"Your Highness came all the way here today to take a rest. This subject will not disturb Your Highness any further. Please rest first. This subject will arrange a feast to welcome Your Highness tonight."

The Law King's gaze was indistinct, never leaving Helian Manqiu. That youth weakly leaned against the wheelchair, his entire body trembling, his clothes rippling nonstop. Was it due to the severe injuries, or was it due to him being nervous when he first saw him?

According to the rumors, he was the one with unwavering command and the one with the greatest authority. It couldn't be that he was such a nervous person when he saw the prince.

Maybe he was still young and had never seen the world before, or maybe …

The Law King's gaze turned dark and uncertain. He looked deeply at Helian Manqiu and said with a smile, "Is Qingyu not feeling well?"

Intense pain caused her to suddenly wake up. She had just heard King Lu's question and knew that she had lost her composure too much in front of him in front of all these people.

Normally, if she lost her composure in front of Gan Gongxuan and no one else was present, Gan Gongxuan wouldn't blame her. But today, there were still the subordinates of the Law King, Gan Gongxuan, and the generals under Gan Gongxuan's command.

He stretched out a hand to support his forehead, his lips trembling slightly. He wanted to say something, but his mouth suddenly became dry and he was unable to say a single word.

"Your Highness, please forgive us. A few days ago, Qingyu was punished and whipped by this official. In addition, his old injuries were not yet healed, and he has been working hard recently on the matters of the Military Region." His body is not feeling well today, so he barely managed to make it out of the city to welcome His Highness. I apologize in front of His Highness, and beg for His Highness's forgiveness. "

Gan Yuxuan got up, lifted his clothes, and knelt on one knee as he said a few words in a calm voice.

"Men, bring Helian Qing Yu down first. Do not be rude in front of His Highness and offend him."

"Yes."

The two generals under Gan Yuxuan immediately pushed Helian Manqiu's wheelchair out. Helian Manqiu simply leaned against the wheelchair, her face as pale as paper, her body still trembling slightly with her eyes closed.

"Since that's the case, then this king has the best military doctor following by his side. This king can give Qing Yu a diagnosis and cure so that he won't be harmed."

"Thank you Your Highness, this subject thanks Your Highness for Qingyu's kindness. Qingyu's condition is all treated by Godly Doctor Lu Keyu, and he has always known of his condition, so I do not dare trouble Your Highness."

"Marquis Qing Tian, please get up. There's no need to be so courteous."

King Lu smiled and personally helped Gan Zhixuan up, allowing him to sit down.

"Your Highness, I will not disturb your rest. Please rest for a moment, I will come back in the afternoon to await your orders."

This was the third time Gan Yuxuan had said his goodbyes. King Lu muttered to himself for a moment before nodding his head, "Marquis Qing Tian is busy with military matters, go handle military matters. This king is indeed a little tired, rest for a while."

Gan Yuxuan and his generals excused themselves and walked out of the library to see Helian Manqiu leaning against the wheelchair with her eyes tightly closed. She raised her head towards the sunlight.

"Qing Yu, what happened to you?"

Gan Yuxuan strode over to Helian Manqiu's side and grabbed her wrist with a slight force. Then, he lowered his head to look at her.

Helian Manqiu shook her head, still feeling completely powerless. Only the faces of Mo Bai and King Lu constantly overlapped and separated. It was hard to tell which face was Mo Bai's and which was King Lu's.

"Open your eyes and look at me."

Gan Yuxuan's big hand pinched her shoulder as Helian Manqiu finally opened her eyes. However, she was unable to control her body's trembling as she raised her head to look at Gan Yuxuan.

"Qing Yu, are you not feeling well?"

Nodding her head, she did not dare to speak, lest she call out Mo Bai's name.

"I'll bring you back for treatment."

Gan Yuxuan lifted Helian Manqiu up from the wheelchair. Helian Manqiu's arms were tightly wrapped around her. Her arms were so tight that her head was pressed against his chest. Both of Gan Gong's powerful arms made her feel a bit of warmth and strength, and the tremors gradually lightened.

"Take me back."

A voice that could not be heard, entered Gan Zhixuan's ears, and a feeling of pity suddenly appeared in his heart. He was only fourteen years old, but he was still only fourteen.

Jumping onto the warhorse, he first urged the horse to gallop towards the garrison and tightly embraced Helian Manqiu in his arms, ignoring the surrounding generals and the astonished gazes of his subordinates.

The generals looked at each other in dismay. It was still Helian Manqiu's men who jumped onto their horses first and followed behind Jia Yu Xuan. Afterwards, the generals mounted their horses and galloped towards the garrison.

Gan Yuxuan immediately urged his horse to enter the back of the mansion, and ignored the gazes of the guards and servants, letting those people kneel on the ground. Jumping off the horse, he carried Helian Manqiu into the room and gently placed her on the bed.

"Someone, go and call Lu Keyu over."

"No, don't call him."

Helian Manqiu took a deep breath and finally opened her mouth to speak. She looked up at Gan Shixuan and said, "Hand me a cup of water. I'm fine."

Gan Yuxuan turned around and took a glass of water. He placed it next to Helian Man's lips and held Helian Manqiu's back, giving her a few mouthfuls of water.

"Are you really alright?"

Helian Manqiu nodded and smiled weakly, "There's no need to call Lu Keyu over. I'm fine."

