The imperial hunting grounds were surrounded by beautiful scenery, with mountains, waters, and forests.

Since Chu Lian was injured, the emperor allowed her to stay in her tent to rest. She didn't need to participate in any activities.

Those who were injured were probably the idlest within the entire camp.

Wenqing had informed her that, while she was still sleeping, some people had come to check on her situation, such as Old Duke Zheng, Sima Hui, and Captain Guo.

Sima Hui had also left behind a maidservant, who was skilled in medicine. Chu Lian walked to the lakeside nearby with Wenqing's support.

There was something that she couldn't understand. Why was her husband, He Changdi, whom she needed the most, still missing? Even people like Sima Hui, Captain Guo, and Xiao Hongyu had come to express their concern when they found out about her accident.

She took a deep breath of the refreshingly cool spring air to suppress the resentment in her heart.

If the emperor hadn't made arrangements for the officials who came, then she really wanted to rush to He Changdi and ask about his current thoughts.

She was seriously frustrated right now.

Even if he was dissatisfied with her, they still had to meet each other to make things clear. What was he trying to do by avoiding her?!

Chu Lian turned around and instructed Wenlan, "Go inquire about Imperial Princess Leyao's situation. Also, check if my husband is over at her side."

Just as Chu Lian finished speaking, she heard the sound of a woman's voice.

Chu Lian turned around and looked towards the direction of that voice.

She saw them at the lakeside about fifty to sixty meters away. A man in a black robe with an icy face and a sword strapped at his waist was walking beside a young girl sitting in a wooden wheelchair. There were five maidservant and court attendants behind the young girl.

Who else could they be other than He Changdi and Imperial Princess Leyao?

Chu Lian's clear eyes narrowed slightly. She stared at He Changdi and Imperial Princess Leyao, who were currently taking a stroll beside the lake.

Her mouth tilted upwards into a mocking smirk. The inner radiance on her beautiful face dimmed slightly.

So it turned out that He Changdi had been avoiding her because he was accompanying the injured Imperial Princess Leyao.

Well, she really learned something from that.

Wenqing and Wenlan, who were standing behind Chu Lian, also frowned when they saw the scene in front of them. They couldn't understand what Third Young Master was doing right now.

When had he became so close with Imperial Princess Leyao?

He Changdi had a cold expression on his face. With narrowed eyes and a bottomless gaze, it was hard to tell what he was thinking about. When looking carefully, he seemed to have two dark smudges under his eyes.

He suddenly sensed a familiar gaze on him. The moment he raised his head to look, he met with Chu Lian's astounded gaze.

He Changdi's eyebrows instantly furrowed and a flash of pain appeared within his eyes when he looked at Chu Lian.

He leaned forward slightly, wanting to run over to her immediately, but he suddenly thought of something and stopped himself from moving.

He took in a deep breath and suppressed the raging impulse within himself. Then, he turned his eyes away coldly.
