The old granny snorted, looked at Lin Xuecha and Su Nanxing, and then turned and left the bamboo house.

The old man added, "Seeing that little girl has some medical knowledge, I know what kind of herb can stop the bleeding. Later, I will take some medicinal ingredients and drink some juice, and then you can use your afternoon method to apply the medicine on your husband, and then bandage it well, and then rush her to change it three times in the next few days. For a few days, there won't be any big problems with the wounds on your husband's back."

Lin Xuecha stood up and nodded to the old man, "Thank you for saving my life, if there is a chance, we will definitely repay you."

The old man raised his eyebrows, then said happily, "Alright, hurry up and eat."

When the old granny went out to fry the medicine, the old man went out to drink the medicine. Only Lin Xuecha and Su Nanxing were left in the room.

Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes and chewed on the steamed bun, not knowing what to say to Su Nanxing.

Afterwards, she swallowed the steamed bun in her mouth, looked up at Su Nanxing and said, "Your Highness, Snow Tea has already explained our identities, it's just that …"

It was just that they didn't believe him.

It really had nothing to do with her.

Su Nanxing's identity was noble, and although she was not bad, she was still a lot weaker overall.

Furthermore, Su Nanxing already had a lover, and as the person he loved, naturally it was not good.

Therefore, she felt that it would be better to say it out loud.

The light in Su Nanxing's eyes darkened slightly.

He took a sip of his porridge and said, "A lone man and a woman walking together at night, behaving intimately. Other than a couple, do you think that it's any other relationship?"

Lin Xuecha casually replied, "Younger brother and sister, you should be able to do it as well."

Su Nanxing raised his eyes to look at Lin Xuecha, and his voice became even deeper.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for a few more days. If you say that we're siblings, then what do you want them to think? Do you want them to tidy up their own rooms and let you live them?

Lin Xuecha was startled for a moment, and then said, "I can lie on the table and sleep …"

"The parents of doctors, do you think that they will have the heart to watch you sleep on the table?"

"…"

Su Nanxing's face was pale white, yet the expression in her eyes was still deep and serene.

He stared into Lin Xuecha's eyes, "Why did you become even more stupid after jumping off the cliff?"

Stupid, special.

It was as if everything was wrong.

Lin Xuecha was lectured until he was stunned.

Finally, she bit her lip and said, "I understand."

Su Nanxing finished his porridge and saw that she was still chewing on the steamed bun.

His eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked, "You even know medicine?"

Lin Xuecha's movements suddenly paused.

She slowly raised her eyes and looked at the man sitting beside her. "But only a little. After all, I've been living in the monastery for ten years. If there's anything that hurts, I'll take care of it myself."

The man's eyes darted around her face.

Lin Xuecha was a little uncomfortable from his gaze, but the man said, "Hurry up and eat it, you still have to apply medicine for this king later."

Lin Xuecha nodded his head, and then heard the man say, "In the next few days, just call me master."

"Cough, cough, cough …"

Lin Xuecha suddenly choked on his bun.

She coughed to the point that her face was flushed red. She was about to retort when she saw the unquestionable look in the man's eyes.

Lin Xuecha blinked his eyes, and still said, "Isn't it rude to call her that, why not call her Young Noble instead? What does Your Highness think?"

The man's expression was very bad. He was deeply suppressed in his eyes as to what kind of emotion he had.

However, his voice was still calm and unperturbed.

"You still want to disobey This King's orders?"

Lin Xuecha was slightly startled.

She had almost forgotten that no matter how unpampered he was and how amiable he was, he was still a prince after all.

Not to mention that the completely natural and despicable aura he had on him was born from birth.

How could she dare to disobey his words and orders time and time again?!

Just now, it could be said that she had no reason to abandon him and opened her mouth to refuse due to the urgency of the matter.

It was also within reason.

Then...

And now?

It should be agreed, shouldn't it?

This way, it would be more convenient for them to heal their injuries here, right?

She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I got it."

Seeing that she had lowered her posture to obey him, the man's expression didn't only not ease down, but actually turned even worse.

The night was dark in the Imperial Palace, but within the Imperial Palace, there was still the bright azure light of the lanterns illuminating the great hall.

There was a person wearing a bright yellow robe sitting high up in the hall.

He looked down at the people kneeling on the ground with a pair of old eyes that glowed with a bright light, faintly suppressing his rage.

"What the hell is going on?!"

The person lying on the ground shivered as he spoke in a low voice.

"Chenqie only heard that that little girl, Xue Chou, and Lao Jiu went out of the city in a carriage and never returned. Marquis Anping's Wife was anxious, so Chenqie came to find the Emperor and found a way."

"Think of a way, think of a way?"

"It's already the middle of the night, yet Lao Jiu and Little Snow have not come back yet. If this single man and woman were to stay together all night, then …"

"Nonsense!"

