Capítulo 37: I Will Protect You
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Chu Yihan placed his hand on Su Yingxue's knee and raised his eyebrows. "I didn't use any strength."
She shouted too early.
Su Yingxue was filled with anger. "Your Highness, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Don't you know this common sense?"
When Chu Yihan heard this, he moved his hands gently and rubbed her knees. "I know, but I won't do it."
Su Yingxue was speechless.
She was always speechless by this man's shamelessness.
However, the gentle movements of his hands gradually made her feel less pain in her knees and her body relaxed.
She had been in the palace for a whole day. Chu Yihan massaged her knees, and she leaned against the carriage to rest. She thought about the myriad of things in her mind.
Consort Xiang had been poisoned by a poison developed by her mother, and the person who had poisoned her was afraid of her. The person who had poisoned her must be related to the Empress. Her mother's cause of death was unknown, and if she found out who had poisoned Consort Xiang, she could also find clues related to her mother.
"Trying to help Consort Xiang?" Chu Yihan's deep and magnetic voice made Su Yingxue open her eyes.
There was still a languid look in her eyes that had yet to dissipate. She was like a loving cat, very gentle and obedient.
Chu Yihan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously wanted to get closer to her.
Su Yingxue quickly avoided him. After keeping a distance from him, she sat up straight and answered her question, "I just want to cure her."
"Heh."
Chu Yihan sneered. His deep and sharp eyes seemed to have seen through her thoughts.
"You don't believe me, do you think I will do something to you?"
Su Yingxue also imitated him and snorted. "Why should I trust Your Highness? Is there anything I can trust in your conduct?"
"What have I done that is not worthy of your trust? I didn't help you when I sent the ginseng to the Marquis's Manor? When I invited you into my manor to treat my illness, didn't that make you famous? I saved you today, but didn't I leave you safe and sound?" Chu Yihan was upright, and there was a hint of grievance in his tone.
It was as if Su Yingxue had let him down!
Su Yingxue originally felt that she had been taken advantage of by him and hated him righteously, but now...
Why did she feel that she was in the wrong?
It seemed like what Chu Yihan said was true. He had been helping her all along?
"Cough cough!"
Su Yingxue turned around and faced Chu Yihan. She lowered her head and thanked him seriously, "Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I am extremely grateful. However, treating Consort Xiang today is just like what Your Highness said, it's troubled waters, so it's better not to implicate you."
"I'm fearless." Chu Yihan's handsome face had a casual expression.
Su Yingxue felt her heart heat up. This man was noble and domineering. She originally had no power to resist in front of him.
However, everything he did made her want to trust him and tell him what she wanted to do.
"I want to find the murderer who poisoned Consort Xiang because the poison that Consort Xiang was poisoned with is related to my mother."
She blurted out the words out of nowhere.
Chu Yihan's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Alright, do it without worry. I'll protect you."
Su Yingxue was stunned. "Your Highness..."
"With me here, you still don't feel at ease?" Chu Yihan raised his eyebrows. Was he not strong enough for her to feel?
"No!" Su Yingxue shook her head. He had dared to take her away from Fengzao Palace and anger the Empress. His strength was so strong that it made people admire him.
Since he dared to do this, he must not be afraid of the consequences.
But why did he help her?
