Chapter 38....
Chu Yihan’s ability to read people’s minds was especially effective against Su Yingxue.
He patted Su Yingxue’s head. “Don’t worry and do it. With me around, no one will dare to touch you.”
Su Yingxue’s face turned red. She quickly put on her hood again and said uncomfortably, “Thank you, Your Highness!”
“I will remember your thanks and will ask for a gift from you.”
Chu Yihan was very pleased with himself.
He sent Su Yingxue to the medical center. He knew that it was not convenient for her to return to the Marquis’s Manor like this. After she got out of the carriage, he immediately left.
Su Yingxue stood at the entrance of the medical center and was stunned for a while. The temperature in her chest kept rising, and her face was flushed red.
Chu Yihan’s words were still lingering in her mind. “I don’t like the people that you dislike too.”
So, did he like her?
“Impossible!”
Su Yingxue shook her head and quickly threw this thought away.
It was a little scary.
“Miss, you’re finally back. Are you okay?” Manager Qi was still waiting in the center. When he saw Su Yingxue’s flushed face, he quickly showed concern.
Su Yingxue shook her head. “I’m fine. I’ll go change first.”
She went upstairs. She originally wanted to change her clothes and return to the Marquis’s Manor to rest, but after going through the matters in the palace again, she decided to go through her mother’s handwritten letter again.
The medical books and classics left behind by her mother were all stored in a small courtyard behind the medical center. No matter how meager the income of the medical center was over the years, Manager Qi had kept this place well protected and tidied up.
Su Yingxue took out a small box from a hidden corner and unlocked it. She took out the handwritten letter inside. It was already somewhat rolled up, but what was recorded inside was all her mother’s hard work.
Su Yingxue flipped to the page that wrote “Drunken Beauty” and saw that among the herbs needed to make the Drunken Beauty, there was a rare poison called Xijiao.
Just as she was engrossed in reading, Little Ginseng suddenly shouted, “Quickly dodge!”
Su Yingxue dodged as fast as lightning, but a strand of her hair was still cut off.
A thin sharp sword was pointed at her again. It stopped just an inch away from the tip of her nose, and the blade split open a door behind her.
“Boom!”
There was a loud bang.
Under the dim light, Su Yingxue saw a pair of eyes that were different from ordinary people. They were like a ferocious beast that had swallowed the entire night sky. There was a dark purple at the end of his eyes, and killing intent suddenly appeared. They were deep and dark.
Su Yingxue had an accurate feeling that anyone he looked at would definitely die!
Dying under his lightning-fast sword.
However, he did not kill her. Su Yingxue suppressed the fear in her heart and tried her best to remain calm as she asked, “Who are you? What do you want?”
The man’s voice was naturally hoarse. “Silver Moon Pavilion wants the thing in your hand.”
“Silver Moon Pavilion?” A hint of surprise flashed across Su Yingxue’s eyes.
She followed the man to a palace. She didn’t remember the way because she was blindfolded.
The interior of the hall was cold and oppressive. The colors were dark, and most of the decorations were red.
In front of Su Yingxue, there were layers of red gauze curtains. Through these curtains, she saw the outline of a woman.
She had a graceful figure as she sat on the throne. A large red lotus was embroidered at the end of her black gauze dress.
She treated Su Yingxue politely and said gently, “I’m sorry, Miss Su. I invited you to the Silver Moon Pavilion so late at night. It’s because the assassin we sent this time was insensible.”
After saying that, she moved her finger. The man who brought Su Yingxue here, who was also standing behind her, was whipped ruthlessly.
