Chapter 443 Honeysuckle, My Wound Hurts

Seeing this, Chunzhi, who had originally planned to set off the next day, had to move it forward to today.

She originally thought that Tuoba Ying should hesitate. After all, it was no small matter for the Great Khan of Beili to penetrate deep into the heart of Daxing. When Chunzhi invited Tuoba Ying, she was also prepared to be rejected.

Even extending an invitation is just a way of showing hospitality.

It is understandable that the Great Chanyu of Beili would refuse.

But instead of refusing, he agreed immediately.

Chunzhi looked at Tuoba Ying and wanted to say something but swallowed it back. She told everyone to get ready and sent someone to inform Huo Yan about this matter, asking him to pack up and return to Beijing together.

Cui Er followed the order and went to inform the Ninth Prince. As soon as she reached the courtyard, she heard the Ninth Prince shouting, "Rosewood, my wound hurts."

Honeysuckle said helplessly: "Your wound has already scabbed over. It shouldn't hurt that much."

"But I just feel pain."

Huo Yan's voice sounded rather willful.

Honeysuckle said helplessly: "Then you should find another doctor. I can't cure your injury."

Ever since the day when Xizhou City was nearly breached, and Huo Yan was seriously injured when he led his men to assassinate Beizhou commander Suo Hongkai, it has been Rendong who has been treating Huo Yan.

The Ninth Prince is picky and doesn't allow other doctors to get close to him.

Honeysuckle had no choice but to endure the hardship and guard him for several days.

Only after Huo Yan's injuries stabilized did Rendong go to help the doctors treat other wounded soldiers.

Huo Yan was quite dissatisfied with this, and every time he saw Ren Dong, he would make trouble for her.

It hurts here or there, but I just can't let her leave me for too long.

Rendong didn't want to spoil Huo Yan, but he was not as fierce as before, always saying he would kill her and scare her. Instead, he looked at her pitifully.

Seeing this, Honeysuckle couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

After a few interactions, Huo Yan understood more and more that Ren Dong was a soft-hearted person and knew how to make it impossible for her to refuse his request.

Just like now, Honeysuckle asked him to change doctors.

Huo Yan said, "If you can't cure it, no one else can."

"So what exactly are you going to do?"

It seemed like Rendong was at her wit's end because of Huo Yan's pestering, so she asked this question in a good-tempered manner.

"I want you to be closer to me..."

Huo Yan lowered his voice and said this, which sounded quite tempting, and as he spoke he reached out to pull Ren Dong.

Honeysuckle slapped Huo Yan's hand away, "You——"

As soon as she said a word, Huo Yan fell out, covering his wound, "It hurts..."

Seeing this, Honeysuckle couldn't help but get anxious, "Has the wound opened again? Let me take a look!"

Huo Yan refused to let her see, "You don't care whether I live or die anyway. Go save others and don't worry about me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I not care about your life or death?"

Rendong didn't know what Huo Yan was angry about, so she directly ripped open Huo Yan's clothes. Seeing that his wound was still fine and not torn at all, she breathed a sigh of relief.

That day, Huo Yan was besieged in a rotation battle, but he refused to admit defeat and fought to the death, almost dying in front of the city gate.

Rendong witnessed that scene with her own eyes, and for several days in a row, whenever she closed her eyes, the bloody face of Huo Yan would appear in her mind.

Every time I woke up with a start, I had to check Huo Yan's breathing and feel his pulse before I could feel a little relieved.

So even though Huo Yan pretended several times and lied to her that the wound hurt, Ren Dong still fell for it every time.

Huo Yan didn't know how scared Rendong was that Huo Yan would die in front of her that day.

Huo Yan only knew that Rendong was not actually as ruthless as the plague on earth when it came to avoiding him.

Honeysuckle cares about him.

She was just scared.

Because he was so bad and evil in the past, Rendong didn't dare to like him.

You have to bear the consequences of your own sins.

Huo Yan held Ren Dong's hand and said, "It's unacceptable for you to be so frivolous with me and not take responsibility for me."

"I'm a doctor..." Honeysuckle said, "You said your wound hurts, so how can it be considered frivolous if I treat it for you?"

This Ninth Prince has completely lost all his shame in order to rely on Honeysuckle.

Cui'er walked to the window and saw this scene, and coughed twice.

Upon hearing the sound, Rendong immediately shook off Huo Yan's hand and took two steps back.

She didn't even feel comfortable looking at Cui'er. She turned sideways to the person outside the window and pretended to be busy organizing the medicine box.

Huo Yan was rather displeased that Cui Er had appeared at this moment, interrupting his and Ren Dong's private time. He asked unhappily, "You'd better have something important to say."

Cui Er said quickly, "It's a very important matter."

She said, "The emperor has passed away."

When Huo Yan heard this, he immediately sat up and his face became extremely heavy.

Before rejecting the marriage proposal, the Ninth Prince had always been the Emperor's favorite son. Even when he was defeated in Xizhou and captured by the rebels, the Emperor did not abandon him.

It was only after he disobeyed the order that he became cold towards him.

In recent years, the emperor had sixteen princes. It was always extremely rare for an old man to have a child. Huo Yan was rather coldly treated and even resented his father at times.

But now that he really heard that his father had passed away, he still felt very sad.

Cui'er observed the Ninth Prince's expression and paused before continuing, "Before the Emperor passed away, he appointed Prince Chang'an as Crown Prince. Now that the new Emperor is about to ascend the throne, he has summoned Your Highness the Ninth Prince and the Princess to the capital. They will depart today. Please make your preparations early."

After hearing this, Huo Yan did not respond for a long time.

"Ninth Prince?"

Cui'er couldn't help but call him again.

She didn't know whether Huo Yan looked like this because the emperor had passed away, or because the emperor had finally fallen into Huo Zheng's hands.

Seeing this, Honeysuckle gave Cui'er a look and asked her to go first.

Cui'er nodded. She had already conveyed the message. It was not her decision whether the Ninth Prince was willing to follow the princess to the capital. She left the place to Rendong and left first.

After Cui'er left, only Rendong and Huo Yan were left in the huge courtyard.

"Your Highness?"

Like everyone else, Rendong called Huo Yan "Your Highness".

The latter did not respond.

"Huo Yan..."

Honeysuckle called him again.

Huo Yan finally spoke in a hoarse voice: "Rosewood... My father is dead... I don't have a father anymore."

When Honeysuckle heard what he said, her heart suddenly ached uncontrollably.

At this moment, the high and mighty Ninth Prince is just a man who has lost his father.

Rendong lost both her parents when she was young and grew up with her grandfather. Later, her grandfather also passed away. She understands the feeling of losing loved ones best.

Huo Yan's eyes were red at the moment, and he was so depressed that Ren Dong couldn't leave him alone. She stepped forward and said in a gentle voice, "Everyone who comes to this world will experience birth, old age, sickness and death, and the emperor is no exception. Huo Yan, go back and see him off for the last time."

No matter what the relationship between father and son was like when they were alive, we always have to go back to see them off after they pass away.

"Honeysuckle..."

Huo Yan reached out and hugged Ren Dong, burying his head in her arms.

Honeysuckle was stunned for a moment and wanted to push him away, but at this moment she couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.

Then she heard Huo Yan ask, "Would you like to go back with me?"