"There's no need to pass along the route, all of you retreat."

The servants and janissaries hurriedly retreated from Helian Manqiu's courtyard and watched from afar.

Helian Manqiu lowered her head to look at the sunlight shining in through the door. She was confused. Was the Law King really Mo Bai?

"Qing Yu …"

Gan Zhixuan called out in a low voice. He originally wanted to ask her why she had lost her soul when she saw the Law King today. In the end, he did not ask about it and lightly sighed. He pulled over a chair and sat beside Helian Manqiu, looking at her.

"My lord, I've lost my composure today. Will it bring you trouble?"

"No, it's good as long as you're fine."

Helian Manqiu was silent. She raised her eyes to look at Gan Jianxuan. He still looked too much like that man.

Could it be that the people from her world, the ones she meant, the ones she had passed away, her relatives, lovers, and enemies, would all come with her to this strange Great Hengkong, to meet her in this way?

If so, what kind of place was this?

Now that those people had arrived and she was here, what would happen?

She suddenly raised her hand and touched Gan Zhixuan's face. She carefully drew the lines of Gan Zhixuan's face with her fingers, as if she wanted to completely engrave the outline of Gan Zhixuan's face into her heart.

Gan Shiyu's pupils were dark and serene as he lightly looked at Helian Manqiu. His expression was as cold as ever. He did not waver nor did he stop her, allowing that softness to stroke and draw on his face.

"Have you touched enough?"

"Gan Feixuan, you're so beautiful."

Helian Manqiu said with a wry smile. Her hands fell off Gan Jianxuan's face and she sat up straighter. No one dared to approach her from outside, so she didn't need to worry about being seen by others.

"How dare you!"

Gan Yuxuan reprimanded him as he stared at Helian Manqiu with a warning gaze: "His Highness the King of Law is not this grandpa, so he won't tolerate you being so presumptuous. If there's nothing else, get up and let this grandpa have a look."

Helian Manqiu slowly got up from the bed and walked a few steps to the ground. She walked to the door and looked outside. She smiled to indicate to the people outside that they could be at ease. Those people were standing far away from the courtyard gate. No one dared to take a step forward. Seeing Helian Manqiu smile at them, they all let out a sigh of relief.

After gently closing the door, Helian Manqiu walked to Gan Jianxuan's side. She tilted her head and looked at him, "My lord will not blame me for today's matter, right?"

"As for His Highness, this lord wants to see how you're going to explain it."

"I only need to explain it to my lord. What does King Lu want to do with me?" Why should I explain it to him? "I'm sick, very sick, and I need to stay in my room to recuperate. Even though the Law King is your highness prince, he still can't make things difficult for a patient like me, right?"

"You just want to pretend to be sick. How long is that going to take?"

"Then he should be sick to the point of King Lu leaving. What does master think?"

Gan Yuxuan got up and picked up Helian Manqiu. He lowered his head and stared at her: "Don't try to act so delicate and pitiful in front of me. You owe me an explanation today. You'd better think about it and tell me."

"Can you be more generous and forget what happened today? This lowly general is extremely grateful. "

"Don't even think about it!"

Gan Yuxuan raised his hand and threw Helian Manqiu onto the bed: "Since you're sick, then just stay in your room. I'll break your legs if you dare to take a step outside the courtyard door."

"Haha …"

Behind him came her chuckle, suppressed and laughing behind his back, without fear. Gan Yuxuan looked back and met Helian Manqiu's smiling, innocent gaze.

Seeing Gan Jianxuan's eyes narrow, she hurriedly curled up her body. She blinked and said in a low voice, "My lord, this general doesn't dare to disobey my lord's orders. I will lie down on this bed to recuperate, and without my lord's order, I will not take a single step outside the courtyard."

Gan Zhixuan coldly snorted. He turned around, walked out of the room, and left in large strides.

Lu Kaiyu was the first to rush into Helian Manqiu's room, "Young General, how are you? Do you feel any discomfort when I check your pulse? "

Soon after, Chen Yu Yang and the rest rushed into Helian Manqiu's room and looked at her with worried eyes.

"I'm fine, just do whatever you have to do. Tell the public that I'm severely ill and have to rest in bed to recuperate. In the past few days, I will be recuperating in my room. It's good as long as you guys have something to take care of. "

"Young General, how are you? Are you feeling unwell? "

Lu Kaiyu worriedly placed his finger on Helian Manqiu's wrist, and a moment later, raised his hand.

"Divine Doctor Lu, is there something wrong with the young general's body?"

Lu Keyu shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with it. The young general's wounds have also healed. Why is the young general feeling unwell today?"

"There's nothing wrong with my body, it's just that I don't feel well when I see King Lu, and I remember father's matter …"

Helian Manqiu gave a long sigh and did not continue. She could only use this kind of excuse to evade what had happened today.

"So that's how it is. If it wasn't for the law king secretly colluding with the fresh and inferior, and even sending experts to pretend to be the fresh and inferior soldiers, the general wouldn't …"

Zhongda clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, speaking out in anger.

Ding Ziyang grabbed Zhong Da's fist, "Don't be rash. You can't say these words out loud, lest others find out and cause trouble. Now that the Law King is here, we should be more careful in our words and deeds.

"Second Brother, I understand. I am just saying it here."
