Upon hearing this, Chang stared at Ye Chuxue with anger on her face, but she had no choice but to suppress her anger and patiently continue to wait.

After finishing speaking, Ye Chuxue came to Ye Xinrou, gently removed the handkerchief covering the wound, and then placed the bowl in her hand steadily underneath, continuing to collect the blood flowing from the wound.

Time passed by minute by minute. Ye Chuxue picked up the bowl filled with blood and handed it to the nanny who was standing anxiously waiting beside her: "Okay, go and save the old woman."

Then, Ye Chuxue pulled a small, exquisite porcelain bottle from her bosom. She gently opened the cap and poured out a pitch-black pill that exuded a strange aroma. Without hesitation, Ye Chuxue placed the pill directly into Ye Xinrou's slightly opened mouth.

After completing this series of actions, Ye Chuxue suddenly felt a splitting headache and her vision went black. She really didn't want to be entangled with these people any longer. She just wanted to leave this troubled place as soon as possible. So, she turned and slowly walked out the door.

However, at this moment, Chang rushed forward and blocked Ye Chuxue's path. Her face was filled with anger, and she demanded, "You can't leave now! Rou'er hasn't woken up yet! You must stay here until you're sure she's safe and sound. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!"

Faced with such unreasonable demands from the Chang family, Ye Chuxue was about to lose her temper when Yun Muheng's voice came from the door.

"What? My princess wants to leave, but does she need your consent, Madam Prime Minister?" Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yun Muheng striding into the house. At this moment, a frost covered his handsome face.

Yun Muheng walked straight to Ye Chuxue's side, his eyes fixed on the red and swollen bump on her forehead and the hemp rope scattered on the ground. With just one glance, he instantly understood what had happened.

His eyes were wide open, burning with rage, and he roared, "What the hell just happened? I've only been away for a moment, and you, such audacious people, dare to punish my princess! Chen Yu, immediately take these lawless guys to jail!"

When the maids heard this, they turned pale as paper, trembling all over. They fell to their knees, begging for mercy in terror: "Your Majesty, please spare us! I won't dare to do it again! Madam, please save us!"

At this moment, the Prime Minister stepped into the room and was immediately struck by the utter chaos and the pungent, sickening smell of blood that filled the air. He frowned and carefully examined Ye Chuxue, a sudden sense of foreboding welling up in his heart. Could it be that the blood all over the floor wasn't hers? With this thought, his gaze quickly shifted to Ye Xinrou, who was slumped in the chair.

Instantly, the Prime Minister felt his heart sink, his astonishment palpable. He glared at Chang with uncontrollable fury and demanded coldly, "Tell me! What on earth is going on here? How dare you treat my princess so disrespectfully?"

Upon hearing this, Chang shuddered, then fell heavily to her knees with a thud. Tears streamed down her face, and she sobbed, "Your Highness, I have been wronged terribly! It was all because of the princess's ignorance that she insisted on taking Rou'er's heart blood to cure the old lady. I had no other choice but to assault her. But I truly did not torture her. It was simply an emergency, and in my impatience, I accidentally struck her on the head with a stick."

In the last sentence, Chang's voice was like a candle flame gradually blown out by the wind, becoming weaker and weaker, until it was as weak as the flapping of mosquito wings, and then he finally spoke it in a low voice.

Just at this moment, a slight cough suddenly came from the room, and Ye Xinrou, who was originally unconscious, slowly opened her eyes and woke up.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her body was extremely weak, but she still forced herself to raise her head. She looked at Yun Muheng with a dazed look in her eyes, and pleaded in a thin voice, "Brother Heng, please don't blame my mother. She did this all for me."

Upon hearing this, Yun Muheng's face suddenly showed a trace of deep doubt. His eyes, like cold stars, stared straight at Chang, and his tone was filled with questioning: "Why do you want to take the blood from the heart? The genius doctor clearly stated at the time that only a bowl of ordinary blood would be needed, and did not mention that it had to be the blood from the heart."

Meanwhile, Ye Chuxue, standing nearby, widened her eyes, a look of disbelief on her face. She stared intently at Chang, "You... you actually lied to me! You kept saying you were my biological mother, but you actually wanted to kill me! Why on earth would you treat me like this?"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Ye Chuxue seemed to lose all her strength in an instant. She threw herself into Yun Muheng's broad and warm arms, tightly grasping the lapels on his chest with both hands, buried her head in them, and burst into tears with her hands covering her face.

Yun Muheng's fury intensified upon witnessing this scene. His eyes widened as he stared at Chang and Ye Xinrou, mother and daughter, and snarled, "Well, you two vicious women, how dare you murder my princess! I will not let this go and will seek justice from my father!"

The Prime Minister was so frightened that he stepped forward and said humbly, "Your Majesty, there must be some misunderstanding. The princess is my biological daughter. How could I harm her?"

Ye Xinrou stood up weakly with the help of her maid. She walked to Yun Muheng and begged, "Brother Heng, please don't complain to the emperor. I'm the one who suffered the most. Ye Chuxue took a bowl of my heart blood, but she's fine. For the sake of our friendship, please don't pursue this matter any further, okay?"

Yun Muheng looked at her coldly, "Hmph! Don't use the past to blackmail me! You've completely eroded all the kindness I showed you when you kept acting like a demon."

At this moment, many fragments suddenly appeared in Ye Chuxue's mind. How she saved a little boy in her childhood, how she bought medicine for the little boy, bandaged his wounds, and how she used her cloak to keep him warm on a rainy day, which caused her to fall seriously ill. And so on...

Ye Chuxue was shocked. He remembered it right away? It was indeed the original owner who saved Yun Muheng when he was young.

Ye Chuxue looked at Ye Xinrou's hypocritical expression and couldn't help but roll her eyes. She said disdainfully, "Are you sure you saved Yun Muheng in Girls' Generation? Are you not lying?"
