Chapter 1633 -1626: Only You, Bring The Warmth
Chu Xiaotian sent someone to invite Chu Yihan, but unexpectedly, Chu Yihan came in person.
Chu Xiaotian quickly greeted him, âImperial Uncle.â
Chu Yihan nodded slightly, âThe matter has been investigated clearly. The incident yesterday was spread by Song Chengyi, who is no longer at Su Yingxueâs clinic.â
Chu Xiaotian was not surprised at all, âSong Chengyi has ill intentions! Originally, he was just a minor deputy general, dreaming of reaching above his station to court Hanâer! After I married Hanâer, he continuously stirred her emotions. Such a sinister man does not deserve Hanâerâs thoughts!â
Chu Yihan listened with an expressionless face.
He would help Chu Xiaotian, purely because Chu Xiaotian had helped him a few times in the past, enabling him to escape trouble at the hands of Su Yingxue.
However, this time, Chu Xiaotian still needed his help, âImperial Uncle, the crux of this matter actually lies with Su Yingxue!
With Princess Shu Li supporting her, no one in the entire Great Cheng Dynasty dares to speak ill of her. If she continues to facilitate the matter between Hanâer and Song Chengyi, eventually⊠I might not be able to keep Hanâer.â
In his eyes, there was a manâs helplessness visible.
It wasnât that he couldnât keep his wifeâs heart, but that Su Yingxue⊠was simply too powerful!
He thought that this was something Chu Yihan could empathize with the most.
Chu Yihan coldly lifted his gaze, âYou want Your Highness to persuade Su Yingxue to stop interfering in this matter?â
âYour nephew confesses guilt! I know this troubles Imperial Uncle, but besides Imperial Uncle⊠Su Yingxue listens only to Princess Shu Li, I truly have no other choice.â
Chu Xiaotianâs tone was extremely heavy.
Chu Yihan did not agree to help him. He would not actively seek out Su Yingxue for Chu Xiaotianâs sake.
What he most wanted was to sever all ties with Su Yingxue forever.
Unfortunately, just as he entered the palace to visit his mother, he once again encountered Su Yingxue.
âMiss Su truly has a skilled and benevolent touch. Her Highness has sweated profusely, and now feels much refreshed and no longer dizzy,â the gentle voice of Shu Consort came with a light laughter.
As Chu Yihan stepped into the palace courtyard, he saw his mother walking arm in arm with Su Yingxue amidst a peach grove.
The pink and white blossoms framed Su Yingxueâs delicate face, making her more captivating than the flowers, her almond eyes twinkling like stars, exuding a beauty that delightfully lifted oneâs spirit.
His Imperial Brother once praised Su Yingxue as the greatest beauty of the Great Cheng Dynasty.
Indeed, she lives up to her reputation.
âYihan, youâre here!â
Shu Consort called out to Chu Yihan.
Chu Yihan approached to pay his respects, âMother.â
âHer Highness knows of your filial piety, you come to visit Her Highness every day,â Shu Consort said with a joyful smile.
Upon seeing Chu Yihan, Su Yingxue also curved her lips into a smile.
She had never been so compliant in front of their mother and son.
âWhat are you doing here?â In front of his own mother, Chu Yihan didnât keep too stern a face.
But his tone was not much better.
Zhilan, standing behind Su Yingxue, trembled with fright.
She inwardly criticized, how thankless her mistressâs effort was!
Su Yingxue spoke softly, âThe Consort is my patient, naturally, I must check on her recovery. Moreover, Her Highness lacks exercise, which causes continuous weakness. No amount of tonics compares to the benefits of regular walks outside.â
Shu Consort laughed in agreement, âYes, Miss Su has been here for a while, accompanying Her Highness on a walk. Her Highness feels much more relieved! Yihan, you should thank Miss Su.â
Chu Yihanâs face remained cold, and he said not a word.
Su Yingxue had never neglected attentiveness towards his mother before, but her methods were forceful.
Now⊠she was as attentive as ever, and just as insincere.
Just when he thought that Su Yingxue would take the opportunity to make some excessive demands, Su Yingxue stood up and said, âSince Your Highness is here, I will not disturb Your Highness and the Consortâs reunion. I shall take my leave first.â
âMiss Su is leaving now?â Princess Shu Li was somewhat surprised.
She pondered in her heart that Su Yingxue treated her so affectionately and tenderly, surely she wanted to seek her favor, speak well of her in front of Chu Yihan, or perhaps to bring them together.
But Chu Yihan had only just arrived, and she was already leaving.
This didnât quite fit her character.
âThere are still patients waiting for me at the clinic, and I only asked for two hours off, I now need to go back and get busy,â Su Yingxue said frankly.
She was dressed in a red robe, her hair neatly tied up, looking particularly refreshing, and her voice also crisp, bringing a sense of clarity to those who saw her.
Princess Shu Li did not keep her for long, but she instructed Chu Yihan to escort Su Yingxue.
Chu Yihanâs expression showed a hint of reluctance, but Princess Shu Li patted his hand, âThis is not the courtesy of the royal family, Miss Su has been very devoted to me.â
Chu Yihan nodded, âYour son understands.â
He rose to see Su Yingxue out.
Su Yingxue seemed to know she would come out and was standing in the palace courtyard waiting for him.
She was more radiant than peach blossoms, standing under a peach tree, looking exceptionally charming.
Chu Yihan walked up to her, his eyes slightly narrowed, âWhat do you want this time?â
âCan one always get what they wish for?â Su Yingxue playfully countered.
âNo.
âYour Highness, hold my hand,â
Su Yingxue, straightforward and direct, reached out her hand to him.
In Chu Yihanâs eyes, a trace of coldness appeared.
Clearly, he was still resistant.
But this time, Su Yingxue took the initiative and gently held his hand.
She was just simply holding his hand, her eyes free of ulterior motives or any annoying clinginess.
Her eyes were as clear as mountain springs.
Chu Yihan involuntarily did not shake her off.
Su Yingxue appeared to be somewhat distracted as she looked at their clasped hands, softly laughing, âAfter I woke up, I didnât remember anything, as if everything had changed. Although people around me cared for me, they were all cold⊠only Your Highness, you were warm.â
The only person who could make her feel warmth was Chu Yihan.
She did not remember why, before, she was crazily chasing after Chu Yihan, determined to have him.
But now, she knew why she was persistent about him.
She was enamored with the warmth from him.
Just as she thought about letting go, Chu Yihan gripped her hand a bit tighter.
Startled, Su Yingxue looked up at him, âYour Highness?â
Chu Yihan looked at her with a complex expression, then let go of her hand, âMy mother thanks you for your concern.â
After saying that, he turned and went back.
Su Yingxue foolishly stared at her own hand, staring at it for a while, âIs he⊠not disliking the touch anymore?â
And he took the initiative to hold her hand?
Was her heart⊠a bit sweet?
That sweetness in Su Yingxueâs heart spread to her lips; she returned to the clinic with a slight smile.
However, just as she was passing by the Marquisâs Manor, she was startled by the commotion at the entrance.
âMiss, what happened to our Marquisâs Manor? Why are there so many people coming in and out, all in such a hurry?â Zhilan muttered beside Su Yingxue.
