Chapter 1621: Chapter 1614: I Don’t Like Chu Yihan Anymore
Her harsh reproach was as sharp as a blade, seemingly capable of slicing off flesh from one’s body at any moment.
Empress Shu hurriedly spoke in a gentle tone, "Princess, please do not be angry. Yihan’s nature is cold and indifferent; he did not mean to hurt Miss Su intentionally. Would it be alright if I ask him to apologize to Miss Su?"
"Mother, do not be afraid, your son will not let her harm you." Chu Yihan gripped the Qingfeng Sword in his right hand, and despite having Long Shuli’s sword pointed at his face, he did not show the slightest fear.
Long Shuli’s eyes were cold and distant, "Fine then, don’t blame me, Your Highness, for being impolite."
Long Shuli thrust her sword at Chu Yihan, who parried with his own. The clash of their swords emitted intense sounds. Long Shuli feinted an attack at Chu Yihan but with a turn, her sword was then aimed straight at the Empress Shu.
Empress Shu, delicate and unskilled in martial arts, was immediately petrified with fear, her lips trembling without emitting a sound.
"Mother!"
"My lady!"
A red figure swiftly passed by, wrapping her arms around Empress Shu’s waist and saving her from beneath Long Shuli’s sword.
Su Yingxue held out her hand to stop Long Shuli, "My lady, please don’t do this!"
"Yingxue?"
Seeing Su Yingxue, Long Shuli immediately retracted the sharpness in her aura, becoming gentle and soft.
She sheathed her sword and pulled Su Yingxue closer, softly expressing concern, "My dear, what if I had hurt you just now? Are you feeling better? Are you still in pain?"
"I’m fine now... My lady!"
Just as Su Yingxue was about to say something, she saw Chu Yihan attacking Long Shuli. She threw herself at Long Shuli and took a heavy blow from Chu Yihan. Unprepared, she was thrown aside and crashed into a chair, feeling as though her chest was being churned by tumultuous waves.
"Pu!"
As Su Yingxue lay on the ground, she looked up with shock filling her eyes.
How much did Chu Yihan want to kill her?
Such profound inner strength in that palm strike.
"Yingxue!"
Long Shuli’s heart felt as though it had been struck by a blow. She hastily discarded her sword to help Su Yingxue, "Yingxue, don’t be afraid, I am here."
She quickly administered medicine to Su Yingxue and pressed her acupoints to stop the bleeding.
Before Su Yingxue fainted, she grasped at her lady’s sleeve and implored, "My lady, please... do not harm their mother and son, I... I do not like him anymore."
"Yingxue!"
Long Shuli quickly lifted Su Yingxue and took her back to the Marquis’s Manor for treatment.
A group of people streamed in and out in a frenzied bustle; by the time Empress Shu’s chamber fell silent, she was still shuddering with fright.
Using his sword as support, Chu Yihan stood up, gasping for breath with each step, and struggled to approach Empress Shu. He extended a soft gaze and a hand to her, "Mother, please stand up."
Empress Shu, still shaken, allowed Chu Yihan to lift her as though she were a marionette, not yet fully recovered.
Chu Yihan ordered Mo Qi to summon a court physician. He stayed with Empress Shu for her treatment until she was calmed and rested in her chamber.
Only then did Empress Shu regain her senses while lying in bed, her expression mournful, "Yihan, you acted impulsively this time. I’m afraid you’ll be punished again. Su Yingxue coughed up blood earlier, it must be a serious injury."
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes, filled with sorrow for Chu Yihan.
Su Yingxue is the pearl of Jiang Du City, adored by both the emperor and the empress, treasured beyond measure. She fancied Chu Yihan and was determined to have him at all costs!
Chu Yihan detested her since his youth, and she meddled in his possible marriages several times, deepening his repulsion. Yet she pursued him relentlessly, using every means at her disposal.
Over the years, they, mother and son, endured disdain and neglect, all of which were inseparable from Su Yingxue.
Even so...
Chu Yihan was without military power or significant office, and she was merely an empress dowager of little consequence; they had no way to contend with the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor or that renowned Princess Shu Li.
"Yihan, perhaps you should leave Jiang Du City for a while and lay low," Empress Shu suggested with concern, holding his hand.
Chu Yihan’s face was pale, his expression cold as if carved from stone, "Where can I go to avoid her in the Great Cheng Dynasty? Su Yingxue and her mother’s medical skills are unmatched in history; their influence spreads throughout the world. Where can I go where they will not find me?"
He fled like a street rat, nothing more.
Chu Yihan stared at his own palm, "If this prince did not kill Su Yingxue with one slap, then I should await her revenge."
If they have the guts, let Su Yingxue and her mother kill this powerless Your Highness!
He shall never submit to them!
Nevertheless, it was Su Yingxue’s words before she lost consciousness that he found laughable, "No longer fond of this prince..."
He even more wished her dead!
Chu Yihan is not an object, for her to pursue if she likes and to trample on if she does not!
After Su Yingxue returned injured, the Marquis’s Manor was brightly lit all night, with not a soul able to sleep, until Long Shuli managed to awaken her.
"Pu!"
Su Yingxue spat out another mouthful of coagulated blood, and only after the blood congestion in her chest had cleared, did she feel her chest not so unbearably stuffed.
"Mother, don’t go... don’t trouble him anymore."
"Mother..."
"Alright, mother won’t go! Now you better lie down quickly."
Long Shuli stayed with her all night, her stunning face showing signs of fatigue.
Su Yingxue persistently clutched at her sleeve, unwilling to let go for fear that once she did, her mother would carry a sword to the palace to kill.
Only then did she understand why Zhilan said her mother treated her with such extreme indulgence.
With such a pampered temperament, she indeed made for an Eldest Young Miss of the Marquis’s Manor that people didn’t favor.
No wonder she used to do things like chasing after Chu Yihan, forcing him to drink and drugging him.
"Mother, do you remember what I just told you? I no longer like Chu Yihan, I really don’t..."
Su Yingxue gazed earnestly at Long Shuli, feeling that it was necessary to put an end to this matter.
Otherwise...
She would sooner or later be killed by Chu Yihan.
"Yes, yes, yes, you don’t like him anymore, mother knows," Long Shuli replied perfunctorily.
She did not take Su Yingxue’s words to heart.
Su Yingxue blinked, "Did I say this before?"
Why did her mother not believe her at all?
Long Shuli snorted lightly, as Zhilan crouched by the bed and counting on her fingers, said, "Including this time, Miss, you’ve probably said it two hundred and fifty times."
Su Yingxue: ...
She wanted to dig a hole in the bed and bury herself.
"Mother, I will prove by my actions that I truly no longer like Chu Yihan!" Su Yingxue proclaimed with great determination, clenching her little fists.
"How will you prove it?" Knowing her daughter better than anyone, Long Shuli raised an eyebrow casually, leaving Su Yingxue perplexed.
Su Yingxue licked her lips, "That... the Seventh Prince has a liking for me, doesn’t he? I would like to meet him."
"Hmm?" Long Shuli’s exquisite eyebrows knitted together, "You’re willing to meet the Seventh Prince?"
"Willing! I’ll see him tomorrow! Mother, please send someone to the prince’s residence with an invitation tomorrow," Su Yingxue said with a sly glint in her eyes.
Long Shuli waved a hand dismissively, "I will have someone notify him now. He needs to prepare a gift for you, and that will take some time to arrange."
Su Yingxue: ...
She might as well go to sleep.
Up till now, she couldn’t accept the fact that she was pampered to a worryingly high status.
