THE USELESS MIRACLE DOCTOR CONSORT IS SPOILED ROTTEN BY THE PRINCE!
Chapter 1224: Chapter 1220: Chu Yifeng's Bizarre BehaviorChapter 1224: Chapter 1220: Chu Yifeng’s Bizarre Behavior
“Don’t think like that, perhaps Xiao Yu has his own considerations. As the head of the Xiao family, he wouldn’t get into trouble easily.” Chu Yihan could only try to comfort Su Yingxue first.
Xiao Qingyu also stood by, his face full of worry. He had sensed something was wrong three months ago and had wanted to rush back to the Xiao family to check.
But he couldn’t break the rules set by his elder brother.
If he had couldn’t help himself from returning to the main family then, and Xiao Yu was precisely unable to manage affairs, then the rules Xiao Yu had established would become the reason to punish him.
During these past few months, while staying in Yangzhou, he attempted to continue contacting Xiao Yu all the while preserving his own safety, and was accumulating strength.
Xiao Hui had died, and the odd circumstances behind his death were slowly coming to light.
...The conspiracies within the main family were probably turning everything upside down by now.
“Emperor, this humble one has an inappropriate request,” Xiao Qingyu, forcing himself to remain upright, knelt on the bed and made a request to Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan’s deep gaze fell upon him, “You wish for Us to take you back to the Xiao family?”
Xiao Qingyu looked up, “Yes! With the emperor present, even if I violate the rules set by my elder brother, I would not be immediately dealt with. If something has happened to my elder brother, I could still lend him a helping hand. With the emperor’s help, my brother won’t suffer too much hardship, and moreover… hasn’t it been a long while since my sister-in-law saw the empress?”
After speaking, he lowered his head, admitting to himself that he had once again used tactics.
He exploited the sisterly affection between Su Yingxue and Su Miaoyan to coerce Chu Yihan into bringing Su Yingxue with him back to the Xiao family.
But he had no other choice!
If Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue didn’t return to the Xiao family with him, his severely injured body was all too weak. He wouldn’t be able to help his elder brother and might not even get the chance to see him.
Su Yingxue bit her lip, her eyes reddening with worry. She was extremely anxious about Miaoyan.
Yet she stood by Chu Yihan’s side, not saying a word.
She couldn’t be impulsive. The matters of the Xiao family were of great significance!
In the end, it all depended on Chu Yihan’s decision.
“Stop biting. We will take you there,” said Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan pinched her chin, making her let go of her lips.
Su Yingxue’s rosy lips were full of her teeth marks, her beautiful lips bitten to a sorry state.
Chu Yihan felt distressed looking at them.
Su Yingxue was touched. She hugged Chu Yihan softly and spoke, “But wouldn’t this disrupt your plans? Shouldn’t we first investigate the assassination of Xiao Hui by Ji Yun Country?”
“Xiao Hui was also a member of the Xiao family. The disaster that began in the Xiao family must be traced back to its source from there.” Chu Yihan patted her head to comfort her.
Su Yingxue was taken back to Song Garden by him.
Chu Yihan also instructed Xiao Qingyu, giving him two days to recover quickly, and to set off for Hangzhou City immediately after.
During those two days, he too had to make thorough arrangements.
His original plan was also to make a trip to the Xiao family.
Only now, he needed to dispatch more personnel.
He sent Mo Qi to call Chu Yifeng for a consultation. Chu Yifeng, who used to arrive flying in just a few steps with his lightness skill, this time took a whole half an hour before appearing before Chu Yihan.
When he arrived, his robe embroidered with a design of a dragon amidst clouds was still damp with water stains.
Chu Yihan frowned and chastised him, “As a dignified prince, with your clothes in such disarray, what kind of appearance is that!”
Chu Yifeng was used to not dressing properly in the ghost market; either not tying his belt or not buttoning up, habitually walking around with half his chest exposed. These past two years in Jiang Du City, at least he was conditioned to curb that behavior.
Now he was starting again!
