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, “Imperial Uncle.”

Chu Yihan nodded slightly, “The matter has been investigated clearly. The incident yesterday was spread by Song Chengyi, who is no longer at Su Yingxue’s clinic.”

Chu Xiaotian was not surprised at all, “Song Chengyi has ill intentions! Originally, he was just a minor deputy general, dreaming of reaching above his station to court Han’er! After I married Han’er, he continuously stirred her emotions. Such a sinister man does not deserve Han’er’s thoughts!”

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, “Imperial 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 Han’er and Song Chengyi, eventually… I might not be able to keep Han’er.”

In his eyes, there was a man’s helplessness visible.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t keep his wife’s 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, “You want Your Highness to persuade Su Yingxue to stop interfering in this matter?”

“Your 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.”

Chu Xiaotian’s tone was extremely heavy.

Chu Yihan did not agree to help him. He would not actively seek out Su Yingxue for Chu Xiaotian’s 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.

“Miss Su truly has a skilled and benevolent touch. Her Highness has sweated profusely, and now feels much refreshed and no longer dizzy,” 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 Yingxue’s delicate face, making her more captivating than the flowers, her almond eyes twinkling like stars, exuding a beauty that delightfully lifted one’s spirit.

His Imperial Brother once praised Su Yingxue as the greatest beauty of the Great Cheng Dynasty.

Indeed, she lives up to her reputation.

“Yihan, you’re here!”

Shu Consort called out to Chu Yihan.

Chu Yihan approached to pay his respects, “Mother.”

“Her Highness knows of your filial piety, you come to visit Her Highness every day,” 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.

“What are you doing here?” In front of his own mother, Chu Yihan didn’t 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 mistress’s effort was!

Su Yingxue spoke softly, “The 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.”

Shu Consort laughed in agreement, “Yes, 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.”

Chu Yihan’s 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, “Since Your Highness is here, I will not disturb Your Highness and the Consort’s reunion. I shall take my leave first.”

“Miss Su is leaving now?” 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 didn’t quite fit her character.

“There 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,” 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 Yihan’s expression showed a hint of reluctance, but Princess Shu Li patted his hand, “This is not the courtesy of the royal family, Miss Su has been very devoted to me.”

Chu Yihan nodded, “Your son understands.”

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, “What do you want this time?”

“Can one always get what they wish for?” Su Yingxue playfully countered.

“No.

“Your Highness, hold my hand,”

Su Yingxue, straightforward and direct, reached out her hand to him.

In Chu Yihan’s 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, “After I woke up, I didn’t remember anything, as if everything had changed. Although people around me cared for me, they were all cold… only Your Highness, you were warm.”

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, “Your Highness?”

Chu Yihan looked at her with a complex expression, then let go of her hand, “My mother thanks you for your concern.”

After saying that, he turned and went back.

Su Yingxue foolishly stared at her own hand, staring at it for a while, “Is he… not disliking the touch anymore?”

And he took the initiative to hold her hand?

Was her heart… a bit sweet?

That sweetness in Su Yingxue’s heart spread to her lips; she returned to the clinic with a slight smile.

However, just as she was passing by the Marquis’s Manor, she was startled by the commotion at the entrance.

“Miss, what happened to our Marquis’s Manor? Why are there so many people coming in and out, all in such a hurry?” Zhilan muttered beside Su Yingxue.
