Wang Fuxing when arrived at the residence in the evening was inford about Huo Jin's. He imdiately went to check on Huo Jin.
"What happened to Huo Jin?"
Upon hearing Wang Fuxing's voice, both Wang Hao and Yin Na stood up. They turned to him and bowed. Wang Fuxing ca forward and glanced at unconscious Huo Jin.
"Who did this to him?" Wang Fuxing asked as he looked at the wound.
"Father, the investigation is going on," Wang Hao replied.
"Since when has he been in this state?"
"Father, it's been more than eight hours," Wang Hao replied. His Father asked him a few more questions before leaving with Wang Hao.
"Father, soone from the upper-class had attacked him," Wang Hao replied. "The bow and arrows recovered from the forest where he was attacked clearly show that it's soone from a good family. Though, the quality is not good," he explained.
"Last night, Huo Jin hit the son of the previous minister," Wang Fuxing asserted. "He might be the one who attacked him. He must have taken it on his pride," Wang Fuxing deduced.
"Liang Wu did this!" Wang Hao was astonished to hear the words of his father.
"Indeed. I am well aware of Liang Wu's aggressive behavior. He once killed a young servant for a small mistake. He does not like it when the person below his status tries to dominate him," Wang Fuxing pronounced.
"He is a suspect though, at the present mont. Maybe Huo Jin knows and after waking, he will tell us. However, I want you to investigate Liang Wu," Wang Fuxing told his son, who followed the command of his father.
"Do not leave your wife alone. Yin Na can take care of Huo Jin at night," Wang Fuxing advised his son.
"Father, Yin Na has been with him since noon," Wang Hao replied with a concerned look. "She also needs rest." He was worried about his sister.
"How will love bloom between them, then?" Wang Fuxing said with a grin. He looked inside the room with the window, beside the door.
"This punk last night saved Yin Na but cannot accept his feelings for her! Let him see with his own eyes that Yin Na truly cares for him. He always says no one was there to look after him! Now, Yin Na is right beside him and he must realize it," Wang Fuxing pronounced. The smile never faded from his lips.
Wang Hao was startled to hear his father. He thought his father wanted Yin Na not to look at Huo Jin. But now he was acting completely different. He was happy that his father understood Yin Na.
"What did Lord Xu say? He must be unhappy that Yin Na stepped back from the marriage. Bai Yaling told that Xu Wenhai even gave her the family golden hairpin to Yin Na," Wang Hao said and they started to walk away from Huo Jin's room.
"My friend has no problem with Yin Na's decision," Wang Fuxing replied and put his hands behind his back. "It was the choice of our children. Moreover, Xu Wenhai said that he cannot marry Yin Na when she carries soone else in her heart," he affird.
Wang Hao agreed with Xu Wenhai.
"I was telling the sa thing to Father. But he was adamant to go forward with this marriage," Wang Hao said.
Wang Fuxing chuckled. "Are you blaming your father?!" He asked with astonishnt.
Forgive , Father. I never blad you," Wang Hao cleared him.
"I did this so that Huo Jin will stop them from going close. I sotis wonder why he thinks that he controlled himself well even in front of them. In your marriage, I saw his annoyance towards Xu Wenhai," Wang Fuxing stated.
"So, Father did all this to make Huo Jin confess?" Wang Hao queried.
"Yes."
"Father, Xu Wenhai said many bad things to him," Wang Hao inford him.
"That's why Xu Wenhai is guilty and did not even stop Yin Na from breaking off this marriage. The problem is, Huo Jin was once a traitor. Xu Wenhai is not wrong either, because we all know a person who betrayed his own person can betray the others too!"
Wang Fuxing was right but Huo Jin was not that kind of person. He did everything for Xinyue. Nothing more!
However, Xu Wenhai did not understand that if the Emperor had forgiven him and accepted him as his person, then he should too. A person must analyze both sides of the coin before jumping to a conclusion.
"But Huo Jin is not a traitor in our eyes. He only did it in pressure or you can say to survive," Wang Fuxing deduced.
General Wang totally agreed with him.
"Huo Jin will wake up in the morning. Since the arrow hit just above the chest, on the left side, it beca a severe wound. Do not worry about him," Wang Fuxing told his son.
"Yes, Father."
"What about the situation in Changying?" Wang Fuxing asked.
"The Emperor has arrived safely. There is no further update," Wang Hao answered.
"Hopefully, the matter gets resolved soon. Enemies might appear since the Emperor is out of the Capital," Wang Fuxing said with a serious tone.
Wang Hao nodded his head. "His Majesty will surely co with a solution," he stated, with a confident tone.
~~~~~~
Yin Na wiped the mouth of Huo Jin after making him drink the tonic that was rich in herbs and would expeditiously heal his wound.
"Miss, why don't you go back to your room? I will look after the Young Master," the servant requested.
"No. I cannot leave Huo Jin's side," Yin Na answered and told him to not worry. The servant did not argue and let Yin Na be seated near the bed.
She placed her palm over his forehead and found that the temperature had reduced a little. Deep frowns on Huo Jin's forehead when Yin Na caressed it.
"Miss, at least, have your food," the servant said, after a while.
"I don't want to, Brother," Yin Na replied. "I will eat after Huo Jin wakes up."
"Miss loves the Young Master so much," the servant said with a smile.
Yin Na tilted her head and ended up smiling. "But he doesn't see it. He thinks that he is not suitable for . Brother, I can be a perfect wife, right?" She asked him.
"Of course, Miss Yin Na," the servant said.
"Huo Jin, see, everyone thinks that I can be perfect for you. I can take good care of you. Can't you just wake up? It is so sickening to see you sleepy for such a long ti," Yin Na started to converse with him.
"Miss Yin Na, give the Young Master so ti. He surely will start looking at you. Though, he already has started," the servant answered.
"Really?"
"Yes. Last night, the Young Master was angry at himself for not protecting you well. He indeed cares for Miss Yin Na, but because of his past, he is unable to accept it. His heart wants to accept you, but his mind is not allowing him to."
Yin Na was astonished to hear these words from him. No one knew about it in the Residence. "Why did the Brother not tell earlier?" She asked him.
"Miss Yin Na never asked ," the servant answered.
Yin Na pouted her lips and then looked at Huo Jin. "Just wake up quickly. Everyone is so worried," she stated.
~~~~~~~
Huo Jin's eyes showed movent in the morning. His lips quivered and his fingers moved. "W-w-water," he said in a low voice.
He winced in pain and again asked for water.
Yin Na, whose head was swinging in the air because of sleep when heard a ek voice. She opened her eyes and again heard him.
She wiped the saliva from the back of her palm and swiftly moved to him. "What happened, Huo Jin?" She asked and placed her hand over his head.
Since Yin Na was unable to hear him, she brought her ear close to his mouth. "Water," Huo Jin said, his eyes still closed.
Yin Na quickly picked up the brass bowl and poured it with water. She brought it near his mouth and asked him to open his lips. With her other hand, she lifted his head a little.
Huo Jin sipped it and then moved his lips away. Yin Na put the bowl on the small round table and wiped his lips.
"Huo Jin, how are you feeling?" She asked him while caressing his head.
Huo Jin finally opened his eyes and saw Yin Na's face. She was smiling at him and he felt extrely happy.
"Huo Jin," he heard his na from her soft lips.
Huo Jin tried to sit up when Yin Na told him to not move. "Your wound is still not healed. You already lost a lot of blood. Don't put pressure on your body," she advised him.
