"Ah?" Lin Xuejian was a little stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Yu Yan reacted, he turned his face away awkwardly and lowered his head so that no one could see his expression.

He was very upset. What was wrong with him? What was he unhappy about? He was also very annoyed that she hadn't given him the dried apricots.

Was she unwilling? Because it was a gift from Yao San? Wasn't she willing to give everything to herself? The more Yu Yan thought about it, the darker her eyes became. He was indeed a little liar.

"You should have told me you like dried apricots!"

The next moment, Lin Xuejian offered all the dried apricots. She bent over, tilted her head, and put her face close to Yu Yan, trying to see his expression clearly. "What else do you like to eat? I'll find a way to give it to you~"

Yu Yan: ...

He really regretted asking for the dried apricots.

They walked and stopped along the way, and it would take at most three days to reach Jiangnan. Lin Xuejian had become accustomed to coming to the end of the team to look for Yu Yan every day.

Until this day, when they passed by a shady place covered by big trees, the emperor ordered them to rest for an hour before setting off again.

She excitedly went to find Yu Yan with the flower wine given by Concubine Yu. She wondered if he liked it?

But after searching for several times, she still couldn't find Yu Yan, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Excuse me, have you seen Yu Yan?"

"My dear sisters, have you seen Yu Yan?"

She was so anxious that she asked everywhere, but everyone shook their heads. Just when she didn't know what to do, she saw the eunuchs who had bullied Yu Yan.

Looking at them whispering with smiles on their faces, she was almost certain that it must be them who did it!

She just couldn't understand why they, who were also unfortunate people, would treat and humiliate Yu Yan like this!

"What did you do to Yu Yan! Where is he now!" Lin Xuejian stepped forward to block their way. They were stunned at first, and then exchanged glances with each other.

"We've never seen him before~"

"Ouch~ Could it be that he escaped during the chaos~ This is a capital crime~"

Lin Xuejian didn't want to argue with them because of their sarcastic and mean nature, nor did she dare to complain rashly. What if Yu Yan really ran away on his own?

Although she didn't believe he was such a person, she decided to look for him herself first, and then ask Yu Zhaoyi for help if that didn't work.

She walked around and finally found him by a small river. He was soaked and lying on the shore, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

She was so frightened that she almost lost her soul and ran over with weak legs and hands.

Fortunately, I still have energy.

Yu Yan closed his eyes tightly, his pale lips looked extremely weak, his wet clothes were tightly stuck to his thin chest, and his black hair was scattered messily on both sides of his shoulders.

As she took off her coat and wiped the water off his body, she thought, what kind of story is this of a fairy in distress? Those eunuchs really had the guts to do that to this face.

When Yu Yan woke up, the team had already left. Fortunately, they were not too far away, so if he hurried, he should be able to catch up.

He had to catch up before anyone found out, otherwise it would be a serious crime and he would be beaten with a stick. Lin Xuejian asked him, "Can you walk?"

Yu Yan didn't answer, but it was obvious that she had no strength. She wanted to reach out to help him, but then she thought that he probably didn't like others touching him, so she hesitated.

Didn't want to touch him? Oh, did she see the wound on his chest? It was definitely scarier than the one on his arm. She was right to be scared...

Yu Yan calmly gathered his clothes to cover a large scar. He even despised this dilapidated body.

"Yu Yan, are you willing to let me touch you?" she asked cautiously, seeking his opinion.

He was stunned for a moment. What did this mean? Wasn't she afraid of him?

Looking into her pure eyes, which were free of any disdain or calculation, Yu Yan couldn't help but nodded.

She supported him and chased him all the way forward. The sun was shining brightly and her clothes were half dry. She was finally about to catch up and could vaguely see the end of the team.

Seeing her wipe the sweat from her forehead, Yu Yan withdrew his arm from her shoulder.

"I'll walk the rest of the way by myself." He thought it would be bad if someone saw him and gossiped about him.

Although she didn't care about her reputation and they were often made fun of, he just didn't want anyone to talk about her because of him for no reason.

As if she understood his thoughts, she didn't say much, but just stayed quietly beside him, walking slowly.

After catching up with the end of the team, she was about to leave. Before leaving, she looked at Yu Yan, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

She wanted to say, "Don't let yourself be bullied anymore. You haven't done anything wrong. You haven't done anything wrong to them. You can try to resist." But in the end, she said nothing and just handed him the wine in her arms.

There is a small porcelain bottle as big as a palm. When you open it, a strong fragrance of apricot blossoms hits your nose.

Yu Yan habitually licked the canine teeth with the tip of her tongue. How stupid! She really thought she liked eating apricots.

But what can I do? Some soft spot in my heart was hurt by her. Lin Xuejian, you are such a weird crazy woman.

Three days later, they finally arrived at the summer resort in the south of the Yangtze River, a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist, with mountains covered in lush green. The palace maids who were able to follow them were all the confidants of the masters. How could it not be a pleasure to spend the summer in such a place?

Apart from Yu Yan, he was still excluded and didn't even have a place to sleep on the floor.

He only brought a small package, which was abandoned by them at the river. It was cold and humid in the mountains at night, and he huddled silently in a corner sheltered from the wind.

It's also nice here. Looking up, you can see a sky full of stars, twinkling, a bit like her...

Realizing that he was thinking about her uncontrollably, Yu Yan frowned and covered his chest. What was going on? Something was wrong.

"That Lin Xuejian is really annoying. She relies on her status as Yu Zhaoyi's maid to always come out and stir up trouble."

"That's right, everyone has a master. Compared to our boss Wuyang, a little Zhaoyi is nothing~"

"It would be great if there was a way to discipline her, teach her a lesson, and make her choose her partner over that loser Yu Yan~"

Yu Yan: ...

Hearing the sound of three people, he stood up silently and took out a bag of mixed medicinal powder from his arms. He had collected these things for a long time before making them.

He didn't know if it would work or not. Ever since Lin Xuejian ate the poison, he had been secretly learning how to make medicine, mostly detoxification. This was the first time he had prepared something highly toxic.

I really hope they can die, the uglier the death, the better, and it would be best if they were as disgusting as they are inside.

"So, how do you want to deal with me?"

Yu Yan was just about to show up. The thought of killing someone came to him for the first time, and he trembled a little. But when the sudden female voice appeared, he hid back in the corner.

Lin Xuejian crossed her arms over her chest, and even though she was alone, her momentum did not diminish at all.

She is now like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. At worst, she will die and start over. Who wants to start out in the palace? If there is a next time, she hopes to be reborn next to a handsome guy, and the two of them can depend on each other, be free, and wander around the world.

"Also, what's wrong with me choosing Yu Yan as my match? Isn't it reasonable?" Lin Xuejian was so aggressive that she even glared at the three eunuchs with disgust.

"If not him, then you? You're not only ugly in appearance, but also ugly at heart. All you do is bully others and gossip about them behind their backs. What else can you do?"

"Who, who asked you to pick? We are all better than Yu Yan, so stop looking down on others..."

"Better than him?" Lin Xue rolled her eyes. "Bullshit! His arms are obviously longer than yours. Shouldn't he be the better one?"

Yu Yan: ...

His hands suddenly tightened, Yu Yan closed his eyes speechlessly, and his ears felt a little itchy. Sometimes he was really curious about what this crazy woman was thinking.
