BXBX NOVEL Chapter 50 - 50: Protect Her
The impulse in his body made him want to do more things, but Su Yingxue cried.
His heart felt as if it had been splashed with boiling lava.
He immediately let go of her.
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth and glared at him as she spat out one word coldly, “Shameless!”
This wasn’t the first time she had called him that, but Chu Yihan could sense that this time she was genuinely angry.
For the first time, his heart felt somewhat unsettled. He instinctively reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, but Su Yingxue coldly slapped his hand away, saying, “Get away! Don’t ever touch me again! I feel disgusted!”
“Su Yingxue, am I really that disgusting to you?” Chu Yihan’s heart ached, and his dark, ink-like eyes carried a hidden sadness that was difficult to face directly.
“Yes, you disgust me. So please, Your Highness, show some self-respect!” Su Yingxue managed to suppress the urge to attack him.
Chu Yihan turned around and left the chamber.
Not long after his departure, Su Yingxue heard a commotion outside the chamber as the imperial guards began searching the palace. She hurriedly rolled up her clothes, intending to escape, when a man’s roar came from beyond the door, “Get out!”
“Your Highness, we have been ordered to search due to an attempt on the Empress’s life.”
“Boom!”
The response that followed was not Chu Yihan’s voice, but a domineering and forceful palm strike that sent the line of imperial guards flying. A group of well-trained and highly skilled soldiers scattered before Chu Yihan like fleeing soldiers.
Separated by the door, Su Yingxue once again experienced the man’s power. If he had wanted to use force on her just now, there was no need to explain the current state she would be in.
Chu Yihan returned to the chamber. His voice was clear and cold, tinged with a hint of a bloodthirsty aura, “Stay in the chamber. No one will disturb you. Tomorrow, 1 will take you away.”
Su Yingxue coldly snorted, not providing any response.
As Chu Yihan watched her slender figure enter the chamber to rest, his eyes filled with increasing confusion. He sat in the chamber, pondering throughout the night, trying to understand where things had gone wrong.
The next day, Su Yingxue got up. Her clothes had dried, so she removed them and returned them to Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan had worn only a thin undershirt the previous day. Now, dressed in his court attire, he looked dignified and exuded an overwhelming presence. His entire being emanated a dominance that made it impossible for others to look up to him.
Chu Yihan instinctively reached for her hand. “1’11 escort you out of the palace.”
Su Yingxue coldly evaded him. “I’ll go find Consort Xiang. After I finish treating her, she will arrange for my departure. Your Highness, there’s no need for you to trouble yourself.”
“I will accompany you,” Chu Yihan said. Although his face remained cold, his voice carried a trace of warmth and protective intent.
With Chu Yihan by her side, Su Yingxue boldly entered Consort Xiang’s palace.
After not seeing her for some time, Consort Xiang’s complexion had improved significantly. Her exotic charm became even more enchanting, and her sapphire-like eyes sparkled.
After inviting Su Yingxue behind the curtains, Consort Xiang asked her to take her pulse while expressing concern, “I heard that there was an assassination attempt in Fengzao Palace yesterday. Genius Doctor Chu, was it you…?”
“It was the Empress who forced me into the palace and tried to treat me as an assassin,” Su Yingxue replied calmly, showing no fear of being accused as an assassin.
Consort Xiang blamed herself. “I’m sorry. 1 didn’t consider everything carefully and made you angry the Empress.”
“If the Empress didn’t have malicious intentions, why would she target me? Your Majesty, it’s the Empress who harms others. You should be more forthright,” Su Yingxue said, causing a hint of desolation to appear in Consort Xiang’s eyes.
