Seeing that both Cai Yan and her maid had woken up, Liu Wei released Cai Yan's arm.

"I know you have many questions right now, but I don't have time to explain them to you at the moment!"

After saying that, Liu Wei turned to Chen Lian and said:

"Commander Shen, let Cai Yilang in first, and have this place under my control. No one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Cai Yan was unconscious on the ground and had no idea what had just happened.

She walked nervously to Xiao Cui's side, and the two hugged each other.

Now that their identities have been exposed, this is a serious crime!

Moreover, Cai Yan slapped Liu Wei, which added to her punishment.

Furthermore, Liu Wei came to save her life, which is why he was misunderstood and beaten.

Cai Yan's face displayed a complex mix of emotions: confusion, panic, guilt, and unease.

From now on, they could only leave it to Liu Wei to decide.

Liu Wei glanced at Cai Yan briefly, then turned and left with Shen Lian.

Cai Yong was also summoned in, and upon seeing Cai Yan, he burst into tears: "Yan'er, you're awake! It's good that you're alright!"

"I was so worried outside the tent just now. Did the King of Clouds bully you?"

Cai Yan shook her head repeatedly: "No...no!"

"But I think I heard you shout 'lecherous scoundrel'."

Even without seeing what was happening inside the tent, Cai Yong could guess the general situation.

When Liu Wei left, one side of his face was bright red, as if he had been hit.

"I did curse at him and even hit him..."

Cai Yan stammered out what had just happened.

"Well, the King of Clouds was indeed saving you! Although his methods were a bit awkward, the fact that you two are awake means he did the right thing!"

When Cai Yong saw that Cai Yan and her maid had both woken up and were acting as if nothing had happened, he believed what Liu Wei had said.

"Father, our identities have been exposed, and we have offended the King of Yunzhong. Will this implicate you and affect your return to Luoyang?"

"I will apologize to King Yunzhong later. I will take responsibility for my actions and ask him not to blame his father."

Cai Yan apologized repeatedly.

"Alas, Yan'er, even without your involvement, the King of Yunzhong wouldn't have let us go so easily!"

"Why...why?"

"There was an assassin in our delegation. The palace guards and Cui Hao, the horse trader, attacked the King of Yunzhong at the banquet just now."

"Ah!" Cai Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Is the King of Yunzhong alright?"

"Of course he's alright, otherwise why would he have come to save you!"

Cai Yong said, "When he ordered his men to arrest everyone in our delegation, he found you and Xiao Cui unconscious in the tent."

"They say it's because you two have been poisoned!"

“I know a little about acupuncture and moxibustion, and I can see that you two were indeed in great danger just now.”

Only then did Cai Yan fully believe it.

"I really misunderstood him..."

For a moment, guilt filled my entire body.
