725 Princess Consort Was Wise!

Chu Yihan rested in the Marquis’s Manor for a day. When he woke up, Su Yingxue informed him that Mo Qi had arrived.

Originally, Su Yingxue didn’t want him to exert himself too much, considering his severe injuries, and should rest more.

However, Mo Qi insisted that there were many matters to attend to after the battle, so she reluctantly helped Chu Yihan up.

Mo Qi knelt halfway before Chu Yihan and reported, “The conflict has subsided. The garrison from Yanyun City has returned. The former commander of the Imperial Guards has been executed. The Lan family’s guards have dispatched pursuers. As for the Seventh Prince… He seemed to have begun self-harming due to his delirium. By the time we arrived, he was already a cripple.”

“A cripple? What did he do?” Su Yingxue was particularly curious. After all, Chu Chengye had tested the poison for her.

“He castrated himself,” Mo Qi revealed, causing Su Yingxue’s expression to stiffen. “He must be unable to cope with the situation,” she commented.

However, Chu Yihan smirked slightly. “In that case, there’s no need to be merciless. Send him back to the prince’s residence and assign someone to watch over him.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Mo Qi felt his master was strangely gleeful.

Su Yingxue was surprised that Chu Yihan spared Chu Chengye’s life. After all, Chu Chengye had triggered Chu Yihan’s bloodlust and even led troops to encircle him. Typically, in such a rebellion, the victor would eliminate potential threats.

Curiously, Su Yingxue blinked at Chu Yihan. His eyes seemed profound. “He’s just a cripple. I won’t waste my time with him. I’ll spare him because he addressed me as ‘Imperial Uncle’.”

” Why do I feel sparing his life is more cruel than killing him?” Su Yingxue tilted her head.

Mo Qi thought, “Princess Consort, you’ve caught on!”

“A defeated general stripped of his dignity as a man… what’s the point of keeping him alive?” Chu Yihan heard Su Yingxue’s remark. “Instruct those guarding Chu Chengye not to let him commit suicide,” he ordered.

Mo Qi clenched his teeth. “Yes, Master,” he replied, feeling his master’s ruthlessness.

“Who will Your Highness appoint as the new commander of the Imperial Guards?” This was a critical military issue that couldn’t be left unresolved.

Chu Yihan pondered for a moment. “You will temporarily assume the role. The Imperial Guards need reorganization. I’ll decide after I’ve recovered. Also, have you found the individual who attacked me that day?”

On the day they were besieged by Chu Chengye, there was a highly skilled man who plotted against Su Yingxue, exacerbating her bloodthirstiness. He was also associated with Chu Chengye. While Chu Yihan might spare Chu Chengye, he would never spare his accomplice!

When Chu Yihan mentioned this, Mo Qi glanced at Su Yingxue but remained silent for a moment.

Feeling Mo Qi’s gaze, Su Yingxue said, “Don’t tell me you think that person has something to do with me or is within the Marquis’s Manor?”

Mo Qi nodded vigorously. “Princess Consort, you’re astute!”

“He’s someone from your household!” Su Yingxue concluded, rubbing her chin. Although she hadn’t seen the person clearly, his slim figure and ruthless attacks hinted at his involvement with her and his presence within the Marquis’s Manor.

“Su Jinxuan!” Su Yingxue gritted her teeth.

Mo Qi nodded. “Princess Consort, you’re wise. He has exceptional lightness skills. The Shadow Guards were on the verge of catching up to him, but once he entered the Marquis’s Manor, they dared not pursue.”

Therefore, Chu Yihan’s actions against this person would depend on Su Yingxue’s response.

With a stern expression, Su Yingxue declared, “Your Highness, I’ll immediately capture him. You can deal with him as you see fit!”

Su Jinxuan had lingered for too long!

She hastened to Su Jinxuan’s courtyard, only to find her grandfather had stationed guards there, preventing anyone from entering.