The person sitting on the dragon throne suddenly flew into a rage as he slapped the armrest beside him and scolded.

"Do you think you don't know what character the Lao Jiu has? How could he possibly do anything to the little girl?! If he really wants to do something, do you think that he still needs to take her away?!"

The people kneeling on the ground also retaliated.

Her eyes were deep and serene as she raised her head, focusing her gaze on the person sitting on the dragon throne.

"This concubine knows all of what the emperor has said, but this concubine has already inquired about it. Lao Jiu insisted on taking Little Snow out of the city, and as for not returning to her home at night, how important would that be to a woman's good name? Could it be that Lao Jiu isn't even clear about this?"

The old emperor was calm and didn't say anything.

The woman kneeling beside the woman who had spoken earlier also spoke, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress's words are completely true. Your Highness is so intelligent and knowledgeable, how could I not understand the reasoning behind Empress's words?

Even if Snow Tea was staying at the Ninth Prince Palace, after all, Snow Tea was still a daughter who had not left the pavilion. Since she appeared at night and did not return home, when Master Hou returns, she would definitely scold me, scolding me for not being able to teach me well and not taking responsibility for it.

The old Emperor held his breath on his chest.

He sneered, "If that's really the case, then I want this Lao Jiu to marry the little girl. What can this Marquis Anping say?"

The expressions of the two women in the hall slightly changed.

The old Emperor said, "We have already sent people to investigate their whereabouts. If it really is the Lao Jiu, and we were to trick the girl out of the city and try to do anything to her, we would naturally ask for his forgiveness. But, if the truth is not as you think, then we will definitely uphold justice for the girl.

If she likes the Lao Jiu, we will bestow her to the Lao Jiu. If she likes the Crown Prince, we will bestow her to the Crown Prince.

Since I have dissolved the girl's engagement and allowed her to stay in the Ninth Prince Palace, I will take on some of the responsibilities. None of you are allowed to say another word! "

The empress's gaze was cold, with a hint of anger in it. She lowered her head however, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, please be magnanimous."

Marquis Anping's Wife knelt down and endured his rage, "Emperor is wise."

The old emperor waved his sleeves in irritation. "Get out."

The Queen and Marquis Anping's Wife stood up at the same time.

They bowed to the old Emperor, then turned around and walked out of the hall.

The relationship between the Marquis Anping's Wife and the Empress was very good.

Previously, as long as the Empress told the old Emperor, she would be able to stay in the palace.

Afterwards, perhaps the old emperor was annoyed, so he said directly, "Marquis Anping's Wife, with this freedom, you can stay and sleep within the Empress's Bedchamber."

Because of this, the Empress and the Marquis Anping's Wife were even happy for a while.

But now, he couldn't bring himself to laugh.

The two of them walked on the palace path.

Behind him were groups of eunuchs and maids.

Marquis Anping's Wife's face darkened, while the empress's expression did not change at all.

"I also don't understand why Your Highness brought Snow Tea out of the city. He clearly said …"

"What do you want him to do?" the empress asked, interrupting her words with a cold smile.

"Now, think carefully about who the person who handed you the envelope is!"

Marquis Anping's Wife's face became even more gloomy.

She had received an anonymous envelope at dusk today.

On the letter, it was written that Su Nanxing and Lin Xuecha had left the city gates with their luggage and were about to run away.

At first she was only shocked, then she felt strange.

If Su Nanxing liked Lin Xuecha, he would directly enter the palace and ask the old emperor to marry him.

There were two letters, and when she turned to the second, she found out why.

Marquis Anping would never like Su Nanxing to be his son-in-law.

That was why she begged him to become Lin Xuecha's master.

I don't know if this is true or not.

But, he felt that the love between master and disciple was indeed against Chang Lun. Su Nanxing would elope with Lin Xuecha, he could not be sure.

Only then did they enter the palace, find the empress, and discuss countermeasures.

They had already thought of what to say, but there was nothing they could do. The old emperor was wholeheartedly protecting Su Nanxing.

There was no need to say it again.

With a stomach full of anger, the empress could only laugh coldly.

She glanced at Marquis Anping's Wife, "You don't have to be so conflicted. Let's talk about it again after tonight."

"But," the Marquis Anping's Wife said with a frown, "If she passes tonight, her reputation will be completely ruined, and she will be unfavorable to the Empress …"

That's right, if Lin Xuecha's reputation was ruined, regardless of whether she was or not, she would elope with Su Nanxing.

According to the old emperor's thoughts, she would definitely marry Su Nanxing.

Then, what about the chess piece, Baili Lianer?

At this moment, the night was dark.

The awkward atmosphere in the room lasted all the way until the old man came in with a cup of herbs.

As if he didn't know anything, he opened the curtain made of sackcloth and walked to the middle between Su Nanxing and himself.
