"We brought a rope with us when we came out. Should we pull the person up first?"

Upon learning that the person had been found, Hu Dou rushed over and spoke with concern.

"Having a rope makes things easier, bring it over!"

Hu Dou took a bundle of rope from Da Hu and handed it to Lu Jingchuan. Beijing Film Academy spoke first:

"Master, I will go down and check the situation first, and then tie the person to the rope and pull him out."

Lu Jingchuan nodded and instructed, "Be careful in everything you do, and pay close attention to safety."

Bei Ying held one end of the rope in her palm, wrapped it around her arm twice, and then jumped down.

"Take her upstairs first."

When Lu Yunqi saw someone coming down, he spoke anxiously, and Bei Ying glanced at the two of them and nodded.

Lu Yunqi tied one end of the rope around Xuan Yuanxue's waist, then shouted "Pull!" Xuan Yuanxue was immediately suspended in mid-air and pulled up in a short while.

"Xue'er... Xue'er, wake up..."

Song Qingqian was slightly surprised to see that she was wearing Lu Yunqi's clothes. After untying the ropes binding her, she quickly checked her over.

Fortunately, it wasn't a serious problem; it was just that the scratches on his legs became infected and inflamed after being soaked in rainwater, which caused him to have a high fever and fall into a coma.

Taking advantage of their attention being focused on Lu Yunqi, Song Qingqian quickly took out a fever reducer from her spatial storage and fed it to Xuan Yuanxue.

Seeing that Lu Yunqi's actions would surely cause controversy, Bei Ying quickly took off her outer robe and handed it to him.

"If the Second Young Master doesn't mind, please wear my clothes!"

"Thank you!"

Lu Yunqi nodded and took the outer robe.

In a short while, both of them were pulled up. When Lu Yunqi saw that Xuan Yuanxue had woken up, the weight on his heart finally lifted. It was good that she was safe and sound.

Suddenly, he felt the world spinning around him, and he could no longer hold on. His vision went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Second Brother..."

Lu Jingchuan hurriedly hugged him.

Xuan Yuanxue gripped Song Qingqian's hand tightly and tearfully explained, "Sister Qian, Second Brother Lu was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood. He... he was also poisoned with something like aphrodisiac."

Sister Qian, you must save him! It's all because of my Second Brother Lu that he's so badly injured. He can't be hurt..."

Song Qingqian reassured Xuan Yuanxue by holding his hand and said, "Don't worry, he'll be fine with me here."

Song Qingqian leaned closer to Lu Jingchuan and handed him a small bottle of Rejuvenating Dew, instructing him:

"Quickly give this to your second brother, and take him back to his room to treat his wound."

Lu Jingchuan nodded without asking any further questions. After forcibly administering the medicine to Lu Yunqi, he picked him up and quickly headed towards the post station.

Xuan Yuanxue's fever had subsided and she was fine. She insisted on walking by herself, so the others hurriedly followed her. The soldiers also quickly withdrew and returned to the post station.

Hu Dou went to Sun Wuyin's room immediately to report the situation.

The commotion was so great that everyone in the post station knew about it. When the old lady saw Lu Yunqi being carried back, she almost fainted from crying...

Why is her second son always so unlucky? She still vividly remembers the last time he was brought back like this, how long has it been? Sure enough, once he got involved with that illegitimate daughter, her second son never had a good time.

After Song Qingqian brought the medicine box into the room, she sent the others out and quickly reapplied medicine, stitched up, and bandaged Lu Yunqi's wound...

This time, the Spring Dew lived up to its name. In just a quarter of an hour, all of Lu Yunqi's wounds had stopped bleeding, and even the small wounds had healed completely.

After several deliberate attempts to suppress the aphrodisiac in Lu Yunqi's body, and with the loss of so much blood, the effects of the drug were still present, but not significant.

Song Qingqian was worried that too much medicine in her body would affect the efficacy of other medicines, so she only burned incense in the room. Once the incense burned out, the remaining aphrodisiac in Lu Yunqi's body would be neutralized.

"Xue...Xue'er, no..."

Listening to Lu Yunqi's murmured words, Song Qingqian raised an eyebrow at him. For the first time, she felt she should reconsider Lu Xieyue's words. The fact that he could remain so focused even while unconscious meant he cared deeply…

When did Lu Yunqi begin to have feelings for Xuan Yuanxue? But their social statuses are so different that if they were to force themselves to be together, it would inevitably be fraught with difficulties.

Besides, Xuan Yuanxue might not even be interested in Lu Yunqi. She's a princess of Dongling Kingdom, with plenty of choices. Lu Yunqi, apart from his decent looks, really has nothing else to offer. Let's wait and see.

Half an incense stick later, Lu Yunqi regained consciousness. Seeing Song Qingqian standing guard beside him, he nodded gratefully and anxiously asked:

"How is Xue'er? Is she alright?"

"She's fine, but you're badly injured."

Song Qingqian said bluntly, "Lu Yunqi, you fell from such a height and your bones are still intact. Your efforts are beginning to bear fruit. You should continue."

"The exile procession won't set off for another hour or so, so get some rest."

"Well, thank you!"

Lu Yunqi spoke gratefully, watching Song Qingqian leave the room.

Only Lu Jingchuan was guarding outside the room. Having just learned that Lu Yunqi was alright, Lu Jingchuan had already told the others to go back to their rooms to rest. None of them had a peaceful night.

“Sister-in-law Zhan’er has taken her away. Lan Yue and Xie Yue are sleeping in one room, and Xuan Yuan Xue is in the next room. Qian Qian, go and keep her company. She’s probably terrified.”

Lu Jingchuan tenderly touched her cheek. Song Qingqian nodded and asked, "Then what do you plan to do about the shopkeeper?"

"Bei Mu has already been reported to the authorities. He was hit on the head by Xuan Yuanxue, and Doctor Hu said he will undoubtedly be paralyzed. His life or death is in the hands of the government."

"Alright, that's definitely safer. Go and keep an eye on Lu Yunqi, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Lu Jingchuan nodded, pushed open the door and went in. Song Qingqian was about to go next door when she vaguely saw a woman in white with disheveled hair at the end of the corridor. She frowned unhappily. Why was he causing trouble again tonight after she hadn't dealt with him properly last night? But judging from his figure, it didn't seem to be one person.

However, too many things had happened tonight, and Song Qingqian had no mind to care. Besides, Xuan Yuanxue was alone in the room, and she was worried about her.

Fine, whatever, she has no obligation to exorcise demons for others...

Inside the room, Xuan Yuanxue lay on the bed, blinking her eyes as she waited and waited. Finally, she heard the door open and hurriedly sat up from the bed.

"Sister Qian, you're back! How is Second Brother Lu?"

"It's nothing serious, don't worry. You'll be back to normal after a few days of rest."

Why aren't you asleep yet? Are you worried?

Song Qing smiled faintly and pressed on with the question.

"Well, I can't sleep."

Song Qingqian lay down next to her and inadvertently noticed a very inconspicuous mark on her neck. Her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, and she whispered:

"Did Lu Yunqi force you?"

"No...no!"

Xuan Yuanxue quickly waved her hand and explained, "Sister Qian, Second Brother Lu did not force me, nor did he touch me. We did nothing. He even harmed himself to control the effects of the drug."

“Sister Qian, Second Brother Lu is a gentleman, you can’t slander him.”

"Alright, alright, look how anxious you are. I just asked casually because I saw you wearing his clothes."

Song Qingqian smiled and said, "Don't overthink it. Rest well for a while. It might get colder tomorrow, so wear more clothes."
