Chapter 112 The dream is over, it’s time to get down to business
According to the attending physician, it was a complete miracle that Bai Qingge finally woke up, and he was not affected mentally or physically at all.
"How long have I slept?" Bai Qingge asked, shaking his dizzy head.
"Your Highness, you have been unconscious for a whole week."
Bai Qingge was not frightened by the time. Instead, he felt it was too short. It felt like a very long time had passed, and...
[Do you remember anything?]
The system seemed to be determining something.
"I seem to have remembered a lot, but, um... I seem to have forgotten something very important."
[Have a good rest.]
"Did we know each other before?" This dream made her a little unclear whether she was a time traveler or a local.
But the system was still the same system in my memory. It was still talking in the last second, and disappeared without any warning in the next second.
"Really? He runs so fast every time." Bai Qingge muttered in a low voice.
"Your Highness, what did you say?" Wu Bingzhi was always by his side, observing Bai Qingge's every move, fearing that he would feel uncomfortable in the slightest.
"I'm asking, you didn't tell your family about my accident, right?" She had told Wu Bingzhi explicitly and implicitly beforehand that he was not allowed to report anything about her to his family.
"No, Your Highness."
Bai Qingge nodded in satisfaction. Fortunately, this girl was not like her elder sister who later became...
Hey, why do I call Bingzhi like that? She is older than me.
"Your Highness, is there anything else you need? Are you really not feeling unwell? Please tell me."
He reached out and patted Wu Bingzhi's shoulder, smiling and saying with ease: "Don't worry, I feel fine. By the way, Ruochu is my deskmate, and where is Mo Qianxing?"
“Mo Qianxing was captured by Miss Yan, but his accomplices escaped and are still being hunted.
"...Ms. Kan is having a physical examination. Miss Yan should be waiting outside now." Wu Bingzhi said reluctantly.
The word "should?" is very subtle.
"After you fell into a coma, she has been wanting to see you, but I stopped her every time."
"Is that so? You don't have to be so defensive against her. She's not a bad kid. Let her in."
Wu Bingzhi opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth several times and swallowed, looking very angry.
Bai Qingge said with some amusement: "Just say whatever you want to say, there's no need to hold it in."
"Your Highness, forgive me for being blunt, but the relationship between Yan Ruochu and Mo Qianxing has not been investigated clearly yet. I know you have been playmates since childhood, but are you trusting her too much?
"And that Kan Zhiyu, she admitted with her own mouth that she intended to harm you. If you hadn't ordered me to take good care of her, I... humph!" Wu Bingzhi puffed up his face and turned away angrily.
"Hahaha, you're over-interpreting it. They don't actually have any bad intentions. Go get Ruchu first. I have something to say to her."
"……understood."
Wu Bingzhi closed the door dejectedly. She felt that His Highness was too soft-hearted. Even after such a thing happened, he still sided with that person. Should she do something, kidnap or threaten her, or just let her disappear quietly?
Should I be loyal to the order, or should I pay more attention to the safety of His Highness' life.
Halfway through the journey, Wu Bingzhi sighed deeply. It seemed that his sister was sent out because she had done something similar. What was his sister thinking at the time?
Walking to the gate in a depressed mood, Wu Bingzhi signaled the bodyguard to open the door.
Yan Ruchu, who was sitting with his back to the door, turned around quickly when he heard the sound of the door opening.
When he saw Wu Bingzhi appear, he was about to stretch his legs in, but then he remembered something and quickly retracted his legs.
"Qingge she..."
Wu Bingzhi interrupted, "Come with me, His Highness wants to see you."
Yan Ruochu hurriedly picked up the cat and the sword beside him, and said in surprise: "Qingge is awake, is she okay now? Is there anything she wants to eat..."
Wu Bingzhi glanced at Yan Ruochu impatiently and said coldly: "Miss Yan, I am not you. It's fine if I was deceived by a villain, but the son of a criminal is more trustworthy than the words of His Highness.
"Even if you forget who you are, you don't seem to even have the basic trust as a friend."
In an instant, she felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over her from the excitement she had felt when she learned that Bai Qingge was awake.
Yan Ruochu lowered his head in guilt, and held the sword tightly with his hand.
"……sorry."
"If you really feel sorry for this cowardly person's escape, you shouldn't bother Your Highness again."
"I'm sorry..." Yan Ruchu lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly. She did not defend herself, but just apologized over and over again.
If the teams had not been switched at that time, no, that's not right, if Qingge had been believed at the beginning, then nothing that happened afterwards would have happened.
It's all my fault.
Ever since Qingge fell into a coma, he felt as if he had returned to the age of six.
How similar it is. She thought that after so many years of hard work, she had grown into a person who could distinguish right from wrong in the eyes of Qingge's mother, and the sword in her hand could finally protect the weak.
She was no longer afraid of the terrible insects on the trees, she no longer needed Qingyan to lead her away when she saw blood, and she could draw her sword to seek justice when she saw injustice.
She is no longer the person who would tremble in fear, nor is she the person who would cowardly escape when scolded by Qingyan.
It turns out that nothing has changed. She is still the same person, unable to see clearly and unable to protect.
The only courage she had was given by the person she had been avoiding, but she used it to hurt her again.
"We're here." Wu Bingzhi's voice woke Yan Ruchu up.
"Oh, um, okay, fine." With only a door between us, I had been looking forward to meeting her, but suddenly I became at a loss.
She took several deep breaths before she tremblingly reached out her hand to push the door. After finally preparing herself mentally, a hand was placed in front of her, blocking her way.
Yan Ruochu looked at Wu Bingzhi in confusion. Wu Bingzhi pointed at the sword in her hand and said, "I have to ensure your safety, so please give the sword to me for safekeeping. I will return it to you when you leave."
This action stimulated Yan Ruchu's already fragile nerves.
"What do you mean?" This was the sword that Qingge gave her on the day she accepted the knighthood from her 'master'. It represented protection and honor. If she really handed it over to someone else, then where would her 'master' be placed.
How could Wu Bingzhi not recognize such an important thing? Of course she recognized it, and she was also very clear about this sword and the meaning it represented, because she also had one, and her sister also had one in her hand.
Rather, every knight who is conferred an honor by His Highness will be presented with such a sword at the ceremony.
Handing the sword to someone else would undoubtedly be a violation of the oath you made when you became a knight.
It is betraying the 'master'.
