An Yuan'er belatedly realized that something was amiss.
When he first came in, Yi Chenli's face was still a little pale, but now it seemed that he had regained his color.
Moreover, it's rather strange that he didn't react at all, even though he could endure the pain, given how hard she hit his wound just now.
"Could it be?"
Yi Chenli's injury was already suspicious.
In a moment of impulsiveness, An Yuan'er reached out and started to tear off Yi Chenli's clothes, eager to verify something.
When the bandage was removed, although it was stained with a lot of blood, the wound was shallow and not a serious injury.
An Yuan'er wasn't really stupid; she figured out all the twists and turns in no time.
No wonder Li Gui wouldn't let her go in to see; it turns out it was all a lie.
Yi Chenli stole the show at the archery competition. He must have deliberately injured himself and feigned weakness to divert attention and direct all the blame at Yi Chenxuan.
Perhaps he already knew about Yi Chenxuan's plan, so he turned the tables on Yi Chenxuan.
Moreover, the month he claimed to be ill gave him ample time to rest, saving him a lot of trouble and disturbance.
An Yuan'er was somewhat embarrassed and annoyed. She had actually been fooled, and she had been so worried about it.
Just as she was about to get angry, Yi Chenli spoke first: "I didn't expect you to cry so hard. I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault."
He frankly and directly admitted his mistake, which made An Yuan'er feel embarrassed.
In fact, he didn't need to explain to her. He could deceive the imperial physician and the emperor. The more people who knew about this, the more dangerous it would be for him.
But because she cried and felt upset, he told her everything.
Li Gui must not want her to know, that's why he stopped her.
As An Yuan'er was trying to figure out how to start the conversation, Yi Chenli teased, "Roundball, although I'm not seriously injured, I am still slightly injured. Are you sure you want to take advantage of a patient like me?"
An Yuan'er then realized that she was still tugging at Yi Chenli's clothes, making his undergarments even more disheveled.
She quickly withdrew her hand, her face as red as a tomato.
She was still leaning against him, feeling each other's body heat, her clothes disheveled, making him blush.
The scene was somewhat suggestive and inappropriate for children. An Yuan'er tried to banish the strange thoughts from her head and get up from Yi Chenli, but Yi Chenli pulled her back down.
"Apply the medicine obediently!"
The ointment stung when applied to the wound.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Be gentle."
"It hurts so much, I can't take it anymore."
An Yuan'er is delicate. When she is injured, she can only endure it alone. But now, when the medicine is being applied, she is whimpering and tears are falling.
Hearing strange noises from inside the room, Li Gui's old face showed a complex and uneasy expression.
This, in broad daylight, is truly an insult to civility.
Even when Yi Chenli applied the medicine to himself, he had never experienced such an ordeal. If he applied it even slightly harder, the girl would cry out in pain.
"If it hurts so much, why did you dare to injure yourself back then?" Yi Chenli said angrily.
With tears streaming down her face, An Yuan'er accused, "Yi Chenli, you're still being mean to me!"
Yi Chenli's forehead was covered in fine sweat. He sighed and said, "An Yuan'er, you must have been sent by God to torment me. I guess I must have owed you a huge debt in my past life, and I have to pay it back in this life."
An Yuan'er said weakly, "Then you're wrong. There's no debt. The fairy came to repay a debt of gratitude."
Yi Chenli didn't take An Yuan'er's nagging to heart.
