Chapter 89: Did This King Let You Get Up?

Liang Jin’s eyes were filled with confusion. “Your Highness, how…will you personally guard her? In what manner?”
There was a distinction between men and women. In his residence, there were female attendants who could watch over Su Yingxuc, but Chu Yihan was a man. Was he going to personally guard Su Yingxue in the Marquis’s Manor?
Su Dingheng grew anxious. “Your Highness, it’s unnecessary to trouble you! My daughter has made a mistake. I humbly request Lord Liang to bring her back to the Capital Prefecture.”
“Are you kidding?”
He was already afraid of Chu Yihan. If he stayed in the Marquis’s Manor to watch over Su Yingxuc, would his frail heart still hold up?
Su Yingxue also felt uneasy. “Your Highness, according to customs, it would be better for me to go with Lord Liang.”
Chu Yihan watched over her every day, but she…refused!
“Do you not want me to guard you?” Chu Yihan’s cold gaze fell on Su Yingxuc. His eyes were beautiful, but she could sense a hint of resentment as if she had done something cruel to him.
Su Yingxue’s lips twitched. She had to be cruel. “Yes.”
The resentment in Chu Yihan’s eyes vanished, and he spoke coldly to Liang Jin, “Did you see that? She doesn’t want to be guarded by me. It means she fears me. She willingly goes with you, but if anything happens to her under your care. Whether she escapes, runs away, or if you handle the case unfairly, how will you handle it?”
Liang Jin was perplexed, his mind filled with question marks. He used his lifetime of experience in handling cases to analyze Chu Yihan’s words and came to the conclusion, “Chu Yihan forbade him from colluding with Su Yingxue.”
To confirm his suspicions, Chu Yihan added, “I’ve heard that Mrs. Liang has a strict upbringing. If she learns that you’re bringing a woman back to the manor to guard her, would she not be concerned?”
“This…” Liang Jin, known for his impartiality, was defeated by Chu Yihan.
He had no choice but to compromise, “If Your Highness is willing to personally guard Miss Su, then it would be good. However, can Your Highness guarantee that she won’t escape or face any mishaps until the day I open the court?”
“Naturally, I guarantee it,” Chu Yihan said casually.
“Your Highness, there’s no need to trouble yourself! It’s better than Lord Liang guards my daughter!” Su Yingxue refused once again.
To have Chu Yihan watch over her…what kind of situation would that be?
What if he had to sleep in her bed at night to keep watch?
Recalling their previous experience of sharing a bed, Su Yingxue felt the probability of that happening was too high.
Chu Yihan held onto the jade pendant at his waist and calmly said, “Alternatively, the people from Tongchang Medical Center are suspected of assisting you in assaulting an official of the court. It might be better to bring them back to the Capital Prefecture for supervision as well.”
Su Yingxue clenched her lips.
Chu Yihan, shameless!
In the end, she compromised with the oppressive force.
Liang Jin took Wu Hongtao away. Before leaving, he requested a promise from Chu Yihan that he would watch over Su Yingxue and prevent her from causing trouble at the Minister’s Estate.
Chu Yihan agreed.
After Liang Jin departed, Su Yingxue intended to return to her courtyard.
As the person assigned to guard her, Chu Yihan naturally accompanied her.
When Su Dingheng saw Chu Yihan leave, he quickly had the servants help him up.
Chu Yihan’s chilling voice echoed in the air. “Did I give you permission to rise?”
“Plop!”
Su Dingheng was so frightened that he knelt back down and shouted, “I wouldn’t dare! Your Highness, please forgive me!”
Chu Yihan brazenly entered Su Yingxue’s courtyard.
Behind him, Mo Qi silently admired his master’s audacity.
Su Yingxue entered the bedroom, and Chu Yihan followed.
Zhilan blocked his path. “Your Highness, this is Miss’s private chamber. It would be best if you….didn’t enter!”
