Yuan Zhen quickly changed his words: "What I mean is, it's truly satisfying."
Yuan Ruxin followed and said: "Exactly, the Emperor tormented Father and Brother so much; letting him feel some pain might reduce his focus on our family."
Zhi'er hesitated for a moment.
Seeing the siblings' attitude, she decided not to reveal her miraculous healing of Xie Yu just yet.
She planned to first secure an immunity decree for the Yuan Family, easing their relationship with the Emperor, before mentioning it.
Zhi'er didn't stay at the Yuan Residence for long before she returned to the imperial palace.
She reappeared in the side hall.
Before she could steady herself, she heard a deep voice: "You've appeared."
Zhi'er was startled.
Turning her eyes, she saw Xie Yu's young figure behind the screen, appearing somewhat frail under the candlelight.
Zhi'er steadied herself: "You've... been waiting here all along?"
Xie Yu sneered: "Would I wait for you forever? Don't dream."
