193. I Am Here To Protect You

Han Tingxuan did not need to keep secret from Mo Yanzhi after the honest conversation they had.

However, to his surprise, he fainted before going to bed that night… And this time, he woke up again at noon the next day!

The moment Han Tingxuan woke up, he saw Mo Yanzhi’s anxious eyes.

Han Tingxuan immediately knew that he had slept for a long time…

“How long have I slept?” Han Tingxuan asked softly.

Mo Yanzhi’s voice was also very soft. “From yesterday evening till now. It’s already noon.”

“Two hours longer than before,” Han Tingxuan sighed and got up.

Mo Yanzhi was about to help him out. Han Tingxuan waved his hand. “It’s okay. I’ll do it myself.”

Mo Yanzhi asked worriedly, “Are you alright?”

Han Tingxuan sat down and looked at Mo Yanzhi. “I’m alright…”

Mo Yanzhi turned his head slightly so that Han Tingxuan wouldn’t see the sadness in his eyes.

Even though Han Tingxuan did not see it, how could he not feel the unhappiness on Mo Yanzhi?

Hence, Han Tingxuan pointed to the bedside beside him. “Sit over here, Yanzhi.”

Mo Yanzhi moved over and already hid the sadness in his eyes when he looked up again.

“Yanzhi, don’t worry too much. Apart from oversleeping, I don’t have any other problems. Doctor Shen checked me up and said that I am fine.”

Mo Yanzhi was worried. “If you have no problem, why would you oversleep?”

Han Tingxuan sighed. “Yanzhi, I’m a little hungry. Is there anything I can eat?”

Mo Yanzhi nodded immediately. “I’ll tell them to bring it over. I’ve already prepared it.”

Soon enough, Han Tingxuan’s meal was sent over. Even though Han Tingxuan had always fainted, he had a good appetite.

Mo Yanzhi also felt a little relieved when Han Tingxuan was enjoying the meal.

After Han Tingxuan finished eating, he asked, “Have you eaten yet?”

Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Yes, I have.”

“Still eat those fruits?” asked Han Tingxuan.

Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Yes, four per day, never stopped.”

“There’s nothing wrong with eating them, right?” Han Tingxuan asked worriedly.

“Well, there’s no bad feeling. Only good feeling. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have insisted on eating them. Hubby, don’t worry. I know my physical condition very well.”

“That’s good,” Han Tingxuan ate a lot of fruit and he didn’t feel anything.

Mo Yanzhi thought about it and said, “Although you said that you have no obvious feeling of eating the fruits, I think that the fruits should be beneficial to human health. Why don’t you eat some every day? Four per day. What do you think?”

Han Tingxuan knew that Mo Yanzhi was worried about him. He did not want to turn him down.

“Alright,” Han Tingxuan agreed.

Mo Yanzhi was delighted. “Good. Then I’ll go get the fruit. You have one.”

The smile on Han Tingxuan’s face froze. “I just ate a lot.”

Mo Yanzhi frowned.

Han Tingxuan put on a smile. “Alright, I will have one.”

Mo Yanzhi quickly fetched one and said considerately, “Take your time.”

Although it was hard, Han Tingxuan still forced himself to finish one.

However, Han Tingxuan did not feel the warmth in his stomach as Mo Yanzhi said. After eating it, Han Tingxuan only felt that he couldn’t be fuller.

Mo Yanzhi asked, “What’s wrong? ”

Han Tingxuan smiled bitterly. “I am overwhelmingly full. I have to go out and digest it.”

“I’ll go with you,” said Mo Yanzhi immediately.

Han Tingxuan nodded and agreed.

There were inner and outer courtyard in the Suburban Palace and there were inner and outer backyards in the inner courtyard.

The outer backyard was guarded by a thousand royal palace warriors, while the inner backyard was protected by loyal secret guards.

Han Tingxuan and Mo Yanzhi had no worries of having a walk in the inner backyard.

Han Tingxuan stayed here for the next few days but he could not stay here forever. It was time to leave.

After they bid farewell, Han Tingxuan returned. Not long after he arrived at the Han residence, someone arrived. It was Dongfang Ye.

Dongfang Ye had actually come here every day for the past few days. However, Han Tingxuan was not home.

Han Tingxuan did not hide his whereabouts, so Dongfang Ye knew that he was in Suburban Palace.

However, just because Han Tingxuan could go to the Suburban Palace, it did not mean that everyone could go!

“Official Dongfang,” Han Tingxuan greeted with a smile.

Dongfang Ye had some small talk with him.

A moment later, the two of them went to the study.

Dongfang Ye thought that Han Tingxuan went to the Suburban Palace for his reason. Therefore, he had come over for the past days every day. Now that Han Tingxuan was back, he was nervous.

Han Tingxuan smiled and told him. “His majesty is kind to accept your request.”

Dongfang Ye was finally relieved. Then he knelt down on one knee. “Thank you! I owe you big.”

Han Tingxuan went over to get him up. “However, even though the Emperor is willing to help you, we need to make a good plan…”

“I see,” said Dongfang Ye immediately.

The two of them discussed it before Dongfang Ye left.

Han Tingxuan stood up and suddenly felt dizzy. Han Tingxuan quickly grabbed the edge of the table.

After a while, this dizziness passed and Han Tingxuan’s face turned pale. After a long while, he took a deep breath before slowly walking out.

He did not like the feeling of dizziness that might appear at any time.

Han Tingxuan checked the time and decided to make a trip to Bamboo Lane.

Yue Youbai was there. He had not seen him since last time. Now, they both knew each other’s identity. Therefore, he needed to check how he was doing.

But Yue Youbai was known as Xue’er who was no longer a prostitute because everyone knew that he was now Yang Shuo’s mistress.

