The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince! Chapter 1452: 1447: Does Xiao Yu have an Accomplice?

Chapter 1452: Chapter 1447: Does Xiao Yu have an Accomplice?

But he just couldn’t figure out how a certain Lady Lan had suddenly erged.

The emperor was actually willing to use her dicine? And he wasn’t allowed to tell the empress?

Although the hospital director was utterly baffled, he still fulfilled his duty. When he had inspected the dicine earlier, he also took a sniff. After he returned, he noted down all the scents of the dicine he had detected.

Sun Wu had seen Lady Lan off and also quietly brought back so rewards Chu Yihan had given her, ensuring nobody discovered her.

As soone in charge of the inner palace affairs for Chu Yihan, he logically shouldn’t be doing such sneaky things. But Chu Yihan had his reasons. Serving Chu Yihan upon his return, he sighed softly, “The emperor didn’t need to use Lady Lan’s dicine, except he saw that after Lan Ling’s death, the Lan family was ruined, leaving Lady Lan as the sole surviving lineage. He intended to help her restore the Lan family’s glory.”

“Lan Qier is different from other won; she is the legitimate younger sister of Lan Ling. She is proficient in literature, martial arts, and also resolute. When I establish an academy for won, allowing them to enter the court as officials, I will need such outstanding individuals like her. With Lan Ling murdered and the loyal Lan family exterminated, the Chu Imperial family owes the Lan family.”

Chu Yihan murmured softly.

Originally, when choosing Lan Qier to enter the palace as a concubine and granting her the title of Lady, he had considered the Lan family.

The Lan family had been loyal to the Chu royal lineage for generations. With their entire clan destroyed under Chu Mingyuan’s hand, he could not disregard the loyalty of this family of subjects.

Now that he was using Lady Lan’s dicine and his health was recovering, he could rightfully bestow a favor upon Lady Lan. In ti, he would use her as a model for won across the land to enter schools and seek advancent for themselves.

This was what Princess Shu Li had originally hoped for and also what Su Yingxue most wanted to see.

Every ti he recalled Su Yingxue leaning in his embrace, laughing sweetly and adorably, his heart would unconsciously soften.

With the realm within his grasp, yet all he yearned for was to please her.

Early in the morning, Su Yingxue sent Chu Heng off to the Eastern Palace for his studies, then headed to the imperial study. Calculating the hours, Chu Yihan should have concluded the morning court and would be discussing affairs with the court officials in the imperial study. She had made so snacks and decided to take them to see him.

And she guessed that the matters Chu Yihan was discussing today must surely be related to Xiao Yu. Perhaps her brother was also there, and she could inquire about Miaoyan’s situation.

She waited outside the imperial study.

Though Chu Yihan doted on her, she wouldn’t disregard etiquette by bursting in during the court officials’ eting.

It wasn’t until several court officials ca out and paid their respects to her that she spotted Zhuo Junli coming out and called out, “Lord Zhuo.”

Zhuo Junli approached her and perford a deep bow. “This humble official was inattentive and failed to salute Your Highness. Please forgive .”

“When have you ever been so formal, Lord Zhuo?” Su Yingxue teased him.

Zhuo Junli’s mouth was known for its fearless gibberish in front of Chu Yihan, and now he was so proper in front of her.

She wasn’t used to it.

“The Leng family is in a precarious situation, and I no longer have the luxury to be informal,” Zhuo Junli said with a laugh that lacked sincerity.

Alright!

This was still Lord Zhuo’s style, as Su Yingxue had co to know.

Recently, she had been too busy to visit Leng Muling, so she entrusted Zhuo Junli to pass on her regards and also gave him so nourishing gifts to take back to Leng Muling.

Zhuo Junli expressed his thanks, and before leaving, he subtly hinted to Su Yingxue, “The emperor has quite a headache today. Matters concerning the Xiao family affect the nation’s economy. It would be best for Your Highness to rest, rather than wasting hours here.”

Su Yingxue pursed her lips, contemplating.

It was indeed because of Xiao Yu!

Waiting here really served no great purpose, so Su Yingxue went back to join Chu Heng for a midday al, then she simred a pot of soup and prepared additional dishes, waiting for news from the imperial study before taking lunch over.

Inside the imperial study, Chu Yihan only kept Su Hao for a private conversation.

Neither of them had eaten, and when they slled the delicious aroma of the chicken soup Su Yingxue brought, Chu Yihan felt hungry.

“Please, take a seat,” Chu Yihan invited Su Hao to sit.

Sun Wu served them, smiling at Su Hao, “It’s ti for the noon al. General Su need not be so formal now.”

Chu Yihan had already inford Su Yingxue to bring over the soup, so he could share a al with Su Hao.

After kneeling to pay his respects, Su Hao sat down and enjoyed the soup with Chu Yihan.

Su Yingxue’s culinary skills truly had improved a great deal.

“I’ve only just realized that my sister, apart from being exceptionally skilled in dicine, possesses such remarkable culinary talent,” Su Hao said with a light laugh.

Su Yingxue served Chu Yihan so soup and then turned to stomp her foot at Su Hao, “Brother, are you making fun of ? So what if I couldn’t cook at the Marquis’s Manor?”

Wasn’t her dical prowess rare enough; did she also need to excel in cooking?

“I dare not jest. It’s just that, tasting my wife’s cooking offers a very distinct contrast,” Su Hao teased her.

“Brother! Am I no longer your sister because I’m married off? You used to dote on so much. Everything I did was good in your eyes, and you always protected ! How can you dislike the soup I’ve made, saying it’s not as delicious as my sister-in-law’s?” Su Yingxue wasn’t satisfied and stomped in tiny steps up to Su Hao, as if she wouldn’t rest until he complinted her.

“When did I say that the soup you made wasn’t as good as Jinyan’s skills?” Su Hao put down his soup bowl, instinctively reaching out to rub Su Yingxue’s head.

His gaze t Chu Yihan’s and he quickly withdrew his hand, whispering, “I was rely marvelling at how much the empress has changed for the better from before. It’s a good thing.”

“Really?” Su Yingxue was skeptical.

“Truly,” Su Hao spoke gently, his eyes filled with affection.

It seed like a long ti since he could look at her with such affection, so he watched Su Yingxue for a bit longer.

But considering her status, he inevitably looked away soon after, quickly retracting his gaze.

Su Yingxue smiled with satisfaction; her brother still doted on her. She turned back to face Chu Yihan, her eyes filled with pride, “My brother says it’s delicious. Surely, hubby, you won’t say it’s not, right?”

Chu Yihan drank another two bowls, finishing the al completely, confirming his approval with his actions, “The empress’s culinary skills are very much to my liking.”

“That’s wonderful!” Su Yingxue used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, unfazed by Su Hao’s presence, their affectionate deanor naturally revealed.

Su Hao watched, and he too was pleased.

However, he rembered seeing Lan concubine leave from here before he arrived, which raised so doubts in his mind.

“Su Hao, regarding Xiao Yu, I’m still entrusting you with his watch. Force him to confess and see if any accomplices co to his aid,” Chu Yihan instructed indifferently after the evening al.

Su Hao accepted the order, “I will obey the edict.”

As Su Yingxue was packing up the food box, she paused, “Xiao Yu, he still has accomplices?”

This matter was actually this complex?

“In the village that Xiao Yu destroyed, there were so unusual traces, and it seems that sister and brother Zhang Daying saw soone from outside the village. But now, they have all been silenced by Xiao Yu,” Chu Yihan held Su Yingxue’s hand, his look turning grave.
