Chapter 538: Chapter 538 Retribution for Evil(1)_1

On the soft, fragrant grass, Cai Wei lay like Sleeping Beauty, basking in the gentle spring breeze and the faint aroma of flowers and grass while listening to Xiang Yun’s shaky narration.

"Your Highness, it was Princess Helena who tried to steal our roasted rabbit. Princess An Le was upset and got into a dispute with her. Then, somehow, they ended up wrestling with each other, and next thing we knew, Princess An Le was poisoned, and then you all arrived..."

Wu Xiangyun appeared terrified, stuttering and trembling as she spoke, looking like she might faint at any moment.

"Nonsense!"

Helena was furious, she pointed at Xiang Yun’s nose and shouted, "What fight? It was her who pinned me down and attacked me! I never laid a hand on her! Moreover, look at this slut An Le, her face is as fresh as a peach blossom, there’s no sign that she was poisoned at all. It’s clearly a ruse."

After finishing, she turned around indignantly and said loudly, "Brother-in-law, Wu Xiangyun was always in cahoots with An Le. Naturally, she would side with her, so you can’t count her testimony as legitimate. In my opinion, we should restrain this wench An Le first, then we can further interrogate her."

The prince’s concubine, Helen Xue, spoke gently, "Your Highness, I also suggest that we bring both of them face to face and let the imperial physician examine Princess An Le. Once she is awoken, a thorough interrogation will surely bring out the truth."

The prince nodded, "Xue’er is right, someone, call for the imperial physician!"

Helena said, "Wait, we don’t need an imperial physician, I can wake her up myself."

After saying this, she gave a grim smile and walked towards Cai Wei.

Lying there, Cai Wei felt uneasy, worrying about what would happen if Helena tortured her. Should she pretend to be awake or continue to feign unconsciousness?

In her anxiety, she urgently contacted the Great Immortal Turtle, "Great Immortal, where are the signs of poisoning you promised? Here I am, laying with a face as fresh as peach blossoms, even a fool wouldn’t believe that I’m poisoned!"

Before the Great Immortal Turtle could reply, Helena had already walked over to Cai Wei, squatted down next to her, her face, swollen like a pig’s head, wore a malevolent smile.

"Slut, are you going to wake up yourself, or shall I help you?"

Lying there, Cai Wei’s mind was in turmoil, but she maintained a calm facade, her delicate, smooth face betrayed no emotion.

"Hmph, very well. Let’s see how long you can keep pretending!"

Helena sneered maliciously, raising her hand to viciously slap Cai Wei’s face.

"No——"

Xiang Yun shouted and threw herself forward, grabbing Helena’s descending hand and cried, "Princess Helena, Princess An Le is going to marry Prince Saknu of Liaodan tomorrow, if you injure her, the Great Prince will blame you!"

"Get out of the way!"

While beating off Xiang Yun and hurling insults at her, Helena shouted, "Stop using that savage Saknu to intimidate me. You and this wench An Le are birds of the same feather. First, I’ll deal with her, then you. None of you will get away!"

Fearing for Cai Wei, Xiang Yun allowed herself to be beaten, clung onto Helena’s arm and refused to let go.

Just as the chaos was unfolding, suddenly, a large hand reached out, grabbed Helena’s arm, hoisted her up like a rabbit, and casually tossed her out!

"Ah ——"

Everyone present was shocked and cried out in surprise as they watched in disbelief as the noble Princess Helena was thrown by Saknu like a stone, thrown very high and very far.

"Splash!"

Helena fell hard, blood flowed from her head, she didn’t even groan before fainting.

"Younger Sister..."
