Phoenix Dance: The Eldest Daughter's Physician Consort Shocks the World

Night fell over the small courtyard, and the moonlight, like water, shone on the two people standing opposite each other by the window.

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, looking at Su Yao, his voice low and firm: "Yao'er, this matter is too dangerous, I absolutely cannot let you take it. The forces in the court are deeply entrenched, and if we are not careful, we will be doomed."

Su Yao tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with stubbornness: "Yi Chen, now that I've decided to travel with you, how could I be afraid of this danger? We've been through so much together, don't you understand my feelings?"

Xiao Yichen felt a warmth in his heart. He reached out and gently stroked Su Yao's face, saying softly, "How could I not know your feelings? It is precisely because of this that I must protect you even more. Your medical skills are superb, and you can save people from illness. You should not be involved in the disputes of the court."

Su Yao grasped Xiao Yichen's hand, her gaze intense: "Yichen, I studied medicine to help people and save lives. What you are doing now is also for the sake of the world. How can I stand aside? If you don't let me go with you this time, then I will go and investigate on my own. Even if you are angry, I will not hesitate."

Xiao Yichen sighed helplessly and gently embraced Su Yao: "Your stubborn nature makes me both love and feel helpless. Fine, but you must stay close to me and not act on your own."

Su Yao leaned against Xiao Yichen's chest, a smile playing on her lips: "I knew you would agree. Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

A few days later, the two disguised themselves and mingled into a bustling street in the capital. The area was teeming with people of all kinds, making it an ideal place to gather information.

Xiao Yichen had sharp eyes and was observing the surrounding movements, while Su Yao followed closely beside him, carrying a medicine box and pretending to be a female doctor traveling the world.

Suddenly, Xiao Yichen saw a familiar figure flash by. His expression hardened, and he whispered to Su Yao, "Yao'er, stay close to me." Then he chased after the figure.

The two weaved through the streets and alleys, eventually arriving at a secluded courtyard. Xiao Yichen gestured for Su Yao to hide to the side, while he quietly approached the courtyard gate, listening intently to the sounds inside.

Faint conversation could be heard from inside: "How's that matter going? The higher-ups are pressing us hard, there can't be any mistakes."

"Rest assured, sir, everything is proceeding according to plan. However, Xiao Yichen seems to have noticed something and has been secretly investigating recently."

"Hmph, Xiao Yichen, if he dares to ruin our plans, don't blame us for being impolite. We must find a way to hold him off and not let him ruin our grand scheme."

Hearing these conversations, Xiao Yichen was filled with rage. How dare these people plot such a heinous crime in the dark? He clenched his fists and was about to rush in when Su Yao grabbed him.

Su Yao said softly, "Yi Chen, don't be impulsive. We are outnumbered and outmatched. Let's go back and discuss this further."

Xiao Yichen suppressed his anger, nodded, and the two quietly left the courtyard.

Back at his residence, Xiao Yichen paced back and forth, his face full of worry: "Yao'er, their plan seems to be about to be implemented. We don't have much time left. We must find evidence as soon as possible and expose their conspiracy."

Su Yao poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Yichen, comforting him, "Yichen, don't worry. Didn't we get some clues today? As long as we follow this lead, we'll definitely find evidence."

Xiao Yichen took the tea, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at Su Yao firmly, saying, "Yao'er, it's so good to have you by my side. But the road ahead will be even more difficult. Are you afraid?"

Su Yao smiled slightly, her eyes filled with fearlessness: "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

In the days that followed, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao went out to investigate even more frequently, visiting people with knowledge of the situation and collecting evidence. However, as the investigation deepened, danger drew ever closer.

One day, they were attacked by a group of men in black on their way. These men in black were highly skilled in martial arts, and every move they made was deadly.

Xiao Yichen shielded Su Yao behind him and drew his sword to engage in a desperate battle with the man in black: "Yao'er, be careful!"

Su Yao also took out a dagger from the medicine box and warily observed the surrounding situation: "Yi Chen, I won't be a burden to you."

Xiao Yichen used all his skills, but gradually became overwhelmed and suffered several injuries. Seeing this, Su Yao was extremely anxious and rushed forward without thinking, stabbing one of the men in black with a dagger.

The man in black dodged to the side and swung his hand back. Su Yao couldn't dodge in time and her arm was slashed.

Seeing this, Xiao Yichen roared and his swordsmanship became even more ferocious, finally driving the man in black back.

He quickly turned around and hugged the injured Su Yao: "Yao'er, how are you? It's all my fault, I didn't protect you well."

Su Yao was pale, but she forced herself to comfort him despite the pain, saying, "I'm fine, it's just a minor injury. Yi Chen, we can't give up like this."

Looking into Su Yao's determined eyes, Xiao Yichen was filled with emotion and guilt: "Okay, let's continue."

After this attack, Xiao Yichen became even more cautious. He knew that the enemy had begun to target them, and they had to speed things up.

Finally, after several days of investigation, they found crucial evidence that was enough to uproot the cancer in the court.

Xiao Yichen, accompanied by Su Yao, presented the evidence to the Emperor. The Emperor was furious and ordered an immediate investigation and severe punishment for the treacherous officials.

With the matter resolved, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao breathed a sigh of relief. However, their relationship faced a new test.

The Emperor was very satisfied with Xiao Yichen's performance and intended to marry the princess to him in order to win him over to serve the court.

Upon learning of this, Xiao Yichen was thrown into turmoil. He loved Su Yao; how could he marry a princess?

He went to the palace to meet the emperor and expressed his feelings: "Your Majesty, I already have someone I love, and I will marry no one but her in this life. I hope Your Majesty will rescind your decree."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face darkened: "Xiao Yichen, you should think this through. This is an opportunity that so many people would kill for."

Xiao Yichen knelt on the ground and said firmly, "Your Majesty, my mind is made up. I humbly beg Your Majesty to grant my request."

The Emperor pondered for a moment, then finally nodded: "Very well, since you are so persistent, I will not make things difficult for you. But you must serve the court even more diligently in the future."

Xiao Yichen was overjoyed and, after expressing his gratitude, hurriedly left the palace to find Su Yao.

Upon learning of this, Su Yao's eyes filled with tears: "Yi Chen, I thought I was going to lose you."

Xiao Yichen hugged Su Yao tightly: "Silly girl, I said I would only love you in this life, and no one can separate us."

From then on, Xiao Yichen and Su Yao went through thick and thin together, and their love story became a popular tale among the people, a beautiful example of love that people aspire to.
