Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 592: Unwilling to Die Like This!

"Don’t rush." Yan Qianyi inserted another silver needle.

After a moment, Shirley slowly opened her eyes.

A pair of blue pupils, like the sea melted by ice and snow, were tranquil and clear as a newborn, with a dazed, bewildered look.

"Shirley!" Mai Hunter exclaimed excitedly.

Hearing the familiar voice, Shirley’s gaze drifted and settled on Mai Hunter.

A faint, weak smile appeared on her lips as she murmured to herself, "So it’s true that you get to see the one you want to see one last time when you die. I die without regrets."

Mai Hunter froze, his voice choked up, "Shirley, you’re not dead, you’ll get better."

Shirley looked confused. She wasn’t dead?

She couldn’t remember what had happened...

All she remembered was losing consciousness as though she had fallen asleep, with an instant darkness enfolding her.

Now that she had regained consciousness, she thought she was dead.

Shirley’s blue eyes shifted slightly, and then she noticed Mu Yunlie and Yan Qianyi beside her.

Two unfamiliar faces, surely they weren’t Black and White Impermanence come to take her away?

Tears began to well in Shirley’s eyes, "I... I’m really not dead."

Mai Hunter introduced, "Shirley, this is Commander Mu Yunlie, and this is his wife, Madam Yan Qianyi, also a good friend and my student."

Shirley looked at Mu Yunlie with astonishment, somewhat disbelieving, "The Cold-faced Commander?"

How could he be so young and handsome?

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, speaking, "Shirley, you’re weak right now, you shouldn’t talk too much. I have a few questions for you, just nod or shake your head." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"The first question, when you were in the Morris Empire, had you already betrayed the Federation Empire?"

Shirley shook her head in haste, insisting, "My lord, I’ve answered many times, I really haven’t, I..."

"No need to elaborate now, next question," Mu Yunlie interrupted Shirley, continuing to ask, "Do you know the secret of the Military Department’s Director Shi Sheng?"

"Yes!" Shirley said excitedly, "He was in touch with Dempsey from the Morris Empire, and he was secretly trafficking arms for personal gain. I was framed because... because..."

Shirley suddenly had difficulty breathing, struggling to catch her breath, unable to continue.

Seeing this, Yan Qianyi quickly inserted another silver needle, "You’re still very weak right now, rest properly, don’t talk!"

Shirley at this moment was like a fragile porcelain doll, ready to break with a single touch.

After stabilizing Shirley’s condition, Yan Qianyi said to Mu Yunlie, "Ah Lie, let’s not question her for now. Let me treat her first, and we can talk more later."

Mu Yunlie nodded, "Alright, the answers to these two questions have confirmed my suspicions, we can discuss more after she’s better."

"My lord, I... I want to say..." Shirley’s voice was as thin as thread, even breathing seemed too much effort.

During the interrogation, she had wanted to meet the Commander herself to explain everything.

Because she didn’t trust anyone else.

Shi Sheng had good relationships within the Military Department; no one would believe her.

But her request to see the Commander had been rejected.

Now that she finally saw the Commander, she was desperate to prove her innocence and expose Shi Sheng’s lies!

"Shirley, don’t talk for now!" Mai Hunter comforted Shirley with concern, "Qianyi’s medical skills are amazing. Cooperate with her, and she can heal you. There will be plenty of time to talk with the lord later."

Yan Qianyi added, "Yes, we’ll talk when you’re better. As long as you cooperate with me, I won’t let you die."

Shirley nodded lightly.

Since the heavens had blessed her, allowing her to survive, she was determined to live well!

There were so many things left undone, so many wishes unfulfilled; she couldn’t bear to die just like that!

Yan Qianyi continued to apply the silver needles to Shirley, and soon Shirley fell asleep.

Mai Hunter asked anxiously, "Qianyi, how is she doing?"

Yan Qianyi replied with a grave expression, "Not very optimistic, it’s more serious than I thought."

"Then..."

"I can keep her alive, but to restore her to her original state, or to a normal person’s physical condition, that’s a bit difficult. However, I will do my best."

Mai Hunter breathed a sigh of relief, "As long as she survives, that’s all that matters."

Just knowing Shirley could survive, he was already immensely grateful, daring not to hope for anything else.

Yan Qianyi looked at Mu Yunlie, "Ah Lie, can we step aside for a moment? Let the teacher stay alone with Shirley for a while."

Mu Yunlie turned and walked out.

Yan Qianyi then said to Mai Hunter, "Don’t worry, I made her sleep with the needles. I’ll explain the specifics to you when I come back."

"Okay." Mai Hunter nodded, without overthinking why Yan Qianyi was avoiding him; she must have something to say to Mu Yunlie.

After all, he trusted her.

He approached the ice coffin and reached out to touch Shirley’s cheek.

Feeling the warmth of her skin, his hand trembled slightly, and his eyes reddened again...

Outside.

Yan Qianyi said, "Ah Lie, there’s something I want to discuss with you. I need to take care of Ruirui, and going to Mai Hunter’s house every day is really inconvenient, and not conducive to monitoring Shirley’s condition constantly. Is it possible..."

Before Yan Qianyi could finish speaking, Mu Yunlie smiled, "You want to take Shirley home for treatment?"

Yan Qianyi was stunned for a moment, "You figured that out!"

"Of course." Mu Yunlie was somewhat proud.

He was getting to understand his family’s little one better and better.

Yan Qianyi asked, "So, is it okay?"

"Of course it’s okay. Besides, you don’t even need to discuss it with me; that’s your home too now. Whatever you want to do, just do it, without needing my approval."

"But you’re a neat freak and don’t like having strangers in the house, so I still wanted to talk it over with you."

She had asked Ah Lie out to discuss it because she was worried he wouldn’t agree; it would have been embarrassing to refuse in front of Teacher Mai Hunter.

Mu Yunlie replied, "No problem, the house is big with many spare rooms. And since Shirley can provide important secrets, we should indeed protect her well."

Yan Qianyi took hold of Mu Yunlie’s hand and smiled sweetly, "Ah Lie, you’re really kind."

When she first met him, she thought Ah Lie was a difficult person to communicate with, and he didn’t care about personal feelings at all.

But now she realized that her husband was the easiest person to communicate with in the world and understood her the best!

After returning to the room, Yan Qianyi shared her thoughts with Mai Hunter.

"Teacher Mai Hunter, would you feel comfortable entrusting Shirley to us? We have a lab at home, and if anything emergent happens to Shirley’s body, it will be more convenient for me to respond."

"Don’t worry, of course I trust you! It’s just... will it really not be a bother to you?" Mai Hunter asked.

He was so pleased at the prospect of having Shirley taken care of by Yan Qianyi, how could he not be reassured?
