Wu Qingyue was speechless. Who asked him whether he liked it or not?

"Your Highness, you came here so late at night, didn't you, just to see me?"

Xiao Shiyi waved his hand, and the room suddenly lit up.

He walked over to the mahogany chair and sat down, pouring himself another cup of tea: "I came here just to see you."

I haven't seen her for two days, and I really miss her.

"...Now that you've met your Highness, can you leave now?"

She was wrapped in a nightgown and only wore a bellyband. Although she was covered with clothes, she still felt very uncomfortable.

Someone took a leisurely sip of tea before casting a somber gaze on her: "Why are you in such a hurry? Who would chase a guest away as soon as they arrive?"

His gaze was calm, but for some reason, Wu Qingyue felt a burning sensation.

She tightened her clothes again, fearing that even a little bit of her underwear would be exposed.

Also, what kind of guest is he?

"I'm not the master here. Besides, the palace is your home, so you have the final say."

"Since you are not the master, you have no reason to drive me away. However, the palace is not my home."

He casually grabbed the peeled chestnut kernels on the table and threw one into his mouth.

Wu Qingyue: “…”

The chestnut kernels she had worked so hard to peel...were eaten before she could even eat them.

"Have you ever heard a word, my Lord?"

Xiao Shiyi became interested: "Tell me about it."

Wu Qingyue gnashed her teeth and said, "Don't look at anything indecent!"

"Indecent assault? Who did I molest?"

Who else but her!

"Can't the prince see—"

She pointed at herself.

Xiao Shiyi looked in the direction of her fingertips, and his gaze fell on her chest. His eyes instantly became much deeper.

Noticing that something was wrong with him, Wu Qingyue realized belatedly that the spot where her finger was pointing was exactly where his gaze was—

Her face instantly turned red!

She quickly retracted her finger and explained, "It's not what you think."

Xiao Shiyi asked back: "Which one am I thinking of?"

"you--"

Wu Qingyue was speechless. Knowing she couldn't argue with him, she simply threw it all out: "Has Your Majesty ever stared at another woman so blatantly?"

What she said was normal, but someone took it the wrong way.

"Is Yue'er jealous?"

Pooh!

Only the devil would be jealous!

"I never look at other women. Besides, it was Yue'er who asked me to look just now."

"Who told you to look? It was an accident."

She herself didn't realize that these words had a hint of coquettishness.

"Well, let's just treat it as an accident."

What do you mean?

"It was just an accident!"

"Well, it was an accident."

Wu Qingyue knew that he wouldn't believe anything she said, so she had to give up.

"You haven't told me why you're here tonight?"

"I heard that you went to the East Palace today."

What he said was an affirmation.

So he is here to "raise an army and demand punishment"?

"Yes."

The hand holding the chestnut kernel paused, "Why do you want to go to the East Palace?"

"It's hard to refuse the prince's kindness, so I just went to take a look."

"Is that all?"

"that is it."

The hand holding the chestnut kernel loosened.

God knows how panicked he was when he heard his subordinates report that she had followed Xiao Muheng to the Eastern Palace.

He was afraid that something might happen to her again, and that her old feelings for the prince would rekindle.

He waited until dark before rushing to find her.

"When the prince wants to be alone with you again, don't go."

As if he had thought of something, he added, "Don't go if there's a third person present."

"Only a fool would want to go." She muttered softly.

Her voice was very soft, but it couldn't withstand someone's good hearing.

"Be good, you shouldn't want to go."

"...Is this what you came to me for?"

"It's not just this."

"What else?"

"I miss you."

"..."

Not serious at all!

After Wu Qingyue repeatedly asked him to "see him off", the man left reluctantly.

"call--"

She breathed a sigh of relief: Finally, this great god was sent away.

She cleaned up as quickly as possible, making sure no one would see her, before going to bed.

For some reason, Wu Qingyue slept very soundly this time; this was a rare occurrence for her, as she had been awakened several times every night by nightmares since her rebirth.

"Miss, are you up?"

Xiaotao's voice sounded from outside at the right time.

"Ah."

"Then I'm coming in."

"Ah."

Xiao Tao came in with a basin of water and gossiped while helping her wash up: "Miss, I heard a lot of noise in the west wing last night."

The west wing that Xiaotao mentioned was where Wu Yinshuang was temporarily living.

"Oh?" She became interested: "What's going on?"

"I don't know. I only heard the sound of something being smashed, nothing else was clear."

Xiaotao lived a little closer to Wu Yinshuang.

"We'll go check it out later."

So, after breakfast, the master and servant ran to the west wing. When they arrived at the west wing, they found the doors and windows closed. Wu Qingyue was puzzled and kicked the door open.

"Sister, my sister is here to see you, are you there——"

She deliberately pretended to be a "sisterly woman".

No one answered her, but a voice came from the inner room, so she hurried inside. Upon entering, she found Wu Yinshuang's face pale and her spirits extremely low. Even more outrageous was that, in such a hot day, she had actually covered herself with a thick blanket.

What good show did she miss yesterday?

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Hearing her voice, the woman on the bed seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw: "Sister, hurry! Help me call the imperial physician!"

"No! We can't call the imperial physician!" She screamed again, her voice extremely unpleasant.

"Sister, please save me!!!" She cried again, while stretching out her right hand from under the quilt and reaching towards her——

Her hands were covered in blood.

Only then did Wu Qingyue smell the smell of blood in the room.

What happened to her?

She vaguely guessed that it was Zhou Yurou's work, but it was not her style to harm others openly. There must be other hidden secrets.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

"I,,,"

Wu Yinshuang seemed unable to speak.

"If you don't tell me, how can I save you?"

She was very curious about what Zhou Yurou had done to her.

Wu Yinshuang hesitated for a long time, but finally told her what happened yesterday. At the end, she begged, "Sister, you must save me."

After hearing this, Wu Qingyue knew that what Zhou Yurou gave her to drink was probably not just contraceptive soup.

Although Wu Yinshuang's current situation made her feel good, she knew that if she didn't rescue her, she would definitely not survive until tomorrow.

She didn't want her to die so easily.

She hasn't yet sought revenge on her for the hatred she inflicted on her in the previous life, so she absolutely cannot let it go!

"Since my sister is in this state, I'm afraid we need to find a doctor to see her immediately."
