Chu Mingyuan suppressed the anger in his heart and left after saying this.
If he hadn’t left, he might have ended up killing Su Yingxue on the spot!
The empress’s face turned ashen. Chu Mingyuan had departed, leaving her to clean up the mess. Not only did she give all the rewards meant for Saint Ruan to Su Yingxue, but she also had to grit her teeth and watch everyone flatter her.
Noble Consort Xiao sat at the top, her eyes slightly raised. She was so stunningly beautiful that it was beyond comparison. “This Su Yingxue is truly intriguing. Granny Song, reward her!”
When Su Yingxue left the palace, she pulled a cart full of rewards behind her.
But at this moment, all she wanted was to return to the prince’s mansion with Chu Yihan.
In Chu Yihan’s courtyard, she accompanied him until it was dark.
Chu Yihan lay on the bed, his once handsome face devoid of color.
Su Yingxue meticulously removed one silver needle after another. Iler eyes reddened at the corners. Lowering her head, she gently kissed Chu Yihan’s face. This was her way to keep herself from bursting into tears.
When Chu Yihan woke up, Su Yingxue asked, “How long have you been ?”
Chu Yihan’s expression remained calm. “For ten years.”
“Ten years…” Su Yingxue counted on her fingers. Over the past decade, Chu Yihan had mostly been engaged in battles outside, expanding the territory of the Great Sheng Dynasty and earning the title of the God of War across the Nine Continents.
However, she couldn’t dare to fathom the dangers Chu Yihan faced in every battle. Once a bloody battle ensued, his emotions would spiral out of control, turning him into an unstoppable killing machine.
If there were moments of lucidity, he would slowly regain control.
But if there were none… she couldn’t even imagine what Chu Yihan would become.
Exhausted on the battlefield, bursting out in a blood frenzy, and then dying?
Su Yingxue’s hands trembled. She couldn’t fathom that this was an ailment left from Chu Yihan’s many years of warfare.
It was also his weakness.
Today, the emperor had used this weakness of his to trap her in the palace and compete with Saint Ruan.
She was on the verge of life and death, and Chu Yihan would undoubtedly be agitated. Hence, he arranged defenses outside the palace, unleashing him into a massacre. Then, he would have penetrated the palace, assassinated the emperor, and started a rebellion… They would have charged him with the crime of a traitor and killed him!
“Don’t be afraid. From now on, with you around, 1 won’t lose control of my blood essence.” Chu Yihan’s lips curved slightly. Under the dim light, his deep, boundless eyes glittered with faint starlight.
Su Yingxue nestled into his arms. “1 genuinely wish 1 could be this helpful.”
“You can. If you doubt it, you can try again.”
Chu Yihan lay on the bed, his once celestial face now radiant with a seductive aura, as if inviting her.
Su Yingxue blushed and coughed twice. “This… is not proper! Your Highness, be serious!”
“Did you consider what was proper when you publicly showed affection towards me today?” Chu Yihan reclined slightly, his eyes lazily narrowed, exuding a lethal allure.
Su Yingxue’s heart began to wildly fluctuate.
Stop tempting her! She couldn’t resist the temptation!
“Right now, it’s only you and me, appropriate enough.” Chu Yihan’s low, sexy voice lingered in her ear.
Su Yingxue turned and gently kissed his face.
To hell with control!
Su Yingxue didn’t understand why, but as she kept kissing him, she ended up lying on his bed. Despite the blanket between them, she still felt his intense warmth.
“Your Highness, will you blame me for poisoning Saint Ruan?”
Su Yingxue peeked her head out from under the blanket, her exquisite eyes shimmering with a moist luster..
