Ying Bao took a look at the band-aid on her finger. Her mind was filled with images of him sucking her finger last night. Her cheeks began to bum again. She shook her head and said, âIt doesnât hurt anymore.â
âOkay. There arenât any big problems with me. You donât have to come to see me every day. Just go straight home,â Huangfu Xuanye instructed.
âL know. I just wanted to tell you about my rehearsal this afternoonâ¦â
Ying Bao began to talk about her interesting stories in school while Huangfu Xuanye listened attentively.
In the next few days, Ying Bao would attend classes and rehearse during the day. At night, she would come back to the hospital to visit Huangfu Xuanye.
âTang Feimo would occasionally come with her. He had been very well-behaved recently and did not say anything unpleasant in front of Huangfu Xuanye.
Ying Bao thought that he had changed his ways, but in reality, she did not know about the tacit agreement between the two men.
On the fifth day of Huangfu Xuanyeâs hospitalization, he was almost fully recovered. Jing Xi and Huo Yunshen came to visit him in the ward.
Huo Yunshen told him to stay in the hospital and recuperate, but Huangfu Xuanye felt that he was fine and decided to go back home.
If he continued to stay here, he would only become a distraction to Ying Bao. Therefore, leaving was the best arrangement.
Jing Xi asked, âShould we wait until Ying Bao comes back from school and inform her about this?â
âThatâs not necessary, weâll meet again next time. I promised Ying Bao that I would come to see her performance.â
He was actually afraid that Ying Bao would ask him to stay. As long as she begged him to stay, he might not be able to bear to leave.
So the best way was to leave without saying goodbye.
Jing Xi and Huo Yunshen respected Huangfu Xuanyeâs decision. Huo Yunshen ordered his men to prepare a private plane and send Huangfu Xuanye back to the Northern Kingdom safely.
After sending Huangfu Xuanye off, Huo Yunshen and Jing Xi returned to the Triumph Palace.
Yin Feng found some clues as usual and reported the situation to the king and queen.
It was only then that they realized it was a girl named Yi Na who had snuck into the palace, changed into the servantsâ clothes, and secretly drugged Huangfu Xuanyeâs wine.
Her target was also Huangfu Xuanye!
After learning the truth, Huo Yunshen immediately issued orders for this woman named Yi Na to be punished severely.
Yin Feng had investigated the background of the Yi family and learned that Yi Naâs father was the owner of a large farm in the Dragon Kingdom. Huo Yunshen ordered his men to punish him and confiscate 80% of the Yi familyâs land.
Yi Na would never have thought that her failure would bring disaster to her family.
From then on, she could no longer show off that her father was the head of an agricultural family who owned seven or eight manors.
After school, Ying Bao asked the driver to send her to the hospital to visit Huangfu Xuanye.
However, when she arrived at the hospital ward, she found it strange that the guards were at the door. She walked into the ward and saw that the beds were empty. The sheets had already been replaced too.
Ying Bao was dumbfounded!
âWhy isnât Huangfu Xuanye here?â
âDid he leave?
âWhy didnât anyone inform me?â
Ying Bao ran out of the ward in a moment of panic and happened to run into a nurse. She grabbed the nurse and asked anxiously, âMiss, may I know where the patient is?â
âThe nurse glanced at the ward and said, âHeâs gone.â
âThe nurse walked away. Ying Bao stood where she was. She had misunderstood the nurseâs words and mistakenly thought that the nurse meant that Huangfu Xuanye had passed. Her tears fell uncontrollably.
âIs Uncle dead?
Sob
Ying Bao was very upset. She ran out and asked the driver to send her back to the palace. She had to rush to the Northern Kingdom.
She thought that since Huangfu Xuanye was dead, the guards of the Northern Kingdom must have brought him back to the Northern Kingdom. Otherwise, given his personality, how could he have left without saying anything?
