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.
