Chapter 26 Did you do this on purpose?
"Yan Yue, are you doing this on purpose?"
Su Fengqu's face turned pale with pain, but that didn't stop him from shouting at Yan Yue, "I knew it! You did it on purpose! You're getting revenge on me for bumping into you last time and hurting your leg! You did it on purpose!"
Su Fengqu's shout reminded everyone of this matter.
About twenty days ago, Su Fengqu and Yan Yue, two notorious playboys in the capital, bumped into each other at Mingyue Tower.
Mingyuelou is the largest restaurant in the capital. It not only provides delicious food and wine, but also holds literary gatherings and auctions from time to time, auctioning off rare treasures sent from all over the country.
The two got into a fight over something at Mingyue Tower. Yan Yue accidentally fell down the stairs and broke his leg.
It wasn't that Su Fengqu pushed him; it was just an accidental bump. But regardless, Yan Yue broke his leg as a result, and Su Fengqu was confined to her home for half a month.
They've only just been allowed to come out for some fresh air.
And then this happened by sheer coincidence. Now that Yan Yue is still protecting that girl, it's hard for Su Fengqu not to suspect a conspiracy.
After he shouted that, the way everyone looked at Yan Yue changed.
Even Yan Yue himself was stunned.
His leg injury healed so quickly that he had completely forgotten about it.
But what a coincidence! It happened at this time, in this situation, that Su Fengqu was encountered.
But he really had no intention of retaliating against Su Fengqu. He just didn't like Su Fengqu, but he wasn't that kind of person!
Yan Yue was speechless and didn't know what to do.
"Are you going to move aside or not!" Su Fengqu shouted.
"I... I said, this is my responsibility. If you want to settle scores, I'll go along with it!" Yan Yue didn't care about thinking too much at this point. He had already made an enemy of Su Fengqu. Lu Yangyang had saved him, and he couldn't just stand by and watch Lu Yangyang be punished for it.
Su Fengqu is no gentleman. If Yangyang fell into his hands, how could she possibly survive?
"Fine, Yan Yue, you've got guts. Then come with me to see the Empress Dowager right now. I want her to stand up for me!" Su Fengqu was furious. He couldn't accept that his leg was crippled. Even if Yan Yue's leg was crippled too, he wouldn't be happy at this moment!
He absolutely must make that brat die!
"Go ahead..." Yan Yue was about to retort when Lu Yangyang grabbed him.
Lu Yangyang walked out from behind Yan Yue and looked at Su Fengqu lying on the ground: "You can kill me now or he can kill me now, your legs are crippled anyway."
"You brat! I want you to die—" Su Fengqu's eyes turned red from the provocation, and she bared her teeth and claws, trying to pounce on Lu Yangyang and strangle her.
“If you don’t want your leg to be crippled, I can cure it for you, but you must promise me that after you’re cured, you can’t keep bringing this up,” Lu Yangyang said calmly.
Su Fengqu was stunned for a moment: "What did you say? You can cure me? Who are you kidding? You're not trying to escape, are you? You're dreaming!"
Yan Yue finally realized this too. Oh right, how come he didn't think of that? What if Lu Yangyang could do it!
“Su Fengqu, listen to me, she really is capable. I’ll tell you the truth: the reason I’m standing here in front of you to participate in the polo match is because someone healed my leg. Otherwise, I would still be lying in bed, how could I be here! You saw me get injured with your own eyes, and the imperial physicians have records of it. You can ask me anytime how long it would have taken for my injury to heal!”
Upon hearing Yan Yue's words, the kneeling imperial physician regained his composure: "Young Master Su, what Young Master Yan said is true. I was the one who examined his injuries back then. He would definitely not be able to get out of bed for at least a month, let alone walk or ride a horse. I still have the diagnostic records with me; this cannot be faked. However..."
After the imperial physician finished speaking, he was still somewhat uncertain: "Young Master Yan injured his bone, and with enough rest, he will naturally recover. This is different from Young Master Su's situation. This young lady looks so young, is there really a way to cure her?"
"Yes, you're definitely lying to me, trying to trick me into letting this brat go!" Su Fengqu shouted, "Don't even think about it!"
"You..." Yan Yue was furious, but the key point was that if Su Fengqu didn't believe him, there was nothing he could do now.
“You need to think this through. If you trust others now, your leg will be ruined. If you trust me, you still have a sliver of a chance,” Lu Yangyang said.
“I…” Su Fengqu couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.
"This is utterly absurd! Everyone knows that Physician Lu is a master at treating bone injuries, and even he said it was impossible. What could such a young girl possibly do? Su Fengqu, have you lost your mind from the fall? How could you believe their nonsense!" The Fifth Prince walked over and shook his head with disdain.
"Well... there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people. As for the matter of mending broken tendons and bones, this old minister is indeed powerless. If there is anyone who might be able to do it, I'm afraid it's only that legendary Ghost Hand Doctor from more than ten years ago, and the immortal doctor from the Nine Immortal Islands overseas. But the immortal islands are hard to find, and the Ghost Hand Doctor has long since disappeared..." Physician Lu said hesitantly.
“Fengqu, Fifth Brother’s words may have been a bit blunt, but they are not without reason. This matter concerns your future, so it’s best to be cautious. Yan Yue has no ill intentions and just wants to heal you. Although I didn’t see what happened, I think it’s best to investigate before making a decision, whether it was an accident or not, so as not to wrong an innocent person.” The Third Prince also came over and said gently.
The Third Prince has always been gentle, and now that he has just left the palace to establish his own residence, he has already gained a reputation for virtue in the court.
People were willing to give him some face when he said that.
But Su Fengqu was no ordinary person.
If he had still retained some rationality and had been persuaded to stay calm, at this moment, it was as if he had just begun to have a glimmer of hope, only to be knocked down from a great height and smashed to pieces.
This not only declares that he is now disabled, but also blatantly tells him that he is now like a complete fool, fooled by Yan Yue and a young girl, and treated like an idiot.
How could Su Fengqu possibly swallow this insult!
He clenched his fists tightly, slammed them onto the ground, and shouted, "Men, cripple this ugly girl! Whoever cuts off one of her legs will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold!"
Upon hearing this, many people around lit up and their gazes all fell on Lu Yangyang.
You see, Su Fengqu wasn't exaggerating when he said that. Who doesn't want more money? Everyone couldn't help but call out to their guards, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred or so people surrounded them, trapping Yan Yue and Lu Yangyang in the middle.
To avoid injuring people, weapons are not allowed in Guanfeng Garden, but whips, sticks, and the like are still available.
A group of guards rushed towards Lu Yangyang.
Yan Yue wanted to protect her, but his leg injury had not fully healed, and he was no match for the many hands. He was quickly separated from them. Even though Lu Yangyang was small in stature but strong and agile, she was bound to get injured when surrounded by so many people.
She couldn't tell whether it was a stick or several whips that hit her; she lost her balance and was tripped and fell to the ground.
A thick stick was about to smash down on her leg.
"stop--"
