Imperial Treasure-Chapter 724 - 448: Joy of the Heart_2

Sui Yi remained silent. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"You really won’t ask? Today, I had planned to let you know a bit more—after she appeared."

Sui Yi turned her face to look at the evening glow on the horizon, a tiredness welling up. She closed her eyes for a moment, her voice was hoarse, "If I have truly forgotten those past events and became what I am now, some things are of no use even if you tell me them... So you don’t speak."

"Yes," Jiang Chenyu seemed to casually reply as she applied a layer of herbs to Sui Yi’s hand. It was actually a dressing on the bones, difficult to apply... then she wrapped it with the white bone dressing that had been prepared early.

Ye Zixu watched her finish wrapping.

Then, Jiang Chenyu stood up, smoothly adjusted her clothes with a composed and meticulous elegance.

Across from her, standing on the third-floor balcony of a teaching building a good distance away from two small buildings, Mo Ke looked on, paused for a long moment, and said, "Such demeanor and poise are rarely seen. To claim a humble origin seems too modest."

"The Family Head has met this person and has also said that she is mysterious and unpredictable... He advised the young mistress to pay more attention if encountered in the Capital City. In the past, she was elusive, and even our clan’s spies never got any news... I didn’t expect to run into her today..."

Mo Ke turned his face, "To carve flesh to the bone... Even though her medical skills are astounding... prepare for me a set of blood-invigorating and flesh-growing herbs."

"Yes."

By now, Jiang Chenyu had set down her hand, tidied up the medicine box, and asked Sui Yi, "Do you feel very sleepy?"

Sui Yi looked at her, her gaze hazy.

Eyes like that were destined to make people sink.

Jiang Chenyu watched her and said, "I added medicine to the drink; if you are sleepy, then sleep."

Upon hearing that medicine had been added.

Gong Jiu was the first to turn her head and glare at her angrily.

While Sui Yi, after hearing that, merely pursed her lips, closed her eyes, and her body slightly leaned, Jiang Chenyu caught her, and one hand touched Sui Yi’s left shoulder... somewhat scorching and rough, and there... was a piece sunken in.

Carved flesh and then burnt as well...

Her eyes darkened, with such wounds, yet maintaining an unchanging demeanor, she was indeed that person from the past...

No one could make you bow.

Gong Jiu had already stepped forward, wanting to intervene, but after all, she held some reservations and only asked with a suppressed voice, "Who, exactly, are you?"

Jiang Chenyu looked at her, "Miss Gong has been under the same roof with me for some time; to ask in such a way, you make me anxious."

"Don’t spout this archaic language to me..." Gong Jiu, never good at literature, was overwhelmed by this style of speech and twisted her mouth, "I just want to know exactly where you come from, your intentions unclear, and now you drugged her..."

Flower Demon covered Gong Jiu’s mouth, and Yhan Qingwu stepped forward, politely saying, "It’s not that we doubt Miss Jiang, but seeing as you and Sui Yi have a private relationship, we have no place to inquire. However, given the special circumstances, it would be difficult to fully entrust her to you for treatment without knowing anything about you."

The difference between the educated and the uneducated came out.

Jiang Chenyu looked at Yhan Qingwu. The two of them had not had much interaction, no more than the fingers on two hands, but in terms of understanding each other... it might not be shallow.

Perhaps because both were intelligent and restrained individuals, they understood the hidden meanings in each other’s actions and words even more...

"You want to know my relationship with her, right? This way, you can be more at ease."

"Yes."

Jiang Chenyu regarded her for a moment, picked up the medicine box, and said something that astonished Gong Jiu and the others, including Yi Chilian who had stepped forward.

"The person my heart delights in is her, my affection unwavering until death."

"Now, are you reassured?"

Gong Jiu nodded, "Reassured, reassured, so it’s you who delights in her..."

Delights in her? My affection for her? Seems not to be the meaning at all...

Ha! Flower Demon slapped her on the head.

You idiot!

That means a love rival!

In plain terms—The person I like, likes her, and this will not change even until death.

————————

A love rival is the most dangerous relationship in the world.

More dreadful than an enemy.

After all, an enemy may still have room for maneuvering... A love rival, however—especially a rivalry between women, can spawn wars that leave even Gods at a loss...

But it was really hard for Gong Jiu to believe that Jiang Chenyu and Sui Yi, two people with such high caliber, would be labeled with such a vulgar relationship as love rivals.

In her memory, a love rival was like those opulently dressed, plump middle-aged women and strikingly beautiful mistresses... (the ultimate love rivals).

However, Jiang Chenyu did not seem like someone who would joke about this, yet she declined to explain more... people emerged from the charred building.

Zhuang Ziliu was carrying someone.

Ming Lanyuan and the others didn’t step forward to stop him; it wasn’t because they were afraid of Zhuang Ziliu, nor willing to let go of Yi as a clue—even in death, they would need to keep the body for investigation. Mainly, it was due to the dread of that Black Crow Monster...
