After being thoroughly violated, he ran away with the enemy emperor's child.

"Yes."

The snow lotus in front of him emitted a faint fragrance. Mo Yan looked at it for a while and then had it sent to the Imperial Hospital: "Check its efficacy and whether it is harmful."

The people at the Imperial Medical Academy had never seen a snow lotus before. After examining it, they could only determine that it was harmless, but they could not determine its medicinal effects.

Unable to obtain an accurate result, Mo Yan couldn't wait that long. He immediately instructed Physician Liu to prepare the medicine and then presented it to Chu Junci.

"Aci, Physician Liu prescribed a new formula today. Drink it, and your body will surely recover soon."

Chu Junci didn't want to drink the medicine. He frowned, looking at the dark liquid in front of him. "My injury is already healed."

The wound had already scabbed over, and he had taken a lot of supplements during this time, so he thought he was fine.

"Listen to me." Mo Yan's face was full of disapproval.

"Although your wound has scabbed over, it is still deep in your heart and needs to be carefully healed."

Mo Yan was afraid that his Aci would suffer from aftereffects that would affect her lifespan, so he kept feeding Aci supplements like water.

He made several preparations. In addition to the snow lotus, he also had people search for precious medicinal herbs in various places. Anything that could help Aci recover was sent to the palace.

This made Chu Junci feel that he had gained a lot of weight, but in Mo Yan's mind, he was still so thin that he looked like he could be blown away by the wind.

"Aci, be good."

Mo Yan patiently coaxed, "Once you've fully recovered, I'll never force you to drink these things again."

"I hope you recover quickly so I can take you with me to the hunt in seven days."

Mo Yan is going to the hunting grounds, and he certainly won't leave Chu Junci alone in the palace. He can only feel at ease if he keeps her under his watchful eye.

"..."

Chu Junci remained silent, took the medicine, and slowly drank it.

"Aci is so good."

Mo Yan kissed his lips and then gave him a candied fruit: "During the hunt, Aci, remember to stay by my side obediently."

"Um."

Chu Junci didn't say anything. He knew that Wu Xu had already gone to the hunting grounds. According to their agreement, Wu Xu would leave a gap in the hunting grounds.

At that time...

He raised his eyes slightly and looked at Mo Yan's face. To be fair, Mo Yan had been very good to him, but he had his own responsibilities to bear.

He was not Mo Ci, but Chu Ling, the emperor of Yong Kingdom. This meant that he could not simply stay in Mo Yan's harem and act out the drama of monarch and empress with him.

Moreover, he couldn't tell Mo Yan his true identity, otherwise... he definitely wouldn't be able to return to Yong Kingdom.

The thought flashed through Chu Junci's mind, and he couldn't help but think: If Yong and Zhao could get along peacefully, perhaps...

Realizing what he was thinking, he quickly shook off the thought and dared not think about it anymore.

After taking the medicine, he felt sleepy again, and Mo Yan helped him lie down: "Go to sleep, I'll watch over you."

"Um."

Lying on the couch, Chu Junci closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

In his dream, he heard someone say to him, "Chu Ling, I want to be your friend."

"Chu Ling, do you like your younger brother?"

"Chu Ling..."

"Ah Ling..."

The sound was continuous, but he couldn't tell where it was coming from, or even see the person's face.

The dream was bizarre and fantastical, finally settling on a lotus flower missing a petal...

"Ah Ling, the snow lotus is related to your fate; you must protect it."

"We must not let others take it away from us."

The next moment, another familiar voice said, "We cannot let Mo Yan cure the poison, otherwise he will attack Yong Kingdom."

"The suffering and misery of the people were inevitable."

"The destiny that only you can change."

This time, Chu Junci finally saw clearly who was speaking to him—it was—
