Chapter 26 - What's A Swim Ring?

"Oh…"

Su Nuan looked enlightened and said, "I'll go in and see my brother."

She knew that Su Qinghan would never die.

As the male protagonist of the novel, she knew he would survive even if he only had one breath left.

No, even if he stopped breathing altogether, he could still come back to life.

After all, according to the original storyline, the male protagonist would be alone for the rest of his life.

She lifted the curtains and stepped in. A faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

She couldn't see clearly, so she asked Eunuch Wang to hold a lamp.

Su Qinghan laid there shivering. She touched his forehead. It felt boiling, but he was still alive.

She came in to visit him because she knew that even if the male protagonist was unconscious, he could still hear the commotion outside. If he knew that his younger sister was here to see him, she thought he might grow fond of her.

If she failed to stop the tyrant and Shang Nation was still destroyed, the male protagonist may spare her life on account of how well she had treated him.

She stood up and said to Eunuch Wang softly, "Eunuch Wang, please take good care of my older brother. If he endures this night safely, I will reward you handsomely."

Eunuch Wang forced a smile but agreed compliantly.

He didn't dare to close his eyes throughout the entire night. He was afraid that the person lying in the tent would die and checked if he was still breathing every five minutes. He accidentally fell asleep at dawn and wondered if he was going to be executed for it. But then, he saw that Su Qinghan, originally in the tent on the verge of death, had woken up.

He hurriedly rushed forward and studied Su Qinghan, who stood before him. He overlapped his hands before his chest and said with a smile, "Your Highness, you've finally woken up. I will report this to the Empress right away. The Empress was worried for you yesterday."

Su Qinghan frowned slightly, "Wasn't it Her Highness, the Princess?"

Eunuch Wang panicked when he heard this. Did he hear the Eldest Princess visit last night?

He was considered an old man in the palace. He had been in the palace for five years since he was 13 years old. He understood the rules of the palace, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness, you must have heard wrongly. The Empress came to visit you yesterday. Oh right, the Imperial physicians have also diagnosed you. The Emperor and Empress are kind-hearted and gave orders to the Imperial physicians to restore you to health."

Su Qinghan nodded. I must have heard wrongly. His body was still slightly weak, so he waved his hand and said, "Yes, I understand. Help me thank the Emperor and Empress."

When Eunuch Wang came to report this matter, Su Nuan was not surprised at all.

What bothered her was the fact that Eunuch Wang had disturbed Feng Junyi's sleep early in the morning.

After drinking tea last night, Feng Junyi, who was prone to insomnia, was indeed unable to sleep.

She looked at Feng Junyi, who had dark circles under his eyes, and murmured, "Alright, I got it. After the Emperor and the Empress Dowager picked their share of prey after today's hunt, you can pick whichever you want."

Eunuch Wang hurriedly thanked her. Feng Junyi, who was beside her, couldn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and said, "You woke up so quickly. I'll go with you to visit him."

"Don't."

Su Nuan quickly grabbed Feng Junyi's sleeve.

If the protagonist and the villain meet, won't they fight?

Hence, Su Nuan said in her sweet voice, "Big Brother Emperor, I have something to show you."

Feng Junyi had not slept the whole night. He had been a little frustrated. Now, her sweet voice calmed his agitated heart.

He tilted his head and looked at her with interest. "What is it?"

What is it? What is it?

God, I was only trying to keep Feng Junyi by my side. I haven't thought of showing him anything yet.

Although she had a lot of things in the supermarket, not everything could be taken out.

Therefore, she smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll tell you later."

Eunuch Wang asked from outside the tent, "Your Majesty, are you still going to see His Highness?"

Feng Junyi looked at the little girl in front of him. She had just woken up, and her face was slightly flushed. She did not sleep well because she had played with him all night. She looked a little tired.

Why would I see the Second Prince instead of staying here with a cute girl?

"I'm not going anymore," he replied.

Eunuch Wang also heaved a sigh of relief. Even he felt that the Second Prince of Yun Nation looked like he deserved a beating for some reason. It was a good thing that the Emperor wasn't going to visit him now. He could also take the opportunity to take a nap outside. After all, he hadn't slept for almost the entire night.

Since Feng Junyi was going to stay, Su Nuan asked Zhen Zhu to help her wash up. Then, she found a ceramic knife from the supermarket and gave it to him.

Su Nuan only gave a brief explanation of the knife's origin.

She explained that she had picked it up and kept it as she felt that it was a good item. She added that she had planned to find an opportunity to give it to him.

The handle of the knife was made of plastic, which obviously didn't exist at that time. Su Nuan put on an oblivious expression, and her big eyes were filled with ignorance. Luckily, Feng Junyi did not inquire further. He fiddled with the knife and studied it. She finally got by.

The hunt went on for five days.

During this period, besides accompanying the little tyrant, Su Nuan also played with the Eldest Princess. She remained vigilant at all times and didn't allow the Eldest Princess to encounter Su Qinghan when he was awake at all.

A weight was finally lifted off her shoulders.

On the other hand, Su Qinghan was puzzled.

He remembered that he should have gotten to know Princess Muyang while hunting in Shang Nation. However, he gained nothing during this hunt.

Perhaps it's not true to say that he gained nothing. At least, he discovered something strange. What happened was completely different from what he remembered.

For instance, when he was attacked by the big bear during the hunt, or when his sister suddenly had a change of personality.

If it was in the past, Su Nuan, who was not very intelligent, would have made things difficult for him again and again.

His father did not like him, so his younger sister tortured and humiliated him without any restraint. It was as if she did so to draw the line between them.

But this time… she hadn't made things difficult for him. Instead, she took care of him when he was injured.

He thought that his sister was planning something, with a hidden card up her sleeve. He had been fearful for the past few days, but nothing happened in the end.

Su Nuan had been eating and drinking well for the past few days. When she returned to the palace to take a bath and submerged her entire body in the bathtub, she was shocked to see that she had a small tummy.

She could pinch a layer of fat on her stomach, which was initially flat. Su Nuan sat unhappily in front of the bronze mirror in her chambers.

Zhen Zhu noticed that she was unhappy. As she bathed her, she asked, "Is there something bothering you, Your Majesty?"

Su Nuan pursed her lips and asked, "Can't you tell?"

Zhen Zhu was confused. "Tell what?"

Su Nuan sighed, "I've gained weight. There's a swim ring around my stomach."

To her surprise, she heard a familiar voice. "What's a swim ring? Why did you put it around your stomach?" Feng Junyi asked curiously.
