The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1181: Chapter 1177: I Worry for the Emperor @@novelbin@@

But when he reached the front hall, Chu Yihan’s expression turned grim.

Leng Shuqing was dressed very grandly today, as if she truly possessed the aura of a future ruler of the nation.

After paying her respects to Chu Yihan, she stepped forward with a slight smile, “Emperor, this servant knows that you have worked hard on the case until now and must be weary. I have specially prepared a late-night snack for you, please enjoy.”

With a wave of her hand, she allowed Yu Lu to open the food box and set out several delicate late-night dishes and a warm bowl of ginseng soup, which she had been keeping warm on a heater. When it was brought before Chu Yihan, it was still steaming hot.

A usual wife doing such for her busy husband would surely move him deeply.

But at this moment, Chu Yihan just stared at her coldly, “Kneel down!”

Leng Shuqing was still holding the ginseng soup, and with a perplexed expression on her beautiful face, she asked, “Emperor, where did this servant go wrong?”

“What did I instruct you yesterday? Have you forgotten everything?” Chu Yihan’s harsh reprimand immediately made Leng Shuqing tremble and kneel.

Behind her, Yu Lu also knelt down, but couldn’t help saying, “Emperor, Her Highness is only worried about Your Majesty’s safety and feared that you were starving, so she specially came to deliver a late-night snack. Where has she offended Your Majesty? The Imperial Consort was temporarily acting as the empress, but aren’t these things that the empress would do?”

“Is it your turn to speak in my affairs?” Chu Yihan’s anger intensified, his fierce gaze swept over Yu Lu, who immediately bowed her head and knocked it on the ground.

Although Leng Shuqing was being punished, she remained relatively calm, “Emperor, this servant came only to visit you. You have been busy all day, and as this servant is temporarily assuming the role of ’empress’, if even the emperor isn’t visited, then wouldn’t the rumors among the people of our marital harmony turn into mere gossip? This would damage Your Majesty’s sacred reputation.”

“Damage the sacred reputation … is it really that severe?” Su Yingxue, who had been standing by the side, finally spoke softly, “If you want to see the emperor, you could simply say so more openly. There’s no need for so many excuses.”

Being a woman herself, she could clearly see that Leng Shuqing was just taking this opportunity to be around Chu Yihan more and to increase her presence.

But she was making it sound so noble, even using her banner to do so.

This simply left her no choice but to speak up for herself.

Chu Yihan’s anger finally seemed to lessen somewhat, and he looked at Su Yingxue appreciatively, “You have finally understood something.”

Not everything had to be done by him, pulling her along to prove his innocence.

Su Yingxue pouted, “How could one be empress without understanding this much?”

Knowing that if Leng Shuqing stayed any longer, Chu Yihan would only become angrier, she decisively stepped forward, “Imperial Consort, rise. You acted rashly today, which really lacked consideration. The Emperor is handling cases day and night, and naturally has his considerations. With your interruption, our autopsy will have to wait until tomorrow.”

Today, Leng Shuqing had even followed him to Yangzhou Prefecture. If Chu Yihan didn’t go back to rest, it would indeed strain his eyes.

The jealousy burning within Leng Shuqing blazed anew, one fire after another. Why did Su Yingxue have the right to speak to her in that tone?

Who was she taking the blame for now?

It was still Su Yingxue!

Then, why … using Su Yingxue’s name to offer a late-night snack was a mistake?

Leng Shuqing took a deep breath, striving to maintain her composure, “Your Majesty, this servant knows her mistake, but this servant is worried about the Emperor’s health; how should we handle it if his royal body suffers from such incessant busyness?”
