"Let me check on it in a bit, I'm worried. Xinglai, go get some more ointment." Yu Jingchen's voice was calm. But Nan Zhiyun found it somewhat terrifying, especially the part about getting more ointment; was he going to hit her again...?
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun began to feel afraid again.
"It's okay, sweetheart." Yu Jingchen patted her head.
"I'm not fighting anymore... You just said that yourself." Nan Zhiyun thought he was going to punish her.
"Yes, I said I wouldn't fight anymore. Don't worry, it's nothing. I just wanted to check your injuries and apply some medicine." Yu Jingchen could tell that Nan Zhiyun was genuinely scared.
Hearing Yu Jingchen's words, Nan Zhiyun felt a little relieved, but she wasn't sure if Yu Jingchen would still say the same thing after seeing the injuries on her body...
Yu Jingchen dismissed the palace servants, leaving only the two of them in the room. Nan Zhiyun felt nervous. Yu Jingchen was now helping her take off her clothes. Nan Zhiyun dared not say anything, fearing she would be punished again soon.
Only after Yu Jingchen removed all of Nan Zhiyun's clothes could he clearly see the injuries on her body. Her whole body was covered in bruises and scrapes, with some areas having broken skin.
"Your Majesty..." Nan Zhiyun began to panic when she saw Yu Jingchen's expression change.
Seeing Nan Zhiyun's cautious demeanor, Yu Jingchen knew he had frightened her.
"Why didn't you tell me? You should have told me beforehand. Your injuries are so serious, and you've been enduring them all this time? Don't you ever learn?" Yu Jingchen tapped her on the head, but thankfully this time he wasn't as harsh as before.
"I know I was wrong, I won't do it again, I'll tell you everything from now on..." This time, Nan Zhiyun truly remembered it.
"Okay, I'll apply the medicine for you. If it hurts, just yell it out. Don't hold it in and stop biting your lip," Yu Jingchen told her.
"Mm," Nan Zhiyun nodded.
Yu Jingchen gently rubbed her head and then began to apply the medicine to her head.
Yu Jingchen's movements were very light and gentle. Nan Zhiyun had originally thought that Yu Jingchen would get angry again, but she didn't expect him to be so calm. However, her buttocks still hurt a lot... His Majesty was a bit too heavy-handed.
"If you had told me earlier that you had so many injuries, you wouldn't have gotten beaten up." Yu Jingchen suddenly spoke up. If he had known earlier that Nan Zhiyun had so many hidden injuries, he wouldn't have been so ruthless. This little one kept everything to herself, so she got a beating for nothing.
Nan Zhiyun was stunned. She didn't understand why she wouldn't be beaten just because she had these injuries. Just moments ago, she thought she was going to be beaten again for hiding her injuries from him...
The room fell silent after that. No one spoke. Nan Zhiyun didn't know why Yu Jingchen was so silent, but she didn't dare to speak either...
"Next time, you have to tell me. Even if you get a scrape or bump into something, you have to tell me, understand? Don't do it again." Yu Jingchen finally spoke. "Yes..." Nan Zhiyun felt it was a bit of an overreaction, but she still agreed.
"Alright, all the medicine is applied." Yu Jingchen put down a box of ointment. Nan Zhiyun was just about to be happy when Yu Jingchen hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry..." It was Yu Jingchen who said the apology.
