Chapter 1505: Chapter 1500: Sisi, Came Back to Life

Although Su Yingxue was concerned about Noble Consort Xiao, she could not bring medicine to her every day, as Chu Jinling had become much harder to fool than before.

They still needed to expend quite some effort if they wanted to keep it a secret from him.

She had to secretly treat Sisi outside the palace, and Noble Consort Xiao inside could not ostentatiously take medicine.

Thus… this was truly hard on Noble Consort Xiao.

Noble Consort Xiao, as if guessing Su Yingxue’s thoughts, smiled with a touch of magnificence, “The empress need not worry. If my body cannot hold up, I simply won’t undergo bloodletting anymore. After all, there’s no point in saving a walking corpse at the expense of a living one, right?”

“Yes,” Su Yingxue had to admit, it was indeed true.

Today, her visit was precisely to make arrangements for Noble Consort Xiao, “The emperor and I will leave the imperial palace soon, and the return date is uncertain. However, I am deeply concerned about Sisi’s situation. I’ve arranged for a medical girl I personally trained to guard her closely, and Saint Ruan will take over the blood transfusion matter. I’ve instructed him that after each blood withdrawal and transfusion, he must prepare sufficient blood-nourishing and body-strengthening medicine for you, Her Highness, to take back to the palace to brew, ensuring your health is well-protected.”

Sisi’s recovery was certainly important, but Noble Consort Xiao couldn’t collapse because of this.

Noble Consort Xiao took Su Yingxue’s hand, “I’m not too concerned about myself. I just want to know, has there been any improvement with General Lin? She has been back for several months now; whether she is dead or alive, there should be a conclusion by now, shouldn’t there?”

A smile crept onto Su Yingxue’s face, “There has been an improvement. She has… come back to life.”

A glint of light flashed in Noble Consort Xiao’s eyes.

She was somewhat eagerly wishing to accompany Su Yingxue to see Lin Sisi. Su Yingxue had this intention as well, since she was leaving she couldn’t keep Noble Consort Xiao hanging. So, she quietly led her out through the secret passageways of the imperial palace, and they arrived at the Ninth Prince’s Mansion.

Lin Sisi was recuperating here, where it couldn’t be safer.

She stayed in the courtyard Chu Yihan had once prepared for Chu Jinling when he refused to leave the Ninth Prince’s Mansion—all to Chu Jinling’s liking. Upon waking and seeing this place, her heart was also filled with joy.

However, her entire body was shattered, and now she could only lie in bed to recuperate.

Saint Ruan was still racking his brains, trying to nurse her body back to health and restore her appearance.

Before Su Yingxue stepped in, Saint Ruan was still scratching his head and ears, “Her facial bones are so badly damaged, how am I to fix them! And this nose-bridge… these hand and ankle bones are pissing me off! Makes me want to kill someone to vent my anger!”

He hadn’t used his poison for quite some time now.

Truly infuriating!

“If you dare to kill someone, I’ll twist off your head!”

Su Yingxue lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold, her authority shooting straight at Saint Ruan, startling him into a shiver.

Saint Ruan, who was standing by Lin Sisi’s bedside contemplating how to apply her cast, jumped up at Su Yingxue’s arrival, “I see you’ve finally remembered to come? Where the hell did you toss me off to?”

Damn it!

She just dumped Lin Sisi on him and ordered, if she wasn’t cured, he would be discarded!

She truly took advantage of her indulgence, acting unrestrainedly!

“No matter where you’ve been thrown, you must cure Sisi! How has Sisi been doing recently?” Su Yingxue walked up to him and glared.

She wasn’t as tall as him, yet she was much more fierce.

Saint Ruan suspected that he was the one begging Su Yingxue for help.

Damn it, she completely lacked the attitude of someone seeking help, acting as if he owed her for eight generations.

“I believe in your wickedness!”

Saint Ruan clenched his teeth, making a grating sound.

“Empress… Your Majesty.”

Su Yingxue heard a faint voice, turned around, and sat beside the bed, surprised to find that Lin Sisi had already opened her eyes.

She could see her, and she could speak now!

“Sisi, you can talk now!”

Su Yingxue was overjoyed, to her it was an unexpected blessing!

“How long have I been guarding her, and she still couldn’t speak? Have I lived in vain at such an old age!”

Saint Ruan pushed Su Yingxue aside, annoyed by the sight of her tossing him aside after having used him!

Su Yingxue pushed Saint Ruan aside, “Don’t be noisy, step aside! Let Xiao… Let Her Majesty take another look at Sisi.”

She made room, and behind the light of the window stood a person.

Wearing a veil, Noble Consort Xiao stood behind the window. She heard Lin Sisi speaking and saw her open her eyes, finally feeling somewhat relieved.

However, she did not stay long and returned to the palace first.

Su Yingxue still had some words to say to Lin Sisi.

There was a lot she wanted to say, but very little she could actually impart.

She placed a golden medallion carved by Chu Yihan beside Lin Sisi’s pillow, gently telling her, “This is from your husband. He started carving it before that battle, but it wasn’t finished. Every stroke on this medallion was carved with his inner strength. The Wu Ya Sect would only take on a single disciple in a lifetime. He originally planned to mentor Heng’er, but now, he only has one disciple, and that is you, Sisi.”

“The emperor… No, is… is Master, has something happened to him?”

Lin Sisi struggled with every word she said because her entire face was shattered. Saint Ruan had exerted great effort to allow her to recuperate slightly, and her face was still plastered with gypsum.

But her concern for Chu Yihan was no less than anyone else’s.

Su Yingxue did not hide from her, “We don’t know if we can return this time after leaving. The affairs of the state have been entrusted to Jinling. Jinling is loyal and upright, we believe he will take good care of Heng’er. But if you Sisi, could also assist him by Heng’er’s side…”

“I can! I will!”

Lin Sisi tried to get up excitedly, but when she moved, she felt a searing pain all over her body, the agony was almost unbearable!

“Don’t be reckless! You haven’t recovered from your injuries yet. You’re still sustained by the parasites we used to nurture you. What can you possibly assist with? Just surviving in your current state is good enough!”

Saint Ruan hurriedly reminded her, while also preparing medicine for Lin Sisi.

As he worked, he glared at Su Yingxue as if to blame her, what nonsense was she talking!

Knowing full well Lin Sisi could not possibly aid anyone – not to mention assisting – her living a few more years would be a miracle itself!

She was currently being kept alive by the parasites nurtured by Noble Consort Xiao’s blood within her.

What to do about the parasites later was uncertain. Moreover, her full recovery would take at least two to three years, and even then her survival was unknown. Even if her bones healed and she could stand, she could no longer be the formidable great general she once was.

Her face was now collapsed like a sinkhole, rendering her unable to show herself to others!

Still discussing assistance?

Saint Ruan suspected Su Yingxue was intentionally aggravating Lin Sisi!

Su Yingxue comforted Lin Sisi once more, urging her to take good care of herself and to recuperate quickly. She promised to find a way to remove the parasites from Lin Sisi, and then left the room.
