"Please, female benefactor, chop this firewood without anyone's help. Master Xuanfeng needs to use this firewood... to boil water for a bath." The small monk paused when he spoke of a bath, for he also did not understand why Master Xuanfeng would deliberately make things difficult for her.

Su Yan was mentally prepared not to meet Master Xuanfeng so easily. After all, he was someone who had refused to meet even the emperor.

She looked at the pile of firewood on the ground, but she did not expect Master Xuanfeng's request to be so strange.

"Miss." Chu Tao and Chun Xia clearly saw it too. They nervously held Su Yan's hand, afraid that she would really have to chop some firewood..

Su Yan had been pampered since she was young. Not to mention chopping firewood, she had not even poured water personally. This Master Xuanfeng was clearly making things difficult for her.

"It's fine." Su Yan comforted the two servant girls.

She walked straight to the axe that was chopping wood and weighed it with her hand. It was a little heavy but she could still accept it.

Chopping wood was better than being rejected. Su Yan was very open-minded. In this case, she had received more face than the emperor.

Su Yan tried to chop the first piece of wood as she toyed with the pain. Hmm, she did not master it well and it was crooked.

Su Yan kept trying to learn the skill of splitting wood. After a long while, she looked up and saw the two girls, Chu Tao, Chun Xia, standing not far away and looking at her with tears in their eyes.

Su Yan sighed and waved her hand to let them go back to the room. If this continued, these two girls would really cry.

Su Yan split the wood for the whole afternoon and finally finished splitting the wood. The firewood was calculated and it was just enough for Su Yan to split for the whole afternoon.

As if it was stuck, just as Su Yan finished, the little monk from before came over.

"Female benefactor, it's been hard on you. I'll have to trouble you with the firewood for Master Xuanfeng's bathwater tomorrow as well."

It was obviously his first time making things difficult. When he said these words, the little monk's face flushed red.

"Okay."

Su Yan knew that this was something she will have to do for quite a while. She glanced at the blisters on her hands and felt that it was nothing, but when she thought of the two maids at home, she probably wanted to cry again.

Su Yan walked back along the mountain path. When she reached the foot of the mountain, she saw Chu Tao and Chun Xia.

It seemed that they did not listen to her at all and went back to the room to rest. They were probably waiting for her.

When they saw Su Yan come down, Chu Tao and Chun Xia quickly went up to welcome her.

Su Yan hid her hands behind her back and saw that Chu Tao had already taken out the ointment.

Chu Tao had already expected that Su Yan's hand would definitely be injured after her first day of chopping wood.

This time, it could not be hidden anymore. Su Yan obediently handed her hand to Chu Tao.

Chu Tao and Chun Xia's eyes turned red. Su Yan had never suffered such hardship before.

Chun Xia immediately tried to persuade Su Yan to go back, but was stopped by Chu Tao. Although Chu Tao did not know why Su Yan insisted on seeing that Master Xuanfeng, she knew that miss must have an important reason for her.

Now, as maids, they could only support her from behind.

Su Yan rested for the night and rushed to Master Xuanfeng's house early the next day. Seeing that there was a little more wood than yesterday, Su Yan knew that this was her daily quota.

Without waiting for the young monk to give her instructions, Su Yan consciously picked up the axe and chopped wood.

For a few days in a row, Su Yan repeated the same thing every day.

Su Yan, who was far away in the Shen An Temple, did not know that a major incident had happened in the imperial kingdom on this day.

The old wounds on the King of Guangping's body had relapsed and he had fallen into a coma. The Emperor had sent imperial physicians over but they were unable to do anything about it.

In this life, not only had Gu Ruoyun fallen into a coma early, but he was also unable to keep it hidden from everyone.
