The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!
Chapter 1423: 1418: Endless Sourness and SwellingChapter 1423: Chapter 1418: Endless Sourness and Swelling
“Dignity?” Chu Yifeng sneered. When had he ever cared about dignity?
All he cared about was killing those who had hurt his daughter.
Zi Wei fell silent, but from the moment Yue Xin called out, “Daddy, go for it!” he had resolved to kill, even though Chu Yihan told them to stop. His blade still pointed at Chu Yifeng.
The great battle did not cease with the arrival of Chu Yihan. Chu Yifeng’s eyes burned crimson, and Zi Wei was equally consumed by a murderous intent. Both of them fought with lethal moves, neither holding back, and even Chu Yihan could not stop them.
However, Su Yingxue did not focus entirely on the fight. She noticed a detail.
She looked down at Yue Xin, and the girl was staring intently and nervously at Zi Wei, having just blurted out “Daddy, go for it!”.
Seventeen… her daddy?
Yue Lian was a meticulous and sensitive person, so she could not fail to notice Su Yingxue’s gaze. Seeing how focused Yue Xin was, she quietly explained to Su Yingxue, “Please Your Highness, and the guards by your side, don’t take offense. Xin’er has a very deep bond with her daddy, she is completely dependent on him, and misses him if they are apart even for a moment. Any resemblance to her father can make her uncontrollably excited, and in her urgency… ”
Su Yingxue was doubtful, “Is that so?”
Why did it feel so natural for Yue Xin to say that? And Yue Xin did not seem like an overly naive child. She seemed quite clever.
In the palace, she was the first person Su Yingxue had seen who could stand her ground against Chu Xi.
Yue Lian’s palms were sweating with nerves. She wished every day she could acknowledge Xin’er’s identity, and that Zi Wei could return to Xin’er’s side, but she could not bind him like that.
To make him leave Su Yingxue would be worse than death.
He would become depressed and joyless, just like those two years without a spark of life.
Thinking this, Yue Lian took a deep breath and felt she had no choice but to deceive Su Yingxue again, “Yes, that’s why I rarely take Xin’er on long trips. This time, I must immediately take Xin’er back. Such trouble has arisen…”
Yue Lian’s attention returned to the two men fighting.
“Be careful!”
A piece of rubble flew towards Su Yingxue, but Chu Yihan struck from mid-air, reducing the stone to dust, and Su Yingxue was unharmed.
Su Yingxue came to her senses with a contented, faint smile on her face, no longer lingering on Yue Xin’s cry for Daddy.
Yue Lian watched Su Yingxue’s expression and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yue Xin, overhearing her mother and the empress’s conversation, felt wronged. Why couldn’t she openly call out for her daddy?
He was indeed her daddy!
Why should Chu Xi hit her and have daddy threaten to kill her without questioning, and she not be able to call out for her daddy to do the same to Chu Xi?
Her daddy was also a formidable man!
In the midst of the intense conflict where both Zi Wei and Chu Yifeng had sustained internal injuries, they were still evenly matched. Chu Yifeng’s wild fighting style was familiar to Zi Wei. Though he might not defeat him, he still had a chance to gravely injure Chu Yifeng.
But, in a split second as he swung his blade mid-air, he saw Yue Xin cry.
The stubborn little girl, with her pale, jade-like cheeks, now bore tear streaks marking her grievance and sorrow.
“Don’t cry.”
Zi Wei felt a nameless complexity within his heart.
Just as he was distracted, Chu Yifeng’s palm viciously struck, and if it had hit its mark, it would have shattered his heartstrings and he would have died on the spot.
“Puh!”
Luckily, Chu Yihan intervened, deflecting much of Chu Yifeng’s force.
Zi Wei only took a third of the blow’s power.
His sharp gaze caught a glance of Yue Xin; as Chu Yifeng reveled in his moment, a flash of blade light streaked by. Chu Yihan did not manage to intercept in time, and the blade edge slashed towards Chu Yifeng, causing him to stagger back three steps, blood spurting uncontrollably.
“Daddy!”
Chu Xi screamed in alarm and quickly ran toward Chu Yifeng.
Chu Yihan’s brows furrowed deeply, his eyes brimming with a intense killing intent.
But before he could act, Su Yingxue spoke up to stop him, “Emperor, please hold back your anger.”
Chu Heng also ran to Chu Yihan’s side, clinging to his leg, “Father, please calm your rage.”
Zi Wei walked over to Yue Xin, whose little face was already filled with grievance. Seeing Zi Wei, her face grew even redder. She hiccupped as she raised her small white hand, trembling as she pointed to Zi Wei, “You… you’re bleeding.”
There was blood on his mouth and on his body, so much blood!
Yue Xin burst into tears with a wail.
“Daddy’s ble… wuu wuu wuu!”
Before she could shout, Yue Lian forcefully covered her mouth and knelt down with her in front of Su Yingxue, “This common girl has behaved improperly in front of the throne, I beg for forgiveness from the emperor and empress, may Your Majesties forgive us!”
She had never anticipated that bringing Yue Xin to see Zi Wei would cause such trouble!
If it had been anyone else, Chu Yihan would certainly have been angered, but Su Yingxue stood by his side, continuously shaking her head at him, quietly urging, “Husband, don’t be angry, they are Zi Wei’s family.”
Chu Yihan’s expression turned unpleasant at the mention of Zi Wei’s name, but to give Su Yingxue face, he refrained from taking issue with Yue Lian and the others, only this Seventeen.
He had already stopped Chu Yifeng, yet Seventeen had still dared to attack and injure Chu Yifeng.
It was rather excessive!
Zi Wei stood in front of Yue Xin, coldly and dispassionately stating, “I didn’t lose.”
Yue Xin, who was crying, suddenly stopped.
She blankly thought to herself, that’s right, Daddy won!
No matter what, her daddy beat that princess’s daddy!
She should be happy, so happy she might jump for joy!
Yue Xin’s tears immediately stopped. She pushed Yue Lian aside, went forward and hugged Zi Wei’s legs, fiercely rubbing against him, giggling foolishly, “Hehe!”
That voice, both sweet and childish, carried with it an unfamiliar emotion, jabbing like an icicle into Zi Wei’s heart.
It hurt.
It created an aching feeling that swelled in his chest.
But the young girl’s laughter seemed like a soothing medicine, slowly healing him.
His heart didn’t hurt as much.
In fact, he found himself wanting to hug her.
Instinctively, Zi Wei picked up Yue Xin in his arms.
Yue Xin’s body was suddenly airborne, and being held so high, she looked down upon her mother, while in front of her, Daddy’s face became much clearer.
Yue Xin’s mouth opened wide in shock, so wide it could fit three pastries.
“Wow!!!”
So this is what it felt like to be held by Daddy?
How magical!!!
Yue Xin’s head was spinning with excitement. She chuckled merrily for a long while, until Zi Wei had to leave to tend to his wounds and Yue Lian took her down. She was still giggling nonsensically, laughing toward Yue Lian, laughing toward Su Yingxue and Chu Heng, laughing at everyone in the great hall.
Ting Lan served tea to everyone in the hall and brought pastries to Yue Xin. Seeing her still so blissfully happy, she couldn’t help but smile, “Such a cute little girl.”
Her innocence was truly beyond words.
Somewhat foolish, yet so endearing that one couldn’t look away.
