Lu Xuan had been bedridden for several days, unable to leave that bed. In addition, he was always fed drugs that suppressed his physical strength, causing his once strong body to gradually weaken, and he would often cough during the day.
Qing Hong noticed that Lu Xuan had been coughing excessively over the past two days, so she took the initiative to invite a doctor. Just as the doctor arrived, Lu Xiaohan also received the news and hurried over.
He didn't blame Qinghong, instead he rewarded him and said, "Well done, take good care of the young master and go receive your reward."
Qinghong thanked Sir Shang and withdrew, pondering to himself: Since the Sect Leader holds such high regard for Young Master Lu Xuan, why would he treat him in such a way?
After the doctor finished examining his pulse, he pondered for a while before saying to Lu Xiaohan, "He has been bedridden for a long time, and his body has become somewhat weak. Additionally..."
The doctor paused for a moment and did not continue speaking.
"Why don't you say it, what else?" Urged Lu Xiaohan anxiously.
"This... I discovered that there seems to be something within his body that suppresses his physical strength. All his internal organs are stagnant, so he needs to breathe more fresh air in his daily life. I will prescribe some formulas to restore his energy and regulate his organs. This should resolve the issue."
Lu Xuan lay silently on the bed, listening to the doctor's words. Upon hearing them, a cold smile formed in his heart: "Breathing fresh air, I don't even have the freedom to leave this bed, let alone step out of the room."
"Okay, I got it. I'll make sure to let him go out more often." Upon hearing these words, a look of surprise flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes. How could that be possible?
I secretly looked at Lu Xiaohan's face and noticed that he was very serious in his expression. It didn't seem like he was just going through the motions. I couldn't help but feel puzzled. Has this guy changed his ways today?
After seeing off the doctor, Lu Xiaohan only said one sentence to him, "Tomorrow, I will accompany you outside." Then, he hurriedly left.
The following day,
"No, let go of me! What are you doing? Let me go!" Several people forcefully held down Lu Xuan's arms and legs, pressing him onto an iron wheelchair. They used wolf leather belts to firmly secure his limbs.
"This is what you call taking me out," Lu Xuan stared at Lu Xiaohan with crimson eyes.
"Not bad. I only said I would take you out, but I didn't say what method I would use," Lu Xiaohan laughed smugly from the side.
Cursing under his breath, Lu Xuan desperately thrashed his limbs, but no matter how hard he struggled, those seemingly soft belts proved to be exceptionally sturdy, rendering Lu Xuan's efforts futile.
"Alright, stop wasting your effort. Come out with Uncle," she said, pushing Lu Xuan out of the room.
As soon as he stepped out of the house, sunlight poured down, causing Lu Xuan, who hadn't seen the sun for many days, to squint his eyes slightly.
Observing silently around, I discovered that this place was very unfamiliar. I had never been here before and had no idea where exactly Lu Xiaohan had imprisoned me.
After passing through a lush green bamboo forest, a clear lotus pond came into view. The water appeared to be brought in by a mountain spring, and atop it stood a small pavilion. However, there was no exit in sight, making it impossible to escape even if one wished to.
From time to time, a few butterflies flew past Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan greedily watched the free and graceful flight of the butterflies, wanting to reach out and touch them. However, the intense sense of bondage that followed reminded him that even the freedom to reach out was a luxury.
Lu Xiaohan, who was standing behind, keenly sensed the change in Lu Xuan's mood. However, he pretended to be oblivious and considered allowing Lu Xuan to come out as his biggest concession.
Entering the small pavilion, the dishes and wine were already set on the stone table. Lu Xiaohan sat down and pulled Lu Xuan's wheelchair closer to the table. He poured two cups of wine and said, "Since you're not feeling well, just accompany Uncle for a small drink."
Having said that, they each raised their hands and clinked their glasses together. Then one of them brought their glass close to Lu Xuan's mouth and said, "Open up."
Lu Xuan simply stubbornly turned his head and said, "Let go of my hand, I can drink it myself."
"Xiao Xuan, listen to me." The hand holding the cup remained steadily by Lu Xuan's mouth.
Lu Xuan still kept his mouth tightly closed.
Anger flickered in Lu Xiaohan's eyes as he said, "Bring them here."
"What are the orders from the Sect Leader?" A dark figure descended, it was none other than Kongying.
When Lu Xuan saw the shadow, he immediately recalled the incident of being forcibly drugged. Unable to help it, his whole body began to tremble, and he couldn't help but ask, "What... what do you want to do?"
"Kong Ying, support the young master's wheelchair."
"Yes."
Lu Xiaohan picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, then firmly held onto Lu Xuan's chin, leaning in to pry open his mouth with his own, and passed the wine inside.
Lu Xuan wanted to struggle, but his limbs were restrained and the wheelchair was held steady by Kong Ying. He could only let Lu Xiaohan take action.
*Translator's Note: In this paragraph, the character is coughing and his face is red due to being forced to drink alcohol.*
*Cough cough cough.* A mouthful of alcohol was forcibly poured into him, and Lu Xuan's face turned completely red.
The empty shadow behind him stared at the lotus flowers in the pond. Whatever had just happened, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't see a thing.
"Now, are you going to obediently finish this drink on your own, or should I make you do it like earlier?" Lu Xiaohan once again held the drink in front of Lu Xuan's mouth.
Their gazes intertwined and flickered, and Lu Xuan obediently opened his mouth and drank the wine.
On the way back to the room, Lu Xiaohan suddenly bent down and whispered into Lu Xuan's ear, "Xiao Xuan, stop thinking about escaping anymore. Otherwise, I will break your legs and never let you leave me."
