Chapter 632: How can you win against the dead?
The carriage stopped in a relatively secluded place. After parking, the guards went to the town to look for a clinic.
"Madam, we're sure we can find a doctor in such a big town. Why don't you take a rest first and I'll take care of the master?" Susu said in a low voice.
"No, I'm fine. This place is relatively safe. See if you can find a water source and get some clean water." Chang Ru whispered.
"Yes." Susu got off the carriage and walked towards the town.
Chang Ru lifted the car curtain and looked in the direction where Su Su disappeared.
Chang Li came to the side of the car and followed his young lady's gaze. "Young lady, since you suspect this maid named Su Su, why don't you just kill her and put an end to it."
"Killing her is easy, but it will affect the relationship between me and my husband."
Chang Ru looked down at the person in her arms, "This Su Su has been with my husband since she was a child. She must have a certain weight in my heart. My husband didn't show how much he cared about this Su Su because of my feelings. If I can't find any evidence to prove that this Su Su has a problem, and I get rid of her in a hurry, although my husband won't get angry with me because of a servant, he will always miss this Su Su in his heart."
"I will always have to compete with a dead man for my husband's heart, and I will never win." Chang Ru raised her hand and touched the fourth prince's cheek, and said to herself: "If you don't let me have any hope, it will be fine, but you just grow in my heart."
After finishing speaking, Chang Ru raised her head and instructed Chang Li: "Send someone to keep an eye on Su Su. If my suspicion is correct, she will definitely not behave herself."
"Yes." Chang Li looked at the direction where Su Su disappeared and responded in a deep voice.
When Susu walked to the edge of the town, she found a well. This should be the well where the villagers drew water. There were buckets and ladles for drawing water next to it.
She took off the several water bags she carried with her and filled them all.
After fetching the water, she couldn't help but pinch the poison sewn on the corner of her clothes, feeling conflicted.
The words Ji Chuhe had said to her kept ringing in her mind.
No matter how much hatred you have, you must not do anything stupid that would cost you your life.
There are many ways to solve problems in this world.
Don't go to extremes. Try your best to eliminate the enemy while protecting yourself. This is the most effective way to take revenge.
Susu loosened the corner of her clothes and picked up the water bag.
As she turned around, she felt a figure flash by in the dark.
Chang Ru's men are all very skilled and have obviously received special training. They can even fight with the inner court guards. Su Su never takes them lightly.
She was sure that the figure just now was not an illusion, but someone sent by Chang Ru to monitor her.
Sometimes, men are really easy to deceive, but when women become smart, they are the most difficult to deal with.
Susu secretly thanked God that she hadn't done anything just now.
She carried the water bag as if nothing had happened and walked quickly towards Chang Ru.
"Madam, the water is here!" Susu said happily.
Chang Li stepped forward to take the water, and personally handed Chang Ru's water bag to the carriage.
Only after Chang Li handed it to her did Chang Ru feel comfortable drinking it.
"Brother Chang, you should drink some water too." Susu said with a flattering look.
Chang Li turned aside with a cold face.
Susu felt a little embarrassed and took the water bag back.
If she fails to complete the mission, will it have a big impact on the Crown Prince's wife's plan? Why did the inner court guards stop hunting down the fourth prince?
How's the situation in the palace?
Susu's heart was full of worry.
The Crown Prince's wife told her to protect herself no matter what. Was she hinting at something? Even if she couldn't complete the task, did the Crown Prince's wife have other plans?
The more Susu thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
If that was true, she would feel better.
Not long after, the guard came over with a doctor.
The doctor was carrying a medicine box on his back and was trembling with fear.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I haven't done anything bad. I also treat patients in the surrounding area." The doctor begged for mercy in a low voice.
"Don't talk nonsense. I called you here to treat my master's injuries, not to take your life!" the guard shouted coldly.
The doctor suddenly didn't dare to make any sound.
Chang Ru asked someone to open the carriage and turn on the lights.
Although it was beginning to get light, the lighting was still not very good.
When the doctor saw the injuries on the Fourth Prince's body, he gasped.
"How can the injury be so serious! I... my medical skills are not very high. I can only treat some minor colds and miscellaneous diseases. I have never treated such a serious injury!" The doctor was frightened.
"Didn't you bring some medicine?"
"I did bring some, but they are just some common medicines. They are fine for treating minor injuries, but this... this is a case of skin and flesh being torn apart! Moreover, the patient still has a high fever. This is life-threatening! You should go to the county town as soon as possible and find a big clinic!"
"Old man, don't be afraid. We won't blackmail you. We have no other options. Please use some wound medicine first, and then see if there is any medicine to reduce fever. We don't ask you to cure it, but we ask you to help us." Chang Ru said with a pleading look on her face.
"Okay, I'll try." The doctor put down a medicine box, took out some fresh herbs from it, took a sample and brought it out, "These, crush them with a stone and apply them to the wound."
He took some more out of the box, "These need to be boiled in water and taken. Do you have a pot for boiling medicine?"
"No, old man, how about letting my maid go with you to decoct the medicine?" Chang Ru immediately took out a silver ingot from her pocket, about five taels, and handed it to the doctor.
"This is the consultation fee, please accept it."
"It doesn't take that much. These herbs are worth only a few coins at most."
"Please accept it. To you, it's just a few herbs, but to me, it's medicine that can save my husband's life." Chang Ru's tone was very sincere.
The doctor had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
After applying the herbal compress to the Fourth Prince, the doctor took Susu back to boil the medicine.
After going back and forth like this, it was already dawn.
When Susu came with the medicine, she also had a medicine pot, a clay stove, a few packets of herbs, and some food.
"These were given by the doctor. He said that if we are in a hurry, we can light a fire at any time and boil a few packets of medicine." Susu's face was covered in dirt, and it seemed that she was really doing her best to boil the medicine.
The people Chang Ru sent to secretly monitor Su Su also reported the situation to Chang Li, and did not find anything suspicious about Su Su.
When Chang Li reported to Chang Ru, Chang Ru sighed.
"If I'm just overthinking, then it can be considered a good thing. However, we must be on guard against others. We must keep a close eye on her until we are out of danger."
"Yes." Chang Li responded.
