Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The corners of Consort Xiang’s mouth curled up into a bitter smile. “What use is it for the emperor to protect me? Will he investigate the cause of my poisoning and punish the Empress to avenge me?”
“Your Majesty, with the assistance of Genius Doctor Chu, this matter is not impossible.” Xiang Ling supported Consort Xiang and remembered the torment she had endured over the years, feeling deeply distressed.
The sapphire-like eyes of Consort Xiang radiated brilliance. “It might indeed work!”
As long as she could protect herself and cure her illness, why couldn’t she seek revenge on the Empress?
On the carriage leaving the palace, Su Yingxue continued to wear her bamboo hat, refusing to take it off or speak to Chu Yihan. No matter how Chu Yihan looked at her, she acted as if he was inconsequential.
Chu Yihan’s voice was cold. “I was waiting for you in the prince’s mansion. Why didn’t you wait for me?”
She was the one who broke the promise. He tried to coax her, yet she still harbored such animosity towards him?
The stack of books brought by Mo Qi was nothing but rubbish!
If he hadn’t brought it up, Su Yingxue wouldn’t have been so angry. However, the moment he mentioned it, Su Yingxue recalled seeing Hong Lian in his prince’s mansion. Hong Lian, with the airs of a mistress, told her that she hadn’t attended to Chu Yihan yet…
Her heart felt as if it had been ruthlessly squeezed.
After the carriage left the palace, Su Yingxue turned around and glared at Chu Yihan. “1 went to look for you, but since you’ve someone to serve you, why did you come and provoke me? 1, Su Yingxue, don’t want to do something that takes away someone else’s favor!”
If Chu Yihan was indecisive, she wouldn’t bother with him!
Su Yingxue quickly jumped off the carriage, and Zi Wei appeared just in time. Before Chu Yihan could react, she had already disappeared into the streets.
Chu Yihan returned to the prince’s mansion, seething with anger, and immediately summoned everyone to question them.
Mo Qi trembled. “Master, 1 asked, and Miss Su did come, but she left before you arrived.”
“Why did she leave? And even said that someone would serve me. Who is attending to me?” Chu Yihan’s anger was icy, and Mo Qi immediately knelt.
The people in the courtyard knelt, not daring to make a sound, fearing that they would only anger Chu Yihan.
“If you can’t figure out this matter, all of you get out of my prince’s mansion!”
Chu Yihan shouted in anger, causing everyone to tremble in fear.
The old housekeeper couldn’t help but speak. “Your Highness, before the arrival of the genius doctor, Lady Hong Lian also came. I wonder if the two of them met.” “Hong Lian?” Chu Yihan’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
He took out the things that Hong Lian had annotated with a red pen on the desk and looked at them. Then, he remembered what he had done to Su Yingxue yesterday, which had led to her disgust and anger towards him today.
Chu Yihan immediately threw the books at Mo Qi. “Tell Hong Lian that she is no longer allowed to enter the prince’s mansion!”
“Your Highness, Hong Lian has always had a good relationship with you…” Mo Qi stared at him in disbelief. Hong Lian had been on good terms with Chu Yihan for many years, yet now she was forbidden from entering the prince’s mansion?
“Do you want me to say it again?” Chu Yihan’s eyes carried a stormy darkness as if one more glance would be fatal.
Mo Qi didn’t dare to delay and immediately went to the Silver Moon Pavilion to convey Chu Yihan’s order.
Upon hearing about the unpleasantness between Chu Yihan and the genius doctor, Hong Lian’s face broke into a bewitching smile, and her eyes filled with a seductive charm.
But Mo Qi’s face turned grim as he informed her that Chu Yihan forbade her from entering the prince’s mansion. Her smile froze on her face. “How is that possible? How could this happen? Your Highness wouldn’t do this to me!”
It felt as if Hong Lian’s heart had been pierced by a sharp blade. She grabbed Mo Qi, panic filling her eyes. “Did you hear wrong? How could Your Highness be angry with me? We have known each other for so many years, and we have such a good relationship….”
