The butler helplessly grimaced, wanting to say something, but ultimately held his tongue. His master was becoming increasingly difficult to understand!
At that moment, an excited voice came from inside the room: "Yu Han, Yu Han, are you awake?"
Jiang Tingyu and the butler both sighed in relief upon hearing this, but Jiang Tingyu still did not enter the room. Instead, he said something that left the butler greatly frustrated: "Jiang, let's go back to the manor."
"What? Didn't you wait all this time just for this moment? Why not go in?" The butler was completely baffled by Jiang Tingyu's behavior. "How about we go in and take a look?"
"No, Jiang Tingyu is very tired. Let's return to the manor!"
Without further ado, he headed towards the gate of Xia Manor. The butler had no choice but to follow him; he truly could not understand his master. Clearly caring yet refusing to show it, clearly concerned yet acting indifferent!
...
Tonight's night sky was exceptionally bright, as if it had cleared away all the clouds and removed the gloom from those who admired the moon...
Inside the room, a gentle atmosphere enveloped them. Cang Yile looked at Xia Yuhan as she awakened and cried like a child.
"Yu Han, I really didn't know what I would do if you didn't wake up!"
"Why is the prince crying so sorrowfully? Yu Han is fine; I'm just too tired and didn't want to wake up. I really want to keep sleeping like this. But if I keep sleeping, I'll just have to endure sad dreams..."
Just as Xia Yuhan had awakened, her lips were very dry. Cang Yile personally brought her warm water and gently moistened her dry lips with a little water. His attentive care moved Xia Yuhan deeply.
It was wonderful; she wasn't the most unfortunate one in this world. At least there was someone who cared for her and protected her—this made it all worthwhile.
"You've worked hard, my prince..."
"Foolish, This King is not suffering; This King just wants you to wake up!"
Xia Yuhan squinted her eyes slightly, her face pale: "My lord, Yu Han likes you, but Yu Han cannot marry you. Because, Yu Han's body..."
Cang Yile quickly grasped her hand tightly: "Yu Han, it's okay. There are some things that This King wants to find a good time to explain everything to you one by one. At that time, Yu Han must forgive This King!"
Xia Yuhan thought it was nothing serious and smiled casually, not taking it to heart: "My lord, I want to drink some hot water."
"Alright, wait for me; This King will get it right away!" After saying that, Cang Yile swiftly turned around. If he delayed even a moment, his woman would not be able to drink water. "Actually, the ones who are suffering the most are Physician and Li Taiyi. They have been searching day and night for a remedy for the Wolf Venom in your body. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, they haven't completely cleared the Wolf Venom from you yet. This King is very worried!"
When Cang Yile turned around again, he was shocked to find Xia Yuhan doing something quite astonishing!
He quickly put down the cup in his hand and rushed to the front of Xia Yuhan's bed: "Yu Han, what are you doing?"
Xia Yuhan seemed calm and indifferent: "Did my lord not say that Yu Han was still affected by the Wolf Venom? I'm just detoxifying."
What she referred to as detoxifying was merely injecting herself in the buttocks.
"But... but what is this?" Every time Cang Yile spent time with Xia Yuhan, he always encountered strange things and felt that she was not an ordinary person.
"Oh... these are things my mother left for me." Xia Yuhan casually made up an excuse to cover it up. For now, she did not want to reveal her identity.
After a long silence in the room, Cang Yile finally spoke: "If you don't want to do it, just say so directly. Why deceive This King? When have you ever seen This King ask you about these things?"
Xia Yuhan silently put away the needle: "I'm mainly worried about Evil Master Zhangmen. I feel like he won't leave so easily after being gone for so long. What if he comes back and kills us? Until I uncover the truth, I don't want to die."
Cang Yile's deep eyes gradually dimmed. Evil Master Zhangmen was him; there was nothing good left, only fear that Xia Yuhan would no longer pay attention to her. She could only find a suitable time and place to clarify things.
"Yu Han, since you are awake, then This King can also go about his business with peace of mind. Father's Fiftieth Birthday Celebration will be here soon, and This King does not want to remain silent forever!"
"Does the prince intend to find a way to stay in the capital?"
"This time, This King not only wants to stay in the capital but also to gain the support of a faction here."
"But prince, your strength is limited..."
"Alright, Yu Han, you need not worry about This King. My master will always be by your side to protect you! And don't forget, Yu Han, you are already This King's person!"
