I walked into the grove and found the person still lying there. Seeing his darkened face, I knew his injury was already severe. Although my medical skills aren’t capable of curing every illness, I am still relatively skilled.
I checked his pulse and fed him the medicine I originally used to extend my own life. I always carried some wound medicine and other self-healing drugs on me, as I was deeply afraid the poison Silver Remnant might have given me could act up at any moment.
After a short while, I checked his breath, which had stabilized considerably, and his complexion had improved. I could only help him this much.
“Hey, whether you’re awake or not, I’m telling you that I saved your life. When you wake up, don’t forget the promise you made. Remember that your life was saved by me.”
” I even left a silk handkerchief on him to prevent him from denying it later.
“If I can return here tomorrow, I will definitely make you repay this life-saving kindness. If I don’t return tomorrow, I’ll collect my payment whenever I see you!” Looking at his unconscious state, he didn’t seem like someone who would keep his promise or give me freedom.
After finishing these tasks, it was already late, and I knew the palace maid was probably anxious.
I settled the man under a tree, covered his body with leaves, and then turned to leave.
Some things, I ultimately had to face. What will be, will be!
Punishment (1)
When I stepped into the imperial palace again, I couldn’t help but sigh that my life for these years had been revolving around this palace. No matter how hard I tried or struggled, I couldn’t escape from here.
“Your Majesty, I have brought the miss to you!” Unknowingly, I was already before Cang Lian. The palace maid still called me “miss” as always, humbly prostrating before Cang Lian, kowtowing submissively.
I watched the palace maid kneel to the ground and could only kneel as well. I didn’t have the capital to argue with Cang Lian now; I was still hoping he would keep his promise and release me.
