Chapter 1047

Earlier, he had deeply hurt Su Su; even if it was not intentional, he had hurt her in the end. Today, because of himself, he had implicated Yushu.

Even though she was critically ill, because of Cui Wenzi's medicine, she was actually savable. As long as she persisted in taking the medicine, she would be able to recover before long.

And the result?

He could not suppress his longing for Yushu and poured out all his thoughts in this room. If no one had discovered it, that would be one thing, but it just so happened that someone had discovered it.

This directly implicated Yushu.

Yi Xiaochuan did not doubt at all that if this person told the Emperor about this, the Emperor would be furious.

Even if Yushu was the Princess of Tu'an, so what?

In the process of getting along with Yushu, he had already understood that the Emperor seemed to have issued an imperial edict to seek medical treatment for Yushu, but in reality, he did not trust Yushu much.

This showed that the reason the other party kept Yushu in the palace was just because she had come to marry into the family.

If Yushu really did not observe the virtues of a wife, judging by the coldness displayed by this Emperor, he would absolutely not spare Yushu.

"No, Xiaochuan, this has nothing to do with you!" Yushu saw Yi Xiaochuan's self-reproach and comforted him, forcing a smile on her face. "This is also good. Since you and I could not be together in life, then after death, let us be a pair of ghost husband and wife, together forever."

Yi Xiaochuan was moved.

His mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but looking at Yushu, who was haggard from serious illness, the words on his lips were not spoken, but replaced by other words.

"Okay, let us go to the Yellow Springs together!"

He took the initiative to reach out and hold Yushu's slender hand, having already made up his mind.

At the moment he sent Yushu into the palace, he actually did not want to live anymore.

Losing Yushu was equivalent to losing everything.

It was only because Yushu was still in the palace that he persisted in living in this world.

Until he learned that Yushu was critically ill, he tried every possible way to enter the palace to see Yushu. After seeing her, he tore off the cloth covering his face, having already prepared to die with her if he could not cure her.

Therefore, dying with Yushu was not a difficult decision to make.

"It seems you have already made plans to live and die together." Su Xuan said indifferently. "I have to say, the feelings between you are moving, but what I want to say is that death is not the end."

While speaking, he looked at Yi Xiaochuan. "You are just a wild villager, a mere commoner; if you die, you die, it is no big deal." He looked at Yushu again. "As for you, as the princess sent by Tu'an for marriage, do not forget your identity."

"Only if you are alive will Qin protect Tu'an. If you die with a scandal, the entire Tu'an will be shamed because of you. From now on, don't think about Qin protecting the people of Tu'an anymore."

Yushu's expression changed.

Yi Xiaochuan also heard the threat in Su Xuan's words.

Back then, it was precisely for the sake of the people of Tu'an that Yushu abandoned her feelings for him and went to Qin for marriage.

It could be said that in Yushu's heart, Tu'an surpassed everything.

Today, Su Xuan mentioned Tu'an in front of Yushu again, which was forcing Yushu to make a choice.

Death, of course, was not a terrible thing.

One could even go to the Yellow Springs with one's beloved and be a pair of ghost lovers, but what was feared was that after one's death, one would implicate one's people and one's country.

"What exactly do you want us to do?"

Yi Xiaochuan looked at Su Xuan and finally spoke with some annoyance.

According to Su Xuan's words, they could not live.

Once the matter of his affair with Yushu spread, both he and Yushu would be executed.

Similarly, death was not the end.

If Yushu died with a scandal, Tu'an would be implicated immediately.

Yi Xiaochuan knew Yushu's character well; there was no doubt that this was something Yushu could not accept.

Unable to live, unable to die!

This was Yi Xiaochuan's most profound feeling at this moment.
