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

Chapter 1240: Chapter 1235: Cannot Hold Rong Sheng Back

Rong Sheng quickly became cautious, releasing two silver needles from her hand.

Not hearing the sound of the silver needles hitting the wall, she saw a shadow flash by.

But she didn’t know martial arts, and had no way to catch up.

By the time she collected her thoughts, Chu Yifeng had already swiftly moved in front of her, pulling her into his arms.

Rong Sheng crashed into his broad chest, where a soft Chu Xi was also being held, and suddenly, Rong Sheng felt a tenderness in her heart.

The deep voice of Chu Yifeng sounded, “If you don’t want to die, stick close to Your Highness.”

These people of the Xiao family were not the only treacherous ones; Rong Sheng had insisted on coming here in the middle of the night without waiting for Chu Yihan, inevitably getting in the way of the Xiao family’s plans, otherwise they wouldn’t have been so eager to make a move on her.

With bated breath, Rong Sheng followed behind Chu Yifeng. She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but while earlier she had felt the night’s chill and a sense of crisis everywhere, behind Chu Yifeng, she couldn’t detect even a hint of danger.

Rong Sheng convinced herself that perhaps there was no one more dangerous to her than Chu Yifeng at this point.

In Xiao Muyan’s courtyard, the steward stamped his feet in agitation, “Second Young Master, the assassination attempt failed, that Eighth Prince is detestable! With him around, we can’t touch that Rong Sheng.”

If she insisted on seeing Xiao Qingyu, Xiao Qingyu’s condition would be exposed, and if Chu Yihan discovered something, it would be troublesome!

A venomous glint appeared in the eyes of the slender Xiao Muyan, “Hasn’t Xiao Qingyu been trying to curry favor with Doctor Rong these past few years?”

Originally, when Xiao Hui wanted to woo Rong Sheng, he was severely chastised by Xiao Qingyu, so now… Rong Sheng became the perfect leverage to threaten Xiao Qingyu!

In the dark dungeon, Xiao Qingyu was covered in wounds from torture, and the taste of saltwater lingered on the injuries.

Xiao Muyan had people drag him to the ancestral hall, forcing him to keep kneeling. She stood in front of Xiao Qingyu and warned coldly, “The Eighth Prince is bringing that Doctor Rong here to treat you. Do you know what you should and shouldn’t say?”

“Heh… Hahaha!”

Xiao Qingyu knelt on the ground, lifted his head, and fiercely spit a mouthful of blood at Xiao Muyan, “You still have concerns, after all! Xiao Muyan, do you dare to kill me outright?”

“You think I don’t dare?” Xiao Muyan’s grip tightened fiercely around his neck. When her laughter turned sinister, she sounded like an evil ghost that crawled out of hell, “I know you like Rong Sheng and that she has a unique identity, deeply entangled with the Eighth Prince. You’re not afraid to die, sticking to your guns more stubbornly than a dead duck, but are you afraid that I’ll directly stir up enmity between the Eighth Prince and Rong Sheng, making him, the Silver Moon Pavilion Master, personally kill Rong Sheng?”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

A surge of endless rage welled up in Xiao Qingyu’s heart as he lunged toward Xiao Muyan with all his might.

Of course, Xiao Muyan wasn’t about to let him reach her. She stepped on Xiao Qingyu’s hand and warned him, “If you want to stay alive and not cause Rong Sheng’s death, then just play along and send her away. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make sure none of you get out of this alive!”

Xiao Qingyu painfully propped himself up, watching Xiao Muyan leave with arrogance. He hated that he was now completely powerless to resist!

Every word Xiao Muyan said threatened and constrained him.

His oldest brother and sister-in-law were missing, and the Xiao family was now completely under Xiao Muyan’s control. Those who disappeared were all buried by him in Baili Villa as fertilizer for the flowers. With his crippled body, he couldn’t even protect himself, how could he protect Rong Sheng?

He couldn’t… drag her down with him anymore!
