In the quick transmigration story, the most popular female supporting character is both delicate and

Han Yicheng's lips curled up slightly as he looked up at her, his gaze mocking. "My parents died long ago."

"...", I forgot about that.

Han Yicheng tossed the removed gauze aside and gestured for Yun Yao to fetch the porcelain bottle on the table, "Help me apply the medicine."

Before the gauze was removed, Yun Yao didn't find it scary; at most, there was just a bit more blood on the gauze.

But when she saw the wound beneath the gauze...

Han Yicheng, seeing that she remained motionless, turned to look at her and asked, "Is it scary?"

"It's... not bad."

Han Yicheng chuckled, "If it's alright, why are you stuttering?"

"...I just haven't seen it before."

Han Yicheng looked at Yun Yao's lips, which had turned a little pale, and raised his hand to press her lips together. "I knew I shouldn't have let you help me change them. Your lips have turned white from fright."

“…”, Yun Yao pushed his hand away and pursed her lips, “It’s from the cold, the wind is too strong outside.”

"Heh," Han Yicheng chuckled at her forced attempt to save face, "Yeah, it's from the cold."

Seeing that Yun Yao was really scared, Han Yicheng decided to apply the medicine himself.

But as soon as he picked up the medicine bottle, Yun Yao snatched it away.

"Is it because I can't apply the medicine myself?"

Han Yicheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Aren't you afraid?"

Yun Yao said confidently, "Of course I'm not afraid!"

Han Yicheng looked at her with great interest, his eyes seemingly smiling but not quite.

Although she couldn't help clenching her teeth while applying the medicine...

At first glance, the bloody and mangled wounds were horrifying.

But after looking at it for a while, I actually started to accept it.

Yunyao was moved from a relatively far position to the inside, making it easier to apply the medicine more carefully.

Han Yicheng looked at the person in front of him who was focused and attentive as they applied the medicine to him...

Her fair and flawless skin had a faint pink tint.

Her eyes were clear as water, clean and bright.

He could almost see his reflection in her eyes.

It was as if he was the only person in her heart and mind...

It makes you want to keep her hidden away.

As Yun Yao applied the medicine, she asked, "Does it hurt?"

Her beautiful eyes were slightly upturned, and her gaze was filled with the gentle ripples of autumn water.

From Han Yicheng's perspective, it was quite like a pitiful, pleading look after being bullied so badly.

His voice was slightly hoarse, "A little."

Yun Yao had already moved very gently, but he was still in pain...

As she applied the medicine, she breathed into the wound, asking, "Does it still hurt?"

Han Yicheng felt the warm breath from Yun Yao's exhalation, and his fingers curled slightly. "It doesn't hurt anymore."

After applying the medicine, wrap the bandage properly.

Han Yicheng put on his clothes and was about to ask Yun Yao if she could come again to change his dressing next time...

Xie Qingye's clear voice came from outside, "Yun Yao, where are you?"

Yun Yao put the bandages and medicine back in their place, turned around, and pulled back the curtain to go out. "Is it over so quickly?"

Xie Qingye's voice was tinged with exasperation, "It's all because of Xiao Yan, he's always trying to take things from me, he goes wherever I go."

Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly. "Clearly, I am the better one!"

"...Hmph, Amo doesn't want that imperial green jadeite gold thread pendant anyway, I really don't know what use it is for you to win the first prize."

Xiao Yan's voice was cold, "Just change it."

"..." Xie Qingye was speechless. If he hadn't tried to take it from him earlier, would he have needed to switch now?

Xiao Yan handed the imperial green jadeite pendant with gold thread to Yun Yao, saying, "It's yours."

Yun Yao glanced at Xie Qingye, and only after seeing him nod did she take the things from Xiao Yan's hands.

Xiao Yan's gaze remained quietly fixed on her, his slightly parted lips revealing a hint of tenderness that was barely perceptible.

Han Yicheng listened to the sounds outside from inside the tent, his brows furrowing slightly, and his originally gentle and moist eyes were tinged with a hint of sharp coldness.

