Lin Yue let go of his hand, he kept coughing up blood, his expression was very painful, his body was covered in blood, and he looked very embarrassed.

Xia Nian squatted down and was stunned when she saw his expression.

What was that look? Resentment, powerlessness and regret intertwined together, making his originally handsome face somewhat distorted.

"Lin Yue, what happened?" Xia Nian thought for only a second and was about to reach out to help him. Considering that he was Meng Yin's savior, she couldn't just leave him alone.

Lin Yue shook his head. He felt that Xia Nian was helping him up with great effort, but he had no strength in his feet and his whole body almost leaned on Xia Nian.

There were tears in his eyes. His master wanted him to die.

"Can you stand steadily?" Xia Nian asked again.

He still shook his head. Xia Nian had no choice but to drag and support him as they walked towards Yiqing's residence.

Lin Yue glanced at her profile. Xia Nian was biting her lip, exerting all her strength.

He suddenly felt dazed and mistook Xia Nian for someone else. He muttered to himself, "Liu Yi, you actually saved me."

Xia Nian didn't hear the name he said clearly, she just thought he was lamenting her behavior. After all, she had questioned Lin Yue before in Xiahou, Ziyang City.

"Nonsense, you are the one who saved Yinyin, would I just leave you alone?" She said harshly, as if she had heard some joke.

Lin Yue suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not the one he was thinking of. He lowered his head, focused his attention on his legs, and tried not to let Xia Nian get too tired.

Suddenly, Xia Nian felt relaxed. She looked up in confusion and found that it was Xia Hou Yu!

He carried Lin Yue on his back and didn't look at her, but Xia Nian felt that his back looked lonely and cold.

Has he been following her all the time? Xia Nian couldn't help but wonder.

Lin Yue's coughing brought her back to her senses. Xiahou Yu was already carrying him forward. She caught up with him and said, "Take him back to Yi Mansion. It's closer here."

"Okay." Xiahou Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and Xia Nian's heart trembled when he heard it.

She clenched her hands and followed Xia Houyu.

Soon they arrived at Yiqing's mansion. Xiahou Yu carried him into his room and put him down.

Xia Nian had already gone to look for Tao Tao. She guessed that Tao Tao should be in Yi Qing's study, so she knocked on the door a few times and shouted, "Taozi! Someone is hurt!"

Tao Tao, who was being held in Yiqing's arms and feeling ashamed and angry, was stunned for a second, and immediately said, "Niannian? I'll be right there!"

After saying that, she pushed Yiqing away and ran outside.

Yiqing curled his lips and secretly vowed to make Tao Tao compensate him.

When she opened the door, Tao Tao was shocked by the blood stains on Xia Nian's body.

She was wearing a white dress, and the dirty red color looked obvious and strange against the moonlight.

She said in a trembling voice: "Nian Nian, are you hurt?"

Xia Nian shook her head, grabbed her hand and ran to Xia Hou Yu's room.

The two met Xu Zheng and Pei Xuanxi on the road. They looked at each other and immediately followed them.

In the room, Xiahou Yu leaned on the table, staring blankly at Lin Yue who was vomiting blood.

Xia Nian and Tao Tao suddenly came into the room, and he didn't even look back.

Tao Tao was shocked by the scene before her. She had never encountered such a situation before:

Lin Yue was lying on the couch with his eyes closed. Blood kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth and he kept coughing. It looked like he was about to vomit out all his internal organs.

She ran forward and checked Lin Yue's eyes, mouth and nose.

"It seems like he's been poisoned, but I don't know what the poison is." Tao Tao said anxiously, turning to everyone.

"Why don't we go call a doctor?" Xu Zheng asked.

Since Yiqing seldom stayed in this mansion, there was no doctor arranged. Usually, Tao Tao was there, so they didn't think too much about it.

"I'll arrange someone to look for him." Yi Qing said. As soon as he turned around, he saw a man appear at the door.

"No need." A clear male voice sounded, and the man walked in.

Pei Xuanxi raised his eyebrows. He knew who the voice belonged to as soon as he heard it.

The moment he approached, they could finally see him clearly.

It’s Su Xun!

"Su Xun, why are you here?" Xu Zheng asked in surprise.

