The cicada chirped.

Late at night in the middle of summer, the cicadas hidden among the branches began to cicadas, their shrill cries piercing through the silence of the Twilight Garden. Ye Jinsu sat on the bed and changed the handkerchief for Little Red, one by one.

The temperature did not go down.

Ye Jinsu's handkerchief began to shake uncontrollably. Ning Yunyin grabbed her trembling hand and said, "Let me do it."

Ye Jinxiu suddenly raised her head to look at him. Ning Yunyin simply nodded and took out a small white jade jar from her bosom. "This is a medicine from the palace. It's used to treat external injuries. Use it on her first."

Finally, he looked at Ye Jinsu's swollen cheek, reached out to take some of it, placed it on his palm to cover the heat, and finally lightly spread it on Ye Jinsu's face.

Ning Yunyin's hand wasn't too heavy, and the injury on her face didn't hurt as much after so long. She was still very careful with her men, afraid that they would accidentally hurt her.

The candles flickered in and out of the darkness. Ning Yunyin had lowered her head to lean very close to Ye Jinsu's face in order to get a better look.

It was so close to Ye Jinsu that she could feel the aura that was gushing towards her.

His fingers gently massaged Ye Jinsu's face, and her burning face turned cool. However, this only made the existence of that hand even more apparent.

Ye Jinxiu could feel the blood in her body rushing to her head, even her ears had turned a fiendish red.

Pushing Ning Yunyin aside, Ye Jinsu took the pill from him. With a red face, she said, "Thank you."

Ning Yunyin's expression didn't change. It was as if she was really focusing on applying the medicine and had completely forgotten about the relationship between a man and a woman. He even instructed carefully, "You will have to apply the medicine on them twice sooner or later. After the wound is healed, you can continue to use it if you don't want to leave a scar."

This made Ye Jinsu feel guilty, so she could only nod calmly.

It was just that Xiao Hong's injuries were no longer as simple as external injuries. The wound had dragged on for so long that it had become infected long ago. Otherwise, the fever would not have stayed the same.

The medicine is the best medicine, applied to stop the wound from bleeding and festering. It was just that the wound was torn and the process of applying the medicine was extremely painful. Xiao Hong was unconsciously twitching on the bed.

Ye Jinsu's heart clenched as well.

After applying the good medicine, Ning Yunyin looked at Ye Jinsu and said, "I'll use my internal energy to protect her heart meridian. I won't let her die."

"After tonight, I'll bring a doctor over for her to see."

Ning Yunyin patted her head and said gently, "Don't worry."

The best doctors in the city had been invited to Qiuxiang Garden, and Ye Jinsu had hired only doctors whom Ye Zhexi did not like.

His tone was very gentle, so gentle that Ye Jinsu felt that she could trust this man. With him around, Little Red would be fine.

Ye Jinsu nodded. Suddenly, she felt a sour feeling in her nose. At this moment, he was the only one who was by her side.

Ning Yunyin quickly pinched the tip of Ye Jinsu's red nose and smiled. "Don't cry. If you want to repay my kindness, then just repay it with your body."

Ye Jinsu's tears were forced back in anger.

After using inner force to protect her heart meridian for the entire night, at dawn, Xiao Hong's fever gradually subsided.

Ye Jinxiu finally felt relieved.

"I was so afraid she was gone last night." Ye Jinxiu said in a soft voice as she looked at Xiao Hong, whose breathing had gradually calmed down.

"She's my last relative."

"We grew up together, like sisters."

"I'm afraid …"

Before she finished speaking, Ning Yunyin suddenly hugged Ye Jinsu and grabbed her hands, her fingers forming a clasp. Ye Jinsu's words came to a screeching halt before they left her mouth. She simply leaned her head against Ning Yunyin's chest.

She was afraid, she was afraid that she would live a new life, and in the end she would end up alone.

That feeling was really too bitter.

Ning Yunyin softly said, "Sleep, I'll help you watch over her."

