With one hand she heals, and the other hand she kills, the princess vows to rule the world!

Perhaps it was because of the heavy wind and snow, Xiaoduo never came back after returning to the general's mansion that day.

Shu He and Xiao Yi'er had a rare few peaceful days these past few days. Besides giving Xiao Yi'er acupuncture and boiling medicine every day, she loved preparing all kinds of delicious food for her, most of the ingredients coming from Zhang Bo and Nan Qi next door.

After a few days of recuperation, Xiao Yier's internal injuries have almost healed, her face has gained weight, and her voice has become mellow and powerful.

"Mom, there's a monster!!"

Xiao Yi'er's soft and sweet voice rang out, accompanied by the sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps approaching from outside the kitchen. Shu He wiped his hands and hurried out to greet her, with a worried look on his face, "What's wrong, Xiao Yi'er?"

As soon as Yi'er saw her, she rushed towards her legs and buried her whole face between her knees. "There's a monster! It's a very beautiful monster! It can fly, but it can't fly no matter what! Mommy, go and take a look!"

Shu He was puzzled. "Monster? Or a very beautiful monster?"

"Yes, yes, mother, come quickly!" Xiao Yier's hands were red and a little more fleshy. She pulled Shu He's dress and pulled her to the secret place she had discovered.

Shu He smiled, thinking that the little hand was so cute, and all the emotions in her heart turned into a soft ocean.

As she arrived at the door of the woodshed next door, Xiao Yier stood at the doorway, looking around, feeling both scared and curious. She whispered, "Mother, there's a big monster right here. It's so beautiful! But it's a little fierce!"

At this time, Shu He had already guessed what the "monster" Yi'er was talking about was.

She picked up Yi'er and walked into the woodshed. A red-backed pheasant was tied to the leg of a table in the corner. Nanqi had just brought it that morning, and she hadn't had time to deal with it yet. In another world, this kind of pheasant is a nationally protected species. Ordinary people, let alone eating it, would be sentenced to years in prison if they even touched a feather! But in this world, the mountains were full of them.

"Don't be afraid, Yi'er. This is not a monster. It's called a white-crowned pheasant, a kind of bird. Don't you think its feathers are beautiful?" Shu He wanted to catch it and let Yi'er touch it, but she seemed to be a little afraid of animals with sharp beaks, and she was so scared that she kept burrowing into her arms.

"No, no, I'm scared, scared!"

"Okay, okay, let's not touch each other, but just watch from a distance, okay?" Shu He held her and walked away a little, and Xiao Yier dared to stick her head out.

"Mother, why did you catch it? Where did it come from?"

"It looks so pitiful, mother, why are you tying it up?"

"Will it hurt?"

……

Shu He felt somewhat helpless as he lowered his head to look at her. Xiao Yi'er's face had grown flesh, no longer covered in skin like it had been a few days ago, and her eyes seemed much brighter. However, there seemed to be a sense of sadness in her eyes as she stared at Chang Wei Zhi. He wondered if she was seeing through Chang Wei Zhi the abused self she had suffered before.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked Nanqi to kill it before bringing it to me. I probably won't be able to eat this pheasant today. Fortunately, there are still some left from what he gave me yesterday.

"How about we put it away?"

Sure enough, when she heard what she said, Xiao Yier's eyes brightened up a little more, and a smile appeared on her face, "Okay, okay, mother, let it play with me in the yard?"

Shu He frowned slightly. In the yard? I'm afraid it's going to fly away.

Later, Shu He wanted to tie one of the long-tailed chick's feet with a cloth and tie it to the yard, but Xiao Yier refused and told her not to, saying that if it wanted to fly, then let it fly away.

Shu He agreed, but to her surprise, the red-backed long-tailed hen didn't actually fly away. Instead, it wandered around the front yard like a domesticated hen, looking like a protagonist. When Xiao Yi'er approached, it didn't hide, but instead preferred to perch on the back of her feet and close its eyes for a nap.

Xiao Yier smiled and gently touched its feathers, and was no longer afraid of it.

Shu He was very surprised by this. She even doubted the knowledge she had learned in another world. The books there said that this long-tailed fish was most afraid of people. No one could get close to it. Only a super high-magnification camera could capture it.

