"Master, Master, Master—" Yuwen Yu kept trying to call out to make Ziyan feel better.
However, at this moment, Ziyan's consciousness had gradually blurred until she completely fell into a chaotic state of unconsciousness, and thus the pain also disappeared entirely.
Two hours later, in a main room within the Inner Courtyard of the Drunken Immortal Residence, Ziyan slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard people arguing in the room. Raising her head to look in the direction of the noise, she was surprised to see Xiang Wang Ye, Ling Feng, and Qi Yu.
"You're so loud," Ziyan said as she rubbed her temples with one hand and slowly sat up straight.
At the same time, a hand reached out beside her to support her. Ziyan turned her head and realized that Doctor Mo was also in the room; he was the one helping her.
In just two or three seconds, Ziyan recalled that she had been in a large dormitory with Qi Yu and the clerks before. But now, she—
Suddenly, Ziyan remembered seeing a man who looked strikingly similar to Ji Shaochen eating a free meal here. Not long after that, she began to recall many fragments of her life before crossing over.
Perhaps due to being overly emotional, she suddenly felt a splitting headache. Then she lost consciousness, and everything that happened afterward was unknown to her.
Now in a completely unfamiliar room, Ziyan looked around and then asked Doctor Mo and the others, "Where am I?"
The next second, before Doctor Mo could respond, Qi Yu spoke up first: "Master need not worry; you are in our Inner Courtyard of the Drunken Immortal Residence. Earlier, when we saw you fainting, I took the liberty of bringing you here. There are usually no outsiders staying here; I only come here for short stays whenever I visit the capital."
"Oh! Okay, what about that guy who ate the free meal? What happened to him?" Ziyan eagerly wanted to know about that person and directly asked.
"Yan'er, what happened to you earlier?" Before anyone could answer Ziyan's question, Xiang Wang Ye and Ling Feng anxiously interrupted and began asking Ziyan. Clearly, they were unaware of what had happened at that time.
It should be noted that Xiang Wang had clearly arrived at the entrance of the Drunken Immortal Residence with Ziyan. So why did he seem to have vanished into thin air afterward?
The reason was that initially Ziyan was eager to go inside to meet the man who had eaten a free meal. However, just as she lifted her foot to enter on her own accord, Xiang Wang Ye and Ling Feng were unexpectedly blocked by a beautiful woman behind them.
This woman was the daughter of another high-ranking official in the court, and this official was considered a respected elder in the court.
As for this woman, she was famously infatuated among the children of noble families in the current court. Out of respect for this woman's father, Ling Feng had no choice but to stop. He thought he could dismiss her with just a few words.
But then this woman, who had secretly harbored feelings for Xiang Wang Ye for quite some time, seized this rare opportunity to encounter Ling Feng and began asking him all sorts of questions and engaging him in conversation without letting go.
Until the end, Ling Feng could no longer contain himself, his attitude so bad that he seemed ready to resort to violence. Only then did the woman, with tears in her eyes like a weeping pear blossom, unwilling and resentful, leave with her servants in a huff.
Of course, this was also the reason why Xiang Wang Lingfeng missed the scene where Ziyan was being rescued. By the time he entered the Drunken Immortal Residence to look for Ziyan, she had already fallen into a coma.
What frustrated him even more, and left him feeling quite perplexed, was that he had never offended this person named Qi Yu, the Head Innkeeper. Yet this Head Innkeeper treated him as if he were a wolf, guarding against him. During Ziyan's unconscious period, he had been eager to enter the room, but the Head Innkeeper stubbornly blocked him at the door, refusing to let him in.
Thus, the two of them were at an impasse, almost on the verge of fighting. Just at that moment, Qiaoqiao happened to find Ziyan waking up in time.
As Ziyan regained consciousness, she discovered that the two were arguing quite unfriendly.
"Let him in," Ziyan said with a glance at the two oddballs.
However, she felt a bit dissatisfied with Qi Yu. It seemed that ever since Qi Yu had reached some sort of agreement with her Demonically Charming Man, his attitude towards her had changed drastically from being obedient to increasingly distant and erratic.
"Yan'er, what exactly happened? I was so worried," Ling Feng said as he stretched his neck and leaned closer to Ziyan. Almost simultaneously, a long arm reached out from behind to block between them.
When everyone looked closely, who else could have such audacity? Naturally, it was that Head Innkeeper.
In an instant, the scene fell into an awkward silence. Even Ziyan felt puzzled looking at Qi Yu. How dare he repeatedly be disrespectful to His Highness, the King of Xiang!
