Chapter 1029

~7 min read 1,265 words

Lu Su was in great pain.

Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

Once upon a time, she was a little girl who grew up under the protection of her father and sister, ignorant of the world, innocent and naive, until she encountered bandits during the process of moving to Peixian with her father and sister.

Yi Xiaochuan's appearance not only saved them, allowing them to escape the chaos, but also stole her heart.

For a young girl, if there were heroes in the world, then Yi Xiaochuan was her hero.

She gathered her courage to express her love to Yi Xiaochuan, but she did not receive the response she had imagined.

Lu Su was very disappointed, but she did not give up.

Upon learning that Xiaochuan had left with Liu Bang, she decisively chose to run away from home and follow him closely.

Later, she saved Yi Xiaochuan, who had contracted the plague, and gave everything for him.

Until she also contracted the plague and was about to fall ill, Xiaochuan was moved by her and proposed to her.

That time was the happiest moment of her life.

Later, Lu Su discovered 08 that she had not died and had been saved by Mr. Su. Her first thought was to find Xiaochuan and continue their relationship.

But she ended up empty-handed.

Coming to Xianyang later was also because Mr. Su said she could see Xiaochuan here.

Today, Lu Su finally saw the Xiaochuan she had been longing for, but this way of meeting was not what Lu Su had expected.

Xiaochuan had come to the palace for a woman.

For that rumored Imperial Concubine Yushu?

Imperial Concubine Yushu had contracted the plague, and Xiaochuan had come to see her regardless of his own life or death?

Through the crack Su Xuan had made in the window, Lu Su could clearly see the situation inside.

Upon seeing this woman, Xiaochuan even pulled off the cloth on his face, not preparing to take any epidemic prevention measures at all.

When she heard that woman say, "Why did you come here? Leave quickly, leave quickly! No one who has contracted this disease can survive!"

Xiaochuan smiled and held the other party's hand, saying affectionately and firmly, "Since I have come, I never intended to leave alone! Either I cure your illness, or I stay here with you forever."

"Why are you doing this?"

"No, I don't feel bitter at all. On the contrary, being able to see you, how sweet my heart is! Without you, what meaning does my life have?"

"I am the same, living like a walking corpse every day."

Xiaochuan looked at Yushu emotionally, "Why live so long? Even if it's only for one day, let us love each other to our heart's content. I wouldn't trade it for the whole world!"

Yushu also looked at Xiaochuan emotionally, "You are my world."

These words fell into Lu Su's ears, and she felt very hurt.

Simply because Yi Xiaochuan had never said such things to her.

Admittedly, in the eyes of Yi Xiaochuan at the time, she was already dead. After she died, Xiaochuan found a new lover and walked out of his sorrow; this was a happy thing.

However, watching Yi Xiaochuan and Yushu being so affectionate, and listening to their conversation, why did she feel so hurt?

Tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably.

Lu Su wanted to rush up and ask Yi Xiaochuan for an explanation, and at the same time tell him that she had not died.

But in the end, she stopped.

"Mr. Su, let's leave here!"

"I want to be quiet for a while!"

Lu Su raised her hand, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said calmly to Su Xuan, who was standing to the side.

In her seemingly calm words, there was hidden sorrow.

Su Xuan nodded and took Lu Su away from there.

In the room, Yi Xiaochuan seemed to sense something and glanced outside. It seemed like there was someone there, and then he focused his gaze on Yushu again.

At this moment, he only had Yushu in his eyes.

Walking out of the sleeping palace.

Lu Su still had a look of sorrow on her face, while Su Xuan's expression remained the same. He took Lu Su to another place.

The place where Cui Wenzi was!

Cui Wenzi had come to practice medicine with Yi Xiaochuan. In the end, Yi Xiaochuan stepped into Yushu's sleeping palace, while he chose to wait outside.

But not stepping into the sleeping palace did not mean he could leave the Xianyanggong.

After all, Yi Xiaochuan had come here with him. After Yi Xiaochuan went in, no one knew what the result would be. Before the result came out, Cui Wenzi could not leave.

Of course, this was the explanation given by the Qin Huang on the surface.

The real purpose was because he learned from Su Xuan that by seeking medical help for Yushu, one could draw out the physician who refined the elixir of immortality.

Since the imperial edict was issued, only these two people had taken it up. Undoubtedly, the one who refined the elixir of immortality was one of these two. Such a strange person, no matter what, had to be detained.

After Cui Wenzi realized this, he was also miserable. If he had known this would happen, he should not have stepped into the Xianyanggong and should have let Yi Xiaochuan come alone.

Looking at the current situation, if Yi Xiaochuan did not cure this Imperial Concubine Yushu, the Qin Huang might vent his anger on them and have them directly executed.

"Mr. Cui, long time no see…"

A voice filled with sorrow rang in Cui Wenzi's ears.

Cui Wenzi was slightly stunned, then turned his head to look at the other party.

He only saw Lu Su's face, which was filled with loneliness.

"Who are you?"

After Cui Wenzi saw the other party's face clearly, he was slightly stunned, and then his voice became a bit hoarse, "473… Miss Lu Su?!"

His body trembled slightly.

He found it hard to accept this fact.

Lu Su had contracted the plague, and his medicine was only enough to save Yi Xiaochuan. According to his deduction, Lu Su should have been beyond medical help at that time. If she had died, her body must have been cremated to prevent the spread of the plague.

As it turned out, Lu Su was alive and appeared in front of him.

How incredible was this?

"It's me!"

Lu Su nodded gently and answered Cui Wenzi's question.

"You were clearly… how could you?" Cui Wenzi wanted to say that Lu Su had died, and then he thought of an incident that happened when Lu Su collapsed and he thought she had died.

A mysterious person suddenly appeared and took away Lu Su's "corpse."

It was precisely because he thought of this that the figure standing beside Lu Su, wearing fine clothes and looking unremarkable, became more and more familiar in his eyes.

Cui Wenzi shifted his gaze to Su Xuan, "Did you save Miss Lu Su?"

"But, how did you do it?"

In Lu Su's situation at the time, even if he had medicine in his hand, he would not have been sure of saving her.

After all, she was already on the verge of death.

As it turned out, Lu Su was alive. Undoubtedly, it was the person in front of him who had saved her.

Such medical skills left Cui Wenzi horrified.
