and Ding Hua had disappeared.An Xuetang didn't know what everyone else was thinking. At this time, she rode her beloved steed back to Ling Shui Village.She deliberately chose a path that didn't go thr...Yun Liu and Eleven didn't say much. After Fu'er had calmed down a bit, the two took her back to the courtyard where she was originally kept.

As soon as Yun Liu returned to the yard gate, he saw Ning'er waiting there. His brows furrowed; in his heart, he had thought that Ning'er still held some sisterly affection for Fu'er.

After all, they grew up together. Though they weren't related by blood, they had spent so many years together.

He thought that when Ning'er saw Fu'er in such a sorry state, she would say something. Unexpectedly, Ning'er just glanced at Fu'er faintly, taking her embarrassment into view, but she didn't show anything.

Both Yunliu and Eleven were somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting this attitude from Ning'er.

Fu'er saw Ning'er and was as if she had seen a savior. She said weakly, "Ning'er, please take a look at me quickly. The King of Beijang forced me to drink the Falling Child Pill just now. I'm afraid there might be something wrong with the baby in my belly. Ning'er, please check it for me quickly."

Ning'er's thoughtful gaze fell on Fu'er's abdomen, but she said nothing. She then turned to Yunliu, "I have something to tell you. You should attend to her first, and I'll be waiting here for you."

When Yunliu heard that Ning'er had taken the initiative to look for him, his heart soared. He didn't care about anything else at that moment. He immediately grabbed Fu'er's arm and dragged her into the yard, regardless of how she struggled.

At this moment, Fu'er couldn't believe Ning'er's indifference towards her. She thought Ning'er knew this child was related to their valley master's life, and she would find a way to protect the baby in her womb.

...she couldn't have expected Ning'er to be so cold. So, she bit her lip, trying to say a few words to Ning'er, "Ning'er, you..."

Without letting Fu'er finish her words, Yunliu impatiently interrupted her, "What are you Can't you use your own medical skills Treat yourself, why bother Ning'er"

"!"

Eleven was stifling a laugh. His sixth brother seemed to have learned the way their prince protected his wife, not bad at all.

......

Yunliu, after reporting to their prince as instructed, rushed out of the courtyard. After a circle of inspection, she finally found Ninger's figure under a tree not far away.

He quickened his pace, "Ning'er, what do you want to tell me"

"As for Fu'er, perhaps the child in her belly could truly be of help to our valley master's illness."

Yun Liu raised an eyebrow. "Ning'er, you believe her Just because she grew up with you"

I don't trust her, for just now I saw something in the Valley Master's room with the Princess that left me utterly astonished.

“......”

Seeing Ning'er speak with such seriousness, Yunliu lost his joking mood and immediately asked, "What happened"

"Our guild leader has made a move."

"!"

Yunliu's eyes widened in surprise. "What"

Ning'er remained impassive, nodding slightly. "You heard correctly. The valley master's finger did move. Just don't spread word of this, understand Besides me, the princess didn't notice anything."

"That's because the Princess cares too much about our Valley Master. Before things are certain, don't let her know about this. The Princess has spent a lot of energy these days treating the Valley Master. If she knew that Fu'er's child in her womb could greatly affect her own body, she would disregard her health and continue to research the Valley Master day and night."

Because she understood the Queen's mind well enough, she chose to keep it from her.

Yunliu also came to his senses at this moment, knowing the princess cared about Fengming's body. He also agreed with Ning'er's actions.

After a moment of silence, Yunliu spoke, "Ninger, you told me this to let me find an opportunity to inform the King And also to make sure we don't harm the child Fu'er carries"

"Well, I think it's wise to leave the child in her womb for now. We don't yet know what effect the baby will have on our Valley Master's condition."

Yunliu hummed in acknowledgment, “I understand. Your Highness didn't intend to secretly execute Fu’er and her unborn child. What he gave her just now wasn't a poison at all. Even if he truly wanted to harm Fu’er, he would definitely seek the Princess Consort’s permission first.”

Ning'er nodded, "Well then, that's all I have to say. I'll be going back now."

After she finished speaking, she turned to leave. Yunliu was reluctant and before Ning'er could even take a step, he had already reached out and grabbed her arm.

"..."

Ning'er tensed up, she pursed her lips, then pretended to look at Yunliu nonchalantly, "Anything else"

Yunliu cleared her throat, "Well...that is, Ning'er, are you hungry"

"I'm not hungry."

"Is there something urgent"

"No."

"Then, would you accompany me to grab some food on the street"

"...." Ning'er thought he was going to say something, but when he made this request, she stared at him with a look of disdain. "I'm busy."

As soon as those words left his mouth, Ning'er immediately withdrew her hand and slowly walked towards Jingtang Garden.

Yunliu didn't stay to talk this time. A satisfied smile played on his lips until he could no longer see Ning'er's figure. Then, he looked back at his palm with a chuckle.

Eleven had been watching the interaction between Yunliu and Ning'er this whole time. Seeing Yunliu grinning foolishly like an idiot, Eleven finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He slowly walked out, "Sixth Brother"

Yunliu ignored him. Eleven narrowed his eyes slightly and then nudged his arm with his elbow, "Sixth Brother, what are you smiling about Ning'er has already rejected your proposal, and you're still smiling"

Yun Liu regained her composure and shot him a withering glance. "What do you know You don't understand, Ning Er didn't let go of my hand at first. She actually didn't let go right away, you don't know how much progress that is."

“......”

Eleven glanced at him silently, her sixth brother had truly gone mad.

Ultimately, Eleven let out a deep sigh and then turned away, she couldn't bear to watch her brother like this anymore.

......

After Mo Yunjing returned to Jingtang Courtyard, An Xuetang hurried out of Feng Ming's room. Back in her room, she quickly gave Mo Yunjing an embarrassed giggle and said, "I... I just chatted with my brother for a bit too long, Ajing, don't blame me."

She hadn't forgotten what Mo Yunjing had told her before he left, asking her to go back to the house and rest.

But Fu'er appeared today, so she just chatted with Fengming for a while. She didn't expect Mo Yunjing to come back so soon.

To say I'm not feeling guilty right now would be a lie.

Mò Yúnjǐng curled the corner of her lips into a smile, "Sit down and rest first."

As he spoke, he walked over to the writing desk and methodically began putting away the books he hadn't had time to tidy up before leaving this morning.

An Xue Tang did not obediently sit down and rest, but walked to the bedside. Today, she hadn't allowed anyone to touch this bed, so as soon as she got closer, she saw the wrinkles on the bedding.

At that moment, she didn't know what was going on. Suddenly, her mind flashed back to last night with Mo Yunjing...ctually persuaded by Mo Yunjing's words.She chuckled softly, “If that were all it took to wake my brother.”Her older brother sleeps for an awfully long time.Feeling An Xue Tang's low spirits, Mo Yun J...
