The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1115: Chapter 1112: Su Hao’s Great Victory

“`

“Ow.”

Shan Bao brought back the little monster’s rattle drum, tossing it onto the small bed. The little monster, frightened by Su Yingxue, was in a daze until it saw Shan Bao, which gave it a sense of security.

Then it was happy.

It grinned at Shan Bao in an adorable way.

Shan Bao nuzzled it with his head. Human infants, truly are miraculous creatures.

They cannot speak, yet their little mouths babble all day long, always making one want to tease them.

Seeing that Su Yingxue had no intention of coaxing the child, Shan Bao sat in front of the little monster’s bed to watch over him, watching him laugh foolishly, then fall asleep just as foolishly.

In Su Yingxue’s palace, the sound of things being smashed continued for half a day.

Sun Wu listened to all these noises attentively.

After dealing with government affairs, Chu Yihan went to Leng Shuqing’s palace.

This chamber, the Xiande Palace, was also prepared by Su Yingxue.

God knows what she was thinking.

The arrival of Chu Yihan made the Xiande Palace glorious, with Leng Shuqing and her entourage of palace maids exuding great presence.

In this palace where one must read the moods of others, the emperor’s favor determined one’s status and the level of treatment received.

Among the five concubines, Chu Yihan only bestowed his favor on Leng Shuqing. In the future, Leng Shuqing would surely have an extraordinary status, comparable to the empress’s.

Leng Shuqing also knew this was special favor from Chu Yihan, so when she greeted him, her voice was exceptionally tender, shy, and nervous.

“Your concubine pays respects to the emperor, may the emperor be safe and well.”

She had thought that Chu Yihan would help her up, and even though he was always cold and lofty, he would greet her gently.

But he just coldly hummed a response and then stepped into the great hall.

Leng Shuqing suddenly felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over her.

She told herself that she had expected too much, Chu Yihan was like this with everyone, and that him giving her a response was already him treating her kindly.

So, she quickly got up and went to Chu Yihan’s side to serve.

She asked Chu Yihan if he had had his evening meal, and Chu Yihan said he had.

She tried to converse with him more, but although he responded, he never said more than three words each time.

His tone was cold and indifferent.

When Chu Yihan came, he brought with him a memorial to read. He sat down to look at it and did not care what Leng Shuqing was doing.

Leng Shuqing poured tea and water for him, attending to him closely, but whenever she neared, she could feel the sharp and imposing aura from Chu Yihan.

She could only stand a bit further away from him and attend there.

Chu Yihan sat there and read memorials for half an hour, then stood up and told Leng Shuqing, “Today, you’ve entered the palace; rest well and familiarize yourself with the palace environment. I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”

Leng Shuqing heard him say so many words for the first time, but he was about to leave.

Leng Shuqing felt a sense of panic, “Emperor… won’t you stay the night?”

Wasn’t it said he would have her serve in his bedchamber?

She had prepared everything: the bathtub filled with warm water, the fragrant and soft bedding, and her…

Why had Chu Yihan not even given her a second glance?

Chu Yihan said, “No,” and then strode away.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He treated her as a stranger, cold and detached.

He did not consider her his woman at all.

Watching his retreating figure, Leng Shuqing felt her heart plummet, and she fell to the ground, pale-faced.

Why…

…would this happen?

Sun Wu was waiting outside for Chu Yihan, reporting to him, “Emperor, the empress was informed that you were going to invest Consort Shu with honor. She smashed the Crown Prince’s rattle drum and a whole set of teacups.”

“`

Chu Yihan’s tense expression slightly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, “Let’s go, to her palace.”

He quickened his steps and headed to Su Yingxue’s palace.

After getting the little monster to sleep, Su Yingxue was propped up on the table, unable to vent the anger seething within her, incessantly cursing under her breath, “Chu Yihan, you bastard! Bastard! Bastard!”

“What is the empress saying?”

Chu Yihan walked in with a smile in his eyes.

The colder he was at Leng Shuqing’s place, the warmer he was here with Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue replied unhappily, “Has the emperor gone to the wrong place? This is Fengming Palace, not Xiande Palace.”

“In my imperial city, where can I not go? But as for the empress, I smell a hint of sourness.”

Chu Yihan laughed and went to embrace her waist, but Su Yingxue, annoyed, slapped his hand away, “Get off, don’t touch me! You’re filthy from touching other women!”

“I did not.”

Chu Yihan spread his hands in front of Su Yingxue, “Look, there isn’t a trace of another’s scent on me.”

These hands, they were only meant to hold her.

As he spoke, he moved to embrace Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue naturally found herself caught in his embrace, that long-missed hug, truly addicting.

His strong masculine scent enveloped her, and Su Yingxue greedily savored the aroma on him, certain that this man still belonged to her, untouched by any other woman.

“Su Yingxue, I’ve said that in this life, I only love you,” Chu Yihan’s breath spilled over her ear, scorching her heart with heat.

She believed, always believed.

“Then can you tell me what else you care about?”

Su Yingxue raised her head, her bright and charming face inquisitive.

Chu Yihan took a deep breath, “There’s no need to care about it.”

Some things, if they can’t be resolved, then you shouldn’t try to resolve them.

Su Yingxue felt dejected, “So I’m still not qualified to know, how long exactly are you planning to hide it from me?”

“Why must you probe to the end? Su Yingxue, where have I wronged you? You are my wife, have borne my children, have it all. Why must you insist on tearing open my heart and probing, what will it take for you to be satisfied?” Chu Yihan’s voice was chillingly stern.

If she didn’t understand, then she should never understand in this lifetime!

Yet she did not understand, still insisting he speak it out. Must she trouble him like this?

“I’m done asking,” Su Yingxue shook her head repeatedly, closing her eyes. She couldn’t keep probing the unknown forever.

Her life couldn’t always be mired in this.

Both she and Chu Yihan tacitly avoided mentioning the matter any further.

In their life, it was as if the argument had never happened, selectively forgotten by them.

The little monster was growing day by day, and the days in the palace were passing. Everything seemed mundane, but the daily life of the family of three, Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan, was always so interesting.

Until the eve of the little monster’s first birthday, news of a grand victory arrived.

“To report… to report to the emperor, Marshal Su Hao has breached the capital city of Qi State, the Emperor of Qi has surrendered, the entirety of Qi State has sworn allegiance to our Great Cheng Dynasty! The battle, we’ve won!”

The soldier who came to report knelt in the Hall of Diligent Government, obviously too overwhelmed, and after speaking, he broke into tears.

It was evident, this campaign that lasted nearly two years, was exceptionally hard-fought.

Chu Yihan’s face lit up with joy, “Good! Su Hao has fought a splendid battle for our Great Cheng Dynasty! Summon him back to the court, I want to reward him for his merits!”

“Yes!”

Zhuo Junli, leading the civil and military officials, knelt and offered congratulations, “Congratulations to the emperor, Qi State has surrendered. The Great Cheng Dynasty will surely unite the world!”

“Congratulations to the emperor! May the Great Cheng Dynasty prosper for tens of thousands of generations!”

“Congratulations to the emperor!”
