Chapter 717: I’m Responsible for Him

Only when facing Su Han could Su Yingxue express her thoughts so frankly and act coquettishly.
Su Han gently patted her head and said, “Okay, I’ll handle this. You stay with Ninth Prince. I won’t let anyone disturb you anymore.”
After Su Yingxue finished her playful banter with Su Han, Su Han went to the front hall.
Despite Su Han’s unpleasant past experiences, she was still a capable stewardess.
With her presence in the front hall, Su Yingxue returned to the medicine hut feeling at ease.
Chu Yihan lay on the soft couch, the strong scent of blood and medicine on his body was heart-wrenching no matter how one smelled it.
Su Yingxue brought over the medicine. When Chu Yihan tried to sit up to drink it, Su Yingxue gently pushed him backdown. “Stay down. Don’t move!”
Chu Yihan chuckled softly. “Yes, Princess Consort.”
Though he was seriously injured, he couldn’t resist teasing Su Yingxue.
Under the glow of the luminous pearl, Su Yingxue’s charming face became even more radiant. She pouted, her heart aching. “You’re so badly injured, yet you refuse to stop for me to take care of you before entering the palace.”
Chu Yihan knew he could treat his injuries later, but he had to seize the moment to deal a fatal blow to Chu Mingyuan. That was why he insisted on going.
Seeing Su Yingxue’s worried expression, Chu Yihan pinched her tender face. “I’ll try not to get hurt in the future.”
“What do you mean ‘try’! You’re not allowed! If you get injured again, especially this badly, I won’t be your doctor anymore. I’ll let someone else treat you. You will get pain!”
As Su Yingxue vented her frustration, she gently fed Chu Yihan the medicine.
She couldn’t help but feel frightened when she saw the arrow and veins on Chu Yihan’s leg frozen together. If she didn’t know how to perform surgery, Chu Yihan might have lost his leg!
Chu Yihan pursed his lips. He probably couldn’t promise Su Yingxue that.
The country was still unstable, and hidden dangers lurked everywhere. It was impossible for him not to get injured while guarding the country.
The only promise he could give Su Yingxue was, “I’ll do my best.”
Su Yingxue sighed heavily. She had no choice but to focus on her medical research. Even if Chu Yihan were to face death in the future, she would bring him back.
“Who is it?”
Chu Yihan’s sharp senses detected the presence of strangers outside the door, more than one.
Su Yingxue tilted her head and patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry. It’s probably Zi Wei. He’s back and will protect me.”
“Oh.” Chu Yihan’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.
He didn’t like another man protecting Su Yingxue. He believed he could protect Su Yingxue alone.
“Your Highness is unhappy?” Su Yingxue brushed the hair from his temples, her eyes gradually becoming infatuated.
She couldn’t get enough of this handsome man no matter how much she looked at him.
The more she looked, the more infatuated she became!
Chu Yihan hummed in agreement. “I can protect you very well.”
“It’s different. I have a responsibility to Zi Wei. If I hadn’t tricked him out of hiding at the Silver Moon Pavilion, I wouldn’t have been able to keep mother’s letter. But since I did, I have to treat him well. He saved my life so many times, so I owe him. I have to help him return to a normal life.”
Su Yingxue’s words sounded a bit naive. The corners of Chu Yihan’s mouth curled up slightly. “You can cure his poison, but returning to a normal life might not be possible.”
It was impossible for someone accustomed to killing and bloodshed to put down the knife and live a peaceful life.
It was as difficult as reshaping one’s entire life.
