Chapter 915: Chapter 913: Lu Ying
Saint Ruan vehemently shook his head, “I don’t want to.”
Had time allowed, he would have asked for it to rewind so that he could have bound Su Yingxue even tighter, and stuffed his socks into her mouth as well.
This ungrateful bastard!
Chu Yihan’s chest swelled with rage, which he couldn’t vent on Su Yingxue.
All he could do was furrow his brow tightly, “You do not trust Your Highness! Would I abandon Su Hao without a care? You are so anxious to dash out here to court death, do you think of marching and fighting as child’s play?”
“Your Highness, I didn’t mean…”
“Had it been Qin Muyan advising you today, would you have patiently waited?” Chu Yihan’s deep brows and eyes fixed on her.
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, unable to come back to her senses. Why suddenly bring up Qin Muyan?
What does he have to do with this?
To Chu Yihan, her momentary distraction was an admission.
If someone as heroic as Qin Muyan had immediately waged war on Qi for her sake, without regard for the cost of lives, and rescued Su Hao, surely Su Yingxue would have been deeply moved, wouldn’t she?
A faint pain throbbed in Chu Yihan’s heart.
“Your Highness, what are you thinking about? What does it have to do with Qin Muyan…”
“Enough! Your Highness does not want to hear you say that name!”
Each time she said it, his heart ached once more!
“Can you two not go back and argue later? Now that you’re here, at least take a look at him. Is Su Hao dead or alive? Aren’t you going to give him a glance?”
Saint Ruan couldn’t stomach this dog food any longer and could only say something unpleasant to prick their hearts.
And Su Yingxue was indeed pricked to the heart.
“Your Highness, have you found where Brother is being held? How is he now?” Su Yingxue frantically shook Chu Yihan’s arm.
Chu Yihan brushed her hand aside, his gaze cold and clear. “He’s in the next tent.”
He waited with Su Yingxue here for the change of guards before they sneaked into the adjacent tent.
On the crucifix, Su Hao was bound with thick iron chains from head to toe, utterly exhausted and covered in injuries.
“Brother…”
Su Yingxue covered her mouth to stop herself from crying out.
“Who are you?!”
Behind Su Hao, a woman sounded the alarm.
She hurriedly stood in front of Su Hao. After a quick glance over the three of them, she guarded Su Hao even more closely, “If you want to kill him, kill me first! I will never let you touch him!”
“Who are you?” Chu Yihan asked sharply.
Lu Ying was intimidated by Chu Yihan’s overwhelming presence, her body trembling slightly, instinctively wanting to kneel in submission.
Seeing her protect Su Hao, Su Yingxue attempted a patient explanation, “We are not the Qi army, I am his…”
“Don’t come any closer! Don’t you dare approach him! Brother Hao is my husband! I will protect him even if it costs me my life!”
Lu Ying was a delicate woman but full of spirit, standing fearlessly in front of Su Hao.
“Husband?”
Su Yingxue struggled to find the words.
Since when did Su Hao… acquire another sister-in-law?
“Lu Ying, show some respect. This is… the Ninth Prince.”
From behind her, Su Hao struggled to open his eyes.
Each word he uttered came with enormous pain.
“Brother!”
Su Yingxue couldn’t care less as she pushed Lu Ying aside, hugging Su Hao and quickly stuffing a Heart Protection Pill into his mouth, “Brother, this is a Heart Protection Pill, swallow it quickly.”
Following instructions, Su Hao swallowed and began to focus on absorbing the medicine.
“The Ninth Prince? You’re talking nonsense! Why would the Ninth Prince venture deep into enemy territory and come here!”
Lu Ying, having been pushed aside, showed clear displeasure on her face.
Her voice, uncontrolled, drew the attention of those outside, “Who’s in there?”
