Chu Xinyue pressed down hard on Murong Ye's wound with her hand, then stood up with the help of Murong Nan's hand.

She didn't look at Murong Ye, who was speechless from the pain, but pointed at the stretcher and said with a look of self-blame, "It's all my fault. I didn't notice the stretcher. Not only did I hurt myself, but I almost hurt my second brother."

Murong Nan immediately looked down at her leg nervously, "Where did you hit? Did you hurt your knee? Anyway, the imperial physician is here, I'll go get him to take a look at you!"

"Eh—no need!"

Chu Xinyue quickly grabbed him and glanced at Murong Ye on the stretcher with concern. "I'm tough, so a few minor injuries are no big deal. Second Brother's health is more important. Let's send him back first!"

These tea talk and tea language were taught to her by Ali before she left the palace.

Ali said that in Murong Nan's eyes, the seriously injured Murong Ye was in a weak position. The more she bullied Murong Ye, the more Murong Nan would help Murong Ye.

But on the other hand, the more she showed that she cared about Murong Ye, the more Murong Nan would care about her.

In Murong Nan's heart, Murong Ye had once saved his life. He was not only his second brother, but also his savior.

Now that his benefactor is injured, he must want to take this opportunity to repay the favor he owed Murong Ye.

Chu Xinyue married into Prince Kang's mansion and became one with him. She showed that she cared about Murong Ye more than Murong Nan did, so Murong Nan would naturally put more of his attention on Chu Xinyue.

Therefore, when Murong Nan saw Chu Xinyue's attitude towards Murong Ye change 180 degrees, his face was full of relief, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Murong Ye was so angry when he heard the conversation between the young couple.

Is Murong Nan blind?

Chu Xinyue clearly fell down on purpose and tore his wound!

He wanted to expose Chu Xinyue's hypocritical mask right then and there, but his throat seemed to be strangled by an invisible hand, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, "Ah...ah..."

"Second brother, it's not your fault that Ah Yue fell, don't take it to heart."

Murong Ye had never felt so aggrieved. After hearing Murong Nan's words, he felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Murong Nan saw that he didn't say anything, he jumped off the carriage and ordered the accompanying guards to carry Murong Ye into Prince Xian's palace.

In the carriage, Chu Xinyue casually picked up a rag from the corner and rubbed the corner of Murong Ye's mouth a few times to clean the blood. "Second brother, you wanted to harm Murong Nan, but it was Murong Nan who saved your life! I don't care how much he owed you when he was a child, this time he has paid it back completely! If you dare to harm him again, I will kill you!"

When she heard the footsteps of the guards approaching, her face immediately changed back to a tea-faced expression, "Second brother, please take good care of yourself after returning home."

Murong Ye's wound was so painful that it tore his lungs apart, causing his internal organs to churn.

He stared at Chu Xinyue, and seeing her gloating expression, his anger rose to the top of his head.

Unfortunately, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, and he couldn't vent his anger. He almost suffered a cerebral thrombosis on the spot.

At this time, the guards lifted the curtain, and Chu Xinyue took a nap and watched as he and the stretcher were carried out of the carriage by the guards.

No wonder Ali asked her to use magic to defeat magic. It’s so exciting to follow the green tea girl’s path and leave her with no way out!

Seeing Chu Xinyue's friendly attitude towards Murong Ye, Murong Nan was moved and pulled her into his arms, "Ayue, thank you! You shook hands with the Second Emperor and made peace for me!"

Chu Xinyue made a cute expression and poked his chest with her index finger. "Yes, I've sacrificed so much for you. If you dare to treat me badly in the future, I won't forgive you!"

Murong Nan took her hand, his eyes full of affection, "No, Ah Yue, you are the most important person in my life. I will definitely treat you twice as well in the future!"

Chu Xinyue glanced at him sideways, "That's not right, why do I feel that Murong Ye is the most important person in your life?"

Murong Nan looked at Chu Xinyue seriously, "Ayue, in my heart, no one can surpass you!"

"I will believe you for now. Anyway, you and Murong Ye have nothing to do with each other now. If you dare to get involved with him again, we will have nothing to do with each other!"

After settling Murong Ye, the couple got on the carriage and returned to Prince Kang's Mansion.

On the way, Chu Xinyue looked at Murong Nan, who was sitting across from her drinking tea and eating candied fruit. After pondering over her thoughts, she spoke seriously, "Murong Nan, there's something I feel I really need to tell you."

Today, in order to anger Murong Ye, she pretended to be considerate for a long time, but she didn't want to pretend for the rest of her life.

Murong Nan met her serious expression and immediately put down the teacup in his hand. "You talk, I'm listening."

"Do you still remember the blood amber pendant your second brother gave you?"

"Of course I remember. It was a wedding gift specially given to us by our second brother."

Murong Nan said, looking down at her waist. He didn't see the pendant that used to hang on her belt. A look of regret appeared in his eyes. "It's a pity that the pendant was accidentally broken by Princess Lan Zheng."

Chu Xinyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Princess Lan Zheng didn't break it by accident. She deliberately took the opportunity to toast me and smashed the blood amber pendant at my feet."

"what?"

Murong Nan was confused. "Why did Princess Lan Zheng break the blood amber?"

