Yelu Yan and Li Xianyun almost simultaneously withdrew their hands.

But the cup became unstable due to the force and looked as if it was about to topple over.

Yelu Yan reached out to stabilize the cup and looked towards Li Xianyun.

Li Xianyun just happened to look up at him, and their gazes intertwined.

Yelu Yan’s tiger-like eyes were indeed intimidatingly deep.

Li Xianyun hurriedly diverted her gaze to the side, clenching her small hands together. The hand that Yelu Yan had held felt a bit numb.

Yelu Yan placed the two cups to one side.

Youlan respectfully placed the medicine box on the desk, bowed deeply to both of them, and then exited.

Li Xianyun watched Youlan slowly leave the main hall, her eyes wide with surprise. What was this silly girl thinking?

She would have to question her later.

In fact, Youlan had her own difficulties. She initially wanted to stay and serve, but when she saw Yelu Yan holding her mistress’ hand and the ambiguous atmosphere stretched between them, it was simply too beautiful.

If she stayed, it might spoil the mood.

Moreover, she was a bit fearful of Yelu Yan, withdrawing was a good excuse to seek some tranquility.

Of course, Youlan wasn’t foolish; she had prepared an escape route for herself.

She had already decided that, at worst, she would be scolded by her mistress, but Li Xianyun was always so gentle, even her reprimands were soft and gentle. Youlan loved Li Xianyun without fear, not to mention dreading a scolding.

Yelu Yan watched Li Xianyun’s cute nape and teased with a laugh, “Are you so afraid to be alone with this Khan? I won’t eat you, will I?”

Li Xianyun closed her eyes in some embarrassment, turned around, and said with a smile, “Of course not, you’re very easy to get along with.”

At least easier than she had imagined, but he still gave off a very strong oppressive feeling.

This man simply stayed there quietly, doing nothing, yet it was hard to ignore his presence.

Yelu Yan watched her playfully, the corners of his mouth lifted in an unreadable smile.

Li Xianyun, feeling anxious, deliberately avoided looking at him, lifted her hand to open the medicine box, and took out the necessary items one by one, then extended her small hand towards Yelu Yan.

Yelu Yan obediently placed his rough hand in her small one.

Her hand was tiny, every fingertip, every joint was adorable.

Li Xianyun took Yelu Yan’s hand and examined it closely. The cloth was soaked with light yellow mixed with red bloodstains, and she couldn’t help but frown slightly, “Khan, did you exert yourself with this hand today?”

During the morning assembly, when Yelu Yan spoke about the collapse of the Yanzhou iron mine that killed a dozen villagers, and the Yanzhou officials suppressed the people without calming them, he slapped the table in anger, frightening the ministers into trembling with their heads bowed.

He just happened to use the injured hand, and at the time it was just a bit painful, he didn’t think much of it, but now blood had seeped through.

“I accidentally slapped the table,” said Yelu Yan, sounding somewhat guilty.

Without a word, Li Xianyun looked at him and started peeling away the cloth wrapped around his hand.

Her actions were gentle and meticulous, for fear of causing Yelu Yan any pain.

The blood had caused the cloth to stick tightly to his hand, and pulling it off would tug at the wound, causing pain—a painful sensation indeed.

As she reached the last layer, Li Xianyun looked up at Yelu Yan and said, “Please endure a little.”

“Alright,” Yelu Yan watched her serious little face and laughed, “Are you angry?”

“No,” Li Xianyun said tersely, and then focused on peeling off the soft cloth.

Yelu Yan laughed, “Next time, this Khan will definitely be careful.”

Li Xianyun glanced at him and, after a long pause, finally said, “Perhaps it’s because I used to be a physician, but whenever I see patients or injured people aggravating their illness or wounds by not taking good care of themselves, I get particularly angry.”

As she spoke, she had already taken off the soft cloth.

The wound on Yelu Yan’s hand had indeed split open a bit more, and the places that had started to scab over had also cracked.

Wounds on the hand are quite sensitive, and must be very painful. How had this man endured it?

If she hadn’t taken the initiative to dress his wound, he probably wouldn’t have cared about it at all.

Li Xianyun looked up at Yelu Yan and found that he was also looking at her, causing her to freeze.

She was clearly angry, and Yelu Yan laughed, “Do you want to leave the palace? This Khan will take you out for a walk.”

That way, your mood will get a bit better.

Li Xianyun didn’t know why he suddenly brought this up and said, “I don’t wish to leave the palace; there are other matters I need to attend to.”

“What are you going to do?” Yelu Yan asked.

Li Xianyun realized that Yelu Yan had been particularly inquisitive today. Had something happened?

“Khan, do you remember Wu Mu? He said that many people at the Imperial Medical Bureau want to learn acupuncture and acupoint from me, so I’m thinking of drawing an Acupoint Map of the human body, which will be very convenient when explaining later,” Li Xianyun said.

New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.

She always had so many surprises for him. Yelu Yan gave her a glance and then fell silent.

Li Xianyun applied the ointment for him and began wrapping the soft cloth bit by bit, tying it off and instructing, “Khan, please don’t exert force with this hand for the time being, otherwise the wound will split open again.”

“Ok.”

Li Xianyun collected her medical kit and said, “Khan, I will take my leave first, and I will call you when the meal is ready.”

“Hmm.”

Li Xianyun walked toward the door with the medicine box in hand.

Yelu Yan stood up and looked at her graceful figure, a smile unwittingly spreading across his lips.

Only after her silhouette disappeared at the door did he approach the desk to review memorials and called out, “Someone come.”

Jinwu immediately entered, bowing deeply and said, “Greetings, Khan.”

Yelu Yan spoke indifferently, “I want you to investigate what exactly happened at the horse racing event. There were three ladies who blocked the Empress during the race. Find out who they are, and from now on, they are not allowed to set foot in the Imperial Palace ever again.”

Jinwu bowed and said, “I understand.”

As he retreated, he thought to himself, which three unlucky ones dared to cross the Empress? With the Khan’s word, these three ladies are done for. They won’t be able to hold their heads up among the officials’ families, nor will any reputable family dare to form connections with them.

Their lives are essentially over.

But, aren’t you being a bit too harsh, Khan? They just caused some inconvenience for the Empress; there’s no need to ruin these girls’ futures.

Ji Xueyuan had just returned to Nanwang Mansion when the butler greeted him at the door, saying, “Prince, the Commandery Princess disappeared without a trace after coming out from the horse racing event. The Empress has already sent people to search for her, and the Princely Heir has come back from the barracks, but her whereabouts are still unknown. The Empress asked me to wait for you here and inquire what should be done?”

Ji Xueyuan’s brow furrowed deeply as he said, “What should be done? Send people to search immediately! If anything happens to Chuchu, no one in the entire household will get off lightly!”

The butler hurriedly responded, “Yes!”
