After Xuan Tong finished feeding him the medicine, she stared at the sleeping Zhan Yihan in a daze. He had never looked at her, nor had he ever spoken a word to her, but she couldn't help but fall for him, unable to extricate herself.
"Your injuries have healed, why haven't you woken up yet?" She really wanted to see what he looked like with his eyes open.
She raised her lips and smiled, looking at the bowl of medicine in her hand, "I've been taking this for almost seven days." If she hadn't seen that Zhan Yihan's injuries were recovering quickly, she would have suspected that the medicine was fake.
After putting the medicine bowl on the bedside table, Xuan Tong stood up, helped Zhan Yihan up, took away the pillow behind him, then slowly helped him lie down and covered him with a quilt.
Xuan Tong sat down on the bed again, staring intently at Zhan Yihan. "Who are you? Why are you here in the Royal Manor? What's your purpose?" She'd been pondering this question for days, truly fearing he might be a spy from a neighboring country. Even if she couldn't like him, she hoped they wouldn't end up as enemies.
Zhan Yihan stirred and slowly opened his eyes. He'd been feeling groggy for days, his eyelids so heavy they couldn't even open. He remembered the moment he was caught in the spatial rift. He tried to pull Jin Yue into the small world, but found his spiritual sense was completely useless. Just then, a hurricane swept toward them, and he quickly shielded Jin Yue with his body until they were plunged into darkness.
This was not the first time that he and Jin Yue were caught in a space crack, but the space crack they were caught in this time was different from the previous ones. This time, they could not use their spiritual sense in the space crack.
Thinking of this, he jumped out of bed and looked around, searching for Su Jinyue. Where was Jinyue? Where had she gone?
"You're awake?" Xuan Tong looked at Zhan Yihan in surprise. The moment he opened his eyes, his deep gaze intoxicated her, making her want to indulge in it without wanting to extricate herself. At this moment, her heartbeat was still beating rapidly.
Zhan Yihan turned to look at Xuan Tong, his eyes filled with indifference, "Who are you?"
"I'm Xuan Tong, and I saved you." Xuan Tong felt a little disappointed. He actually had no impression of her at all.
"Thank you!" Zhan Yihan got off the bed, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, drank a few sips, put down the cup and looked at Xuan Tong, "Have you seen my wife?" He and Jin Yue were tied together, even if the rope broke, they would not move too far away.
Xuan Tong's figure swayed, "You...you have a wife?"
Zhan Yihan nodded, "Did you see her?" He just wanted to know where Jin Yue was.
"No, you were alone when I found you." Xuan Tong slowly clenched her hands, trying to remain calm and not let Zhan Yihan see her emotions. But her heart was really hurting!
Zhan Yihan frowned, "What is this place?"
"This is the imperial palace," Xuan Tong said. Even if he didn't have a wife, they couldn't be together. Why should she be sad? But she couldn't help it.
Zhan Yihan nodded and walked outside. "I will repay you when I recover." He wanted to find Jin Yue now. Only when he found Jin Yue and made sure she was safe, could he feel at ease.
"I don't want any reward from you. You were injured because of my protection. I was just fulfilling my duty. Where are you going? Your wounds haven't healed yet." Seeing Zhan Yihan walk out, Xuan Tong hurriedly followed Zhan Yihan. Although his wounds had scabbed over, he was stabbed by a sword after all. If the wounds ruptured, the consequences would be disastrous.
