Chapter 89: Doting on You
Minister Sun complied with Sun Jiaojiao's wishes and sent a carrier pigeon to the Crown Prince, who was far away on the border quelling a rebellion, informing him of the Minister's Residence's difficult situation.
Although carrier pigeons were fast, it still took time to fly several thousand li.
Before the Crown Prince's reply arrived, Sun Jiaojiao's heart was in turmoil. She couldn't sleep peacefully. For several nights in a row, she summoned Xiao Er and Xiao Si to sleep with her.
However, she swore to heaven that although she was sandwiched between Xiao Er and Xiao Si like a cream cookie these past few days, she didn't have a single disorderly thought, nor was she in the mood to have sex with them. She was lucky if she could fall asleep at night. Even when she did, she would sometimes dream of being chased by assassins. She woke up screaming several times in the night, scaring herself into a cold sweat. Xiao Er would hold her tightly, patting her back and coaxing her, only then managing to calm her terrified state.
In truth, Sun Jiaojiao herself was not a coward. Back when the Crown Prince came to take her virginity in revenge, she hadn't panicked. All her panic now was because of Xiao Yi and Yu'er. The former had used his life to block a sword for her, the latter used her life to block a disaster for her. She sometimes wished she was the one who was injured, not the unconscious Xiao Yi and the defiled Yu'er.
During the day, Sun Jiaojiao would either go see Xiao Yi or go see Yu'er.
After Doctor Zhang took over Xiao Yi's treatment, although he hadn't woken up, he also hadn't died. This was good news amidst the bad.
Doctor Zhang told Sun Jiaojiao not to panic; he would definitely be responsible for saving the man's life.
As for Yu'er, who had lost her virginity out of a desperate desire to protect her master, Sun Jiaojiao took her in as a sworn sister. She vowed that she would never let Yu'er suffer even the slightest harm because of her again. For the rest of their lives, if Sun Jiaojiao had a bowl of meat to eat, Yu'er would also have a bowl of meat to eat. She would definitely find a good man for Yu'er and marry her off in grand style in the future.
But that was all for later. She couldn't attend to it right now...
The entire Minister's Residence had strengthened its security. But to everyone's dismay, before the Crown Prince's reply arrived, the Minister's Residence was attacked by several more waves of assassins.
Fortunately, these assassins didn't seem to really be after Sun Jiaojiao's life; they were more like smoke bombs.
Among the intercepted assassins, some said they were sent by the Imperial Consort, some by the Eighth Prince, and some by the Empress. It was a mix of truths and falsehoods, making it hard for Minister Sun to guess which deity wanted Sun Jiaojiao dead.
After holding out for five days, Sun Jiaojiao finally received two pieces of good news.
One piece of good news was that Xiao Yi had woken up. Although he was still very weak, Doctor Zhang said his life was saved. He just needed to be treated for a while and should be able to recover.
The other piece of good news was that the Crown Prince had replied.
The Crown Prince replied briefly in his letter, then informed the Minister's Residence that he had already sent word to the Crown Prince's Residence, dispatching a full half of the Crown Prince's Residence's personal soldiers to guard the Minister's Residence. He would absolutely not allow those with ulterior motives to have any opportunity.
Sun Jiaojiao felt much more at ease after seeing the letter.
She had personally witnessed how strong the Crown Prince's forces were. On the night her virginity was taken, the Crown Prince had brought his men and silently immobilized all the guards in the Minister's Residence.
After the personal soldiers from the Crown Prince's Residence surrounded the Minister's Residence to protect the future Crown Princess, Sun Jiaojiao began to wait eagerly for the Crown Prince's return-because the Crown Prince had written one sentence at the very end of the letter.
Jiaojiao, do not panic. Wait for This Prince to return and back you up.
