"Yeah, so cute." The two of them sat beside a tree. Xue Ruoyun didn't have time to close the wound on her hand that had been cut by vines, so she quickly checked on the little fox's injuries. Fortunately, it only broke its leg. In the past, when she was a bodyguard, she had all kinds of training, and had a lot of experience in outdoor life. She immediately searched for some medicinal herbs in the forest and tore off a portion of her clothes to bind up the fox.

After he was done, the little thing cutely rubbed against Xue Ruyun, as if expressing its gratitude.

"Go, and don't get caught again." Xue Ruyun looked at the little fox and let it go. The little fox squeaked a few times before turning around and running into the depths of the forest.

"Miss, you are too kind." Yun Zhi sighed with heartfelt emotion. She was truly completely different from that Xue Luoyun from before.

"It came to this place by accident, just like me. Fortunately, it was only injured and was able to go home, but I am unable to go home no matter what. " When Xue Ruyun thought of what had happened to him, he said somewhat sorrowfully.

"Miss, isn't your home in the Prime Minister's Estate? Why would you say that you can't go home?" Yun Zuiyue was baffled by her words.

"No, I was just blabbering." Seeing that he had leaked the conversation, Xue Ruoyun hurriedly changed the subject.

"Forget it, let's quickly restore this trap. This trap was probably dug by the hunters at the foot of the mountain to catch some animals for the winter. We can't let them destroy it completely, we can still catch some ferocious beasts if we keep it." "Also, let's make a mark here so that we can avoid it the next time we come." Xue Luoyun said with foresight.

After returning in the evening, Xue Luoyun's mood was clearly much better. Going out for a walk could indeed release a lot of bad emotions. However, this good mood would only last for a few days, and a hidden storm was about to arrive.

Ever since the last time Xue Luoyun had caused Princess Changle to suffer a loss in the Imperial Garden, this matter had always been spread around the Imperial Palace. Because the palace door was tightly locked, the court lady had nothing to do throughout the day, so she used this matter as a topic of conversation. Soon, this matter reached the ears of the crown prince.

Ever since Xue Ruyun had given Xue Lian a slap in his face last time, although he felt disgusted with her arrogant and despotic attitude, he was secretly convinced by her eloquence and courage. He could faintly feel that this Xue Luoyun was just as he had been conveyed to her from outside the palace; he was completely different. Especially with regards to the matter of the princess, it was truly admirable that she could so cleverly avoid such a dangerous situation. In addition, after hearing about her extraordinary martial arts skills and the fact that even the Emperor was especially appreciative of her, the Crown Prince had begun to pay more attention to her in his heart.

Women's intuition was always the strongest. The crown prince's performance made Xue Lianhua feel an unprecedented threat. It was with great difficulty that he managed to make the crown prince interested in him. He could not give up so easily. The jealousy in his heart for Xue Ruyun had grown even more intense.

The disturbance that had previously plotted against Xue Ruyun had gradually passed by, and Zhao Anyi had already been sent home. No one was able to recall this matter anymore. Xue Lian began to brew another conspiracy. This time, she swore to kill Xue Ruoyun to the point where she would never be able to stand up again.

However, ever since he fell into the lake, her martial skills had suddenly become extremely powerful, and she had also made many improvements to the surroundings of her courtyard. Inside, there were all sorts of mechanisms and formations. The people of the Xue Manor did not dare to barge in without permission as well. Thinking of the bloody wound on Mrs Zhao's foot last time, Xue Lian's heart still had some lingering fear. And now that Xue Xiang knew that the emperor had taken Xue Luoyun seriously, she even turned a blind eye to it, no longer restricting her.

A person's brainpower was always limited. Although Xue Lian's mind was meticulous, at this moment, she thought of another person. She should be able to give herself some advice.

"Little sister, you have always been extremely smart. If there's nothing you can do about it, then how could I be smarter than you?" After hearing Xue Lian's instructions, Liu Xu hurriedly closed the door. Xue Shaolei smiled sweetly at Yan Yan, lightly smeared a blue spring into his mouth, and said coolly, "Quickly, clear up the situation."

"Sister, even if you don't care about me, it's on behalf of our mother. Last time, our mother was humiliated by her, and now she's taking medicine out of anger. Don't you want to take revenge for our mother?" Xue Lianshu knew that Xue Shaoli usually had nothing to do with the matter, so he tried to protect his own health. At this moment, he hurriedly moved out of the city to show Zhao Shi.

Xue Shaoli's eyes darted around as she tried to figure out what was going on. Then, she pretended to be elegant and noble, and indifferently said, "Although I am sisters with you and don't quite agree with your methods, I really have no way of affecting you. Think about it, her martial arts are so strong, we can't go head to head with her. Unless... We have those powerful people to help you, but we were born in a pavilion, how can we find these martial artists? What's more, it was too dangerous. If these people were to teach Xue Ruoyun a lesson, then she would be able to receive one. As you know, our Big Sis is as beautiful as a fairy, she's a famous beauty. If these people had evil thoughts, what would happen to our Big Sis? "Then I won't be able to live through it. No matter what, she is still our sister." Xue Shaoli frowned and pretended to be compassionate as she spoke.

When the servants around them heard this, they sighed in their hearts, "Xue Shaoli really is a kind and compassionate person."

"This …" When Xue Lian heard this, he lowered his head as if he was pondering about something.

Xue Shaolei was very satisfied with her performance. She rolled her eyes and raised her voice again, "Forget it. I advise you to train your body and take care of yourself." Oh right, it will be the Lantern Festival in a few days. This Lantern Festival is packed with people and is bustling with activity. If you go out, sister, you must bring a few more followers with you. Pay attention to your own safety and don't get separated from everyone. "

People with powerful martial arts coveted beauties ….

Xue Lian was still thinking about his own thoughts and had no clue. When he suddenly heard Xue Shaoli's words, he immediately felt enlightened.

"Yuanxiao? Right! It's the Lantern Festival. " As Xue Lian was thinking about how to deal with Xue Lao Yun, he suddenly heard Xue Shaoli mention Yuanxiao in a few days' time. Suddenly, his heart seemed to have been lit up by something and he immediately understood. She nodded in realization, as if she had understood something.

When Xue Shaoli saw her like this, her lips curled into a faint smile. She lifted her teacup, hiding the smile at the corner of her mouth.

As if he had an idea, Xue Lianshen and Xue Shaoli chatted for a while before leaving in a hurry.
