Chapter 1385: Chapter 1380: She Takes Zi Wei With Her

He guessed that Su Yingxue would most likely disagree.

“Not acceptable!”

As expected.

Su Yingxue held Chu Yihan’s hand with a serious look in her eyes, “You can’t go! Neither can that old man, Saint Ruan!”

“Why?!”

“Why?”

Both men echoed each other, each with the intention of rebutting Su Yingxue.

Chu Yihan would never allow her to venture into danger alone.

As for Saint Ruan, he intended to protect Su Yingxue by accompanying her; she might stop Chu Yihan from going, but why was she also blocking him?

She couldn’t possibly go alone without him!

Su Yingxue grabbed one wrist in each hand, lifting Chu Yihan’s and saying, “You, as the emperor, the Chief Military Commander, if you fall into danger, who will command the tens of thousands of soldiers? Also, you are Sisi’s blood bank; if something happens to you, there will be no saving Sisi!”

She continued, grabbing Saint Ruan’s wrist, “And you! Old poison doctor, you’ve helped me develop the medicine this time, and besides me, you’re the most knowledgeable about the corpse gu. But only you can care for Sisi’s body. Neither of you can go.”

“I…” Saint Ruan was at a loss for words, his logic twisted, yet it seemed so correct!

Sisi’s frail body and face couldn’t be entrusted to anyone else!

If anything were to happen to Chu Yihan, not only would the Great Cheng Dynasty’s army lack leadership, but Sisi’s blood bank would also be gone.

They both…

She was the more suitable choice.

Chu Yihan brushed off Saint Ruan’s hand, taking her by the shoulders, “No matter what, we can’t let you go alone. How dangerous is Long Guan City?”

No one dared claim they could leave there unscathed; Mu Rongche had said it was like purgatory.

Chu Yihan was considering, if it couldn’t be helped, he might have to send Chu Yifeng instead.

It was absolutely not acceptable for Su Yingxue to go alone!

Su Yingxue lifted her lips slightly, “Who said I was going alone? I will take Seventeen with me. His martial arts skills are on par with Zi Wei; do you have anything else to worry about!”

“He… also can’t!”

Chu Yihan would never feel at ease leaving Su Yingxue in someone else’s hands.

Su Yingxue embraced him, “Hubby, trust me with this, you also need to take some proper rest.”

Before Chu Yihan could respond, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist followed by a loss of consciousness, “Su Yingxue! You…”

He fell unconscious before he could finish his sentence.

Su Yingxue supported his collapse to the ground, then turned to look at Saint Ruan, “What are you standing there for? Help me carry him back!”

Saint Ruan watched, his teeth almost chattering, “Su Yingxue, you’ve got guts harder than iron! You even dare to take action against Chu Yihan!”

Wouldn’t Chu Yihan break her arms when he woke up?

“It’s my own husband; there’s nothing I’d be afraid to do.” Su Yingxue appeared nonchalant. She’d injected him with a sleeping needle, considering his health.

He had been drained so much blood for Sisi, he needed to rest well, and only after resting properly could he continue fighting.

After all… he wouldn’t bear to do anything to her!

She and Saint Ruan carried Chu Yihan back to the military tent and ordered Mo Qi to guard the sleeping Chu Yihan. They said that when he woke up, he must not get agitated and must obediently drink the blood replenishing tonic, or else she wouldn’t bear him a daughter in the future!

Mo Qi, hearing this, felt a chill down his spine, “Your Highness, perhaps you should write it down. I can show it to the emperor?”

Would he dare say those words to Chu Yihan?

He dared not.

He wanted to live a few more years!

Had it been before, Su Yingxue would have saved his face and written it down, but upon thinking of this fellow actually coming to her to ask for medicine, to restore his memory, looking like he was about to betray Leng Muling, Su Yingxue coldly said, “If you don’t write, then you’ll be dealt with by military law.”

Upon seeing her anger, Mo Qi immediately knelt on one knee, “At your command!”

He didn’t know why Su Yingxue was angry with him, but fear aside, even if the emperor woke up and punished him, he couldn’t avoid it.

It was just Su Yingxue’s attitude that made him think of Leng Muling.

He had left her a letter, promising to explain everything once he returned.

He owed her an apology, but as soon as this war was over, he definitely would not let her down.

Su Yingxue left the tent, calling out, “Seventeen!”

A black figure descended from the sky, swift and agile, “My lord.”

Su Yingxue opened her mouth, intending to ask him to accompany her to Long Guan City, but before she could speak, Zi Wei said, “I’ll accompany you.”

This caught Su Yingxue off guard, “You heard?”

Zi Wei: “I have always been here.”

Whenever Su Yingxue needed, he would appear at the first moment.

A wave of familiarity suddenly surged in Su Yingxue’s heart. Zi Wei had been by her side back then, just like this, with the same tone, the same cold yet resolute expression.

She couldn’t help but wonder, was he Seventeen, or Zi Wei?

Seeing her pause, Zi Wei immediately added a few words, “Is there something else?”

Su Yingxue collected herself and shook her head, “Nothing else, just to tell you, Long Guan City is very dangerous, filled with corpse gu. My medicine might not work, so we need to be very careful, and there’s a possibility we won’t be able to return.”

“We will,” Zi Wei’s eyes were coldly determined, “return.”

Definitely.

He was determined to protect Su Yingxue’s safety.

Su Yingxue’s sense of familiarity grew stronger, comforting herself because they both came from Silver Moon Pavilion, so it was natural they were extremely similar.

The person before her was Seventeen, not Zi Wei.

So, she needn’t fear the consequences if something happened to him afterward.

Su Yingxue’s order was to go to Long Guan City at night, to avoid being detected by people and corpse gu. Since she also had medicines prepared, Zi Wei took the opportunity to write a letter to Yue Lian during his free time.

The letter contained only one sentence: I am going to protect my lord to Long Guan City.

He also had a mechanical device made by Yue Lian that could quickly deliver the letter to her, but when it was time to use it, he hesitated.

Long Guan City was extremely dangerous, and if he got hurt, maimed, or died while protecting his lord…

If Yue Lian knew, she would be heartbroken, wouldn’t she?

She would cry.

The last time when he had taken her home, she cried for no reason, but seeing her tears always left him with a bittersweet feeling.

His mind in turmoil for a moment, Zi Wei then destroyed the letter.

The bamboo slips and the letter both turned into dust in the palm of his hand.

Perhaps it’s better not to hurt her.

Though he triggered the mechanism without the content, the device nonetheless reached Yue Lian.

Yue Lian looked at the empty ‘messenger pigeon,’ furrowing her brows in deep thought.

Behind her, the quirky little girl was tugging at her arm. When she saw what was in her hand, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, “That man sent this to you! What does it say!”

Her lustrous, large eyes shimmered with curiosity.

Yue Lian sat down, candidly telling her, “It’s from Daddy! Not that man! However, your daddy only sent an empty one, no content at all.”

“Strange, strange!” Yue Xin scoffed haughtily, disdainful of looking at that empty thing any longer.

But as she rested her tiny, tender fists against her cheeks, a thought suddenly struck her, “An empty one, could it be that he’s gone?”
