She was driven out, and instead, Miss Yun Er was called in.
And now, cousin had to guard the door.
She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought.
Qiu Lu heard this and looked back at the tightly closed door. He felt a little reluctant to make Qian Le'er sad. After all, she was his cousin, and his uncle's family had always been good to him.
So, he said in a low voice, "Cousin, it's not that you're not good enough, it's that the Prince doesn't want to use this method to detoxify anymore."
Qian Le'er was stunned at his words. She bit her lip and asked stubbornly, "Cousin is just making excuses for me, treating me like a child who's easy to fool? Clearly, Miss Yun Er went in and hasn't come out yet."
Still not wanting to use her to detoxify?
When did cousin learn to lie?
"Le'er, don't be difficult!" Aunt Qian quickly stopped Qian Le'er.
Although she was also very curious, this was not something they should ask about, especially since the person inside was Prince Ye!
Miss Yun Er had come with Prince Ye. Although she looked ordinary, she possessed a natural nobility in her bones, something Le'er could never compare to.
Qian Le'er's eyes turned red, feeling truly wronged. "Mother."
"Miss Yun Er is skilled in medicine. The herb just discovered can be used as medicine, and Miss Yun Er is currently treating the Prince. It's not what you think," Qiu Lu quickly explained.
Although it was possible that Prince Ye very much hoped to be with Miss Yun Er.
However, the current situation clearly wasn't the time.
But looking at the situation just now, it felt like it was getting close!
Qian Le'er's mood instantly brightened from gloom to sunshine. She was surprised. "Skilled in medicine?"
"Yes." Qiu Lu nodded.
Qian Le'er was overjoyed in her heart. No wonder!
No wonder Prince Ye kept that Miss Yun Er here now.
It turned out it was only because Miss Yun Er was skilled in medicine.
"However..." Qiu Lu wanted to say that the young heir of the Prince's mansion was born to Miss Yun Er, and that Miss Yun Er marrying into Prince Ye's mansion was only a matter of time.
But as soon as the words left his lips, he felt it was unnecessary.
This was a private matter of the Prince.
Besides, his uncle and aunt were in the village and knew nothing about the affairs of the capital, so there was no need to let them know.
"However, what?" Qian Le'er was a little curious. Her doubts had cleared up, and she felt she had a chance again. So she just wanted her cousin to say something about Prince Ye. She wanted to understand Prince Ye better.
Qiu Lu didn't want to say more. He waved his hands repeatedly. "Go rest. The less you know about the Prince's affairs, the better it is for you."
Uncle Qian and Aunt Qian pulled Qian Le'er away.
They had Qian Le'er go rest in the adjacent room.
Aunt Qian went with her.
Although Qian Le'er hadn't given up entirely, she knew she couldn't rush things.
She could only go to the room next door with Aunt Qian to rest.
Uncle Qian, as the head of the household, although he had only entered the capital a handful of times, understood some things after hearing many people discuss the affairs of nobles. Some things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
They were dangerous!
Lu'er's body was covered in blood. One could imagine what had happened before.
Time quietly passed.
In the room, Yun Shu was completely focused, ignoring everything around her.
Her acupuncture could not afford a single mistake.
She had to be fully alert.
Zhan Tianye had only slept for an hour. When he woke up, he was momentarily dazed. He had never slept so defenselessly in front of anyone. And she was still performing acupuncture on him, yet he had fallen asleep!
His deep dark eyes gazed at Yun Shu.
Even though she was wearing a mask, it couldn't hide her radiance.
Suddenly, he saw a drop of sweat slide down her forehead, about to fall from her delicate jawline.
Just as he was about to reach out and catch it.
He suddenly heard her clear and cold voice command, "Don't move."
Zhan Tianye turned his head and saw that his arm was also covered in silver needles.
Looking down again, she was performing acupuncture on his leg.
Her eyes hadn't moved an inch, but sensing that he had woken up and knew he was about to move, she had spoken to warn him.
His whole body was now covered in silver needles, no wonder he had to undress.
His gaze involuntarily moved from her jaw to her slender neck, which was as white as snow.
His throat moved.
Suddenly, his body stiffened.
He had completely forgotten that he was completely naked at this moment!
Yun Shu was about to pick up the next silver needle when her peripheral vision, by sheer bad luck, swept over his body.
No matter how much she could control her emotions, her breathing faltered at this moment.
The hand she had raised did not fall.
She closed her eyes and reminded him in a clear and cold voice, "Don't have wild thoughts."
Zhan Tianye couldn't control himself, but he didn't hide his thoughts either. He replied in a low voice, "I'll try my best."
"Not try your best, you must control yourself! I'm performing acupuncture, don't disturb me." Yun Shu bit her lip, trying her best to avoid looking unintentionally.
However, she was performing acupuncture on his leg, and her peripheral vision would catch a glimpse.
Seeing Yun Shu's somewhat flustered appearance, Zhan Tianye was momentarily lost in thought.
Extremely beautiful!
A beauty different from what he had seen before!
Even with the mask she was wearing, it couldn't hide her beauty at all.
Seeing that he still wasn't restraining himself, Yun Shu could only silently grab a silk handkerchief from her body and throw it at him.
It landed perfectly to cover him.
But it only covered half of the majestic structure.
But Yun Shu had already forced herself to not see and once again focused on performing acupuncture.
It was almost done.
Zhan Tianye no longer disturbed Yun Shu, but some things were not as simple as wanting to be pure and detached.
Fortunately.
As she continued her acupuncture, he felt his body becoming lighter and lighter.
Time once again flowed by quietly.
Under the faint candlelight, Zhan Tianye's lips, which had regained some color, curved slightly.
The sudden assassination and sudden poisoning were not entirely bad things.
...
At this very moment.
In the capital.
Yun Changfeng had not received any news from Yun Shu and was very anxious. He sensed something was amiss.
He coaxed Xiao Jing and the other two, saying that Shu'er had sent a message and would not be back tonight because she had something to do. Only then did the three little ones fall asleep.
But he still couldn't feel at ease. He ordered people to gather information, but there was no news about Shu'er.
He sat restlessly in his study.
He always felt that Shu'er would not return without reason, nor would she fail to send any news back.
Just as he decided to go out of the city himself to check, a dark shadow appeared before him.
"Great General, this subordinate is from Prince Ye's mansion. Prince Ye and Miss Yun Er are in trouble!"
At the same time, the three little ones who were fast asleep.
They had been sleeping soundly.
But as they slept, suddenly, all three little ones had nightmares.
In their dreams, their beloved mother was surrounded by villains who wanted to take her life!
So many arrows!
There seemed to be firelight all around.
"Ah! Mother!"
"Mother is in danger!"
"Mother!"
