Chapter 86 Miss Xiyan, it’s me!
As it was getting dark, Xiyan finally woke up.
Her consciousness seemed to be shrouded in mist, hazy and unclear. She opened her eyes slightly, but saw a figure swaying in front of her. It was vaguely a man who was holding a handkerchief and gently wiping her forehead.
The movement was very cautious, as if treating a rare treasure.
In a trance, she blurted out:
"Your Majesty..."
The other person's hand paused slightly, and then a warm and magnetic voice sounded in his ears:
"Miss Xiyan, it's me!"
Xiyan's chaotic consciousness returned instantly.
She focused her sight with great effort and finally saw clearly: at this moment, the person sitting beside the couch and looking at her with concern was actually Crown Prince Helian Feng!
"Is it you?"
Xiyan's eyes widened, filled with astonishment and confusion.
She forced herself to stand up and looked around, and found herself lying on a large, quaint carved bed. The quilt was soft, and the bed curtains were made of high-quality Shu brocade, as thin as smoke and fluttering slightly. The whole room was decorated luxuriously yet elegantly. All of this was so unfamiliar to her.
"You are seriously injured in my prince's residence. This is my bedroom."
Seeing that she was gradually regaining consciousness, Helian Feng's eyes flashed with joy. He placed a soft pillow behind her and explained softly.
Xiyan was secretly shocked.
She had thought that after being seriously injured by Chu Jin, whether they believed she was Xuesha or not, they would take the opportunity to kill her to prevent future troubles.
But she didn't expect that Helian Feng would rescue her and bring her back to the Prince's Mansion, and even place her in his bedroom. This made her full of doubts, and she thought to herself: What are they doing?
Xiyan struggled to get up, but as soon as she moved, she felt a tearing pain in her vest, as if countless steel needles were deeply inserted into the bones.
My throat was also stuffy and uncomfortable, and a fishy and sweet taste surged up my throat, which I couldn't suppress. I almost vomited blood again.
Helian Feng saw this and became nervous. He quickly reached out and held her down.
"Don't move. You're seriously injured. Your life isn't in danger, but you need to rest for a while."
Xiyan nodded weakly, and her eyes began to spin again, with stars appearing in her eyes.
At this moment, she hated Chu Jin even more deeply in her heart, but her face still showed a pitiful look:
"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I wonder who it was who hit me like that. Could it be the man in black who wanted to kill me?"
Helian Feng heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he spoke vaguely:
"Maybe it was an accidental injury. Just take good care of it."
Xiyan bit her lip and said, "I want to go back to the Regent's Palace. I left the palace yesterday and haven't returned all night. If the prince knew about this, he would definitely punish me severely."
Helian Feng's expression changed slightly, and he tried to dissuade him:
"Given your current physical condition, you must rest for a while. You must not move rashly, otherwise your injuries will worsen and the consequences will be disastrous. As for Nan Yan, I will send someone to inform him. You can rest assured and recuperate here."
Xiyan was silent for a moment, then looked up at Helian Feng, her eyes full of gratitude:
"Your Highness, I have no way of repaying your kindness. It's just that... I always feel uneasy in this Prince's Mansion."
Helian Feng smiled gently:
"You just need to rest and recuperate. If you need anything, just tell me."
Xiyan nodded slightly, her thoughts already tangled like a ball under her lowered eyes.
Judging from the situation, Helian Feng did not want to let her go back to the Regent's Palace.
But why is this?
He seemed to believe that he was not Xuesha. Since his identity had not been exposed, and she was just a small maid in the palace, why did Helian Feng keep her in the prince's residence, let her live in his bedroom, and treat her with all kinds of tenderness and concern?
Could it be that he still has doubts about her and wants to keep her by his side to continue testing her, or is there something else going on?
The figure of Xiao Nanyue appeared involuntarily in her mind, and her heart began to tighten.
Xiao Nanyan should have known by now that something had happened to her. After all, she hadn't returned yet, so how could he not know?
However, he would never have thought that he would be in the Prince's Mansion at this moment.
Even if he knew, would he come to her again?
To Xiao Nanyue, she was just a lowly maid who came when called and left when dismissed.
Maybe he thought she died in some desolate place and had forgotten about her long ago.
Thinking of this, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Xiyan's mouth.
Seeing this, Helian Feng asked softly:
"Are you thinking about Nan Yan?"
After a brief silence, Xi Yan shook her head:
“No!”
