Wei Liuying pursed her lips. Yang Xian's words sounded as if he wished for her to get well soon just to be able to work again.

"Are there so much work?"

"Just the usual," Yang Xian replied. "His Highness is dumping his work on me again, so I hope that you can be there to help me out."

Hearing that, the corner of Wei Liuying's lips curled up to form a smile. She already knew that Prince Ji Sheng truly loved to dump his works to Yang Xian and Shi Yan on some matters. After all, they were more proficient in it compared to him.

"Where are the others?" Now that she thought about it, Wei Liuying hadn't seen Prince Ji Sheng and the others.

"Lady Gao and Prince Ji Sheng had departed this morning to the north. On the other hand, I have been requested an audience with His Majesty along with you, the one who fend the tribes people away."

It took Wei Liuying a moment before she could recall everything that happened before she went unconscious. She might need to talk under the gazes of those officials if she had to enter the capital city again.

Yang Xian studied Wei Liuying's expression for a moment. "Lady Gao also wished to tell you that she's sorry."

"Yes?"

"She hope that you will forgive her for making things difficult this time."

"I'm totally fine," Wei Liuying responded. If anything, she was glad that Gao Ling could help her out in the end. Everyone made mistake and this time, Gao Ling's mistake was not that big to the point she couldn't forgive the other party.

"She also wished for you to attend her study…."

"Help me decline that one."

Yang Xian laughed at Wei Liuying's quick reply. The time when Wei Liuying and Yang Xian were forced to watch Gao Ling studying the arts were quite the torture. The two of them were not used to do arts and compared to Gao Ling, they looked like a child who had never learned art before.

Wei Liuying recalled the others. "How about Lu Wen and Shan Yi?"

"They're still outside, but I think they're already going to sleep soon."

"It's night?"

"Yes."

Wei Liuying sighed lightly. It seemed that her wake up time was quite bad. Thinking that it was night time, she looked at Yang Xian with arched eyebrows. "In that case, why are you still awake, Yang Xian?"

"I still have work," Yang Xian replied unhurriedly.

Two pairs of dark eyes were looking at each other as if trying to sound each other out. Even after such a long time, Wei Liuying still liked to study Yang Xian's eyes to figure out the man's real intention.

After all, eyes were the window to their heart. it was easier to detect their lies from their eyes and some small reaction that they might not realize it themselves.

"Are they going to go soon?" Wei Liuying asked.

Yang Xian nodded. "Shan Yi has been requesting his men to pick them up, so we're going to stay with them for the time being. Besides, Shi Lu Wen didn't wish to leave before you wake up."

Hearing that, Wei Liuying lightly nodded. She could guess that one of the main reasons was because there were not many female doctors. Even if there were some, Prince Ji Sheng couldn't trust them.

The one that they trusted greatly was Shi Lu Wen, so Yang Xian would have her check and took care of Wei Liuying.

"I see."

"I don't really like the thought of you working right after you wake up, but this is quite urgent." Yang Xian put the empty bowl to the side and took out a bamboo scroll and handed it to Wei Liuying. "This is the copy of the report I gave His Majesty regarding this incident."

"The report? Are there anything different from what had happened?"

"I don't know the details of your instruction, but from what the others give out, this is the report that I send to His Majesty not long ago. Please make sure you memorize it." Yang Xian walked to the side and took a teapot along with two cups.

Wei Liuying looked at the scroll and resisted the urge to not laugh. She had just woken up, but Yang Xian already pulled her to have another work related to her occupation as a strategist again. It seemed that there was truly no time for her to have a real rest.

"Do you want me to work again now?"

"No. I want you to be aware of this because once you're healthy enough, we'll go to the capital city for an audience with His Majesty."

Hearing that, Wei Liuying nearly dropped the bamboo scroll in her hand. She had thought about meeting the Emperor because of this incident. But when Yang Xian told her that they would go once she was healthy enough, she felt that it was too quick. She was not prepared to meet with him at all.

"Do I really have to?"

"Lady Gao have prepared a letter of recommendation for you, Liu Ying. I'm sure that His Majesty will be waiting for you to meet with him too."

Wei Liuying sighed. She was sure that the letter Gao Ling wrote would be filled with praise because of what she did. After all, she had seen the gaze in Gao Ling's eyes when she was protecting her back in the temple.

And based on what Yang Xian told her about what had occurred….

Wei Liuying hoped that the praise would not be over the roof. She might not be brave enough to walk out of her house if it was too much.

Slowly, Wei Liuying opened the scroll and began to read the content inside. It was not that long, but it gave enough detail for one to be able to imagine what kind of battle was going on in the temple.

Looking at it, Wei Liuying had a hard time believing everything she read.

"Courageous, brave, unyielding Strategist Liu… Who in the world is that?" Wei Liuying looked at Yang Xian with scrunched face.

How in the world she got such a high praise?

Yang Xian laughed when he saw Wei Liuying's expression. "It's His Highness the Third Prince's order to make sure that everyone know Liu Ying's greatness in the battlefield."

Wei Liuying was speechless. What kind of greatness? She only held down the enemies by giving order and then fighting with the help of others around her. There was nothing great with what she did.

"Yang Xian, are you sure they're going to believe this kind of report?"

Looking back at Wei Liuying's face, Yang Xian smiled as he poured the tea. His skillful action looked as if he had been doing it for years. "With so many soldiers giving the same testament, I'm sure His Majesty had no other choice but to believe."

Wei Liuying: "…" the soldiers who are still alive praise me that much?

Forcing her feelings down, Wei Liuying lowered her head and looked at the scroll once more. The more she read, the more confused she was. The person Yang Xian described in the scroll didn't seem to be like her at all. In fact, it was so outrageous that Wei Liuying felt the 'Liu Ying' in the report was a surreal person.

Who would know about the enemy's movement when she could barely see them? She could only guess and estimated while keeping her own life safe.

Who would think of trapping them in fire and burn them? She only thought of creating a barrier between her and the enemies.

Who would think of delaying time by wounding herself, ah? She was not that idiot to think that by using her body as shield, she would be able to stall time that much. What she wanted at that time was to give chance for Shan Yi to eliminate the enemies.

However, they were not allowed to put Shan Yi into the report, so the events were changed bit by bit.

Thus, Wei Liuying felt that this report would only make the Emperor had extremely high expectation on her. This was all truly heavy praise, especially when it came from Yang Xian who was already famous to be a young and talented strategist.

"Wouldn't this make Prince Ji Sheng in more difficult situation?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Because this report is praising me to the sky and the two of us are under Prince Ji Sheng. I'm sure the Emperor will want to take us away from Prince Ji Sheng since having one great strategist is already a great threat," Wei Liuying said unhurriedly.

Yang Xian laughed. "That's our goal."

"What?"

"We want to make it seems as if Prince Ji Sheng can't do anything without the help of the talented people around him. That way, they would be trying to poach us. Since you're fairly new, I'm sure a lot of officials will try to come for you," Yang Xian said. He smiled bitterly. "This is why your position will be the hardest to have."

Wei Liuying looked at the report and sighed. "I need to act, right?"

"Yes."

"I see. In that case, I hope that you'll be able to handle the degree of my acting."

"Heh, don't underestimate me."
