In Princess Shu Yuan's ears, Qiao Nian was being humble at this moment.

So, she raised her eyebrows proudly and said nothing more.

All I heard was the Queen saying, "I just brought Yingzhi here to take care of her today, and you want to chop off her hand. If your father finds out, I don't know how he will punish me! Are you kidding me?!"

The Queen's tone was somewhat harsh.

Princess Shu Yuan seemed to understand, and immediately looked at the Queen with grievance, "I was just angry for a moment! Even my father and mother have never hit me since I was a child!"

As she spoke, Princess Shu Yuan began to shed tears.

The queen also felt distressed and quickly stretched out her hand, "Come here quickly, let mother take a look!"

Princess Shu Yuan immediately came over and whimpered coquettishly, "Mother, look, my face..."

It was seen that a streak of blood was particularly obvious on Princess Shu Yuan's fair skin.

The queen immediately frowned, "Why is it so serious? Someone, call the imperial physician!"

There's blood, if it leaves a scar, wouldn't it be disfigured?

Qiao Nian took a deep breath and then spoke, "Reporting to Her Majesty the Queen, I have a bottle of medicine here that is very effective and will definitely not leave any marks on Her Royal Highness the Princess's face."

Hearing this, the queen couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Really?"

Only then did Qiao Nian take out the medicine from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.

"Absolutely."

The nanny nearby stepped forward, took the medicine, and handed it to Princess Shu Yuan.

Princess Shu Yuan looked at the simple medicine bottle and frowned in disdain, "What if it really leaves a scar?"

"I am willing to pay with my life."

Qiao Nian responded in a deep voice. She had already tried the effect of this medicine herself. Not to mention new wounds, even the scars from old wounds would be greatly reduced after using it twice.

Now, the scars on his arms are barely noticeable unless you look closely.

After hearing Qiao Nian's courage to guarantee her life, Princess Shu Yuan put away the medicine bottle in her hand, snorted, and said, "It's your fault that I got hurt today. Since you knew Meng Yingzhi would go crazy and hurt people, why didn't you cut her nails in advance? Mother, look at how long her nails are!"

The Queen's eyes fell on Meng Yingzhi's hand and she nodded, "It's indeed too long. She is a patient now, so there is no need to worry about beauty. Find someone to cut it!"

On the side, the nanny said, "Queen, this Miss Meng only recognizes Master Qiao. If someone else gets close, she will get hurt. I'm afraid it's not easy to cut her hair."

"Then let Lord Qiao cut it." Princess Shu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Anyway, the Queen Mother asked Lord Qiao to enter the palace just to take care of Meng Yingzhi, didn't she?"

Even the Queen nodded slightly, "Yes, that's true. I'll send a pair of scissors to Master Qiao later."

"Yes." The nanny responded, but she didn't care whether Qiao Nian was willing or not.

Qiao Nian also understood that in their hearts, behind the name "Qiao Nian" was the word "slave", not some female doctor in the Imperial Hospital, let alone the daughter of a marquis.

He said nothing at that moment.

The Queen and Princess Shu Yuan left after seeing Meng Yingzhi's condition with their own eyes.

Not long after, the palace maid brought a pair of scissors specifically for trimming nails.

Qiao Nian helped Meng Yingzhi sit down, picked up the scissors in one hand and grabbed Meng Yingzhi's hand with the other.

Meng Yingzhi would not resist her touch.

Just looking at that pair of beautiful hands, Qiao Nian felt a little bit reluctant.

Meng Yingzhi's nails were indeed very long, and they had scratched not only Ningshuang, but also Madam Meng.

But it was only when Qiao Nian saw Meng Yingzhi scratching Princess Shu Yuan that she realized that Meng Yingzhi's nails were not kept for the sake of beauty.

She was doing it to protect herself.

In the Wan family where no one can get help from heaven or earth, perhaps only these ten long nails can become her weapon to protect herself.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian took a deep breath and suppressed the useless pity in his heart.

Starting from the thumb of her left hand, Qiao Nian carefully cut Meng Yingzhi's nails bit by bit.

If you are not strong, no matter how long your nails are, they cannot protect you.

After Meng Yingzhi recovers, perhaps he will find better and more powerful weapons.

Just cut it!

That night.

Qiao Nian lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

It’s not that the bed is uncomfortable. How could there be anything difficult to use in the queen’s bedroom?

It’s not because of a change of environment.

After her experience in the laundry department, how could she be so pretentious?

Not to mention that she had moved to a comfortable environment today, even on the shabby wooden bed in Hewan Village, she could sleep soundly and sleep till dawn.

Qiao Nian frowned and turned over again.

I just thought, maybe it’s because I slept in the palace?

She had an inexplicable resistance to this palace, so that was why she felt uncomfortable?

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian turned over again.

Even though the bed was soft and fragrant, she just couldn't find a sleeping position that made her feel comfortable.

Just as I was struggling to sleep, the door was suddenly pushed open by someone.

The wooden door creaked slightly, sounding particularly harsh in the dark night.

Qiao Nian's body stiffened slightly.

A strong sense of uneasiness came over me, and my back instantly felt cold.

It's probably already midnight, who would come to her room?

The ghost stories that she had heard from the palace maids in the laundry department suddenly popped up in Qiao Nian's mind.

Qiao Nian's heart also began to beat violently.

She took a deep breath and suddenly sat up from the bed. Then, she stared blankly at the disheveled woman standing at the door.

If Qiao Nian was a little less courageous, she would have screamed by now and woke up the Queen next door.

"Miss Meng."

She called softly, frowned, then got out of bed and walked towards Meng Yingzhi, "It's cold at night, why are you here instead of sleeping?"

Meng Yingzhi did not answer, but stared at Qiao Nian with his eyes.

Qiao Nian walked up to her, looked her over, and then sighed helplessly, "Did you change places and can't sleep?"

Meng Yingzhi still didn't respond.

Fortunately, Qiao Nian didn't expect to get an answer from Meng Yingzhi, so she helped her walk to her bed and said, "I can't sleep either, so let's squeeze in tonight."

She sent Meng Yingzhi to bed, then turned around and closed the door.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yingzhi's voice suddenly came from behind, "I harmed Xiao He."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian was startled and immediately looked at Meng Yingzhi again.

Meng Yingzhi was sitting beside the bed, staring at her closely, repeating, "It was me who poisoned Xiao He."

Qiao Nian walked quickly to Meng Yingzhi and kept looking at her.

However, Meng Yingzhi also raised his eyes and looked at her. His eyes were no longer dull as they were during the day, and he repeated, "It was me who harmed Xiao He."
