Upon seeing the concern etched on Yue Er and Lu Er's faces, Jiang Peihuan spoke gently, "I'm already feeling better. You two should rest now. Let Ye Xiao stay here. You can return in the morning."
"There's no need for everyone to keep watch."
Seeing Yue Er about to object, Jiang Peihuan decisively made her decision. Only after hearing her firm words did Yue Er and Lu Er reluctantly leave.
Once alone, Jiang Peihuan turned her attention to Ye Xiao. "Was it King Cheng who brought me back?"
She vaguely remembered hearing his voice. To her query, Ye Xiao nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it was the master who brought you home. He..."
"Who's there?"
Before Ye Xiao could complete her sentence, she heard a subtle sound of breathing from outside the window. Instinctively, she drew her dagger, but a familiar figure appeared in the window.
"You may leave for now."