They hadn't seen him for a long time and didn't expect him to show up in Yi Mansion so timely.

Su Xun walked up to Lin Yue and squatted down, but turned his head to look at Xu Zheng.

There was a hint of smile and longing in his eyes, which made him, who was originally a little conceited, more gentle.

"I've been watching you," he said.

Xu Zheng frowned: "Ah? What is that?"

Pei Xuanxi suddenly put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. Xu Zheng looked at him with innocent eyes.

Pei Xuanxi smiled, a perfect smile, indicating that he had no bad thoughts.

Su Xun glanced at Pei Xuanxi beside her, said nothing, then turned around and began to check Lin Yue.

After just one look, his brows immediately furrowed.

"There are still people who use this poison now!" he said in surprise, and reached out to press a few of his acupoints. Miraculously, Lin Yue stopped vomiting blood.

"So awesome!" Tao Tao folded her arms across her chest and looked at him admiringly.

Yi Qing pinched her neck with a little dissatisfaction. Tao Tao turned her head and looked at him in confusion. Seeing that he looked unconvinced, Tao Tao reluctantly took his arm.

Yi Qing was slightly stunned, and felt a sense of comfort and security in his heart.

Su Xun stood up and said, "You all go out first. Master Yi, can you arrange two people for me?"

Yiqing nodded, pulled Tao Tao out before she could speak, and arranged for two servants to help him.

Tao Tao glanced inside and said, "Yiqing, what's wrong with you? I still want to learn some skills from the miracle doctor."

"No." Yi Qing said immediately, "He is poisoned. It is best not to get close to him. You will have nightmares at night."

Tao Tao was speechless for a moment. How could she have a nightmare because of this? When she saw Yi Qing's slightly red ears, she seemed to react.

Is Yiqing jealous? She chuckled and reached out to pinch his cheek, "Qing, why are you acting like a child?"

Yi Qing was about to explode when Xu Zheng stepped forward and hooked Tao Tao's shoulders: "Taozi, when you guys are showing your affection, can you please consider the feelings of us single guys?"

Tao Tao smiled helplessly and followed her gaze to see Xia Nian, only to see her sitting under the porch with her hair a little messy. The breeze blew, covering her face from time to time.

Somehow, she, who used to love cleanliness, had not changed out of her dirty clothes. She just sat there quietly, with an indescribable broken beauty, as if she would be blown away by the wind in the next second.

Tao Tao walked up to her and looked at her worriedly: "Nian Nian, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Nian slowly raised his eyes and glanced around, but did not see the figure.

She looked a little dazed, and seemed to mutter to herself: "Where are the others?"

"Who?" Tao Tao looked around and asked tentatively, "Are you talking about Master Xiahou? He seems to be gone."

Xia Nian lowered her eyes and pursed her lips unconsciously: "Are you gone?"

Seeing her like this, Tao Tao felt a little worried: "Nian Nian, did something happen between you and Master Xiahou?"

Xia Nian shook his head, stood up, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm a little tired, I'll go back first."

Xu Zheng walked forward and looked at Xia Nian's ecstatic back with Tao Tao.

"What's wrong with Nian Nian? She looks distraught." Xu Zheng said.

Tao Tao shook her head: "I don't know either. It would be great if Yinyin was here, she would definitely know."

"Yinyin is probably still with Gu Ling." Xu Zheng said.

-

When she returned to the house, Xia Nian was surprised to find that someone had already prepared hot water for her.

She thought about it and guessed that it was the maid in the mansion who put it there. Because of Tao Tao, Yiqing asked A Shuo to buy back a lot of slaves.

She took off her clothes and the fatigue in her mind, leaned back in the wooden barrel, closed her eyes weakly, and exhaled slowly.

Somehow, as soon as she closed her eyes, Xiahou Yu's lonely figure appeared in her mind, making her heart tremble.

She really likes him.

But it is precisely because of this that she cannot give Xiahou Yu an uncertain future.

She hugged her knees helplessly, tears quietly falling.

This was the second time she cried today. She had never thought before that she would cry because of a man.

"Oh, Xia Nian, you are such an idiot." She looked at the water surface and reached out to pick up the scoop beside her, wiping her skin again and again, almost fiercely.

This is how she stays calm and rational.
