After his wife and daughter died tragically, the scumbag prince's hair turned white overnight

The exquisite little courtyard was kept very clean.

Even the stone steps of the corridor are spotless.

The old woman skillfully brought He Xuan and Shen Muxi to the master bedroom.

The servant guarding the master bedroom silently opened the door for the two of them.

He Xuan whispered to Shen Muxi along the way, "...We've consulted many doctors and even many sorcerers who can call back souls, but their conclusions are basically the same. The little princess's soul might have been left in the house that burned, so she hasn't woken up yet... Miss Shen?"

I don't know when, Shen Muxi was standing in front of the bed in a daze.

Like being struck by lightning.

Like Shen Muxi, there was also Shen Xi, who was in a translucent state, as if he was fixed in front of the bed.

The room was warm as spring.

On the exquisite Huanghuali wood carved bed.

The little person was covered with a thick quilt.

His face was as pale as paper and his lips were a bluish-gray color.

If there weren't slight undulations on the quilt.

Shen Muxi even thought that what was lying here was a small corpse.

At one point, she even thought she was hallucinating because she missed Xiaoxiao so much.

It wasn't until He Xuan called her several times that she came back to her senses.

"what happened?"

She tried to look confused.

However, the slightly trembling fist hidden in her sleeve betrayed her complicated emotions at the moment.

He Xuan didn't notice her change of mood, but asked curiously, "But did you see anything wrong with my little princess?"

Shen Muxi's mind was blank, and she had long forgotten Murong Jingyan's touching love.

Under He Xuan's inquiring gaze, she tried hard to make amends for herself and tried not to reveal too much emotion.

"I...I was just shocked to see the child suffer so much..."

He Xuan sighed distressedly, "Isn't it? When our master arrived, the little princess's neck was almost strangled. The person who did it was worse than an animal."

Shen Muxi clenched her fists, and at this moment she could no longer hear He Xuan's voice.

My mind was filled with Xiaoxiao's screams of fright the night before she died.

And the vitality that was constantly fading away as she struggled.

Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably...

"Ms. Shen..."

He Xuan's voice brought Shen Muxi back to her senses again.

She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, trying to calm herself down. "I really can't stand seeing this happen..."

As she spoke, she ignored He Xuan's gaze and sat beside the bed, taking the pulse of the little person on the bed.

She was so confused that she couldn't figure out anything.

But she still found a random excuse to get rid of He Xuan. "Her meridians are blocked and she needs acupuncture immediately. Sir He, please step aside."

He Xuan was obviously worried about letting Shen Muxi take care of their "little princess", "I'll ask the nanny to come..."

"Don't worry, Steward He," Shen Muxi said directly, "I think Steward He also knows about the imperial decree of His Majesty granting marriage. I came here today to make friends with His Majesty.

I am not favored in the Shen family. I came to see the prince just because I hope to have someone to rely on in the future.

If I do something to the little princess at this time, considering how much His Highness values ​​her, I'd be courting death.

Her words were blunt and serious.

He Xuan couldn't find any reason to refute.

But...

Take the initiative to come to His Highness and seek support.

This was the first time he heard it.

After looking at Shen Muxi strangely, He Xuan finally retreated obediently.

"Remember to close the door and don't let the cold wind in. Also, I need a bowl of strong liquor and an oil lamp."

"Yes."

Soon, all the things Shen Muxi ordered were brought up one by one.

The only people left in the room were the unconscious "little princess" and Shen Muxi with red eyes.

Shen Muxi quickly turned over the "little princess"'s body and lifted the clothes on her back.

A birthmark the size of a fingerprint was clearly visible.

Shen Muxi fell weakly on the edge of the bed.

Tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string.

Until now, Shen Muxi felt like he was dreaming.

Xiao Xiao...

This is her Xiaoxiao.

Her Xiaoxiao is not dead...

Not only is he not dead, but he is also in the small eastern palace of Prince Nanyuan.

She became the daughter of Prince Nanyuan.

She didn't have much time to get excited or sad.

Because Shen Xi was beside her and kept reminding her, "You must not lose your composure. This is the Little East Palace. If you lose your composure, your behavior will arouse suspicion."

"No matter how Xiaoxiao appeared in Xiaodong Palace, she is still alive now, and that's enough."

Shen Muxi wiped away her tears with her arm, "Yes, as long as Xiaoxiao is still alive, everything is worth it."

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, took out the silver needle she carried with her, and disinfected it carefully.

When Xiaoxiao was "strangled to death", she still had a circle of flesh on her body, but now, the little person was lying unconscious on the bed, skinny as a skeleton.

Even though Shen Muxi kept reminding herself not to cry, the tears accumulated in her eyes fell uncontrollably.

Her Xiaoxiao...

Her poor Xiaoxiao...

Shen Muxi's mind was in a mess, and his hands were shaking so much that he couldn't even hold a needle.

Shen Xi reminded from the side.

"Her cervical spine was severely injured, but fortunately she was well protected, so there is still a chance she can wake up.

If the treatment is correct, she will still be able to be no different from a normal person after she wakes up.

You should calm down and give her acupuncture first. At least wait until her qi and blood flow smoothly, then she will be more awake later."

Upon hearing this, Shen Muxi quickly wiped away her tears and clenched the silver needle.

Following Shen Xi's instructions and the body's instinctive memory, acupuncture was given to Gu Xiaoxiao.

Half an hour later.

She put away the needle and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead.

Murong Jingyan appeared beside her silently at some point.

He looked at Gu Xiaoxiao nervously, "What happened?"

Although Shen Muxi was startled, she still spoke in a very good-tempered manner.

"Your Highness, can we talk for a moment?"

outside the room.

Shen Muxi told Murong Jingyan the result that Shen Xi had just told her, and put forward her own request.

Murong Jingyan lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated expression in them.

"So, Miss Shen wants my token so she can enter and leave the Little East Palace as she pleases?"

Shen Muxi nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

"But this is not good for your reputation after all..."

"It doesn't matter. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

Shen Muxi smiled and said, "The little girl has caught my eye, I am willing to take care of her."

Even though it might arouse suspicion, her Xiaoxiao was right in front of her and she couldn't ignore it.

If the timing wasn't right, she would have wanted to buy a house with Xiaoxiao and live there on her own.

Fortunately, Murong Jingyan only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Shen."

"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. After all, she is your Highness's daughter, and she will be my daughter in the future, right?" Shen Muxi smiled sincerely.

Murong Jingyan was also pleasantly surprised. "In that case, that couldn't be better."

After the two of them communicated for a few minutes about the things to pay attention to when taking care of Gu Xiaoxiao, Shen Muxi left.

After Shen Muxi left, He Xuan stepped forward quietly.

"This Miss Shen treats the young princess in an unusual way."

Murong Jingyan looked in the direction where Shen Muxi left, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

"Have someone take good care of her. Also, have someone keep an eye on Shen Xi."

"Yes."

...

Inside the carriage.

Ever since Shen Muxi left the Little East Palace.

There was no smile on his face.

Shen Xi comforted him, "As long as the child is still alive, it's better than anything else. For the rest, we can take our time."

Shen Muxi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it won't be slow anymore."

Their plans had to be adjusted because Xiaoxiao was still alive.
