Even the little black cat squatting on the windowsill echoed in a serious tone: "Meow!"

Chu Yunyi pursed his thin lips, his expression gradually becoming solemn, and the sound of someone biting crispy dates echoed in the air.

Suddenly, the door curtain was opened and Amber came back, holding a bowl of hot medicine, "Princess, the medicine is ready."

A strong smell of medicine filled the room along with the heat.

Tang Yuchu gave Chu Yunyi a sympathetic look, thinking that the crispy dates were really sweet and refreshing. Mm, delicious.

Chu Qianchen ordered Amber to feed Chu Yunyi the medicine.

Chu Yunyi couldn't move and could only drink while lying down. Although it was a bit troublesome, it was much simpler than when he was unconscious. Amber was already very experienced in this. She first helped him raise his head a little, and when the medicine was not so hot, she used a reed tube to let him drink the medicine by himself.

The medicine tasted so bitter that it was hard to swallow, and Chu Yunyi grimaced.

Under normal circumstances, he would have gritted his teeth and swallowed the medicine in one gulp, but now he could only drink it slowly, mouthful by mouthful. It took him a whole cup of tea to finish the medicine, and he felt like he had lost half his life.

Amber looked at Chu Yunyi with some sympathy. Others might not know, but she knew that the princess had deliberately added some bitter medicine to the prescription, intending to make him suffer.

All she could do was to feed him some honey water after he finished drinking the medicine to relieve the bitterness.

When Chu Qianchen saw that he had finished taking the medicine, he left without saying a word, as if to say, "I don't want to talk to this little brat anymore."

She went out, and the hanging door curtain swayed slightly in the air.

Chu Yunyi looked at the door curtain, feeling a little depressed, but he couldn't help but think over and over again about what Chu Qianchen and Tang Yuchu had just said.

The room fell silent again.

After Tang Yuchu ate three more crisp dates, Chu Yunyi couldn't help but ask, "Captain Tang, why did you go to the battlefield?"

Tang Yuchu chewed some crisp dates while mumbling, "It's a conscription order."

He, Yunzhan, Xue Fengyan, Mo Chen and others all had different backgrounds. Only Yunzhan was a young man from a baron's family. The rest of them were originally common people, and each had their own reasons for joining the army.

Chu Yunyi: “…”

Chu Yunyi had never expected to get such an answer from Tang Yuchu and was stunned for a moment.

He suddenly felt his eyes darken, and then he noticed that Tang Yuchu had come to his side without him knowing, and his tall shadow was cast on the bed.

Tang Yuchu sat down beside the couch and patted Chu Yunyi on the shoulder. "The princess may sound mean, but she is worried about you in her heart."

Chu Yunyi pursed his thin lips.

After a long silence, he said, "I know."

It's not that he doesn't know what's good for him. If Chu Qianchen didn't care about him, why would he have gone to so much trouble to bring him to the palace, treat him, and tell him so much through Tang Yuchu.

Because he knew it, he didn't know what to say.

Tang Yuchu also felt that he didn't know what to say, and took another bite of the crispy date. They were all once naive young men like Chu Yunyi, but the battlefield is a place that forces people to grow up the fastest.

They have to carry the burden of the dead and continue to live for the living.

Chu Yunyi was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Can you tell me about your time in the North?"

"Wait a moment!" Before Tang Yuchu could finish his words, he left like a flash, and brought back a chatterbox.

Next, Tang Yuchu was responsible for eating, Xue Fengyan was responsible for reminiscing about the past, and Chu Yunyi was responsible for listening, each of them getting what they wanted.

As Chu Yunyi listened, he occasionally glanced towards the door curtain and thought: Could it be that my second sister is so angry that she doesn't want to pay attention to him?

When Chu Yunyi looked at the door curtain for the fiftieth time, Amber came back again, but the person with her was not Chu Qianchen, but Shen.

"Madam, please, the eldest master is inside." Amber walked in front to lead the way for Shen.

"Brother Yi." Shen looked at Chu Yunyi lying on the couch with a worried look, her brows furrowed.

The Duke Mu's Mansion was also paying close attention to the results of the three-court trial, so after the verdict came down, Shen learned that Chu Yunyi had made a great contribution in saving the emperor. After further inquiries, she learned about what happened at Yuanqing Temple yesterday, and hurried to the Prince Chen's Mansion to visit Chu Yunyi.

Shen hated Chu Lingxiao and Aunt Jiang, but not Chu Yunyi.

Chu Qianchen had just told Shen that Chu Yunyi took the risk and almost lost his life in order to protect the title given to Chu Yunmu.

Shen's heart was filled with complex emotions. After all, Chu Yunyi was only a twelve-year-old child, not much older than Chu Yunmu...

Shen only felt distressed for Chu Yunyi.

Chu Yunyi was still somewhat stubborn and rebellious when facing Chu Qianchen, but when he faced Shen, he seemed a little nervous and weak, and gently called out, "Mother."

