<h4>Chapter 668 (2): Leave It To Me</h4>


    Even for someone who has seen his fair share of beautifuldies, Li Zikang was impressed by Su Xi-er’s looks. She was someone who looked fragile on the outside, but strong on the inside.


    Du Ling smiled as he saw the couple approach, letting Wu Ling take over carrying Yu Xiao.


    “Let’s go, Prince Hao, Younger Sister,” Du Ling said.


    Li Zikang was visibly angered by now, but there was absolutely nothing he could do.


    “Western Region King, you’re leaving the pce so soon?” Just as the group was about to leave, Hua Ziqing appeared out of nowhere.


    Du Ling smirked. “Prince Qing, how does it feel to be a voyeur lurking in the shadows all the time?”


    Pei Qianhao held Su Xi-er’s hand tight as he ignored Hua Ziqing, while Su Xi-er regarded thetter coldly.


    “What are you saying, Western Region King? This Prince has just returned to the capital. How in the world could I be observing things in the shadows?” Hua Ziqing responded calmly.


    Du Ling scoffed. “Oh? Who was it in Xiang vige then?”


    Though Hua Ziqing was caught slightly unawares by the sudden question, there was nary a ripple in his expression. “This Prince doesn’t understand what you are trying to get at.”


    Seeing that Du Ling seemed intent on pushing this point, he gave him a quick reminder. “King, the fireworks banquet is tomorrow. We can talk to the Monarch of Xiliu directly then.”


    Du Ling gave him a brief nod before starting towards the horse carriage outside. “You’re right, Prince Hao.”


    Hua Ziqing clenched his fists as he watched the three of them leave. Li Zikang, on the other hand, was trembling in fear.


    “Master, I…”


    “We’ll talk about thister.” Hua Ziqing then turned to leave.


    Li Zikang turned to his subordinates and said, “What are all of you looking at? Leave, and close the pce gates.”


    When they finally arrived at the posthouse, Pei Qianhao and Su Xi-er walked in hand-in-hand. Meanwhile, Du Ling followed closely behind, while Wu Ling went ahead to get a doctor for Yu Xiao.


    Su Xi-er looked at the injured Yu Xiao and said, “A-Jing, leave Li Zikang to me.”


    “Xi-er, you need to take good care of yourself and get more rest. There’s no need for you to be worried about these things.” Du Ling tried to convince her otherwise since he was worried about her health.


    On the other hand, Pei Qianhao contemted for a moment before answering, “Sure.”


    Pei Qianhao knew that Su Xi-er treated her people like family, and seeing Yu Xiao hurt had upset her.


    “Don’t worry. Li Zikang is nothing at all.” Su Xi-er’s eyes shed.


    Wu Ling entered with a doctor at this point, and thetter shook his head upon seeing Yu Xiao’s injuries.


    “How is he?” Su Xi-er asked.


    The physician ced Yu Xiao’s hand back under the nket and said, “Treatment for his injuries have been dyed for too long. His shoulder des are basically destroyed. I’m afraid he might be unable to use most of his strength in future.”


    Yu Xiao stared at the doctor with wide eyes upon hearing this. “You’re saying that I won’t be able to use the bow and arrow in future?”


    “I’m afraid so.” The physician shook his head at this,menting over the fact that a young person like Yu Xiao had to go through such pain.


    Yu Xiao went quiet, trying to clench his fist in anger, but finding that he couldn’t exert the force needed. I’ve be useless. How do I kill Yun Ruofeng and get revenge for my Big Brother now?


    “Wu Ling, go with the doctor to get the medicine,” Su Xi-er instructed.


    Knowing that Su Xi-er wanted to speak privately with Yu Xiao, both Du Ling and Pei Qianhao left the room.


    “Yu Xiao, I’ll make sure you can do what I’ve promised you. You will definitely be the one to y Yun Ruofeng with the Heart-Prating Arrow.” Su Xi-er spoke with resolve.


    Yu Xiao gave a bitter smile. “Eldest Imperial Princess, you don’t have to console me; I know it’s impossible now.”


    “Yu Xiao, do you trust me?” Su Xi-er asked.


    Yu Xiao nodded. “I trust you.”


    “If I cane back from the dead, you will be able to recover.” Su Xi-er spoke gently but surely.


    What she said ignited a me of hope in Yu Xiao. Though there was a part of him which felt that recovery was impossible, it was indeed true that Su Xi-er hade back from the dead.


    “I won’t give up, Eldest Imperial Princess.” Yu Xiao answered with renewed resolve.
