“Yes, Your Highness! Should the Shadow Guards be mobilized?” Mo Qi asked.
“He is not worthy,” Chu Yihan said with cold arrogance, raising his hand with the authority of a superior, commanding submission.
In the Marquis’s Manor, Su Yingxue had not returned the entire night. When she came back, the scent of blood reached her nose.
She thought there might be someone injured in the courtyard, but later she discovered that the smell of blood was emanating from her room.
Closing the door, Zi Wei stood in the room like a statue.
The deep purple at the corners of his eyes exuded an intense coldness, and his eyes seemed veiled by a crimson mist.
Su Yingxue quickly took his pulse and realized he had returned with fresh injuries. She gritted her teeth and exclaimed angrily, “Zi Wei, why are you injured again?”
The previous poison had not yet been fully cured, and his internal injuries were not yet healed. Now, he had accumulated a fresh set of wounds.
“Are you testing my medical skills?” Su Yingxue exclaimed in frustration.
Zi Wei was injured. Facing her accusation, he said in a cold and detached manner. “No.”
“Then how did you sustain these injuries?”
“Are you pursuing others? Or are you being pursued?”
Su Yingxue knew that he was a person who could not communicate normally, so she could only treat his injuries first. After treating the wounds on his body, she pulled him to sit down and repeatedly reminded him, “In the future, you’re not allowed to fight even if you’re being chased. Run if you can!”
Su Yingxue knew that he had many enemies in the past, and she worried for his safety.
“I won’t run.” Zi Wei’s voice was hoarse, yet stubborn.
From the day he first held a sword, he learned one thing. He could fall, he could die, but he must never flee. Otherwise, he would fail his mission, and returning would be a death sentence.
As a man without a true place to belong, he could only fight his way forward.
“Even if you won’t, you have to learn it! Whether you seek refuge in the medical hall or the Marquis’s Manor, you must come to my side. Even if you die, you can only die by my side. Do you understand?” Su Yingxue shouted in anger.
Zi Wei’s gaze softened slightly. “Why?”
“Because you are mine. No one can take your life except me!” Su Yingxue’s gaze was unwavering. “I promised to heal you. 1 will make sure you live a long life. After 1 brought you back from the Silver Moon Pavilion, 1 won’t let you die. You absolutely cannot die!”
Zi Wei’s chest trembled strongly. He agreed to Su Yingxue’s demand. “Alright.”
Even if he had to die, he had to die by her side.
After Su Yingxue tended to his wounds, she accompanied him to the medical hall every day. It seemed as though she feared he would again risk his life. Whenever she had a moment’s rest, she would call him out to ensure he was still by her side, still alive.
On this day, a messenger arrived from Liang Jin, informing her of a court session the following day, and advising her to prepare.
Su Yingxue smirked. “Lord Wu’s health has recovered so quickly. It seems he’s eager to convict me.”
The messenger from Liang Jin thought Su Yingxue was exceedingly audacious. But following Liang Jin’s instructions, he still delivered his message, “Lord Liang wants to remind Miss Su that assaulting an official of the imperial court is a grave offense. It could result in a ten-year imprisonment or at the very least a severe flogging. Miss Su should be mentally prepared.”
Liang Jin would make a judgment based on the circumstances, but Su Yingxue would undoubtedly be subjected to punishment.
Su Yingxue remained confident and replied with a faint smile, “Please convey my gratitude to Lord Liang.”
Seeing her composure, the messenger shook his head and reported back to Liang Jin.
After Su Yingxue finished speaking, she noticed Su Hao’s arrival..
