Hua Rong was startled, staring at him blankly, almost unable to react.
What did her son mean by these words? Was he warning her?
"You..."
"I still want to rest. If there's nothing else, you should go back and rest early."
"Xuan'er, what do you mean by this?" Hua Rong was angry, displeased. "Mother came specifically to see you, and you want to drive your mother away as soon as you wake up?"
"Your Highness, while you were in a coma, the Venerable Master was constantly expending his cultivation to save you."
Granny Cui quickly spoke up for Hua Rong, "Your Highness, you must know that the Venerable Master cannot casually exert his true energy right now."
"I don't need you to interfere!" Hua Rong said sternly.
Feng Ye Xuan's gaze dimmed slightly.
Hua Rong softened her tone, "Xuan'er, you've just woken up, and your body is still weak. Rest early."
"There's one more thing, Mother must remind you."
Hua Rong knew that he was still weak, having been in a coma for several days.
However, he was the chosen one, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders was not something ordinary people could bear.
His ability to withstand pressure was also definitely stronger than that of ordinary people.
"Do not think of Chu Qianli anymore. She is a woman with too many schemes, not someone you can control..."
"I never intended to control her."
"Xuan'er!"
Hua Rong's tone, unknowingly, grew heavier.
Granny Cui gently tugged at her clothes.
Hua Rong knew she had lost her composure, but she couldn't help it.
Chu Qianli, everything was Chu Qianli, always Chu Qianli!
When would her son's heart ever be free of this woman?
"It is a fact that she and Feng Qihe joined forces to injure you, Xuan'er. Mother knows you value loyalty and righteousness, but these sentiments should be reserved for those who are worthy."
"Chu Qianli is cunning and deceitful. Mother knows she chose to be with Feng Qihe not out of affection, but because she is selfish and only knows how to seek benefits for herself."
"You saw it with your own eyes, Mother is not slandering her! For her own benefit, she can be with any man. If she is willing to return to your side in the future, you must consider whether you have become more valuable to her."
Feng Ye Xuan closed his eyes.
Hua Rong's voice softened again.
"Mother knows you don't like to hear this, but you must listen!"
Since persuasion didn't work, she would try a different approach.
Hua Rong said calmly, "Mother cannot stay by your side to remind you forever. Mother... does not have much time left..."
Feng Ye Xuan's eyes snapped open, and he looked at her.
The coldness in his eyes finally showed a crack.
"I will find a way to cure you," his voice was hoarse from his days in a coma.
Hua Rong's heart rejoiced, but her face remained calm.
Her son, after all, cared about her.
As long as he thought she would die soon, he would never be able to harden his heart towards her.
She had no other bargaining chips now, only her life.
"Mother doesn't care how long she lives, only that she fears she won't be able to see you fulfill his wish."
She reached out and took her son's large hand.
Sensing Feng Ye Xuan's slight resistance, Hua Rong immediately tightened her grip, holding him even tighter.
"If you truly like Chu Qianli, Mother... will not stop you, alright? Mother has only one request: while Mother is still alive, do not do anything that betrays him."
She lowered her eyelids, the sharp coldness in her eyes flashing and disappearing.
"Anyway, Mother won't live much longer. Mother only asks that you promise not to let Chu Qianli ruin your great undertaking while Mother is still alive. As long as you fulfill his wish from back then, after Mother dies, you can be with whomever you please, and Mother will never stop you again, alright?"
