They unexpectedly transformed from fierce beings into adorable ones...
One by one, they sat in front of the Iron Cage, looking exceptionally obedient and wagging their tails at everyone...
After blowing the whistle, Xia Yuhan exerted a great deal of effort before finally speaking: "Did we win, Azure Dragon Kingdom?"
The envoys from both countries looked uncomfortable and nodded in acknowledgment. Implicitly, they accepted it. However, personally, none of them could help but admire Xia Yuhan. A mere woman possessed such remarkable abilities. Even a robust man or a warrior from their own country might not have been able to achieve such mastery in a similar situation.
In that moment, all eyes were on Xia Yuhan, filled with admiration, surprise, and hostility...
But regardless of the feelings involved, she was successful today. No one dared to stand up and resist or challenge her.
At this moment, Cang Yile took the lead and shouted: "Long live our Emperor!"
The soldiers below were filled with high spirits: "Long live our Emperor!"
"Long live our Emperor!"
"Long live our Emperor!"
At this moment, nothing could stop the morale of the Azure Dragon Kingdom's soldiers. Nothing could quell the pride swelling in their hearts.
The others felt it was deafening. The morale of the Azure Dragon Kingdom could be felt for hundreds of miles around.
Canglong Hui watched this scene in disbelief: "I never expected things would turn out this way. It was I who made Xia Yuhan successful."
The Queen scratched her head in frustration: "I still underestimated her. Truly, knowing oneself and one's enemy leads to victory in every battle."
From the moment Xia Yuhan stepped out of the cage, there was no expression on the Emperor's face. Although he had managed to protect a city and promote national prestige before both countries, it was still a woman who had caused such authority. Could this Emperor truly feel happy about that?
The soldiers continued to shout. Cang Yile calmed them down after a while, allowing everyone to take a break.
Xia Yuhan seized this opportunity. She approached the emperor, bowing with each step.
It was precisely because of this that the emperor's expression improved somewhat.
Let’s not forget, today this emperor is the main character.
It was unclear how much effort it took, but Xia Yuhan finally reached the emperor's feet and performed three deep bows before speaking to express her gratitude: "Subject Daughter Xia Yuhan thanks Your Majesty for the great fortune. Only with Your Majesty's blessing was I able to successfully complete the competition. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"
"Rise. Come here, reward her with three thousand taels of gold."
"Subject Daughter Xia Yuhan thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness. Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"
For some reason, after Xia Yuhan loudly shouted "long live," nearly a thousand guards and soldiers behind her all knelt down in unison and shouted: "Long live the Emperor, long live, long live!"
Who is the core figure of today's competition? It is Xia Yuhan.
Now even Xia Yuhan willingly kneels at the feet of this emperor. His authority is thus established, and he gains face.
He displayed a man's ambition, spreading his hands wide and gesturing for them to rise: "All my loyal subjects, rise. Furthermore, since Xia Yuhan is the daughter of General Xia, her loyalty can be demonstrated. A mere woman as fierce as a man. I hereby appoint Xia Yuhan as the first female hero of the Azure Dragon Kingdom."
"Subject Xia Yuhan thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness." This title of first female hero is merely a pleasant name. Its main purpose is to intimidate the other two nations. The emperor's move can be said to achieve two goals at once.
One cannot help but admire the wisdom that comes with age. Even if Xia Yuhan is calculating, she cannot compare to the high and bloodthirsty emperor.
After expressing her gratitude, Xia Yuhan exerted great effort to rise from the ground. Everyone, including those from the other two nations, could not help but praise her in their hearts. She did not become arrogant due to her achievements; such ability and willingness to submit made it impossible for the emperor not to be pleased.
However, she had barely stood up when she suddenly felt dizzy in front of her eyes and then fainted and collapsed to the ground.
Cang Yile, who had been guarding by the side, quickly reached out to support Xia Yuhan. Gently holding Xia Yuhan in his arms, he said, "Father, I implore you to allow me to take care of the first heroine of the Azure Dragon Kingdom."
"Go quickly and summon the imperial physician."
"Yes, I will obey your command."
At this moment, the emperor did not want anything to happen to Xia Yuhan. After all, there were things he hoped to obtain from her. Until those things were in his hands, he would never allow Xia Yuhan to die.
Seeing the emperor's demeanor, Cang Yile hurriedly called for the imperial physician and carried Xia Yuhan towards a nearby carriage.
Although Cang Yile had not fought in today's battle, his unwavering intention to protect Xia Yuhan was evident to everyone. This led many to begin questioning the rumors circulating about Cang Yile.
After all, a person who often frequented brothels would not be so deeply attached to a woman or care for her so much.
After Xia Yuhan was taken away, it wasn't long before Emperor Canglong Hui quickly rose and headed towards the palace. The crowd followed closely behind, and soon a large portion of the people in the venue dispersed.
