"No, no!" Su Nuo waved her hands violently, as if she had seen that horrifying scene once again. It was as if the man in the middle was Ox-Head and Horse-Face, scaring her to death.

When the doctor saw this, he began to display his professional spirit. He then walked forward, wanting to help Su Nuo take a look at her pulse.

"Ah –!" Su Nuo screamed out, desperately trying to hide from the Duke of North Dawn's embrace.

The Duke of Beichen held Su Nuo tightly in his arms, and said to the doctor coldly, "Scram."

Su Nuo was still desperately trying to squeeze herself into the Duke of Northern Chen's arms, as if she wished she could hide inside his body like this.

Before the doctor could react, he was already taken out of the room by Yan Qingcheng.

"It's fine, he's already gone. Little Nuo doesn't want to see him, so we won't watch him." Duke Bei Chen gently patted Su Nuo's back to comfort her.

After a long time, she finally calmed down. Her eyes were like those of an infant's as she looked at the Duke of Beichen, as if she yearned for something, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"Little Nuo." Lord Beichen hugged her lovingly, his pair of peach blossom eyes gazed outside, but it was filled with an untouchable sadness.

What was an injury that would never recover from in a lifetime? That must be because he loved a person too much, something that even reincarnation could not forget.

It was an injury!

Su Nuo was inseparable from Duke Bei Chen. She was like a child that had not been weaned yet. As long as Lord Bei Chen stood up, Su Nuo would completely panic.

Moreover, Su Nuo's mental state was not very good, she would definitely not be able to sleep during the day, but even at night, her sleep was very shallow. As long as there was any movement in the wind or grass, she would wake up, and after that, no matter how Duke Bei Chen coaxed her, she would not close her eyes.

But luckily, although Su Nuo did not sleep much, she still ate very obediently, even though she did not eat much.

Yan Qingcheng waited outside the door with a heavy expression on her face.

Su Nuo fell asleep in Duke Bei Chen's embrace. The Duke of Bei Chen hugged her, his gentle and pained gaze falling on Su Nuo's face. He truly wished that the best in the world could be brought to this person's feet.

But ah!

Yan Qingcheng entered silently. The Northern Duke frowned, wanting to ask her to leave so as to not wake Su Nuo up.

As if she did not see it, Yan Qingcheng softly said, "Prince, tomorrow … will be the night of the full moon."

"I know." The Duke of Northern Chen spoke without any change in his tone.

An uneasy expression appeared on Su Nuo's face once again. Lord Beichen immediately patted Su Nuo's back and then made a gesture for Yan Qingcheng to get out of the room.

It was a small movement, but he couldn't deny it.

Yan Qingcheng didn't say anything, only lowering her head. Just like when she first arrived, she silently departed.

The Duke of Northern Chen tapped on it time and time again. Only with such a gentle tempo did Su Nuo's uneasy mood slowly ease up.

The Duke of Beichen's gaze was still focused and doting, with a deep love hidden within. He completely ignored Yan Qingcheng's words, or it could be said, completely ignored the purgatory tomorrow night.

"Little Nuo." The Duke of Beichen shouted softly.

Little Nono, little Nono!

Such a carefree and unrestrained manner, such a carefree game in the mortal world, had completely disappeared at this moment!

Little Nono!

That's right, what kind of feelings were hidden in that shout? Apart from the Duke of Bei Chen himself, no one else knew.

Little Nono!

As the sky slowly turned white, Su Nuo woke up in alarm, quickly searching for Duke Bei Chen. Duke Bei Chen opened his eyes and looked at Su Nuo lovingly, "Xiao Nuo is awake." The warm smile on his lips seemed to be able to dispel all the uneasiness in the world.

Su Nuo looked at him but didn't say anything.

Duke Bei Chen picked up Su Nuo, "Alright, let's get dressed first and then go eat."

Still, Su Nuo did not show any reaction, and allowed the Duke of Northern Chen to do as he pleased. His hand continued to hold tightly onto the Duke of Northern Chen's sleeve, regardless of the situation.

Beijing, King's Manor.

Bei Chenghan looked at the book in his hand, suddenly threw it on the ground, stood up and walked out.

Housekeeper Zhou was in the middle of calculating the accounts when he suddenly turned around to see Bei Chen Han standing behind him. He was shocked, but he could not show it on his face.

"Where's Su Nuo?" Beicheng Han asked coldly, his tone tinged with impatience.

He had been busy these past few days and had completely forgotten about Su Nuo. Furthermore, Bai Qian had returned, and he could see that the smile on the prince's face had never faded. Of course, this smile was in front of Bai Qian, and not everyone was blessed.

Housekeeper Zhou saw the look on his prince's face and felt conflicted. Could it be that Miss Whitesnow had returned to the Su palace two days ago and hadn't come back yet? Could it be that her prince was filled with rage again?

However, she hadn't seen him for years, so it was normal for her to stay in the Su residence!

"Your Highness, Su Nuo hasn't returned yet." Housekeeper Zhou calmly replied.

"He's not back yet." Bei Chen Han's voice was a little louder.

Housekeeper Zhou's heart quivered. It really seemed like Miss Whitesnow wasn't here. His prince had lost his balance, and now he even remembered the incident with Su Nuo.

