How could Consort Xiang not hate those who harmed her? However, she had no maternal family to rely on and no children. It was not easy to protect herself, let alone be righteous.
“Genius Doctor Chu, how much longer until 1 can fully recover?” Consort Xiang’s eyes carried a hint of urgency.
She had been suffering from illness for many years, and her resilience had long been worn down. She believed that every day she lived was a gift.
But now, she no longer wished to continue in such desolation!
Su Yingxue took out the new medicine prepared for her in the Medicine King Valley. “These pills fortify the foundation and cultivate vitality. They must be taken together with the detoxifying medicine. Your Majesty, please don’t be anxious. Within a month, I will ensure that Your Majesty makes a full recovery.”
“One month…” A flicker of hope ignited in Consort Xiang’s eyes, along with deep-seated resentment.
After enduring years of torment, she could not let it end !
However, when facing Su Yingxue, she still felt somewhat guilty. “Genius Doctor Chu, there is not much 1 can do for you at the moment. But later, I can have someone escort you out of the palace to ensure your safety.”
“Your Majesty, please don’t trouble yourself for me. Right now, all I need is for Your Majesty to take care of your health.”
Su Yingxue focused on preparing the medicine, causing Consort Xiang to become curious. “You were involuntarily entangled in the harem’s disputes because of me. You nearly lost your life yesterday, and yet you are still willing to save me. Genius Doctor Chu, can you tell me what condition you asked of me?”
Consort Xiang, who had no one to rely on, was not a fool. She couldn’t believe that Su Yingxue had no ulterior motives. They were strangers, so why would Su Yingxue risk her life to cure her?
Su Yingxue had no intention of concealing it. “The poison in Your Majesty’s body was developed by my relative. The cause of her death is unknown, so I am determined to find out who poisoned Your Majesty and where she obtained the poison.”
“So it’s !” Consort Xiang was surprised but also felt somewhat relieved.
She held Su Yingxue’s hand and made a solemn promise. “As long as you cure me, you will be my lifesaver. 1 will do everything in my power to assist you. You must believe me. I swear on my identity as the princess of the Western Regions.”
“Alright, I trust Your Majesty.” Su Yingxue and Consort Xiang high-fived, solidifying their alliance.
Su Yingxue then administered another acupuncture treatment for Consort Xiang. Consort Xiang personally escorted her out of the palace. Originally, she intended to take Su Yingxue to meet the emperor and then send her out of the palace. However, she spotted someone standing outside the palace.
“Ninth Prince?” Consort Xiang’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
Xiang Ling immediately reminded her, “Your Majesty, Genius Doctor Chu was personally sent by the Ninth Prince.”
“I see. No wonder 1 wanted to bring you to see the Emperor, but you showed no emotional response.” Consort Xiang covered her mouth and smiled.
She still remembered Chu Yihan’s appearance when she first saw him many years ago. He was a young man full of grace, handsome, and with an extraordinary demeanor. Seeing him again now, he exuded even more dominance and fierceness, arousing admiration.
His gaze shifted elsewhere, cold and unruly. But when it fell upon Su Yingxue, it unconsciously softened.
Consort Xiang immediately pushed Su Yingxue towards Chu Yihan. Til trouble the Ninth Prince to escort Genius Doctor Chu out of the palace.”
“Genius Doctor Chu?” Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow slightly and squeezed Su Yingxue’s hand. “So you’re called ‘Genius Doctor Chu’.”
Su Yingxue bit her lip and kicked Chu Yihan’s foot in frustration before taking the lead and walking out.
Consort Xiang watched them leave with a hint of envy in her eyes. “No wonder Genius Doctor Chu was able to cure me and freely enter and leave the palace. It turns out he has someone to protect him.”
“Your Majesty, you also have someone to protect you. The emperor is protecting you!” Xiang Ling reassured her..
