All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: No One Can Take Her Empire Away (22)

He wouldn’t fuss over such trivial matters with her.

Your Majesty is also human; isn’t it normal to have flaws? As State Preceptor, he should be accommodating as long as there aren’t any major issues.

”In theory, the medical books cannot be lent out, but if Your Majesty desires them, there won’t be any problem; the head of the family won’t refuse.”

A Bright Monarch appearing is the greatest joy for the Xun Family, so how could they possibly disagree to lend the medical books for such a minor matter?

”Then I’d like to borrow your Xun Family’s medical books to read while you help me restore my health. Is there anything the Xun Family desires?”

Xun Zihuai wasn’t sure what Qiann Yan intended to do with the medical books: ”I will send a letter to the family head immediately; the medical books will be delivered in no time. I wonder which medical books Your Majesty wishes to read? I have some with me now, but they are quite profound and difficult to understand, not suitable for outsiders... As for what the Xun Family wants, naturally, it is peace in the world and for the people to live and work in peace and happiness. Your Majesty becoming a Bright Monarch is the Xun Family’s greatest wish.”

”If possible, I’d like to read them all.”

Qiann Yan contemplated inwardly; since Xun Zihuai claimed he could restore her body to its original condition, it indicated the depth of Xun’s Medical Skill. If she could learn the techniques from the medical books, perhaps after completing her mission, she could use those medical skills to treat the burn scars on her face.

The next day, Xun Zihuai prepared various medicines to help Qiann Yan restore her health.

Every day, Qiann Yan had to soak in a medicinal bath once. After soaking in the bath, she had to apply a black paste, similar to ointment, on her body.

At this moment, she had already applied the ointment, dressed, and was reclining on the soft couch with her hands resting on the padded table, while Xun Zihuai was carefully tending to her hands.

Indeed, he was tending to her hands, using a thin, sharp blade that could meticulously remove dead skin and calluses.

The original owner had used this body to battle since her teens, for nearly ten years. It was perfectly normal for calluses to form on her palms from years of gripping weapons against enemies.

Moreover, her palms had become unsightly, with numerous scars.

The original owner was once a pampered young lady who had never lifted a finger for household chores, yet she was driven by love to wield weapons and fight in battles. While other women were being pampered in their boudoirs, she used her elegant appearance to face war, but ultimately ended up with an unfavorable outcome.

Should it be said she was foolish, or just infatuated?

Qiann Yan stared at her hands, which Xun Zihuai was carefully tending to, not causing her any harm, showing he was a thoughtful person.

Nothing else needed to be said; Xun Zihuai was indeed a highly valuable talent. With someone like him by her side, Yaan Country would have no worries for a century. Even if she were to leave this world immediately, Xun Zihuai could support the new emperor in steadying the kingdom.

This person possessed courage, wisdom, and decisiveness. Most importantly, he held the world dearly, was not greedy for power, and had no ulterior motives. Upon careful thought, he truly was a perfect person.

”Your Majesty, applying the ointment I specially prepared for you will show effect within a month,” Xun Zihuai said, looking at Qiann Yan’s weathered hands with a heavy heart, ”Very soon they’ll be restored to being slender and fair. In the future, Your Majesty won’t have to wield weapons, nor will it be like before.”

”Not wield weapons? But I practice sword every day.”

Qiann Yan was slightly displeased; practicing sword every day was something she had to do. She liked beautiful hands but didn’t want to become powerless.

Xun Zihuai: ”You can practice the sword; I mean that the future won’t be as harsh, and you won’t go to the battlefield chopping people every day.”

”Even if Your Majesty practices sword for twelve hours a day, with me here, it won’t become like before.”

He would protect her.

With him here, how could he allow her to torment herself as she did in the past?