But, Steward Zhou thought, Su Nuo's words should have come. It had been almost a month, and she still hadn't come back. Could it be …

Housekeeper Zhou carefully peeked at Bei Chen Han's face, saying: "Your highness, Su Nuo may not have the money to come back, or —"

"Can't she take it without money?" When Beichen heard this, the impatience in his voice became even stronger.

Steward Zhou had left out the rest of the information automatically. Needless to say, there would be trouble along the way. Without money, it would be hard to take even a single step.

"Prince, Su Nuo is a female slave. If the Prince doesn't say anything, she can't take it." Steward Zhou suddenly felt that Su Nuo was pitiful.

Bei Chenghan, upon hearing this, did not say a word.

Housekeeper Zhou let out a sigh of relief, thinking: "His prince must have found some conscience!"

Suddenly, Beichen spoke, "If she doesn't return within three days, she won't need to come back." With that, he shook his sleeves and left.

Housekeeper Zhou was stunned. Should he call this Su Nuo unfortunate, or his prince was too unreasonable.

Also, why would his prince say such a thing to him? Su Nuo couldn't hear it.

However, Housekeeper Zhou only dared to think this way. He didn't dare to say a single word, so he just kept quiet and did what he was told.

The sky had already started to get cold, and it was already late autumn without anyone noticing.

The Duke of Beichen held Su Nuo in his arms. This time, he was truly like a baby, unable to be separated from Su Nuo.

The wind of late autumn slowly blew over, blowing up Duke Bei Chen's long robe. The Duke of Bei Chen covered Su Nuo's body with the long robe, preventing the wind from entering his clothes.

Su Nuo's eyes did not move, but her body seemed to be moving instinctively, moving towards the Duke of Bei Zhen's embrace.

In a hidden corner, Yan Qingcheng was watching with a serious expression on her face.

As the sky darkened, Duke Bei Chen picked up Su Nuo, "Xiao Nuo, let's go eat." As he spoke, he carried Su Nuo into the hall.

The fragrant rice had already been prepared and placed on the table. It was emitting a faint white mist.

"Come, little Nino, let's eat a piece of meat." Duke Bei Chen put a piece of meat into Su Nuo's mouth, and Su Nuo started to eat it.

"Little Nuo is so obedient." The Duke of Beichen gently caressed her face, "Come, let's eat another piece." As he spoke, he placed a piece of fish into Su Nuo's mouth, but Su Nuo still obediently opened her mouth.

The stars had already scattered out and the full moon had already begun to take shape.

Duke Bei Chen fed Su Nuo and stood up to pick Su Nuo up. Su Nuo was still holding onto his clothes meekly with his face buried in his chest. He didn't notice a flash of pain in Duke Bei Chen's eyes.

Duke Bei Chen carried Su Nuo back to his room while Yan Qingcheng followed behind him, all the way until the gate closed.

"Your Highness." Yan Qingcheng still called out. It wasn't heavy, but the Duke of Beichen could still hear her.

Duke Bei Chen placed Su Nuo on the bed and gently said, "Xiao Nuo, we are here to wash our feet." As he spoke, he took off Su Nuo's shoes and placed them in the basin of water he had prepared beforehand.

The Duke of Beichen's face was very low, and the pain that was spreading all over his body was already being studied inch by inch. But when he lifted his head, the expression on his face was completely normal, and he looked at Su Nuo with the same loving and gentle gaze.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Yan Qingcheng strode forward like an arrow and pushed Su Nuo to the side.

Su Nuo did not have any preparation. Her body was pushed to the side. The Duke of Beichen held onto Su Nuo tightly, preventing her from suffering any injuries.

Bam! Without any time to spare, it could be said that at the same time, Yan Qingcheng's entire body was sent flying into the wall before heavily crashing into the ground.

Yan Qingcheng stared angrily at Su Nuo, "My prince, today is the full moon, the full moon. How can you do that?"

"Shut up." The Duke of Beichen roared.

Yan Qingcheng stood up from the ground and glared fiercely at Su Nuo. "Su Nuo, how can you be like this? How can you bear it? How can you accept it so easily?"

Yan Qingcheng sympathized with Su Nuo, so these days regardless of how much the Duke of Northern Chen doted on Su Nuo, she didn't say a single word. But today was the full moon, and was the day the Gu poison broke out.

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Duke of Beichen. With a palm strike, Yan Qingcheng had already been swept out of the door, and the wooden door was shut once again.

"Su Nuo, how could you bear it?" Yan Qingcheng's heart-tearing and lung-splitting voice rang out from outside. After that, she fell silent like a broken butterfly.

After Yan Qingcheng finished her words, she collapsed to the ground, fainting. The hidden shadow jumped out and took her away.

When Su Nuo heard those words, it was as if a small stone had been submerged in stagnant water. A glimmer appeared in her eyes as she raised her head to look at Duke Bei Chen.

Duke Bei Chen smiled at Su Nuo, "Little Nuo, don't worry, I'm fine." As he spoke, he picked Su Nuo up and placed her on the bed. Then, he squatted down to help Su Nuo dry her feet.

Su Nuo's gaze followed the movements of the Duke of Northern Chen, as if studying him.
