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

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1272: Only One Person Can Survive

The most despicable act was that Xiao Muyan made those who had once served Xiao Yu into Gu corpses. Their appearances had turned grotesque, devoid of consciousness, yet under the control of the Gu insects, they attacked with vicious force.

The first night Su Miaoyan had a nightmare beside Xiao Yu, she saw Xiao Si turned into a Gu corpse. Xiao Si was usually a meticulous person, following Xiao Yu faithfully. Yet, he still possessed some youthful spirit and occasionally took advantage of Xiao Yu’s absence to complain about her.

“Madam, why are you climbing trees? People will laugh at you!”

“Madam, the young master has been waiting for you in the front hall to dine, for half an hour now!”

“Madam, if you keep being so mischievous, even the young master inside you will be spoiled!”

…

As Xiao Si was dying, he protected her, killing a doctor affected by Gu for her. But in the blink of an eye, his head was decapitated by the falcon guard.

Blood seemed to cloud Su Miaoyan’s eyes, “No——!”

“Clang!”

Xiao Si’s head fell to the ground, and his body knelt down, collapsing into a mound of mud.

That night, as they fled to the wilderness, Su Miaoyan leaned into Xiao Yu’s arms, repeatedly recalling the nightmare during the day. She desperately wanted to cry but couldn’t shed a tear anymore.

There was no longer a loyal Xiao Si, who occasionally complained about her but always for their own good.

The falcon guards surveyed the surroundings, knowing the difficulty of survival here. They suggested to Xiao Yu, “Young Master, while the Gu corpses have not yet caught up, we must immediately stock up on some water and food.”

Xiao Yu nodded, “Ying Wu, stay behind to protect Yan’er and my aunt. I will go with you to find water and food.”

They left immediately, with Ying Wu guarding outside the canyon.

Aunt Yin glanced at the entrance of the canyon. The place had strong winds, was hot during the day and cold at night—a harsh place to live, and water and food were hard to find.

She returned to Su Miaoyan’s side, removed her outer garment, wrapped it around Su Miaoyan, and gently patted her back, “Madam, we can’t nurture your body properly now. You must hold on.”

Su Miaoyan was already so weak that she couldn’t walk on her own and needed Xiao Yu to carry her.

Yet, her resilient will impressed Aunt Yin, who coughed twice but still managed a soft, tender laugh, “Brother Yu will cure me, I believe in him! It’s just hard on Ningning now, with no breast milk available, only able to give him a little clear water. I wonder if he would ever resent me, his mother.”

As she spoke, she looked down and kissed the sleeping child.

He was so well-behaved that they all felt relieved, thinking of the child as a comforting presence.

Tears shimmered in Aunt Yin’s eyes, and she hugged Su Miaoyan, sobbing reluctantly, “Madam, I fear, you being the most pampered youngest daughter at home, might not withstand such rough and tumbling exile.”

“Why do you say that, Aunt? As long as Brother Yu is here, I will not fall!” Su Miaoyan lifted her head from her embrace, her cheeks thinned down, but her eyes were still brightly sparkling, “I may not be able to help Brother Yu much, but I will always stay by his side.”

“But what if one day, only Madam or the Eldest Young Master can survive?” Aunt Yin’s throat tightened nervously as she asked.

Su Miaoyan was stunned, her thoughts drifting back to the scene of Xiao Si collapsing.

Her eyes filled with sorrow, “Must there be such a day?”

For those who think Miaoyan is weak, have you considered that she is just a teenage girl who has been cherished all her life~
