The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 867 - 865: One Less Person, The Bed Feels So Big
Chapter 867: Chapter 865: One Less Person, The Bed Feels So Big
Shen Yu, having her wishes fulfilled, was naturally overjoyed.
However, during dinner, she wanted to speak more with Qin Muyan, but he was cold-faced and refused to spare her an extra glance.
Inside the palace, Chu Yihan received a secret report, “Chu Yifeng has had an incident; Your Highness must return to Yungui City to check on him.”
Su Yingxue raised an eyebrow, “Could it be that he is refusing his medicine again, causing his condition to worsen?”
Chu Yihan remained silent, which meant there probably wasn’t any other issue.

Chu Yihan had intended to take Su Yingxue with him, “If he still refuses to take his medicine, you can just knock him out again.”
“Let’s not. After all, he is your brother. If I hit him too many times, we’ll still have to face each other in the future.”
Su Yingxue awkwardly tugged at her lips, admittedly she loathed the madman Chu Yifeng, and Chu Yihan would favor her for life.
But what if Chu Yifeng recovered and held a grudge against her?
When that time came, wouldn’t her husband be the one caught in the middle?
It was best to stop while she was ahead.
And so, Su Yingxue, embracing Chu Yihan, whispered, “I want to settle the affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty before returning. I must expose Shen Yu and Mu Fei’s schemes.”
“Mu Fei is cunning and not easy to deal with. Once Your Highness leaves, he will surely find an opportunity to strike.”
Chu Yihan stroked Su Yingxue’s nape, his eyes full of concern for her.
The terror he experienced on the day of their wedding was something he never wanted to relive for the rest of his life.
He also no longer wanted to be apart from her.
Su Yingxue curled her lips, “What is there to fear when I have my husband’s cold jade? With your Shadow Guards spread across the four kingdoms and nine provinces, how could I possibly come to harm in the Great Wei Dynasty?”
Chu Yihan patted her head, “That’s true. The Shadow Guards will ensure your safety at all times.”
Chu Yihan was somewhat reluctant to leave her, as he had planned to set off at dawn.
But using Chu Yifeng’s critical condition as a reason, Su Yingxue urged him to leave right away, in case Chu Yifeng died and it was too late.
Rong Sheng wouldn’t indulge him, after all.
Chu Yihan was persuaded by her reasoning.
Yet when the time came to depart, he couldn’t shake the feeling that something was amiss.
Upon his departure from the palace, Su Yingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and flopped onto the vast bed, rolling around several times both lengthways and widthways.
“I never noticed before, but this bed is huge.”
Su Yingxue heaved a long sigh. In the previous days, when she slept with Chu Yihan, he would either press down on her or insist on holding her as they fell asleep; she found it difficult to turn over, feeling as though only a small part of the bed was hers.
Now that Chu Yihan was gone, she finally didn’t have to endure being pinned down, and would not wake up with a sore back and aching waist the next morning.
But at night, there were always uninvited visitors.
“Princess Zhao Hua has arrived!”
The voice of a palace maid rang from outside her chamber.
Su Yingxue got up from the bed and slightly raised an eyebrow, “To think she has come at this hour.”
If Shen Yu was looking for her, it certainly wouldn’t be for anything good.
But Su Yingxue was not one to shrink from trouble.
She dressed herself and rose to meet Shen Yu just as she entered.
Her palace maids opened the doors for her; with a mocking curl of her lip, Su Yingxue said, “Princess Zhao Hua holds such a noble status, how can you be so ill-mannered as to barge into someone else’s chamber unannounced? You must be used to it from all those years as a pauper, right?”
Those who have risen from nothing to a phoenix’s perch detest nothing more than the reminder of their days as a crow in distress.
Shen Yu was the typical case.
At the mention of the word ‘pauper’, her expression turned sinister as she wished she could tear Su Yingxue into pieces there and then.
“Su Yingxue, do you think you can do as you please just because you consider yourself noble? This is the Great Wei Dynasty, and you are living in a Wei Dynasty palace. I, as Princess, can have you expelled at any time, or have you killed!”
