At the village at the foot of the Sunset Mountain, He Qing Peak was in the temple.

Furthermore, after a month of investigation, Wei Bai had found out that Bai Feng Ran had hidden his daughter well. On one side, he had received help from everyone to be careful in living, but on the other, he was wary of the villagers.

They even said that the children of the village had bullied their daughter, but in reality, almost no one in the village dared to touch the mother and daughter pair from Shengan.

The records were scattered and scattered, so the villagers probably didn't care too much about their own family.

The nuns of the Tranquil East Palace remembered clearly, that if there was a genius doctor who found out about it, she would definitely notice it. She also said that Miss Prime Minister's Mansion was always hidden by Bai Feng in the rear mountain bamboo courtyard, and that she had come to the temple to listen to a few teachings.

Xiao Qiran flipped through the records in his hands, there were no less than 30 people who were looking for him, and all of their statements were different, if there was an expert supporting them from behind, then it would definitely not be a Divine Doctor, but someone with overflowing authority.

But he didn't hear any wind.

At this moment, he slowly threw the book to the side. By his side, Wei Bai was already sweating like a pig: "Your Highness, if this person on the bed wasn't Young Miss …"

"If it wasn't Miss Prime Minister's Mansion, the Senior Servant who sent her into the Shengan would have recognized her a long time ago."

As he spoke, Xiao Qiran heard those words from afar when he was at the bottom of the cliff that day.

It seemed that the Madam Liu did have the intention to kill Gu Mingyan at that time, and even the mama and the servant girls looked disgusted.

There was no need to treat an imposter like that.

The more he thought about it, the more he found out about the secrets on Gu Mingyan's body.

Wei Bai's face creased. "Who knows, maybe that Prime Minister's Mansion young miss found a scapegoat for herself?"

"Shut up."

If that was the case, how could the people from National Duke's Mansion not see through her disguise?

It was clearly written in this volume that National Duke's Mansion's young master, Bai Song, had dressed up as a servant multiple times and had gone to deliver some food and clothing. Furthermore, he had even stayed a night when it was raining heavily previously, so it was likely that he had never seen this younger cousin before.

Wei Bai did not dare to make any guesses, as he heard a series of groans coming from inside the bed.

The person hiding in the blanket suddenly arched his back, curling up the blanket.

"Get out."

Xiao Qiran bellowed, and already saw two hands with force and white hands coming out from the seams of the bed.

The door was slammed shut by Wei Bai who had fled, only then did Xiao Qiran slightly lift up the blanket, and what entered her eyes were bloodshot eyes. Lying on the bed, her body's veins could almost be seen bulging, and under her thin and weak clavicle, was her open collar, which was so far away that she did not even know it.

Xiao Qiran faintly felt that something was amiss. Just as she wanted to wrap the wound in her hand up properly, she heard a sigh of relief, and she once again fell heavily onto the bed. Large amounts of snow-white skin were covered with fine, thin beads of perspiration.

As he sat on the edge of the bed and firmly pressed down on her two hands that were about to cut off their own bodies, Xiao Qiran did not use any internal energy nor did he expect that when she was physically weak, even her strength would be so gentle.

"Gu Mingyan."

Xiao Qiran called her name, bent down, and pressed a hand on her waist.

Hearing his name, Gu Mingyan struggled to move his legs, and raised his body slightly. Xiao Qiran then bent down, and when the man had already raised his hands to hold onto his shoulders, his heavy Qi smashed into Xiao Qiran's ears, setting off waves after waves.

"Pain …"

He sounded so infuriated that he seemed to be on the verge of losing his breath. He felt extremely wronged.

Half of her face was buried under Xiao Qiran's neck, "I obviously saved you …"

"It's my fault."

Lifting up his two arms in a daze, Xiao Qiran's face was gloomy, but this was the first time that someone had trembled in his embrace, and he did not know how to make a move.

His palm fell on the fragile butterfly bone and the person in his embrace seemed to be in extreme pain. With a muffled grunt, he was so shocked that he frowned and withdrew his hand. Then, one of his hands rested on the back of her neck while the other fell on her waist.

Even the sound of his voice was trembling.

"Does it still hurt?"

"Cold."

Gu Mingyan wanted to rub himself into the warm embrace and absorb the last bit of warmth.

He did not dare to use any more inner force and could only lock her tightly in his embrace. His neck was so squeezed by her that it was hurting, but he still managed to wrap her up in his embrace with a blanket. He could only watch as the fire in the charcoal brazier grew weak.

If his subordinates saw this scene, it was unknown to what extent they would be alerted.

Who the great miss of Prime Minister's Mansion was, had never been important.

As expected, the person in his embrace didn't say anything, just burrowed under the blanket, and held his neck tightly with both of his arms.

Xiao Qiran laughed and called Wei Bai in.

Both of Wei Bai's legs went soft. When Wei Bai saw the humanoid blanket on his body, he almost kneeled down.

This could be a fake, Your Highness!

There was a conspiracy!

"Your Highness …"

"Let's add more fuel to the fire. Everyone else is waiting outside the courtyard."

Xiao Qiran had already sent all the guards on the roof beams away long ago. Wei Bai still wanted to speak at this moment, but he saw Xiao Qiran slightly frown, as if he had raised his hand to pull Big Miss' Argent White wrist out from the bed.

Wei Bai fled, and added more charcoal for himself before he escaped out of the courtyard again.

Xiao Qiran dug out the person he was holding, the blood veins in her eyes had faded a little, but her loose collar was already broken by her actions just now, the bright red marks at the side of her collarbone, it was as though she had grabbed them herself.

He looked straight at her wronged face.

On the other hand, Xiao Qiran tried to speak harshly: "So what if it hurts, don't you understand?"

"And why didn't you bite?" Gu Mingyan, who had regained his senses due to the warmth, also looked up and hugged the man closer: "Or should I say, you endured it so that you could see what kind of demon I am …"

Suddenly, the man squeezed the back of Gu Mingyan's neck tightly. Gu Mingyan, who had just started to become overbearing towards him, immediately let out a stuffy groan, loosened her hand and was about to grab at his arm, but then felt the pain of the cold wind entering from the void, as if ice was being forced into her pores. She froze on the spot, and was pulled into the man's warm embrace again without a sound.

"So afraid of the cold?"

Xiao Qiran said in a somewhat teasing voice.

In his embrace, Gu Mingyan was so angry that the roots of her teeth were itching, but her body was trying its best to stay close to the heat.

"Why?"

Xiao Qiran rubbed the back of her neck until it was hot, even he felt that the fire in the house was a little too strong.

After Gu Mingyan, who had seemingly recovered from the shock, became even more soporified. However, after hearing this question, he was stunned for a moment, and said depressingly: "Because I went to the gates of hell just now, and the blood poison wanted to replace me."

Xiao Qiran's heart spasmed violently.

"Because of my inner strength?"

"That's right, it was you, your highness, the bastard who caused it."

Xiao Qiran was half apologetic, half feeling that she was very cute, so he could only coax her: "Otherwise, will you bite back?"

"I'll bite you the next time you take off your clothes." Gu Mingyan's voice became weaker and weaker, his two hands hanging by his sides: "Sharp teeth."
