Xie Xuanchen vaguely saw a figure approaching him, and the raging killing intent told him, kill, don’t let go of anyone who approaches! But another voice reminded him that she was different from those people and he shouldn’t kill her.
Two completely opposite voices wrestled with each other in his brain, sawing back and forth, stimulating his brain as it twitched in pain. Xie Xuanchen couldn’t bear it any longer, he suddenly moved his hand. Everyone felt that the Princess Qiyang was about to die. However, the next moment, Mu Mingtang was still safe and sound, Xie Xuanchen reached out and banged on his forehead, he looked like he was in extreme pain.
Mu Mingtang finally approached him. She didn’t care about the endless tears, she reached out and hugged Xie Xuanchen’s arm, trying to stop him from moving: “My Lord, I’m back. Let’s go back and sleep for a while and you’ll be fine. Don’t hurt yourself.”
Xie Xuanji looked at the scene in astonishment and shock. He couldn’t help but remind Mu Mingtang that she shouldn’t touch a person who was in a manic state. Does Mu Mingtang really want to die that bad?
But Xie Xuanji didn’t say anything in the end, and the rest of the people did the same. The courtyard was full of iron armor. At this moment, they silently watched the weak Princess Qiyang surround the fierce tiger, and even tried to stop the tiger from harming itself with her own rabbit-like power. Xie Xuanchen pushed Mu Mingtang away with his remaining rationality, and said, “I’m fine, you stay away from me.”
Xie Xuanchen pushed Mu Mingtang away, and she ran back on her own, she was like sticky candy which couldn’t be shaken away: “If you’re feeling better, I’ll assist you back to your room. I’ll summon the imperial physicians and they’ll definitely cure you.”
Xie Xuanchen pushed her away several times but she still came back. Just now with the tough warriors, he could send each one flying with just a slap, but he couldn’t get rid of Mu Mingtang. Xie Xuanchen was already trying his best to suppress the mania in his mind. At this moment, he felt that the veins in his arm pop: “Go away!”
“I live here, where do you want me to go? My Lord, let’s go home.”
Xie Xuanchen didn’t know which word hit him, but this time he didn’t push Mu Mingtang away. Mu Mingtang only helped him walk for two steps, and Xie Xuanchen was suddenly seeped of all energy and collapsed towards the ground.
“My Lord, My Lord!”

In the Chui Gong Hall, Xie Rui suddenly swept a pile of memorials to the throne on the ground, the pen and ink fell along with it, everyone bowed down low, no one dared to even flinch.
Xie Rui was fuming with anger. He threw something and walked in front of everyone, he pointed and cursed at them one by one: “I ordered all of you to look closely after him. But what did you guys do? All of you were all so confident, but he had woken up from his coma for so long, he even unlocked the chain and walked outside the manor, by then, you all still didn’t even know!”
No one dared to speak, they let the emperor rage at them. From the imperial physicians, the imperial judges to Xie Xuanji, Xie Rui scolded each one bitterly, he felt dizzy from the anger: “You guys are just way too good, no wonder you’re all my loyal subordinates and son! Prince Jin, when did he actually wake up?”
Xie Xuanji felt bitter. He really didn’t know. He also wanted to know when Xie Xuanchen did wake up.
Xie Xuanji had a very bad guess in his heart. It must be the time when he went to Yu Lin Hall to talk to Mu Mingtang, Xie Xuanchen vomited some blood halfway through. That’s the time when Xie Xuanchen got out of his coma. After that, Xie Xuanchen pretended to feel exhausted and passed out. But in fact, he didn’t.
His confidant reminded Xie Xuanji that soldiers can be very deceitful, and Xie Xuanji obviously took it to heart, but he still fell into his trap. Xie Xuanji didn’t dare to tell the emperor that Xie Xuanchen had woken up before, now that the emperor had guessed the story, he for sure didn’t want to mention it to him. If he said it, the smaller issue would be that he had something going on with his cousin sister-in-law. However, just by concealing the incident and not reporting to the emperor, the emperor could punish him for the crime of deceit.
