Chapter 114: She’s Too Pitiful
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Chu Yihan brought her back five years ago, he secured a Princess’s Manor for her and told her that if her life was ever in danger, she could seek him out at the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
Little did he expect that when they reunited five years later, she would be in such a state.
Chu Yihan’s tone remained calm and unruffled, devoid of any sentiment. There was no trace of empathy or regret.
However, Lian’er felt wronged on behalf of Sheng Ping. She knelt before Chu Yihan, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded, “Your Highness, please pardon me. The princess has endured so much suffering over these five years. She said that unless her life is at stake, she must not disturb Your Highness. Even tonight, she forbade me from seeking Your Highness’s help. But I’m truly terrified that the princess won’t survive…”
Princess Sheng Ping was a rare beauty, her eyes shimmering like glass, exuding an enchanting allure.
When ordinary men saw her like this or listened to Lian’er’s words, they would feel their hearts ache and be moved. However, Chu Yihan merely responded with a casual “Hmm.”
She was not curious about what happened to Sheng Ping, nor did she feel any pity for her.
Su Yingxue suddenly felt that this man was too cold-blooded.
After all, she was a beauty he had brought back from conquering the country. Didn’t he feel sorry for her?
Chu Yihan turned his head around, and as if he had seen through her thoughts, he said coldly, “Those unrelated to me won’t elicit my sympathy.”
His words were truly cutting.
Inside the bedroom, Sheng Ping, her eyes blurred with tears, heard Chu Yihan’s words, and her last emotional defense crumbled.
Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan had stood vigil over Sheng Ping throughout the night. When she awoke the next morning, Su Yingxue prepared another dose of medicine for her to take before departing.
“Dr. Su, please wait.”
Sheng Ping sat on the bed. The pain was unbearable, but she still insisted on bowing to Su Yingxue. “Dr. Su, I’m deeply indebted to you for saving my life. Thank you.”
As a woman, Su Yingxue naturally felt sorry for her.
She helped Sheng Ping to sit up, and spoke gently, “1 don’t like to meddle in other people’s business. But as your doctor, I hope that you can take good care of your body. Given your current situation… bearing children might not be advisable. Please, in the future, prioritize your well-being.”
A touch of melancholy flickered across Sheng Ping’s delicate face. “Thank you, Dr. Su. As for the future… Let it be.”
“Let it be?” This was the first time Su Yingxue had heard a woman speak with such despair.
What could have possibly transpired to lead this young girl to utter such words?
Lian’er had been serving Sheng Ping since she was young. Seeing her like this, she cried heartbroken. “Princess, when will these days end? If no one protects you, in the future…You’re going to be tortured to death by those people!”
She knelt before Chu Yihan, crying desperately. “Your Highness, please have mercy. Take the princess as your wife, offer her your protection! Princess is too pitiful!”
“Lian’er, don’t spout nonsense! Come back!”
Sheng Ping was always strong in front of Su Yingxue, but when Lian’er cried and begged Chu Yihan, she panicked. The fragility in her eyes broke down in an instant, and her tears kept falling.
Chu Yihan’s brows furrowed, his deep, cold eyes exuding an unrelenting demeanor. “I will not marry her.”
Sheng Ping clenched her lips tightly, suppressing the heartache that surged within her. “Sheng Ping understands that she doesn’t warrant Your Highness’s attention. I dare not hope for such a privilege. Lian’er was just speaking casually.”
Lian’er shook her head desperately, “No, Princess! I’m not saying this casually. Other than the emperor, only Ninth Prince can protect you. Only by marrying Your Highness can you not be remembered by those thieves and not be bullied by them! Otherwise, your life will be in danger in the future….”
