The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1057: Chapter 1055: Tyrant or Enlightened Ruler

Su Miaoyan clasped her hands together, gazing at the moon as she prayed incessantly, “I beseech the immortals on the moon to pity Sister Xue. She possesses superb medical skills, dedicated to healing the sick. Please don’t let anything happen to her!”

If she and the child were to meet with misfortune, then the heavens would be truly unjust.

Inside the chamber, the court physician knelt outside the gauze curtain while Saint Ruan knelt within, both finding the situation difficult to endure.

Especially Saint Ruan, who after muttering that Su Yingxue had merely fainted from exhaustion and would recover upon waking, was scolded by Chu Yihan, “Faint from no cause? No one leaves until she awakens!”

Saint Ruan rubbed his numb knees, looking at Su Yingxue on the bed, and muttered under his breath, “Madam, please wake up quickly! If you don’t wake, how many others must kneel with you?”

Though they were all in the same place, the difference in their positions was too great!

Su Yingxue lay comfortably asleep, while they… their knees were on the icy ground, kneeling until they could vomit blood!

Chu Yihan held Su Yingxue’s hand tightly, refusing to let go. His ears heard multiple court physicians say that Su Yingxue had just fainted from exhaustion and would be fine upon waking, but he wished he could chase after her in her dreams to make sure she would awaken.

The scorching warmth of his palms enveloped Su Yingxue’s hands until they felt ice cold. Although he knew she couldn’t hear him, he couldn’t help but say, “If you hold me in your heart, see our child as important, you wouldn’t treat your body so poorly! To you, I seem no better than a raging flood or a ferocious beast, reluctant and unwilling, not wanting to come to me!”

Su Yingxue struggled continuously in her dream, desperately wanting to wake up immediately and explain to Chu Yihan that she only wished to protect Sister Jinyan and the child, not wanting him to misunderstand.

But her body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, unable to awaken and growing increasingly heavier.

The little creature in her stomach seemed ready to throw a tantrum at any moment.

What a rascal of a child!

Once born, it wouldn’t have an easy time!

Su Yingxue’s sleep was anything but peaceful, struggling until the sun was three poles high before she finally awoke, groggily.

For her sake, Chu Yihan had skipped the morning court session that day, claiming it was preparation for the wedding.

Meanwhile, news that people from the Marquis’s Manor had kneeled throughout the night quickly spread around the palace.

In the Noble Consort’s Palace, Chu Jinling thought to himself while having breakfast, “Imperial Uncle’s anger is so excessive! Old General Su is after all Auntie’s grandfather. He was even punished to kneel all night in the palace. If Auntie wakes up and finds out, she would be so heartbroken!”

Upon hearing his words, Noble Consort Xiao rubbed his head and chided him, “You still have a child’s heart and understand too little! Even if they are relatives by blood, what of it? Privately they are family, but in public, they are sovereign and subject and must observe the proprieties between them. Your Auntie is the empress, an incident occurred in the Marquis’s Manor, and should your Imperial Uncle, the Emperor, be angered enough to annihilate the entire Marquis’s Manor, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.”

“Damn! Imperial Uncle is way too frightening!”

Startled, Chu Jinling swallowed a small steamed bun whole.

Noble Consort Xiao laughed, not taking it seriously, “You’ve known your Imperial Uncle for more than a day, can’t you see the tyrannical nature in him?”

“A tyrant? Imperial Uncle is a wise ruler!”

Chu Jinling shook his head and continued to sip his porridge.

“Behind a wise ruler’s facade, there lies the side of a tyrant. If his most beloved suffers the slightest injury, he could instantly become a tyrant,” replied Noble Consort Xiao as she lightly bit into a crystal bun, finding the taste quite intriguing.

Thinking of Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue, a trace of interest flickered through her crystal-like eyes.
