Chapter 541: Chapter 541 Retribution for Evil(4)_1

Cai Wei’s heart clenched, this was already the fifth Imperial Physician, thankfully, he only tossed people out, rather than killing on the spot with one palm strike. Otherwise, she really doubted if she could continue with this act!

The poison Zhao Yang gave her had been diagnosed when Old Turtle examined her leg injury; it had long been neutralised by Old Turtle. At the moment, all the symptoms on her body were illusions created by Old Turtle’s elixir, with the aim to escape tomorrow’s grand wedding and punish Zhao Yang, Princess Helena, and others.

Her plan was perfect; not only can Zhao Yang and Helena be punished, but she could also avoid the fate of marriage alliance. However, she overlooked one thing - Saknu’s emotions!

Saknu’s behaviour surprised her.

In her mind, Saknu was just a beast who thought with his lower half, a stallion who desired every woman he saw, even more despicable than Lü Zhongma. But his behaviour after she was poisoned surprised her.

He not only guarded by her bed without moving an inch but also severely punished Princess Helena. He glowered at the eunuch sent by Emperor Jin to offer his condolences and threatened angrily, claiming that if she could not be detoxified, he would tear Helena into thousands of pieces.

If she didn’t know Saknu well, she might believe that he had fallen in love with her sincerely!

Fortunately, their interactions weren’t only once or twice. Hence, in her eyes, Saknu’s behaviour was interpreted as unwillingness and resentment from losing his favourite toy.

Still, Saknu standing up for her moved her, and she no longer loathed him as deeply as when Brother Parrot told her about him!

Hong Rui sat by the couch on the stool, carefully wiping Cai Wei’s hands with a wet handkerchief, softly crying while wiping, and sneaking glances at Saknu standing aside.

Unfortunately, Saknu was too preoccupied with Cai Wei to appreciate her tear-streaked beauty. After her melodramatic performance for a while, he did not even spare her a glance.

Knowing Prince Saknu was in a bad mood, An Xiang didn’t dare to approach. She was busy preparing food in the outer room, waiting for Prince Saknu to be hungry.

For the entire afternoon, Saknu did not leave Cai Wei’s room. The originally scheduled hunting activity was dropped due to Princess An Le’s poisoning incident. The civil and military officials and the royal princes all quietly stayed in their own tents, fearing to provoke His Majesty’s anger.

Until the sun set, Saknu stayed in Cai Wei’s room. Famous doctors and Imperial Physicians brought by Saknu’s subordinates walked in one by one from outside and got thrown out one by one by him. The atmosphere in the room reached the extreme level of tension.

As time went on, Saknu’s temper became more and more aggressive, his glance more ruthless. He strode back and forth restlessly in the room, like a caged lion.

"You, come here!"

Suddenly, Saknu stopped, pointing at the palace maid who had been sitting by the stool at the edge of the couch.

Hong Rui had been here for the whole afternoon, massaging and wiping her master’s hands, waiting for Saknu to notice her. Finally hearing his summon, her heart burst with joy. Quickly, she wiped away her nonexistent tears, stood up, and curtsied to Saknu: "What command does the Great Prince have for this servant?"

Saknu said impatiently: "Sit on the couch, hold her head up."

"Yes!"

Hong Rui didn’t know what Saknu was planning to do, nor did she dared to ask, she simply complied and sat by Cai Wei’s couch, holding up Cai Wei’s head, and placed it in her bosom.
