Stepping through the curtain, one is met with endless darkness.

Yu Nanqing felt a tightness in his chest, and a surge of blood rushed to his head, threatening to burst from his throat. Just then, he realized that someone was holding his wrist.

“Su… Wanyan?” Almost without hesitation, he frantically grabbed that small hand, his dry voice sounding as if it had been stabbed with a knife.

Receiving no response, Yu Nanqing panicked even more, his hand holding Su Wanyan trembling: "Su Wanyan...?"

He can't see...

He can't see anything!

"Ah?" Su Wanyan was startled awake. She moved her body and suddenly screamed, "Ahhh! Help! Help! Help!"

Yu Nanqing's heart leaped into his throat. Despite still being incredibly weak, the strength in his grip on her small hand grew heavier and heavier. He suppressed the rising blood pressure in his throat, his voice filled with alarm and worry: "Su Wanyan? You... what's wrong with you?"

"Ahhh! Let go of my hand! Hurry! My hand is numb! My hand is numb!"

Not only are my hands numb, but my feet are numb, my whole body is numb, and my neck! My neck hurts so much, I have a stiff neck!!!

“…” Yu Nanqing choked.

Just now, I was feeling a bit panicked, but after Su Wanyan's outburst, that panic inexplicably subsided by a third.

He was breathing heavily and had no choice but to let go of her hand.

Her lips trembled as she said, "Su Wanyan... I... can't see anymore."

He's blind...

At this moment, Yu Nanqing felt utterly hopeless. Since becoming paralyzed, he had never complained about anything, but now…

"Nonsense." Su Wanyan grimaced, numb. "It's nighttime, who can see? I can't see either!"

Su Wanyan glanced at the night view outside the window and called out.

"..." Hearing Su Wanyan's words, Yu Nanqing's heart was filled with hope again, and his hands trembled slightly as he clenched them into fists.

"Your Majesty! What's wrong, Your Majesty? Has something happened?" Wang Zhang's voice rang out from outside. He wanted to rush in, but being a man, it was inconvenient for him.

"Come in quickly and light the candles."

Upon receiving the order, Wang Zhang hurriedly carried the candles into the room and lit them one by one.

Yu Nanqing opened her eyes, and upon seeing that light, her breath seemed to stop, as if she had forgotten how to react after being so tense.

He... isn't blind.

He saw it.

Yu Nanqing slowly let out a breath, and her bloodless face gradually calmed down.

He calmed down, but Su Wanyan couldn't. She leaned stiffly against the edge of the bed, the pain in her neck making her furrow her brow. It took her a long time to recover. She winced and gritting her teeth, muttering, "This is killing me~ This is really killing me~"

Unfortunately... Yu Nanqing still had needles stuck in her chest.

I've been wearing a brace all day.

Su Wanyan tried to reach out to pull out the needle, but the slightest movement made her feel like she was being chewed by ants: "Ahhh, I'm going to die, I'm going to die!"

Maintaining the same sleeping position all day long, it's no wonder your body goes numb.

Her neck...her neck is going to be ruined!

Yu Nanqing frowned slightly, his pale lips trembling. He had countless things he wanted to say to Su Wanyan, but seeing her making such a fuss the moment he opened his eyes, he felt that his words were no longer so important.

Su Wanyan still had her gold hairpins and pearl ornaments on her head, and she was still wearing the palace dress she had worn last night. She didn't even have time to wash up; she must be exhausted.

He reached out slightly, wanting to stroke Su Wanyan's head.

Seeing that the long shadow was about to cover her head, Su Wanyan immediately shouted, "Don't touch me!"

Su Wanyan stiffened her neck and looked up, her eyes filled with resentment: "Do you think I'm not suffering enough?"

“I…” Yu Nanqing could only silently put her hand down.

He could feel his weakness; even just raising his hand made him breathless.

After a while, Su Wanyan finally moved and pulled out the silver needles from his chest.

Yu Nanqing felt the blood and qi that had just been suppressed surge up again, but after a short while, her whole body felt as if it were unblocked, and she felt light and comfortable.

Su Wanyan felt his pulse and found that his blood and qi were still somewhat scattered and flowing away. She then took out a few more long needles and changed the acupoints to stabilize his heart pulse.

Yu Nanqing's injuries cannot be left untreated.

"Your Highness, how is the Prince...?" Wang Zhang, who was standing to the side, was so frightened by the scene just now that he dared not breathe and looked on nervously.

Yu Nanqing's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly sat up: "Why... cough cough cough cough..."

Before he could even speak, he was struck by a violent cough.

Su Wanyan was startled: "What are you doing! Lie down! Are you out of your mind?!"

Good heavens! She finally managed to calm him down, and what is Yu Nanqing trying to do!

Startled, her stiff neck ached even more, but she couldn't care less at the moment. She quickly pressed Yu Nanqing down and turned his head to one side to prevent him from spitting out blood and drowning himself!

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

Su Wanyan quickly poured a heart-protecting pill into his mouth: "Swallow!"

Yu Nanqing suppressed the rising blood pressure, pursed her lips, and swallowed the medicine.

Wang Zhang was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Highness, please don't worry, it's all the Princess's arrangement. I will explain it to you slowly, please don't worry... please don't worry..."

Heavens above!

That would be terrifying!

"...What exactly happened?"

Yu Nanqing's breathing was heavy; he was anxious to know everything.

"I'll explain to you, but don't get agitated right now." Su Wanyan's temper flared, and she ordered Wang Zhang, "You go out first."

"Hey!" Wang Zhang didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly retreated, not daring to stay for even a second longer.

Yu Nanqing stared intently in the direction Wang Zhang had left. He snapped out of his daze and was about to ask something when suddenly there was a soft "snap".

Yu Nanqing was stunned.

Su Wanyan slapped his pale face.

“You…” Yu Nanqing looked at her, puzzled.

"Be content, Yu Nanqing!" Su Wanyan said angrily, "If I wasn't afraid you'd collapse, I would have slapped you! Are you kidding me? Don't you know how you feel? Since Wang Zhang is here, there must be a reason. Why are you so agitated?"

"Has the assassination attempt gone to your head? Do you know that I saved you all night and have been guarding you here all day? Even if you don't appreciate my efforts, at least remember how hard I've worked. My life is precious too, okay?"

If he weren't still lying in bed half-dead, Su Wanyan would definitely be cursing him out. The fact that she's speaking so gently now is all thanks to his injuries!

"..." Yu Nanqing stared blankly with her mouth agape, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Looking into Su Wanyan's angry eyes, he hesitated for a long time before finally uttering two words: "I'm sorry..."

The voice was soft, weak, and feeble.

Seeing him like this, Su Wanyan couldn't get angry even if she wanted to.

He sighed and said, "Forget it, considering you're a patient, and you were once a war god who conquered all sides, what kind of big scenes haven't you seen? Don't make a fuss over this little thing. It won't be easy for you to recover from this injury, you know?"
