Xia Chen's Residence.

Xia Chen lay on his bed, his gaze fixed on the window. Beside him sat a woman, at once alluringly beautiful and yet regally dignified, her eyes filled with worry as she watched him.

It was none other than Princess Pingyang.

When Xia Chen was first carried back on a stretcher, Bizhu had been frantic. She had rushed to summon a physician and boil water to clean his wounds, utterly overwhelmed. But it wasn't long before the gatekeeper announced that Princess Pingyang herself had arrived. The residence was thrown into another bout of chaos and disorder. In the end, it was Xu Xingchen who stepped forward to take control of the situation and usher the princess inside.
