"I..." Su Yurou was speechless for a while, "Second Young Master, please don't misunderstand me, I only know..."

"I just realized that she stole your hairpin, right?" Xia Qingyao took out a handkerchief and wiped Su Yurou's tears, and said sympathetically:

"It's all because this nanny has evil thoughts and even wants to steal things belonging to her old master. I guess when I first entered the palace, Miss Su insisted that I stole your hairpin because of her instigation, right?"

Su Yurouyan's lips moved, as if an egg had been choked in her throat.

No matter how she answered this question, it would only confirm that she had long known that the wet nurse was working as an errand in the palace.

But in the eyes of others, Xia Qingyao, the framed victim, not only ignored the past grievances, but also tried his best to help Su Yurou make amends.

How could there be such a soft-hearted woman in the world?

The servants looked at each other in confusion, thinking to themselves that he was indeed a doctor, and he had a kind heart after all.

Murong Tong withdrew his complicated eyes from looking at Xia Qingyao, and when he looked at Su Yurou again, his anger was already hidden.

Su Yurou trembled at his glare and pulled his sleeve: "Second Young Master, don't get me wrong, I really didn't know she was in the house..."

"You also have moments when you are confused?" Murong Tong tilted his head, leaned close to her ear and reprimanded in a low voice: "Miss Xia, an outsider who knows how to protect the reputation of my mother and concubine, makes excuses for you, how do you do it?

"

"I don't……"

"No need to explain, do you think I can be fooled by you?" Murong Tong glared at Su Yurou, shook off her hand and walked away.

"Second Young Master!" Su Yurou staggered and chased after him with a pale face.

Just then, a scream of "Ah" came from the entrance of the courtyard, and Cao Jin lay motionless on the ground.

The executioners pulled Cao Jin's legs and dragged her away like a dead dog, leaving long traces of blood on the ground.

Such a tragic situation scared everyone into silence. The courtyard was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the sound of Cao Jin being dragged.

Xia Qingyao looked at the bloody marks, covering her face with a handkerchief with compassion in her eyes, taking a step back as if she was frightened and dizzy, but secretly raised the corner of her mouth.

At this time in the previous life, she was the one dragging the blood all the way.

After she was considered an adopted daughter by her biological mother, she and Su Yurou came to the palace and were bullied several times, but Cao Jin secretly helped her. At that time, she felt that this nanny exuded maternal love, and she trusted her more and more.

So much so that she was later poisoned by Cao Jin's food with colorless and odorless medicine, and she was almost defiled by a groom.

Thinking of all the things in her past life, compared to her pain of being betrayed and tortured, the enemy only shed so much blood, how could it be enough?

Xia Qingyao pretended to wipe away tears and lowered her long eyelashes to block the hatred in her eyes.

And this scene was being watched by Murong Zheng, who had been secretly observing her.

What is her background?

Why can it be so artificial and disgusting at times, and so candid and cruel at other times?

She is like a fox who is very good at pretending, pretending to be cute and clever to trick people into letting their guard down, and then showing off her fangs at the right opportunity when people are not prepared.

Murong Zheng raised his slender eyebrows with interest in his eyes.

But Su Yurou's heart was cut like a knife.

Today she suffered a series of setbacks. First she was embarrassed in front of the princess, and now she was reprimanded by Murong Tong in public. Even the internal staff stationed in the palace were removed. After several attacks, Su Yurou finally couldn't bear it anymore, and she rolled her eyes and fainted.

past.

"Miss Su!"

Xia Qingyao was the closest, and she hurriedly reached out to help her, but because of her frail body, she could not help the round and beautiful person, so she could only watch her fall to the ground with a "plop".

"Ah, Miss Su!" the servants exclaimed, causing chaos in the yard.

Concubine Xu had seen enough of the good show and waved her handkerchief: "Okay, send Miss Su back to her courtyard. We have seen enough of the excitement today. Let's all disperse."

"yes."

Everyone dispersed in response, and Murong Zheng also took the opportunity to leave.

