Chu Yi hastily returned to Zhengyang Palace. While still on the way, she had already ordered someone to go to the Imperial Medical Institute to summon the imperial physician.

  When they returned to Zhengyang Palace, the imperial physician had just arrived. Chu Yixuan didn't say a word and let the imperial physician go in to treat him.

  The imperial physician did not dare to be even slightly negligent. He hastily carried the medicine box into the inner palace and went to examine the patient.

  Yan Xijun spat out blood, her face turned even paler. Her transparent skin seemed to reveal the texture of her veins. She lay on the bed weakly, her clothes stained with blood not yet changed.

  Chu Yixuan hastily stepped forward and entered the inner hall. Upon seeing her condition, his heart tightened, and he stood there staring at her.

  Even the most intense gaze couldn't wake her up because she had already fainted.

  A thread of guilt slowly crept up his heart. Chu Yixuan secretly regretted it. If he hadn't gone to Xue'er's place tonight, and had stayed behind instead, then she wouldn't have ended up spitting blood like this. Even if she did spit blood, it would've been better if someone was there to attend to her earlier.

  "What's Yan Cairen's condition?" Chu Yixuan stared at Wu Yu's every move, asking anxiously.

  Wu Yu Yi slowly withdrew his hand and put the red thread back into the medicine box. He bowed to him and said respectfully, "Please report to His Majesty that Yan Cai Ren's vomiting blood was caused by damage to her heart pulse. Now her condition has stabilized. Your Majesty need not worry. After taking the medicinal soup prescribed by this old minister, she will be able to wake up tomorrow."

  "Very well, go ahead." Chu Yixuan waved his hand and said. After dismissing a group of people, the large palace was quiet.

  The faint candlelight illuminated the entire palace. The light from the candle beside him cast a glow on Chu Yixuan's face. He sat by the bed, gently stroking Yan Xijun's pale but delicate cheek with his fingers. His eyes filled with tenderness as he carefully examined her.

  These days, I deliberately avoided seeing her. It's because there is still a knot in my heart. Especially in the past few days, I was angry with her because of Chu Chengming's affairs. And during this time, I was also frustrated because I couldn't catch Chu Chengming. Therefore, I haven't been to Ganquan Palace for a while. Only when I saw her at such close distance did I realize that she had lost weight again.

  He looked at her with a heartache and sighed softly. She was indeed a little girl who didn't know how to take care of herself.

  "Your Majesty, I've brought the medicine." Xue Lian glanced at the majestic figure by the bed and called out softly.

  "Come in and take care of me."

  "Yes." Xue Lian held the bowl of soup and knelt down respectfully on the ground, scooping up the medicinal soup and slowly sending it to the edge of Master's slightly pursed lips. Chu Yixuan didn't avoid him either, just looking at him like that.

  Xue Lian helped her master drink the medicine and then helped her change into another set of clothes before retreating.

  It was already late at night. Chu Yixuan saw Yan Xikun sleeping extremely soundly. He slowly took off his clothes, then lay down and gently hugged her.

  Every other morning, Chu Yixuan returned to Zhengyang Palace after attending court and stayed there all the time. He didn't go anywhere else. Reading memorials, eating, reading books were all in Zhengyang Palace. He guarded Yan Xikun's side at all times. But almost a day had passed, and she still hadn't woken up.

  It's late in the evening. The delicious dishes on that table have been quietly placed there for more than half a time, and they are still being laid out there.

  "Your Majesty, I beg of you to have some dinner. The time for dinner has passed for so long."

  "Get down. I don't have an appetite tonight." Chu Yixuan put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at the beauty on the dragon bed, seeing that she had not yet woken up, he was also worried. "Luo Zhong, why hasn't Yan Cairen woken up yet?"

  "Your Majesty needn't worry. I, your humble servant, guess that Yan Cai will wake up soon. Please have some dinner first." Luo Zhong pleaded.

  "I'm not hungry. Take away the dinner." After hearing Luo Zhong's words, Chu Yixuan felt a little more at ease and picked up the book in his hand to read again.

  Luo Zhong reluctantly ordered someone to take away dinner.

  Yan Xikun's first feeling when she woke up was pain. Her chest hurt so much that she frowned slightly. It seemed like something was pressing on her heart, making it hard for her to breathe. She tried to sit up but felt weak all over. Suddenly, she remembered that Jia Lixiang had stabbed her in the chest with a knife.

  Am I dead? Where is this place? Is it hell?

  Yan Xijun raised her eyes to survey her surroundings, and everywhere she looked was adorned with bright yellow silk curtains. Even the bed she lay on had yellow bedding, and the four pillars of the carved dragon and phoenix canopy bed were each engraved with a small golden dragon at the base.

  What is this place? Why can the golden dragon pattern be seen everywhere. Yan Xijun had already denied the existence of hell in her heart. Because this place was not gloomy at all, but instead had a lively atmosphere like that of the mortal world.

  Since this is the human world, who else dares to carve dragon patterns everywhere? Except for the supreme emperor, no one dares to do so. Because those who privately carve dragon patterns are breaking the law.

  Thinking of this, it's highly likely that this is his palace. This thought flashed through Yan Xikun's mind. She stared with wide eyes, looking forward along the candlelight.

  This glance happened to fall on him. He was sitting at his desk reading a book at that moment. The pale yellow light flickered uncertainly beside him, casting a heavy shadow behind him.

  He was so engrossed in reading the book that he didn't even notice himself being stared at. Judging from the current situation, this place is indeed his palace. How could he bear to leave his own palace?

  Yan Xikun was at a loss for what to do, looking at him with confusion and perplexity.

  "How come? Haven't you had enough of me?"

  Until a voice full of jests entered his ears, Yan Xikun was suddenly awakened. He raised his eyes to see that Chu Yixuan was staring at him with sparkling eyes, his mouth curved into a smile, and his expression was one of surprise.

  Being stared at by his 'naked' gaze, Yan Xijun's face turned red in a most unbecoming manner. She awkwardly shifted her line of sight elsewhere.

  "Just now you kept staring at me, didn't you think I look too good? So good that you can't move your eyes away, right?" Chu Yixuan walked over, moved her head over, and made her face him.

  "It's not like that." Yan Xijun pouted and shook her head in denial.

  "Hehe, so quick to deny it. You must have a guilty conscience." Chu Yixuan said with a light smile. He continued in a good mood: "I won't bother you too much today either. Are you hungry?"

  Yan Xijun patted her empty stomach and nodded unconsciously.

  "What do you want to eat?" Chu Yixuan gently stroked her small nose and asked.

  Yan Xijun was momentarily unaccustomed to his intimate movements, and looked at him with a surprised expression, forgetting to respond to his words.

  "What's wrong? Snap out of it......" Chu Yixuan said, puzzled, shaking her shoulders. What happened to her? Suddenly she became like this again, silly and foolish, weirdly cute.

  "Ah." Yan Xijun was somewhat resistant to his intimate actions after regaining her composure. After slightly moving away from him, she said: "Whatever the Emperor has prepared for me to eat, I will eat."
