"Why do you have to do this?"
Zhao Qingyan looked over and asked, "Did you hear that?" He stopped.
Bai Ju said, "I heard a sentence."
Zhao Qingyan was silent for a moment before he asked, "Do you know what identity I have standing in front of her?"
Bai Zhen shook his head. "It's precisely because I don't understand why you're doing this that I'm waiting here."
Zhao Qingyan pursed his lips, "Seeing my future wife calling out to another man while she's unconscious also makes me feel upset. But... My medical skills tell me that if the person she remembers is not around, she may never wake up. "
"What does that mean?"
Zhao Qingyan pressed his hand against the wall and leaned on it, "Rather than waking up and seeing that his family is no longer here, or that his home that he has lived in for twenty years has been burnt beyond recognition, why not keep on sleeping and even see the company of his family? If she doesn't know, and if the people she remembers are waiting for her to wake up, then she might not wake up again. "
Bai Zhen subconsciously glanced at his leg and asked, "Why don't we go sit in the room and talk?"
Zhao Qingyan shook his head, "No need. It's good to stand for a while. There shouldn't be any problems with your wounds."
Bai Zhen was silent for a long time, his gaze filled with disbelief. "So because you're afraid that she won't wake up, you're willing to let her believe that Zi Yu is by her side?"
Zhao Qingyan shrugged, "Who knows why? Maybe it was just a moment of confusion? "
Bai Zhen took a deep breath and asked, "Do you really plan to marry her?"
Zhao Qingyan was surprised. "My betrothal gift has already been sent to the Mansion of the Marquis of Cara. Of course I want to marry her." After pausing for a moment, he added, "Of course, when she wakes up, if she is still willing to choose Wencun, I will not force her. "The Tu Clan of the marquis' Mansion of the Trojan Horse is showing its might to the Qi King Manor. I will remember this grudge, but I won't forget it."
Bai Zhen looked at him with a complicated gaze. "Young Prince, speak the truth. I have always believed that people have their own selfish motives, so if a selfless person does not have another request, he is either a fool. With my understanding of young master, he definitely won't be the latter. "
Zhao Qingyan tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly. As for Bai Zhen, he stared back with a calm expression. Zhao Qingyan laughed softly, "I don't think I'm selfless. On the contrary, your behavior is even more selfless than mine. At least, to me, Lady Mu is just a marriage contract, with a few words of fame. To you, abandonment is a matter of feeling.
Bai Zhen calmly gazed at him, waiting for his next words.
"Let her not wake up from her sleep, or even die because of it. "Then I can leave the marquis's house, which is muddy from its troubles, and take another marriage — would that be better?" The shadow cast by Zhao Qingyan's eyelashes made his eyes a little more grey. He couldn't tell if he was smiling bitterly or sighing with regret, "I don't deny that this is the right thing to do, but I can't do it. Ignoring kindness, being bullied in front of the patient but not being able to help, I can't do these three things. "That's all."
Bai Zhen hesitated, "The people from the Tu Clan …"
Zhao Qingyan stood straight and walked past Bai Zhen, "I'll do everything I can to save Lady Mu and then I'll do my best to avenge her. I don't care about anything else. "In my eyes, she is the Marquis's daughter, not my fiancée. Please take note."
"Since you're so indifferent towards her, then why did you rush in and save someone whose life is unknown?" Bai Zhen turned to face his back and asked.
Zhao Qingyan's footsteps only paused for a moment before she took another step and did not reply.
Bai Zhen did not stop him. He raised his head and stared blankly at the sky for a moment before turning around and leaving.

"Young Master, aren't you going back to your room?" Ran Hao, seeing that Zhao Qingyan had no intention of going back to rest, he could not help but ask.
Zhao Qingyan said, "I want to go to the Manchu Mansion."
Ran Hao was worried, "But young master's legs …"
Zhao Qingyan did not seem to care at all, "Aren't there carriages outside the door? I'll find out if the wound breaks open. "
Ran Hao pursed his lips and could only agree: "Then, should I go prepare a carriage first?"
