The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1238: Chapter 1233: Let My Son, Live On_2

“We cannot just stand by and watch the young master starve to death here.”

“Go,” Xiao Yu instructed in a low voice.

But he miscalculated, for Ying Yi could no longer find any food. They had been trapped here for a month, and all the food and water sources were exhausted.

Fortunately, it had rained in the last two days, so he was able to catch some water for Su Miaoyan, but Ningning…

Xiao Yu bit his own finger and placed it in his mouth, and little Ningning, as if finding food in a dream, clung to Xiao Yu’s finger and began to suckle.

Seeing this scene, Su Miaoyan couldn’t help but let the tears flow.

Xiao Yu had already fed the child with his blood more than once. But how much longer could he hold on like this?

When Ying Yi returned, he kneeled in front of Xiao Yu, “Young master, your subordinate… has failed you!”

He was unable to find any food; even the grass and leaves in the mountains had been eaten by them.

They had not eaten for three days, the same was true for Xiao Yu and Su Miaoyan.

Xiao Yu, caressing the gradually cooling body of the child in his arms, made a decision.

He handed the child to Ying Yi, “You and Ying Er, protect the child and break through the Gu corpse swarm. Take him to Jiang Du City.”

“Young master?” Ying Yi’s face turned red with emotion, “This won’t do! All five of us need to be together to activate the Sword Array and protect you and the madam. If we’re missing even one person, the next time the Gu corpses attack… the remaining three won’t be able to ensure your safety!”

By then, both Xiao Yu and Su Miaoyan would be doomed!

“Ningning can’t hold on any longer.”

Xiao Yu turned to look at Su Miaoyan, drawing her into his embrace with a voice full of deep affection and regret, “I’m sorry, Miaoyan. They can’t break through with you. We can only send Ningning away first.”

“I’ll be okay.”

Su Miaoyan didn’t look discouraged, but rather quite happy upon seeing him relent and let people take Ningning away, “Whether it’s life or death, as long as I am with Yu, it doesn’t matter. But Ningning… he’s still so young. He’s barely had a chance to truly experience this world, and it pains me so…”

Su Miaoyan’s tears fell in torrents as she looked down and gently kissed the child’s forehead, “If only Ningning could survive, then I would be… fearless.”

She only hoped that the heavens would grant her child a chance at life.

Don’t let him die in the cruel and terrifying swarm of Gu corpses, to be devoured by them.

The Gu corpses were too terrifying.

“This won’t do! Or… let’s take advantage of the aftermath of this Gu corpse wave and make a break for it with the madam and the young master!”

Ying Yi preferred to take another chance, even though their previous attempts had been repelled and had nearly resulted in an injury.

Xiao Yu’s voice was cold and stern, “No! The Gu corpse swarm is controlled by someone. You’re already exhausted. Miaoyan and I, who don’t know martial arts, can’t escape. Now, we can only ensure Ningning’s safety first.”

Xiao Yu held Ningning, bowing his head to gently touch foreheads with him, “I’m sorry, child, your father couldn’t give you the best of everything.”

When Su Miaoyan was pregnant with Ningning, Xiao Yu had dreamed that his child would be the darling of his heart, would inherit the Xiao family, and would own Baili Villa and the riches of the world.

But his neglect had led his wife and child to such a desperate state, and he had already failed them.

He had to ensure a way for his child to survive.

He placed the token of the lord of the Xiao family into Ningning’s swaddling clothes and instructed Ying Yi with gravity, “Protect Ningning with Ying Er. Hurry to Jiang Du City and make sure to personally hand him to Old General Su.”

Once there, at the home of his maternal great-grandfather with Old General’s affection and Su Yingxue’s medical skills, he was certain to have a chance at life, to live well.

Ying Yi’s eyes brimmed with tears, deeply reluctant, “Young master… are you truly commanding me to leave?”

“Go! Now, while the Gu corpses have just been killed, the two of you have a chance and hope to fight your way out with Ningning.”

Xiao Yu pulled him to his feet. He drew out the white jade belt from his waist and personally strapped Ningning to Ying Yi’s chest, his eyes full of affection as he gently stroked the child, “For every day you have him, you bear a day’s responsibility. My final order: let my son survive.”

Ying Yi knelt on one knee, his loyalty firm, “Your subordinate obeys! I swear to protect the young master with my life!”

Wiping away his tears, he and Ying Er, armed with swords, rushed out towards the gorge.

Ying San was extremely worried as he returned to Xiao Yu’s side, “Young master, with just the three of us left, if the number of Gu corpses increases next time, I fear…”

They would struggle to protect Xiao Yu and Su Miaoyan.

Xiao Yu glanced at his clothes, his eyes heavy with meaning, “Next time, we will leave it to fate.”

He sat down, pulling Su Miaoyan into his embrace, gently stroking her face.

He could die, but his Miaoyan must live on.

——————

In Chu Yifeng’s residence, Chu Yihan and Su Yingxue were both deep in thought over the Xiao family’s affairs, with Su Yingxue always restless and worried about Su Miaoyan, unable to find their whereabouts.

Moreover, she noticed that the assassin from Silver Moon Pavilion had not been around her these past two days; she hadn’t felt his presence.

But Chu Yifeng was different from them.

While they were clouded with worries, Chu Yifeng enjoyed a happy time with his daughter every day.

That night, he came back with Chu Xi, who had just caught fireflies. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, Chu Xi’s laughter rang out, “Daddy, may I share some light with Ah Heng?”

Chu Yifeng kissed her, “As you like, whatever makes you happy.”

Chu Xi was about to go play with Chu Heng, but then she saw Rong Sheng, dressed in white and carrying a medicine box, walking towards them.

She and her father had just returned, but her mother seemed to be going out.

Rong Sheng walked past them, completely indifferent; even when Chu Xi softly called out to her, she didn’t respond.

Chu Xi’s heart grew even more upset, “Mommy…”

“Are you calling her?” Chu Yifeng’s eyes immediately filled with suspicion.
