After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Xia Nian smiled faintly and reached out to touch his cheek. Xia Houyu lowered his head, his brows trembling slightly.

"Are you really not angry anymore?" Xia Nian asked.

"I'm not angry anymore." Xiahou Yu affirmed.

Xia Nian pinched his cheek and said, "Originally, the birth control pill incident was my fault."

"But the medicine has no harmful effects on my health, and I only take a small amount. Is someone exaggerating?"

Xiahou Yu nodded and said, "I have already sent people to capture that doctor."

Xia Nian said: "No wonder, I was wondering why you suddenly knew about the contraceptive pill."

Xiahou Yu said: "Even so, you can't take too much of that medicine, even if we have less sex."

Xia Nian said: "So...are you sure?"

After a long silence, Xiahou Yu nodded heavily.

Xia Nian burst out laughing, and seeing Xia Houyu's serious expression, she said, "Just be moderate, it's not a big deal."

The maid brought the medicine, Xiahou Yu helped Xia Nian sit up on the bed, took the medicine and stirred it.

"As long as it's bad for you, I won't do it." Xiahou Yu said, "Last night, I interrogated Qin Hanlin and Zhao Qiuzhu."

He stretched out a spoon, handed it to Xia Nian's mouth, and told her the results of the interrogation while feeding her.

Xia Nian said: "I also heard Zhao Qiuzhu say that when I was in the palace. He was too careless at the time and thought that I would never be able to escape."

Xiahou Yu said in a deep voice: "I raided his house a few years ago, but missed him. I didn't expect him to change his surname and disfigure himself, and go work for the richest man in Anrun City."

Xia Nian asked: "How did you deal with it?"

Xiahou Yu put down the bowl, wiped her lips with a handkerchief, and brought water with honey, saying, "I personally led people to raid the Qin family in Qinglong City last night. In addition, I sent Xiao Xian and Ma Zhong to raid the Qin family in Xiyang and the Liang family in Anrun City."

"Were Qin Hanlin and Zhao Qiuzhu killed?" Xia Nian asked.

Xiahou Yu shook his head and said, "They are being tortured in prison. If you say to kill them, you can kill them now."

Seeing that Xia Nian's face finally showed some color, he raised the corners of his mouth: "Anyway, they are bound to die."

Xia Nian said, "You arrived last night. Did Xijiang take your route?"

Xiahou Yu said, "No, after Gu Ling and I received Yi Qing's whistle, we knew that Xijiang had taken their route. Gu Ling told me that you were missing, so I rushed back as fast as I could."

He leaned over and hugged Xia Nian, rubbing against her chest like a spoiled child: "Ah Nian, I was scared to death at that time. On the night of the Toad Palace Festival, I didn't wait for you in the mansion, so I took people to the ambush point in advance."

He raised his head, his eyes flickering, so pitiful: "I won't be willful anymore, if it wasn't for me..."

Xia Nian comforted: "It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

Xiahou Yu shook his head, bit his lip and lowered his head. Xia Nian pinched his chin and smiled, "Okay, I also regret hiding those things from you. Take me to see the culprit who made me like this?"

Seeing that he was still frowning, Xia Nian waved for him to come closer.

Xiahou Yu blinked his watery eyes, and just as he lowered his head, Xia Nian came close to him.

The warm lips seemed to soothe him.

Xiahou Yu lowered his eyes and saw Xia Nian's trembling eyelashes, and his heart suddenly softened.

After a long time, the two separated. Xia Nian looked normal, except that the tips of his ears were a little red.

She smiled and said, "Okay, take me to see those two people."

Xiahou Yu tidied her clothes, took out her cloak and tied it on her, then squatted down and put her shoes on.

Xia Nian touched the fluff on the edge of the hat hanging on his shoulders and asked, "When did you get this cloak?"

"Winter is coming, so we have to prepare these things in advance." Xiahou Yu picked her up and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to just give her the death penalty? I'm afraid they'll disgust you."

Xia Nian said: "They tried their best to harm me, but in the end they ended up like this, while I am fine."

She grabbed Xiahou Yu's hair hanging in front of her and shook it.

"I am not a kind person, I must laugh at you."

Xiahou Yu muttered: "He's been injured so badly, how can he be fine?"

It was very quiet outside, with only some servants and maids working.

