The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!-Chapter 1281 - 1276: She is Heartbroken

Chapter 1281: Chapter 1276: She is Heartbroken

The air was dense and damp in the tightly sealed chamber, filled with the stench of blood and decay. An ordinary person would go mad in these conditions, let alone Xiao Qingyu, who had been raised in luxury since childhood.

Yet when Su Yingxue approached him with the luminous pearl, he merely closed his eyes, his expression devoid of despair, exuding an air of indifference instead.

Su Yingxue sighed, “Truly worthy of the Xiao family’s direct line.”

Like Xiao Yu, he remained composed regardless of the drastic fluctuations in his life.

Xiao Qingyu slowly opened his eyes and, aided by the light of the pearl, saw Su Yingxue’s stunning face, “Empress…”

“Shh!”

Su Yingxue gestured for silence, “We must keep this quiet. We’ve found Xiao Yu, but his condition is dire. I’ve come to the Xiao family to retrieve the seal and to check on you. How are you? Have you been tortured? Have they used gu on you?”

Xiao Qingyu was in fact in great discomfort. His handsome face was etched with the ravages of torment, yet he elegantly nodded, “The physical injuries from the torture are bearable, it’s the gu…”

Remembering, Xiao Qingyu recalled Xiao Muyan forcibly feeding him something that day. He felt something moving inside his body, sometimes gnawing at his meridians, causing unbearable pain.

It must have been the so-called gu.

Su Yingxue took his pulse and located the gu using the Soul-Consuming Needle. She then excised the gu, and stitched up the wound—a complex procedure she had now mastered with precision and delicacy.

However, while sewing him up, she intentionally made the stitches uneven and told Xiao Qingyu, “To prevent Xiao Muyan from noticing, you’ll have to pretend. And this wound, I’ll need to disguise it for you.”

Pale-faced and sweating slightly, Xiao Qingyu nodded firmly, “I understand. I can endure it.”

Su Yingxue deliberately messed up his wound to conceal the removal of the gu, then administered a Heart Protection Pill to Xiao Qingyu before planning to leave.

As she was about to go, Xiao Qingyu struggled to speak, “Empress!”

“What is it?”

Su Yingxue turned around, observing the faint emotion in his eyes.

He hesitated, then couldn’t resist asking, “Could Your Majesty tell me, how is Sister Rong Sheng now? Has she reconciled with Lord Chu Yifeng?”

Su Yingxue glanced back at him, her look complex, “She won’t reconcile with Chu Yifeng, but as for you…”

Suddenly, Su Yingxue remembered that it had been during these past three years of Rong Sheng’s absence that she had met Xiao Qingyu. If there had been any change in her or experiences she had undergone during these years, Xiao Qingyu would know best.

She stepped closer to him and inquired further, “Xiao Qingyu, what do you think of Sister Rong Sheng?”

Caught off guard, but after a moment of deep deliberation, he pursed his lips and said, “She is a good doctor, but also a very serious patient. According to your medical experts, she has a severe… psychological disorder.”

“And how can you tell?” Su Yingxue grew increasingly curious about his answer.

“Her medical skills are comparable to yours, Empress. In these three years, she has healed so many and saved countless lives. Even the best doctors might not match her expertise. However, I have never seen true happiness on her face. It’s mostly coldness and solitude. She carries a deep wound in her heart, and a severe one at that.”

Xiao Qingyu recalled every encounter with Rong Sheng over these three years, always the same.

She was as cold and detached as a Banished Immortal, yet the hatred and pain in her eyes mercilessly dragged her into this mundane world.
