He came with the imperial edict, and Su Yingxue was originally about to kneel to hear the decree.

However, Chu Yihan promptly helped her up and placed the imperial edict in her hands. “Read it yourself. There’s no need to kneel.”

“Isn’t this… inappropriate?” Su Yingxue glanced at the two court officials behind Chu Yihan, who had come with him to announce the decree. Seeing Chu Yihan hand the edict directly to her, Su Yingxue couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

As expected, the expressions of the two officials were notably grim, and they dared not express anger or objection.

In an attempt to relieve them from Chu Yihan’s imposing aura, Su Yingxue opened the edict and skimmed through it. She raised her eyebrows slightly. “The emperor wants me to oversee the reception of envoys from the four countries?”

Chu Yihan added, “You’ll be accompanying me. Although this isn’t something you’ve done before, I’m here, so you don’t need to worry about a thing.”

Chu Yihan shook Su Yingxue’s hand, providing an overwhelming sense of security and protection. This made Su Yingxue feel somewhat embarrassed. “Well then, this time I’ll rely on Your Highness to earn me some rewards in front of the emperor.”

She playfully smiled, and Chu Yihan pinched her cheek.

After the banter between them, Su Yingxue understood the meaning of the imperial edict. One of the officials spoke, “Miss Su is talented and capable. She will surely handle this matter well. I will report back to the emperor.”

Su Yingxue nodded politely. “Thank you.”

Without the elevated status of Chu Yihan, she couldn’t afford to be too arrogant.

However, when she turned around, she noticed Su Dingheng still kneeling obediently behind her.

Possibly intimidated by Chu Yihan’s imposing presence, he didn’t dare to move even without a command.

Yet, he was still her father. Su Yingxue tugged at Chu Yihan and reminded him, “My father is still kneeling.”

Chu Yihan’s cold gaze shifted to Su Dingheng. “Get up.”

Su Dingheng stood up shakily and bowed. “Thank you, Your Highness. If there’s nothing else that Your Highness requires today…”

“I have matters to discuss with Su Yingxue. If you have no other business, you may take your leave.” Chu Yihan was already quite polite, considering Su Yingxue’s presence.

Su Dingheng looked at Su Yingxue with a slightly aggrieved expression, clearly reluctant to leave her.

Su Yingxue felt a headache coming on. Since her father’s surgery, he had been acting unusually. He depended on her, making a fuss the moment he woke up, demanding to see her. If he couldn’t, he would throw a tantrum like a child.

Su Yingxue had no choice but to coax him. “Father, go back first. I’ll send the medicine over for you later.”

Su Dingheng’s eyes seemed afraid that Chu Yihan would take Su Yingxue away. He was particularly attached to her.

However, he couldn’t even meet Chu Yihan’s gaze, so he left in embarrassment.

Chu Yihan noticed Su Yingxue’s tone when speaking to Su Dingheng, and his eyes showed displeasure. “Are you this gentle to everyone now?”

His uniqueness had disappeared.

Su Yingxue was momentarily stunned before reaching out to poke him. “Could you be jealous? He is my father! Although he’s a bit hateful, he’s still my father.”

“I remember that he didn’t treat you well. For so many years, you relied on the Old General’s affection.” Chu Yihan’s eyes expressed a hint of pain for her.

Indeed, the bond between father and daughter could not be severed, but he didn’t want Su Yingxue to forgive the person who had wronged her.

“Your Highness is overthinking. I saved him, but it has nothing to do with the father-daughter relationship. I did it solely to preserve the Marquis Manor’s reputation. With Grandfather and Brother at the border, 1 hold the Marquis’s Manor authority. Liu Shulan has recently passed away.. If rumors spread that this Marquis has mistreated its heir, the Marquis of AAartial South’s Manor will become a laughingstock!”
