Chapter 169: Does Your Highness Care About Her?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Su Yingxue did not know why she cared so much about the relationship between Chu Yihan and Hong Lian.

However, when she thought of how much Chu Yihan cared about Hong Lian, she was filled with anger!

Chu Yihan had a perplexed expression in his eyes. He had asked just one question, so why was she suddenly upset?

Inside this immaculate chamber, a folding screen separated the space. Mo Qi emerged from behind the screen and addressed Su Yingxue, “Miss Su, your medical skills are exceptional, and your mother is the foremost female physician in the Great Cheng Dynasty. You’re undoubtedly capable of countering this poison. Please, assist Your Highness!”

After his plea, Hong Lian’s voice came from behind the screen, “Thankyou, Miss Su.”

That voice pricked Su Yingxue like a needle. She glanced back at Mo Qi. He was Chu Yihan’s trusted aide, and if he was this anxious about Hong Lian, could she infer that Chu Yihan held similar concerns?

Chu Yihan looked at Su Yingxue, his eyes slowly losing their luster. He reached out to pull her close, but Su Yingxue pushed him away with a cold expression. “Your Highness, forgive my inadequacy. I cannot assist you in this matter.” “Why can’t you help? If you could revive Consort Xiang even after her death, how can you possibly be unable to cure this poison?” Mo Qi’s anxiety was evident.

“Mo Qi!”

Chu Yihan reprimanded him sharply, and Mo Qi immediately lowered his head in apology. “Miss Su, I acted hastily. But… I implore you to help. Hong Lian’s eyes have been poisoned. If she can’t recover, it will be greatly inconvenient.” The corners of Su Yingxue’s mouth curled up in a cold, mocking arc.

Of course, it would be inconvenient!

If Hong Lian were relieved of her condition, her and Zi Wei’s lives would be in peril!

Yet, Su Yingxue persisted. She looked straight at Chu Yihan, resolute and direct. “Your Highness cares deeply for her. Must you assist her in detoxifying this poison?”

Chu Yihan furrowed his brow and contemplated for a moment before parting his lips slightly. “If you can, 1 hope you’ll do your utmost to try.”

Su Yingxue felt a fiery surge within her. She rose abruptly. “Just like that night when I saved Sheng Ping, as long as I have the capability, 1 must save her, right? Chu Yihan, what do you take me for? Am I merely a tool for you to save people?”

“No!” Chu Yihan stood up quickly and took her hand, his palm radiating warmth. “I never cared if you could save someone. What matters to me is you…” “What is it? If I couldn’t save someone if 1 were useless, would Your Highness still treat me like this?”

Would he still be this kind to her?

Su Yingxue’s eyes brimmed with a hint of bitterness, a trace of moisture forming.

Chu Yihan was about to blurt out that he would still treat her the same, but suddenly, Hong Lian interjected, “Your Highness, I will take my leave to clear up the misunderstanding between you two.”

She rose and left from behind the screen, appearing to stumble due to her unclear vision, causing a commotion.

Mo Qi rushed to assist her, saying, “Hong Lian, please be careful! AAiss Su didn’t say she wouldn’t help. Your Highness was still discussing it with her!”

Mo Qi’s words only deepened the hurt Su Yingxue felt.

“Your Highness and 1 were discussing saving lives, but I don’t want to save them!” Su Yingxue wiped her teary eyes, broke free from Chu Yihan’s grasp, and fled.

“Su Yingxue!”

Chu Yihan wanted to chase after her, but Mo Qi shouted, “Your Highness, bad news! Hong Lian’s eyes…”

Chu Yihan furrowed his brow and went behind the screen. Hong Lian’s eyes were bleeding, a horrifying sight.

Chu Yihan ordered coldly, “Stop her bleeding.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Mo Qi was frantic as he brought medicine. However, Hong Lian refused to let him touch her and instead painstakingly wiped away the ‘bloodstains’. The handkerchief Mo Qi gave her was still stained with tears..
