But because of this incident, not only did he not feel at ease, but he became even more suspicious. Even a fool like Zhao Yurou could do such a strange thing, so other people couldn't be trusted no matter how they looked at it.

He had to find a way, he had to escape!

That night, Fan Yunfei was terrified. He always felt as if someone was watching him in the dark, but when he opened the window, it was just pitch black.

But at this moment in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xuanyuan Qiaoer's seriousness made the old man feel a little bit sorry.

Because the medicine had to be taken at intervals, the third round of boiling the medicine was started in the early morning. While boiling the medicine, Xuanyuan Qiaoer was not distracted at all. She looked gentle, perhaps because she was missing the time she spent with Xiao Chenyang. She did not look tired at all.

"Miss Xuanyuan, I'll look after the medicine jar. You go to sleep first." The old man approached and said softly.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er shook her head. "Divine Doctor, you're exhausted from constantly checking on Chen Yang's condition. Don't worry, this is the last dose of medicine. I'm sure he'll wake up tomorrow."

She stared at the dancing flames, which were imprinted in her pupils, her eyes full of hope.

The old man sighed and said, "Well, if you are tired, please feel free to rest. General Du will arrange for someone to take your place."

Xuanyuan Qiaoer smiled gratefully and said nothing more.

Even after taking the medicine the next morning, Xuanyuan Qiaoer still stayed by Xiao Chenyang's side without sleep, fearing that she would miss the moment he woke up.

"Why is Mr. Xiao still unconscious? Hasn't he taken three doses of medicine?" Shen Wanqing couldn't help but frown slightly when she saw this. She really didn't trust the people of Zi Luo Country.

"Su Yun shouldn't dare to lie to me." Du Zhijie said in a deep voice: "If anything happens to Master Xiao, she will definitely not end well. Let's wait a little longer."

The old man ate snacks, with crumbs around his mouth. "You two, there's no point in being anxious. Come eat something first. I'm afraid that because Mr. Xiao has been unconscious for too long, his body can't recover all at once. This is normal."

He couldn't help but praise in his heart that the snacks sent from the general's mansion were getting more and more delicious.

Shen Wanqing nodded and brought a plate of snacks to the room. "Qiao'er, eat something. When Master Xiao wakes up and sees you like this, he will definitely blame himself."

Xuanyuan Qiao'er smiled faintly, took the snack and took two bites, but her eyes did not leave Xiao Chenyang. She said softly, "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I know my limits."

Shen Wanqing retreated from the room and closed the door quietly.

She thought about it and still felt uneasy, so she said to Du Zhijie, "Let's go ask the princess again. Xiao Chenyang doesn't look like she's about to wake up."

"Okay, I'll go with you."

The two walked into Princess Suyun's room and saw that she was already dressed and sitting there. She was not surprised to see them. She just glanced at Shen Wanqing a few more times, but wisely said nothing. She asked lazily, "Master Xiao is awake, right? Can I leave now?"

"No, Master Xiao is still in a coma." Shen Wanqing looked at her and said, "I would like to ask if this is normal, Princess?"

Princess Suyun was obviously stunned for a moment, lowered her head in thought, and then said uncertainly: "Can I go and take a look?"

Shen Wanqing turned her head and glanced at Du Zhijie. Seeing him nod slightly, she agreed: "Then Princess, please come with us now."

The three of them walked into Xiao Chenyang's room together. The old man followed after hearing what had happened. Xuanyuan Qiaoer didn't say anything and stood quietly aside. Several people watched Princess Suyun's actions carefully.

Princess Suyun first turned Xiao Chenyang's hand over, gently took his pulse, and frowned: "I want to see Mr. Xiao's eyes and tongue, is that okay?"

The old man nodded, these are the basic requirements for observing the patient's condition.

Seeing that no one objected, she reached out with her left hand and gently pinched Xiao Chenyang's jaw to open his mouth slightly, while her right hand tried to pull his lower lip.

In a flash, Du Zhijie grabbed her wrist and lifted her up, shouting, "What are you doing?"

The old man reacted immediately and kicked Princess Suyun away. Xuanyuan Qiaoer leaned over to Xiao Chenyang's bed to protect her, looking at Princess Suyun in surprise and doubt.

At this time, Shen Wanqing saw a drop of blood being thrown from Princess Suyun's fingertips to the ground, which stung her eyes and made her expression turn cold.

She immediately ordered the guards outside to come in and capture Princess Suyun.

Du Zhijie narrowed his eyes slightly: "Princess, I told you, if anything happens to Master Xiao, I will not let you go."

Princess Suyun didn't expect that such a small movement would be noticed by Du Zhijie. She became a little panicked and explained, "The poison he was infected with requires human blood as an inducer. I just want to save him."

The old man frowned and glanced at Du Zhijie. Seeing him nod, he took out a pill from his bosom and forced it into Princess Suyun's mouth: "Princess, I'm sorry, if you don't tell the truth, you will bleed to death in two hours."

Princess Suyun's eyes widened and she shouted hurriedly, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't save him, he will really die."

Xuanyuan Qiao'er sneered, "Then there's no need to trouble you, Princess."

As she spoke, she pulled out Xiao Chenyang's sword from the bedside and cut a hole in her finger. Blood flowed out, but she didn't frown at all. "May I ask how much the princess needs?"

"One or two drops will be enough," Princess Suyun replied in a trembling voice. She hadn't expected Xuanyuan Qiao'er to look so delicate, and her aura was so overwhelming that she couldn't bear to look directly at her.

"If Princess lies to me, I will kill you with this sword myself." Xuanyuan Qiao'er's voice remained gentle, but her eyes were filled with hatred. She turned, letting the blood from her fingers drip into Xiao Chenyang's mouth, and then she waited quietly for his reaction.

Princess Suyun's eyes flickered, and she felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart. It was almost, just this little bit...

After a while, Xiao Chenyang's eyelashes trembled slightly.

Xuanyuan Qiaoer took a deep breath and hurriedly called the old man over: "Divine Doctor, can you see if he is waking up?"

The old man put his hand on Xiao Chenyang's pulse and found that his heartbeat was indeed stronger. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xiao Chenyang slowly open his eyes and look at him with some confusion.

Shen Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked someone to heat up the porridge and snacks so that Xiao Chenyang could eat them later.

The old man made way for her, and Xuanyuan Qiao'er sat down beside the bed, asking softly, "Mr. Xiao, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Qiao'er?" Xiao Chenyang's voice was very weak, and he started coughing immediately after he said that.

Xuanyuan Qiao'er hurriedly stood up and tried to fetch a glass of water, but Xiao Chenyang immediately said, "Don't go."

"Okay, okay, I won't leave." Xiao Chenyang sat down on the edge of the bed again.
