Of course, it wasn't just because he controlled Qianjigong, but more importantly, she knew that he was just cold on the surface but kindhearted. Being friends with someone like him was naturally benef..."Okay, hug." Qian Tingxuan scooped her up in his arms.

“I’ll sleep for a while and call you when I enter the city.” Xiao Yuge swallowed the salty, fishy taste that welled up in her throat, forcing it down. The taste made her stomach churn like waves, almost making her lose control, so she quietly took a pill.

“Song” Feng Yan’niao got into the carriage and saw Xiao Yuge tightly closing her eyes in Qian Tingxuan’s arms. She gently called out, only she knew that Song'er had suffered such a serious internal injury. This bumpy ride, she insisted for so long, must have worsened it again. Fortunately, Song’er was clever and changed to this place halfway, otherwise, she would be suspected by Qian Tingxuan.

Qian Tingxuan stopped her with his eyes, lowering his voice and saying, “Let her sleep.”

Windy Lady nodded slightly, and sat down opposite him. But she still looked back at Xiao Yuge with some worry, praying in her heart that he would arrive soon.

Just as if fate was playing a cruel joke, the very moment we needed clear skies, it started raining heavily. Darkness had already fallen, and the roads quickly turned into muddy quagmires. Even the carriages began to crawl along at a snail's pace.

"Stop!"

Xiao Yu Ge couldn't hold back any longer. As soon as the carriage stopped, she pulled Feng Yan Niang out and jumped down. Ignoring the heavy rain outside, they rushed straight into the nearby forest!

"Song'er!" Her sudden action left Qian Tingxuan dumbfounded. He was about to jump off the carriage and chase after her.

"My Lord, the songstress just wants to make things easier!" Fortunately, Feng Yanniang stopped him in time.

"Uh!"

Xio Yu Ge, who rushed into the forest, could no longer hold back and spat out several mouthfuls of blood!

"The host!" Feng Yannie was in a panic, she quickly grabbed her hand.

After spitting out blood, Xiao Yuge leaned weakly against her body: "Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just that the smell of blood is a bit unbearable. The road is too bumpy, and I can't hold on for long. You keep an eye on me, I have to recover my injuries by channeling my inner strength." She then took another pill and forced herself to start healing with her internal energy.

"Alright." Feng Yan's heart was racing. She kept anxiously glancing outside, afraid that too much time would pass and Qian Tingxuan would show up. At this moment, she didn't even care about herself; she threw back her cloak to shield Xiao Yuge from the rain as he worked on healing his injuries.

"Uh!"

The more anxious he was, the worse it got. Xiao Yu Ge spat out another mouthful of fresh blood!

"Master, how are you" Feng Yan'niang quickly rushed to her aid: "Why don't you let your subordinate tend to your wounds"

“No, we can’t linger here too long. It will raise his suspicion.” Xiao Yuge leaned against her and stood up, then wiped the blood from her lips with her hand and rinsed it clean with rainwater before being helped out by Feng Yanniang.

"Song'er!" Qian Tingxuan was anxiously waiting by the carriage with a paper umbrella. As soon as he saw them emerge from the forest, he hurried over and helped Xiao Yuge into his arms.

After getting into the carriage, he quickly took off his own coat and draped it over her. "It's raining so heavily outside, you shouldn't have gone without an umbrella." He held her hand, finding it icy cold. He thought it was just because of the rain, but her complexion was even paler than before. As he sniffed, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood.

"Ge'er, what's wrong with you Your face is so pale, are you hurt How did you get that metallic scent on you"

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's song, she ignored the pain in her chest. She pushed him away and leaned into Feng Yan Niang's arms. She was truly afraid that Qian Ting Xuan would see something, then she wouldn't know how to explain it.

Luckily, Feng Yianing was quick-witted and smiled, "Your Majesty, you're making Ge'er blush with your question. It's normal for young ladies to have a few days each month that aren't convenient. A bit of blood isn't unusual, is it"

Upon hearing this, Qian Tingxuan naturally understood. He coughed lightly and didn't pursue the matter further.

Xiao Yu Ge secretly let out a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Feng Jie was clever. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to deceive the shrewd Qian Ting Xuan. However, speaking of which, she found it strange. She had already come of age, and logically, she should have started menstruating by now, but it hadn't arrived yet. Could it be that something was wrong with her body

She remembered Xiao Yufu coming as early as twelve years old. At the time, she had envied her for a long time and had always looked forward to coming herself sooner, but up to now, her own menstruation still hadn't arrived. It seemed that there was a chance she had to take good care of herself.

Although the city gates were closed, with Qian Tingxuan in the carriage, it was naturally very smooth to enter the city. Qian Tingxuan insisted on sending Xiao Yuge back to Ruyi Fang, and only after her repeated urging did he return to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he left, Xiao Yuge couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed.

"樓主!"

Feng Yanniang hurriedly called up Huo Yan and helped Xiao Yu Ge into the secret room.

"Yan Niang, how did the樓主 get hurt so badly" Seeing the condition of the 樓主, Huo Yan was also very worried.

"Huoyann, I'll explain later. The host has suffered severe internal injuries and her internal energy is insufficient. Let's work together to heal her first."

"Okay."

With the help of Feng Yanniang and Huoyann, after about a stick of incense, Xiao Yuge's face finally improved. She gratefully looked at them: "Sister Feng, Protector Huo, thank you!"

"The master need not be polite. This is all my subordinate's fault. It is my subordinate who did not protect the master well! My subordinate deserves to die!" Feng Yanni knelt down and admitted her mistake.

"Sister Feng, it's not your fault. Back then, in that situation, who could have known that old man would suddenly attack me" She hadn't even reacted herself at the time, so how could she blame others.

"Master, what exactly happened" Huo Yan beside him also wanted to know the answer. If the old master knew that they hadn't protected the young master well, he would definitely blame them for their incompetence.

Feng Yian told the story, Huo Yan was also greatly shocked after hearing it. Although he didn't witness it himself, he could still imagine the terrible situation at that time. Then, he asked nervously: "Yian, did you really swallow that poison pill"

Feng Yan'ni smiled and shook her head. "No. I only ate the sugar pills that the landlord gave me."

When Xiao Yu Ge heard that Feng Yan Niang was forced to take the poison, she didn't know what color the pill was. So, she had hidden several colored sugar pills in her sleeve beforehand. She deliberately knocked over the pill in Feng Yan Niang's hand, and as expected, He Hong Xiu would definitely be suspicious. Therefore, she took advantage of the situation and deliberately gave Feng Yan Niang a red sugar pill while serving tea. The real poison was actually still in Feng Yan Niang's hand; she had only made a feigned move.

Others saw the red, but it was just a red sugar pill. Who would have dared to pry open Feng Yanniang's mouth at that moment to verify its authenticity And so, Xiao Yuge and Feng Yanniang, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, successfully swapped out the poison pill.kirt. He immediately understood and couldn't help but smile: "Silly girl, you've grown up to be a young lady.""What do you mean" Xiao Yuge frowned and looked at him. She was hurt like this, and he cou...
