As soon as she looked up, his strong hands pulled her into his arms and they hugged each other tightly. She put her hands on his chest, her palms against his chest, and could feel the thumping of his strong heart.

His face was getting hotter and hotter, his brain was in a mess, and he was almost suffocating from lack of oxygen. Then Xiao Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Their foreheads were pressed together, their noses were touching, and Jiang Xue almost collapsed into Xiao Zhan's arms.

"Little Snow."

Xiao Zhan's eyes were dark, and his low and hoarse voice was mixed with a rare charm that was particularly captivating.

"Your Highness, please change the medicine first."

Jiang Xue finally came to her senses and tried to stay calm. She changed the medicine for Xiao Zhan and re-bandaged him.

Avoiding his burning gaze, she turned and left the room.

The remaining warmth on the lips lingered for a long time, and the fragrance from Xiao Zhan's mouth and the passionate kiss were still clearly perceptible.

My heart beat faster, its rhythm was disrupted and it was pounding.

Looking at Jiang Xue's back as she almost fled in panic, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but smile, his eyes full of doting.

Normally she is always calm, elegant and composed, and remains composed even when faced with danger. But today, her panicked escape is quite unique.

Just now she was so close to him, her warm fingers brushing against his waist, making him feel hot all over, and her unique scent made it difficult for him to control himself.

Ever since he realized that he was attracted to Jiang Xue, her every word and action touched his heart.

He liked the close contact with her, liked their tacit cooperation, and liked the tacit understanding between them.

Over the past decade, apart from his mother, Jiang Xue was the only woman he wanted to get close to.

After some calculations, he found out that their wedding would be next month. He was particularly looking forward to the wedding day to see how his bride would outshine all the other beauties and become the focus of Yujing City.

In the following days, Jiang Xue took good care of Xiao Zhan. She prepared medicine for him, boiled medicine, fed him medicine, and changed medicine for him every day, and she was very busy.

Sometimes, he would deliberately act coquettishly and ask her to help him change clothes and wipe his body, but she would ruthlessly throw the work to Qingfeng and Tieyi.

She also personally took care of Fudong and Xiaochun's severed fingers. Tieyi often came to help and told a lot of jokes every time, mostly to make Xiaochun happy.

To be honest, Tieyi's jokes were really deliberate and deadly. Jiang Xue originally thought Xiaochun wouldn't buy it, but she didn't expect that this girl could actually laugh, which surprised her.

It is true that all living things are different and everything is in conflict with each other. Even a cold joke can make Xiaochun laugh.

Just like that, her cold-looking Xiaochun was seduced by Tieyi. Tieyi was overjoyed, but Fudong was heartbroken.

This guy complained to her all day long when she was changing the dressings, looking like a bullied young wife, saying that her cabbages were being eaten by pigs.

She was in a state of confusion, as Tieyi was a cloud-walking guard after all. He was handsome, agile, and smart. When he stood with Xiaochun, they were a perfect match. How could he be regarded as a pig eating cabbages?

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. During this half month, Prince Gong's Mansion was calm, but there were constant disturbances outside the mansion.

First, Lin Xu, the head of the Lin family, was sentenced to death for stabbing the prince and was beheaded in the vegetable market. All other members of the Lin family were exiled and were never allowed to return to Beijing for the rest of their lives.

Then, the Lin family was destroyed, the Imperial Concubine was heartbroken and fell ill in bed. Prince Duan Xiao Yan's strength was also greatly reduced as a result. Compared with Xiao Li, his strength was reduced by more than half.

The happiest people were the Queen and Xiao Li, because they were now the most powerful princes in the court.

They say that when a tree falls, monkeys scatter; when a wall collapses, everyone pushes it.

The collapse of the Lin family was a fatal blow to Lin Wan. The last bit of favor that Emperor Beiling had for her also disappeared. The concubines who had previously relied on Lin Wan left her when they saw her lose power.

Some even added insult to injury, knowing full well that she was seriously ill, they still refused to allow the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau to treat her. If Xiao Yan had not been so furious that he broke into the Imperial Medical Bureau with a sword in hand and captured the doctor, Lin Wan might not have lived for more than a few days.

Xiao Yan was reported by Xiao Li's people for threatening court officials. However, Emperor Beiling did not punish him severely, considering that he was worried about his mother and was being filial. He only deducted three months' salary and confined him to his home for seven days. During this period, he also sent a lot of things to appease Xiao Yan.

"Ah, speaking of which, this imperial concubine is really pitiful. She has lost her natal family and her favor. She has enjoyed so much glory for so many years, but in the end she has fallen to this point. It is really sad."

Sun Xiurong was free today, so she came to the Queen Mother to help prepare for Jiang Xue's wedding. She happened to meet Jiang Xue there, so the two of them started chatting, and somehow they talked about Lin Wan.

Jiang Xue smiled but said nothing. She had no sympathy for Lin Wan.

If Lin Wan hadn't sent someone to provoke her first, she wouldn't have touched the Lin family. The women in the harem were not so easy to be defeated, especially someone like Lin Wan, who had been sitting firmly on the throne of the Imperial Concubine for more than ten years.

Without the support of her natal family, she still had her son Xiao Yan as a card. So, she took this opportunity to let Xiao Yan stage a drama of a filial son saving his mother, which made Emperor Beiling soften his heart.

Otherwise, why would the Emperor of Beiling send something to appease Xiao Yan? Doesn't he know what this means in the eyes of others?

Now the common people are saying that Prince Duan Xiao Yan is filial and kind, and even the emperor loves him very much, and has given him many gifts to comfort the mother and son. Everyone praises their deep love for each other, and their support rate has soared.

One has to admit that Lin Wan, this skinny camel, is bigger than a horse. Even though she has lost power, her ability to manipulate people's hearts is still superb.

"Empress Xiurong, didn't the Tenth Prince and the Eleventh Princess come with you today?" Jiang Xue changed the subject and asked about Sun Xiurong's beloved children.

Rather than talking about Lin Wan, a thoughtful woman, she would rather talk about the lovely twin boy and girl.

Especially Eleven, whose innocent character made her both envious and loving.

"When Xiao Shiyi heard that you were getting married, she kept clamoring to prepare a gift for you. Wen Yuan was so annoyed that she had to take her out." When talking about her own child, Sun Xiurong's face was filled with a loving smile.

In this deep palace, people's hearts are treacherous, and only children can bring her warmth.

"The Tenth Prince really loves the Eleventh Princess." Wenyuan is the pen name of the Tenth Prince Xiao Jin. Jiang Xue is also quite interested in this Tenth Prince.

Although he was only a seven-year-old, he always looked mature and serious, with deep eyes and obscure words that were hard to understand. He was cold to everyone except Eleven, whom he doted on almost to the point of doting.

"That child is very thoughtful and never talks much to me, his mother. He only smiles when he is frustrated. I think this is probably because of the telepathy between twins."

Sun Xiurong showed a piece of cut red paper with an exquisite double happiness character on it.

"Miss Xiurong's craftsmanship is really great." Jiang Xue looked at the messy red paper in her hands, smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Her handwork is beyond description.
