She knew that using her big sister as a shield was not right, and could only make her master even angrier. However, she had no other choice, she did not want her master to suddenly appear in her room while she was sleeping, and then … That was something she could not imagine.

Bei Chenghan still had a smile on his face, but his hands were tightly clenched under his sleeves. Good, very good. His pet had actually learned how to avoid him. This was great!

Bei Chen Han's chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock, and he really wanted to vent his anger, to the point where he couldn't recognize his pet anymore. He knew who was the owner, and he didn't have any freedom to act like a pet.

If her master was alive, she would live. If her master was dead, she must accompany him.

Thus, Su Nuo carried her bundle and followed Bai Qian and the others back to the palace.

Su Nuo took her bag and walked into the room and stuck it on the bed like a dog skin plaster. Only Su Nuo knew what kind of expression she should have when she saw everything, whether it was her master or sister.

Bai Qian closed the door for Su Nuo softly. She looked at Bei Chen Han apologetically: "Han, Xiao'er is still young, you won't be angry, right?"

Beichen's smile was as gentle as ever: "How could I be angry, I would never be angry at Little Qian." But his heart was churning, his pet had better not let him grab any opportunities, otherwise, he would definitely make her angry.

Su Nuo lay on the bed, tossing and turning, until she finally fell asleep in a daze.

In her dream, she saw Duke Bei Chen riding a white horse, smiling towards her, and Su Nuo stood where she was, smiling. Just that, when the Duke of Bei Chen approached Su Nuo, the whole world turned blood-red, the white horse turned blood-red, and the Duke of Bei Chen was also covered in red, with blood still flowing down non-stop.

Su Nuo screamed in fear, she wanted to rush forward to help Duke Bei Chen, but no matter what, she could not touch him. She wanted to comfort him, but the only thing that could not be stopped was the Duke Bei Chen's extremely sad and desperate face, and even his peach blossom eyes started bleeding.

Su Nuo screamed frantically not to, not to, but the blood still flowed unceasingly, Su Nuo wanted to find the source of the blood, but he could not find it anywhere, he could only watch helplessly as the Duke of Northern Chen and the white horse were slowly submerged in the blood, and then nothing was left.

Su Nuo suddenly opened her eyes and panted heavily. Only now did she realize that all of this was just a nightmare. Su Nuo let out a heavy sigh of relief as she wiped her face with her hand. Cold sweat covered her face.

However, what did this nightmare represent? Was it really just a nightmare?

Su Nuo felt uneasy for no reason. Before Su Nuo could think of anything, Whitey entered. Seeing Su Nuo awake, it was a little surprised. "Why did you wake up?"

"I woke up after having a nightmare." Su Nuo said.

Seeing the expression on Su Nuo's face, Bai Qian knew that the nightmare was definitely terrifying. He said, "Don't worry, nightmares are usually the opposite."

"Really?" Su Nuo felt as if she had found a peaceful reason to relax. Bai Qian smiled and nodded.

Su Nuo was finally relieved. If it was the opposite, then that person's words must be free from the insect poison and should be safe.

However, what Su Nuo did not know was that the Duke of Bei Chen had indeed safely dispelled the poison, but because of her, he quickly fell into an even more deadly trap. No, it should be said that even though he knew it was a trap, he still happily jumped in.

However, this time, he could not turn back. Whether it was Duke Bei Chen, Su Nuo, or Bei Chen Han, they would not be able to turn back. Everything had already gone the other way.

That night, Su Nuo was still worried. Luckily, Bei Chen Han did not come back, as if he was really busy. After Su Nuo slept soundly, Su Nuo secretly got up. If it was now, she should be able to escape!

Su Nuo carefully landed on the ground, picked up her backpack and opened the door, walking out.

In the dead of night, it was quiet and there was a hint of strangeness to it. Su Nuo looked around but there was no one in sight. She quickly walked forward as she was familiar with this place.

Suddenly, a black figure appeared in front of Su Nuo. Su Nuo was shocked. That black figure said without any expression, "Invite Miss Su back."

When Su Nuo heard this, she was no longer surprised. He knew that her master had sent someone to monitor her, which meant that she would never have the chance to escape again.

Su Nuo gritted her teeth and turned back.

Therefore, when Whitesnow woke up in the morning, he saw Su Nuo's incredibly depressed face. Whitesnow pinched her face as if to say, "Alright, stop being depressed. Big sis knows that you're bored, so I'll take you to the streets today."

When Su Nuo heard this, she could only force a smile and agree. She couldn't possibly tell her sister that it wasn't actually out of boredom!

There weren't many people on the streets today. Bai Qian held Su Nuo's hand and walked forward, "Xiao'er, what do you want?"

Su Nuo looked around and said, "There's nothing special I want." Right now, she was thinking about how to leave, but she also knew that the shadow must be somewhere.

