THE USELESS MIRACLE DOCTOR CONSORT IS SPOILED ROTTEN BY THE PRINCE!

Chapter 1222: Chapter 1218: The Conspiracy of Xiao Hui’s Death

She must die… die by Chu Yihan’s side!

Leng Shuqing wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, knelt in her own courtyard as Chu Yihan had ordered, and silently accepted the punishment he meted out.

Throughout it all, Su Yingxue never appeared before her, no scolding, no boasting, and no showing off Chu Yihan’s care for her.

But she was so full of hate!

Su Yingxue was the utter winner.

Chu Yihan deeply loved her, favored her, gave his heart, his all to her!

She didn’t have to do anything, yet she enjoyed the best things in this world that he provided!

Why?

Why exactly!

In what way was she inferior to Su Yingxue?

What did Su Yingxue have, to be worthy of such unparalleled affection!

Leng Shuqing bit her lip till it bled, the blood slipping down her mouth, over her neck as smooth as white jade.

Pure white skin, bright red blood, the winding trails were particularly glaring; on Leng Shuqing’s face, they bred an air of obsession and jealousy.

The envy in her heart could no longer be hidden!

Her grace and restraint, the rules of propriety, were all shattered by this envy!

She wanted revenge!

She was determined to make Su Yingxue… suffer!

“Achoo—”

Su Yingxue sneezed in the room, holding the little monster that had just fallen asleep in her arms.

Upon seeing Chu Yihan return, she placed Chu Heng on the bed and tenderly tucked him in.

Chu Heng had a delicate and tender appearance, sleeping with a finger in his mouth; one more glance at him would fill her heart with the innocent nature of childhood.

After kissing him, Su Yingxue was suddenly lifted into the air.

Chu Yihan carried her to a soft couch in the outer room and nuzzled her neck.

Su Yingxue, tickled, found Chu Yihan’s lips and pecked them, “After the emperor had dealt with the Imperial Consort, I started to sneeze, did you perhaps punish her too harshly?”

Chu Yihan’s handsome face instantly turned cold, “Are you blaming me again? If you are so compassionate, should I revise all the palace rules and regulations for you?”

Just like her, to let those women in the harem do as they please; how then could she maintain her leisurely role as the empress?

Su Yingxue chuckled lightly, cupped his face, and kissed him, “I would never blame my husband. Whatever you do is for my sake, but from now on, as the empress, I will have the dignity and means to deal with all the trivial matters of the harem for you.”

“Hmm?” Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

Leaning on Chu Yihan’s chest, Su Yingxue spoke softly, “I was lenient toward Leng Shuqing before, diagnosing her, out of pity for them. They will never receive your affection and are just lonely people in the deep palace. You let them enter the palace initially to stabilize the court’s affairs and for me. I just sympathized as a woman! But Leng Shuqing… she crossed the line.”

She shouldn’t have let Wang Yun in, thinking to drive a wedge between Chu Yihan and me.

After going through life and death, we are inseparable for life, without any misunderstandings, and we will never part again.

And I will never again easily forgive anyone who schemes against me and my husband.

I will let Leng Shuqing know that I’m not only Chu Yihan’s favored wife but also his sole empress!

The one who could securely sit on the throne!

A sense of deep satisfaction welled up in Chu Yihan’s heart; this was the happiest moment since he left the palace!

Su Yingxue knew that her showing her authority was an act of protection and love for him.

Chu Yihan hooked her chin, deeply kissing her with passion.

Just when their kiss became inseparable, a hurried voice came from outside, “Emperor, something terrible has happened—Xiao Hui is dead!”

——————

In the Yangzhou Prefecture prison.

Wang Jingzhi kneeled at the entrance with his men, waiting. As soon as Chu Yihan arrived, he hurriedly begged for forgiveness, “This subject has failed to detect the problem; please forgive me, Emperor!”

“Stand up!”

Chu Yihan walked past him, leading Su Yingxue by the hand.

Su Yingxue’s face was still veiled. As she stepped into the cell where Xiao Hui’s corpse lay, she immediately approached to inspect it!

“Be careful! There are insects on the body and we do not yet know what type they are,” Wang Jingzhi warned urgently.

He followed closely behind Chu Yihan, with utmost seriousness, “Reporting to the Emperor, Xiao Hui did not eat his dinner. By the time the servants discovered him, he had already passed away, and these red insects were continuously crawling out of his nose and mouth.”

Wang Jingzhi pointed to the body of Xiao Hui as he explained.

Because those insects were poisonous, and the servant who had just touched one had died just like Xiao Hui, gasping for air, he had carefully sealed the area, forbidding outsiders from entering. Even the Wuzuo could not examine the body, fearing the loss of another life.

Hearing that these blood-sucking insects were deadly, Chu Yihan immediately held Su Yingxue’s hand tighter, “Be careful!”

Su Yingxue gave him a reassuring look, “I will be cautious!”

She was different from the others; she had tools and Little Ginseng!

From the medicine box she brought, she took out a mask and gloves and put them on. Then, very carefully, she used tweezers to pick up a few blood-sucking insects and placed them into porcelain jars before moving closer to inspect Xiao Hui’s corpse.

The skin on the face was shriveled and clinging to the bones, without any blood in the body, as if the flesh had been completely devoured.

Compared to his previous atrocious state, with his eyes gouged and ears and nose chopped off by Chu Yifeng, the current scene was several times more harrowing.

Su Yingxue frowned slightly, “It’s true that scoundrels grind down one another.”

Xiao Hui had committed many atrocities over the years and had many lives on his hands. Now…

Setting aside the manner in which he was murdered, his retribution had finally arrived.

Su Yingxue went into Medicine King Valley, grabbed Little Ginseng, and together they studied the blood-sucking insects. They were a kind of sorcery insect that bred by consuming human blood and flesh; if a person accidentally came into contact with them and was consumed, the insects would seep into the veins, beyond salvation by any medicine.

They were ferocious eaters!

In a short time, they could completely devour a person!

“Quite a lethal creature, how long have they been bred?” Little Ginseng observed the round insects in the medicine field, which hadn’t died after leaving the host, showing just how full they had fed earlier!

The servant that died in vain had become food for these blood-sucking insects without even realizing what was happening.

Su Yingxue’s brows were tightly furrowed, “These sorcery insects need to be bred. Xiao Hui was in the imperial prison; certainly no one could have used sorcery on him there. These must have been insects bred within him for some time—this technique of using a human body to breed sorcery insects…”

“Exist in the small states of the nine provinces!” Little Ginseng interjected quickly.

“Hmm? How do you know that?” Su Yingxue didn’t even have time to realize it herself.

Little Ginseng had tied up two little braids for herself, and when she was acting cocky, her braids shook adorably, “You’ve brought in so many books; I’ve read them all, of course I would know! In Ji Yun Country of the nine provinces, there’s a sorcery family that specializes in studying poisonous sorcery and breeding such insects. These blood-sucking insects must have come from there.”

She knew the source, but as for the rest… she did not know and chose not to say.

After all, it was Su Yingxue’s problem to worry about, not hers.

After finding these records in the books of Medicine King Valley, Su Yingxue began to compare the information with Xiao Hui’s body and found that the details matched the records.
