Su Dingheng left in anger.
Su Yingxue opened the letter and found that it was indeed written by her grandfather. He had heard about Su Yurou and instructed her to send the genius doctor to rescue her.
Although her grandfather was stationed at the border, Su Yingxue always followed his words and would fulfill his instructions.
That night, Su Yingxue had a dream. She saw her grandfather, with his sturdy figure, falling amidst a battlefield, and she was powerless to help him, unable to even extend a hand.
“Phew!”
Su Yingxue abruptly sat up, her palms sweaty and dampening the bedding.
Opposite her, Zi Wei, who had been sleeping the entire night, opened his eyes.
…..
He had slept while sitting across from Su Yingxue, and Su Yingxue could see him as soon as she opened her eyes.
Zi Wei remained silent, but there was a hint of a dark and bloodthirsty glint in his purple-tailed eyes. Nevertheless, Su Yingxue strangely felt at ease.
It was just a dream.
Her grandfather was fine for now. She had to follow his orders and rescue Su Yurou as he instructed.
However, entering the palace required caution. Su Yingxue had sent Zhilan ahead to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to relay a message and see if she could meet Chu Yihan.
Zhilan had gone fearfully but returned joyfully.
She hopped near Su Yingxue’s ear, her eyes shining with excitement. “Your Highness said that the genius doctor should go to him tomorrow, and he will personally bring her into the palace. Your Highness reassures you not to worry. He will take care of the genius doctor as a favor to you, Miss.”
Su Yingxue’s heart skipped a beat, and a blush appeared on her fair face. “He… Did he say that?”
“Yes, yes! Miss, Your Highness is truly good to you! 1 never expected to enter the prince’s mansion so easily in this lifetime and meet Your Highness! It’s all because Your Highness cares about you!” Zhilan’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Cough, the genius doctor, and Your Highness have a purely professional relationship as a doctor and patient. I have no connection to Your Highness,” Su Yingxue said seriously, staring at Zhilan.
Zhilan quickly composed herself and nodded. “Yes, Miss. 1 spoke out of turn.”
But she couldn’t help but sense that Miss was exceptionally happy today. Was her thinking lacking?
The next day, Su Yingxue changed into casual attire and donned a black veil hat before heading to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.
She didn’t know why she listened so much to Chu Yihan, but she felt especially at ease when she was near him.
Indeed, even if she broke into the palace alone, with Zi Wei by her side, she had no fear of not being able to leave.
She smoothly entered the prince’s mansion, but in Chu Yihan’s courtyard, she encountered Hong Lian.
Hong Lian was enchanting and alluring, exuding a captivating charm. Her eyes flickered seductively as she spoke, “Who are you? What business do you have with Your Highness?”
Her tone resembled that of a mistress, causing a heavy feeling in Su Yingxue’s heart.
Su Yingxue maintained a calm voice. “It’s none of your concern. I’m here to see Your Highness.”
“Your Highness?” Hong Lian was perceptive and sensed that this woman showed no fear or hesitation toward Chu Yihan. She remained composed.
However, apart from her, who was able to freely enter and leave the prince’s mansion? Could it be that she was Chu Yihan’s beloved?
Hong Lian quickly changed her attitude. “I have not yet attended to Your Highness in the morning. Would the young lady please wait for a moment?”
The words “attended to” pierced Su Yingxue’s heart like sharp thorns. She bit her lip. “There’s no need.”
She hurriedly left the prince’s mansion and boarded the carriage, but an indignant feeling lingered in her chest, unable to dissipate.
Chu Yihan!
He had someone to attend to him, so why bother stirring trouble with her?
Protect her?
Liar.
Su Yingxue traveled alone to the palace, unaware that Zi Wei had entered her carriage..
