Chapter 1659 - 1652: Ruin Chu Xi

Chapter 1659 -1652: Ruin Chu Xi

She remembered her daddy once said that the people of the Silver Moon Pavilion had all died once, twice—many times over.

The thing they feared least was death, so whenever they were sent out, they would risk their lives to complete the mission—ruthless and crazed.

Su Chenyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, holding Chu Xi tightly, his eyes bright and resolute. “Since the princess is willing to go with them, then I will accompany you, Chu Xi.”

Wherever she went, he would accompany his princess.

When Chu Xi opened her eyes and met Su Chenyang’s gaze, her eyes were filled with bewilderment and confusion.

Was he really willing to stay by her side forever?

Seeing the inseparable bond between these two children, Ah Hong decided to take them both along.

But Su Chenyang was the son of Su Hao and the direct nephew of Su Yingxue. This made Ah Hong feel particularly troubled.

As the people of the Silver Moon Pavilion retreated, Wu Jinyan hurriedly ran to Su Hao’s side. “Husband, are you alright?”

Su Hao had been hit by a disorienting drug and saw multiple overlapping visions before him.

He steadied himself on Wu Jinyan and, with some difficulty, said, “I’m fine. Go and have someone fetch the medicine Yingxue left behind.”

He needed to clear his vision first.

Wu Jinyan immediately instructed someone to get the medicine.

But just as Su Hao applied the medicine to his eyes, a servant rushed in and knelt down in tears. “It’s terrible! The young master is gone! He and Princess Xi have both been taken by the people of the Silver Moon Pavilion!”

“What?!” Wu Jinyan’s vision went black, and she nearly fainted.

Her son!

How could her son have been taken by the Silver Moon Pavilion!

“Jinyan!”

Su Hao caught Wu Jinyan and sent her back to her room.

Gripping Wu Jinyan’s hand, he hurriedly said, “Don’t worry. Stay home and take care of our daughter. I’m heading to the palace to ask Prince Ling to lead soldiers with me to find Prince Eight. We will certainly bring Chenyang back!”

Tears streamed down Wu Jinyan’s face as she clung tightly to Su Hao’s hand. “Husband, please be careful! Bring Chenyang back safely—he… he’s still injured!”

“I will. Don’t be afraid!”

Su Hao placed a kiss on Wu Jinyan’s forehead before riding off swiftly to the palace.

Zuo Residence.

The entire Zuo family was sleepless due to Zuo Fenglin’s severe injuries.

The court physician had diagnosed that Zuo Fenglin’s meridians had been damaged by two needles, rendering him incapable of being a man in the future. Madame Xu immediately fainted from crying.

Madame Jiang, wailing and heartbroken in the courtyard, cursed Chu Xi viciously with vulgar, filthy words that were utterly unbearable.

Zuo Qingqing and Chu Yifeng returned. Initially, Zuo Qingqing felt sorry for her nephew, but her mother’s undignified tantrum made her feel humiliated in front of Chu Yifeng.

Seeing her biting her lip incessantly, Chu Yifeng pinched her delicate and exquisite chin. “Don’t bite. It pains me just to watch.”

Zuo Qingqing’s eyes brimmed with tears at once. “Your Highness, I am merely worried. My mother is too distraught over Fenglin, which is why her words became so unruly.”

Chu Yifeng smirked. “What’s there to worry about? Even you, in front of me, don’t need to hold back. Say whatever you wish, curse whoever you want. If anyone dares provoke you, it’s their fault.”

He took her handkerchief and gently wiped the tears from her eyes, bit by bit.

Zuo Qingqing’s heart swelled with emotion. These days, she had been testing how far Chu Yifeng’s affection for someone could go, probing his boundaries.

Yet the more she tested, the more she realized—

He loved someone with unreasonable devotion, doted on someone without any limits!

No matter what she said or did, he would comfort her, pamper her, and treasure her as if she were his very heart and soul.

How precious!

He even said that as long as she was happy, even if it cost him his life, he would gladly place it in her hands!

