Seeing this situation, Xia Yuhan bent down with difficulty and respectfully helped Sun Liuxiang, who was prostrate on the ground, to her feet. "Sister, please get up. I didn't mean to startle you today. You have made great sacrifices for Xia Manor. Daddy will not treat you unfairly. Even before Daddy returned, he was already thinking about your marriage; it was just that he got busy with official matters and delayed it..."
General Xia's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes! Finding a good match for Sun Liuxiang would be a great reward for her! How did he not think of this sooner?
Moreover, Xia Yuhan had opened the conversation for him, avoiding awkwardness between them. At this point, he couldn't help but look at Xia Yuhan with newfound respect. "Liu Xiang, Yu Han is right. This general has been busy looking for a good match for you. How about this: within three months, I promise to help you with this matter. What do you think?"
Sun Liuxiang, who had been feeling regretful in her heart, was overjoyed upon hearing General Xia's words. This is wonderful! If she finds a good match in the future, Madam will not easily target her or Sun Mansion!
"Liu Xiang thanks the general!"
Unintentionally revealing a grateful smile, General Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Sun Liuxiang was satisfied with this decision. He had finally stabilized this major hidden danger!
Although Sun Liuxiang had a bit of a temper, she was also clever and knew how to calculate things. To reassure General Xia, she added, "Liu Xiang was startled today and will forget everything that happened... I need to update General Xia immediately; Liu Xiang feels unwell and wonders if I can return to my room to rest first?"
General Xia nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, go ahead, Liu Xiang! You have worked hard today!"
Xia Yuhan watched Sun Liuxiang's gradually receding figure and listened to the increasingly faint noise coming from the front yard. She looked up at the temporarily clear sky above her head and sighed: A storm is about to come...
Then she felt a haze before her eyes and collapsed straight down...
"Yu Han! Yu Han! Are you okay? Someone, quickly call the best doctor in the capital!" Seeing that Xia Yuhan was unwell, General Xia hurriedly supported the unconscious Xia Yuhan while quickly carrying her into the room and instructing the servants to summon a doctor.
In her dazed state, Xia Yuhan felt as if she was lying in a broad and warm embrace, and then she completely lost consciousness due to pain.
For the next few days, Xia Yuhan remained in a deep sleep. She was unaware that during this time, the entire capital had once again become "noisy," and rumors about her, Xia Yuhan, were swirling around the city once more.
The esteemed Gentlemen of the capital, who were revered by the citizens, have all shut themselves away and made no statements. Without the "words" of the Gentlemen to guide them, there are now many more favorable opinions regarding Xia Yuhan than before...
Isn't all of this a result of the personal intervention of the Right Chancellor of the Azure Dragon Kingdom, who spoke on behalf of Xia Yuhan? Because of the Right Chancellor's involvement, this matter has even reached the Emperor's ears...
...
At this moment, within the Dragon Radiance Prince's Mansion, Canglong Hui was once again throwing things in his study.
“Useless! Useless! A bunch of useless people! You can't even find out who the adulterer is; what use is it for me to keep you?”
The guards sprawled on the ground, who were Canglong Hui's Royal Guard, replied, “My lord, we have received news from the Mistress of the Misty Rain Tower. It is indeed true that someone has taken advantage of Xia Yuhan's innocence, but according to the Mistress of the Misty Rain Tower, the man wore a conical hat when he arrived and left like a gust of wind.”
“Our subordinates also learned that someone secretly instructed the Mistress of the Misty Rain Tower to send someone to follow that man's whereabouts afterward, but because his martial arts are too high, they lost track of him shortly after he left Yanyu Tower!”
Upon hearing this, Canglong Hui smashed a valuable ceramic piece into pieces with a loud crash: “In that case, isn't this matter even harder to handle? Are you all planning to tell me that you can't find the adulterer? Is the case going unresolved?”
Hearing Canglong Hui's extremely angry voice, the guards prostrated on the ground broke out in cold sweat: “We dare not, we will do our utmost to find this man!”
Canglong Hui angrily walked up to the kneeling guards and slapped their heads one by one: “You will definitely find that man? Is that just a dream? How long has it been? After my father learned about this matter, he was very angry. Do you think you still have time to find the adulterer before my father gets angry at me?”
“Subordinate... subordinate…”
“Shut up! You must find this man within three days! Even if he is not the adulterer, you must make him appear as one!”
"Yes, I will obey!"
Canglong Hui looked at them with irritation. Seeing that they were slow to leave, he impatiently kicked one of the kneeling guards: "Go, go, go! Tell your Captain of Guards to come over as soon as he finishes with my matters!"
"Yes! I take my leave!" With that, the group scurried away from Canglong Hui's study.
