Chapter 1058: Chapter 1056: Release My Family and I Will Take the Medicine
The harem is so boring, she still needs to find some stories to listen to, to enrich her own spiritual world.
Otherwise, you age quickly.
“Your Highness, the Eldest Young Master has entered the palace,” said Granny Song beside Noble Consort Xiao’s ear, “He would like to invite you to see how the people from the Marquis’s Manor are doing?”
A deep meaning flashed in the eyes of Noble Consort Xiao, “Does he want to see the people from the Marquis’s Manor, or does he want to see that young girl?”
Granny Song laughed after hearing this, “Your Highness knows it like the back of your hand. The Eldest Young Master of the Xiao family seldom cares about someone so much.”
“That’s true; lovesick fools have all run into each other. Our Xiao family’s next generation is all alike in destiny.”
Noble Consort Xiao glanced at Chu Jinling and shook her head secretly.
Chu Jinling pretended not to understand what she meant and ate her food obediently.
“Well, Ling’er, after you finish eating, go to see your imperial uncle and help out the people from the Marquis’s Manor. It will also calm your cousin’s heart.”
Noble Consort Xiao languidly stood up, picked up a book, and leaned over to the chaise lounge to read.
Chu Jinling was very happy to take on this task. “Alright, mother, I’ll go now! I will come back and write everything I see into a storybook, just for Your Highness’s eyes only!”
“You, with your sweet little mouth.”
Happiness filled Noble Consort Xiao’s eyes.
The greatest fortune of her life was giving birth to such an obedient son as Chu Jinling.
Seeing him so happy now, she didn’t want to interfere much with him and Lin Sisi’s affair.
It was best to let him be happy.
As soon as Chu Jinling stepped out, she saw Xiao Yu waiting outside the palace gate. She walked towards him and teased, “Cousin, you really are anxious for the young girl from the Marquis’s Manor!”
Xiao Yu’s handsome face was tight, and his naturally pale skin made him look cold and imposing. “I have business that needs discussing with the empress, that’s all.”
Watching him looking straight ahead, Chu Jinling almost believed him!
But she just smiled and didn’t expose him; her cousin, such a tall, cold male god, unlike her Ninth Imperial Uncle, was someone who would keep his affections deep in his heart, hidden from view.
The situation in Chu Yihan’s chamber was not at all optimistic.
Su Yingxue had awoken, but when it was time to take her medicine, upon hearing that her family had kneeled outside all night, she immediately wanted to go out and tell them to get up.
Chu Yihan pulled her back to bed, “Take the medicine first, or don’t even think about going anywhere!”
“Emperor! My grandfather is still kneeling outside, he is so old, how can you have the heart to let him kneel all night!” Su Yingxue was extremely distressed!
Her fainting was not anyone else’s fault to begin with!
How could she allow her family to be punished like that?
“Su Qingzhi did not take good care of the empress, leading to her fainting; that is his fault! Now that you are fine it is one thing, but if something had happened to you, any punishment for the Marquis’s Manor would not be too severe!” Chu Yihan’s face was ashen, his expression grim, and his obsidian-like eyes were bloodshot. The pressure he exuded was intense and terrifying.
Su Yingxue rarely saw him so fearsome, gloomy, and violent, as if he could let the blood of the Marquis’s Manor splatter the court any moment!
She lowered her head, stammering, “Please let my grandfather and the others stand! It’s all my fault, can you stop punishing them?”
“I’ve said it, take the medicine first, eat something, recuperate, then we can talk about other things! Don’t negotiate with me!” Chu Yihan also had stood vigil all night, and her disobedience upon waking up made his anger flare even more!
“I won’t! Let my grandfather go, or… or I won’t take the medicine!”
Su Yingxue’s hands clutched the bright yellow bedsheets, looking at the towering man in front, her palms sweating with tension.
