Qian Xia brought the calming soup. Yu Jingchen took the medicine from Qian Xia's hand, gently adjusted Nan Zhiyun, and then fed her the soup.
"Calming soup, drink it first, alright?" Yu Jingchen said.
Nan Zhiyun watched as the soup was brought to her lips. She drank it down without any hesitation, finishing the entire bowl obediently.
After the bowl was finished, Yu Jingchen thoughtfully wiped her mouth. "Do you want to sleep for a while?" he asked. Nan Zhiyun shook her head, her face slightly pale and drawn.
"Then I'll stay with you for a while?" Yu Jingchen asked.
"Mm," Nan Zhiyun nodded. kuAiδugg
This was what Yu Jingchen felt was the biggest change. Even though Nan Zhiyun was still afraid, as she had been before, she now no longer wanted to escape from him but rather relied on him. This was a good transformation.
Nan Zhiyun actively approached Yu Jingchen, leaning into his embrace. She stayed there quietly, saying nothing. Yu Jingchen didn't want to disturb her.
Suddenly, Nan Zhiyun seemed to recall something. She began to search her person for something, and Yu Jingchen raised an eyebrow to watch her. Finally, Nan Zhiyun produced it – the golden plaque.
"I used it..." Nan Zhiyun took out the golden plaque, wanting to give it to Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen was amused by Nan Zhiyun's action. How could she be so adorable? There was a hint of foolishness in her cuteness, and she seemed to be pouting slightly.
"Didn't I tell you before? It's unlimited," Yu Jingchen took Nan Zhiyun's hand and placed the golden plaque back into her embrace. "As long as it's with you, it will always be valid," he said softly.
Unlimited uses? Nan Zhiyun looked at Yu Jingchen again. "It can be used as many times as I want?" she was genuinely surprised this time.
"Of course, as many times as you want. So don't give it back to me. Our uses are unlimited. Whenever, Yun'er can use it," Yu Jingchen said. Was he giving her the capital to "act recklessly"?
Nan Zhiyun was dazed upon hearing this. Yu Jingchen's heart softened, and he couldn't resist kissing her on the lips.
Nan Zhiyun's eyes widened, uncomprehending. Yu Jingchen merely pecked her lightly, not deeply, and soon pulled away.
"Yun'er looked quite delicious just now, I couldn't help myself," Yu Jingchen chuckled, his hand naturally resting on her head.
A blush crept onto Nan Zhiyun's pale face. She was feeling shy.
"Did Your Majesty... not get injured before?" Oh, finally, they were getting to the important matter?
"No matter when, Yun'er must know that no one can injure me so easily. If it were that easy, I would have died hundreds of times over. So from now on, no matter how badly I seem to be injured, Yun'er must not worry, okay?" Yu Jingchen told her.
Nan Zhiyun seemed to understand but not quite. "So, Your Majesty knew about this beforehand today? Then..." Nan Zhiyun trailed off.
"Yun'er, just ask whatever you want to ask directly. Don't be afraid. Ask me whatever you want to know, alright? Don't have too many reservations," Yu Jingchen slowly guided her to speak.
Nan Zhiyun hesitated. She was a little worried, unsure how to phrase her question. But since Yu Jingchen had said this, she finally asked, "So, Your Majesty already knew about the Empress Dowager and Father today?"
