Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Don’t you know what kind of personality Your Highness has? You knew that the genius doctor was someone you couldn’t easily touch, yet you easily drove a wedge between her and Your Highness. Your Highness didn’t make a move on you already because of the many years of knowing each other. But these years of knowing each other end here.”
Mo Qi said as he shook his head and sighed. Seeing the disappointment and heartache in Hong Lian’s eyes, his heart ached.
“It won’t happen. Your Highness wouldn’t treat me …” Hong Lian sobbed, her eyes turning red.
“Hong Lian, don’t be too upset.” Mo Qi tried to comfort her.
But before his hand could touch her face, she forcefully pushed it away. With a pained hatred in her eyes, Hong Lian said, “It’s all that genius doctor’s fault! What qualifications does she have to make Your Highness do this? Why does Your Highness treat me because of her? How long has she known Your Highness?”
Mo Qi realized the danger and grabbed Hong Lian’s shoulders to remind her, “You must not target the genius doctor. If… if Master finds out, he will punish you severely! You must not harm the person Master wants to protect!”
Mo Qi’s nervousness indicated how much Chu Yihan cared about that woman.
Hong Lian quietly hid the jealousy in her eyes and gritted her teeth. “Got it.”
Mo Qi finally felt relieved.
But once he left, the flames of jealousy erupted in Hong Lian. She not only wanted to harm that woman, but she also wanted to make her die!
No one could replace her position in Chu Yihan’s heart!
She was the only woman who stood out by Chu Yihan’s side!
Only she, who ruled over the Silver Moon Pavilion, was worthy of Chu Yihan, the extraordinary talent!
On the way back to the clinic with Zi Wei, Su Yingxue remained silent. Zi Wei, who was behind her, seemed like a nonexistent person.
Su Yingxue couldn’t even hear his breathing.
But when she sought it, Zi Wei would immediately appear.
Su Yingxue thought for a moment and was still angry. She questioned Zi Wei, “What were you doing last night? Why didn’t you come back to find me?”
Zi Wei’s voice lacked any warmth. “I have been watching over you.”
“What do you mean? You were watching over me… Why didn’t you just take me out of the palace?” Su Yingxue’s face was filled with anger. Since he was watching over her, why did he let her stay in Chu Yihan’s bedroom all night?
“You didn’t refuse him.”
Zi Wei’s words were short but enough to convey his meaning.
If Su Yingxue had rejected Chu Yihan, he would have made a move and killed him. Even if he couldn’t kill Chu Yihan, he would have taken Su Yingxue away.
But from his perspective, Su Yingxue didn’t resist Chu Yihan, so he had been hiding in the palace until Su Yingxue left and jumped of the carriage. Only then did he appear and take her away.
“You…” Su Yingxue bit her lip and said, “Are you saying that I willingly stayed with Chu Yihan?”
How could she willingly stay? She didn’t!
Su Yingxue returned to the clinic in a huff. She hadn’t made any house calls for two days, which alarmed Manager Qi. He wanted to show concern for Su Yingxue, but she coldly ignored him.
Only Zi Wei could approach Su Yingxue.
He inquired Zi Wei, “Little brother, do you know why Miss is angry? It’s not good for her health to be angry.”
“I don’t know,” Zi Wei replied expressionlessly.
“Then bring a bowl of ginseng soup to Miss.”
Manager Qi’s forehead was covered in sweat. It seemed that anyone who could be on the same side as Miss wasn’t quite normal!
Su Yingxue locked herself up for several days. In order to prevent herself from getting angry, she organized all the patient’s files, prepared medicine for Consort Xiang, prepared medicine for Zi Wei, and filled her schedule to the brim, not allowing herself any spare time to think about Chu Yihan..
