At that time, Su Nuo still did not know the specific meaning behind such a thing, but only gentleness remained in her senses. She had never experienced such gentleness before, not even her mother had.

Su Nuo smiled. Thinking about it now, it was because her master was too gentle back then. That was the reason why her heart, which had been stuck for three years, was unable to free itself.

Actually, Su Nuo could not help but think that if her master had been rough with her, just like those two guards, then she definitely wouldn't have fallen in love with her master. Perhaps, she would have hated her master for the rest of her life!

However, even though she didn't understand it when she was young, she knew that that kind of gentleness was given to her elder sister. That night, her drunken master treated her as his elder sister, which was why he showed such gentleness.

When he woke up the next day, the first thing he said when he saw her was, "It's you."

Back then, he didn't understand it, but now he does.

But everything had already been destined for this night, and could not be changed, just like falling in love, just falling in love, no longer able to retreat unscathed.

However, ever since that night, the master would often ask for her, but would never be as gentle as the first night. He would even turn her face away and call out her elder sister's name when she was almost there.

When she was fourteen years old, she truly understood what it meant to be a substitute for her elder sister. She also completely understood the reason why her master had saved her all those years ago.

In fact, there were a lot of things that Su Nuo would rather not know for the rest of her life, except that everything was never what she wanted it to be.

Su Nuo turned her head to look at Bei Chen Han, a gentle and gentle smile on her face, but there was nothing she could do, it was just falling in love with her master, there was nothing she could do. Since she fell in love, then she could only continue to love him until the day he stopped loving her.

But many years later, Su Nuo was glad, glad that her feelings were completely squandered by Bei Chen Han, not a single trace was left.

It wasn't that he was old enough to love, but that love had already disappeared.

No more.

But the current Su Nuo did not know, so she turned around and wrapped her arms around Bei Chen Han, hugging him tightly.

But Su Nuo did not expect him to come even faster than she had expected.

On this day, Beichen Han went to the morning assembly as usual, and Housekeeper Zhou came to look for her. Right now, whenever Su Nuo saw Housekeeper Zhou, she would instinctively feel uneasy, but it was also uneasiness that Su Nuo would not do anything else.

Housekeeper Zhou asked Su Nuo to sit down. Ever since that day, he had spoken with Su Nuo, so his tone was much better. It was no longer as disdainful as before.

Su Nuo sat down meekly and waited.

Housekeeper Zhou said, "The person I sent to look for the Daoist has returned."

Su Nuo's breathing suddenly stopped, but she controlled herself and didn't look up. She knew that her face must be ugly right now. She didn't want Steward Zhou to see it.

"However, the Daoist character has already passed on."

When Su Nuo heard this, she suddenly raised her head to look at Housekeeper Zhou. Housekeeper Zhou didn't even look at her, and continued: "But his disciple said that before his master died, his master already knew that the Prince's illness would occur again, so he had already found a way to cure it. However, he still needs your highness to go to the Spirit Mountain."

Su Nuo didn't say anything and just quietly listened.

She knew that Housekeeper Zhou didn't tell her anything because he wanted to hear her opinion. He just wanted to tell her what to do next. Moreover, this was for her master's own good, so she had no objections.

Housekeeper Zhou looked at Su Nuo, "Su Nuo, you know that with the current situation of the Prince, he definitely won't accept the fact that he is ill, so telling him that he is sick and needs to go to the Spirit Mountain to be treated is absolutely impossible. The only solution is for you to tell the Prince about it, which also means, your task is to trick the Prince into going to the Spirit Mountain to treat him."

"But- Morning." When he thought of how his master had not gone to the imperial court for some time, even the Emperor had unceremoniously decreed that —

Housekeeper Zhou said, "Don't worry about that, I've already sent people to investigate. Spirit Mountain is in Luo He City, and right now, the city has just been flooded. If the prince took the initiative to go to Luo He City, the emperor would definitely give his approval." At this point, Housekeeper Zhou's eyes became cold: "The emperor said, now I wish I could let the prince leave as far away as possible. If I could never see him for the rest of my life, that would be even better."

Su Nuo didn't know what to say. Her heart was in pain, so she just said in a low voice, "I understand, Housekeeper Zhou."

That's right, she already knew what to do. The road ahead was clear, clear enough to make her feel uncomfortable and want to cry, but she still wanted to continue walking like this, step by step, willingly.

Housekeeper Zhou nodded, "Then hurry up. I can't delay your illness any longer. It'll be dangerous to drag it out for one more day."

Su Nuo nodded her head to show that she knew.

"When the time comes, you will follow the prince. However, in order to reduce the amount of people talking, you don't need to bring any underlings." He paused before emphasizing, "Even Little Qian can't do it."

Su Nuo only replied meekly.

"However, I will have the Umbra go with you. Remember, you have to take good care of the prince at most times, and the Umbra won't appear at normal times. After all, you have to be as small as possible and not let anyone suspect you."

Su Nuo nodded.

