Chapter 1232: Chapter 1228: Is it Zi Wei?
She drank the spiritual spring water handed to her by Su Yingxue and felt her body’s meridians become somewhat smoother. She whispered, “I’m fine.”
“How can you be fine? If it were any other time, you wouldn’t have gotten out of the carriage like last night and forced Chu Yifeng to act.” Su Yingxue’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed. Indeed, Chu Yifeng was a madman, and when he went mad, no one could stop him.
But Rong Sheng had also been acting…
Especially when they were arguing about Chu Xi.
Rong Sheng, rubbing her chest, said, “I don’t know why, but seeing Xi’er with him, I felt very jealous.”
“Jealous?” Su Yingxue didn’t understand why a mother would be jealous of her child being with their father.
...Rong Sheng opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but then she remembered that Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan were a loving couple, and she swallowed all the words she wanted to say.
When they arrived at the residence arranged by Chu Yifeng in Hangzhou city, Rong Sheng left Su Yingxue to check on Xiao Qingyu’s injuries.
As she passed by Chu Yifeng, even though her attire was not that neat, she carried an ethereal grace that made her impossible to ignore.
Chu Yifeng, holding Chu Xi in his arms, walked coldly past her and told Chu Xi, “Stay away from that woman in the future.”
Chu Xi pouted, “Daddy, don’t you like her?”
That was her mother, after all.
Like?
Chu Yifeng’s heart ached terribly, but he said with extreme coldness, “I will never like her.”
He loved Rong Sheng, and had become crazily obsessed to the point of madness.
But Rong Sheng was so cold. He imprisoned her, tormented her, and used all means, but still couldn’t keep her by his side.
Chu Yifeng, who had killed everyone opposed to him, was the only one left defenseless against Rong Sheng.
If there’s no way, then forget about her.
Anyways… The past he had with her was also slowly fading from his mind.
Though he didn’t know why this was happening, he could always feel that every day he woke up, some of the past with Rong Sheng would disappear along with the bouts of headaches he suffered.
Rong Sheng went to Xiao Qingyu’s room and found he was placed in the smallest and most remote room, which was also a bit dark and damp, far worse than the place where the old tiger beside Chu Yihan rested.
Before she could continue forward, she heard Xiao Qingyu’s servant, Mo Yun, complaining, “Master, you are the seventh young master of the Xiao family, when have you ever lived in such a room? It seems His Highness the Eighth Prince is deliberately making things difficult for you!”
Xiao Qingyu did not speak but just coughed heavily a few times.
He didn’t bother to compete with Chu Yifeng over such trivial matters. He knew that if he didn’t heal his injuries, he’d be nothing but a cripple, left powerless against whatever Chu Yifeng wished to do to him.
This was the fact.
“Master! You should tell the emperor!” Mo Yun didn’t believe that the emperor would mistreat Xiao Qingyu.
“Come back!”
Xiao Qingyu scolded coldly.
As Mo Yun turned to leave, he made way, and Rong Sheng’s figure appeared at the door. Dressed in pure white, she radiated a stunning beauty as she approached.
Xiao Qingyu immediately propped himself up with difficulty and sat up, “Doctor Rong.”
“I will trade rooms with you; you move to my room.” Rong Sheng spoke indifferently, stepped forward to take his pulse, and remained expressionless.
Yet the words she spoke were of concern for him.
Xiao Qingyu smiled and shook his head, “I’m not that delicate; I can’t let you suffer. I’ll just stay here, it’s just for one night anyway. The emperor will go to the Xiao family, and once we’re at the Xiao family, there’s nothing to fuss over.”
In the Xiao family, he as the seventh young master still had the final say, and Rong Sheng could choose to live wherever she wanted.
He would give Rong Sheng the best treatment.
“I am but your doctor, nothing more. Every doctor hopes their patient will recover as soon as possible.”
After giving him her diagnosis, Rong Sheng took out paper and pen to write the prescription. To others, she seemed as cold and ethereal as a fairy, without the madness she had when with Chu Yifeng.
At least in Xiao Qingyu’s eyes, she was the only fairy in this world.
Chu Yihan had settled Su Yingxue down and then discussed the next steps with her, “Recently, the Xiao family has been acting suspiciously. The Shadow Guards have reported that Xiao Muyan, the Second Young Master of the Xiao family, has been frequently crossing the national borders and has close dealings with the small countries of the nine provinces. He and Xiao Hui are biological brothers, and Xiao Hui’s actions may all be influenced by him. My visit to the Xiao family this time will surely involve revealing my identity to meet with Xiao Muyan.”
With a resigned smile, Su Yingxue said, “On this trip to Hangzhou, we’ve been so unsettled on the road, it seems meaningless to hide our identities now. It’s better to make them known. After all, the entire Great Cheng Dynasty is imperial territory, and the Xiao family, no matter how bold, wouldn’t dare to do anything to us, the emperor and the empress.”
“That’s true, but there’s some bad news,” Chu Yihan said, his lips pursed, hesitating before deciding to inform Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue clenched her hands nervously, “What bad news?”
“When Mo Qi took the Shadow Guards to investigate the Xiao family, he learned from a servant there that Xiao Yu and Miaoyan haven’t been seen in the Xiao family for a long time. Miaoyan’s due date has passed, and it’s possible… the Xiao family doesn’t know their whereabouts.”
That is to say, the couple might have both encountered trouble.
And Xiao Yu might not have been able to protect Su Miaoyan.
Su Yingxue’s heart sank, and she was beside herself with worry all night.
Chu Yihan had to deal with affairs concerning the Xiao family and often returned late, with Shan Bao standing guard outside the room of her and Chu Heng.
As Su Yingxue soothed Chu Heng to sleep, that nightmare invaded her mind again—Su Miaoyan’s face was tear-stained red as she held a bloodied infant, pleading for her help.
“Sister, save me, save my child…”
In the dream, Su Miaoyan’s cries for help were so heart-wrenching and painful.
“Thud!”
The sound of something heavy being smashed awoke Su Yingxue.
She quickly picked up the sleeping Chu Heng and went out to investigate.
Shan Bao was growling softly, as if sensing some danger, yet unable to pursue it.
Under the moonlight, Su Yingxue found a small bamboo tube.
She glanced back at the marks on the wooden post, surmising they were made by the bamboo tube.
Bending down, she picked up the tube and opened it, finding inside a note which she read by the moonlight. “Su Miaoyan and Xiao Yu went missing three months ago, separated, Su Miaoyan’s whereabouts unknown.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes widened in shock, and she shouted into the courtyard, “Who’s there?”
Who had brought this message to her?
She examined the handwriting carefully but couldn’t discern anything from it!
But this message…
She hurriedly took the child to find Chu Yihan, and when he saw the note, he immediately held her tight and asked, “Are you and Heng’er all right?”
Su Yingxue shook her head, “We’re fine, I only received this bamboo tube, but… how skilled must the person who delivered this message be in martial arts?”
The whole courtyard was filled with Chu Yihan’s Shadow Guards, and none had noticed when someone silently left the bamboo tube.
Such impressive lightness skill and inner strength!
Chu Yihan’s brows furrowed even tighter. While the news of Su Miaoyan and Xiao Yu was secondary, he was more concerned about this person with unknown origins.