In the evening, the emperor, empress, officials, and their families dined together.

Xie Qingye's seat was opposite, and he instructed a servant to bring the sandalwood fan to Su Yimo.

Incidentally, he instructed a servant to bring some dishes from the table to Xiao Yan, saying only that he couldn't finish them.

Xiao Yan looked at the dishes that had been served, then glanced at the person beside him whose eyes were shining, and chuckled softly.

With slender fingers, she picked up the bowl and plate and placed them in front of Su Yimo. "These are all your favorite dishes."

Yun Yao bit her lip and glared at Xiao Yan resentfully, even though she loved to eat it too.

Su Yimo's smile froze for a moment before she reluctantly agreed, "Mm."

After dinner, all the bowls and plates on the table were removed and replaced with fruit platters.

The emperor said that Xiao Yan had performed very well today and had won the top prize.

After praising Xiao Yan...

Then Xie Qingye was mentioned again.

“I watched you hunt from the observation deck. You're still the same as when you were kids, always believing that what you get from the other is the best.”

Unfortunately, the prize you received, Qingye, was given to you by Xiao Yan.

They've been fighting over it, but they still can't separate them.

The Empress chimed in, "The Crown Prince is already married. Does Qingye have someone he's interested in? Tonight is the perfect opportunity. Why don't we ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage?"

Xie Qingye lifted his robe and knelt on one knee.

"Qingye has no one in mind yet. Moreover, my only wish is to defend the city and maintain peace. In the end, I will die as a bandit. Getting married would only delay a good girl's life."

The Emperor did not force him, but said, "Let's also leave an heir for your Xie family."

The Xie family has been known for its loyalty and bravery since the founding of the dynasty, making them an ideal asset for the emperor.

Unfortunately, Xie Qingye was not very obedient and firmly stood with the Crown Prince's faction from beginning to end.

Unfortunately, the crown prince was ambitious and dreamed of one day turning the tables and taking his place.

He wanted an obedient dog, not an emperor to replace him.

There can only be one emperor from beginning to end.

If necessary, he wouldn't mind making Xie Qingye the last of the Xie family line.

Xie Qingye understood the emperor's meaning, but coincidentally, he also had other thoughts, only wondering who would win in the end.

However, His Majesty the Emperor is getting old, and the empire will eventually change hands.

"Your Majesty, the matter of having an heir is predetermined, and I have no reason to be anxious about it."

The emperor sighed, "Very well."

Yun Yao didn't understand the undercurrents in the conversation; she only understood that the sandalwood fan was a prize set by Xiao Yan.

No wonder Su Yimo wanted that.

-

The autumn hunt ended quickly.

Back in the capital.

Yun Yao heard that the concubine whom Xiao Yan had previously favored was pregnant.

But not long after, she suddenly miscarried.

Wen Linyue remained arrogant and haughty, ordering this person and that person around all day long.

Su Yimo remained the same as before, gentle and unassuming.

That makes sense, since Xiao Yan spends all his time with her and they have a very close relationship, there's no need for her to compete for his favor.

However, Yun Yao hadn't seen Xie Qingye for a long time, and rarely saw Xiao Yan either. The Daydream Pavilion was deserted, with only her and Mu Mu there all day long.

Winter was fast approaching.

The weather is getting colder every day.

Mu Mu wanted to get more charcoal from the person in charge.

But in the end, he returned home full of anger.

"The person in charge said that we have a limited supply of charcoal and cannot give more than that."

But when Su Yimo's roommates went to get it, they gave her a lot.

I tried to reason with them, but they just kicked me out.

Perhaps it's because winter is here, or perhaps it's something else... Yun Yao suddenly felt a little homesick.

"Mumu, how about I ask His Highness the Crown Prince if I can go home and stay for a few days?"

"Okay!" Mu Mu had clearly been holding onto this idea for a long time. "But, will His Highness the Crown Prince allow us to go back?"
