If I were to live again, all I want is revenge! Besides, killing one person doesn't change anything. The sun will still rise tomorrow, and there are many others who could be emperor!” Xiao Yuge’s eye...Ye Lin Dun stopped her steps, though she couldn't see inside, she still instinctively glanced at it and whispered, "Ayi Ge, I heard something happened in the palace, is my godfather alright"

"Master seems to be seriously injured..." Ah Yi hesitated, because Master had said that some things couldn't be told to the young mistress.

"My foster father is injured How serious is it Did you call a doctor to take a look" As soon as she heard that her foster father was injured, Ye Lin panicked.

"Don't worry, miss. Master is skilled in medicine and treating his wounds inside. He should be fine soon." Ah Yi knew that Master was incredibly capable, so he wasn't worried about his injuries at all.

"That won't do, a doctor doesn't treat himself. You should still go see a real doctor." Ye Lin was still not very reassured.

“Miss, Master said no. If you have nothing else to do, please return to your room and rest. Don't disturb the master as he heals.” Ah-yi knew that inside was the master's forbidden zone. Usually, apart from him, not even the miss was allowed in, let alone a doctor!

"Well then, I'll go back to my room. If anything happens, be sure to let me know right away." Ye Lin walked a long way, but still turned back with an uneasy look on her face.

After an unknown amount of time, a weary voice finally echoed from within the room. "A-yi, come in!"

"Yes, Master!" Ah Yi obediently went inside and even closed the door behind him. He opened the secret door and went in.

"A Yi, has everything the master instructed you to prepare been ready" The National Teacher rubbed his chest, frowning secretly. Those few palms from Xiao Yu Ge had actually seriously injured him, almost exposing him.

"Master, rest assured, everything is ready, we just need one boy!"

"Trash! How is it still not found" The National Teacher listened, and instantly his eyes widened in anger. This incident also involved the wound on his body, causing him to grit his teeth in pain: One day, he would get revenge on Xiao Yuge.

"Master, please calm down! Since last time, everyone has kept their children's birth dates and eight characters very carefully, like treasures. We have no way to find out, and..."

At this point, he quickly glanced at his master before timidly saying, "Last month, that family was very insistent about capturing that girl. They insisted on bringing the matter to the authorities. Now the officials are paying attention, and our people dare not act openly."

"Trash!" The national master listened and was even more angry, slamming the teacup in his hand onto Ah Yi's face.

Ai Yi shivered and knelt on the ground: "Master, please calm down! Ai will definitely bring the people back as soon as possible!"

The National Teacher's face was gloomy as he stared at him. "I'll give you a few more days. If you still can't find it, you know the consequences!" His chilling gaze sent shivers down one's spine.

"Yes!" Ah Yi secretly wiped his sweat.

The National Master's face finally eased, then he asked again, "Has the young lady returned"

"Yes, Master, you were treating your injuries just now, so Ah Yi let the Miss go back first." Ah Yi answered truthfully.

The National Teacher frowned: “She’s been running outside a lot lately. Have you noticed anything amiss”

Ai Yi thought for a moment, then shook her head: “Lately, Miss and Dong Xue have been going out to buy things needed for the wedding, and occasionally to sweep the bamboo garden of Lord Xian Wang. The rest of the time they stay in the room embroidering wedding clothes.”

The Grand Tutor breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this: "Things outside are rather turbulent at present. If Miss goes out, we should arrange for one or two people to accompany her." He always felt that something was amiss, so he took precautions in everything.

"Yes!"

"These two days, this master will be going out on a trip. If anyone comes looking, you just say that the National Teacher is seriously ill and has gone out to seek medicine."

"Understood, Master."

Xiao Yu Ge had dream after dream, all of them depicting her falling and scattering into pieces. She also felt herself plummeting downward, as if there was an endless abyss beneath her with no end in sight. She struggled desperately, but to no avail. She felt trapped, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't escape.

"Huo Ming, it's been a whole day now, why is Xiao Ge still unconscious" Qian TingXuan held her hand tightly, seemingly sensing her fear as well.

"My lord, little sister's condition is a bit complicated..." He checked over her. The injuries on his little sister were improving but she still hadn't woken up. He didn't know why; logically speaking, she should have woken up by now.

"Things are complicated" Qian Tingxuan heard this and his heart immediately tightened: "Then I'll transfer a little more internal energy to her..."

"No!" He quickly stopped him. "Calm down, little junior sister doesn't need your internal energy right now. The injuries inside her are slowly repairing themselves, and if you give her more internal energy it will be useless."

"It's been a whole day, how can you expect me to stay calm" Qian Tingxuan felt like he was about to collapse if Xiaoge didn't wake up. He, who had always been so composed, couldn't control his emotions anymore at this moment.

“Wait a little longer, Junior Sister will be fine.” Ge’er remained unconscious for a long time, and He Ming was also a little unsure. This kind of situation was the first time he encountered it: “If Junior Sister’s consciousness is stuck somewhere, try talking to her, I’ll go and make some medicine for her.”

After He Crane's departure, Qian Tingxuan nearly collapsed, half-kneeling before the bed: "Little Ge’er, don't sleep anymore, wake up, please..." For days, he had kept watch by her side, day and night. He looked haggard and weary, with a scraggly beard, a far cry from his usual handsome appearance.

"Little song, I know you must have been very scared then. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left you here alone. I should have kept you by my side, not letting you out of my sight for a moment..."

These days, he was almost green with regret. He hadn't expected his elder brother to scheme against Little Song, and he certainly hadn't expected such a thing to happen. If he had known, he would have kept her by his side, even if she had discovered his identity.

"Little Song, you promised me, that when I returned, we would remarry. How can you go back on your word You said that any promise you make will be kept. You can't deceive me..."

He breathed in her scent over and over, but she still showed no sign of waking. He had never been this afraid before; he was terrified that she would just stay asleep forever.

He lowered his head and gently kissed her hand: "Little Ge'er, please, wake up..." A tear traced across the mask, quickly falling onto Ge'er's slender finger. That finger seemed to twitch.

"Little Song!" Qian Tingxuan clutched that hand tightly, until he saw the eyelashes like a fan tremble slightly, and his eyes slowly opened. At that moment, he was almost moved to tears with joy.

“Qian Tingxuan, you’re too loud. I can’t even get a good sleep…” Xiao Yuge looked at him weakly, her pale lips moving slightly.ssion. He had never paid this much attention to someone before, never had. She was the first and only one! Lianxin added from the side: “Your Highness usually cherishes those paintings, carefully wip...