But come to think of it, they are two different worlds after all. There they are protected species, while here they are authentic pheasants running all over the mountains, so I imagine their personalities would be different.

"Xiao Yi'er, it's time to eat."

Shu He called Xiao Yi'er, who was playing with Changwei Zhi in the yard, to the kitchen. On the kitchen table was a delicious, milky soup. The broth was milky white with a light layer of oil floating on top. The addition of some aromatic herbs gave the soup a refreshing aroma. Xiao Yi'er's eyes lit up, her eyes glued to the bowl of soup, unable to move away.

"Mom, this is the soup that Yi'er likes!"

Shu He smiled and filled her bowl with soup. "Yes, it's Yier's favorite soup. Mother also added some medicinal herbs. This way, Yier will get better soon!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yi'er nodded heavily, "Yier will grow tall and protect mother!"

Shu He smiled warmly, and a breeze blew the aroma of soup from the kitchen into the air.

Nanqi, who had just come down from the tree, stood under the tree in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Uncle Zhang called out to him, "Nanqi, it's time to eat!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Nanqi brushed past him, took something from the house and went to the next room.

Xiao Yier was sipping her soup, and Shu He was about to eat when they saw the door darken and the light in the room dimmed instantly.

"Southern?"

Shu He looked at the visitor in surprise. He usually came to deliver things to her in the morning and didn't show up at other times. Why was he here today...

"elder brother!!"

“It’s my brother!!”

Xiao Yier also saw the person coming and immediately ran towards him. Before he could respond, she hugged his calf, her face full of excitement. "It's the brother from my dream! Mother, this is the brother Yier saw in her dream. There was also an immortal brother in my dream!!"

Shu He understood. Xiao Yier still believed that what happened that night was a dream, which was why she was so excited when she saw Nanqi again.

Nanqi's body stiffened slightly, then he picked up Xiao Yi'er. "So Xiao Yi'er still remembers her brother!"

"Of course I remember! But I don't know where to find my brother. I think he is just a person in my dream."

"What are you doing here?" Shu He frowned. She didn't want Xiao Yier to have any contact with the people over there. She wanted to take Xiao Yier away secretly after the snow melted. In this way, Yier wouldn't have to meet Baili Moqing.

Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee that the magical "power of blood" would not make Xiao Yier dependent on the man or develop any other emotions towards him.

"I'm here to bring some pastries to Xiao Yier. I remember she liked them very much that night." Nanqi ignored her dissatisfaction and took out the pastries from his arms.

"It's cake!!" Xiao Yier's eyes brightened, perhaps because this was the first time she had eaten a relatively normal and rare sweet food since she grew up, so she loved the osmanthus cake very much.

Seeing Yi'er pick it up and eat it, Shu He glared at Nan Qi. Serving dessert during a meal, wouldn't that ruin his appetite?!

"Yier, although the cakes are delicious, you can't eat too much. Come on, drink the soup first."

"Mom, Yi'er has already had a bowl of soup. Can Yi'er have some cakes?"

Shu He wanted to refuse, but seeing her pitiful eyes, she couldn't bring herself to do it. "Okay, then you can only eat one, and then eat some rice. That way, Yi'er can grow taller, okay?"

"Okay!" Yier responded sweetly.

Nanqi glanced at the bowl of fragrant soup and coughed twice, "Is this pheasant soup?"

Shu He glared at him unhappily, angry that he came at an inopportune time, "Yeah, what for?!"

"Look at you, you made so much soup and couldn't finish it. It's really a waste! How about this, I'll take it to Uncle Zhang and the others so you don't waste the pheasant I worked so hard to hunt!"

After saying that, he put Xiao Yier on the edge of the table, picked up the big bowl of soup and turned to leave without waiting for Shu He's consent.

Shu He was stunned, with a piece of chicken still on her chopsticks. Watching the bowl of soup disappear in front of her, she stood up and chased after him. Nan Qi's tall body just happened to climb over the wall.

A loud voice called out from the other side of the courtyard wall, "Uncle Zhang, come and have some soup!"
