Bamboo forest in the western suburbs.
When Su Xuening woke up, she saw Su Yun'an lying by her bedside, watching over her.
"Sister, you're awake!" Upon seeing Su Xuening wake up, Su Yun'an excitedly exclaimed, "Master, Uncle, sister is awake!"
Su Xuening affectionately patted Su Yun'an's head, and then Pei Luo and You Yi ran in.
"Master, Uncle-Master." Su Xuening tried to get up when she saw this, but Pei Luo pressed her back down.
"You little rascal, you've suffered so much this time, you should lie down and rest."
As soon as Pei Luo finished speaking, Su Yun'an became anxious: "What happened to my sister? Is she injured?"
Su Yun'an pulled Su Xuening aside, wanting to check her injuries.
"No, it was just a minor incident, it's all over now," Su Xuening comforted Su Yun'an, holding his hand.
You Yi chuckled and tapped Su Yun'an on the head: "You can really sleep!"
The commotion last night didn't wake the kid up at all; he was the only one in the entire bamboo forest who slept soundly until dawn without a care in the world.
Su Yun'an looked at You Yi with a blank expression, not understanding the reason behind his praise.
Su Xuening gestured for Youyi not to speak carelessly in front of Su Yun'an, and then looked at Su Yun'an and said, "Go practice your martial arts."
"I'll rest today and spend time with my sister." Su Yun'an didn't want to practice martial arts anymore, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked longingly at Su Xuening.
He always felt that they were hiding something from him, and that his sister was probably keeping it from him because he was young.
Su Xuening was about to persuade her again when Pei Luo said, "Your senior sister will be staying in the bamboo forest for a while. There's no need for you to take a day off to accompany her. You can come after you finish your training."
Upon hearing this, Su Yun'an was overjoyed: "Really? Sister, are you going to stay for a few days?"
Before he could even get excited for a few seconds, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Su Xuening with concern: "Did you and your brother-in-law have a fight? Did he bully you?"
Su Yun'an clenched his fists, looking like he would fight Xuan Yuanzhan to the death if Su Xuening said yes.
Su Xuening laughed and pinched his little face, saying, "He would never argue with me. It's just that I haven't been feeling well lately, and I wanted to come back so that Master and Uncle could help me get better."
Pei Luo also said, "Your senior sister was brought here by your brother-in-law last night. He just left this morning because he had some things to do. He will come to see your sister soon."
Knowing that they hadn't argued, Su Yun'an was relieved.
He wanted to stay and keep Su Xuening company, but they coaxed and tricked him into going to practice his skills first.
After Su Yun'an left, Su Xuening looked at Pei Luo anxiously and asked, "Have you found that medical book?"
Pei Luo shook his head with a look of shame: "Xuan Yuanzhan went to chase after someone, and there's still no news of him."
Su Xuening was somewhat anxious. If that medical book fell into Long Jiaojiao's hands, the consequences would be unimaginable. She had to find that medical book.
Seeing Su Xuening's worried expression, You Yi comforted her, "Alright, you're so weak right now. Even if the sky falls outside, you don't need to worry about it. The most important thing is for you to stay here and recover."
Pei Luo also advised, "Leave these matters to us. We will definitely find a way to retrieve that medical book. Your task is to recover your health."
Su Xuening looked at the two people's concerned eyes and nodded silently.
There's really nothing she can do to help right now, and she can only hope that Xuan Yuanzhan can get the medical book back as soon as possible.
The Imperial Palace, Jingfeng Palace.
In the morning, as soon as Xuanyuan Yu opened his eyes, he saw Long Jiaojiao's magnified face, and was immediately so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
"What are you doing?" Xuan Yuan Yu was quite frightened by Long Jiao Jiao and subconsciously pushed her away, his tone very unfriendly.
Long Jiaojiao wasn't annoyed. She asked Xuan Yuan Yu with a grin, "Do you want to be the emperor of Eastern Chu?"
Xuan Yuan Yu's heart skipped a beat when Long Jiao Jiao asked him a question, and he immediately became wary: "What do you mean?"
Long Jiaojiao giggled and nestled against Xuan Yuan Yu's chest, her delicate hands sliding directly into his slightly loosened clothes.
Xuanyuan Yu's body stiffened instantly, and his breathing became heavier and heavier uncontrollably.
Seeing that Xuan Yuan Yu had reacted because of her, Long Jiao Jiao became even more smug, and brought her charming lips close to his earlobe and said, "If this Holy Maiden can help you become the Emperor of Eastern Chu, how will you thank this Holy Maiden?"
The scorching breath sprayed onto his earlobe, and the intense tingling sensation traveled to Xuan Yuan Yu's heart like lightning, making his heart tremble twice.
However, he was more interested in Long Jiaojiao's words than her body. He reached out and pressed down on the hand that was messing around inside his clothes, his breathing slightly disordered, and asked, "What way do you have to help me become emperor?"
When it came to serious matters, Long Jiaojiao became unusually serious, her fawning smile fading slightly: "First, let's talk about the conditions. What can you offer this holy maiden?"
Xuanyuan Yu glanced at her and said without thinking, "Don't you want Xuanyuan Zhan? If you can really help me ascend the throne, I'll give Xuanyuan Zhan to you. You can sleep with him however you want!"
"Hahaha!" Xuan Yuan Yu's words made Long Jiao Jiao laugh. She curled her lips in disdain: "He's just a man. Since he doesn't want me, do you think I care about him that much? There are men in this world that I can't have. Xuan Yuan Zhan is not someone I absolutely need!"
Xuan Yuan Yu looked at Long Jiao Jiao's disdainful and mocking expression with surprise, wondering what had happened to make this woman's attitude towards Xuan Yuan Zhan change so drastically overnight.
Yesterday she was determined to have Xuan Yuanzhan, but today she doesn't want him anymore?