As expected, Bei Chen Han agreed to Su Nuo's request, and Housekeeper Zhou's speed was even faster. After Bei Chen Han and Bei Chen Yan finished talking, Housekeeper Zhou had already prepared everything.

"Fu Jin, you have to go." Little Qian pulled on Su Nuo's sleeve with teary eyes.

Su Nuo smiled and nodded.

"But Fu Jin, why didn't you bring Little Qian with you?" Little Qian's tears were about to fall.

Su Nuo said gently, "I will be back soon."

Steward Zhou had said that the journey from here to Luo He City would take half a month, so she would be able to return in a month.

Tears finally rolled down his face, and his face was filled with grievance.

Su Nuo sighed and touched Little Qian's face. This child was relying more and more on her. But when Little Qian treated her like a big sister, she always treated her like her own little sister!

However, there were many things that she was still unable to say. Thus, other than a smile, there was only a smile left on her face.

As soon as Bei Chen Han came back, the two of them set off.

At that time, she was still worried that she would not even know how to drive a horse. She and her master had always been on the road, but she did not say it out loud, after all, she was just a female slave, so whatever the people above said was true. Even if it could not be solved, it should still be solved by her own efforts.

So when Su Nuo saw the mute coachman, she was very happy.

Just like that, the three of them set off.

Su Nuo had never traveled far, and this was the first time. Thus, when the horse carriage left the city and headed towards the outskirts, Su Nuo could not help but feel a hint of anticipation.

Opening the curtain, Su Nuo saw the beautiful scene outside. It was truly beautiful. Su Nuo was so attracted by the sight that she almost fell over.

Bei Chen Han leaned over and hugged Su Nuo in his arms, whispering into her ear: "Nuo'er likes it?"

Su Nuo nodded.

Bei Chen Han lovingly hugged Su Nuo in his embrace again: "If you like her, we'll come back next time."

This sentence completely awakened Su Nuo. Come back later?

Su Nuo looked at the scenery outside. She did not know if there was a future like this for her, where she would be doted upon by her master like this, not as a substitute for her elder sister or as a female slave, but just as Su Nuo. Actually, even if she wanted to crack her brain, Su Nuo knew that such an answer was already fated, and that was — absolutely impossible.

Su Nuo turned her head back to Bei Chen Han with a gentle smile, then replied softly.

If there was no future, then she would desperately grasp onto everything in front of her. Even if it was an unsolvable poison, she would willingly drink it and be enchanted by it for her entire life.

On the way to Luo He City, the scenery was very good. When they were about to enter Luo He City, Su Nuo's heart was overwhelmed with fear, causing her to be unable to hide anywhere.

Su Nuo laid in Bei Chen Han's embrace, her two hands tightly holding onto Bei Chen Han's sleeves, saying, "Han, I'm feeling terrible, can I … … make the carriage stop." When Su Nuo said this, she did not even dare to look at Bei Chen Han.

This was the first time in her life that she had panicked because of her master, but she couldn't help it, her fear and unease was making her almost crazy. She clearly knew that bringing her master to Spirit Mountain as early as possible was also good, but once she thought about it, as long as her master went up the Spirit Mountain, it meant that she would be forgotten. It also meant that her master would no longer treat her like how she was now, and she would also forget about everything they had done in the past few days.

Bei Chen Han hugged Su Nuo and immediately had the coachman outside stop the carriage.

Su Nuo gripped Bei Chen Han's sleeves tightly and then tightly, burying her face in Bei Chen Han's embrace.

I'm sorry, she knew she was selfish and greedy, so could she wait a little longer, just a little longer, so that she could get more warmth from her master, a little bit more, so that when her master no longer looked at her and her master abandoned her, she could at least carry on walking with these memories that seemed like her master.

"Nono, why are you feeling so bad? Let me take a look." Bei Chen Han said worriedly.

Su Nuo still buried her face in his embrace, she could not let her master see her face full of tears, so Su Nuo just shook her head vigorously in his embrace, and grabbed onto Bei Chen Han's hand: "Han, it's okay, it'll be fine after a while."

Bei Chen Han heard Su Nuo's slightly hoarse voice and became even more worried, "Xiao'er, let's go to the city to see a doctor. We'll be fine after seeing a doctor."

Su Nuo immediately shook her head, and secretly wiped her tears away, revealing a smile on her face again, and said to Bei Chen Han: "There's no need to see a doctor, I'm probably a little dizzy from sitting in the carriage." He then snuck a peek at Bei Chen Han's expression and said, "Han, let's not enter the city tonight, we'll rest at an inn outside for the night, can we enter the city tomorrow?

She knew that she was greedy and wanted to stay tight while looking at her master like this. However, she truly loved her master, so she would definitely bring him to Spirit Mountain one more night.

Just one night, she used all she had, just for one night.

Beichen dotingly promised, "You can do whatever you want."

Su Nuo forced a smile, because she knew that if she did not smile like that, then, what came down would be tears.

"All of you, get off." Suddenly, a voice could be heard, interrupting Su Nuo's train of thoughts.
