Chapter 779: Chapter 778: I Want to Talk to You Alone !_1

It was not until Su Pan’er had treated the injuries that she finally sat down to take a breather.

"Old Cheng, where is His Majesty now?"

Su Pan’er asked the most crucial question, reminding him subtly, "Since Lord Marquis risked his life to rescue His Majesty, there must be a reason for his actions. When he wakes up, Old Cheng, you can ask him about it."

How could Old Cheng not understand this point? It was merely concern that was causing his confusion!

"This old man does not know."

He took a furtive glance at the room before whispering, "After Lord Marquis was injured, my men and I rescued him and hurriedly placed him onto a stretcher and brought him back. As we were leaving, we saw His Majesty heading in the direction of the eastern city. He didn’t allow anyone to follow him. After that, we lost track of him."

Su Pan’er sighed inwardly, noting that Fei’er had changed a lot.

However, why did he initially trust her with matters concerning his life and death, and now he has injured Qin Yi?

What was the purpose behind his actions?

Seeing Old Cheng still standing silently on the side, Su Pan’er composed herself: "Hmm, it seems like Master Uncle is also tired, why don’t you go and rest for a while. If Lord Marquis wakes up and needs you, I will have no choice but to trouble Master Uncle again."

"No problem, it’s my duty."

Taking a glance at Qin Yi, who was immobile in bed, Old Cheng clenched his teeth.

"Foolish girl, there’s something this old man wants to tell you."

Foolish girl, it has been a while since Master Uncle Cheng had referred to her with this name.

Feeling fond of the epithet, Su Pan’er quickly responded with a light smile, "Whatever Master Uncle wants to say, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will try my best."

Old Cheng looked at the gently swaying beaded curtain, then down again at Qin Yi, a vein in his face ticking.

"This matter, I want to talk to you about it alone! Alone!"

He emphasised his words.

The seriousness of his countenance caused Su Pan’er to falter briefly, "Alright, let’s go to the warm room then..."

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Qin Yi on the bed suddenly started coughing, weakly opening his eyes in search of Su Pan’er, "Pan’er..."

Qin Yi had awoken!

Su Pan’er had initially thought he would need to rest for at least a half a day before he would wake up.

Filled with joy, she immediately forgot about her talk with Old Cheng, leaned down, and took Qin Yi’s hand to check his pulse.

"Qin Yi! Yi, you’re awake? How do you feel, is there anything unwell? Are you hungry or thirsty? Shall I order the kitchen to bring some food for you?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, a torrent of questions poured out.

Feeling her soft hands, Qin Yi moved his fingers, giving her a response.

After a while, he opened his eyes, looking at her weakly for a while before nodding his head, "Water..."

"Water... Alright, we have it, yes! Here comes the water, drink slowly."

Overjoyed, Su Pan’er turned back to get the water. Xiao Min had already handed it to her, causing Old Cheng to instinctively back off a few steps.

Su Pan’er quickly took the water cup, found a cotton swab, soaked it with water and let him drink it.

"You lost a lot of blood, you can’t drink too much water. I’ll feed it to you slowly so don’t rush."

The cotton swab moistened Qin Yi’s chapped lips, and he managed to move his lips and swallow a bit of water.

But his eyes never left hers.

Those warm, dewy eyes seemed to contain all the sunshine in the world. Just looking at them brought an unprecedented feeling of comfort and warmth, making it hard for him to blink.

Traces of water spilled from the corner of his mouth, and Su Pan’er hurriedly wiped it away with a handkerchief, the words that she uttered were unusually gentle, "Don’t worry, there’s plenty of water, drink slowly."

He was able to regain consciousness and swallow water, it seemed his internal organs were not greatly affected.

Though the external injuries would take some time to heal, in comparison to internal injuries, they were much easier to recover from. It seemed that after a brief period, she could begin the next step of treatment.

Looking into her soft, sunlit gaze, Qin Yi felt much more relaxed.

His hawk’s eyes, full of tenderness, lingered on her, not wanting to look away.

It was not until she put away the cup that he reluctantly looked at the cup, and shifted his gaze to Old Cheng.

"Master Uncle..."

His call was very soft, but Old Cheng heard it.

"Lord Marquis, do you have any instructions?"

Old Cheng hurriedly moved closer, listening to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi moved his lips, glanced at Su Pan’er, and stopped speaking.

"Oh, I’ll go check if there’s anything to eat in the kitchen, and bring something back for you. Old Cheng, take care of Lord Marquis."

After saying this, Su Pan’er gracefully exited the room.

As she walked out, she carefully lowered the door curtain for fear that the cold wind blowing in the snow from outside would invade the inner room. She turned back and looked at the two men.

Qin Yi was lying on the edge of the bed, and more than half of his body was blocked by Old Cheng, his face obscured.

Old Cheng was standing by Qin Yi’s bed, humbly leaning over, putting his head close to Qin Yi, as if he was listening to Qin Yi’s instructions.

Humble?

Su Pan’er shook her head, dispelling the unlikely thought.

Master Uncle Cheng has been teaching Qin Yi martial arts and military tactics for years, always devoted. Although he was called an uncle, in reality, he was very much like a master.

How could there be any humility?

She must have been seeing things, misunderstanding the situation, this must be the case!

She went to the kitchen, personally selected some food ingredients, made a medicinal soup for Qin Yi.

She also personally made a few concoctions. Not trusting the kitchen staff, she also made Xiao Liu, who usually stays by Qin Yi’s side, look after the fire, and then brought the tray back to the room.

She hadn’t even lifted the door curtain when she heard Old Cheng’s arguing voice from inside.

"No! Regardless of anything else, this matter is not negotiable! No means no, or else, I will find the lady to make the decision..."

The voice inside suddenly stopped.

But after a while, Old Cheng’s voice was heard again: "Fine! It’s good for you to tell the lady directly, to prevent..."

Then it was silent inside again.

Su Pan’er couldn’t understand their conversation, and soon she walked in after lifting the curtain.

"What were you two talking about? What do you need me for?"

Smiling, she walked in with a slight smile on her face.

The man in bed didn’t say anything.

Old Cheng straightened up, lowering his head: "Lord Marquis ordered me to do something. Madam, in that case, shall I leave first?"

"Go ahead, finish your work early and come back. It’s snowing outside again, it will probably get colder in the evening. It’s warmer here in the house."

Su Pan’er didn’t know what Qin Yi had instructed him to do, so she just casually gave him a few instructions and watched as Old Cheng reluctantly left with a lingering expression.

Turning back, she met Qin Yi’s eyes, who looked guilty and turned his face away.
