Su Yingxue found him noisy, so she fed him some calming medicine, allowing him to fall asleep first.
Upon hearing of her return, Saint Ruan promptly made his way over. âHey, arenât you planning to perform surgery on your Father? Look at his confused state, he wonât last much longer. If this continues, wonât Your Highness be in trouble?â
Saint Ruan raised his eyebrows.
He glanced at Chu Yihan, who sat composed not too far away.
Why else would they say Chu Yihan was impressive?
It was one thing to be impolite in front of the emperor, but in the Capital Prefecture, he had effortlessly abducted prisoners and guarded them firmly.
Even if his brother Chu Mingyuan wanted to act similarly, he would have to consider the opinions of the court officials, right?
Su Yingxue sat beside Chu Yihan, her brows never relaxing.
Chu Yihan gently caressed her cold hand, his voice protective. âIf youâre uncertain, Iâll ask Saint Ruan to treat your father.â
âMe? I donât know how to perform surgery. 1 canât do it!â Saint Ruan exclaimed.
Chu Yihanâs gaze was cold. âIf you canât cure him, it will be your life on the line.â
Saint Ruan was speechless.
He had never encountered such a shameless person in his seventy years of life!
âWhat the heck! Your womanâs life matters, but my life doesnât, huh? Annoying!â Saint Ruan thought to himself.
But he was utterly helpless. He had ventured into this place, surrounded by Chu Yihanâs men. He couldnât escape.
Saint Ruan was helpless. âIf you canât do it, bring out your surgical tools.â
He rubbed his hands. âBut let me clarify first, twenty years ago, 1 only dissected a rabbit with your mother. Iâve never dissected a person. If someone dies, youâre not allowed to treat me as a patricide!â
Whether he lived or died, he didnât want this little girl to hold a grudge against him!
Su Yingxueâs expression darkened, yet she remained silent.
It wasnât that she didnât dare, she was waiting.
She was waiting for someone.
Or rather, she was waiting for his scent.
The mysterious man wore a black hat, yet was familiar with her mother and always referred to her as a child.
âYour Highness, Liang Jin is here.â
Outside the door, Mo Qi reported.
Chu Yihan replied calmly, âTell him that I am bringing people to treat Marquis Su. If he wants to wait, he is not allowed to disturb me.â
Mo Qi conveyed the message, causing Liang Jin to feel a headache coming on. âItâs fine if Your Highness wants to treat Marquis, but why must you kidnap the prisoners from the prison?â
He couldnât care less about Chu Yihanâs actions, but the person he kidnapped was his prisoner!
Mo Qi knew Liang Jin was helpless, but he straightforwardly told him, âNo one can interfere with the way Your Highness does things. If Lord Liang wants to take her away, you can give it a try.â
Mo Qi gestured for Liang Jin to look behind him.
Liang Jin turned around. Outside the courtyard, besides Chu Yihanâs elite soldiers, there were also his Shadow Guards.
Legend had it that Chu Yihanâs Shadow Guards were iron-willed men, capable of claiming enemy generalsâ heads on the battlefield and intimidating court officials. To Chu Yihanâs enemies, they were nightmarish.
Even the emperor feared their deployment by Chu Yihan.
Liang Jin was furious, yet he could only wait in the courtyard.
After a while, Su Yingxue came out of her room and started moving around the Marquisâs Manor alone.
Zi Wei guarded her side worriedly. Su Yingxue gestured for him to leave.
Zi Wei vanished immediately.
Only when she was alone did Su Yingxue finally feel a sense of relief.
However, she didnât encounter the black-cloaked man she was waiting for. Instead, she saw Lan Ling, who had brought the Imperial Guards and the palace guards.
When Lan Ling saw her, a trace of emotion quickly flashed across his eyes. He immediately attacked her..
