Seeing the huge body fall down, Shu He felt a little exhausted.

The dagger in his hand fell into the snow, and the snow melted into water, washing away 80% of the blood on the dagger.

Nanqi put away the darts and jumped into the yard, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking relaxed, as if he was a neighbor visiting.

"Your killing skills and tricky steps are quite impressive! It's just that you lack internal energy, otherwise, you wouldn't have won with such difficulty!"

Shu He ignored him and just looked at the two bodies on the ground in deep thought.

There are dead people in the front and back yards. What should we do?

She still remembered what Baili Moqing said, "The yin energy is too heavy and it's not suitable for children to live there."

Nanqi seemed to have read her mind and came over. "Do you want to stay with us? Our backyard is very clean!"

He was just worrying about how to get her to help in the kitchen next door when this opportunity came. He couldn't help but feel secretly happy, as if someone had given him a pillow when he was sleepy.

Shu He looked at him warily. Why did he feel that he had some bad intentions?

"Why are you looking at me so defensively? I mean well!"

Shu He ignored him. She didn't believe he was so kind.

Besides, she didn't want to be in the same room with that man! What if he got caught?

Most importantly, she didn't want Xiao Yi'er to get too close to him! Who knew if that damn "bloodline power" would make Xiao Yi'er or that man notice something was wrong?

Seeing that she still ignored him, Nanqi said again, "I bought all the herbs you wrote about."

Shu He paused. He was using those herbs to restrain her!

However, she did need those herbs.

"Those herbs are only good enough for Madam Wang, right? As for the rest, if you want them, you can't take them for free, right?"

Shu He glared at him. This kid is definitely not a fool!

That’s right, how could there be anyone stupid enough to be a guard beside Baili Moqing?

Nanqi returned to Anheju, dealt with the body in the yard, and cleaned up the bloodstains.

After cleaning up, he tiptoed back to the outer room of the master bedroom.

Just as I was about to lie down, a voice from the inner room rang out, "You're back."

Nan Qi was slightly stunned and quickly came to Baili Moqing's bed. "Master, you are still awake?"

Baili Moqing coughed twice.

"Master, are you okay?"

The nights in Yuan City are so cold, and I wonder if my master can endure it when he returns to Beisha City. Why is Beiji taking so long to find a miracle doctor?

Baili Moqing gathered the quilt and asked, "Who is this person?"

"Master, don't worry. They're not coming for us. They're coming for Lady He next door."

Nanqi told him everything that had just happened.

Baili Moqing was a little surprised that someone came specifically to kill her, and he was from Kyoto.

Who is she? What secrets does she carry?

He felt more and more that there was a mystery about this Lady He.

"Let Xizhu investigate the origins of these people and the person behind them."

"I understand, master." Nanqi agreed.

Baili Moqing was about to go to sleep, but when he saw Nanqi hadn't left, he knew he had something else to do. "What's the matter? Tell me."

Nanqi's face showed a bit of shyness and embarrassment.

"Master, I saw that Lady He is quite good at making medicinal food, and there was blood in the front yard next door. Didn't you say before that it was too bloody and not suitable for children to live in?"

"So, I'm thinking, why don't we let Madam He bring Xiao Yi'er to live with us? That way, she can help you make some medicinal food to recuperate, and we can take care of the poor little kid."

After Nanqi finished speaking, he saw his master's eyes, which were calm yet seemed full of murderous intent.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck, thinking, "Is the master angry? But didn't he also let the mother and daughter come over yesterday? Could it be..."

Nanqi paused, a hint of doubt rising in his heart, "Master, you, are you afraid that Madam He will be angry with you?"

"Nanqi, you are becoming more and more out of control!"

Baili Moqing's light words instantly bent Nanqi's knees.

"Master, please forgive me, this subordinate, this subordinate..."

Nanqi was extremely frightened at this time.

Yes, ever since the master couldn't stand up, he didn't like to talk anymore, and he didn't like to get angry anymore. As time went on, he even became a little carried away and dared to act like the master's master!

Baili Moqing glanced at Nanqi, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Now that my legs are broken, even my mind has become sensitive.

"Get up."

Nanqi secretly glanced at his master's face and saw that he didn't look angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, master!"

Just when Nan Qi thought that this matter would end in nothing, Baili Moqing's voice rang out again, "Don't let her get close to here, or the study!"

"Ok?"

Nanqi's face showed joy. Did the master agree?

He knew that for Xiao Yier's sake, the master would not be so cruel to refuse!

"Yes, Master!"

"Also, I won't eat anything she cooks!!"

Nanqi was stunned again. Why did his master's words sound like they contained a hint of resentment?

Is it an illusion?

The next morning, Baili Moqing was awakened by a burst of fragrance.

Nanqi helped him wash up, and inadvertently noticed that there was a bruise on the corner of Nanqi's right eye.

He frowned slightly, "Nanqi, were your eyes injured by those assassins yesterday?"

Is there anyone among those bandits who can hurt Nanqi?

He has such great skills, but he was sent to kill a woman?

Nanqi subconsciously covered his eyes, a hint of anger and shame on his face. "No, it's not..."

"No? What's going on?"

Nanqi was annoyed and his fists kept tightening. His memory had to go back to last night again.

At that time, Shu He agreed to help in the kitchen. When he was about to come back, she stopped him.

He thought she had something else to say, so he wasn't on guard. As soon as he turned around, the woman punched him in the eye, causing him so much pain that he could barely stand up straight!

"She attacked me by surprise!" Nanqi was furious, as if he had lost face! "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been hurt by her!"

Baili Moqing was speechless. However, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth. He sighed in his heart, this kid, finally has someone to deal with him!

"Your mouth is too sharp!"

If he were fighting with someone and was in a tense mood, and someone was nagging at him, he would probably deal with the talkative person first!

"Sir, it's time for breakfast."

Uncle Zhang prepared breakfast and asked Baili Moqing to go out.

A stack of steamed meat, a stack of spring rolls, a stack of flower cakes, a bowl of rice porridge, and a bowl of "green vegetable porridge".

There is a faint scent of grass in the air, mixed with a hint of salty aroma, which stimulates one's appetite.

He thought it seemed to be coming from the bowl of "vegetable porridge".

Baili Moqing tasted the "vegetable porridge".

The rice is cooked until soft and melts in your mouth, without the sticky feeling of ordinary porridge. It is very refreshing to eat.

After eating, he felt as if a warm current was rising in his body, which lasted for a long time, and it seemed that his spirits were lifted a little.

"Today's porridge is a little special."

Baili Moqing picked up the jade spoon and prepared to take another bite, but then he heard Zhang Bo say, "My lord, this porridge was made by Lady He. She added several medicinal herbs to it, saying it can nourish and strengthen the body. She made a lot, and everyone got a portion. I thought it was good, so I took the liberty of serving you one as well."

The jade spoon stopped at his lips, and his ears turned red when he thought of the promise he made last night.
