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

Chapter 1444: Chapter 1439: Miaoyan’s Pitiful Experience

Chu Yihan ordered Su Yingxue to come out, saying that there had been progress in the matter.

Mo Qi brought an old man into the imperial study, panting, “Emperor, Your Highness, this man claims he has seen Miss Miaoyan.”

“Really!?”

Su Yingxue quickly approached, “First calm down, then stand up to answer.”

The person Mo Qi had brought was the village chief from the One-Line Sky Canyon.

Since their village had been bloodily cleansed by Xiao Yu, they had never had peace, and even now, he would dream of those bloody and horrifying scenes at night.

Until another young man with high martial arts skills entered the village and, under strict surveillance, silently took him away.

Although the village chief had seen the world, he never imagined that he would enter the imperial palace and meet the emperor and the empress in his lifetime.

He knelt on the ground like a turtle, only his back trembling, his limbs all withdrawn, “I… I dare not… Your Graces… forgive me!”

The splendor of the imperial palace and the authority of Chu Yihan had already scared him into incoherence.

Mo Qi had also observed he was unable to speak clearly when he met him.

He unfolded the portrait he was holding in his hand and simply stated to Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue, “Emperor, Your Highness, this man is the chief of that village. When I showed him the portrait of Miss Miaoyan, he recognized her. He said a young adult in their village named Zhang Daniu had saved Miss Miaoyan from the branches on the cliff edge. Reportedly, Miss Miaoyan was seriously injured at the time, and a barefoot doctor in the village healed her.”

“Where is Miaoyan now?” Su Yingxue asked anxiously.

“She might have been taken away by Xiao Yu.”

When Mo Qi mentioned Xiao Yu’s name, the other portrait in his hand fell, landing right in front of the village chief.

Seeing Xiao Yu’s face on the portrait, he trembled as if he had seen a ghost, “King of Underworld… he is the King of Underworld! He killed many people in our village! Help! Help!”

Thinking of the innocent villagers who died, the village chief cried bitterly with old tears streaming down.

Mo Qi continued, “That village does not communicate with the outside world, only accessible by a single rope. Xiao Yu’s men happened to pave a road there and stationed many people, cutting the rope. At the time, I had the Shadow Guards form a human bridge to reach the other side; we pulled an inconspicuous rope above the cliff and brought him out.”

When he went to that village, the situation was not optimistic. Although the villagers had fields, livestock, and could be self-sufficient, they shunned outsiders like venomous snakes; some even went mad from the fear of seeing him leading people into the village and could not be cured.

He spent money and persuaded for a long time before bringing the village chief to Jiang Du City.

Chu Yihan’s fingers tapped lightly on the imperial table, “So, Xiao Yu’s men had already found Su Miaoyan in the village, brought her back, and then cut the rope to prevent the villagers from communicating with the outside.”

“Yes, and Xiao Yu’s methods are very harsh. There were signs of the village being burned. According to the villagers, after Xiao Yu left, a big fire started, but because the village had natural springs, they managed to extinguish it promptly, avoiding severe casualties.”

“If Xiao Yu has indeed saved Miaoyan, why would he destroy evidence and act so ruthlessly? What is he trying to achieve!” Su Yingxue was quite angry. She had always thought of Xiao Yu as a morally gray person but not someone who was heartlessly ruthless without principles, someone generally trustworthy.

But what was all this?

Harming innocents, wanton slaughter?

Angered, Su Yingxue wanted to confront Xiao Yu, but Chu Yihan stopped her, “Don’t be impulsive. We haven’t fully investigated the matter yet. There are many details still unknown, for instance, Zhang Daniu, the person who saved Su Miaoyan, where is he now?”

Chu Yihan’s deep gaze turned towards the village chief, who was limp and sprawled on the ground.

He answered Chu Yihan’s questions intermittently, and after half an hour, he finally let Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue understand the whole story.

Su Yingxue felt a bitter taste in her heart, “Miaoyan was actually beaten and abused by that Zhang Daying! Damn it! I will exterminate their entire clan!”

Her sister, a Young Miss from Marquis’s Manor, a legitimate daughter of the Xiao family, a Xiao family’s madam, had actually fallen to such a state of being bullied and ravished by a group of country bumpkins!

If she did not kill them, she would be unworthy of the title of empress!

“They… they are already dead…” the old village chief trembled with tears in his eyes.

Their village, because of an outsider, now dead or insane—what else could be done?

“Take him out of the palace and settle him down.”

Chu Yihan instructed Mo Qi.

Mo Qi took the man away, and Chu Yihan calmed down and thought for a while, “As the village chief said, Xiao Yu’s actions are somewhat understandable.”

“Understandable? Doesn’t Xiao Yu know that I can cure Miaoyan? By confining Miaoyan like this, has her illness really gotten better? What is her current physical condition? We don’t know anything!”

Su Yingxue’s eyes reddened, in this situation, not to mention her aunt, even she couldn’t feel at ease.

Xiao Yu, like an obsessive Hades, what if in his extreme actions, he hurt Miaoyan?

“Tomorrow, I will take you to find Xiao Yu. You’ve also heard what the village chief said, Miaoyan remembers nothing. If you suddenly go to Xiao Yu and take her away, it might worsen her condition, which would be bad for her,” Chu Yihan hugged Su Yingxue, trying to console her.

“I’m just worried…” Su Yingxue nestled into his arms, “Hubby, how can Miaoyan, who’s so lovable, endure such abuse?”

As Miaoyan’s sister, she felt like slaughtering the entire village to avenge Miaoyan.

But being an empress, she had to recognize that the villagers were also their subjects. The villagers were ignorant of the true situation and have already paid a painful price.

She couldn’t act rashly.

Chu Yihan gently stroked her face, “I will help you bring her back home. You don’t have to worry too much, otherwise, I will become as anxious as Xiao Yu.”

“Really?” Su Yingxue pouted, “I feel that the emperor is much more stable than Xiao Yu. He would never act rashly.”

“That’s because my wife, is right here with me,” Chu Yihan bowed his head and kissed her gently.

Su Yingxue wrapped her arms around his waist, playfully rubbing her face against his chest, “Hubby, you’re the best!”

Her voice was soft and sweet, tickling Chu Yihan’s heart.

The two of them stayed in Yaoguang Hall again tonight, leaving Chu Heng alone in Fengxi Palace.

Chu Heng lay in bed, resting his head on Shan Bao’s leg, sighing deeply, “Shan Bao, I’m glad you are here with me.”

Being the Crown Prince is so difficult.

He doesn’t even have his mother to accompany him in his sleep.

Shan Bao howled softly, yawned, then pulled the blanket over Chu Heng and lay on it, gently patting him with its paw, skillfully lulling him to sleep.
