After sewing Xiao Yun Chen's wounds, he changed into his usual clothes and even scattered his hair, making it seem as though he was casually reading in the inner room.

However, even though she had thought about it carefully, she had still overlooked one thing.

Smell.

Since she had no interest in spices of this time and space, there was no other lady in the room who smoked or perfumed her clothes all day long. When she was in the army, she knew that sometimes the smell was to expose her weaknesses.

But just now, she had completely ignored this point.

Xiao Yun Chen was in her room healing his wounds. She had operated on him personally and his body was already stained with the smell of blood. When she first came out, the night wind was light and the wind was not blowing in the direction of the government. However, when the guards and servants were searching the courtyard, their positions had changed. It was a simple matter for them to ask about the peculiar smell on her body.

"Are you or are you in your room? How to... How can there be such a strong smell of blood? " He could not help but have a doubtful look in his eyes.

After the initial surprise, she quickly reacted.

She frowned slightly, lifted her sleeve and sniffed lightly under her nose, "What smell? How come my daughter didn't notice? "

Then, as if she had just noticed that the injury wasn't as serious as he had said, she couldn't help but laugh and ask, "Father, no one is injured in our daughter's room. Perhaps it's because the water in the lotus pond is about to be changed …"

At the side of her courtyard was a lotus pond. Originally, it was required to draw water into the pond, but because it had not rained in a long time in the capital recently, the water level in the little river behind her house had also dropped. The water in the lotus pond had also not flowed in for a long time.

Yucheng frowned and thought deeply for a moment. Then, he realized something and said, "That's right. Let them take a look tomorrow."

After all, they were father and daughter. Yu Yu Yu was already prepared to be a feudal scholar, and would definitely avoid arousing suspicion.

By this time, the search for the guards had been completed. The head guard reported to the Minister, "Reporting to the Prime Minister, we didn't find anything out of the ordinary in the courtyard!"

Even though he knew they wouldn't find anything, he was secretly relieved.

"Got it." Yuezheng replied blandly. He looked around the yard thoughtfully, and then sighed.

Yu Yu sneered in her heart when she saw this. Her 'father' had previously completely ignored the original owner, but now he was gradually beginning to understand and feel guilty. If the original owner was here, she didn't know if he would feel more gratified or resentful.

But right now, she didn't have the leisure to be reminiscing with him.

"Father, it is already late. I believe father still needs to go to other places in the mansion to check up on him. You should also pay attention to your body, don't tire yourself out too much." These words were both affectionate and considerate. It was rare in the eyes of the public, and they also reminded the public that they had to rest early. After that, they brought their people and left the Wutong Courtyard.

As he watched the crowd leave, his shoulders sank again.

Some things look easy, but rarely think of it as a coincidence.

Fortunately, during the previous few searches, she had acted so calm and proper that it was rare for anyone to feel guilty towards her. Fortunately, after Xiao Yun Chen entered her room, she had made Xiao Lan clean up the bloodstains that he had left behind.

"Miss, it's all my fault. I didn't notice that there were still traces of blood on the walls of the East District!" After returning to the inner room, Xiao Lan knelt down on the floor with tears streaming down her face.

Looks like I'm really guilty.

"You get up first." She calmly walked past her and stood by the bed to observe Xiao Yun Chen's injuries.

Gold ointment is effective, and stitches are very successful. The worst wound in his chest was no longer bleeding. The wound was a normal deep red, without any bruises or traces of purple.

It was a good thing that the people who assassinated Xiao Yun Chen didn't use poison on his weapon.

Xiao Lan wiped away the tears on her face. She didn't listen to Flawless' words and stood up, instead kneeling to her side, raising her head and begging, "Miss, your servant has no face to ask for forgiveness, but please allow me to take care of Young Noble. When Young Noble's injuries are fully healed, your servant will take the initiative to ask for punishment!"

Her words made Yu Rui turn her face away. She revealed a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, "You little girl, when did I say I wanted to punish you?"

Xiao Lan was slightly surprised. After all, she was the spy that the Young Master had sent to the Young Master's side. Earlier, it was because she hadn't carefully checked the traces the Young Master had left behind that caused the guards in the mansion to be alerted.

It was precisely because of this that the Miss had faced such a big problem just now.

"Miss … "I …" For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Even if there isn't any blood on the wall and there are martial arts experts guarding outside, they would still make the guards suspicious. So, this matter is not your fault. Plus, this isn't the first time our courtyard has been searched."

As Xiao Lan spoke faintly, she did not hear the slightest bit of displeasure or reproach from her tone. It was only then that she knew that her young miss truly did not intend to punish her.

Seeing that Xiao Lan was still kneeling there in a daze, she faintly smiled and extended a hand to help her up. "Tonight, you will stay outside to guard. I still need to observe your young master's injuries a bit more."

That night, she almost never closed her eyes. Every time Xiao Lan went in to deliver tea and refreshments, she would see some fresh water. She would either carefully examine Xiao Yunchen's wounds or take his pulse.

With such a serious injury, even if the opponent's weapon wasn't poisoned, the number of people who had died from tetanus in time and space was not small. She had to be extra careful.

Thus, they could be considered to have passed the night peacefully.

While she was doing her best to take care of Xiao Yunchen's injuries, Zhao Yuanzhi was furiously writing a letter to his beloved daughter.

That day at the Temple of Fa Jue, although there was no need to stay in the temple to recuperate, there was still someone who needed to complete the prayer for Imperial Concubine Liu.

Zhao Yuanzhi stared at the lines written on the paper as she panted inwardly. "Qi'er, oh Qi'er, it's up to you if we can regain our power …"

Senior Servant Liu stood to the side, her face full of worry. "Madam, is this method really feasible?" If anyone finds out about this, it'll be the death penalty for bullying the Lord! "

"Don't worry. Even if someone found out, they wouldn't dare to report it to the imperial government." "Who do you think would be so bold as to try and catch the emperor's interest?"
