"..." Yu Nanqing said helplessly, "I just wanted to wipe it for you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Wanyan picked up a towel from the table and deftly wiped her feet: "It's not like I don't have hands."
Yu Nanqing was very depressed.
Su Wanyan still wouldn't let him touch her.
"I'm asking you something," Su Wanyan suddenly said seriously, "when you were surrounded in the hunting grounds, you said you regretted it. What did you mean by that?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Nanqing hesitated and pursed her lips.
"Speak!" Su Wanyan frowned. "You don't think I'm a burden and regret bringing me here, do you?"
Yu Nanqing was stunned.
How could Su Wanyan think that way? He had never thought that way before.
He hurriedly explained, "No! I just..."
"only?"
Yu Nanqing looked around, and Su Wanyan hesitated, then said, "It's not convenient to say."
"I'm afraid the walls will hear me."
Hearing this, Su Wanyan didn't take it to heart: "Never mind then, I thought you thought I was a burden."
Yu Nanqing frowned: "Why would you think that?"
He suddenly became curious about what Su Wanyan would say if he didn't deny it, and asked, "What would you do if I didn't have time to explain?"
"I'll slap you." Su Wanyan blurted out.
"..."
After a moment of stunned silence, Yu Nanqing chuckled softly. He knew that Su Wanyan would never take on responsibilities that were not hers.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Wanyan, I was wrong."
His soft breath brushed against Su Wanyan's ear, making her instinctively distance herself from Yu Nanqing. But his words left Su Wanyan confused, and she frowned: "Wrong? What did I do wrong?"
What's the meaning?
Yu Nanqing sighed softly, her lowered eyes reflecting a hint of defeat: "The plan was flawed."
"?"
“I knew that person would lure me into the hunting grounds, but I didn’t expect him to do it himself. I should have acted decisively then…”
Yu Nanqing stopped there.
Su Wanyan understood the meaning behind his words and made a decisive move to capture Emperor Yuanhe.
However, they never expected that Emperor Yuanhe and the eldest princess would invite Yu Nanqing to go on an archery tour.
The dust was originally prepared to deal with the army, but Yu Nanqing used it up in advance. When the patrol army surrounded them, Yu Nanqing couldn't help but regret it.
Why didn't they just kill Emperor Yuanhe directly instead of putting Su Wanyan in such a dangerous situation?
Ultimately, he still had some concerns.
Su Wanyan was speechless: "That's it?"
She thought it was something serious that was being made so solemn, and said, "Things can't be accomplished overnight, and if you really do that, you might not be able to get away unscathed."
Furthermore, with Emperor Yuanhe dead, the Great Jin Dynasty was leaderless. As long as the country was without a ruler, the court officials and the harem would inevitably cause internal strife over the throne.
Su Wanyan felt that although it had nothing to do with her, if that time really came, the Prince Gong's Mansion would not gain any benefits, and if there was chaos and war, it would not be good for her to travel and enjoy life in the future.
That's not a good thing.
Su Wanyan changed the subject: "By the way, you just went to the imperial tent. Does Emperor Yuanhe know that your leg is healed?"
"Um."
"Pfft." Su Wanyan couldn't help but laugh. "Wouldn't he be furious? What will those ministers' reaction be?"
"..." At that time, he only wanted to get back to his tent as soon as possible, and he didn't care about the ministers' reactions.
"Oh, right, there's something else." Su Wanyan seemed to remember something and said, "When I was attacked, I was rescued by a group of people, but I don't know who they are."
Yu Nanqing's brows twitched slightly as she thought of Si Yang, whom she had met at the hunting grounds.
Seeing Yu Nanqing's reaction, Su Wanyan leaned forward: "Do you know who it is?"
"I don't know."
"Never mind then."
After a pause, he asked, "So what's the situation now? Will we be able to sleep tonight?"
"Tired?" Yu Nanqing asked.
"It's no wonder I'm sleepy after all that running around."
But even though I was sleepy, I was still on edge, and it was impossible for me to fall asleep right away.
"Your Highness." Just then, Tanaka's voice rang out from outside the tent: "The imperial physician has arrived."
Imperial Physician?
Su Wanyan looked at Yu Nanqing and asked in a low voice, "Did you come to test you?"
After all, Yu Nanqing's leg had healed, and she didn't think Emperor Yuanhe would be so kind as to send an imperial physician to treat his injury.
Yu Nanqing did not reply, but slowly stood up: "You rest first, I'll be right back."
He bent down and picked up the basin of water.
Su Wanyan waved her hand: "Qiuye can do these."
Yu Nanqing ignored him and said with a smile, "I'll come back in a moment to blow out the candle. Don't worry, I'm here tonight, so you can rest easy."
"..."
Seeing Yu Nanqing's figure disappear outside the tent curtain, Su Wanyan then lay back down.
It's impossible to feel at ease, but now that they're back in their camp, Emperor Yuanhe should no longer openly target them.
As she turned over slightly, a bloody smell entered her nose. Su Wanyan frowned, lifted a strand of her hair and smelled it. Not only was there a bloody smell, but there was also the smell of gunpowder.
I wonder if I can find a place to wash up tomorrow.
After a whole day of fussing, Su Wanyan hadn't thought about it for long before she drifted off to sleep.
The imperial physicians, acting on Emperor Yuanhe's orders, examined Yu Nanqing thoroughly, especially his legs, which were examined by several physicians in turn.
Yu Nanqing didn't hold back this time; if the imperial physicians wanted to examine them, then let them examine them to their heart's content.
After the imperial physicians finished their examinations, they all showed surprise, along with doubt and confusion.
Not only were Yu Nanqing's legs healed, but his internal energy was also completely at peace, and his previous deficiency of qi and blood had completely disappeared. This was not the state of a dying person at all.
Even if his illness can be cured, it's impossible for the traces to be completely invisible.
The more the imperial physicians looked at it, the more bizarre it became, and the less they could believe it. Finally, they dared to ask Yu Nanqing which divine physician had cured his leg.
Yu Nanqing rested her chin on her hand, looking nonchalant, and didn't speak, clearly not wanting to answer their questions.
The imperial physicians looked at each other, not daring to act rashly, and could only take their leave to return and report.
Tonight, some people are destined to be sleepless.
Leaving aside the powerful ministers and aristocratic families who were not involved, the fact that the eldest princess had not returned home all night had already made Emperor Yuanhe extremely irritable.
Unfortunately, the imperial physician came over and reported that Yu Nanqing had fully recovered. Coupled with his pre-existing injuries, he was so angry that he fainted.
Overnight, peace and tranquility reigned at Prince Gong's residence, while chaos and turmoil erupted at the imperial camp.
The assassination attempt failed, so Emperor Yuanhe withdrew all his troops, and the besieging army was repurposed to search for the whereabouts of the Eldest Princess and Su Muqing.
However, the night passed without any progress.
The next day, early in the morning.
The area outside the imperial tent was still crowded with people early on, all concerned about Emperor Yuanhe's condition.
The news that Emperor Yuanhe was injured at the hunting grounds and fainted in the middle of the night is now common knowledge. Whether it is sincere or not, everyone is rushing to show their loyalty.
