Chapter 863: Chapter 861: Shen Yu Hits the Wall
рlease reading οn ΒXΝOVEL.ϹΟM“Under the watchful eyes of the public, the court physician dared not tamper with anything,” Chu Yihan said coldly, his oppressive gaze piercing through Qin Ge.
Between the court physician and Qin Ge, only Qin Ge was the most suspect.
“Chu Yihan, do not make baseless accusations against my mother. She has always been fair and would never make a mistake with the results,”
Although Qin Muyan couldn’t accept the outcome, he believed in his mother and couldn’t think of any reason she would err.
“Chu Yihan, the Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty respects you, but that doesn’t mean you can insult my aunt, the Eldest Princess of Great Wei!”
Qin Rulie’s face was filled with indignation.
The Imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty always treated each other with mutual respect and affection, and did not allow outsiders to interfere.
Seeing the conflict between the Qin brothers and Chu Yihan escalating, the Empress Dowager spoke out, “Enough, the Ninth Prince means well and bears no ill intent. Now that the results are out, Zhao’er is indeed my own granddaughter, so let’s put an end to this commotion.”
Although she recognized Shen Yu’s identity, her fond gaze still lingered on Su Yingxue.
She looks just like my Zheng Er!
Kneeling at the Empress Dowager’s feet, Shen Yu clenched her teeth in silent hatred. The Empress Dowager still held onto her fondness for Su Yingxue. If she had another trick up her sleeve, Shen Yu would still find it difficult to cope.
Resolutely, she stood up, holding her skirt, and cried softly, “I know I am not as beautiful as Miss Su, nor do I possess her noble status. It’s clear Zhao’er is not worthy of this princess’s title. Better for Zhao’er to seek my mother in the netherworld!”
With those words, she violently rushed toward a nearby pillar.
“Bang!”
Blood splattered everywhere.
The Empress Dowager covered her heart in alarm, “Zhao’er!”
“Zhao’er!”
“Cousin!”
Qin Ge and Qin Rulie hurried over too, lifting her up to take her away and calling for the court physician to treat her, causing a frantic bustle in the Funing Palace.
Only Qin Muyan approached Su Yingxue and said in a low voice, “Yingxue, let me take you back to the palace to rest for now. It’s not suitable for you to stay in the palace any longer.”
At this moment, Qin Rulie was preoccupied with the suicide attempt of Shen Yu, temporarily forgetting the predicament between Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue, which also helped avoid some conflicts.
Su Yingxue was about to say something when Chu Yihan pulled her into his embrace. His eyes were cold, and his words carried an innate authority, “There’s no need to trouble yourself, Your Highness. I will protect the Princess.”
“Chu Yihan, this is the Great Wei Dynasty, do not overstep!” Qin Muyan snorted coldly, still unwilling to let go of the suspicion Chu Yihan had towards his mother earlier.
But Chu Yihan, holding Su Yingxue, walked away.
They just left like that.
Su Yingxue did not turn back to look at him again.
A sense of disappointment flooded Qin Muyan’s heart.
His dejected figure was noticed by Qin Ge.
Qin Ge, observant and detail-oriented, knew she hadn’t misjudged the situation; Qin Muyan must have feelings for Su Yingxue.
But now, Su Yingxue was already Chu Yihan’s Princess.
Qin Ge’s brow furrowed tightly at the thought.
The lapse in focus she had experienced earlier still lingered in her mind. It was as if she had done something instinctively, yet now she couldn’t remember it at all.
Her body had never exhibited such strange symptoms before.
It was as though a man’s voice had issued her a command in her mind…
“What’s wrong with mother?” Qin Muyan turned around, noticed Qin Ge standing behind him with an inscrutable expression, and quickly showed concern.
Qin Ge extended her hand for him to hold and said, “Mu Yan, come with mother.”
Shen Yu was being treated in a side hall while Qin Ge and Qin Muyan went to the courtyard in the palace.
Qin Ge dismissed the palace servants nearby and when alone with Qin Muyan, her scrutinizing gaze fell upon him, “Did you refuse to marry Zhao Hua because of this Su Yingxue? You like her!”
