Chu Qingchuan woke up from the sound of coughing. She furrowed her brows and woke up.

After hearing the sound of Yu Wuhen’s coughing, she bolted upright and said, “Milord, how are you feeling? Do you want the physician to come see you?”

Yu Wuhen covered his mouth with his hand and shook his head at Chu Qingchuan. Then, he laid back down again with tightly furrowed brows, and looked like he was really in pain.

Yu Wuhen reached his hand out to ma.s.sage his sore forehead, and suddenly realized that his mask was missing. He froze for a second, before he regained composure and started to ma.s.sage his temples.

Chu Qingchuan let out a subtle sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn’t get mad. With some hesitation, she grabbed his lapel and said, “Milord, I saw that you were having a hard time with the mask, and so I helped you take it off. You don’t hate me, do you?”

Yu Wuhen cracked a smiled, then managed to weakly spit out two words, “No worries.”

Chu Qingchuan felt completely relaxed. Then, she got up, walked over to the table to pour a cup of water and made her way back. “Milord, drink some water.”

With Chu Qingchuan’s help, Yu Wuhen drank the cup of water, then laid back for some rest with furrowed brows.

Chu Qingchuan saw the pained look on Yu Wuhen’s face and felt horrible inside. But then again, she couldn’t really help with anything. Suddenly, she felt down.

“Chuchu, thank you for helping me take a sword,” said Yu Wuhen abruptly.

Chu Qingchuan wore a shy smile. “Milord, it’s what I should have done for you.”

Naturally, Yu Wuhen understood what Chu Qingchuan meant by that, and pulled a faint smile. Very well. His woman should think about sharing his hards.h.i.+ps like that.

He shut his eyes and quietly said, “Chuchu, who was that man who barged into the Xu manor?”

Chu Qingchuan’s heart felt suddenly nervous. She clenched her fist for a moment, then said, “Th… that was my royal brother.”

She didn’t know why she was nervous, but she was afraid that Yu Wuhen wouldn’t accept her because of her ident.i.ty. After all, not everyone wants to be the emperor’s son-in-law.

It was obvious that Yu Wuhen’s body tensed up. After a sudden pause, he took a deep breath and asked, “Could it be that you’re the fifth princess, Chu Qingchuan?”

Chu Qingchuan froze for a moment. Yu Wuhen was a real fast thinker. She anxiously rubbed her sleeves, then replied, “Yes, I’m the fifth princess Chu Qingchuan. a.s.sa.s.sins were chasing me, so then… then I accidentally hid in Shenwei Castle’s firewood shed. Later, I met you.”

Yu Wuhen’s handsome face didn’t show any obvious emotions. With or without the mask, he was difficult to read. Chu Qingchuan’s heart randomly started to race.

“You should leave. I want to be alone for a moment,” said Yu Wuhen flatly.

Chu Qingchuan looked at Yu Wuhen for a second, then replied, “Alright, Milord. Get some rest. I’ll be over to wait on you early tomorrow morning.”

Thereafter, she left obediently.

After she left, Chu Qingchuan looked up at the moon in the sky and took a deep sigh. She was a little lost because she didn’t know what Yu Wuhen thought of her now.

Perhaps, Yu Wuhen didn’t want her anymore because she’s the princess. Chu Qingchuan’s heart ached violently.

She looked back at the door for a long time, then sighed deeply before she walked away. She was already Yu Wuhen’s woman now. To avoid Yu Wuhen not wanting her anymore, she was going to try her best to be a good wife.

Also, she should believe in Yu Wuhen’s character. Chu Qingchuan thought about how Yu Wuhen planned to die rather than let her go, and eventually smiled.

Inside the room, after Chu Qingchuan left, Yu Wuhen shut his eyes and fell asleep.

From start to end, his feelings never swayed because Chu Qingchuan was the princess.

In his heart, Yu Wuhen saw Chu Qingchuan as the only love of his life a long time ago.
