Chapter 1045

Wasn't Su Su already dead?

How could she still have a teacher?

"Are you thinking that Lu Su is already dead, so where would she have a teacher from, right?"

Su Xuan spoke out Yi Xiaochuan's thoughts.

"Then have you ever thought about one thing: what if Lu Su is not dead?"

Su Xuan's words made Yi Xiaochuan shocked again.

"How could that be?"

"Why couldn't it be?" Su Xuan asked Yi Xiaochuan in return.

"Back then, before she was about to die, you said many sweet words to her. If she really died, that would be one thing, but if she didn't die, have you ever thought about what those words of yours meant to her?"

Yi Xiaochuan fell silent.

If Su Xuan had suddenly run up to him and said these words, Yi Xiaochuan would not have felt anything.

But it just so happened that he had seen Lu Su last night.

At first, Yi Xiaochuan thought he had seen Lu Su's wandering soul in the human world. Now that he thought about it, perhaps it was not...

Yi Xiaochuan's expression changed again and again.

He gradually realized a fact: the Su Su he saw last night being a wandering soul was just his own wishful thinking. Although it was very strange for Su Su to appear in the imperial palace, if her teacher was the State Preceptor of Qin, it seemed barely explainable.

Su Su is not dead? She is still... alive?

Last night, she came to find him because she knew he had come to the imperial palace and was preparing to see him?

As a result, he only treated her as a wandering soul and poured out everything about himself and Yushu in front of her.

"I am such a fool. Su Su was a living person appearing in front of me, yet I treated her as a ghost!"

He finally understood that he had hurt Su Su again inadvertently.

If Su Su were really a ghost, that would be one thing. His words, although heartless, could have allowed Su Su to eliminate all obsessions and let her soul rest in peace. But if she were not dead, his words were the sharp blades that hurt her.

"I..."

Yi Xiaochuan thought of every little detail with Lu Su and felt very miserable.

He also finally understood why this person named Su Xuan, who claimed to be the State Preceptor of Great Qin and Su Su's teacher, had come here to say such things.

He was here to demand justice for Su Su.

"Are you at peace with yourself?"

Thinking of Su Xuan's words, Yi Xiaochuan could not help but mutter to himself. If Lu Su had really died, he could have been at peace, but she was not dead.

And he had indeed proposed to her back then.

Even though Lu Su had said to his face last night that from now on, the two of them would no longer owe each other anything, Yi Xiaochuan could not let go so easily.

Knowing that Lu Su was not dead,

Yi Xiaochuan became mentally chaotic.

Afterward, he carefully recalled every little detail of being with Lu Su, especially the time she fell ill and collapsed in front of him.

"That day, was it you who saved Su Su?"

Su Xuan's appearance finally overlapped with a figure in Yi Xiaochuan's mind.

Su Xuan did not hide it either. "It was I who saved her!"

"However, I did not expect that she would fall for someone like you. If I had known that living would mean suffering these grievances, it would have been better to let her die like that back then."

"At least, she would have died in happiness!"

Yi Xiaochuan said in a deep voice: "I am the one who let Su Su down!"

"You indeed let her down. Do you know that the first thing she did after waking up was to look for you? As a result, you had already left. After failing to find you, she kept thinking of you, hoping you would be safe and sound. As a result, you were indeed safe and sound; not only were you fine, but you even found a new love in a short time."

Su Xuan's words carried a deep sense of irony.

Yi Xiaochuan felt even more guilty upon hearing this.

He asked Su Xuan: "Where is Su Su?"

"Why, do you want to find her and then hurt her again?"

"I want to find her and explain things clearly!" Yi Xiaochuan ignored Su Xuan's irony, his words sounding very serious.

"Last night, wasn't it clear enough?" Su Xuan spoke. Yi Xiaochuan also realized that when he was talking to Su Su last night, Su Xuan was probably nearby and heard those words.

"I..."

Yi Xiaochuan paused again. Yes, last night, he had already explained everything, explaining how he and Yushu fell in love after Su Su died.

It was precisely because he explained it in such detail that he hurt Su Su's heart even more.

Now, if he found Su Su again and explained it to her, what else could he say?

Tell her that those words last night were not his true intention, and that he said them because he thought she was dead, in order to let her soul rest in peace?

If she were still alive, would it be a different story?

In that case, what was the difference between this and the time he deliberately lied before she was about to die from a serious illness, just to let her die happily?

Explaining too much would only make him seem hypocritical.

"Hmph!"

Su Xuan glanced coldly at Yi Xiaochuan, and then looked at Yushu behind Yi Xiaochuan. "Imperial Concubine Yushu is critically ill, and His Majesty is worried about your health, so he issued an imperial edict to the common people to seek medical treatment. I did not expect that Imperial Concubine Yushu would take the opportunity to have an illicit affair with someone."

"Regarding this matter, you should give His Majesty an explanation!"

That's right, when Su Xuan and Yi Xiaochuan were talking, Yushu was actually listening on the side. Because she was suffering from an epidemic, she looked extremely weak.

At this moment, upon hearing Su Xuan's words, her expression suddenly changed.

"This matter has nothing to do with Xiaochuan. If His Majesty wants to blame someone, blame me alone!"

Even though her body was extremely weak, thinking of the consequences this matter might bring, Yushu still hurriedly said to Su Xuan.

Yi Xiaochuan also realized the severity of the matter, and his expression changed drastically.
