Although Su Qingwan did not agree to help with Yan Yanchen's matter, she asked Miaohua to find someone to keep an eye on him.

Two days later, news came that Yan Yanchen had taken his men away, and Su Qingwan knew that Qingmu had taken action.

She didn't care anymore.

Counting the days, Yan Ming should be back.

Sure enough, Yan Mingjue came back that day, but he was injured.

Looking at the wound on his arm, Su Qingwan frowned:

"How did it happen?"

Yan Mingjue's left arm was red and had blood blisters in many places. These were not wounds caused by a sharp weapon.

"The weather was too hot and a fire started. I got burned a little, but I'm fine."

Yan Ming said nonchalantly that this injury was nothing to him.

"Fire?"

Su Qingwan and Yan Ming glanced at each other.

The weather has been hot recently and there have indeed been fires in many places, but those are places for offering sacrifices to the gods, so how could we not take precautions?

"Is your Majesty alright?"

"fine."

But his face doesn't look very good.

This time the Imperial Guards might be in trouble again, but it has nothing to do with him, as he is a meritorious official.

While protecting the emperor, he also burned his arm, so Emperor Xuanwu gave him a few days off to let him have a good rest.

The imperial physician from the palace arrived soon to clean Yan Mingjue's wound.

He originally wanted to let Su Qingwan leave. This way of treating the wound was a bit disgusting, and he didn't want Su Qingwan to see it. But Su Qingwan was determined not to leave, and in the end he had no choice but to let her go.

Watching the imperial physician prick the blisters one by one and then sprinkle medicine on them, Su Qingwan's heart tightened and she clenched her handkerchief tightly.

"The weather is hot, so the governor changes the dressing twice a day to prevent the wound from getting infected."

"Also, don't touch water until you're fully recovered!"

"Thank you, Doctor Wang. Butler Zhou, please send Doctor Wang out."

When there were only two people in the room, Su Qingwan looked at Yan Mingjue's left arm with heartache.

The burn is so severe that even if it heals, it will leave scars.

Everyone said that Yan Mingjue climbed the career ladder very quickly, as he was already in a high position at the young age of twenty.

But no one knows what he paid for.

His body was covered with scars of varying depths. Everything he had now was earned by Yan Mingjue at the cost of his own life.

Seeing that she looked worried, Yan Mingjue spoke to divert her attention.

"Has Yan Yanchen come here after I left?"

He only found out about it when he returned home.

"Yes!"

Su Qingwan recounted what happened that day:

"I was afraid that it would implicate the family, so I didn't do anything."

"I just told him Aoki's address."

"Qingmu should have taken action. Yan Yanchen left after two days."

Yan Mingjue nodded upon hearing this:

"You did the right thing."

Then, he snorted again:

"The Yan family is really courting death."

Su Qingwan didn't say anything, just looked at him.

Yan Mingjue was thinking about his own things. When he came to his senses, he saw Su Qingwan looking at him indifferently, and his heart inexplicably tightened.

"what happened?"

"My husband, do you have anything to tell me?"

Yan Mingjue: "..."

Now Yan Mingjue was sure that Su Qingwan was indeed unhappy.

He thought for a moment and said:

"She is my second uncle's legitimate daughter. She is favored by the family and is sometimes entrusted with handling matters at home."

"She also helped me a lot in leaving smoothly that year."

After saying these two sentences, Yan Mingjue fell silent again.

Su Qingwan sighed inwardly, knowing that he didn't want to talk, she stopped asking and just said:

"You've been working hard for a few days and you're injured. You should rest first. I'll go to the kitchen to see what I can find."

After saying that, she stood up and left.

Yan Mingjue felt that Su Qingwan was still not happy, and he knew what she wanted to know, but he didn't want to tell anyone about the past.

Even if this person is Su Qingwan.
