Yue Lian was also very happy. Her eyes reddened, and she used her sleeve to hide them as she rubbed away her tears.
Her Xin’er was the happiest today.
The reaction of Yue Xin really puzzled Su Yingxue, and she couldn’t help but think of Seventeen and Zi Wei…
In any case, Yue Lian’s explanation failed to dispel her doubts.
But Seventeen had quickly recovered from his injuries and returned to her side.
She looked at Seventeen’s complexion, which had indeed improved, but he hadn’t changed his clothes, and the wound on his body was still bleeding. Su Yingxue frowned, “Why hasn’t the court physician bandaged your wound?”
Zi Wei replied coldly, “It’s unnecessary.”
The only person who had ever treated his wounds, other than himself, was Su Yingxue.
No one else would he allow.
Su Yingxue immediately became unhappy, “How can it be unnecessary? You are now a guard of Her Majesty, and you are not allowed to leave your wounds untreated like you did at the Silver Moon Pavilion. Ting Lan, go call the court physician again.”
Ting Lan was about to execute the order when Zi Wei said coldly, “I only serve my master.”
His gaze locked onto Su Yingxue, and in that moment, Su Yingxue believed that the assassins trained by the Silver Moon Pavilion were truly all the same.
Zi Wei was no different!
He never let anyone else touch him. When he was injured, he only allowed her to treat him, or else he would deal with it himself. If not treated properly, he would just let it be, which is why the scars on his body were more crisscrossed than the streets of Jiang Du City.
Su Yingxue sighed softly, “Forget it, come with me to the medicine hut.”
She stood up, intending to take Seventeen to get treated. As she passed by Yue Lian, she deliberately said, “Since you saved Yue Xin, why not let her do it? If Xin’er doesn’t know how, Yue Lian can do the bandaging for you as a way to repay you, your savior.”
Su Yingxue carefully observed the reactions of Seventeen and Yue Lian; she was still suspicious.
Unfortunately, before Yue Lian could even look up, Seventeen refused outright, “No.”
Yue Lian, who hadn’t heard, continued to soothe Yue Xin.
It was only when Yue Xin tugged at her sleeve that she suddenly looked up and hurriedly stood up to bow, “Empress, may I be of service?”
Su Yingxue saw her bewildered expression and shook her head.
It was just her overthinking.
Why would Yue Lian send her husband back to her, only to separate him from Yue Xin and herself?
It was her who was being overly sensitive and suspicious.
It wasn’t until Su Yingxue and Zi Wei left that Yue Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had narrowly avoided exposure again.
However, Zi Wei’s categorical refusal was like a sharp sword piercing her heart.
He refused the touch of both her and her daughter, willing to accept only Su Yingxue’s touch, not even wanting the court physician…
Yue Lian thought to herself, after all, it was Su Yingxue, she was the most important person in his life; she and her daughter… simply weren’t weighty enough… not nearly enough!
How could they compare?
Yue Lian suddenly felt a wave of sorrow. In her arms, Yue Xin pouted, “Daddy is so annoying! He didn’t ask for us, but for the Empress!”
“Hush, Xin’er, you mustn’t speak carelessly.”
Yue Lian covered Yue Xin’s mouth, warning her not to mention Daddy again in the palace, or they would never see Daddy again.
Yue Xin was outgoing and fearless, but her mother’s warning of never seeing Daddy again truly frightened her.
She was too afraid to move her mouth anymore.
In the medicine hut, Su Yingxue bandaged Zi Wei’s wound, ordering Ting Lan to watch from the side, while explaining to Zi Wei, “I know that you people from the Silver Moon Pavilion obey only your master’s commands, and only your master can touch you, but I am now the Empress, still a doctor but I must avoid suspicion, hence Ting Lan’s presence, you will have to endure this.”
Zi Wei murmured, “Hmm.”
As long as it was her, it was fine.
He refused any treatment by the court physicians, knowing that only she was familiar with his injuries, and many, many times, it was she who had healed him.
His life should have gone to hell long ago; it was she who pulled him back.
Only she could save him.
But as Su Yingxue was dressing his wound, he suddenly felt compelled to ask, “Master, how does one have children?”
“Uh?” Su Yingxue was taken aback, “Children?”
She looked at Seventeen, quite puzzled, “Do you have any children?”
“No.”
“Then why…”
“I want to know,” Zi Wei said.
“This matter of children…” Su Yingxue hesitated, “Do you understand the affairs between men and women?”
Zi Wei remained motionless.
Sigh…
Su Yingxue slapped her forehead; what a silly question she had asked. Assassins from the Silver Moon Pavilion only knew how to kill; how could they understand emotions? However, the question from Seventeen was genuinely perplexing to her. “It means when a man and woman are in love, after getting married… Of course, there are also those who cross the line before marriage. Their union, then the woman’s belly will carry the man’s bloodline. After ten months of pregnancy, she gives birth to a child that is theirs.”
“Ten months of pregnancy…” Zi Wei frowned slightly, “What is this union of which you speak?”
Su Yingxue: !!!
“Seventeen, if there’s a girl you have taken a liking to, Her Majesty can ask the emperor to grant you marriage,” Su Yingxue could only think of this possibility.
Zi Wei shook his head, “No.”
He didn’t need any girls.
He was just very curious where Yue Xin truly came from.
Whether or not she was actually his daughter.
But Su Yingxue said that it required a man and a woman in love, with the woman carrying the pregnancy for ten months, to have a child.
He had never been in love with anyone; how could there be any child?
Yet, when Yue Xin looked at him crying, and when she smiled, he couldn’t explain the strange feeling in his heart.
After some contemplation, Su Yingxue asked Zi Wei, “How old are you?”
Zi Wei looked bewildered.
Su Yingxue covered her forehead, alright!
She needed to check Seventeen’s information at the Silver Moon Pavilion. If he was of age, she ought to enlighten him about matters between men and women.
Although, she felt that raising a bodyguard should not be like raising a son.
Yet the highly skilled assassin had so many questions, and as his master, she couldn’t just ignore them.
Who asked her to be such a flesh-and-blood person, easily seeing the bodyguards as family?
If she had treated the bodyguards merely as bodyguards, today she wouldn’t have ordered Seventeen to protect Yue Lian and her daughter like this.
Worried about Yue Lian and her daughter’s safety in the palace, Chu Yifeng had been on the verge of madness; she had planned to send them back earlier.
But the silent Chu Heng, embodying the authority of the Crown Prince, said, “Since you have entered the palace to meet mother, let’s leave after dinner. This palace can show you around the imperial palace.”
Su Yingxue was somewhat surprised, but looking into Chu Heng’s sparkling eyes, she understood.
He had no playmates and only one sister, Chu Xi. A child’s rare visit made him loath to let Yue Xin leave, wanting to show her around the palace.
Su Yingxue readily consented, smiling at Yue Lian, “The Crown Prince’s kindness should not be rejected, right?”
Yue Lian had not yet replied when Yue Xin scrambled out of her embrace, “I won’t refuse! I’m not leaving!”
She wanted to spend more time looking at Daddy!
Chu Heng laughed, “Then I shall take you to the imperial garden to play!”
He walked up to Yue Xin, who grabbed his hand, and they ran off together.
The nature of a child is ultimately to find the most joy and importance in play.