As soon as those guards left, the Captain of Guards hurried in: "My Lord, you called for me?"
"Is there any news from over there?" As he spoke, Canglong Hui irritably pushed over a bookshelf.
After bowing to Canglong Hui, the Captain of Guards replied, "Reporting to My Lord, Xia Yuhan has been unconscious for four nights after being beaten by General Xia and has yet to awaken. Cang Yile is being chased around the imperial residence by a White-Haired Old Man and shows no signs of abnormality. As for the Right Chancellor... everything is as usual! None of my men saw anyone visiting the Right Prime Minister's Residence during this time, nor did they see the Right Chancellor coming in or out of his residence."
Upon hearing this, Canglong Hui disdainfully reclined on a chair in his study: "As for Cang Yile, he just returned to court and has no power at all; we can set him aside for now. However, he dares to act so boldly against me; I will not let him have an easy time! But what about Jiang Tingyu? Don't you think it's too unusual for him to be so quiet? There must be something going on!"
The Captain of Guards bowed slightly and respectfully replied: "My Lord, I have also heard from the guards about the investigation into Xia Yuhan's case. It is clear that someone has set a trap intentionally. Moreover, the Mistress of the Misty Rain Tower could not accurately describe that man's appearance, making it extremely difficult to find the 'adulterer.'"
Canglong Hui raised an eyebrow and casually scanned the Captain of Guards: "If that's the case, do you have any good strategies?"
"My Lord, those experts from Yanyu Tower are all highly skilled. If that person easily lost track of Yanyu Tower's enforcers, then others would also be unable to follow him and wouldn't know his specific appearance. Although we currently lack evidence, it doesn't mean we don't have suspects! My Lord, why don't we..."
At this point, the Captain of Guards leaned closer and whispered into Canglong Hui's ear about what he had in mind.
"Good! Excellent! Let's do it this way! Quickly go prepare!"
Seeing Canglong Hui's tone filled with admiration, the Captain of the Guards finally relaxed his tense nerves and once again bowed to Canglong Hui: "Yes, Your Highness! I take my leave!"
After the Captain left, a sly smile appeared on Canglong Hui's face: Hmph! Cang Yile, what ability do you have to compete with This King? Just wait, the one who laughs last will definitely be This King. How dare you think you can vie for the throne with me?

Inside Cang Yile's residence. For more chapters, please visit.
An old man with white hair was chasing a young man with black hair, running wildly around the courtyard, causing screams wherever they went.
"Master, how long do you plan to keep this up?"
As Cang Yile spoke, the old man deliberately brushed past a maid carrying a teapot...
Then came a sharp scream followed by a clattering sound. The old man continued to chase Cang Yile as if nothing had happened, laughing heartily without a hint of concern on his face.
"Oh dear, oh dear, my Disciple, your household is just too boring! They get knocked over and don’t even resist; it’s no fun at all, really no fun!"
Cang Yile had a black line on his face: "Then does that mean you have the energy to chase me?"
The old man shouted while chasing: "Who told you to be so entertaining? Let me play with you for a while~~~~"
As he spoke, the old man had already caught up to Cang Yile, placing an old hand on Cang Yile's shoulder: "To be my wicked Disciple is truly your honor! Ha ha! Ha ha!"
After laughing, the old man glanced around and lowered his voice to tease, "Good Disciple, you've been out every night lately. Are you visiting your Wife? From what I see, that Wife is quite something, taking on a group of old men all by herself! How amusing!"
Mentioning this made Cang Yile feel overwhelmed: Are you still my master? Disciple is just gathering intelligence at night; you’ve turned it into something else!
Suppressing his displeasure, he grinned and said, "Master, Master's Wife wrote to Disciple yesterday..."
The old man's eyes lit up, interrupting Cang Yile: "Ah-ha? Really? Has your Master's Wife come to her senses? Is she no longer angry with me?"
Cang Yile raised a finger, shaking it while smiling in a devilish and wicked manner. If a woman saw him like this, she would surely be captivated: "No! No! It's not like that at all, Master. The truth is that Master's Wife wants Disciple to keep an eye on things and see if this master is worth forgiving! Yes, that's exactly what Master's Wife said in the letter!"
Upon hearing this, the old man jumped up excitedly and laughed foolishly: "Worth it, worth it! Disciple is the best! Right? Ahem... Well then, I’ll just disappear now! Hehe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man vanished without a trace...
Watching the old man's comical retreating figure, Cang Yile couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated: "This Master's Wife really is all-powerful! Why didn't I think of this sooner?"
While sighing to himself, he casually scanned the hidden spies around him. Cang Yile decisively turned around; when those spies couldn't see his expression, he smiled coldly...
