Lai Ran slapped the armrest and rose to leave, "No, I must bring her back!"
"Come back!" Lai Taihong shouted at his retreating figure, "Now that it has come to this, do you really want everyone to know you have awoken?"
"The Crown Prince's attendants are all skilled. You won't be able to stop them halfway. Do you also plan to follow her to the Imperial Palace? How will you explain it to the Emperor then?"
Lai Taihong pointed at his son from head to toe, "A person who has just awoken from a ten-day stupor wouldn't look as vigorous as you do now."
"Wait a few days before going out and say you've recovered. That will be more believable."
Lai Ran returned to his seat, "Father, do you think the Crown Prince won't tell the Emperor about my awakening?"
"Don't underestimate the Crown Prince for his blindness; his 'vision' is sharp." Lai Taihong paused before adding, "Since he wishes to marry Yan'er, he won't mention it for now."
