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

Qin Mu Yan was so shocked by this revelation that he couldn’t regain his composure for a long time.

He did know that Wu Dao was a soul from this world, as were Han Yuwen and Rong Sheng. So his little aunt… no, it should be said Su Yingxue’s mother was as well.

Thinking back, this matter did not seem so strange after all.

Though he had never seen his little aunt, the Imperial Brother said she was always a gentle and timid girl, far different from the world-renowned Long Shuli.

“Therefore, the person with whom you were betrothed is already gone. Our betrothal has not been fulfilled, and you need not dwell on it.”

Su Yingxue advised.

The greatest regret is not that one has failed to obtain what they desire.

But that what was rightfully his was mistakenly given to someone else.

If it was never his to begin with.

It should be able to untie the indissoluble knot in his heart.

Qin Mu Yan’s smile was mournful, “It seems, Your Highness, we were truly not fated.”

If only his injuries had been more severe a bit earlier, if only he had met Su Yingxue a bit sooner…

Now, thinking about these things was meaningless.

Qin Mu Yan helped Su Yingxue onto the horse, “Since it is so, Your Highness will not obstruct you and Chu Yihan any longer. This horse was discovered by Your Highness in the forest, it took quite some time to tame. Capable of traveling a thousand li in a day, fiercely loyal, it has followed me through many battles. Today, Your Highness gifts it to you.”

Before Su Yingxue could say anything, Qin Mu Yan patted the horse, as if communicating with it.

No sooner had he left the horse, it raised its hooves and neighed.

It lifted its front legs high in a display of wild grace, showcasing its ability to cover great distances.

Yet it did so without harming Su Yingxue in the slightest.

Su Yingxue was amazed, “What an impressive horse!”

To receive such a fine horse from Qin Mu Yan, how embarrassing for her!

“Cousin, what is the horse’s name?”

Since Qin Mu Yan offered it with such sincerity, it would be terribly rude not to accept!

Qin Mu Yan smiled faintly, “Since it is a gift to you, it’s your horse. You should name it.”

Su Yingxue held the reins, glanced at Qin Mu Yan once more, and after a moment’s thought, she said, “Let’s call it ‘Chuxin’ (Initial Heart).”

“Good.”

Qin Mu Yan did not ask about the meaning behind the name she chose. He stood in place, watching her as she spurred the horse and left.

As he watched her retreating figure, the longing in his eyes transitioned from intense to ethereal, diluting bit by bit until it vanished into nothingness.

He turned and entered the military camp.

Riding Chuxin, Su Yingxue hurried to catch up to Chu Yihan. The forest breeze was refreshingly pleasant, and her smile gradually blossomed, “Chuxin is most beautiful. To not forget Chuxin is to remain true to the beginning.”

All things in this world come to this.

Qin Mu Yan’s treasured gift, she would remember in her heart.

She would surely never forget.

Years later, Chuxin would still be there.

——

Chu Yihan was having a tiff with Su Yingxue.

Along the way, Mo Qi and the Shadow Guards all complained bitterly.

Both masters were very composed, each more resilient than the other.

But those who served them could not endure it!

Mo Qi, accustomed to being tormented, was doing okay, but the other Shadow Guards who followed suffered miserably. In front of Chu Yihan, one would be punished each day, and the punishment was to return to the Shadow Guard Camp for retraining.

They had all finally graduated from the Shadow Guard Camp and had yet to really show their skills.

So! Just like that, they had the ill luck of being sent back to start over.

What rotten luck!
