Even though she did not know it, she could guess that her little sister, who was born as a concubine, hated her to the core.

After Shen Yuangrong left, Shen Yuxi stared at the top of the bed, lost in thought.

Dr. Lin came to see her once, told her to take the medicine on time, and said she was doing well.

When nightfall arrived, Shen Yuxi chased the Dreamcast Pearl out of her room. During the quiet night, she could feel the true feelings of her being alive, and she could clearly remember those blood feuds …

A muffled sound came from outside the door, interrupting Shen Yuxi's train of thoughts. She was taken aback, and tried to get up, but stopped in her tracks.

Her heartbeat gradually slowed down. She pursed her lips, listening to what was going on outside. However, she was disappointed to find that it was strangely quiet outside.

She was currently injured, so she shouldn't act rashly. It was just that she didn't know what had happened to the Nightmare Bead guarding outside the door.

A strange smell wafted into the room. Shen Yuxi covered her nose and mouth in silence. She wanted to see who was doing this!

At this moment, the room door was slowly pushed open, and the sound of light footsteps could be heard.

Shen Yuanxi closed her eyes as she thought about who it was that had come here so late at night and even lit a incense stick …

The man didn't say anything. He walked into the bed curtain, and just as Shen Yuxi was about to open her eyes and take a look at him, he noticed her abnormality and quickly pressed down on her sleeping area.

As soon as Shen Yuxi's eyes opened, she lost consciousness. The figure that she saw in the moonlight just before she fell asleep caused great waves to surge in her heart.

Wasn't that the arrogant, powerful, doted upon eighth prince Xiao Yi in the capital?

The eighth prince was Xiao Yi, only sixteen years old. He was the youngest prince of the Great Yan Kingdom.

Three years ago, because of his "youth and ignorance", he had prevented this arrogant and monstrous prince from abducting a singing prostitute.

From then on, Shen Yuanxi and Xiao Yi had formed an irreconcilable enmity between them.

But now … What was he doing in his room?

Was he here to mock me?

But, although he was often against her, he wouldn't come to her room in the middle of the night to laugh at her, right?

Moreover, to mock him, he shouldn't have let him smell the incense and ordered him to sleep in his own cave...

The eighth prince Xiao Yi was the eighth son of the current emperor. He was arrogant and had great power, but he loved to go against himself.

In his previous life, he was like this. Before he married Gongsun Yu, this marriage could be said to be hindered by him in many ways.

Even if she married Gongsun Yu, it would still be extremely troublesome.

Some difficult things were always thrown to Gongsun Yu, so that Gongsun Yu almost day late return.

However, even when he was not busy, he would often go out. Thinking about it now, it should be to date Shen Yuan Rong.

If it weren't for the fact that his father had helped Gongsun Yu after his father's death, and that Xiao Yi had been sent away by the Emperor that time, Gongsun Yu wouldn't have been able to hold the position of the king even after his father's death.

And himself …

Having been killed by Gongsun Yu, Xiao Yi had no idea how Gongsun Yu would react if he came back with the news.

After all, she was his enemy whom he had to gnash his teeth over and over every time they met.

In his previous life, he had wanted to marry Gongsun Yu and have a happy and loving life with him. Thus, he was furious about Xiao Yi's actions.

Now that she thought about it, she didn't know whether to thank Xiao Yi for stopping her or to piss off him.

These thoughts only flashed through Shen Yuanxi's mind for an instant before she lost consciousness. She naturally had no idea why Xiao Yi had come here.

When she woke up again, it was already the second day.

Shen Yuxi turned to look at the empty room, and for a moment, she panicked. "Dreamball!" she called out.

"Miss, you're awake?" Upon hearing the call, Dreamball immediately pushed open the door and walked in.

Shen Yuxi looked at Dreamball and asked, "Dreamball, did anything unusual happen last night?"

"No, it was just that this servant was extremely tired and fell asleep against the wall. Miss, what happened?" Nightmare Pearl shook her head.

Upon hearing that, Shen Yuxi was slightly relieved. "Nothing, I'm just asking you."

Strange, why did Xiao Yi come here?

After some thought, Shen Yuanxi still couldn't figure out why Xiao Yi had come here. In the end, however, she decided against it.

However, there were no major problems with the ten slabs. After waking up, she was able to walk.

Now that she could walk, Shen Yuxi could walk slowly in the yard with the support of Dreamball. This way, she could recover faster.

Before Shen Yuxi could calm herself down, someone came knocking on her door.

"Eldest Miss, Second Aunt said to visit your injuries." Cui Er walked in from outside the courtyard. She slightly bowed her body and softly said.

Shen Yuanxi stared at Cui'er. At that moment, her anger was like a hatred that surged up to the heavens as she clenched her fists tightly.

She did not understand why Cui Er would betray her like that.

Why would she do that? He had always treated her well, so how could she have the heart to betray him?

If she had anything that was difficult to say, she should tell him …

The hatred in Shen Yuxi's eyes intimidated Cui'er, causing her to tremble with fear. However, she managed to remain calm.

He had been disguising himself well, so the young miss probably didn't notice, "Eldest Miss?"

"Please come in." Shen Yuxi snapped out of her daze. She pursed her lips, still unable to keep her composure. She was still not patient enough.

Cui'er took another look at Shen Yuxi, and when she realized that there was no hatred in her eyes, and that she was only weak for a moment, she relaxed.

Just now, she must have been seeing things. How could the young miss have noticed anything amiss when she was talking to him sweetly all day long?

With this thought in mind, Cui'er turned around and walked out to invite Second Aunt in.

Second Aunt was Shen Yuan Rong's aunt. She was currently the concubine in charge of the household, and was also the most favored concubine after her mother died!

His mother had personally died two years ago, so Second Aunt had jumped on to please the young woman and took control of the steward.

He had only taken in two concubines in his life. One was his cousin from his grandmother's family, and the other was this Second Aunt.

However, the aunt was very obedient. She did not fight for favors and did not cause trouble. With her grandmother's care, she did not lack food.

And her own daughter, the third lady, was later married into a minor official wife.

Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, Shen Yuxi raised her head and looked towards the gate. The hatred in her eyes had long since disappeared.

"Eldest Miss, why did you come out? The wound hasn't completely healed yet, so take care of yourself. " As soon as Second Aunt entered the courtyard, she hurried over to the other side of the Dreamball Hall to support her sister. Her voice was full of worry.

However, Shen Yuxi could see a trace of hatred in the depths of her eyes.

Shen Yuxi smiled and shook her head. "It's fine, Second Aunt. I feel much better now."

Second Madame froze, a hint of stiffness on her face. In the past, when she was so concerned about this vile child, she was grateful to the point of tears.

But now, how did he become so calm?

Before she could finish her sentence, Shen Yuxi spoke up again. "It's hard for aunty to worry about me. I'm ashamed …"
