The Year of Lihua: She Was Reborn

Hua Ye came out of the wooden basin, his body wet, as if he had lost all his strength, leaning there limply.

Her eyes were confused, her consciousness gradually blurred, and she finally fell into a deep sleep.

Xuzhi carefully picked her up from the water and gently wrapped her delicate body with the snow-white inner garment.

Then, he picked up Hua Ye horizontally as if she were a precious treasure, and gently placed her on the warm and comfortable kang.

Hua Ye's beautiful hair fell on the pillow like a waterfall, swaying gently in the breeze... However, the wet hair that had just come out of the bath was quickly dried out by the heat.

She turned slightly, as if trying to find a more comfortable position, but the soreness in her body prevented her from doing so. Her frown showed her discomfort at the moment, but she still kept her eyes closed, showing no sign of waking up.

Xu Zhi looked at Hua Ye silently, with a trace of imperceptible tenderness and love in his eyes. He carefully tucked the corner of the quilt for her to ensure that she would not catch a cold.

Then, he adjusted his undergarment and slowly lay down beside her. A large hand reached out and gently grasped her slender waist, feeling her warmth.

Xuzhi showed a satisfied expression on his face, and then closed his eyes, which were originally scarlet but gradually turned cold.

In this way, they slept for another full day and night...

Meanwhile, the Eastern Palace was in turmoil over Hua Ye's disappearance. Everyone searched everywhere, anxiously searching, but they still couldn't find her whereabouts.

The entire palace was filled with an atmosphere of tension and unease, and a huge uproar had already begun...

Li Li leaned weakly on the high couch, his face as pale as paper, but with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth, he muttered to himself.

"I didn't even think of that person. I've been searching for him for so many days in vain!" His voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of regret and anger.

Suddenly, as if coming to his senses, he sat up straight and shouted loudly.

"Chongming, Chongming... immediately send people to the Zuo Mansion and the Hua Mansion to inquire about a man named 'Xuzhi'! Miss Hua calls him 'Master Xuzhi'! You must find this man for me!"

There was determination and resoluteness in his peach blossom eyes, as if he was determined to find this person named Xuzhi.

"Yes, I'll send someone to investigate right away!" Chongming replied with a fist salute, then turned around and was about to leave.

However, just as he was about to step out of the room, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly called out to him, "Wait!"

Chongming stopped, turned around in confusion, and looked at his master: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Li Li frowned and said solemnly, "You must be cautious. I have seen with my own eyes that this person is not only a skilled martial artist, but also a master of sorcery, and is ruthless and merciless. Report his location immediately upon learning it, and do not act rashly, lest you alert the enemy."

Chongming's heart trembled, knowing full well the difficulty of this mission. He had heard of Master Xuzhi's reputation in the Weihua Army a long time ago, but he still nodded firmly, indicating that he understood what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant.

Li Li then instructed, "Also, try not to engage in direct confrontation with the enemy. If you discover any unusual situation, report it immediately without any delay. Remember, the first priority is to find Miss Hua's hiding place..."

Chongming bowed again and promised, "I obey your command, Your Highness. Please rest assured!" After that, he turned and left.

Chongming secretly made up his mind to live up to his mission and complete this important reconnaissance mission.

Chongming lifted his right foot and easily jumped off the horse and walked into the gate of Zuo Mansion.

At this moment, the Zuo Mansion was completely silent, as if shrouded in death. Zuo Nian, who had been unconscious for two days and one night, still showed no signs of waking up.

The entire mansion was filled with a heavy and depressing atmosphere, making people feel suffocated and desperate.

In the purple bamboo forest in the courtyard, the sound of Mrs. Zuo crying could be heard from time to time.

She cried so heartbrokenly, as if she wanted to pour out all her pain and sorrow, and along with her crying, she prayed devoutly to God.

"Please, God! Please bless my son to wake up soon and let him recover quickly. If possible, I hope he can forget that girl from the Hua family as soon as he opens his eyes, so that he will not be hurt again..."

Mrs. Zuo's words were filled with helplessness and sorrow, which moved people. Her heart was filled with love and worry for her son, but she was powerless to do anything.

We can only hope for God's blessing and hope for a miracle. However, will fate have mercy on this poor mother? Perhaps only time will tell.
