Sang Shijing felt that the day had passed very long.
Finally, upon hearing a sound from outside the courtyard, Sang Shijing's eyes lit up, and he quickly gathered up all the Xuan paper on the table.
He sat near the stairs with a book in his hand, but he was absent-minded, constantly listening to the sounds coming from downstairs.
After all four of them had bathed and changed, Li Yunyan, supported by Li Congzuo and Li Congzhong, hopped up the stairs.
Jiang Shi, who looked anxious, followed behind.
Sang Shijing's face froze instantly, his expression darkened, and anger welled up in his eyes.
"What happened?"
Sang Shijing's voice was filled with suppressed anger. Li Yunyan noticed his emotions in time and quickly said, "Young Master, you mustn't get angry right now!"
A sudden pang of sadness welled up in his heart. Even in her condition, her primary concern was her own health.
I couldn't help but feel even more sorry for her.
Sang Shijing took a few deep breaths, his gentle voice carrying a hint of coldness: "I'm not angry, but what exactly happened today?"
Li Congyou said to Li Congzhong, "Help Doctor Li to rest first!"
Then he walked over and placed his hand on Sang Shijing's wheelchair.
"What happened today was due to the negligence of the Li family, Brother Jing, I will tell you everything!"
......
After everyone left, Sang Shijing went to his study with a somber face and began to write a letter.
His eyes held a cold glint, and his hand moved swiftly across the paper, completing two letters in a short time.
He carefully sealed the envelope and handed it to Dongyan, saying, "Give one to my grandfather, and the other to that person."
"Yes, young master!"
Sang Shijing returned to his room. Just as he was considering whether to go check on the next room, Li Yunyan pushed open the door and walked in.
Looking at her limping gait, Sang Shijing's eyes filled with deep worry.
"Dr. Li, is your foot badly injured?"
"Thank goodness!" Li Yunyan skipped a few steps and sat down beside his bed. "I've already taken care of it, and he'll be fine in a few days!"
Sang Shijing lowered his eyes to look at her ankle. It was covered by stockings, so he couldn't see anything, but he just wanted to see and know how badly she was injured.
Li Yunyan noticed his gaze, a sly glint in her eyes, "Do you want to see?"
She leaned closer to him, her eyes sparkling like stars, and said in a sweet voice, "If you want to see, I'll let you see!"
Sang Shijing's ears suddenly turned red.
He already knew everything that had happened today, and combined with what she was saying now, his heart was pounding wildly.
She... was naive and ignorant of the wickedness of human nature, believing that everyone in the world was a good person!
And now... she's so unguarded with him! Just because he's the only man there doesn't mean she can let him see her ankles!
He turned his head away with difficulty and said softly, "Dr. Li, not everyone in this world is a good person. In the future, you should be more reserved in your dealings with people and things!"
"I know!" she nodded with a smile, then tilted her head and said, "But the young master is a good person!"
Sang Shijing smiled.
So be it! With him around from now on, he'll definitely take better care of her!
He looked intently at her face, trying to discern any hidden grievances in her eyes. But her gaze was clear and bright, and the corners of her lips were slightly curved; she certainly didn't look wronged.
The dim candlelight shone from behind her, turning a stray lock of hair by her ear golden.
He raised his finger as if possessed, and gently tucked her stray hairs behind her ear without touching an inch of her skin.
After he finished, he realized what he had done! He quickly withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with panic.
"I'm sorry! I..."
"Thank you!" Li Yunyan smiled, her eyes crinkling, and playfully raised her eyebrows.
"Young master, please take off your clothes!"
She said something that could make anyone blush and their heart race, yet she did it so playfully.
Sang Shijing's unease lessened somewhat, and he readily loosened his clothes and slowly lay down.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Li!"

Grandpa Sang's study.
He received the letter from Dongyan, and after reading it, he was greatly comforted.
"This kid!" Old Master Sang laughed.
After learning that his grandson's illness could be cured, he, who had originally intended to retire, became active again in the court.
His grandson used to give him advice often, and after several years of silence, he finally saw the same strategic thinking in his grandson again.
He lit the letter over the candle flame, and after a moment, the paper turned to ashes in the copper basin.
The inner palace.
The night was dark, and the crescent moon hung high in the treetops.
The room was so quiet that even the sound of birds flapping their wings on the window could be heard clearly.
A slightly pale hand reached out from the window, caught the carrier pigeon accurately, and brought it into the warm room.
The owner of the hand pulled the copper tube off its leg, placed the carrier pigeon on a white jade table to the side, pinched a handful of millet and placed it on the table, then pointed to it with his finger.
The homing pigeons began to peck happily.
After reading the letter, a soft chuckle followed, the voice seemingly carrying a hint of pleasure, as the speaker murmured to themselves, "So you've come to your senses?"
"Excellent!"
A high-pitched voice belonging to a eunuch came from outside the door, "Fourth Prince, it's time to take your medicine!"
The fourth prince placed the note in a basin of water, and after a short while, the vigorous handwriting on the note had disappeared without a trace.
"Come in!"

Early in the morning, the lattice window was half-open, and the morning sunlight neatly spread across the window frame, casting the shadows of the sycamore leaves outside into the room.