Xia Nian looked around and asked, "Are Yinyin and the others okay?"

Xiahou Yu said: "They are resting. This time it is all thanks to Miss Meng and the others."

Xia Nian whispered, "Yinyin and the others must be worried sick, let them have a good rest."

The weather was cold. Xia Nian was carried to the carriage by Xiahou Yu, who held her tightly throughout the journey, not letting her feel any wind. However, Xia Nian always felt a little chill in her heart, and could not warm up no matter what she did.

"They are imprisoned in the dungeon of Zhan Yue Pavilion." Xiahou Yu said.

Xia Nian nodded slightly, suddenly remembered something, bent down to pull up her skirt, and looked at her calves.

Although the traces of being entangled by the vines have been reduced a lot, they are particularly obvious on the white legs.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yu reached out and pulled down her skirt, saying, "That vine is very poisonous, An Nian, you've suffered. Fortunately, the poison didn't penetrate your body."

Xia Nian was still frightened and said, "I just wanted to give it a try at that time, but luckily it worked."

Xiahou Yu hugged her tightly, seemingly not wanting to mention her suffering, but Xia Nian told him everything that happened in the woods.

Xiahou Yu hugged him tighter and kept saying that it was all his fault for being careless and willful.

Xia Nian said, "I'm going to die!" Xia Hou Yu loosened his grip slightly.

"Now my hands are also covered in blood." Xia Nian sighed, and suddenly laughed, "I am no longer the simple Xia Nian before."

Xia Houyu looked at her and was about to speak, but Xia Nian said, "Not really, I have never been innocent before."

Xiahou Yu said, "Nothing, they deserved to die. I caught them all without missing a single one."

Xia Nian nodded slightly. She didn't feel any psychological pressure.

As they were talking, they soon arrived at Zhan Yue Pavilion. Xiahou Yu did not let Xia Nian take a step and carried her out of the carriage.

Arriving at the dungeon, Xia Nian saw Qin's father and mother lying motionless on the straw.

Their bodies were covered with bloody holes. Xia Nian frowned slightly and asked, "Who are they?"

Xiahou Yu said: "Qin Hanlin's parents were poisoned by a poisonous insect."

Xia Nian understood: "Yinyin and the others have been here."

She was deeply moved, and the two of them were still the same as before, standing up for her and Tao Tao no matter what grievances they suffered.

Walking in, Xia Nian saw Zhao Qiuzhu hanging unconscious.

"Zhao Qiuzhu." Xia Nian looked at him indifferently, with a faint smile on his face, as if mocking him.

Zhao Qiuzhu was not unconscious, but was tortured by the poisonous insects to the point that he could not close his eyes and could only hold on. When he heard the sound, he looked up suddenly and saw Xia Nian, who was being held tightly in Xia Houyu's arms.

"Long time no see." Xia Nian said.

Zhao Qiuzhu twitched the corners of his mouth, without the strength to speak, and just glanced at Xiahou Yu's face.

Xiahou Yu sneered and said sarcastically, "Zhao Qiuzhu, I have sent people to look for you for several years, but I didn't expect that you would become someone else's son and become such a ghost? You are really a disaster star, whoever you get involved with will die. You have lived for so long, it's time to go on the road."

Zhao Qiuzhu moved his cracked lips, and bloody saliva spurted out, but he could not utter a word and could only make a humming sound.

Xia Nian said: "The poisonous insects from the Soul Devouring Hall are quite useful."

Xiahou Yu was unconvinced and said, "How can there be a sword commander like me?"

Xia Nian glanced at the petty man with a reproachful look and pinched his chin to signal him to turn around.

Turning around, Xia Nian lowered his eyes and looked at the semi-conscious Qin Hanlin.

She kept coughing and hugged Mo'er beside her.

Seeing Xia Nian safe and sound in Xia Houyu's arms, Qin Hanlin raised the corners of his mouth and then lowered them, with some relief in his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry."

Xia Nian's heart was calm, and he said, "Qin Hanlin, is it worth it for you to do this?"

Qin Hanlin said: "I have no choice, otherwise the Qin family..."

"The result now is that he was copied. Why do you think Xiahou Yu will compromise?" Xia Nian said.

Qin Hanlin said: "I really have no choice, I'm sorry."

Xia Nian asked: "How come there isn't any?"
