Mu Tie, what he said is right, it's just boring kindness. He has no ability at all, but he thinks he can be a hero. It's a joke.

I wanted to leave this world with a smile, but I was gradually losing consciousness.

When I woke up, the person was already lying in the marquis's mansion.

Suxin Pavilion, it’s still the room I live in and the bed I always sleep in.

Is this what I see after death? Or am I not dead?

I wanted to get up, but my body was in so much pain that all the bones in my body ached if I moved the slightest. I could only stay still and not move anymore.

"Madam! Madam is awake!"

The sound of the magpie just exploded beside the bed and then floated away in an instant.

After a while, many people came over.

A doctor took my pulse, and the old lady, the eldest lady and Lian'er all came to see me.

Situ Xuan was there too. Why did he grow a beard? There was a hint of blue under his eyes and he looked so haggard. What happened? Was he sick again?

I was just about to ask him what was going on, but when I moved my mouth, no sound came out.

Moreover, his eyelids felt very heavy and his body felt sleepy, so he fell into sleep again.

When I came to myself again, there was a sweet taste in my mouth and my lips felt wet, as if I had just drunk something.

I tried to move my body and it didn't hurt so much, but I found that my hand was being held tightly by someone.

When I turned my head, I saw Situ Xuan's head. He was lying on the edge of the bed, still asleep.

But he looks really weird with his beard now.

I stared at him for a while, and he seemed to notice my gaze and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Are you feeling better? Are you hungry? Are you still in pain? I'll ask the doctor to check you out."

Without giving me a chance to get a word in, he stood up and trotted out.

After a while, a white-bearded imperial physician followed Situ Xuan in, felt my pulse, and said something to Situ Xuan before he sent me out.

When Situ Xuan came in again, I kept staring at him.

He sat down on the bed, his eyes full of pity, and stroked my cheek carefully with his palm, "I will never take you hunting again. I told you not to run around."

"Why do you grow a beard? It looks ugly!" When I spoke, my voice was a little hoarse and my throat was dry and itchy.

He finished the sentence in one breath and then coughed several times.

Situ Xuan quickly brought a bowl of medicine and propped my head up a little higher. "You're mad at me right after I woke up. You're such an antagonist!"

He fed me medicine one spoonful at a time. Several times I tried to speak, but was blocked by his spoon.

"Take the medicine first, don't rush to talk. You've been sleeping for several days, and your body is still weak. Take your time, and everything will be fine."

After finishing a bowl of medicine, I smacked my lips and said, "This medicine is a bit bitter. Why did my mouth taste sweet when I just woke up? What did you give me before?"

"It's honey water. I just took some medicine. You'll take that later." As he said that, he began to untie my belt.

"What are you doing?" I asked warily.

"Is it time to change the dressing on your wound? What's with that expression on your face? Is there anything else I can do?"

Only then did I recall what had happened before, the prince was attacked and I was stabbed from behind.

"Where is the prince? Is he okay? Has the assassin been caught?"

"Don't worry, the prince's injury is less serious than yours. It's just that his left hand is not mobile enough. He will be fine after a month or so of rest. But you have been sleeping in bed for ten days, and one foot has already stepped into the gate of hell." Situ Xuan only answered half of the question.

I waited quietly for his next words.

"There were six assassins in the enclosure that day, and they were all killed. They killed the prince's guards and seriously injured the prince, but unfortunately they were all assassins, and we were unable to find out who was behind it. The arrow that shot the prince was made by the Marquis' Mansion. Fortunately, the prince was saved by you, otherwise everyone in the Marquis' Mansion might have been implicated."
