyes flashed menacingly, grinding her teeth in frustration. “How did she get back? Why did she come back, but my Huizi ended up like this?”

She had clearly arranged for someone to kidnap Yukiko, so how could she come back without a scratch?

“I’m not sure, Your Highness. Princess Yukiko returned last night, with no news leaking. I guess Princess Yukiko may have intentionally blocked the news,” said Chiyo.

Ito Mie clenched her fists, her sharp nails digging into her palm. A cruel light flashed in her eyes, “Where is Huizi?”

Chiyo replied, “Princess Huizi has been brought back to her room. The doctor is treating her now.”

“Give orders to keep everyone’s mouths shut. If the news of Huizi leaks, they will pay with their lives,” Ito Mie commanded coldly.

“Yes.”

“Send someone to keep an eye on Yukiko. I’m going to see Huizi.”

“Yes.”

On the other side, the room of Ito Keiko was in a state of chaos with bloodied water basin being brought in and out in succession.

“Princess Yukiko!”

Upon seeing Ito Yukiko, the servants guarding the door immediately knelt.

Without sparing a glance at the closed door, Ito Yukiko ordered, “Open the door.”

“This…” The servant hesitated.

“Didn’t you hear your princess? All of you, get the door open for me,” Ito Yukiko commanded in a cold tone.

“Yes!”

Two men emerged from behind her and pushed the obstructing servants aside before forcefully kicking the door open.

Bang!

The loud noise startled everyone in the room.

“Princess Yukiko, you cannot go in.”

With Chiyo’s words in mind, the servants scrambled to stop Ito Yukiko as she tried to enter the room.

“Impudence! Do you still see me as your princess? Step aside or don’t blame me for being heartless,” Ito Yukiko swept a harsh glance at the servants blocking the entrance and ordered in a icy tone.

Hearing this, the servants hesitated. Just as they were about to step aside, Ito Yukiko’s two bodyguards she brought along promptly moved them aside.

Ito Yukiko confidently stepped into the room.

As she entered the room, the stench of medicine and blood mixed together and hit her nose.

She slightly furrowed her eyebrows, crossed the screen, and walked toward the bed.

“Princess Yukiko!”

Finding her in the room, the servants quickly kneeled down.

“Get up,” Ito Yukiko ordered.

The servants and the doctor complied and stood aside.

Ito Yukiko looked at the unconscious Ito Keiko on the bed, her gaze was calm and there was no sympathy in her heart.

If it weren’t for Jian Qing’s help last night, she would have been the one lying on that bed. How ruthless could Ito Keiko and her mother be?

Ito Keiko’s body was covered in bruises, her neck and exposed arms revealed blotchy marks and blood stains. One could only imagine the horror beneath her blanket.

Ito Yukiko took a step forward, retracted her gaze, grabbed a rose from the vase, put it under her nose to smell it, while from outside the door, a solemn voice echoed in.

“Your Highness!”

Outside, Ito Mie who had rushed over, seeing bodyguards at the door, her face hardened.

“What’s going on here? Who sent you?”

“Your Highness, Princess Yukiko is here,” whimpered a servant.

Upon hearing this, Ito Mie’s stomach clenched. Without scolding the servants, she quickly entered the room with Chiyo following closely behind her.

Ito Mie stormed in, pushed the screen, and immediately saw Ito Keiko lying on the bed. Seeing her own daughter in such a state, a cold light shot through her eyes and her teeth gritted in anger.

Who could have done this?

Her gaze shifted slightly and fell upon Ito Yukiko’s back. Struggling to suppress her anger, she asked in feigned calmness, “Yukiko, what brought you here?”

Without turning her back, Ito Yukiko could imagine the pretentious expression Ito Mie must be wearing while uttering those words.