Could it be that her Demonically Charming Man had entrusted or instructed him? Ziyan secretly speculated in her heart.
Meanwhile, Ziyan's mind was racing with thoughts.
On the other side, the two oddballs had already begun their confrontation again.
They stared fiercely at each other as if one wrong move would ignite their war.
Ziyan could only shake her head helplessly while rolling her eyes at them in a very unladylike manner.
Then she said, "If you really want to fight today, I won't stop you. But please take it outside."
With that said, Ziyan no longer paid attention to them and turned to Doctor Mo to ask again, "Doctor Mo, is that person treatable?"
"It’s hard to say, but Ziyu will do his best. The medicine has already been administered, and the poison has been cleared, but he is still in a coma. Whether he can wake up safely depends on his own fate."
Mo Ziyu spoke frankly to Ziyan, his gaze towards her was somewhat complex, as if he had something to say but hesitated.
Ziyan naturally sensed that there was something amiss, so she turned to Qi Yu and Xiang Wang Lingfeng and said, "Could you both step outside to discuss this? I have private matters to discuss with Doctor Mo."
"Uh? Oh!" "Uh? Oh!"
Almost in unison, the two oddballs echoed the same two words.
Ziyan looked at their ridiculous behavior and was unwilling to meet their eyes.
She could only privately curse: One is a dignified Prince, and the other is the head of a well-known large enterprise in the martial world, yet their actions at this moment were as childish as those of teenagers.
When the two of them sulkily left without acknowledging each other, Ziyan couldn't help but shake her head again. She muttered under her breath, "Damn it."
Mo Ziyu raised a hand to touch his nose and then coughed twice.
Ziyan merely glanced at him lightly before instructing, "Alright, speak."
"Miss Zi, this person's identity is quite suspicious. Are you not afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble by saving him so recklessly?" Mo Ziyu asked while gazing into Ziyan's eyes.
"What trouble? Do you recognize him?" Ziyan sensed the implication in Mo Ziyu's words.
"Yes. Half a year ago, I went to Yunqi Kingdom, which borders Nanchu Kingdom, in search of a rare medicinal herb. I had a brief encounter with this person. According to rumors in the martial world, he is said to be the illegitimate son of Consort Xuan from Yunqi Kingdom before she entered the palace. As a result, there are some people looking for him, while others want to take his life. Do you understand the implications of this situation now?"
Mo Ziyu nodded as he roughly outlined the man's identity and background.
After hearing Mo Ziyu's words, Ziyan's previously confused heart finally settled down. As long as he wasn't that person named Ji Shaochen from before, she didn't need to dwell on it any longer.
"What is his name?" Ziyan collected her thoughts and then asked Mo Ziyu.
Mo Ziyu nodded in response and said, "His original name is Nangong Yu, but I suspect he has many aliases among the common folk."
"Well, I understand, Doctor Mo. You know, if we are being strict, I could also call you Senior Brother! Thank you, Senior Brother Mo, for today."
Ziyan said this with a charming smile directed at Mo Ziyu.
"Hehe, Ziyu appreciates it. However, Miss Zi is destined to be the future Young Master's wife. So, we must distinguish between primary and secondary matters," Mo Ziyu replied earnestly while smiling at Ziyan.
"You have so many ridiculous rules here. Alright, I got it," Ziyan said disdainfully, curling her lip and feigning a gloomy expression, which left Mo Ziyu momentarily astonished.
Just when Ziyan thought she was almost recovered enough to get out of bed, Mo Ziyu said, "Wait a minute. I heard that the Head Innkeeper mentioned Miss Zi's headache came on suddenly. I wanted to ask if this headache is something that occurs frequently?"
"Uh? No, not really. This should be the first time in years," Ziyan casually replied.
"The first time? Oh, has Miss Zi been working hard lately?" Mo Ziyu pressed further.
"Well, a bit. Wasn't it bumpy on the way to the capital a few days ago? And sometimes at night I think too much and don't sleep well," Ziyan said thoughtfully as she shared her situation.
"Oh, I see. Well, I happen to have a bottle of a restorative pill similar to that spirit pill from years ago. You can try it," Mo Ziyu said as he took out a bottle of pills from his pocket.
Remembering the bottle of pills Mo Ziyu had given her two years ago in the capital, which had worked wonders, Ziyan immediately felt delighted and carefully accepted the bottle, tucking it away into her own embrace.