Zhao Qingyan nodded, "Go. Be careful not to be discovered by my father and my master."
Ran Hao bowed and quickly left.

"Let go of me! What are you guys doing? "
Han Yan held a stack of papers and started reading as he walked. When he heard the sound, he stopped and looked over. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
He saw four or five guards holding down a young man who had been tied up by all sorts of things, while that young man was jumping up and down, shouting and desperately trying to get rid of the guards. His face was covered by a layer of black ash, making it impossible to see his original appearance. However, he was only about 15 or 16 years old. He was not very tall, and he was thin. However, judging from his actions of dashing left and right without any moves, he at least had quite a bit of strength and a good foundation for his martial arts skills.
The guard on the left side who had been kicked by the youth took a few steps back and said, "Sir Han, this kid sneaked into the Mansion of the Trojan Horse and didn't come out. It was only Sir Chen who tied him up."
Han Yan looked at Chen Huayi, who had a big footprint on his clothes, and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Are you sure you can do it? A little kid stepping on it? "
Chen Huayi rolled his eyes. "Aren't you afraid that he'll be worried about messing up things?" Moreover, this brat's Qing Gong is not bad. He runs really fast and it would be quite tiring for me to chase him. "
Han Yan asked, "Did you break anything?"
Chen Huayi said, "I didn't touch anything inside. I only broke a pot of flowers." He stretched his wrist and let out a string of crisp sounds, "In short, he broke through the seal and injured an officer. How should I deal with him?"
Han Yan found it funny. "You can do whatever you want. Why are you asking me?"
Chen Huayi threw up his hands and said, "Am I not wearing the body of a sinner?" If I don't ask you, who are you going to ask? "Tell me, how should I deal with this?" He moved his shoulders and neck.
Han Yan said nonchalantly, "Then let's fight. Be careful not to get crippled. It would be hard to explain if Young Prince asks." After the fight is over, just lock him up and wait for me to find time to interrogate him. "
Chen Chengyi smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you to say that." He swung his fist and was about to hit.
"Wait!" The youth was annoyed, "Is there no justice?" Beat someone up in the street? "
Chen Huayi raised his eyebrows. "Are you illiterate, or can you not hear what others are saying, or are you just a little stupid? Do you not understand what we are saying?" "Or are you used to sneaking around when you're used to being a thief?"
The youth widened his eyes. "I know the words!" I'm not deaf! I'm not stupid! "I am not a thief!"
Chen Chengyi was stunned by his righteous reply, then laughed, "Since that's the case, then there's even less reason for you not to get beaten up." "If you barge into the Manchu Mansion, obstruct the officials' work, and even injure us, you will be beaten."
The youth puffed up his cheeks. "Then come and fight me fair and square!"
Chen Chengyi waved his finger and said, "You've already broken the law. This is a normal lesson for us. It's fine if we just fight a few."
Han Yan impatiently interrupted, "Alright, hurry up if you want to hit her. Lock her up if you don't want to. You'll be sentenced to death later."
"Punishment?" The young man was suddenly enraged. He struggled with all his might and cursed loudly, "Idiot!" Your dog eyes have gone blind! If you have the ability, then beat me to death! I'm not afraid! "Bite me to death!" Several guards held him down to prevent him from jumping out.
Han Yan curled his lips. "Incomprehensible." He was about to leave.
The young man's eyes turned red and he shouted, "Dogman! If you have the ability, then go head to head with this young master! What's the point of pretending to be grandpa? "
Han Yan bent down to look at him and seemed to find him very funny. "I am a civil servant, not a military officer. Why should I fight with you?" He stood up and waved his hand, "Drag him away."
