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

Chapter 1456: Chapter 1451: Zi Wei, Can’t Hide It Anymore

Xiao Yu’s eyes surged with a bloody hue, “Su Yingxue!!! Is this how you take care of her?”

He had forcibly retrieved Yan’er from his embrace, only to let her suffer like this?

Struggling to get up from the bed, Xiao Yu picked up the bone flute that he had thrown under the bed, grasping it tightly in his hand, his entire face becoming sinister and chillingly cold.

News from the old residence reached the palace, and both Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan woke up before dawn. Su Yingxue hurried to Yaoguang Hall, her expression fraught with urgency, “Emperor, I’ve heard that Miaoyan was also startled awake last night. Though she wasn’t harmed, she has been incessantly asking to see Xiao Yu today, refusing to eat or take her medicine to recover properly. Surely, someone must have said something to her!”

Chu Yihan’s eyebrows furrowed tightly, “There has been no reaction from Xiao Yu’s end, but he is a man of deep thoughts. Once he sets his mind on something, we must be wary.”

If it weren’t for his concern about Su Miaoyan, he would definitely kill Xiao Yu to eliminate future troubles before Xiao Yu could rebel, and then control the Xiao family through Xiao Qingyu.

But now, he was Su Miaoyan’s husband, and their child was still missing; he couldn’t kill Xiao Yu.

The enemy had calculated their moves perfectly, using Su Miaoyan to muddle Xiao Yu’s mind, causing him to crumble, setting the stage for conflict.

“Who could still be out there, able to scheme against us with such precision, and to set such an intricate trap?” Su Yingxue couldn’t think of anyone; she and Chu Yihan had nearly wiped out all their enemies over the years.

The only person who had come through time was Rong Sheng.

“Could it be Yun Dan? Last time, when we killed Chen Ruobai, we didn’t find her, and now she’s targeting Xiao Yu again?” Su Yingxue suddenly thought of when Rong Sheng had been lurking around Chen Ruobai and almost got killed because of Yun Dan. She was the one who dug out the white box buried by Rong Sheng, acquiring the medical lab within, and thus was able to provoke Chen Ruobai to create the large number of living puppets later on.

“If that’s the case, it can’t just be her alone. Didn’t you also send Number Seventeen to guard the old residence? Let him report back; he must have discovered something,” Chu Yihan said, his thoughts somewhat muddled; he always felt that the adversary should be someone he knew well, yet this familiar person must have acquired some ability unknown to him.

Such as time-traveling—something that sounded like a fantastical tale but could not be dismissed as fiction because it truly existed.

Su Yingxue’s frown deepened, “Unless something happened to Seventeen, he should have reported to me by now… Oh no, Seventeen!”

Unable to stay in the palace, Su Yingxue reported to Chu Yihan and hurried to the old residence with the Shadow Guards following her.

She found traces of a fight there, blood on the ground, but no sign of Number Seventeen, which left her a bit panicked, “Number Seventeen is from the Silver Moon Pavilion, with such high martial arts skills, how could he…”

Who else could have injured him, apart from the Shadow, who also hailed from the Silver Moon Pavilion?

“Your Majesty, following the blood trail, we found a manor house.”

A Shadow Guard came to report.

Su Yingxue immediately rushed to the location, following the blood trail which led her to none other than Yue Lian’s home.

Yue Lian hurried out to greet Su Yingxue, “I was not aware of Your Majesty’s arrival, forgive me for my…”

“Yue Lian, there’s no need for formalities. I am looking for someone. This blood trail leads here; have you seen anyone?” Su Yingxue’s face showed some urgency.

Yue Lian bit her lip slightly, her expression hesitant, “I saved a person with serious injuries…”

She knew she couldn’t hide it from Su Yingxue but dared not ask Su Yingxue to treat Zi Wei, fearing that if she found out, she would make Zi Wei leave, which would break his heart.

Unexpectedly, Yue Xin ran out, crying and shouting, “Mother! Mother! Daddy vomited blood again, and he hasn’t opened his eyes; he’s not going to die, right? I don’t want Daddy to die!”

Yue Lian reached out to cover her mouth, but it was too late.

Su Yingxue heard everything that Yue Xin said while sobbing.

With a furrowed brow, she looked in the direction Yue Xin had run from, “Yue Lian, what was she calling out just now?”

“Empress! Xin’er is still young, with an unguarded tongue, she…” Yue Lian was anxiously trying to come up with an excuse, but in front of Su Yingxue, her panic only exposed more.

Su Yingxue, harboring doubts, entered the room that Yue Xin had run out of. Inside, the stench of blood filled the air, and on the bed lay Seventeen, gravely injured.

Su Yingxue looked at his face and knew he was Seventeen, but the way he clutched at his knife despite his severe injuries weighed heavily on her heart.

“Zi… Zi Wei?”

Su Yingxue’s eyes reddened as she turned to look at Yue Lian and her daughter who had followed her.

Yue Lian, tears in her eyes and seemingly burdened with inexpressible emotions, said, “Your Highness! This man… I came across him by chance and saved him. Seeing his critical injuries, I couldn’t bear it and brought him back. I haven’t yet sent someone to inform Your Highness, it is my fault.”

“What fault? It was Mother who saved Daddy! If Mother hadn’t sent someone to follow Daddy, we wouldn’t have known he was injured!” Yue Xin boldly ran to Su Yingxue’s side and grabbed her hand, “Your Highness, Mother says you’re a genius doctor, can you save my daddy! I really like Daddy! He protects me; I don’t want him to die, please save him!”

“Xin’er!” Yue Lian hastily pulled Yue Xin back into her embrace and covered her mouth firmly, preventing her from speaking further.

She still wanted to cover things up.

“Mother, wuwuwu…”

Yue Xin’s mouth wouldn’t stop.

She didn’t understand the extent of the adults’ secrets and concerns; she just wanted a living Daddy!

Su Yingxue took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to the bedside.

She didn’t know what ties there were between Yue Lian and Zi Wei, why they lied to her.

But she couldn’t let Seventeen… no, Zi Wei, suffer any accidents.

His life was precious.

Su Yingxue protected Zi Wei’s heart with medicine and used the Soul-Consuming Needle to mend his wounds. After dressing all his external injuries, she was exhausted and drenched in sweat.

Yue Lian watched from the side. Even though she was worried about the truth being revealed, she was still relieved.

With Su Yingxue’s intervention, Zi Wei’s life was undoubtedly saved.

He would certainly recover unharmed.

“Daddy!”

As Su Yingxue stepped away from the bed, Yue Xin immediately pounced forward and took hold of Zi Wei’s hand.

Su Yingxue dried her hands, her slender fingers grasping the hem of her dress as she walked up to Yue Lian. Her eyes still slightly reddened and her emotions not yet settled, she managed to calmly ask, “Yue Lian, can you give me an explanation?”

Why did Zi Wei’s face become like this?

Why did they keep it from her?

Why, when Zi Wei and she already had a daughter, did he still return to her side as a guard?

She wished for him to have a happy life, but was this his happiness?

Yue Lian closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks, aware that she could no longer keep this hidden, but last night, she couldn’t just watch Zi Wei collapse on the street, unaided.

She choked up and said, “I know my crime, I plead with Your Highness…”
