Chapter 345: How Can You Leave Them in the Lurch?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Zhiya was furious, but there was nothing she could do but wait for Chu
Zhihe and Chu Yuemu to wake up and testify against Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili. She really wanted to see what the duo would do at that time.
Frankly speaking, Chu Zhiya hoped that something would happen to Chu Zhihe and Chu Yuemu, especially Chu Yuemu. After all, if Chu Yuemu died here, there would be one less person fighting for the throne with her brother. However, in order to deal with Yu Yunxi, the twins could not die yet.
Seeing that the twins were in terrible condition, Chu Zhiya suppressed her temper and said gently, “Imperial Cousin Sister, perhaps there's a misunderstanding. However, Sixth Imperial Sister and Seventh Imperial Brother's conditions are very bad now. You know medicine, right? Can you treat them?”
Yu Yunxi refused decisively. “No. My medical skills are only ordinary. If anything goes wrong, won't I become a sinner?”
'I'm not stupid. Why would I save someone who wanted to kill me?'
Chu Zhiya's smile froze when she heard Yu Yunxi's direct refusal. She bit her lip and asked, sounding aggrieved, “Imperial Cousin Sister, they're your cousins. Can't you save them?”
Seeing Chu Zhiya, whom he adored, like that, Ji Jianbai could no longer endure it. He said angrily, “That's right, Eldest Princess. How can you leave them in the lurch like that?”
Subsequently, a young woman said in a strange tone, “That's right, that's right. Eldest Princess, no matter what, you know medicine. Aren't doctors supposed to save lives?”
The young woman was Yang Yeqi, the legitimate daughter of the Yang family.
Ding Qing, the legitimate daughter of the Ding family, also chimed in, “The
Sixth Princess had a conflict with the Eldest Princess in the past. I guess the
Eldest Princess is still angry so she's unwilling to save them…'
With this, more and more people began to speak up.
“If the Third Princess knew medicine, she would definitely save them. How could a doctor disregard lives just because of a personal grudge? This is against the principle of doctors…”
“Eldest Princess, you're unwilling to save them. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep well if something happens to them?”
Yu Yunxi was not angry at all when she heard these words. On the contrary, she laughed out loud. She asked slowly, “So all of you are saints? Just because I don't do anything now, I'm a petty person who goes against the principle of doctors?”
When the few noble young ladies heard this, they did not dare to make a sound anymore, afraid that Yu Yunxi would hold a grudge against them.
Only Yang Yeqi was undeterred. She quickly ran to Chu Yuemu's side and helped him up. Her gaze was filled with pity as she looked at him.
It seems like she likes… Chu Yuemu…
Seeing how terrible Chu Yuemu's injuries were, Yang Yeqi's resentment toward Yu Yunxi grew even stronger. She raised her head and said in an interrogative tone, “Something happened to the Seventh Prince right under your nose. You're also a member of the imperial family. As his cousin, shouldn't you save him?”
At this time, Chu Zhiya shook her head and said with a sorrowful expression on her face, “Alright, stop talking. The Eldest Princess has just returned so it's not surprising that she has no sense of kinship with the imperial family. Stop forcing her.”
Then, Chu Zhiya hurried forward and crouched down to help Chu Zhihe up. Her eyes were red as she cried, “Sixth Imperial Sister, it's all my fault. Hunting is so dangerous. I should've stopped you from participating earlier. Now that you're hurt, I can't find anyone to treat you. It's all my fault!”
Ji Jianbai's heart ached when he saw Chu Zhiya like this. He quickly said, “Third
Princess, stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault.”
Suddenly, Chu Zhihe began to cough violently, looking like she was on the verge of death.
Ding Qing asked worriedly, “The Sixth Princess can't hold on for much longer. What should we do?”
Consort Mu doted on her daughter and son the most. If something happened to the duo, almost everyone present now would be implicated. Those like Yu Yunxi who had noble statuses might be fine, but that was not the case for everyone.
“Sixth Imperial Sister, don't scare me! You must hold on!” Chu Zhiya called out anxiously. Then, she turned to Yu Yunxi and said, “Cousin, what must I do before you're willing to save Sixth Imperial Sister? If you're angry because of what happened before, I'll apologize on behalf of Sixth Imperial Sister! As long as you're willing to save Sixth Imperial Sister and Seventh Imperial Brother, I'm willing to do anything!”
“Third Princess, don't beg her!”
Ji Jianbai's eyes were bloodshot. He wished he could kill that ungrateful b*tch,
Yu Yunxi, now.
At the same time, people began to whisper among themselves.
“The Third Princess is too pure and kind. She has such a good relationship with the Sixth Princess. If something happens to the Sixth Princess, what will she
“Why is there such a big difference between them when they're both
princesses? The Third Princess is gentle and kind while the other one is…”
“Hush! Keep your voice down. Be careful that you don't get punished. After all, not everyone is as kind as the Third Princess.”
Yu Yunxi could not help but laugh out loud when she heard those people praising Chu Zhiya to the sky and trampling her to the ground. She finally understood why almost everyone thought that Chu Zhiya was the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital, and why Chu Zhiya was everyone's favorite princess.
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Chu Zhiya coldly before she asked,
“Chu Zhiya, are you sure you're really willing to do anything as long as I save
Chu Zhihe and Chu Yuemu?”
“W-what?”
Chu Zhiya froze. In order to show her kindness, she had deliberately said those words earlier. She did not expect Yu Yunxi to bring up those words.
'What does Yu Yunxi want to do?'
“You only need to answer me. Are you really willing to do anything to save them?” Yu Yunxi asked in an increasingly cold voice.
Ji Jianbai could not bear to watch his beloved getting bullied so he jumped out again and said, “Eldest Princess, how can you force the Third Princess like
“Noisy!”
Yu Yunxi's eyes glinted coldly. A silver needle appeared between her fingers; she was prepared to deal with Ji Jianbai.
However, at this moment, a gust of wind blew past.
Ji Jianbai could not dodge in time and was hit by a wave of energy on his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled a few steps back.
Everyone looked at Feng Yili in shock. After all, everyone knew that Ji Jianbai was the most powerful among the young generals in Xichu. However, Ji Jianbai was injured with just a strike from Feng Yili.
'How terrifying is the King of Youshan's strength?'
Feng Yili's cold gaze swept past everyone as he said in an equally cold voice, “If
I hear any of you speak ill of her again, I won't be so lenient the next time…”
Everyone did not even need to guess that the 'her' Feng Yili mentioned was Yu
Yunxi.
'The King of Youshan is actually so protective of the Eldest Princess?'
Yu Yunxi calmly looked away. She looked calm outwardly, but her heart was surging at this moment. After her heart calmed down, she decided to focus on the matter at hand. It was time for her to teach these people a lesson.
Yu Yunxi smiled slightly as she looked at Chu Zhiya with a chilly gaze and said, “Actually, it's not difficult to save them. However, they've lost a lot of blood so we need a close relative to cut his or her wrist and give them blood.”
Yu Yunxi paused for dramatic effect before she continued to say to Chu Zhiya, “Third Princess, you're a close relative of them. You're the most suitable candidate.. “
