Chapter 1260: Chapter 1255: Zi Wei, Seventeen
Su Yingxue performed surgery on him, which was a huge physical drain, but adhering to her responsibility for him, she persisted until the surgery was completed and stayed by his side.
Zi Wei’s forehead broke out in sweat several times, and each time Su Yingxue wiped it away for him.
When sitting by her side, Su Yingxue asked, “Do all the assassins in Silver Moon Pavilion dislike talking?”
Zi Wei nodded, “Mhm.”
The speed of killing was a display of their abilities.
They didn’t need to be good at talking.
They just had to listen to the commands and dispatches of the Pavilion.
“Seventeen, I always feel like you remind me of someone from my past,” Su Yingxue said to herself.
When Zi Wei heard her call him Seventeen, he was taken aback for a moment.
Su Yingxue asked him, “You used to be called Seventeen, is it alright if I still call you that from now on?”
Zi Wei shook his head, “Won’t you give me a name?”
He thought that upon returning to Su Yingxue’s side, she would give him a name like she used to, trust him as before, and let him carry out his duty of protection.
Su Yingxue shook her head, “No, let’s just call you Seventeen. I once had a bodyguard, I named him, but he was special, so I won’t name another bodyguard again.”

Zi Wei was more than just a bodyguard to her, he was more like a family member she depended on in life and death.
In the world, there was only one Zi Wei, irreplaceable.
When Zi Wei heard Su Yingxue mention him, she had suspected if he was the same person, but this time, it was he who heard Su Yingxue bringing up himself, and it was the happiest mention.
In her heart, he also had a place, didn’t he?
Zi Wei lay back down and closed his eyes to recuperate, he needed to heal as quickly as possible and be in the best condition to protect Su Yingxue and her child.
However, he dreamt of Yue Lian. In the dream, Yue Lian was still gentle and charming. Seeing him, she smiled happily, “Hubby, the empress has taken you back by her side, congratulations, I am genuinely happy for you. You protect the empress, but also take care of yourself, don’t get injured again.”
“I…”
He was stunned, in the dream, he didn’t know how to respond to Yue Lian, and a feeling he couldn’t control gradually emerged from his heart, called guilt.
After Zi Wei rested, Su Yingxue went to see Xiao Yu again, not that she didn’t trust Rong Sheng’s medical skills but because she had to ensure Xiao Yu’s safety.
Mo Qi was guarding Xiao Yu’s door. When Su Yingxue came over and saw the door was open, she picked up her gown to step up the stairs and asked indifferently, “Is the emperor inside?”
Mo Qi shook his head, “The emperor is in the study handling official affairs, he instructed me to keep the door open and watch over.”
Mo Qi glanced inside, from his position, he could clearly see everything Rong Sheng did. He lowered his voice and told Su Yingxue, “The emperor is worried Rong Sheng might have a change of heart and make a move against Young Master Xiao.”
“She wouldn’t…”
She was about to assertively say this, but remembering Rong Sheng’s previous behavior, she swallowed the rest of her words.
After all, Chu Yihan was more thorough in his considerations.
Rong Sheng… was truly inscrutable.
Su Yingxue went to Xiao Yu’s bedside, held his wrist to take his pulse, and did a check-up on him. After she found that the treatment Rong Sheng had given him was very good, she let out a sigh of relief.
Rong Sheng stood not far from her, she had finished treating Xiao Yu and hadn’t approached him since; she was also conscious of Chu Yihan’s caution.
Su Yingxue was very grateful to her for saving Xiao Yu, she walked up to her and said warmly, “Sister Rong Sheng, thank you for your trouble this time, it’s still only your medical skills that are the most reassuring.”
