Chapter 142: Recuperation

Inside the He residence, everyone felt extremely uncomfortable.

When the door opened and He Suian carried Xiang He in, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The group rushed up and were somewhat relieved to see that Xiang He's eyes were still open.

"What happened? You just went out for a short while, how did you come back sideways?!"

One sentence made Xiang He laugh, "Seventh Sister, I'm just feeling weak, could you and Xin Yue prepare some food for me?"

"Ready? I'm going to heat it up."

"Thank you, Seventh Sister."

Looking at her anxious and flustered figure, Xiang He felt a little guilty. After all, she had kept it a secret for a long time, and everyone in the house knew about it except her.

He Sui'an hugged her tightly in the room, placing the injured rabbit at her feet. "You guys go out first."

"I'll stay here with you."

Xiang He was slightly surprised. When she looked up, she saw his firm gaze, which brooked no refusal. Xiang He had no choice but to compromise.

"Alright, enough with the illusion, time for class."

Shen Zhuoci wanted to stay a little longer, but seeing that their actions would likely take a long time, he had no choice but to give up.

"I should go back now; Fu Hua will be coming to find me soon."

"I'm troubling you, Your Highness."

"Don't mention it. I've seen quite a bit lately. Speaking of which, with all the rescuing you guys have, this place is practically turning into a haunted house, isn't it?"

Suddenly, a black flash appeared before his eyes, and Chu Wu stopped beside the rabbit, nuzzling it with his head.

Looking again at the mirage, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. "Yes, it's become a zoo..."

"zoo?"

"Your Highness, please wait."

"..."

Shen Zhuoci turned and left, and Qi Xin could only follow. He glanced at the house one last time before leaving sheepishly.

After they left, Xing Jizhu closed the door. Xiang Huiying watched from the kitchen, her heart filled with worry, "What has He'er been doing lately... why is she always like this..."

Jiang Xinyue, who was helping out, felt a pang of anxiety. She crouched down and looked at the fire. "Don't think too much. Look at how He'er knows the young master. What they've done must be extraordinary, but nothing will happen to them. After all, the young master is there."

"Having said that..."

Knowing her worries, Jiang Xinyue reached out and poked the firewood. "Don't think about it. Look, is it hot up there? Everyone's here tonight, let's cook something nice."

"Um……"

In the kitchen, the two had their own worries, while in the room, He Suian sat on a stool by the bed, watching Xiang He sitting cross-legged, calming himself down by taking deep breaths.

The crow stayed by the rabbit's side the whole time, and the shocking blood on the rabbit's body had dried, but the talisman paper did not bleed a single drop of blood.

Jinghua Shuiyue obediently pulled up a stool and sat on the edge of the bed, slowly closing her eyes.

"The Supreme Star, ever-responsive; exorcising evil and binding demons, protecting life and safeguarding the body..."

The voice was soft, but became clearer as it went on. He Sui'an stared intently at her, listening carefully to the incantation.

Her voice filled the room, and Jinghua Shuiyue opened and closed her mouth, even starting to recite along.

Streaks of white light, like clouds and mist, appeared and swirled around them. Even the rabbit was entangled by the white light, as if it were healing her wounds.

Chu Wu moved its head and flapped its wings, trying to fly to Xiang He's side. He Suian reached out, and Chu Wu obediently grabbed his wrist, no longer moving.

She didn't know how much time had passed until there was a knock on the door. Xiang He suddenly opened her eyes, and there was no longer any blurry or confused look in them. Her eyes were now perfectly clear.

"What time is it?"

He Sui'an waved his hand, and Chu Wu flew to the rabbit's side, "Shen Shi Mo".

“It’s so late,” Xiang He rubbed his thigh and reached out to peel off the talisman on the rabbit. “The wound has stopped bleeding, but it will need to rest for a while.”

Mirror Flower Water Moon opened her eyes, both of them with rosy cheeks. "Miss, I feel full of energy!"

"That's good."

Xiang He reached out her hand, and He Sui'an instinctively reached out to help her, saying, "Go out, Seventh Sister is very worried about you."

She sniffed, the delicious aroma of the food making her swallow. "I really need to get out of here quickly, I'm hungry again."

"Your actions today should make Xiang Ling pay close attention."

Without stopping, Xiang He turned around and covered the rabbit with a blanket. "He had already noticed. Today's actions were just a test. So what if he found out? It's not that easy to scheme against someone."

Recalling his face, which regarded demons as evil spirits, Xiang He curled her lip in disdain.

As he withdrew his hand, he glanced at the rabbit, then suddenly remembered something, his face showing astonishment, "He's from Longguang Temple?!"

He Sui'an frowned. "The young master said that Longguang Temple sent someone... In that case, the Imperial Preceptor should already know about you."

The two exchanged a glance, and Xiang He pressed his hand down as she got off the bed. "So... this was something the Imperial Advisor deliberately arranged for Xiang Ling to do?"

"possible."

The two walked behind Mirror Flower Water Moon. When they closed the door, they glanced at the sleeping rabbit. Seeing that she was alright, Xiang He closed the door.

Tables and chairs had already been set up in the courtyard. Wang Rongxing was bringing out dishes. Seeing that she was in much better spirits, he quickly called out, "Come and sit down. Xinyue made a lot of your favorite dishes."

"Have a heart."

Jiang Xinyue kept her in mind, and whenever it came to that kind of thing, she would help cover it up so that Xiang Huiying wouldn't find out anything.

I really need to thank her for this.

After everyone sat down, Xiang Huiying repeatedly confirmed that Xiang He was alright before she felt relieved.

"Don't do anything dangerous anymore..."

Xiang He reached out and gently patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "I'm fine, it's just a lingering ailment from before, I just need to rest and recuperate for a while."

"really?"

"Of course it's true. I'm so hungry right now, can I eat now?"

Hearing her say she was hungry, Xiang Huiying immediately served her rice, saying, "Eat slowly, be careful not to get bloated."

"it is good."

She knew Xiang Huiying didn't quite believe it, but for now she could only keep it a secret and deal with it later.

Jiang Xinyue raised her eyes slightly to look at the two of them, her mind clear as day. She reached out and picked up some food for Xiang He, saying, "You should stay home for a few days. Your husband has been so worried about you lately, watching over you day and night."

Everyone looked at He Suian, who said calmly, "Everyone is worried, don't point fingers at me."

"Look, sir, you're still a little embarrassed. You should eat more; you've been working so hard these past few days."

He Sui'an remained calm, but Xiang He glanced at him subtly. Despite his composed appearance, his ears were slightly red.

Xing Ji and Zhu Nan ate in silence, while Jing Hua Shui Yue occasionally made a few jokes, making the meal quite enjoyable.

Chu Wu was eating raw rice on the side, occasionally shaking his head and staring at Xiang He, as if trying to see through this Taoist priest.

Seeing that it was eating with great gusto, Xiang Huiying put out a small pile of food.

"Hey girl, this Chu crow seems so intelligent. Where did you pick it up from?"

"Didn't we go to the Zhenjun Temple with Mirror Flower Water Moon that day? We picked it up because it was injured."

Xiang Huiying nodded in realization, "By the way, when did 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' arrive? We didn't see it when we first arrived."

Jinghua paused in her eating, then picked up some food for Shuiyue and said calmly, "I left for a while earlier. Seventh Miss, don't keep talking to her; she still wants to eat a few more bites."

"I'm so hungry..."

Xiang He smacked her lips, looking slightly aggrieved, and Xiang Huiying immediately put some food on her plate, saying, "I forgot about that..."
