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

Chapter 899: Chapter 897 Farewell

Su Yingxue, after listening, was shocked for a long time, she didn’t ask Chu Yihan why he cared so much.

Because at last, Chu Yihan said, “Never underestimate a young man who has someone in his heart. He will carefully accompany his young girl as she grows, secure for her a realm of thousands of miles, and hold her up to be the moonlight cherished by thousands.”

The moon shone so purely, its silver light casting beauty across the land, so breathtaking that one could hardly sleep, only wishing to be its companion for life.

——

Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan stayed in Great Wei for a month until Chu Yihan received a secret report and took Su Yingxue to bid farewell to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager’s eyes reddened with reluctance, “Are you leaving already? Can’t you stay a little longer? I still want to talk more with Yingxue.”

She had missed Zheng Er for more than twenty years, and these two months had been her happiest in many years. Seeing Su Yingxue was like seeing her own daughter. Su Yingxue’s departure felt as if her heart was being torn out.

Chu Yihan explained dispassionately, “The Great Cheng border is plagued with conflict, Old General Su has come to consult, and I must return to the court to stabilize the war situation. I cannot stay any longer, I hope the imperial grandmother will understand.”

The urgency of war affairs left no room for other considerations.

“This…” The Empress Dowager sighed and wept, “Well, the war is indeed urgent, you both should go back first.”

“It need not upset mother so much, if Your Highness is willing. Leave Yingxue in Yingdu, and after Your Highness has settled the border conflicts, you could then take Yingxue back. After all, Yingxue is a girl and surely she won’t be required to fight in the battle, right?”

Qin Ge couldn’t bear to see the Empress Dowager’s sorrow and thus advised.

“Your Highness is not reassured.”

Chu Yihan outright rejected Qin Ge’s suggestion.

“This…”

Qin Ge was somewhat embarrassed. Chu Yihan had always been respectful to her and the Empress Dowager. His sudden refusal was unexpected.

Su Yingxue turned her eyes and glanced at Chu Yihan, thinking to herself, “What’s there to be worried about?”

“You’re mischievous by nature and cannot stay still in the palace. What if you got lost in Great Wei?”

Chu Yihan cast a cool glance her way.

“I’m old enough. How could I possibly get lost?” Su Yingxue found the reason laughable.

“If Your Highness says you’ll get lost, then you’ll get lost!”

“I won’t…”

Su Yingxue pouted.

Listening on the side, Qin Ge laughed, “How could Yingxue possibly get lost? Even if she wanted to, the Imperial Guards of the palace and the Imperial Guards of Yingdu would protect her! Besides, she also has her two cousins, Ru Lie and Mu Yan. Yingxue in Great Wei is the most honored little princess. Who would dare to harm her, having the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard?”

“She is already Your Highness’s wife, and it wouldn’t be right to trouble others with her.”

Chu Yihan appeared polite on the surface, but his tone had already turned cold, sending a shiver down one’s spine.

Qin Ge couldn’t figure out which of her words had offended Chu Yihan. However, the Empress Dowager understood clearly, “It’s fine. Yingxue will be with her husband, and I have nothing to worry about. After you’ve packed, I’ll see you off.”

“Thank you, imperial grandmother.”

Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue bowed in unison and then went back.

Qin Ge stayed with the Empress Dowager, puzzled, “Mother, do you really bear to let Yingxue leave? The Ninth Prince is going back to the battlefield; bringing Yingxue might mean hardships for her. Wouldn’t it be better to have Yingxue stay and keep you company for a while longer?”

“Are you suggesting she stays to keep me company?” The Empress Dowager’s scrutinizing gaze settled on Qin Ge.
