Chapter 30 I feel bad when I can't see you
Chunyu Han slept for a full three hours. Although he slept fully clothed, he felt he slept better than ever before. He sat up from the couch, satisfied, and found that Yu Nian beside him was still in the same position as before he fell asleep.
The only difference was that in her fair and delicate little hands, she was clutching his prayer beads.
In addition, Yu Nian had some dark circles under her eyes, which must have been due to lack of sleep. Chunyu Han did not take the prayer beads back. He looked at Yu Nian with deep eyes, and his idea became even more firm.
Yu Nian was already a light sleeper, and as soon as Chunyu Han closed the door, she opened her eyes.
Seeing the empty seat next to her, Yu Nian knew that Chunyu Han had gone to attend the joint trial by the three judicial departments.
[Today's System Task: Stay within three feet of Chunyu Han for more than five hours. Reward: 5 days of health points or 1000 merit points]
Yu Nian checked and found that she had about ten days of life left, but this experience taught her that ancient times were dangerous, and a sudden attack could happen at any time.
If she hadn't saved up any life points, she might have fainted that day and never woken up again.
But this task is too demanding. She doesn't have much strength in her hands and feet yet. Let alone following Chunyu Han, she even needs Chuntao's help to go to the toilet.
"Hey? Didn't Lao Liu say he'd add a refresh function for me? Why isn't it there?"
[System automatic reply: Closed today. Maintenance and upgrades will be performed on weekdays.]
Look how lazy he is.
But being unable to get out of bed didn't deter Yu Nian; she remembered that she could exchange some special medicines in the mall.
To complete the mission, Yu Nian opened the shop and found a potion in the special medicine category that she had seen before that could restore physical strength and energy in a short time.
However, these potions are all single-use, meaning they can only be redeemed once and disappear after use. Moreover, their effects only last for five hours, or two and a half hours.
Yu Nian estimated that this amount of time should be enough to attend the joint trial by the three judicial departments.
With a determined effort, Yu Nian used 500 merit points to exchange for this potion.
"That's really expensive, and it's only ten milliliters."
Yu Nian looked at the small tube containing the medicine in her palm and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.
After drinking the medicine, Yu Nian actually felt full of energy. Without wasting any more time, Yu Nian left a note for Chun Tao and quietly slipped out of the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
After finishing his meal, Chunyu Han prepared to take a carriage to the palace.
Canghai lifted the carriage curtain and let Chunyu Han get in. Chunyu Han glanced into the carriage with his deep black eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes.
"Sir, is there something amiss?"
Canghai noticed that his master's gaze seemed a little off, but the carriage's configuration was the same as usual, with nothing missing.
"Let's go."
Chunyu Han said nothing, stepped onto the footstool with his cloud-climbing boots, and got into the carriage.
The carriage moved slowly forward, and Chunyu Han spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"come out."
Tsk, is this guy a dog? He managed to find her even though she was hiding so well.
Yu Nian awkwardly touched her nose, crawled out of the chest in the carriage, and gave an embarrassed smile.
"Good morning, Your Excellency Regent."
The special medicine was only effective on the body. Yu Nian's face was still so pale. When Chunyu Han saw that it was Yu Nian, his eyes darkened.
"You can get out of bed now?"
He had seen Yu Nian's wounds with his own eyes; she was completely unable to walk on her own, yet she slipped into his carriage at that moment.
"The pills left by my fourth brother can temporarily relax muscles and improve blood circulation, making people forget the pain. I specially asked Chun Tao to give them to me in case of emergency."
Without even blinking, Yu Nian shifted the blame to Yu Jing.
This explanation is quite convincing. After all, Chunyu Han knew that Yu Jing was related to Medicine King Valley, where medical skills were incredibly diverse. It was reasonable for Yu Jing to leave his sister a backup plan.
Where are you going?
Chunyu Han did not restrict Yu Nian's freedom. She had taken such rare medicine, so she must have something important to do.
"I don't want to go anywhere, I just want to stay with the adults."
Yu Nian sat opposite Chunyu Han, a slight smile playing on her lips, her light brown pupils as clear and bright as glass.
Seeing Yu Nian's smiling face, Chunyu Han couldn't bring himself to be angry.
"lie."
Chunyu Han lowered his eyes in deep thought. Yu Nian was so badly injured, yet she insisted on coming out. She must have something to ask for. Today was the day of the important joint trial by the three judicial departments. Could it be that Yu Nian wanted to go to the palace with him?
"I'm not lying this time."
Yu Nian shrugged. She'd told so many lies that now no one believed her when she told the truth.
"That means you were lying all along."
Chunyu Han's eyes remained fixed on Yu Nian's face, trying to find a flaw in her expression.
Yu Nian sighed and gave a bitter smile.
Chunyu Han, this grand eunuch, is different from ordinary men. He's too guarded and impossible to seduce. It's such a waste of such a handsome face.
"The master must have left in a hurry and left something behind."
Yu Nian took out Chunyu Han's string of purple sandalwood prayer beads from her bosom. The round beads lay in Yu Nian's fair palm, and the beads seemed much larger.
Chunyu Han narrowed his long, phoenix-shaped eyes slightly, his expression thoughtful. She had come to deliver this to him.
Chunyu Han took the prayer beads from the girl's hand and closed his eyes to rest again. Well, he would find out where she was going in a while.
However, the prayer beads still carried the warmth of Yu Nian's embrace, and the more they spun, the more restless it became.
Yu Nian finally managed to get past Chunyu Han, who was checking household registration, and breathed a sigh of relief. She had passed the first hurdle.
The system in her mind was still automatically accumulating the time she spent with Chunyu Han.
Not long after, the carriage passed through the palace gate. Chunyu Han still couldn't hear Yu Nian's voice. When he looked up, he found that the little lazy pig had fallen asleep again.
"My lord, we have arrived."
Canghai's voice rang out from outside the carriage, startling Yu Nian awake. She rubbed her eyes.
She used to get sleepy as soon as she got in a carriage, and it seems that she still has the same problem now that she's riding in a horse-drawn carriage.
"You stay in the car and don't wander around. You should know how much trouble you'll get if someone sees you."
Yu Nian knew that she was out with her brother to relax, but if it weren't for the mission, Yu Nian wouldn't even bother to leave the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
"Sir, I know this is a bit abrupt, but could you please take me with you?"
Yu Nian's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of pleading.
The fox's tail was finally revealed. Chunyu Han opened his eyes and snorted coldly.
"If you know it's presumptuous, you shouldn't say it."
Chunyu Han got up to leave, and Yu Nian became anxious when she saw that Chunyu Han really didn't intend to take her with him.
She pounced on Chunyu Han, wrapping her little arms around his waist and acting all spoiled.
"My lord, please don't go! I feel restless if I can't see the Regent for even a moment!"