Concubine Xu held her maid's hand and walked up to Xia Qingyao gracefully. She said in a lazy voice, "What a pure and kind-hearted medical girl."

"I don't want to be a civilian girl." Xia Qingyao lowered her head and frowned slightly due to the fragrance of Concubine Xu.

"Today you exposed Cao Jin's true face and cleared up the atmosphere in the palace. I have made a note of it and will definitely 'repay' you in the future." The word "repay" was emphasized very strongly.

"Thank you so much Concubine Xu." Xia Qingyao smiled obediently, her eyes pure, as if she didn't understand Concubine Xu's threat at all.

Concubine Xu felt as if she had been punched on the cotton, and felt even more depressed. She snorted and left with the others.

After everyone had gone away, Liu Fang immediately took the rough girls to carry water to wash away the blood stains at the entrance of the courtyard.

Liuying held Xia Qingyao's hand into the house and whispered:

"Miss Xia, please be careful. Concubine Xu has always been willing to retaliate against you. Today she wants to use you to break up with Princess Cheng. She must have a grudge against you."

"I know, thank you for reminding me," Xia Qingyao whispered, "Tell the prince that the medicine is ready, and I can start treating him tonight."

"Yes!" Liu Ying was happy, and she helped Xia Qingyao wash and change clothes more carefully.

After dinner, Xia Qingyao deliberately stopped Liu Fang: "I'm new here, please tell me the rules of the palace."

Liufang was flattered by Xia Qingyao's attention and immediately started talking excitedly.

While Xia Qingyao was listening, out of the corner of her eye she saw Liu Ying quietly retreating.

At the same time, Su Yurou was handing a letter to her trusted maid Suyun: "Go back to the Hou Mansion quickly, give this letter to my mother, and ask for her instructions to avoid people."

"Yes, miss."

Su Yun hid the letter close to her body, left Prince Chen's Mansion before dropping the key, and rushed back to Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

At midnight, everything is silent.

The hanging light blue curtain of the canopy bed was gently lifted up by a big hand.

The cold moonlight fell on the girl's sleeping face, depicting her delicate and beautiful outline.

"Who?" At this moment, Xia Qingyao, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. Without waiting for anyone to answer, he raised his hand and a silver light flashed across his face.

His big hands clamped her wrist, and the sharp hairpin tail stopped in front of his Adam's apple.

"Tsk, you are pretty strong, but how come you are so weak that you can't help Su Yurou during the day?"

Murong Zheng looked down at the extremely sharp hairpin tail again, and chuckled: "You must be alert."

Xia Qingyao saw clearly that it was Murong Zheng, he breathed a sigh of relief and put the hairpin back under the pillow.

"I grew up in a place of exile. In order to protect myself, I am used to being on guard."

"Are you satisfied with the medicine?"

Murong Zheng was noncommittal and sat down at the Eight Immortals table three steps away from the canopy bed. The moonlight shone through the screen window on his face, and the man in black clothes, snowy skin, and red lips looked a little more enchanting.

"The prince keeps his promise, I am very satisfied."

Xia Qingyao made no secret of her appreciation for his good looks: "Your Majesty is very beautiful. If you are willing to restrain yourself a little and learn to act like Murong Tong, I think most people in the house won't be so afraid of you."

"It seems like you are new here and you know a lot." Murong Zheng sneered.

Xia Qingyao blinked, a little annoyed. This was her old habit again. She would relax her guard when meeting someone she trusted, and she actually forgot to hide herself in front of him.

But her complicated expression only seemed suspicious to Murong Zheng.

Xia Qingyao's eyes flashed, and she was pinned down on the bed while the world was spinning. He held the hairpin she had just placed under the pillow with his big hand, and pressed the sharp end against her neck.

"Who sent you? What's the purpose of sneaking into the palace?" Murong Zheng pressed his hands hard.

Xia Qingyao suddenly felt his skin tingling, and a faint smell of blood overflowed.

Murong Zheng's eyes immediately turned red.

Facing his sharp eyes filled with murderous intent, Xia Qingyao had no doubt that he would kill her!