She was too tired.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Jinxiu's breathing gradually turned heavy. Ning Yunyin raised a hand to comb through her hair. Her fingertips caressed that blush on her face that hadn't disappeared yet. Her tone was filled with unprecedented danger. "I'm sorry."

"I originally thought that you wouldn't suffer a loss."

He was too careless.

If he knew earlier on, he would have interfered even if he had to interfere in the affairs of his subjects.

Or perhaps, he should have investigated deeper and found out that Ye Jinsu was in such a dangerous situation in the House of Ye. He shouldn't have let her stay here alone. He should have taken her away.

Ye Jinxiu's eyelids did not move as she suddenly opened her mouth and gently said, "I didn't lose out."

"You should go take a look at the Qiuxiang Courtyard. The Xie Clan should still be unconscious on the bed."

Autumn Fragrance Court should have been thrown into chaos by now, and Ye Zhenzi should have been more anxious than he was. He couldn't get anything good from either side of him.

Ye Shisui did not dare to do anything to him. She had expected this long ago, so she dared to act so arrogantly. However, the matter with Xiao Hong was an accident. She should not have brought Xiao Hong to the front courtyard.

Ning Yunyin shook her head. "But you're injured."

"Even if your name is known everywhere and you know many nobles, if someone truly doesn't want you to live, they will always find a way to torture you."

Xiao Hong is an example.

Ye Jinsu opened her eyes and sat up straight. She looked at Ning Yunyin and asked, "What's the difference between the left and right?" "I was reckless and neither the Xie Clan nor my father would let me go. After a few years, they would take care of me without a sound."

"Why should I let them be?"

Ye Jinsu sneered, "All these years, if I were to live with such a nameless life, would I still be able to live until now?"

If outsiders only knew that the Ye Residence had a direct daughter, Ye Jingru, then she would have died a long time ago.

Before she was five years old, she had thoroughly understood this principle. Her own mother, that pitiful woman, had endured in this mansion for more than ten years, but in the end, she was personally killed by her husband and other women.

Ning Yunyin wanted to make Ning Xuemo hide her abilities, but the people here always bullied the weak and didn't bully the strong. She was never someone who would let herself suffer a loss.

Ning Yunyin stared at Ye Jinsu, her eyes were as deep as a crystal. Finally, she let out a sigh, "But if you do this, my heart will ache for you."

Ye Jinsu was stunned. Ning Yunyin was looking at her with a serious expression, but it was hard to tell if her expression was one of mockery or sincerity. Ye Jinsu only smiled bitterly, "To be able to make His Highness' heart ache, it's really my fortune."

"But, Your Highness Ning Wang, you're really free. Aren't you going to the morning assembly so early?"

Since Ye Shisui's wife and daughter were in such a state, it was better for them to calm down and go to court. On the other hand, Ning Yunyin kept herself company as she spent the night and the morning with Ning Xuemo.

Ning Yun pursed her lips into a smile. "It's nothing, I'm sick."

Ye Jinsu rolled her eyes. "Then please do as you please, Your Highness. I'm sleepy."

As she spoke, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep. She was truly sleepy.

After a long while, Ning Yunyin took out a thin blanket and covered her up before stealthily leaving.

This time, Ye Jin slept soundly. When he woke up, it was already late at night, and there was no one on the bed. Ye Jinsu looked around. Xiao Hong was busy in the kitchen.

Ye Jinsu hurried over. Xiao Hong's face was pale and cold sweat broke out on its forehead, but it still busied itself in the pot.

Seeing Ye Jinsu walk over, he revealed a faint smile, "Miss, you've woken up. The kitchen didn't send any food today. You must be hungry. I'll make some food for you. It'll be done soon."

Ye Jinsu grabbed Little Red's hand and looked at Little Red's back with a dark expression. Sure enough, the wound that had just scabbed over had already split open and traces of blood were flowing out.

The hand holding Little Red tightened, Ye Jinsu was angry and annoyed in her heart. He pulled Little Red's hand and pressed her onto the bed. Then, gritting his teeth, he said, "Don't move recklessly."