Chu Xinyue didn't answer but asked, "There's a small black dot in the blood amber. You told me at the time that the blood amber with more black dots looks like an eye, right?"

Murong Nan didn't know why she suddenly mentioned blood amber, but he nodded and said, "Yes, I also said it looked scary at night!"

"You find it scary not because you're timid, but because there's a puppet Gu sealed in the blood amber."

Murong Nan was stunned when he heard this. "Puppet Gu? Are you saying that the puppet Gu in Princess Lan Zheng is from the blood amber? How is this possible?"

Chu Xinyue knew he was having trouble believing it, so before he could digest the news, she dropped another bombshell, "The puppet Gu in the blood amber was specially prepared for you by your second brother. Later, when he saw me wearing that piece of blood amber, he had other ideas and had Lan Zheng break the blood amber and plant the puppet Gu in me!"

how come?

how come?

Murong Nan was so shocked by her words that he couldn't utter a word.

Chu Xinyue didn't expect him to recognize Murong Ye's true face immediately, and continued, "Your second brother and Lan Zheng both thought that the puppet Gu was in me. They blew the whistle that day to activate the Gu in my body so that I could kill Ali!"

"Kill, Concubine Xue?" Chu Xinyue's words made Murong Nan tremble with fear.

Chu Xinyue looked at the stunned expression on his face, her lips curled up, and she said in a mocking tone, "Yes, but Murong Ye didn't expect that Ah Li had already seen through his trick and had someone make fake blood amber for me to carry with me. The blood amber that Lan Zheng broke was fake, and the moment she dropped the blood amber, I dropped the real blood amber at her feet."

Murong Nan was horrified when he heard this, "But...but..."

He knew Chu Xinyue's character. No matter how much Chu Xinyue hated Murong Ye, she would never mess around with other people's lives.

Unless this matter is really a matter of life and death!

Chu Xinyue saw his inner struggle and simply gave him a drastic measure, "Murong Nan, I know it's hard for you to accept this right now, but what I said is the truth. Without Ali, one of us would have become Murong Ye's murder weapon! This time, Murong Ye thought I was the one infected with the puppet Gu, so he wasn't prepared for Lan Zheng, which is why he was stabbed by Lan Zheng."

Yes, Murong Nan had thought about it before. With his second brother's skills, how could he be seriously injured by Princess Lan Zheng?

Moreover, he had recently entered the palace and often heard the young palace maids and eunuchs discussing the scene when Lan Zheng stabbed Murong Ye.

It is said that Lan Zheng's expression was very strange at that time, and she looked like she had lost her soul.

Seeing Murong Nan remained silent, Chu Xinyue didn't force him to immediately cut off all contact with Murong Nan. "I've said all I can say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. If one day you discover his true identity and he wants to kill you, and I can't save you in time, you can't blame me."

After saying that, she really calmed down and lowered her head to concentrate on eating the candied fruit on the coffee table.

Murong Nan looked at her while she ate, and didn't say anything else, just watched her silently.

The two of them didn't speak again along the way.

However, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.

Chu Xinyue knew that although Murong Nan didn't express his opinion, he had actually taken her words to heart.

that's enough.

……

The incident of Murong Ye's injury was put to rest.

A few days later, Meng Shi led the envoys to officially leave the post station, go out of the city gate and head south.

Nan Luo also left with them.

Whether Nan Luo was the one who planted the Gu was irrelevant to Murong Che, but since the puppet Gu had injured someone, he had enough reason to refuse Lan Luo from marrying his minister.

Of course, all civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.

No one wants to marry such a terrible partner.

If they angered Lan Luo one day, she would secretly poison them, and they wouldn't even know how they died.

On the night the Nanzhao envoys were sent away, a fast horse came all the way from the northern border to the capital.

It was late at night and Murong Ye had just taken his medicine and lay down when he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Your Highness!"

"Cough cough!"

The weather was getting colder and colder. The moment Si Sha opened the door, a gust of cold wind rushed into the bedroom, and Murong Ye on the bed suddenly started coughing because of the cold.

Originally, the wound on his abdomen had shown signs of healing, but when returning home from the palace, Chu Xinyue deliberately pressed on his wound when she fell, causing it to split open again and worsening his injury.

At this moment, he pried open his eyelids and looked at Si Sha who rushed into the bedroom with dissatisfaction. His eyes darkened and he scolded in a hoarse voice, "Si Sha, didn't I tell you that even if something big happened recently, you should not disturb me as long as I'm asleep!"

The court doctor said that his injuries were very serious and if he didn't rest well, he would probably suffer from sequelae.

Si Sha fell to his knees beside the bed with a thud, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I have something extremely urgent to report to you!"

Murong Ye's eyebrows knitted together, and even though he was furious, he suppressed his temper. "What's the matter?"

"His Highness is here to see you!"

Murong Ye's pupils shrank, and his pale face was full of disbelief. "What did you say?"

"Ye'er!"

The next moment, a graceful and beautiful young woman walked in from outside the door.

After the young woman entered the room, she took off her priceless brocade cloak, which was embroidered with intricate patterns in silver thread. The snow-white mink fur on the brim of her hat was soft, smooth, pure and flawless.

Murong Ye looked at the young woman's face in front of him, which was about 50% similar to his own, and felt indescribably excited.

He opened his thin lips and called out in a low, hoarse voice, "Sister!"
