Cold and Aloof, Jealous

Su Yingxue couldnât help but laugh. Qin Muyan was persistent!
However, his persistence was adorable, and it didnât cause any annoyance.
She gave Qin Muyan the medicine and then returned to Chu Yihanâs side.
As she entered the room, she caught sight of Zi Wei.
He was accustomed to lurking in the darkness, not showing himself or causing any disturbance. But whenever she was in danger, he would immediately stand in front of her.
That sense of security was truly comforting.
Su Yingxue smiled at him.
In the darkness, Zi Weiâs cold heart skipped a beat.
Her smile was so beautiful.
Being by Chu Yihanâs side made him less icy. When he wasnât sleepy, he would engage in casual conversation with her.
As they discussed the palaceâs situation that day, Su Yingxue gained insight into Chu Yihanâs thoughts. She understood why he hadnât seized the throne and instead allowed Chu Mingyuan to sit on it.
It was his way of punishing Chu Mingyuan.
However, the empressâs behavior surprised Su Yingxue.
Seated at the head of the bed, with her right hand interlocked with Chu Yihanâs left, Su Yingxue asked, âWhy did she go to the imperial study today? Isnât she afraid youâll kill her?â
The empress must be afraid of death!
Especially of Chu Yihan.
âShe wasnât looking for the imperial brother,â Chu Yihan replied calmly. âShe was looking for her son.â
âHer son? Speaking of Chu Chengye, I wonder if heâs still alive. Should I go take a look?â
Suddenly, Su Yingxue remembered poisoning Chu Chengye. Could he be dead now?
The poison was potent, and if a person had weak willpower, they might succumb to the torment and end their suffering.
âDonât go!â Chu Yihan pressed her down, his strength domineering. âWhat does his life and death have to do with you? Do you still want to see him?â
The last question carried a dangerous tone.
It sent shivers down Su Yingxueâs arms.
Shaking her head, she said, âNo, let him be. It wouldnât be a loss if he dies anyway.â
Su Yingxueâs indifferent attitude reassured Chu Yihan. His smile deepened.
âWhat are you laughing at, Your Highness? I donât care if Chu Chengye lives or dies. Are you that happy?â Su Yingxue couldnât understand.
Chu Yihan nodded. âYes. Ever since you fell in love with him, Iâve wanted to kill him for a long time.â
Su Yingxue was shocked. âReally?â
Chu Chengye was Chu Yihanâs nephew after all!
Was the imperial uncle so ruthless?
âWhen he made you cry, I broke his leg,â Chu Yihan mentioned casually.
Su Yingxue recalled the incident and slapped her thigh. âSo it was Your Highnessâs doing back then!â
Two years ago, she had confessed her feelings to Chu Chengye, urged by Su Yurou. Chu Chengye publicly embarrassed her by rejecting her. She returned home in tears.
A few days later, she heard that Chu Chengye had broken his leg while riding a horse.
So it wasnât an accident.
Someone was jealous.
Su Yingxue touched Chu Yihanâs face, feeling extremely sweet in her heart.
Despite his high and aloof appearance, he was truly attractive.
He loved her so much.
The night was still young, and she fell asleep leaning against Chu Yihan as he slept beside her.
Later in the night, Su Qingzhi came to check on them.
Su Wei followed behind him. They reached the door and saw Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan asleep on the bed. Su Wei immediately spoke up, âMaster, isnât this against the rules? After all, Miss and Your Highness havenâtâ¦â
Su Qingzhi interrupted him with a push and took him outside.
He instructed Zhilan to close the door and guard the medicine hut, not allowing any servants from the residence to approach.
