"Ling'er, how can you say that about Xiaoyue? She ended up like this because she was trying to save Qingjie and me!"

When Yun Qingchen heard this, his face suddenly darkened, obviously hurt by Bai Ling's words.

"Yun Qingchen, why are you yelling? She's just temporarily unable to move. It's not a big deal. She can just lie in bed and rest for a few days!"

Bai Ling was shocked by Yun Qingchen's reaction, and her dissatisfaction was evident in her words.

"Doctor Lu is describing the most optimistic scenario, but what if Xiaoyue is truly... unable to move for the rest of her life?"

There was a hint of severity in Yun Qingchen's voice, and he looked directly into Bai Ling's eyes, as if he wanted to see through her thoughts.

"Well, at worst, we can just send her back to the Hundred Flowers Kingdom to enjoy her life. She's the Queen Mother's favorite anyway. When she returns, she'll be treated like a treasure. I guarantee she'll have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy a life of wealth and glory!"

Bai Ling spoke lightly, as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Ling'er, you..."

Yun Qingchen looked at the woman in front of him with disbelief. He swept his cold eyes across her beautiful face as if he was meeting her for the first time.

Then, he turned around resolutely and walked towards the inner room with firm steps, leaving Bai Ling alone there, staring angrily at the figure that was getting farther and farther away.

As soon as he stepped into the inner room, the sight before him made Yun Qingchen pause slightly. Mu Yuhan was holding Bai Yue's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, while Bai Yue, with her unwavering tenderness, softly comforted him.

"Mother, it's okay. I've been mentally prepared for this situation. Besides, I've only temporarily lost some of my mobility. I promise I'll be full of energy again after I get some sleep!"

"I heard there's a palace banquet tonight. Don't let anyone miss out on the fun because of me. You should eat and have fun. Don't let me be the one to spoil the fun!"

"Xiaoyue, how can you be so optimistic? Do you know..."

Mu Yuhan was halfway through her words when Yun Ruiyuan gently interrupted her. He patted Mu Yuhan on the back and turned to Bai Yue with a kind smile.

"Xiaoyue, you're absolutely right. Everything is just temporary and will soon pass. Right now, the most important thing for you is to get some rest and recharge your batteries. We'll come visit you later in the day, okay?"

"Well, thank you for your concern, Father!"

It was the first time that Bai Yue saw Yun Ruiyuan so friendly, and she couldn't help but nod with a smile.

"Oh, how come you are so sensible!"

At this time, Mu Yuhan seemed unable to bear the scene in front of her. She shed tears and quickly walked out of the inner room. Yun Qingchen, Yun Qingjie and Yun Qingchi spoke almost at the same time. They looked at Bai Yue with heartache and said in unison.

"Your Majesty! Father! Please let me stay and take care of Xiaoyue!"

"Qingchen? You...are willing to stay?"

Yun Ruiyuan was quite surprised by Yun Qingchen's request. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the other party in confusion.

"Father, Xiaoyue's current situation is all due to me, so I would like to do my best to alleviate the guilt in my heart."

Yun Qingchen bowed slightly, his eyes flashing with determination and self-blame.

"Oh, that's how it is!"

After hearing this, Yun Ruiyuan was secretly glad that Yun Qingchen did not recall the past. After all, Yun Qingchi was now clamoring for Bai Yue to remarry him. If Yun Qingchen recalled their past friendship, it was likely that another wave of trouble would arise between the brothers.

"Alright, since Xiaoyue has stated that she wishes to be alone and recuperate, we should respect her wishes. All of you should follow me immediately. Xiaoyue will be carefully cared for by the palace maids, so there is no need for you to worry."

Yun Ruiyuan spoke to the three people with unquestionable majesty.

"No, the maids are clumsy and rough, how can they compare to my meticulous care!"

When Yun Qingchi heard Yun Ruiyuan's words, his face instantly showed displeasure.

"Forget it now. You three brothers have all been served since childhood. Which one of you knows how to take care of others in detail?"

Yun Shaotian said as he looked at the three of them with a mocking expression.

"And Xiaoyue has already said that she wants to be alone and quiet. If we really want to do this for her own good, we should respect her request, okay?"

"But……"

"Okay, there's nothing to worry about!"

Yun Ruiyuan's voice suddenly became serious and powerful, like a gust of wind that could not be ignored, blowing away all hesitation and dissatisfaction.

"If anyone persists in causing trouble again, I will punish him by sending him back home to reflect on his mistakes for a month. He must not leave his room for even a moment during this time!"

After these words were spoken, the three brothers could only lower their heads helplessly, and then reluctantly followed Yun Ruiyuan and Yun Shaotian and left the room where Bai Yue was.

After everyone left, Bai Yue looked at the empty surroundings and muttered to himself with a confused look on his face.

"Strange! I'm just temporarily unable to move for a few hours, so why are they all so nervous, like the sky is falling?"

"Hey, don't you humans have a saying that goes 'too much concern can lead to confusion'? These people, maybe they're just so upset because they care about you too much."

At this time, Xiao 1's voice sounded in Bai Yue's mind, speaking with a hint of joking.

"Ah, that's it!"

Bai Yue yawned loudly, and then heard Xiao 1 happily reporting in her mind.

"Haha, player, you really are a miracle worker! You're the first person I've ever seen who can make Yun Qingjie's favorability level positive!"

"Also, Yun Qingchi and Yun Qingchen's favorability towards you has now reached its maximum. This system can sense Bai Ling's luck, and it's now pouring into you!"

"..."

Unfortunately, Bai Yue didn't hear a word Xiao 1 said, because she had already been swept away by overwhelming sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep in seconds.

At this time, in a secluded forest, Sun Shaoyou was staring at a scenery in a daze, as if thinking about something. At this moment, he heard the sound of jingling bells. When he turned around, he saw Chen Yingran walking up to him with a smile on her face.

"Cousin, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

"Yes, cousin Yingran, it's been a long time since we last met. You are still as radiant as ever."

After saying that, his eyes began to wander over Chen Yingran carefully, and then he joked with a playful tone.

"Alas, cousin, it seems that those rumors about you and Prince Cheng being in love and having a special affection for each other are probably exaggerated, aren't they?"

"Look at your dull complexion and dull eyes. How can you say you've been watered by love? Could it be that Prince Cheng hasn't touched you yet..."

At this point, Sun Shaoyou deliberately kept the question in suspense, because Chen Yingran's expression had already given him the answer he wanted to know.
