She was such a noble and proud person, yet she was thrown into a group of beggars to be humiliated!
The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air reached them. Han Yuwen was pushed by Wu Dao and fell to the ground.
She let out a startled cry and wanted to ask Wu Dao why he pushed her.
Behind her, the sound of a collapsing pillar echoed. She followed the sound and saw a golden chopstick piercing through a pillar as thick as an adult’s thigh. It was evident that the person behind this had profound internal energy and extraordinarily powerful martial arts!
However, Han Yuwen trembled all over, and cold sweat on her back soaked her clothes.
The chopstick was aimed at her, following the position she had just been standing!
If Wu Dao hadn’t pushed her, the chopstick wouldn’t have pierced the pillar but her!
Han Yuwen’s face turned pale. She looked in the direction where the chopstick came from. It was… where Chu Yihan was sitting.
Chu Yihan’s eyes were chilling. “Next time, no matter who is protecting you, it’s useless!”
“Your Highness…” Han Yuwen was forced to tears. How could Chu Yihan be so heartless?
Just because she threw a surgical tool at Su Yingxue, he wanted to kill her?
Su Yingxue glanced at the surgical tool far away. She couldn’t help but comment that Han Yuwen, a woman without martial skills attempting to kill someone, must have lost her mind.
However, Han Yuwen immediately presented her with a dilemma. “Su Yingxue, don’t be too pleased. It’s your turn! Choose someone close to you and perform this surgery on her!”
This question made Su Yingxue frown.
Who would willingly take a surgery for no reason? Regardless of whether it would be fatal or not, just opening a wound on their body was not something an ordinary person would willingly do.
“I’m willing, Miss. Please perform the surgery on me.”
Zhilan knelt in front of Su Yingxue.
She knew that Su Yingxue was a principled person. Choosing someone for this task was difficult for her. If possible, she would probably prefer to perform the surgery on herself.
However, she was Su Yingxue’s servant, originally a subordinate, and should be at Su Yingxue’s service.
“Good girl, get up. I won’t let you be harmed.”
Su Yingxue pulled her up and faced Chu Mingyuan. “Emperor, Princess Yuwen can easily cut open a maid’s body, but 1 believe that treating human life with such contempt is no different from taking it lightly. Why not find a patient with this illness? I’m willing to perform the surgery on them.”
She had been contemplating this matter earlier. It wasn’t that she hadn’t encountered the illness Han Yuwen mentioned at the clinic. If she found a suitable patient, performing the surgery would be justified.
However, she refused to engage in the immoral act of randomly picking a person and conducting surgery on them, as Han Yuwen did.
“Su Yingxue, if you’re afraid, just say so. Why are you finding excuses? Waiting for you to find a patient? What right do you have to make me wait for you? If you’re willing to admit defeat, I will wait for you to kowtow!”
Han Yuwen spoke arrogantly, “I use my maid for the surgery. Yun Dan has been with me for many years, and we share a deep bond. Yet, you want to find a patient. Not only is it time-consuming, but are you trying to deceive me? Or do you have no confidants willing to sacrifice for you?”
Her eyes carried a strong sense of mockery as she presented her skewed logic confidently.
Su Yingxue protected Zhilan. “People close to you are meant to be cherished, not subjected to surgery. I’m afraid the princess doesn’t understand this, right?”
“Cut the chatter! Su Yingxue, are you trying to stall for time?”
