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

Chapter 929: Chapter 927: Why Not Tell Her?

Su Yingxue slowly got up and, taking advantage of the fact that it wasn’t light out yet, tiptoed over to Chu Yihan and said, “Your Highness, grandpa gave me a task to return to Jiang Du City first. He wants me to see Sister Jinyan and find out what problems have arisen between her and my brother, so I won’t be leaving with the main army.”

Chu Yihan’s hand, holding the teacup, stiffened, followed by a low, “Hmm.”

Hmm?

That was rather cold.

Su Yingxue licked her lips and said, “Then I… will get ready and leave first.”

Chu Yihan still responded with, “Hmm.”

“Your Highness, do you not have anything else to say?” Su Yingxue was starting to feel frustrated.

His constant “hmm-ing” made her think he needed to visit the privy upon waking but was embarrassed to say so in front of her.

Chu Yihan finished his cup of tea, his lips pursed, his expression slightly cool, “Be careful on the way, I have arranged for Mo Qi to protect you.”

Su Yingxue pouted, “Oh.”

What she wanted to hear wasn’t this, but Chu Yihan’s actions were indeed considerate, making it hard for her to pinpoint anything amiss.

How should she bring it up?

“Hey! Su Yingxue, are you leaving or not?”

Saint Ruan, carrying his pack, yelled from outside, “Didn’t you say you would leave before dawn? The day is bright, and you’re still dilly-dallying. What are you doing, making babies?”

Su Yingxue’s face suddenly turned red, “You’re the one babbling nonsense!”

Before she had the chance to properly say goodbye to Chu Yihan, she ran out, chasing after Saint Ruan to thump him repeatedly on the head!

As she chased after Saint Ruan and left the military camp, Su Yingxue looked back and realized she had already put a considerable distance between herself and Chu Yihan.

It would be too late to rush back and say something to him now.

Moreover, she hadn’t decided what to say.

About Qin Muyan?

Or the original intention of her ride back?

There seemed to be an issue between them, yet it was so subtle it could be easily ignored.

“Hey! What are you thinking about? You’re wasting time; even the horses are more diligent than you!”

Despite getting hit, Saint Ruan still cared about Su Yingxue’s schedule and kindly reminded her.

Su Yingxue led her horse, her voice low, “Let’s go.”

If it’s nothing significant, there’s no need to dwell on it.

Inside the commander’s tent, Mo Qi came to report to Chu Yihan, “Master, the Princess has already departed. I will immediately lead men to follow and protect her.”

Chu Yihan waved his hand, “Go then. Whatever she wants to do, support her in secret, and don’t let her be unhappy.”

“Yes! But master… why didn’t you explain things clearly to the Princess?” Mo Qi asked, his brows furrowed with confusion.

“Explain what?”

“Explain… that you kept her in the military camp for her own good, to avoid implicating her and both General Su brothers with accusations of favoritism and inviting criticism!

Also, your painstaking efforts towards both generals, despite having punished Old General Su, you have been tending to his wounds, with the military doctor constantly at his side. On the surface, you said you were punishing General Su Hao but in reality, you were demoting him as training, so when he merits new achievements, he could directly be promoted and ennobled. Furthermore, your apparent coldness towards the two generals is actually to flush out the traitorous spy in the military who is working against them. And you knew early on that Saint Ruan would come to whisk the Princess away, following you to rescue General Su Hao. Your reinforcements have always been ready, never allowing the Princess to come to any harm…”

Chu Yihan had done so much, yet he told Su Yingxue none of it!

In this battle, Chu Yihan’s strategies were not only against the enemy army but were also largely for Su Yingxue’s sake.

He gave her everything he could.
