“Mmm…” Yu Nanqing obediently responded.
Is it possible for him to recover from this illness?
He never dared to harbor any illusions.
He wanted to live, but at the same time, he dared not ask for more...
"You have no idea how dangerous it was when you were brought back. Although you seem fine now, you won't be getting out of bed for the foreseeable future, understand?"
"Hmm..." Yu Nanqing responded quietly.
"Don't even think about sunbathing, don't even think about wind blowing, don't even think about seeing the scenery. And the wound on your back, it finally scabbed over but now it's all ruptured again. I can't bandage it for you, I can only put some medicine on it. I can bandage it for you in a couple of days when your condition is more stable. You're not allowed to cause any more trouble, understand?"
"Um……"
"What nonsense! Why aren't you making a fuss now? Come on, keep causing trouble! Get up!" In the end, she was still a little angry, and the more she talked, the angrier she got.
Yu Nanqing: "..."
Su Wanyan is right; he was too excited and lost his composure.
Since returning to the capital three years ago, the person in the palace has been arresting his people under various pretexts. A year ago, he ordered the remaining people to change their names and live in hiding, so they would no longer have to worry about him.
His situation was destined to be a dead end, and no matter what they did, they couldn't change it.
They were already prepared to die, but this time... it was Su Wanyan...
Even if it's a hopeless hope...
Yu Nanqing looked at Su Wanyan, who was still babbling on and on, and suddenly took her hand. It wasn't as strong as before, but rather gentle and weak.
"What?" Su Wanyan frowned as she looked at the large hand covering the back of her hand. This time, she didn't pull it away. "Don't think I'll shut up just like that. If you don't cooperate, I'll nag you until your ears are calloused."
“…Okay.” Yu Nanqing had no reason to complain; she felt that the voice was like heavenly music to her ears.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Zhang's voice rang out from outside the door again: "Your Highness, Your Majesty, I have brought some food over."
This time his voice was soft, worried that he might upset Yu Nanqing again.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan realized that she hadn't eaten all day, and hurriedly said, "Come in quickly."
Wang Zhang had lost an arm, so he was carrying a tray with a bowl of noodles and a bowl of rice porridge in his left hand as he carefully walked in.
Having grown accustomed to doing rough work, he wasn't quite used to serving tea and water, so his steps were very awkward.
He placed the meal on the table in front of the bed, fiddling with it while he looked hesitantly at Yu Nanqing.
Su Wanyan then said, "After you fell into a coma, I went to the palace to see Emperor Yuanhe and told him that I wanted to take these people into the Prince's Mansion. So not only Master Wang, but also your other subordinates are all in the Prince's Mansion right now."
"You...entered the palace alone?" Yu Nanqing tightened his grip on Su Wanyan's hand slightly. "Did he make things difficult for you?"
"Difficult?" Su Wanyan laughed: "Hehe, he probably wants to eat me up!"
Yu Nanqing choked slightly, and the hand holding her tightened its grip even more.
But then she felt relieved: "Well, it's alright. He couldn't do anything to me. I won't go into the details because it's too long. Anyway, he didn't find anything wrong with me."
Wang Zhang listened, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
From the assassination attempt last night until now, it has been far more than just dangerous; the princess might have perished in the palace.
The Emperor was determined to eliminate these people, but the Princess Consort openly defied him for their sake—a crime that could easily land her in prison and cost her her life.
Now that Su Wanyan had so casually brushed it off, Wang Zhang wished he could tell her everything on his mind.
But seeing his prince's bloodless face, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Yu Nanqing was well aware of the danger, but it was precisely because he knew that Su Wanyan spoke of it so casually that his heart ached.
It felt like a thorn stuck inside.
Su Wanyan didn't care. She pulled her hand away from Yu Nanqing's and picked up the bowl of noodles to put it in her mouth.
When Yu Nanqing's hand went empty, it felt as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out, leaving her feeling empty as well.
He curled his fingers to suppress the thought: "How long... have I been asleep?"
"It didn't take long, just one day and two nights," Su Wanyan said while eating.
One day...two nights...he was unconscious for such a long time.
"How...did I get back?"
"It was brought back by horse-drawn carriage."
"..." Su Wanyan spoke too casually, as if she were simply going out to buy something and naturally returning home.
What Yu Nanqing wanted to ask was what happened after he fell into a coma.
Have all the assassins sent by that person stopped their assassination attempts?
Su Wanyan entered the palace to confront him. What exactly happened?
What happened after that?
He wanted to know every detail of the whole thing, whether she had fallen into that person's trap, and whether she had been bullied by them.
But Su Wanyan brushed all of this aside with a light touch.
"Ah!" While eating, Su Wanyan suddenly remembered something she had forgotten: "That's right, when I left the palace, I told the Prince of Ming's Mansion that he would be kind and benevolent!"
Su Wanyan looked at Wang Zhang: "Master Wang, what time is it now?"
"Your Majesty, it is already 9 PM."
Is it too late to prepare now?
Shi Ren Bu En, as the name suggests, means to bestow kindness and favor upon others.
To put it simply, it's about distributing food to ordinary people.
There will definitely be a lot of people coming to the Prince's Mansion tomorrow. The food available at the mansion probably won't last more than a few days.
“We’ve been trying to survive in the capital, and we’ve secretly stockpiled a lot of food. My men have told the brothers to prepare it now; it should be in time. But…” Wang Zhang hesitated, “This food is stored in our secret stronghold. If we make a big fuss to get it, it will definitely attract attention.”
After all, Shi Renbuen wanted more than just a little bit.
What he feared was attracting the attention of that person in the palace.
Upon hearing this, Su Wanyan immediately raised her hand: "Since it's food stockpiled for survival, then don't touch it. Here's what you do: search the Prince's mansion to see how much food they have left, and have the kitchen staff prepare it overnight. Take out whatever they have tomorrow."
Food for survival, that's life-saving food, they might need it someday, she absolutely cannot touch it.
Although the Prince's Palace did not have enough food, the people Emperor Yuanhe sent to the palace numbered at least a hundred. With so many mouths to feed, it shouldn't be a problem to use all the food to last for a day or two.
"Tomorrow, you will lead your men to set up tents at several entrances and exits of the Prince's Mansion. One group will be responsible for distributing food, another for purchasing ingredients for the next few days, another for maintaining security around the Prince's Mansion, and a few others will stay behind to report any incidents."
"There are fewer people, but the capable should do more. Don't expect the people sent by the emperor to help. It's good enough if they don't cause trouble."
