A long-lost sense of satisfaction rose within me as I pondered this.
This feeling of being able to do whatever I want without any reason is truly wonderful.
Anyway, the martial arts techniques that suppressed her have already been broken through, and things have reached the worst possible outcome. She has already used martial arts once, and her body is already like this, so one more time won't make a difference.
How much worse can things get? At worst, all we'll do is die.
Didn't she already know this outcome? Every day she lives now is a bonus.
She won't feel much better if she uses it this time, but she won't feel better if she doesn't.
Why doesn't she do something that makes her happy?
Having been confined for over a decade, she was exhausted and wanted to do something she wanted to do herself.
"Ahhh, Niannian, Niannian, your martial arts are amazing!"
Just as Xiao Yanzi finished picking up the shoes, before she could even express her surprise, the Emperor and his ministers arrived in the courtyard.
"Niannian, are you feeling better? Why did you come out?"
The Emperor asked with concern.
"Alright, sir, when shall we set off back?"
Looking at the concerned person, Chen Nian smiled and nodded.
She wanted to go back as soon as possible to see the Empress Dowager, the Empress, little Saiya, and her uncle. She didn't know if she could hold on until the scene with Hanxiang.
She heard that the Emperor was about to return to the palace, but the timing was still uncertain, probably because of her injury.
"Does Niannian want to go back to the palace?"
Hearing Chen Nian's question, the Emperor asked with a smile.
"Um."
Shen Nian nodded sincerely.
"Your injury?"
The Emperor hesitated in his words. To be honest, he also wanted to go back. After Chen Nian's injury, he was terrified and didn't want to linger outside the palace.
He also wanted to return to the palace as soon as possible to investigate the matter and eliminate the danger so that Nian Nian could truly be safe.
"My injury has healed, so don't worry. Don't let me delay your trip. You can ask Ertai if you don't believe me."
As expected, she was right; the Emperor was indeed concerned about her injuries.
"Right? Ertai, my injury has healed."
To increase his persuasiveness, Chen Nian also brought in Ertai.
During this time, she was injured and used the best medicines available. Doctor Chang also specially prepared them, worried that she might encounter various unexpected situations on the road. He prepared all kinds of medicines and other supplies.
With the addition of various healing elixirs that Ertai Yongxuan had somehow collected and relentlessly showering on her like they were free, her injuries healed very quickly.
"Um."
When asked why Shen Nian was hoping he would intercede on her behalf, Ertai nodded.
“Alright, then let’s set off tomorrow. I’ve been away for so long, and I’m also eager to go back. Besides, Ziker is coming to pay homage, so we need to hurry back.”
Seeing that Ertai nodded, the Emperor also decided on the return trip.
Ertai knew how much he cared about Nian Nian, and he would never let her set off rashly if she wasn't fully recovered.
"Yay, we can go back. I've missed my four great talents and beauties so much since we left."
Before Chen Nian could express his joy, Xiao Yanzi had already hugged Chen Nian's shoulders and jumped around, expressing her happiness.
Ertai's eyes darkened as he looked at Xiaoyanzi's arm around Shen Nian, but when he saw the joy in Shen Nian's eyes, he curled his hand at his side and said nothing, standing quietly to the side watching.
Sensing the change in Ertai's aura, Chen Nian gently moved Ertai's hand, tickling his palm to tell him that she was there, that she was by his side.
He wasn't ignored by others.
With just a small gesture, Chen Nian calmed Ertai's restless heart.
He gently took the unruly hand in his own.
Quietly watching Chen Nian and Xiao Yanzi express their joy at their impending return to the palace.