Chu Yifeng shook the wet hem of his robe, in a fairly good mood raised an eyebrow, “I was washing my daughter’s feet! This isn’t a court session, don’t be so serious. I’m not embarrassing you, Your Highness.”
Chu Yifeng never cared much about his image; after all, he was handsome, so it didn’t matter if he was dressed or not, or what he wore—women were always besotted with him wherever he went.
He didn’t need to bother with such things as getting dressed up.
It was Emperor Chu Yihan who was constantly lecturing him about propriety and rules, saying that as a prince, he couldn’t act without restraint.
It drove him absolutely mad.
After all, he had grown up in the ghost market, not in the palace.
Chu Yifeng, with his laid-back demeanour, saw that Chu Yihan was about to get angry again, and he quickly straightened his expression, “Alright, let’s talk business. You’re going to the Xiao family, what’s your plan?”
“I’ve already made my deployment, and I’ve only one more thing to instruct you,” said Chu Yihan, his face stern and his demeanor icy—more serious than when he faced Chu Yifeng in court.
Chu Yifeng raised his eyebrows, “What is it?”
He must be quite serious.
“I will take Xiao Qingyu with me, as well as Rong Sheng, the doctor treating him. On the way there and once we arrive at the Xiao family, you! You need to restrain yourself, and you are not to touch Xiao Qingyu again! He is very crucial.”
Chu Yihan’s tone was stern and carried a warning.
Chu Yifeng’s casual look visibly dissipated, his lips curled in a sinister smile, his eyes briefly glinted with bloodlust, and a fierce aura radiated from him, as if he had returned to his throne as the King of the Underworld, ready to sentence people to death with the Book of Life and Death in hand.
However, after waiting for a while, Chu Yifeng merely let out a cold laugh filled with malice, “What the hell do I care!”
Having said that, he kicked open the door and flew away.
Chu Yihan frowned as he watched his retreating figure, thoroughly puzzled.
He expected that Chu Yifeng would have a violent reaction that evening, or at least throw a tantrum; he might even immediately head to Tongchang Medical Center to assassinate Xiao Qingyu.
Yet, following Chu Yifeng, he found that the latter had simply returned to his own quarters and went to sleep.
Ah Hong, seeing Chu Yihan’s worried pursuit, bowed respectfully, then said, “Your Majesty need not worry. The master hasn’t gone out to deal with affairs recently, nor has he summoned any female servants. He has been spending the nights with Miss Chu Xi.”
Since Chu Xi was young and went to bed early, Chu Yifeng had taken to sleeping early every night with her, no longer indulging in nights of revelry as before.
“Is that so?”
This outcome was reassuring and exceedingly gratifying.
Yet Chu Yihan always felt that something was off.
It wasn’t like Chu Yifeng to do such things—an unfamiliar little girl having brought about such drastic changes in him in such a short time! The extent of change was so great that it was difficult to accept.
Upon returning to his room, he told Su Yingxue about it, and she was initially elated, “Even the King of the Underworld has changed his ways and started to accompany his daughter—it’s a cause for universal celebration!”
If the lunatic Chu Yifeng wasn’t out killing people or sadistically turning people into ‘human pigs,’ it was indeed a joyous occasion for both gods and mortals.
Such great news!
Chu Yihan, with his arms around her waist, spoke gravely, “This isn’t like him. Especially today, when I mentioned Rong Sheng, he only became enraged but took no action. I arranged for quite a few people in Tongchang Medical Center to protect Xiao Qingyu.”
But now it seems like his arrangements were superfluous.
If Su Yingxue had been less sensitive, she probably wouldn’t have minded much.
But knowing what Rong Sheng was doing, her expression gradually grew solemn.
The medicine Rong Sheng gave to Chu Yifeng might slowly be taking effect.
Su Yingxue felt a subtle heaviness in her heart, but it was a relief that Rong Sheng would be accompanying them to the Xiao family and not be separated from Chu Xi and her mother.
As for the relationship between the three of them and how they would get along…