What kind of passionate love was this!

Zuo Qingqing was unbearably jealous.

She envied Rong Sheng. What virtue, what ability, did Rong Sheng possibly have to make Chu Yifeng love her with such madness!

“Master, the people have arrived.”

Ah Hong’s voice broke her out of her reverie.

Zuo Qingqing came back to her senses and fixed her gaze on Chu Xi.

A cold glint streaked through her eyes—this little wretch!

Looking identical to Rong Sheng, even being brought here as a captive, she still carried herself with an air of aloof nobility, as if untouched by the vulgar world.

Just looking at her made Zuo Qingqing want to crush her into dust!

“And who is this?” Chu Yifeng’s attention fell on Su Chenyang. “I didn’t order you to bring two children!”

He was only here to settle accounts with Chu Xi!

“Master, this is the young master of the Marquis’s Manor. He refused to leave Princess Xi’s side and insisted on staying with her,” Ah Hong explained.

“Ha! How amusing!” Dressed in white, Chu Yifeng stood with hands on his hips, a dangerous smirk playing on his lips. “Brat, trying to play the hero to save the beauty? Do you even know your own weight?”

Su Chenyang disregarded the mockery. He continued standing firmly in front of Chu Xi like a towering wall. “Chenyang swore to protect the princess. Even if it means dying for her in times of peril, so be it.”

Zuo Qingqing, with her fair face and soft tone, spoke, “Young master, such boldness. As expected from someone from the Marquis’s Manor. But young master, today Chu Xi committed an atrocious act. Shouldn’t you distinguish right from wrong?”

Chu Xi, upon hearing Zuo Qingqing’s voice, felt a surge of killing intent well up inside her.

This woman deserved to die!

She had deceived her father and stolen the love that belonged to her and her mother!

Su Chenyang faced Zuo Qingqing, his gaze unyielding. “I’ve studied the writings of the sages and naturally understand right from wrong. Today’s events are absolutely not the princess’s fault. Zuo Fenglin acted with malice first. Even if the princess took inappropriate action, he only got what he deserved!

As a ruler and subject, order must be upheld!

The storms of grace and punishment all come from the benevolence of the ruler!

Zuo Fenglin, as the son of a subject, insulted the princess. His crime is punishable by death!

Your Zuo family, instead of repenting, coerces the princess. Such actions add insult to injury and increase your guilt manifold!”

For someone so small of frame, Su Chenyang’s unyielding voice carried a solid and inspiring strength, commanding admiration.

Chu Yifeng raised a brow. This little brat sure had guts.

“Spit! Who’s coercing the princess? She turned my grandson into a little eunuch!”

Madame Jiang stormed out and, without hesitation, slapped Su Chenyang, knocking him to the ground.

“Su Chenyang!”

Chu Xi bent down to help him up.

Su Chenyang, dizzy from the blow, immediately stood up and held onto Chu Xi’s arm, panting heavily. “I’m fine! Princess, your noble status should not stoop down for me.”

“Su Chenyang…”

Chu Xi bit her lip, guilt building up deeper in her heart.

“Your Highness, Fenglin has become like this now. Please, I implore you to seek justice for him,” Zuo Qingqing said, unable to bear Chu Xi’s arrogance, even in captivity, with someone still guarding her!

She wished Chu Yifeng would personally kill this little wretch!

Chu Yifeng held Zuo Qingqing’s hand. “What punishment do you want for her?”

“Your Highness… Fenglin has ended up like this. How can she still stay intact as a proper girl?” Zuo Qingqing cried delicately, her tears overflowing instantly.

Chu Yifeng raised a brow. “So, you want to cripple her, too?”

“Master!”

Ah Hong, who rarely spoke out of turn, felt compelled to intervene at this point. He stood by Chu Yifeng and lowered his voice. “Master, Princess Xi is, after all, your own flesh and blood.”

Chu Yifeng may harm others, but if he hurt her…

Ah Hong didn’t dare to think further.
