, ma'am. The doctor said this medicine has to be drunk while it's hot for it to work.""It's fine, I can drink it later." Xiao Yu Ge was still very resistant. This medicine smelled bitter, wouldn't it...After much coaxing, Qian Si Chen finally managed to appease Xiao Yu Fu and personally sent her back to the Xiangfu. He planned to go straight back but ended up at Xiao Yu Ge's courtyard by some stroke of fate. He just happened to see Qing Luo holding a cloak and tiptoeing under the trees.

Originally, Xiao Yuge was asleep on the lounge chair under the Acacia tree.

"Your Highness!" Qing Luo raised her head and saw Qian Si Chen, hurriedly bowing in greeting.

"Shh!" Qian Sichin motioned for her to be quiet, took the cloak from her hand, and walked softly towards the tree. Qing Luo also wisely retreated.

A gust of wind blew, and the acacia flowers on the trees fell like feathers. Xiao Yu Ge, in a pink and white light gauze dress, was surrounded by petals but remained unaware, still fast asleep. Her peaceful and beautiful sleeping face, like a fairy who had fallen to earth, captivated Qian Si Chen's gaze.

He carefully draped the cloak over her, his movements as gentle as a feather, afraid of waking her. Then he sat quietly beside her, staring at her in silence. All his attention had always been on Xiao Yu Fu, but he had never noticed before how the once mischievous and willful wild girl had grown up, becoming so beautiful and captivating.

A blossom of rhododendron playfully landed on her nose. In her sleep, she instinctively wrinkled her nose, and Qian Si Chen hurriedly reached out to remove it. However, he accidentally brushed against her lips. The soft touch spread through her limbs in an instant, a strange feeling that seemed about to burst from his chest, scaring him with its strangeness.

Suddenly, her entire being seemed to become uneasy. Her brow furrowed slowly, and even her hands clutched at her cloak tightly, as if she had just experienced a terrible nightmare!

"Sing! Sing!"

Qian Si chen caught her shoulders, eager to wake her up.

"No! No!"

Xiao Yu Ge woke up in terror, waving her hands wildly. At Qian Si Chen's call, she jolted awake from her dream. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Qian Si Chen, her first reaction was to kill him!

"Ge'er, don't be afraid! It was just a dream!" Thankfully, Qian Si Chen immediately pulled her into his arms.

Xiao Yu Ge leaned against his embrace, slowly calming down. Just now, she had dreamed of the scenes from her death in her previous life, the piercing pain that went straight to her bones. Even in a dream, it still made her tremble uncontrollably. The enemy was right in front of her, but she couldn't kill him. She hated it so much! Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Ge'er, what did you dream about You look like you've been sweating so much." Qian Sichin said as he gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with his sleeve.

“I don’t quite remember, it just felt very scary…” Xiao Yuge shook her head, pushed him away, and stood up: “Brother Sichin, it’s getting late, you should go back. It’s not safe on the road late at night.” She was afraid that if she looked at him for one more second, she wouldn’t be able to control herself and kill him. She wasn’t concerned about him at all; she just didn’t want him to die so easily.

"Song..." For some reason, Qian Si Chen suddenly wanted to stay and accompany her a little longer.

Xiao Yu Ge looked back at him and gave him a slight smile: "Si Chen gege, see you tomorrow!"

See you tomorrow.

Thousand thoughts were lost in his heart as he left dejectedly. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but glance back. In just a single look, his legs felt like they were nailed to the spot, unable to move forward.

Under the rhododendron trees, she stood like a fairy amidst the fluttering petals raining down. The playful flower petals landed unintentionally on her fair hands. She lowered her head and gently blew them away, gazing at the flying petals, a captivating smile played upon her lips...

She seemed to blend seamlessly into the sea of flowers, like a perfectly integrated poem-turned-painting.

"Your Highness, we should be going back," Ling Tian reminded her. Only then did Qian Si Chen come back to herself and dejectedly turn away. However, the beautiful scene she had just witnessed remained firmly imprinted in her mind.

Only when the departing footsteps echoed behind her did Xiao Yu Ge retract all her smiles, even her gaze turned cold and terrifying. The dream scene was exactly like the moment she died in her previous life, that kind of pain, even in a dream, made her tremble: Qian Si Chen, one day, she would make him taste all the pain she had endured in her past life!

It was night, and despite Qingluo's dissuasion, she quietly slipped out of the mansion with her injuries, heading straight for Qianjigong. Sure enough, Ye Wuhuan immediately scolded her for breaking their appointment, almost ready to attack, until he saw her wounds, then he let her go.

"Little girl, you're a true lovesick fool. For one man, you'd even give up your life." Ye Wuhuan's words didn't sound like praise or criticism.

Xiao Yuge let out a cold snort: "I didn't expect the master of Qianjige to be gossiping."

Ye Wuhuan, jolted by his own slip of the tongue, hastily coughed twice to cover it up. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "You're so badly injured, can you still perform acupuncture"

"Don't worry, my aim has always been accurate!" Xiao Yuge said as she took out a row of silver needles.

The process went very smoothly.

As she departed, Ye Wuhuan lay languidly on the bed, propping her face with a hand as if effortlessly calm. "Little girl," she said, "tomorrow will be the third time. If it's ineffective, I'll kill you directly. If it works, I'll keep my promise. However, you're seriously injured now. Can you still endure that bone-wrenching pain"

"I can!" Xiao Yu Ge almost blurted it out.

A simple and powerful answer refreshed Ye Wuhuan's perception of her once again. She suddenly felt curious about the girl in front of her. At an age that should be innocent and carefree, what kind of experiences could have made this young girl so unbreakable

"Escort her back safely in the night." As soon as Xiao Yuge left, Ye Wuhuan instructed Mingye to follow her. He gave himself a good reason: he didn't want her to miss their appointment again tomorrow.

"Yes!"

The next morning, Qian Si Chen appeared at the Prime Minister's residence. This time, however, he wasn't looking for Xiao Yu Fu, but specifically Xiao Yu Ge. He had barely slept all night, the scene replaying in his mind endlessly. Finally, when dawn broke, he took leave from his father and hurried to the Prime Minister's residence, eager to have a good talk with Xiao Yu Ge.

However, Xiao Yuge didn't want to see him at all. She was going to Qianjigé tonight, so she had a lot of things to prepare and no time to deal with him. Therefore, she let Qingluo refuse him, saying that she wasn't feeling well and her wound hurt badly, so she didn't want to see anyone.

Outside the closed door, Qian Si Chen's heart sank. He couldn't understand why the person who usually obeyed him so willingly had suddenly changed like a different person. He wondered if she was angry with him

"Brother Sichen!" Xiao Yufu heard that Qian Sichin came to the mansion early in the morning, and she thought he was looking for her, so after dressing up carefully, she ran out.hrough her limbs in an instant, a strange feeling that seemed about to burst from his chest, scaring him with its strangeness.Suddenly, her entire being seemed to become uneasy. Her brow furrowed slow...
