Two days passed since Jian and Bao arrived at Physician Huo's house. Bao still had not regained consciousness since her operation. Resting on a straw mat she was now fully cleaned wearing a pale pink hanfu her extremely long raven her was neatly combed down, despite a few red scars on her face she looked beautiful much more feminine her chalk white skin shining.
Jian, Physician Huo, and the female assistant Xia were patiently waiting for her to wake up. Jian more than the two he had so many questions for her and he couldn't wait for her to answer.

"Ah such a shame this beautiful young miss has all these scars on her body she may have trouble finding a husband prestige enough for her later in life. Crown Prince explain again how she ended up in this state?" Xia said placing a hot towel on Bao's face.
"She saved my life...it's my fault she's in this state I owe her a lot even if she deceived me.." his voice trailed off.
"I don't think you are the only one she has deceived my Prince it seems like she has been pretending to be male for awhile", Said Physician Huo sighing.
"When do you think she'll wake up we can all have proper answers then", the Prince said.

"Crown Prince she may wake up in two years time or she may never even wake up with comas we just don't know. Which is why me and Uncle Huo believe that it's best if you leave your highness I'm sure that there are a lot people worried about your safety you need to go back to Chang'An before they presume you dead and name a new Crown Prince", Xia said.
"No I can't leave her! There's probably a lot of people worried about her too which is why we should both leave together...plus I don't care if they name another Crown Prince sick of that title and all the terms that come with it", he said shaking his head in disapproval.

"My niece is correct my Prince, it's best if you leave Your life is much more important than this young miss I will organise someone to immediately take you back to Chang'An. You can always come back to this village to check up on her", physician Huo said patting Jian's back.
"You guys don't understand I'm not leaving I don't care about what my family is thinking back at the capital the further away from them the better!"
"Whatever you say Crown Prince", Xia sighed.
The room was now silent Jian and Xia we're both sitting on either side of Bao watching her to see any responses from her and the physician was napping against the wall near the entrance.

Meanwhile Bao was dreaming:

Frost was biting her soft skin as she was walking at a fast pace on the icy street leading to her home Wei's manor. When she got to the gate of the manor she let out a sigh of relief it felt like she was finally coming home after a hard ordeal which she wasn't quite sure the ordeal even was all she knew was that she was home. An elderly maid opened the gate for welcoming her with a hug so warm Bao didn't feel the cold from the street anymore.

"Wait..aren't you my grandma's longtime maidservant Cao? Didn't you die like five years ago from the plague? What are you doing here alive?"
The elderly woman chuckled grabbing Bao's wrist her touch was so light it felt like air touching her to lead her to General Wei's study.
"The general has been waiting for you Young Miss", Maidservant Cao said opening the doors for Bao to enter.
