Chapter 372: Why He Couldn’t Die

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Puzzled, Su Ying took the booklet and examined it. She confirmed that Su Yulun’s name had indeed been marked with a red line.

This meant that Xiao Jin wanted Su Yulun to be saved. The booklet did not explain the reason for saving him.

At this point, it was not necessary to send people to the palace to ask for the reason.

Su Ying thought for a while and decided to go take a look.

When Su Ying appeared outside the Prime Minister’s Residence, the faces of the Prime Minister’s guards all changed instantly.

“Crown… Crown Princess, greetings… greetings…”

“Where’s Su Yulun?”

“Your Highness, Master was seriously injured during the palace banquet and is still unconscious in bed.”

Before the guard could finish speaking, Su Ying brushed past them, pushed open the doors of the Prime Minister’s residence, and walked in.

When the people from the Prime Minister’s Residence saw Su Ying, they all hid far away. They dared not approach her at all.

Su Ying walked all the way to Su Yulun’s courtyard.

When Su Yuyan heard the commotion, she walked out of the room. Upon meeting Su Ying’s gaze, she flinched for a moment. She forced herself not to appear weak in front of Su Ying and said, “Why is Your Highness here?”

Su Ying didn’t even look at her and simply walked past her. “I’m here to see if Su Yulun is dead.”

Su Yuyan saw her enter the house and quickly followed. “Father has already ended up in this state. Don’t tell me Your Highness is still unwilling to let Father off?”

The way Su Yuyan put it, those who did not know better would think that Su Ying was the one who had harmed him.

Su Ying stopped in her tracks and turned around, her eyes gleaming with an icy light. “Get lost, or I won’t mind turning you into his state.”

Su Yuyan got a shock and backed away repeatedly in fright.

Su Ying couldn’t be bothered with her and walked straight to the bed.

Tsk!

If she didn’t know that the person lying on the bed was Su Yulun, she would have thought that he was a floating corpse that had been fished out from somewhere. He was so swollen that his facial features could not be seen clearly.

Su Ying put on a pair of surgical gloves and looked at him. She realized that the reason his face was so swollen was because a sword had directly hit his face. The sword wound on his face was inflamed and led to swelling, but the swelling was too much. It was probably due to the serious inflammation.

She took a pair of scissors and cut the bandages on his face. This cut was ruthless enough to directly split Su Yulun’s left face into two halves. From the wound, one could see the back of his molars.

Su Ying then checked his body. There were some small wounds, but they were not as serious as the wound on his face. The reason Su Yulun was unconscious was also because the wound on his face was inflamed and caused a high fever. He had turned groggy from the fever.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the old man’s name was marked in the booklet, she wouldn’t never have made a move to save him.

Xiao Jin had better give her a satisfactory reason.

With that in mind, Su Ying cleared the room of people and brought Su Yulun into her interspatial store.

The wound on Su Yulun’s face was already festering. She needed to clean up the rotten flesh before stitching the flesh and skin back layer by layer.

After Su Ying finished disinfecting the wound, she didn’t apply any anesthesia and directly cut through the flesh.

“Oh, ugh!”

Su Yulun woke up from the pain. He felt as if all the bones in his body had been run over by a carriage. The pain was so great that he was about to suffocate.

However, the pain in his body was nothing at all compared to the pain on his face. The pain on his face almost killed him. This pain rushed straight to his brain, making him extremely clear-headed. The more clear-headed he was, the more he could feel that bone-piercing pain.

Su Yulun opened his eyes, and what greeted his eyes was a blinding whiteness. Other than that, he could not see anything else.

There seemed to be a figure moving around near him, but he could only see fragmented shadows.

Was… Was he dead?

“You are not dead.”

Su Yulun only felt his vision darken, and a pair of icy eyes without any trace of warmth appeared before his eyes.

Su Yulun got a shock and almost jumped out of bed. However, his entire body was in pain and he could not move at all.

Su Ying! How could it be her!

She was indeed an evil demon. She did not even let him off after he died!

Su Yulun only felt his blood vitality surging up, and he lost consciousness in the next instant.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw a dim yellow light in front of him, and his body temperature was no longer as icy cold as before.

However, what greeted his eyes was still the figure of Su Ying, that figure which he loathed to see the most!

Su Yulun wanted to open his mouth, but it affected the wound on his face. It was so painful that his tears almost flowed out.

Su Ying turned around, her icy and elegant almond-shaped eyes looking indifferently at his body. “You regained consciousness pretty fast. It’s good. You can only feel pain when you are conscious.”

Su Yulun managed to squeeze out a few words with great difficulty. “What are you doing here?”

“To see if you’re dead.”

“You!”

Su Ying didn’t want to see Su Yulun’s bloated pig-like face again, so she left the medicine to ensure that he wouldn’t die before leaving the Prime Minister’s Residence.

Immediately after that, Su Ying went to several other residences to treat the injured officials or family members. By the time she returned to her residence, it was already dark.

“The Crown Prince is not back yet?”

Bai Shuang took a hot handkerchief and handed it to Su Ying. “Caretaker Zhang said that the Crown Prince is still in the palace. He will probably be a little late.”

Su Ying’s neck was sore after a whole day of surgeries. “Quick, help me massage my neck to relax a bit.”

Bai Shuang also felt sorry that Su Ying got so tired. “Your Highness, rest well tonight.” There were still quite a number of people marked out in the booklet.

Su Ying closed her eyes and exhaled. “Get them to boil a large pot of mugwort water for me. 1 want to have a good soak tonight.”

“Alright.”

“Your Highness, shall we serve dinner?” Lin Zhuyu asked as she walked into the room.

Su Ying was already so hungry that her tummy had caved in. “Where’s the Young Prince and Young Princess? Have they eaten?”

“They have eaten. The Young Prince and Young Princess had eaten an hour ago. They are studying now.”

Ever since Ling’s accident, the two little fellows had been working harder than before after they came home, whether it was studying or practicing martial arts.

Su Ying nodded in satisfaction. “The light isn’t good at night, so just let them study in moderation.”

“Your Highness,” someone announced the Crown Prince’s arrival.

“Greetings, Your Highness.”

Su Ying raised her head and saw Xiao Jin walking in.

There was a hint of fatigue on his face. It seemed that he had a lot of things to deal with today.

Xiao Jin entered the house and his gaze fell on Su Ying. “When did you come back?”

“30 minutes earlier than you.”

“How come you are back so late?”

“Why don’t you take a look at how many people have been marked on the booklet? Oh, right. Why did you draw a red line on Su Yulun’s name in the booklet? He doesn’t deserve to die?”

“He can’t die for the time being,” Xiao Jin answered when he recalled this matter.

“Why?”

“He has a big project on his hands. The blueprints of the Aquarius River’s dam, the details of the construction process, and the deployment of personnel were still in his hands. Now, the dam construction has reached the end stage.” Considering that the flood season was coming soon, this project had to be completed before the flood season.

If Su Yulun were to die at this time, there was a high chance that there would be mistakes in the handover. At that time, it would be even more time-consuming and laborious to find someone to take over. It was better to let him recover as soon as possible and deal with this matter before talking further.

However, when Xiao Jin drew red lines on the booklet yesterday, he didn’t expect Su Ying to go and give medical treatment to these people. If she had told him in advance, he wouldn’t have wanted her to save Su Yulun.

That was because he was not worthy..
