Chapter 90 (1/1)

With that, the convoluted and scandalous case of the Empress who had been framed finally came to a close and Su Yi had finally co sadness in his heart aside, he was still feeling endless guilt and self-recrimination and Su Yi often had to ease his anxieties before he could even smile

On this day, the weather was sunny and cloudless When Wanyan Xu arrived at the Garden of Merri court, he found that Su Yi was nowhere to be found After questioning a palace er in the Pavilion [1] of Cold Frosts, drinking tea and playing the flute At that, he hurried off to join them However, before he was even near to the pavilion, a mellifluous tune that came from a flute wafted by his ears The sound was clear and distinct as if it had circuh the clouds He halted his steps and listened closely to the song and found that it was actually a co, it could not hold a candle to the tune that Su Yi had played in the Plum Blossom Grove on that winter's day Therefore he walked inside the building and said s is also enjoyable, it still pales in comparison with the co the red pluain for me [2] to listen to”

Su Yi ss werein my heart, which was the reason I was able to channel my emotions into the s anymore, if I were to force myself to play that tune, it would also be insipid Not tois very intense, it doesn't match the joyful scene that is in front of our eyes now,it feel even more tedious to play”

The Eer smiled and said: “Just now, I [3] had wanted hi From that, we can tell that it is really an aard request”

Before she could speak further, Zi Nong, as standing by the side, laughingly said: “Naturally, it is a difficult request to fulfill At that ti subjected to injustice, his heart nation Today, his heart is full of honey-like sweetness; of course he cannot play that tune”

When she had finished, the E palacesed to hide them behind their sleeves Only, Su Yi and Wanyan Xu were left with faces that were flushed a brilliant scarlet Wanyan Xu pretended to be offended and scolded: “Zi Nong is getting bolder and bolder, she even dares to make fun of Su Su and me” And then he said to Su Yi: “It's all because you have been spoiling her consistently Originally, she was already not someone who is easy to deal with and now she is even more undisciplined and out of control”

Su Yi game a “humph” and said: “You also know that even from the start she was already not someone who is easy to deal with? How many days has she been withherself in an unbridled fashi+on while serving you, would she be so bold now? Don't go pushi+ng all the blame on to me”

His speech left Wanyan Xu with no way to make a riposte When everybody saw that the day had coot the better of this aloof E and meant just that --- they could not help but to find the joke even funnier Even Zi Yan could not help but to wear a genuine s in her heart:Truly, there is a rock to every scissor, a scissor to every paper and a paper to every rock If I had not had the opportunity to spend so many days in his company and come to understand what sort of person he is, I think I would still not dare to let him be by His Majesty's side

As the coterie of people carried on chatting and laughing, a few palace maids delivered some freshly made snacks froer asked: “Why do we not see Shuo Er here, isn’t spending ti to do?”

Wanyan Xu laughed and said: “I think he ed Su Yi close, not caring at all that they were in the presence of others He said: “Speaking of this, I ive you my full adBut you do have this ability; truly you are worthy of being called ood wife”

Su Yi quickly pushed hi more sensible, I do not dare to take credit for his transfor else; a cheerful and lively voice could be heard co from outside: “But it is really due to Mother Empress's efforts, so why don't you dare to clainition for this ive you much thanks?” Only Wanyan Xu and Su Yi understood the double entendre that he was estive undertones hidden in his words At once, the two of them were both e with this little fellow

And so, they had their lunch sent to the Pavilion of Cold Frosts and after their meal they went back to the Garden of Merri in the reception hall for quite a while When he saw that they were back, he stood up and said: “You all are still so happy Are we still going to treat the leg or not?”

Wanyan Xu was overjoyed Rushi+ng over, he said: “Treat it, naturally we are going to treat it But didn't you say that you still needed a few more days before you can come up with a plan that was absolutely certain to be successful?”

Wanyan Xia said: “There’s no need to wait any longer, the plan has been drawn up But as I told you before, thisit, you have to stick with it till the end Su Yi, I ahness, but are you sure that you will persevere till the end?”

Not answering the question, Su Yi instead asked Wanyan Xia: “How is the rabbit that you used as a test subject? Did it die of pain?”

Wanyan Xia could not help but to let a slight smile show on his otherwise i so well that it has gotten very fat and there are no indications that there are any lingering problems”

Su Yi smiled and said: “There you have it, even a little rabbit did not die of pain Even if there is some pain, how bad can it be? Besides, it is to heal a crippled leg By itself, that is already to be considered a ht that there should be some sacrifices required to achieve this”

Wanyan Xia nodded and said: “Since you have said that, then let's begin the course of treatment today In antiquity, Guan Yu talked cheerfully and wittily while Hua Tuo scraped the poison off of his bones [4] I think your resilience will not be much less than Lord Guan’s, but I fear that there is somebody else who cannot bear it…” He look at Wanyan Xu and suddenly gave a mischievous smile and said: “You have to understand, the wound is on your body, but the pain is in somebody else’s heart”

Wanyan Xu could only give a stiff smile When he heard Wanyan Xia say that the treatan to worry and fret in his heart Looking into Su Yi's s eyes, he knew that his beloved was really unafraid But as for hiht of his Su Su having to undergo untold depths of tormentup Why, as it that even now Su Su still had to endure such suffering when obviously obviously the one who should have to suffer and endure punishment should be Wanyan Xu his of unease, distress, guilt and heartache, he went along as Su Yi and Wanyan Xia proceeded into the inner room
