Anyone would be extremely shocked to hear that the emperor and his subjects, who are on equal footing, do not shy away from each other.

Kanzaki Teru did not reveal his confusion too much, and his expression remained indifferent as always.

He began to realize that this place might hold a different kind of secret.

"So that's what it is! Chitaki, look, my head is still inside the documents I was studying!"

Kanzaki Teru cleverly covered up this slip of the tongue.

Princess Gaoyue was very convinced after hearing this.

"No wonder, I was wondering why you always talked so strangely, turns out your books had mesmerized you."

Chapter 161: Princess Gaoyue Only Knows That Much

Kanzaki Teru breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed there was no need to be too wary of Princess Takazuki in front of him.

Kanzaki Teru felt that his questioning and probing were far too obvious.

However, Princess Gaoyue seemed completely unaware and fell into his trap step by step.

The things I wanted to know were all thoroughly questioned.

"Qianlong, have you ever been to any place outside of Yan?"

This is what Kanzaki Teru truly wanted to understand.

Princess Gaoyue's entire account was extremely narrow.

However, this is understandable. As a princess, she must have grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, and her every move from childhood to adulthood must have been highly protected.

In fact, Kanzaki Teru knew in his heart that such a question might not yield any results.

But it's better to ask than not to ask, just in case.

Princess Gaoyue hesitated noticeably when she heard the question.

Then he shook his head in disappointment.

"No……"

Her tone was soft and gentle, making people feel affection for her.

Kanzaki Teru had already guessed this outcome; it seemed that Princess Takatsuki was no longer able to get any information about this place out of her.

"Although my father took me to travel around from childhood to adulthood, we have never actually left the borders of the Yan Kingdom."

"Everyone says that the State of Yan is the safest place."

"We've heard that you're dangerous in the outside world, and none of us like going out."

Kanzaki Teru listened thoughtfully and nodded.

He chimed in, "Exactly! Our Yan Kingdom is so wonderful, why would we go abroad!"

Hearing Kanzaki Teru's affirmation, Princess Takazuki's smile became even brighter.

"Knock down."

As the two were chatting happily, there was a knock on the door.

"Young master, the medicine is ready and I'm bringing it to you!"

Hearing the maid's voice outside, Princess Gaoyue quickly jumped away from Kanzaki Hui and lightly hopped to the door.

"Give me the medicine!"

Seeing this, the maid carefully handed the jade tray to Princess Gaoyue.

He slowly and politely said, "Young Madam, I take my leave."

Kanzaki Teru observed all of this, his mind racing with thoughts.

Judging from Princess Gaoyue's description, this country does not seem to have an excessive class division.

But looking at how the master and servant get along, there is a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors, and it doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as Princess Gao Yue described.

"What exactly happened...?"

Kanzaki Teru murmured to himself, "There are too many mysteries surrounding this place that cannot be unraveled."

Just then, Princess Gaoyue returned to her side with the medicine.

"Take your medicine quickly, Hui, and get well soon!"

Princess Gaoyue gently fed the medicine with a spoon inlaid with gold.

Before Kanzaki Teru could even marvel at the luxurious ingredients, he was already fed a mouthful of medicinal soup.

"Rest well after taking your medicine, and you'll recover quickly!"

The small bowl of medicine was drunk very quickly, and with a beautiful woman by his side, he barely had time to savor the happiness of being fed medicine by hand before it was over.

Kanzaki Teru lingered on that last bit of tenderness, but Princess Takatsuki had already gotten up to leave.

"Hui, you should rest now. I won't disturb you since you're sick. Go and rest in the side room!"

Kanzaki Teru's eyes darted around, and he realized what was happening.

These two are a married couple; they sleep together all the time!

Although Kanzaki Teru can be described as having had countless affairs in "The Other Shore".

He'd seen all sorts of beautiful women, but right now, his memories were fragmented.

I can't remember how glorious I used to be.

And a beauty like Princess Gaoyue, with her classical Eastern beauty, is quite a novelty.

Before Kanzaki Teru could even say anything to stop him, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.

Princess Gaoyue had already closed the door and left.

Kanzaki Teru was left alone on the bed, lost in endless reverie.

……

However, Kanzaki Teru quickly put these distracting thoughts aside.

Now, a bigger question is troubling him, leaving him with little energy to think about these things that come after a good meal.

But the more he thought about it, the more chaotic his thoughts became.

After drinking this medicine, I felt dizzy and groggy.

Despite the support of a little spiritual energy, it was difficult to mask this drowsiness.

Kanzaki Teru struggled a bit to regain his senses.

But it all seems to be in vain.

With each breath, drowsiness gradually washed over me.

Gradually becoming unable to resist, Kanzaki Teru fell into a deep sleep amidst this struggle.

Beside the mahogany bed, a jewel-encrusted incense burner emitted wisps of smoke in the darkness.

Under the candlelight, it even appeared somewhat alluring.

The servant guarding the door carefully observed the movements inside.

After making sure the young master was asleep, she quietly entered the room.

One by one, all the candles were extinguished, leaving only faint specks of light reflecting off the starlight and the night sky in the entire room.

However, the smoke rising from the incense burner still drifted through the darkness, filling the entire room.

Chapter 162: This Extravagant Courtyard

Kanzaki Teru slept soundly that night, as if some captivating power had lulled him into a deep sleep.

As a result, he cannot use his alone time at night for independent thinking and resistance.

However, when Kanzaki Teru awoke from his long, deep sleep, he felt refreshed, a feeling he had never experienced before.

It seems that even in the fragments of memory remaining in his mind, he could not capture a similar feeling.

He began to realize how exhausted he might have been before, to the point that he couldn't even sleep well.

Kanzaki Teru was once considered a person with superhuman strength and extraordinary talent. In their supernatural world, sleeping was a relatively normal thing.

Even with real eyes, there won't be any problems for ten days or half a month.

They live entirely on a breath of immortal energy, so whether they can sleep or not doesn't really matter.

But now, in this void of time and space, Kanzaki Hikaru seems to have become a real human being with a mortal body.

The routines that humans need seem to be forcibly enforced.

Kanzaki Teru also noticed last night that it seemed as if a mysterious force was controlling it, making it follow the body's previous habits.

The sky outside was beginning to lighten, and you could still hear the sounds of servants and maids working in the courtyard.

Kanzaki Teru got up, stretched, and loosened his muscles.

He hasn't left this courtyard yet; he's been lying in bed since yesterday without taking another step.

He was curious about what kind of scene lay outside the luxurious room.

However, upon closer reflection, the family that could marry the most favored princess of the Yan Kingdom was not an ordinary wealthy and powerful family that could match it.

Perhaps the servants waiting outside had overly sensitive ears, or perhaps Kanzaki Teru's waking up was too noisy.

He had just gotten out of bed when the door outside was pushed open.

Two or three maids walked in with their heads down and small, quick steps.

She was still holding a shiny, reflective garment with a subtle pattern in her hand.

Kanzaki Teru seems to have some kind of motor memory; whenever they approach, he instinctively spreads out his hands.

The maids swiftly dressed him and styled his hair.

Kanzaki Teru glimpsed himself in the bronze mirror. Under his angular and handsome face, the jade and gold crown did not look rustic at all.

The dark-colored, subtly patterned outer robe, while mature, did not overly conceal the youthful spirit.

With sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a tall and straight figure, and a jade pendant at his waist, he was a man of noble status.
