The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

After this princess started, the other princesses and princes all fled as if they were running away.

Seeing the disdainful looks from everyone, Qin Nihong wished she could disappear into the ground. Watching these princesses and princes leave, she was extremely anxious, but she was too frightened to utter a single word and could only watch helplessly as everything happened.

The maids, servants, and guards of the Qin family were also conflicted, unsure whether they should save Qin Nihong or try to persuade the princesses and princes to stay.

"Ah!" However, reality didn't trouble the servants of the Qin family for long, because after another snake bit Qin Nihong's right cheek, she was quickly frightened and screamed and fainted.

After the top three finishers in the rowing race were announced, everyone went to the Tianxiang Boat to ask Qin Nihong for their prizes, and that's when they witnessed this scene.

Having vaguely guessed what had happened, everyone looked at Qin Nihong with strange expressions.

With a stern face, Guard Yang led the unconscious Qin Nihong back to the Qin residence, and the young masters and ladies from other residences also returned to their respective homes.

The enjoyable trip had to be abruptly ended.

Some people who genuinely came out to have fun were extremely disappointed. They had spent most of their day on these activities, only to find out what they were even doing.

Those with a gossipy nature were extremely excited. So many things had happened today, and for many days to come, they would have exciting topics to discuss with others.

Those who cared about their image were filled with regret, wondering why they had insisted on attending Qin Nihong's event and what others would think of them.

The young ladies from the Fang family were the last to leave Tianxiang Pavilion.

Fang Qingman had always wanted to show concern for Princess Neon, but she was unwilling to get close to her because she disliked her.

She didn't leave until Guard Yang took Qin Nihong away.

Fang Qingman thought she was showing concern for Qin Nihong, but little did she know that her pretense was immediately seen through.

Before leaving, Fang Qingyou secretly gave Fang Qingrong some medicine under the pretext of taking care of her together with Fang Qingyun.

On this day, Fang Qingyun was both frightened and chilled; her body might not be able to withstand it.

After seeing Fang Qingman and the other three off onto the carriage, Fang Qingyou left, saying she needed to return to the clinic.

With so much happening today, Fang Qingman had no mood to cause trouble for Fang Qingyou, so she let her go.

As Fang Qingyou left, she couldn't help but glance at Fang Qingwei, because she felt that Fang Qingwei had suddenly become a walking corpse.

I don't know what happened?

However, Fang Qingyou didn't think much of it; she didn't care at all about Fang Qingwei's situation.

After Fang Qingyou landed, she searched everywhere for Xiaoyaozi.

It was all because of her good mentor that she insisted on participating in this outing organized by Qin Nihong, which not only caused her to fall into the water, but also almost ruined her reputation.

Although she gained a lot from this trip, it cannot erase the suffering she endured.

Unbeknownst to Fang Qingyou, on a dark blue wooden boat on the Yun Jin River, a gentle gaze had been following her the whole time.

This person was none other than Gu Jinyi.

After sending Fang Qingyou aboard the Tianxiang Boat, Gu Jinyi did not leave. Instead, he silently guarded her from the shadows until he was sure she was safe before he could finally relax.

"Anfei, let's go."

"Yes, eldest son."

The dark blue wooden boat slowly set sail, creating ripples on the azure waves.

Gu Jinyi stood tall and elegant at the bow of the ship, his graceful figure as ethereal as a banished immortal.

Gu Jinyi glanced at Fang Qingyou one last time before reluctantly turning his gaze away.

His lips still held a smile, but his usually gentle eyes now held a hint of coldness.

Qin Nihong...

On a bridge, Fang Qingyou was searching for the elegant young man dressed as Xiaoyaozi when suddenly, someone patted her shoulder hard.

Fang Qingyou turned her head and found that the person taking the picture was none other than Xiaoyaozi.

"Shh—" Just as Fang Qingyou was about to speak, she saw Xiaoyaozi make a shushing gesture at her, and then pull her away in one direction.

Throughout the journey, Xiaoyaozi remained silent and serious. Fang Qingyou rarely saw Xiaoyaozi like this and assumed something had happened, so she stopped talking.

Only after the two boarded the carriage did Xiaoyaozi release Fang Qingyou, looking at her with a grin: "My good disciple, you really stole the show today!"

"Master, don't you think your disciple has suffered a lot?" Fang Qingyou pouted pitifully. Her intuition told her that whenever Xiaoyaozi smiled like that, he was never saying anything nice.

Sure enough, in the next sentence, Fang Qingyou saw Xiaoyaozi's face full of suspicion: "My good disciple, you still say you suffered? Do you think I didn't see it? When you fell into the water, it was that young master Gu who rescued you."

As he spoke, Xiaoyaozi winked at Fang Qingyou with a grin: "My good disciple, how does it feel to be saved by the number one young master in the world?"

puff--

Fang Qingyou almost spat out a mouthful of blood from heartbreak, her expression suddenly turning mournful: "Master, shouldn't your focus be on me? Aren't you going to ask me if I caught a chill after falling into the water, or if I feel unwell?"

Xiaoyaozi shook his head earnestly: "My dear disciple, you have misunderstood your master. Of course I care about you, but I know you will take good care of your health, so I won't ask these questions."

Fang Qingyou pouted unhappily. Although that's what she said, she still felt wronged and didn't get any comfort from her master, so she was still very uncomfortable.

"Hehe, my good disciple, hurry up and tell me!" Seeing that Fang Qingyou didn't speak, Xiaoyaozi chuckled and nudged her.

"Hmph, Master, if you want to know so much, why don't you jump into the river and try it yourself? If Young Master Gu comes to save you, you'll know what it feels like." Fang Qingyou said indifferently, then turned her head to the side and ignored Xiaoyaozi.

"That would require the number one young master in the world to be willing to save me," Xiaoyaozi said with a bitter face, seemingly troubled by the matter.

Seeing that Fang Qingyou was still ignoring him, Xiaoyaozi's eyes flickered, and he said seemingly casually, "My good disciple, even the number one young master in the world has come to save you, but has your old lover come to save you?"

Fang Qingyou was quite shocked by Xiaoyaozi's words. How old was she? When did she have an old lover? She had no idea.

"What old lover?"

"Hehe, who else could it be?" Xiaoyaozi chuckled, not directly revealing who the person was, but instead turning his gaze to the exquisite jade pendant, its emerald green gleaming, hanging from her waist.

It was the jade pendant that Luo Qianmo gave her and reminded her to carry with her every day.
