Feng Yili slowly opened his eyes, revealing his cold gaze. However, the ice thawed when he sensed a familiar presence at the side. He slowly got up. He was still in pain, but it was not as excruciating as before. He slowly looked to the side and saw two figures sleeping by the bed. The moonlight helped him to see the scene before him clearly.
Yu Junjin was nestled in Yu Yunxi’s arms, and her chin was resting on his head. The two of them were sleeping quietly.
His gaze turned gentle immediately seeing the people he loved most in his life by his side. However, his eyes darkened when he recalled the continuous injuries he had brought to the both of them.
He slowly got up before he picked Yu Yunxi and the little bun up, placing them on the bed. Then, he sat by the bed and quietly watched their sleeping faces.
In Shen Hezhi’s room.
A secret guard reported the general situation to Shen Hezhi.
Shen Hezhi was silent for a long time after listening to the report. Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief. He murmured, “So Feng Yili is indeed worthy of us entrusting Yunxi and Junjin to him… In that case, even if I have to leave suddenly, I can leave in peace…”
“Young Master!”
The secret guards present were anxious when they heard his words.
Shen Hezhi coughed violently, shaking his head at them. He covered his mouth to muffle the sound of his cough. When he recovered, he said with a bitter smile, “I know my own body. The only thing I can do now is make arrangements before I die…’
He looked down at his hands, and they were covered in blood.
The secret guards’ expressions were grim when they discovered that Shen
Hezhi had coughed up blood. One of them rose to his feet and said, “Young Master, I’ll go look for the County Princess now.”
Shen Hezhi said sternly, “Stop. Don’t look for her. I should’ve died three years ago. She spent so much effort to keep me alive. She’s already exhausted by the recent events. I don’t want her to worry about my health anymore.”
“But, Young Master…” the secret guard said. He could not stop his voice from trembling.
“Life and death are up to fate. I’m already prepared. However, I won’t die so easily with Nanyue staring at us covetously,” Shen Hezhi said as his eyes glinted coldly. He asked, “What’s the situation with Nanyue?”
“Due to their Crown Prince’s injury, they’ve retreated ten miles away,” the secret guard quickly replied.
“Don’t let your guard down. Have you prepared the things I told you to prepare?”
“Yes, everything’s ready…”
“That’s good.’
Shen Hezhi sighed with a complicated expression on his face. He did not know if he could hold on until Nanyue was driven away or if he could hold on until that person came into power. Once that person came into power, his parents would be able to relax and enjoy their old age.
Shen Hezhi looked at the tree by the window. The tree was planted by Yu Yunxi three years ago when he was recuperating after narrowly escaping death. She had told him that patients should look at something vibrant so they could recover faster.
Suddenly, Shen Hezhi asked hoarsely, “Do you think that tree is about to wither?”
The two secret guards frowned.
“Young Master, it’s almost autumn. It’s normal for the leaves to fall…”
“Yes, it’s normal for them to fall…” Shen Hezhi murmured as emotions surged in his eyes.
When Luo Xiuran and Liu Xiaolan came to see Feng Yili, they were stopped by Qian Ji. Helpless, they could only leave first.
When Liu Xiaolan returned to the courtyard, the door of the room next to his suddenly swung open.
“Miss Liu, how’s the Prince Regent? How’s Yunxi?” Jian Xin asked worriedly. She was only dressed in a thin robe.
Qian Qing was her sister after all. It was only natural that she knew about what happened. She had long treated Yu Yunxi as her sister so it was also natural that she was worried.
When Liu Xiaolan saw how casually and thinly Jian Xin was dressed, his face flushed red. He really wanted to say, “What a disgrace!”
However, he remembered that he was currently pretending to be a woman. As such, Jian Xin could not be blamed for being dressed in such a manner when they were sharing a courtyard.
Liu Xialan cleared his throat awkwardly. His eyes darted all over the place as he stammered, “S-she, she saved him. They’re both fine.”
“Miss Liu, do you feel unwell too?” Jian Xin asked worriedly when she saw him like that.
“No, no, I’m fine,” Liu Xiaolan hurriedly said, shaking his head. He could not wait to escape into his room at this moment. He was older than her, but he had to address her as ‘Sister Jian’. Not only that, but she was dressed so thinly.
Alas, before he could escape, Jian Xin stopped him.
“Wait a minute, Miss Liu. You didn’t bring any luggage with you, right? I saw that you only have one change of clothes in your room. It’s not enough. Lady Shen has already told me to prepare clothes for you. Wait here. I’ll get them for you.”
After that, Jian Xin returned to her room to get the clothes.
“No, no, there’s no need to go through so much trouble,” Liu Xiaolan said awkwardly, but he could not stop Jian Xin at all.
Jian Xin soon returned with a thick stack of clothing. She walked to the door of his room and said, “Miss Liu, please open the door.”
“O-okay…”
Since there was nothing he could do, Liu Xiaolan could only obey Jian Xin, hoping that the latter would leave as soon as possible after delivering the clothes.
Jian Xin carried the clothes in and placed them on the bed. Then, she handed something to him as she said, “By the way, I also prepared this for you.” “W-what’s this?” Liu Xiaolan asked with a strange expression.
“You… You don’t know what this is?” Jian Xin’s expression also turned strange.
‘What? What is it?’
Jian Xin sighed slightly. “I heard that martial arts practitioners spend most of their time on the mountain and are isolated from the world. Perhaps you have a different way of dealing with these things. This is for you to use when it’s that time of the month…
IT-that, that time of the month?’
Liu Xiaolan’s face twisted into a very unsightly expression as he said stiffly,
“Oh, oh, so that’s how you deal with it here…’
“It’s getting late. I won’t disturb you any longer, Miss Liu. You should rest as soon as possible,” Jian Xin said softly before she left.
Liu Xiaolan finally sighed in relief.
However, just as Jian Xin was about to cross the threshold, she suddenly turned around and said in a slightly pitiful tone, “Miss Liu, if you don’t know how to use it, you can look for me. I’ll teach you.”
“Okay,” Liu Xiaolan replied stiffly. At this moment, he considered leaving the King of Xinan’s Residence tonight…
