The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Su Yingxue dodged and swiftly drew out her whip.

“Pa!”

The whip cracked loudly in the air, resembling a spirit snake as it lashed towards Lan Ling.

Lan Ling’s knife was entangled, but he took advantage of the momentum to move forward. After getting close to Su Yingxue, he kicked her in the chest.

Although Su Yingxue used her arms to block, she still took a few steps back before managing to stand firm.

The impact of Lan Ling’s blade left her feeling a bit dizzy. “Guard Lan, is this the emperor’s order?”

Lan Ling didn’t attack her again, nor did he answer.

He gave Su Yingxue a chance to catch her breath and immediately returned to her.

Lan Ling’s martial arts was very powerful. It was evident from the crack marks on the palace wall caused by his blade. The Lan family’s saber technique was famous far and wide.

In the past, Su Yingxue had only dabbled in saber techniques. Later on, with Zi Wei, she didn’t practice much. Now, forced into a corner by Lan Ling, if he slashed her with his saber, her head would be severed.

Lan Ling saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and his eyes filled with pain.

Su Yingxue took the opportunity to slap him.

Lan Ling stepped back. Su Yingxue supported herself against the wall and stood up. Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she smiled faintly. “Many want my life, but if 1 die in Guard Lan’s hands today, I won’t be unconvinced. After all, 1 slacked off in my cultivation.”

Lan Ling’s face was cold. In the past, his long hair was neatly tied up. However, today, he let his long hair fall behind his back and tied it briefly. This made him, who used to look cold and handsome, appear more elegant.

The Lan family was also rich in handsome men.

However, Su Yingxue felt she had to give her all against this handsome man today.

Undoubtedly, she couldn’t match Lan Ling’s strength.

But Lan Ling didn’t kill her.

He knocked her down and placed the knife at her neck. Suddenly, Lan Ling’s breathing quickened as he said, “You should leave quickly.”

Although he didn’t immediately stand up and ask Su Yingxue to get up, he sheathed his blade and didn’t press Su Yingxue any further.

He refrained from causing her more harm.

“Lan Ling, why? You wanted to kill me, and now you want to let me go? What decree did the emperor give you?” Su Yingxue’s bright eyes were filled with doubt.

She could understand why the emperor wanted her dead. He didn’t want her to become a part of Chu Yihan’s power, so he ordered Lan Ling to kill her.

However, he had already held her life in his hands, yet he let her go so easily.

Lan Ling was captivated by her aura. He took a few more breaths before he got up and helped her up.

She handed her hand over in trust. When he held it in his palm, Lan Ling’s heart beat fiercely.

He looked at the soft hand in his and suddenly felt no regrets.

He sheathed his saber and walked into the depths of the palace.

Su Yingxue gazed at his elegant back and could still hear his voice.

He said, “Su Yingxue, take care.”

He had traded his life for hers, and he hoped her future would be filled with sunshine.

Just like what she had given him back then.

Su Yingxue didn’t have time to dwell on these thoughts. While Lan Ling might let her go, it didn’t guarantee the same from the next person who might appear.

She scooped up Su Yurou’s lifeless body and rushed towards the palace gate as fast as she could.

Chu Yihan didn’t wait for her at the palace gate. However, when she found herself surrounded by Imperial Guards, Chu Yihan ordered them to retreat. “Stand down!”

Chu Chengye, leading the Imperial Guards, spoke with a cold expression. “This has nothing to do with Imperial Uncle. Su Yingxue attempted to assassinate my mother. Today, I will capture her and punish her..”