After that, Cang Yile hurriedly left, while Xia Yuhan's face suddenly turned hot. She picked up the jade pendant that she had been holding in her palm and happily played with it, feeling her pain ease a little.
If only it could always be like this...
Not long after Cang Yile left, Qing'er came cautiously to take care of Xia Yuhan and kept her company.
"By the way, Qing'er, how is Madam? Sister Wan'er suddenly lost her mind; it must have been a huge blow to her."
"Second Sister, why do you care about them? Think about how they teamed up with outsiders to bully you back then. They are getting what they deserve! It's only right that they are bullied by the servants at Xia Manor. Now, Qing'er feels pleased seeing them being mistreated and neglected!"
"Qing'er, can you help me get up and walk around? I've slept too long; my limbs feel numb."
Qing'er saw through Xia Yuhan's thoughts at a glance: "Second Sister wants to go see Madam? But it's already late at night!"
"But Yu Han can't sleep now, and knowing about this makes it even harder to sleep! Right now, Xia Manor is under Yu Han's management. If Yu Han allows the servants to do what Madam did to Yu Han back then, then how is Yu Han any different from Madam?"
Qing'er did not expect Xia Yuhan to have such a broad mind, but she still reminded her: "She was once your enemy. If you show sympathy to your enemy, and one day Second Sister you fall from grace, the outcome could very well be that you are once again trampled underfoot by her."
Xia Yuhan struggled to sit up from the bed: "Qing'er, you are absolutely right, but she is only a former enemy now. They currently have no leverage to oppose me, Xia Yuhan. So why shouldn't I spare them? If it really comes to that, if Madam bites back at me, then I can only accept it! However, speaking of which, I fear that with Madam's temperament, she won't appreciate this favor from Yu Han!"
The entire Xia Manor was engulfed in sorrow due to Xia Yuhan's injury, so late at night, no one could sleep well. Moreover, upon hearing that the guards at Xia Yuhan's door had awakened Second Sister, everyone was quite excited. After all, only when Second Sister was in charge did they feel treated like human beings.
So when someone heard that Second Sister was getting up to take a walk, almost all the resting servants got up. They hurried to wait outside Xia Yuhan's room with great care.
Just then, as Xia Yuhan stepped out of her room, she saw people outside in three layers—three layers deep were all people—"What merit do I, Xia Yuhan, have to warrant such a grand display from so many people?"
"Second Sister may not know this, but everyone in the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom knows about your heroic deeds at the hunting grounds!"
"Yes, yes! After the envoy from the Northern Kingdom returned home, they immediately withdrew their troops from our Azure Dragon Kingdom!"
"If it weren't for you, Second Sister, our Azure Dragon Kingdom would probably still be engaged in fierce battles with the Northern Barbarians, and we wouldn't know how many sons of families would be forced to the front lines to die in vain!"
"Second Sister, you may not know this, but the once covetous Southern Kingdom has also withdrawn their troops from the border!"
"…"
In this way, as Xia Yuhan listened to everyone speaking one after another, she felt somewhat dazed. It seemed like the person they were talking about was not her but someone else. After all, she had only acted in self-defense; if it weren't for her life being at stake, would she have fought so desperately?
Xia Yuhan looked skeptically at Qing'er, since this Qing'er was close to Cang Yile, and wouldn't lie to her.
Qing'er understood and gently nodded, indicating to Xia Yuhan that what they said was true. This made Xia Yuhan somewhat believe their words.
After a while, seeing that they were almost done, Xia Yuhan symbolically nodded, intending to let everyone disperse. However, at that moment, a crazy woman burst in, shouting loudly.
It seemed to be the mad Xia Wan'er.
"Zhi Tao, has Sister Wan'er's madness been cured?"
"In response to Second Sister, Zhi Tao hears the Physician say that it would be very difficult to cure Eldest Sister's madness."
Xia Yuhan looked at Xia Wan'er with sympathy. A person who used to care so much about her appearance was now appearing disheveled and mad in front of everyone. One feared that even if her madness were cured one day, she would still go mad again.
There is a saying that is indeed true: good begets good, and evil begets evil; evil people will eventually receive their due retribution.
Because Xia Yuhan did not speak up to stop Xia Wan'er, she rushed right up to Xia Yuhan. When she faced Xia Yuhan directly, her expression was quite terrifying; her once beautiful face had turned hideous: "Xia... Xia Yuhan, you scoundrel! Just wait until I kill you!"
Xia Yuhan could only smile wryly. Although she was mad, her hatred had not been forgotten. How much hatred did she have?
