The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 884: 882 He Ran Away
Chapter 884 -882 He Ran Away
Now, even if he wanted to show affection for Su Yingxue, he felt it was too late!
“Yes, Mother! You kept this from me too. You have no idea, I thought Yingxue was harmed by my hand, I nearly died of shame, wanting to take my own life to see my sister! If she knew from the underworld that Yingxue nearly suffered due to my misunderstanding, how could I face being her sister!”
Qin Ge also expressed some complaints.
The Empress Dowager heaved a sigh, and Su Yingxue quickly comforted her, “Cousin and auntie, if you want to blame someone, blame me. It was my idea. When Grandmother came to see me, she already knew my identity. I asked her not to tell. The purpose was to see what Mu Fei was truly after. He is truly too strange.”
Qin Muyan added, “Yes, Mu Fei is a man of the Ghost Market, yet he’s profoundly knowledgeable about the affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty. There weren’t many privy to the inside story of Little Auntie’s disappearance back then, and his knowledge about Yingxue’s identity and finding the Blue Scale Jade—he’s no simple character. I intended to rid the Great Wei Dynasty of this cancer, so I had no choice but to keep it a secret from Mother and Imperial Brother for a time, and ask the imperial grandmother to act in a play with us.”
“You two? You and Yingxue, you really do make a good team! Your knees must be swollen from all the kneeling!”
Qin Ge teased Qin Muyan, causing Su Yingxue to notice his legs.
To lure Shen Yu and Mu Fei into his trap, Qin Muyan truly knelt outside Funing Palace for two days and nights without food or water.
It was only because he had practiced martial arts from a young age and had a strong physical foundation that he felt alright.
Seeing Qin Muyan’s complexion was still somewhat pale, Su Yingxue gave him a pill, “I made this, it’s a medicine that benefits qi and enriches blood. Cousin, please take it first.”
Her address of ‘cousin’ stirred something deep within Qin Muyan’s heart. His handsome brows and eyes relaxed slightly, “Okay.”
He took it without hesitation, as if even if Su Yingxue’s offering had been poison, he would have consumed it like candy.
Su Yingxue also took out several precious vials of golden wound medicine and handed them to Nurse Fu, instructing her to apply it to Qin Muyan’s legs.
Seeing her so courteous, Qin Ge couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle lightly, “Now that you have recognized kinship, Yingxue, you need not be so formal. Mu Yan is your cousin; even if you were to apply the medicine to him yourself, he wouldn’t resist!”
Qin Muyan’s ears reddened, and he put on a stern face, “Mother, do not spout nonsense!”
“Mother is simply stating the truth,” Qin Ge smiled slightly.
Even Qin Rulie laughed heartily, “Auntie is definitely not wrong; you and your cousin were originally betrothed!”
“Cousin, Auntie, I’m sorry! This marriage contract, I’m afraid I cannot fulfill. I am already wed to the Ninth Prince, my husband is Chu Yihan, so… cousin can only be cousin,” Su Yingxue said gently, yet her message was clear.
She could be Qin Muyan’s kin, but she could not be his wife.
With her words, Qin Rulie and Qin Ge found themselves in a somewhat awkward position, and Qin Muyan’s expression also subtly darkened.
He mocked himself internally; indeed, no matter the circumstances, her heart held only her husband, her Chu Yihan.
“Alright, let’s focus on the serious matters for now. Has that Mu Fei been caught? Has Shen Yu been interrogated? Just how did she collude with Mu Fei? I must get to the bottom of this!”
From the bed, the heavy and aged voice of the Empress Dowager urged them.
Qin Rulie immediately ordered someone to report on the efforts to capture Mu Fei.
Wei Juefeng returned in a rush, kneeling on one knee, “Reporting to the emperor and Your Highness, Mu Fei… he has a secret passage, and he escaped!”