Seeing Shen coming, Tang Yuchu and Xue Fengyan decided to retire. They bowed to Shen and tactfully excused themselves to leave.

Tang Yuchu felt that Chu Yunyi was a bit pitiful. After being scolded by his sister, it was his stepmother's turn. He estimated that with the importance the prince attached to the princess, he might be "scolded" again after the prince came back.

The prince's "training" is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Tang Yuchu patted Chu Yunyi's shoulder sympathetically, then left with Xue Fengyan. He still remembered taking the last three crispy dates, leaving a pile of date pits on the coffee table.

Chu Yunyi felt Tang Yuchu's indescribable expression, and immediately understood what "public execution" meant.

At this moment, Chu Yunyi really regretted it.

Yesterday, he felt that he was doing a righteous thing when he did it, but now he suspects that what he did yesterday might be a shame that would be remembered for the rest of his life.

Chu Yunyi couldn't help but look towards the door curtain again, not knowing whether he was expecting Chu Qianchen to come and scold her together, or was afraid that she would ignore him again.

Shen also noticed Chu Yunyi's eyes, but remained silent.

Someone just came to report that Chu Qianhuang was here.

Shen didn't want to see Chu Qianhuang, so she just came to see Chu Yunyi first.

At this moment, Chu Qianhuang was already waiting anxiously in Shaohua Hall. No matter how many times she asked where Chu Yunyi was, Madam Cai always said the same thing: "Please wait a moment, Miss Chu."

Madam Cai did not neglect the guests and was not stingy in serving them tea, snacks, and fruits.

During the time Chu Qianhuang waited, he even replaced her with a new cup of tea.

As soon as the new tea was served, Chu Qianchen came slowly over. Chu Qianhuang didn't even bother to drink tea and stood up to greet him.

"Second sister, I want to see Brother Yi!" Chu Qianhuang stated her purpose straight away.

She obviously didn't get enough rest last night. There was a blue shadow under her eye socket, which was particularly abrupt because of her fair skin.

Chu Qianchen didn't say anything, but just stared at Chu Qianhuang without blinking.

Her dark pupils were clear and bright, with a burning heat that made Chu Qianhuang feel uneasy.

After Chu Yunyi was taken away by Chu Qianchen yesterday, there was no news at all. Everyone in the Chu family was worried that Chu Yunyi was dead. After the three courts held a joint trial, they all knew that Chu Yunyi was injured because he rescued the emperor. Although the lady felt sorry for her son's exile, she was relieved to hear that his title was saved, and she kept saying that the ancestors blessed him.

After her biggest worry was resolved, the old lady thought of Chu Yunyi again, saying that Chu Yunyi was the eldest grandson of the Chu family and should not die in Prince Chen's Mansion. But even though she said that, she did not dare to come to Prince Chen's Mansion again, for fear of being turned away again. So Chu Qianhuang came here bravely.

Last night, Chu Qianhuang stayed awake all night and felt a little regretful.

After all, Chu Yunyi was so seriously injured, she would feel uneasy if he really died.

This is a real life.

Seeing that Chu Qianchen didn't say anything, Chu Qianhuang asked again: "How is Brother Yi?"

She thought that if Chu Qianchen brought Chu Yunyi back, maybe he could ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau for a consultation, and maybe Chu Yunyi could still be saved.

Chu Qianchen remained silent, just approaching Chu Qianhuang step by step.

The distance between the two people is getting closer and closer.

There was not a trace of smile on Chu Qianchen's delicate and beautiful face. Her temperament was cold and her calmness carried an invincible aura, making her look so unfamiliar, like a female general coming down from the battlefield, full of murderous intent.

Chu Qianhuang's heart was filled with alarm bells, as if she was being stared at by a bird of prey.

Her cherry lips moved slightly, and she wanted to say something, but she saw the girl in front of her raised her hand.

“Bang!”

Chu Qianchen slapped Chu Qianhuang hard on the face, causing her cheek to tilt to one side.

Next, there was deathly silence.

A clear five-finger mark appeared on Chu Qianhuang's fair and delicate left cheek, and that half of her face was visibly swollen.

The blood-red palm print contrasted with the snow-white skin, which was shocking to look at.

Chu Qianhuang covered her left cheek and felt her ears buzzing from the slap.

"You...you hit me?!" Chu Qianhuang looked at Chu Qianchen in disbelief, her eyes widened.

Chu Qianchen actually hit her!

No one has ever beaten her, whether before or after the time travel.

Chu Qianhuang's cheeks were burning with pain. The feeling of being slapped made her feel as if her self-esteem was being trampled on. She felt ashamed and angry.

Chu Qianchen withdrew his hand calmly, hid his slightly red palm with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "This slap is for Brother Yi."

She sat down gracefully at the top, looking calm and composed, as if she was not the one who had just hit the man.

“…” Chu Qianhuang stood there in a daze, and a thought suddenly emerged in his mind: Chu Yunyi had told everything, so Chu Qianchen already knew everything.