Shadow! Su Nuo's eyes lit up. When she came, the two shadows were worried and kept in contact with her. So she asked them to bring her away.

Thinking of this, Su Nuo couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh of relief. Just as she was about to speak to Bai Qian, there was a loud bang, and Su Nuo didn't even have the time to look before she was pulled behind her. Only then did she realize that a middle-aged man had fallen to the ground not too far away.

Su Nuo's eyes widened as she stared at the man on the ground who was still coughing. The amount of blood flowing out increased, as if his heart was being torn out. As Su Nuo watched, she felt as if her heart was being viciously grabbed, unable to say a single word.

Bai Qian pulled Su Nuo back, and just as they retreated three steps, the man violently coughed again. His eyes were bloodshot and wide open. After that, he died just like that.

Su Nuo and Bai Qian's hands were tightly holding each other. Su Nuo couldn't believe that such a person had died just like that.

There were many people watching on the street. There were also many people coughing loudly, looking at the man who died with grievances on the ground.

As if she was infected, she pulled Su Nuo along as she walked back.

Upon returning to the manor, Su Nuo finally came back to her senses. She saw Bai Qian asking Housekeeper Zhou, who said, "Fu Jin, I don't know the exact details, but the rumor is that this is not just a cold, but an unknown plague."

His face was pale as he asked, "Can they be infected?"

Housekeeper Zhou was troubled: "About that, I don't know either, and there's no specific explanation."

Bai Qian did not say anything. With a solemn expression, she said, "Go and see if anyone in this mansion suffers from this disease. If they do, cancel the contract and send them out. It would be best if they didn't, but you must strictly prohibit servants from going out and contacting the outside world."

Housekeeper Zhou nodded as he hurried to carry out his orders. Su Nuo listened and smiled. It was indeed her elder sister. She was completely different from her elder sister. In fact, she was different from her elder sister by far.

"Nore." Bai Qian turned around and looked at her worriedly. "Did you guys get scared?"

Su Nuo shook her head. Although she was a little frightened, she herself had experienced so many life or death situations, so she didn't really care about Su Nuo.

However, Su Nuo felt uneasy about this mysterious man who had died in front of her. It was as if something big was about to happen.

"Elder sister, I'll go get some medicinal food." Without waiting for a reply, Su Nuo turned around and left. With a doting smile, she mumbled to herself, "Now you know how to be afraid. You really are a child."

Su Nuo turned around in the corner and walked towards the west wing. She could not write, and she had already told Shadow that she would only draw certain symbols. Su Nuo rolled up the paper, stuffed it into a bamboo stick, and let the carrier pigeon take it away.

Just as Su Nuo obediently turned around, before the pigeon could fly out of the palace, it was caught by the shadow.

Within the imperial palace, Bei Chenyan coughed forcefully and spread out his arms. The inside of his hands was filled with blood. Bei Chenyan's gaze was somewhat complicated as the head eunuch stepped forward and reported, "Your majesty, the Second Prince requests an audience."

Bei Zhen Yan frowned, and asked impatiently, "What is he doing here?"

"This son naturally came to see royal father." Even before he could finish his sentence, Bei Chen Han had already walked in. The chief eunuch was a little embarrassed, hence Bei Chen Yan ignored him. Bei Chen Han's lips were curved upwards ever since he entered, looking very much like before: "This son heard that Imperial Father wasn't feeling well, so I came to take a look." He paused, as if he had suddenly thought of something. "Your mother must be sick, too. Let the imperial physician have a look. If things get worse, things don't look so good."

Bei Chenyan smiled coldly, "It's just a chill, the Queen and I will live to a hundred years from now. There's no need to worry about Han'er."

"That's great. Father and Mother should take good care of their illness. If you need anything, you must tell me." The expression on Beichen's face became more and more joyous.

Bei Chen Yan just snorted and did not answer.

After Bei Chenhan left, Bei Chenyan looked at the eunuch as he asked, "Is there a result?"

The chief eunuch said hesitantly, "Not yet. The only thing the Grand Hospital can do is to confirm that this is not a cold. Everything else has no results."

Hearing that, Bei Chenyan slapped his hand on the table: "A bunch of useless bums." He paused for a moment before asking, "How is the situation in Beijing?"

The chief eunuch's expression grew even more cautious. "Reporting to Your Majesty, the situation isn't good. Dozens of people have already died, and in the imperial palace as well —"

Bei Chen Yan's complexion did not change, and the chief eunuch continued to speak while trembling: "The entire capital is saying that this is an unknown plague."

Hearing the word 'plague', Beichen did not utter a single word. The eunuch was kneeling on the ground, not daring to raise his head. After a long while, Beichen only waved his hand to get him to leave.