Who was Yang Shuo? The boss of the Bamboo Lane!

However, there were people who did not know the situation. After all, Xue’er was famous for his beauty. He had a lot of admirers. Who was Yang Shuo? They had no idea.

That night, Han Tingxuan met someone in this situation.

“Send Xue’er here! He is the only one I want to see today! Hurry up! ”

A young man in his twenties yelled at a servant in Bamboo Lane. Behind this young man stood a few tall masculine men. They were obviously the young man’s bodyguards.

Han Tingxuan and Shadow Seven came together. Shadow Seven dressed himself like an ordinary servant.

“Shadow Seven, who’s that?”

“He is Sun Chou’s granddaughter.”

Han Tingxuan paused when he heard this.

Sun Chou was one member of the Sun family. However, the Sun family had been quiet recently. Even though the Emperor was not in the palace, they didn’t seem to do anything or cause any trouble. It looked like that they were really quiet. Who would have thought that this one was making a big fuss here?

Ignoring him, Han Tingxuan went towards the backyard. Han Tingxuan disguised himself as an ordinary man but someone with observant eyes would recognize him.

For example, Yue Youbai.

In the past two days, Yang Shuo was quite busy, and he was not in the City of Capital.

He didn’t want to leave at this time, but since Restaurant of Bon Appetite opened branches all over the country, he had to visit those branches in person.

Therefore, he left the day after Yue Youbai became Xue’er. But before he left, he told Yue Youbai the places he would visit. Although he was outside, sometimes he would send back letters.

It calmed down Yue Youbai who believed that Yang Shuo was sincere.

However, although he believed Yang Shuo, he did not believe others.

When Han Tingxuan came looking for him, Yue Youbai was prepared to leave if Han Tingxuan made  any special requests or asked him to betray the Yue Empire and so on!

“Greetings, your highness,” Yue Youbai greeted Han Tingxuan in his room.

Han Tingxuan smiled. “Greetings. There are no outsiders around. You are my brother Yang’s future male wife. You don’t have to bow to me.”

Yue Youbai paused slightly, pursed his lips and sat down.

“How do you like living here ?” asked Han Tingxuan.

Yue Youbai nodded. “Very good. I am used to living here.”

Han Tingxuan smiled too. “Very good.  I’m afraid you don’t like living here. But you can’t live here for long. I bet Yang Shuo has a plan for you.”

Yue Youbai did not think Yang Shuo would marry a “prostitute” as his legit male wife. But Yue Youbai would not allow himself to share a man with others. Therefore, he wouldn’t stay for long. And he had to be someone else.

However, Han Tingxuan was right. This should something that Yang Shuo should think of. Yang Shuo was too busy to deal with this matter. He only needed to make sure he and Yue Youbai were on the same page.

The two had a small talk. Han Tingxuan could tell that there was no resentment in Yue Youbai’s eyes and Yue Youbai was not pretending to be relaxed. Even though he put up guard against Han Tingxuan, it was understandable.

Hence, Han Tingxuan was relieved for the time being and made a joke. “You are attractive indeed. A man is making a fuss outside just to see you.”

Yue Youbai raised an eyebrow slightly. “Oh? Who is it? ”

“A random man.” Han Tingxuan didn’t say anything else. He thought for a moment and said, “You are someone that Brother Yang cares about. You shouldn’t belittle yourself. If someone offends you, you feel free to fight back no matter who he is. You can show your real martial arts. Just remember that you can’t be harmed under my watch, otherwise, Brother Young might blame me when he comes back.”

Yue Youbai did not expect Han Tingxuan to say something like this.

Yue Youbai was touched and nodded gently. “Thank you, Brother Han.”

“Alright, it’s such a pleasure to hear you calling me Brother Han,” said Han Tingxuan with a smile.

Yue Youbai also smiled lightly.

In the end, Han Tingxuan did not ask Yue Youlong to remove Yue Youbai’s martial arts. Therefore, Yue Youbai still had powerful martial arts, even more powerful than Yang Shuo!

At this moment, there was a loud voice outside. Han Tingxuan and Yue Youbai raised their eyebrows.

Han Tingxuan heard a familiar voice.

“Xue’er! Come out!”

Yue Youbai stood up. “I’ll take a look.”

Han Tingxuan shook his head. “He’s asking for death. You should not get involved. I would like to see what the Sun family is up to!”

Hearing this, Yue Youbai said, “Isn’t it better for me to show myself?”

Han Tingxuan shook his head. “No, your identity is a problem after all. If you become a target, it will cause trouble. Most importantly, I am here. Why should you show yourself? I am here to protect you.”

Yue Youbai paused. At this moment, he felt being protected by Han Tingxuan.

Big Brother? The corner of his mouth curved up…

Han Tingxuan said and walked towards the door.

At this time, the young man had already arrived in front of him…

“Didn’t you say that Xue’er stop seeing anyone? Look! He just walked out of Xue’er’s room.” The young man glared viciously at the servant in Bamboo Lane.

The servant secretly rolled his eyes. This is our boss’s friend. Who are you?!

“This is our boss’s good friend. He came to have a talk with Xue’er, not for his service.”

“Nonsense!” The young man was furious. “You look down on me right? Today, Xue’er has to make me in in any case. You… Ah… ”

The young man was kicked backwards without finishing his sentence.

“What a brave man…” Han Tingxuan smiled. “Well done!” He gave the guard a thumbs-up.

The guard smiled shyly.

The young man’s servants reacted.

“Master!” They roared, and then they helped their master get back on feet.

The young man was extremely angry. “Beat him! Beat him!”

The young man’s bodyguards started a fight.

However, the guards here in the Bamboo Lane were not bad.

This young man was literally asking for death!
