Oh no, how could she think like this!
Was she, Su Yingxue, that kind of person?
Even if she could break the palace, she wouldn’t use Chu Yihan’s token to barge in, would she?
But what if…
A warm sensation spread through Su Yingxue’s palm.
However, it was accompanied by the weight of the cold jade. Chu Yihan had already given her the token. How could she repay Chu Yihan for such an important thing?
As if understanding her internal struggle, Chu Yihan didn’t give her a chance to refuse him.
Chu Yihan instructed her to keep the token close to her body, then held her hand as he said, “With this, you won’t need to fear anything in the future. Not even my Imperial Brother can easily accuse you.”
Ultimately, Su Yingxue’s heart was engulfed by that warmth.
She smiled. “Alright.”
Stepping down from the carriage, the warmth still radiated within her, her heart pounding. All of it came from Chu Yihan.
She returned to the treatment room and saw a hooded woman standing at the door. Su Yingxue immediately stuffed the cold jade back into her clothes and walked over calmly.
Princess Sheng Ping seemed ready to kneel in respect, but Su Yingxue hurriedly held her arm and helped her stand up. “Princess, what are you doing? Technically, 1 should be the one showing respect.”
Sheng Ping was humble. “I’m just a princess from a fallen kingdom. I’m nothing, but Miss Su is the daughter of the Marquis’s Manor. In this Great Cheng Dynasty, you can be considered the head of the noble ladies.”
The head of the noble ladies?
Su Yingxue smiled, a trace of amusement in her expression. She had never adorned herself with such accolades.
But Princess Sheng Ping’s words weren’t entirely unfounded, were they?
“Princess, please enter the treatment room.”
Su Yingxue knew that it was inconvenient for Sheng Ping to show her face, so she took her into the treatment room and closed the door.
There were only two of them. Sheng Ping was not that nervous.
Su Yingxue proposed, “Princess, if you don’t mind, could you remove your hood and veil? Let me assess your complexion and then determine the appropriate treatment.”
After Sheng Ping nodded, she revealed her face.
Su Yingxue looked at her carefully. She was really beautiful. She exuded a fresh and elegant aura from the inside out. She grew up in the royal family. Even if the country was fallen, she could still see the elegance of a princess from Sheng Ping.
Especially when she smiled, her lips curved delicately, making people feel that peach blossoms were blooming in front of them, dazzling and eye-catching.
After thoroughly assessing her pulse, Su Yingxue prescribed warming herbs for her.
Expressing her gratitude once more, Sheng Ping instructed Lian’er to bring several medical books. She smiled and handed them to Su Yingxue. “These books are treasures from the royal palace of the Yue Kingdom. I lack valuable possessions, and these mundane offerings hardly qualify as proper gratitude for Dr. Su. Please accept these medical books, Dr. Su, and forgive any perceived inadequacy.”
The gift resonated with Su Yingxue’s taste.
Su Yingxue smiled and accepted the book. “Since you’re offering them, I won’t stand on ceremony.”
Her forthright personality made Sheng Ping feel better.
She had never liked owing people anything. Even though she had been tortured, she had never spoken to Chu Yihan. If it wasn’t for the fact that her life was at stake, she wouldn’t have had the chance to see Chu Yihan again.
Sheng Ping was determined to repay Su Yingxue for saving her life.
Su Yingxue flipped through two pages of the medical book and found that Sheng Ping was sincerely grateful to her. She could not understand the Yue Kingdom’s characters, but Sheng Ping used the characters of the Great Cheng Dynasty to make annotations. Her handwriting was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
She had wanted to close the book and tell Sheng Ping about her illness.
However, she accidentally brought it to the last page and realized that there was a picture on the page.
Her eyes widened!
