Across from me stood a woman, her hair disheveled, wrapped tightly in a bed sheet, her eyes blinking innocently.

He was taken aback for a moment, then a smile flashed in his eyes.

"woke up?"

As he spoke, he walked over, saying...

"Why are you at the door?"

Su Yan's voice was soft and weak.

"Hungry"

I hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and I was extremely hungry.

Without saying a word, he picked the person up in his arms and carried them to their seats.

After placing her in the seat, I casually pulled the bed sheet back up, covering her completely.

Only then did he say

"Southern Tang, prepare some food."

"Yes, Your Highness."

The Southern Tang respectfully agreed and then left.

Only Su Yan and Xuan Yuan Yong Hao remained in the bedchamber.

Unlike before, Su Yan stared longingly at Xuan Yuan Yonghao this time.

It was as if they were trying to stare a hole through him.

He looked down and met Su Yan's gaze.

"Why are you staring at me like that?"

Su Yan's eyes darted away for a moment.

"No, it's nothing."

She said in a soft voice.

Xuanyuan Yonghao raised an eyebrow as he listened.

He asked a completely unrelated question.

"You've had a good sleep and seem to have recovered pretty well."

Su Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Immediately afterwards, I heard him say

"Let's calculate how many things you destroyed this afternoon."

Su Yan remained silent, her eyes brimming with tears.

Xuanyuan Yonghao did not intend to let this matter pass so easily.

His eyes were dark as he gazed at her, a faint smile playing on his lips.

"Do you remember what you destroyed before you went to sleep?"

Su Yan thought about it carefully and seriously.

"The bed, door, marble floor, and desk in the side hall..."

She spoke slowly, one by one.

She stopped talking after a while.

"there is none left."

"really?"

"kindness"

"Did you kill Qiu Shi?"

Su Yan licked her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

A smile flickered in his eyes as he saw how honest and frank she was.

He then turned his head and pointed to the wound on his neck.

"Did you bite this?"

Then, the spot on Xuanyuan Yonghao's neck where she had bitten him was treated with medicine and scabbed over.

But judging from the gruesome state of her body, it was clear that she hadn't held back when she bit down.

Just as she was about to nod, Xuanyuan Yonghao moved closer to her.

The voice was gentle

"Dare to harm the royal family, or you will lose your head."

As he spoke, Xuanyuan Yonghao raised his hand and pointed at her head.

Su Yan listened, and then wilted for a moment.

Want to explain

"I... I only took one bite..."

I didn't mean to hurt you.

However, as soon as she finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yonghao nodded.

"This matter is separate. First, they killed my maid, and then they destroyed my side hall. Tell me, how much silver do you want to pay in compensation?"

His tone was casual, yet he pressed on relentlessly.

Su Yan became even more dejected; she had no money.

No amount of money can cover the losses.

Perhaps because they hadn't eaten, they looked extremely weak, and their listless appearance made them look rather pitiful.

At this moment, the maid had already brought the steaming hot food to the table.

Each dish is exquisite and delicious.

Xuanyuan Yonghao spoke.

"Do you still remember the purse I asked you to embroider?"

"Remember"

"If I find the embroidery acceptable after seven days, this matter will be considered closed. If I am not satisfied with it, then we will settle both the old and new scores together."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan, who had been listless, immediately perked up.

Nod.

"good"

Holding her in his arms, he smiled casually and said...

"Aren't you hungry?"

"kindness"

"Have a meal"

As soon as she finished speaking, the light in Su Yan's eyes shone even brighter.
