Zi Yin's felt dead inside as he lay on the bed, Zhan Sheng was beside him and bandage his wound. This was it. This was his life now. Zi Yin couldn't be bothered to hide the way his body ached, and he felt a deep sense of despair as he realized the gravity of what he had done. Neither of them spoke for a long time, Zi Yin's heart trembled and the pain in his hands throbbed. For the next few months, he'd be completely useless. Since he didn't have his cultivation, this would take months to heal. Lei Fang hurt him the way she knew how to and Zi Yin could hardly blame her for it.
However, several things that happened were not making sense to him. Why didn't Gong Yijun know that Lei Fang was Lei Bo's daughter? Why did he want him dead so badly? As a general, Zi Yin had no right to question the Emperor, but still, these things weighed heavily on his heart.
