Chapter 455: Chapter 424: Seeing a Doctor (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3
Daohua tried several times but couldn’t pull her hand free. She was also worried that using too much force might hurt Xiao Yeyang’s wound on his back, so she had no choice but to give up.
Seeing her hand firmly grasped, Daohua felt somewhat helpless and said to her two brothers, “Third brother, Fourth brother, you can go on with your tasks.”
Yan Wenkai, “What about you?”
Daohua pointed to her hand, “I’ll stay here with Xiao Yeyang until he wakes up.”
Yan Wenkai didn’t say anything, but Yan Wentao was a bit hesitant, “This doesn’t seem appropriate.”
Daohua was already grown up, and for a young man and woman to be alone in a room, if someone found out, it could damage her reputation.
Defu immediately said, “There’s nothing inappropriate about it. The master enjoys quiet and strictly forbids disturbances. Moreover, Manman and I are here to look after things. Third Master, Fourth Master, please rest assured.”
Yan Wenkai glanced outside the door and nodded, “This place is indeed very quiet.”
Yan Wentao, seeing that Defu had persuaded him with just a few words, was left somewhat speechless.
Is this a question of being quiet or not?
This is about Daohua and the Little Prince being alone in a room, okay?
Yan Wentao was about to say something when Daohua interjected, “Third brother, I’ll be fine here. Don’t you still have training to attend to? Hurry along.”
Yan Wentao was still hesitant, but Yan Wenkai, seeing him dawdling, was somewhat speechless, “Oh, come on, Third Brother, what are you worried about? With big sister here, could there possibly be any danger?”

“Alright, let’s go. I just saw General Pei heading to the drill ground, and if we’re late, we’ll be punished,” Yan Wenkai said and then pulled Yan Wentao out of the room.
When they reached the door, Yan Wentao looked back at Daohua, “We’ll come over after we finish training.”
Daohua nodded with a smile.
Once the two men had left, Daohua signaled Wang Manman to bring over a small stool for her. With her hand being pulled by Xiao Yeyang, sitting on the edge of the bed required her to lean back slightly, which was somewhat uncomfortable.
“Defu, how did Xiao Yeyang get injured?”
Defu sighed, “It’s all because of the gold mine. A few days ago, people found Jing Cao near Ningmen Pass. The master and Master Wu led people to search the mountains nearby. Unexpectedly, the Jiang Family and Prince Duan’s men also showed up here, and as soon as they encountered each other, a fight broke out.”
Daohua, “Where have you found Jing Cao?”
Defu, “In quite a few places. However, they didn’t grow in abundance. Every spot where Jing Cao was found has been dug up, but not a trace of gold has been discovered. Yesterday, Master Wu’s men found another spot with Jing Cao. Ignoring his injuries, the master immediately led men there, but it was just another disappointment. When he returned, he started running a fever.”
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, who had passed out, and said with a frown, “Does this guy really need to push himself so hard? He doesn’t even care about his own injuries.”
Defu glanced at Daohua, stayed silent for a moment, and then said, “The master says that he wants to accumulate more merits, so if anything happens in the future, he can have something to ask the Emperor for.”
Daohua was startled, then a tinge of sympathy appeared on her face.
If Xiao Yeyang had parents to plan for him, he wouldn’t need to risk his life to obtain merits.
After her hand had been held for quite some time, Daohua felt uncomfortable and wanted to move it, but as soon as she stirred, Xiao Yeyang’s grip tightened. Before long, he pulled her hand under his head to use as a pillow.
Seeing this, Daohua was somewhat exasperated yet amused.
Defu didn’t say anything more, turned around, and left, adding two more charcoal braziers to the room.
Daohua sat in front of the bed, tucked in the blanket for Xiao Yeyang, and, noticing a geographical record of Ningmen Pass on the bedside table, picked it up and began to read.
For a while, the room was silent except for the sound of Daohua flipping through the pages.
Seeing this, Defu took Wang Manman out of the room.
“Why are you dragging me out here?” Wang Manman asked somewhat resentfully, shrugging off Defu.
Defu smiled, “Is this your first time at Ningmen Pass, Manman? Our present location at the northeast rampart is the highest point in the entire Ningmen Pass. Come on, I’ll take you to enjoy the beauty from here.”
Wang Manman was tempted but still shook her head and refused, “If I leave and Miss needs me, what should I do?”
Defu laughed, “The master just took his medicine and fell asleep. He won’t wake up so soon. And with Miss Yan reading, what could possibly happen? We’ll just walk on the city wall and quickly come back.”
Wang Manman peeked inside at Daohua, who was quietly reading, and seeing that there really wouldn’t be any issue for a while, she nodded her agreement.
Defu went over to close the door and then led Wang Manman up to the city wall.
In the room, after flipping through the geographical record for a few pages, Daohua’s eyes began to droop. She hadn’t slept well the night before, worrying about Xiao Yeyang’s injury, and had gotten up early this morning. Now, she couldn’t help nodding off.
…
Xiao Yeyang was awakened by an itch from the wound on his back. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found an extra pair of delicate and smooth hands in his. His originally groggy mind instantly cleared, and he sat up with a jolt.
The sudden movement pulled at his wound, and Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but ‘hiss’ out loud, sharply inhaling.
Daohua woke up with a start. Because the stool was too small, she tipped over backward and fell straight to the ground.
“Ouch!”
Clothed in many layers, Daohua didn’t hurt herself in the fall, but the sudden wake-up still startled her into crying out.
“Daohua!”
Seeing Daohua sitting on the floor, bundled up roundly, Xiao Yeyang felt both surprise and elation.
