Chu Yihan’s face, as exquisite as a fairy, remained serious. “As the guardian, do you think I would do anything to your Miss?”
Zhilan lowered her head, trembling. “I dare not, Your Highness.”
She stepped aside and watched as Chu Yihan entered the room. She inwardly sighed, “Miss, I have done my best.”
She couldn’t stop him.
From the window, Su Yingxue heard Chu Yihan’s footsteps approaching and quickly spoke up, “Your Highness, please don’t come in. I’m changing my clothes!”
Chu Yihan’s gaze deepened. Did this little girl intentionally say that for him to hear?
He stood in front of the screen, watching as her graceful figure was depicted by the jade screen. Suddenly, an impulse surged within him to enter the room.
Moreover, he sensed the presence of another person behind the screen.
Chu Yihan swiftly circled around to the back of the screen, and Su Yingxue immediately jumped out to block his line of sight. “Your Highness, is this how you guard someone? You even want to see my body?”
Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow and playfully pinched her nose. “Hmm, I do.”
Su Yingxue’s face turned beet red, and Chu Yihan’s bluntness was beyond ordinary.
Couldn’t he be a bit more reserved?
His intentions were so obvious!
To conceal the person behind her, she pushed Chu Yihan out first. “Your Highness, please wait outside.”
Chu Yihan turned around as if he was about to leave. However, when Su Yingxue wasn’t paying attention, he swiftly turned back and slipped into the room. His sharp gaze swept across Su Yingxue’s bed, but he found no signs of anyone hiding. However, his instincts told him otherwise.
“Docs Your Highness really see me as a criminal?” Su Yingxue’s gaze turned cold.
Chu Yihan returned to her side and led her out. “I’m just afraid that there may be someone with ill intentions lurking around you.”
That person emitted a bloodthirsty aura.
He was worried it would pose a threat to Su Yingxue.
“I don’t have a habit of hiding people in my room,” Su Yingxue huffed.
“I have only hidden you.” Chu Yihan affectionately rubbed her nose.
The coldness in Su Yingxue’s eyes subsided slightly. “Thank you, Your Highness, for today, but I don’t like being constantly guarded.”
“I understand. The purpose of guarding is to protect you. With I am here, anyone with malicious intent won’t dare to lay a hand on you.” Chu Yihan gazed at her with a gentle expression.
Su Yingxue felt a sense of unease. Chu Yihan’s tense relationship with the emperor could affect her investigation into her mother’s death within the palace. Her sole purpose in this life was revenge, and she had no time for romance.
She released Chu Yihan’s hand. “Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness. There’s nothing I can do to repay you. Have you taken the medicine I gave you last time?”
Chu Yihan smiled. “Yes, I drank it. It indeed helped heal my old injuries.”
“In that case, I’ll prepare another prescription for you, Your Highness. If you take it for some time, your recovery will be even faster.” Su Yingxue asked Chu Yihan to wait in the room for a while as she went in and out of the Medicine King’s Valley. After gathering some rare medicinal herbs, she prepared the medicine and handed it to him.
Chu Yihan held the medicine packet in his hand. “Is this your way of showing your concern for me? I accept it.”
Su Yingxue had always thought her skin was fair, but whenever Chu Yihan spoke, she would easily blush.
She nodded quietly. “Consider it as such.”
Chu Yihan received her kindness and left, satisfied.
Mo Qi looked at the medicine in Chu Yihan’s hand and sighed, “Master, it’s rare to see a girl delivering medicine to you!”