Jiang Tingyu watched the heart-stopping scenes unfold before him and let out a sigh of relief as things settled down. "Truly a blessing for the Azure Dragon Kingdom. A blessing for Yu Han."
The steward blinked in surprise at this situation and asked, "My lord, aren't we going to follow them?"
"No. We will return to the residence later," Jiang Tingyu replied with a look of disappointment. He could not allow Xia Yuhan to become an enemy in the eyes of other young ladies. He could not let the other two kingdoms see how deeply he cared for Xia Yuhan.
"But... my lord..." The steward sighed again. "My lord, this time it won't be someone waiting there just to report back to you, will it?"
Jiang Tingyu slightly turned around and looked at the steward with a strange expression. "What? Do you have an opinion? If you have an opinion, then that's good."
"What?" The steward was taken aback but did not receive the answer he wanted as Jiang Tingyu turned and continued to leave.
With no choice left, the steward scratched his head in resignation and sighed internally for Jiang Tingyu. He didn't understand what his master was concerned about. If it were him, he would have confessed his feelings for Xia Yuhan countless times by now.
Inside the carriage, Cang Yile anxiously called out Xia Yuhan's name: "Yu Han. More chapters can be found quickly. Wake up. You can't sleep like this. Stay awake..."
Unfortunately, no matter how much he shouted, it was of no use. Looking at the previously lively Yu Han, who now lay weakly in his arms, he felt a surge of anxiety. When he saw Li Taiyi carrying a medical kit onto the carriage, he hurriedly urged, "Li Taiyi, please come and take a look quickly."
"Yes, I will obey your command. Fortunately, this carriage is spacious enough. We can lay Second Sister flat. Let me first check what injuries Second Sister has sustained."
"Li Taiyi, there's no need to be polite. Please treat Yu Han as soon as possible."
With that, Cang Yile gently laid Xia Yuhan down and called for a servant to bring clean water and a wet towel. He carefully wiped Xia Yuhan's body.
Li Taiyi was the head of the Imperial Medical Institute. Years ago, he had been saved by Cang Yile when his entire family was in danger. Therefore, he was genuinely grateful to Cang Yile. This time, he finally had an opportunity to repay that kindness and would not take it lightly.
"Your Highness, since ancient times it has been inappropriate for men and women to have close contact. I'm afraid this may not be proper for you, Your Highness. It could damage your reputation."
Upon hearing this, Cang Yile suddenly realized: "Thank you for the reminder, Li Taiyi. I almost let Yu Han's reputation suffer again. However, I only have a passing acquaintance with Li Taiyi. Why are you so concerned about me? Don't you know that I am merely a prince abandoned by my father?"
Seeing that Cang Yile had no recollection of him at all, Li Taiyi could only let it go. After all, this was not the time for storytelling.
However, thinking back on it now made sense. When Prince Yile saved his family years ago, the prince was only about ten years old; how could he remember events from that time clearly?
Thus, Li Taiyi simply smiled slightly and moved on: "Your Highness, allow me to report later. Right now, treating the patient is the priority."
"Then I will trouble you, Li Taiyi."
"Your Highness is being too polite; this is what I should do." With that, he skillfully began to check Xia Yuhan's pulse.
Cang Yile took this opportunity to call in his most trusted Qing'er, who had disguised herself as a maid to come and assist him.
Originally, Qing'er had serious dissatisfaction with Xia Yuhan, believing her abilities were nothing special. However, after witnessing Xia Yuhan's bravery and combat skills today, which were on par with any man, her attitude towards Xia Yuhan changed. It was at this moment that she realized her master's judgment was not superficial; he had already seen Xia Yuhan's exceptional qualities.
However, it was now Cang Yile who was surprised: "Today, our Qing'er is reacting so calmly. It's not like the emotional outbursts I saw before."
"Your Highness, this is what Qing'er should do." She lowered her head to hide her feelings of disappointment and carefully climbed into the carriage, taking care of Xia Yuhan.
With Qing'er's care, Cang Yile felt reassured standing outside the carriage.
Inside the carriage, Qing'er had just wiped Xia Yuhan's face with a basin of clean water when she noticed it was already flushed red. "This won't do. We need to find a safe riverside. Second Sister needs clean water right now."
Upon hearing this outside, Cang Yile immediately drove the carriage: "Qing'er, hold on a little longer. This King will take you to find a water source."
There was still a long way to go to the outskirts of the capital. If they wanted to reach the city in time, they could only look for a nearby water source. Fortunately, there was indeed a stream nearby, which led towards Xia Yang Village.
Thinking of this, Cang Yile relied on his vague memories of the area and anxiously drove the carriage toward the water source.
Inside the carriage, Li Taiyi was busy and flustered because Xia Yuhan was covered in blood. With her bright red clothing making it even harder to discern where her injuries were located, it became increasingly difficult to assess her condition.
