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

Chapter 897: Chapter 895: Live and Die with the Master

“Ah…”

Su Yingxue fell into a deep sleep, far from thinking about the matter of having a daughter.

In her dreams, she was only considering when she could stand up straight tomorrow.

——

Qin Rulie decided to execute Mu Fei. When Mu Fei was led out through the Noon Gate, he wore a calm expression, as if the outcome did not surprise him at all.

He had deliberately disfigured his face, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance.

Qin Muyan oversaw the execution, tossing out a bamboo slip, and the executioner’s blade fell swiftly.

Mu Fei was rapidly reduced to a corpse.

Before his death, the image that flashed through his mind was that of Ah Jing.

It was truly a pity he couldn’t see her one last time.

But the thought of her basking in the sun each day from now on, as charming as it was today, filled him with joy.

“Young girl, your master can no longer stay with you forever.”

In Funing Palace.

Su Yingxue had planned to check on Ah Jing’s health, but upon entering the palace, she found that Ah Jing had already breathed her last.

Her lips trembled, “How could this have happened? Why!!!”

She hastily called for Madam Fu. Madam Fu, seeing Ah Jing’s body, was equally astonished, “How… How did this happen? The maid has been well looked after, and her health was fine, without any problems. How could she have died?”

Su Yingxue’s outcry alerted the Empress Dowager.

She was speaking with Chu Yihan.

Upon hearing the news, Chu Yihan stood up, “Your Highness will go and have a look, do not worry.”

“Good, with you by Yingxue’s side, this dowager feels somewhat relieved.”

The Empress Dowager waved her hand, letting Chu Yihan go.

When Chu Yihan arrived, Su Yingxue was examining Ah Jing’s body. It seemed Ah Jing had been poisoned; a poisonous insect had been found inside her body, and it was this insect that had bitten her to death!

However, the insect was also dead.

Su Yingxue didn’t quite understand these matters with poisonous insects, so Qin Muyan brought the court physician, who presented another dead insect, finally clearing up Su Yingxue’s confusion, “These are United Heart Gu insects, residing inside a person’s body. If one of the two insects dies, the other will die immediately. When placed inside two people’s bodies, it binds their fates together.”

“Does that mean that with Mu Fei’s death, Ah Jing would also die?”

Su Yingxue’s eyes blazed with anger, her teeth clenching in hate, “Damned Mu Fei! He even had to drag Ah Jing down with him in death!”

Su Yingxue wished she could haul Mu Fei’s body over for a merciless whipping!

“It’s not necessarily someone’s doing on purpose. The United Heart Gu requires both individuals to ingest it willingly, and they develop a connection. If there are no feelings between two people, they could not take the Gu.” the court physician said.

“Two… people with feelings for each other?”

Su Yingxue suddenly didn’t understand, “Could it be… Ah Jing liked Mu Fei?”

“Mu Fei might not be indifferent to her either.”

Chu Yihan’s hand rested on Su Yingxue’s shoulder, “Do you remember the scene when Mu Fei seized the young girl, threatening you? He was waiting for you.”

“Waiting for me?”

Su Yingxue’s mind revisited the scene from that night. Everyone around Mu Fei was dead, leaving only Ah Jing. Then, when he saw her, he grabbed Ah Jing by the neck, claiming he would use her to threaten Su Yingxue.

Instantly, it sparked her instinct to protect Ah Jing.

Afterwards…

“Mu Fei liked Ah Jing. At that time, he threatened me by seizing Ah Jing by the neck, was it just to protect her, to make me spare her?”

Su Yingxue suddenly realized.