"Han." Chen Huayi suddenly opened his mouth and raised his chin at the youth, "His martial arts are very interesting. Are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"
Han Yan shook the paper in his hand and said snappily: "Look, there are so many reports. You want me to fight with a kid? I am a civil servant, a civil servant! "
Chen Huayi said, "Don't bother being a civil servant. Your old bones should be moving as well. Otherwise, they would be rusted to death."
Han Yan sneered, "Old? I'm only ten years older than you are.
Chen Huayi looked at him with a smile and said, "You are old and you want to use two moves?"
Han Yan stuffed the report into Chen Huayi's hand and nodded to the guards at the side, "Just do as you like. Do you really think my martial arts are lacking?"
Chen Huayi made two tsk-tsk sounds as he retreated a few steps to give him space. "I wouldn't dare."
Han Yan flexed his hands and feet, then hooked his fingers at the teenager. "Come, let me test your skills."
The youth clenched his fist and growled. He stomped his left foot on the ground and punched toward Han Yan's face.
Han Yan decisively took a step back, gently shook his shoulder, took a step back with his left foot and another step back with his right foot. When he stepped on the left, his shoulder was slanted to the right, while his left shoulder was slanted to the right.
Chen Huayi watched from the side as a gloating expression was revealed on his face.
When sparring in the martial arts world, unless one was confident of winning with one move, it was rare to see one starting with a move aimed at a vital point. Especially with the youth's height, a punch to the face had exposed all the flaws on his body. Regardless of whether this attack would hit or not, he did not have the time to protect his weakness. Therefore, Chen Huayi and Han Yan's reactions were to take a step back and evade this attack. Then, they would test the direction of their opponent's next move.
Han Yan took three steps back. Two steps were definitely not simple. The direction of his shoulder was the opposite of the direction of his body. He could change the direction of his retreat at any time. After taking one step left and one step right, he returned to his original position in the middle. He just stepped back, and the position of the line wasn't off. Using movement to confuse his opponent and changing his moves flexibly gave him another opportunity to probe his opponent's direction. The guards watching from the sidelines could not help but secretly praise him.
Han Yan's experience could be clearly seen by this simple move.
However, Han Yan had lost because of his experience.
Experience told him that no one would dare to make a move directly in front of him. In fact, the youth was simply throwing a punch right at his nose. Furthermore, the youth's speed was extremely fast, so fast that Han Li had only just realized his mistake, when the magnified fist had already arrived in front of him.
Han Yan subconsciously leaned back, and a standard metal bridge flashed past his fist. He twisted his right foot on the ground, causing his body to move towards the left side. With the support of his left palm, he somersaulted and got up. Han Li didn't know whether it was a coincidence or a certain move, but the moment he lifted his foot and kicked the young man, the young man had already caught up with him. He went straight for Han Yan's chest.
Han Yan, who had suffered a loss, didn't even have the time to adjust before the next attack arrived before him. In a panic, he could only raise his hand to block it.
Han Yan had been quietly moving between the Qilin Hall and the prison. He had shown no signs of his skills, so the guards couldn't help but cheer for him. No one cared about the fact that he had already lost two moves.
Han Li's feet drew a foot-long mark on the ground before he managed to stop himself from retreating. His right hand formed a claw and clawed at the youth's face.
The youth hurriedly took a step back and punched out with both of his fists towards Han Li's ribs. Han Yan could barely see his curved lips smiling as he stood there motionlessly, allowing himself to be hit. The youth's two punches seemed to have hit two balls of cotton, leaving him powerless. The feeling of hitting empty air rendered him useless no matter how much strength he used. The joints in his arms hurt as he staggered and fell forward.
Han Yan reached out a hand to help him stand firm, stepped back a little, and hooked his finger again. "Come on, let's do it again."
The teenager clenched his teeth and roared. Both of his feet stomped on the ground again, and his speed was even faster than before. He was like an arrow that had left the bow as he threw himself at Han Qian.
Seeing his sudden burst of speed, Han Yan was not the only shocked expression on his face. Even Chen Huayi who was enjoying the show could not help but show a serious expression.
