The young girl's life was eventually saved, but she fell into a coma for ten days without waking. The doctor said that if she did not wake up within fifteen days, even if she woke up later, she would become a fool.
The assassination attempt was discovered by the Emperor, who sent someone to escort him back to the capital.
When he left, the girl still hadn't woken up, and it was already the twelfth day. He couldn't disobey the imperial decree, so he had to follow the person sent by the emperor and enter the Imperial City.
Once in the capital, the emperor sent him to the Ling family's suburban residence outside the city to practice martial arts. He practiced for two years and went to the battlefield in the third year. He made meritorious deeds in his first battle but was injured and needed to recover.
By the time he returned to the south of the river and the Chen family, Princess Zhennan had already paid a visit and befriended the Chen family's daughter, Lin Jiaojiao's mother.
