She immediately stopped struggling, fearing to hurt him. "Did I touch your wound?"

Xiao Zhan did not answer, but buried his head deeper into her neck and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to inhale all the cool fragrance from her body into his lungs.

This fragrance was the source of the sense of security he had always dreamed of. Even when he was unconscious, he knew that as long as he smelled this scent, Xiaoxue was by his side, giving him the strength to fight the toxins in his body.

After a long while, he said sullenly, "I'm fine."

Slowly raising her face to meet those bloodshot eyes, Xiao Zhan caressed her cheek distressedly, "You've lost a lot of weight."

She had worked too hard to take care of herself during this period, and the blueness under her eyes made him feel a pang of pain.

"As long as you are safe." She comforted him with a smile, then took the bowl of medicine beside the bed, tested the temperature and handed it to him.

"My hands are weak, Xiaoxue, please help me feed her." Xiao Zhan glanced at the medicine bowl, then looked at Jiang Xue, and said with a smile on his lips.

"When you hugged me just now, you looked very strong." Thinking of how he had been pulling and tugging just now, but now saying that he had no strength, she couldn't help laughing.

"I used all my energy to hug you, do you think I should get some compensation?" It feels good to be naughty sometimes.

Jiang Xue knew that he was just being coquettish, but who made him her beloved? She was willing to spoil him. Smiling and shaking her head, she fed him medicine spoonful by spoonful.

After taking the medicine, Xiao Zhan pulled Jiang Xue to sit beside him, freeing up half of the space and half hugging her. "Father and Xiaochun, how did they end up?"

When these two people were mentioned, the relaxed atmosphere just now disappeared instantly, replaced by a face full of sadness.

"Master was buried according to the proper etiquette for a prince, and Xiaochun was also buried by Tieyi himself and is now in peace." Jiang Xue replied.

"What about Chu Feimo?" Xiao Zhan knew very well that Chu Feimo would never give up easily, and he must have caused a lot of trouble to Beiling during his illness.

"Don't worry, with His Royal Highness Prince An here, he won't dare to act rashly even if he knows you are ill in bed." Jiang Xue comforted him. In fact, she didn't want to tell Xiao Zhan that Chu Feimo had publicly requested a marriage alliance and specifically asked for her.

Xiao Zhan, who had just regained consciousness, needed to have a good rest. He shouldn't worry about these annoying things.

"Xiaoxue, you know what kind of person I am." Xiao Zhan said with a wry smile. This silly girl was still trying to hide the truth, not wanting him to worry.

As the Young Master Xuanji of Linglong Pavilion, there were no secrets in the world for him. He had heard about the movements in the court from Xiao Yun. Thinking of this, Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh at herself: "Since you already know, why ask more."

“I hope that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you can think of me first, find me, and tell me. Don’t always bear all the pressure alone.

This life is different from the previous one. Although I don’t know what kind of hardships you have experienced in the past, since you have chosen to spend this life with me, I will never let you suffer any grievances again. "

"Ever since we met, you have always shouldered everything alone. Do you know how much this hurts me?" As he spoke, Xiao Zhan gently stroked her long hair, and the softness of her hair made him intoxicated.

Looking at the lover in front of him, Xiao Zhan was determined not to let him get hurt in any way.

"I'm sorry, I didn't consider your feelings." Jiang Xue held his hand and gently pressed her cheek against his palm to express her apology.

His broad palms always made her feel at ease, and gradually, she developed a deep dependence on him.

One day, Chu Feimo proposed in front of all the ministers that she should marry Xiyong on behalf of Beiling.

She paused for a moment, but still spoke out. Xiao Zhan didn't seem surprised after hearing this. In fact, he had a premonition of Chu Feimo's move.

"Rumors about you and me have long been flying around in Yujing City. I originally thought that all misunderstandings would be resolved after Master recovered and returned, but I didn't expect..."

Her voice began to tremble, and she was silent for a while before continuing, "Without Master, it is difficult to dispel the rumors. Now, everyone in Yujing City believes that we are siblings."

"So, those officials took advantage of this and tried to involve you in this marriage." Even if Jiang Xue didn't continue, Xiao Zhan could guess what would happen next.

The nobles have long been hostile to Xiaoxue. They thought that as long as they got rid of Xiaoxue, their daughters would become queens.

But what they didn't know was that Xiao Zhan had no interest in these noble ladies, and he had never even met some of them. If anyone dared to hurt Xiao Xue because of these women, he would be the first to stand up and protect her.

"They did put pressure on her, but I didn't agree." She had to thank Xiao Yun for this. If he hadn't been so furious in the court and shocked everyone, going to Xuchen Palace that day might have put her in trouble and she wouldn't be able to escape.

"It's a good strategy to let Yu Mo handle government affairs on my behalf. After all, his voice and body shape are similar to mine." If this is not done, Yujing City will probably become a chaotic place, and ordinary people will suffer in the end.

"Then how do you plan to deal with this marriage?" If this problem is not solved, Chu Feimo will always stare at her like a shadow, making her very distressed.

Recently, Chu Feimo, who came out of Tingfeng Tower, hated her to the core and sent a lot of people to monitor her every move. These people even skipped meals and stared at her intently.

After Xiao Zhan pondered for a moment, he gently held her hand and wrote a name in her hand. "Maybe this person can help us get rid of this trouble."

"Who?" Jiang Xue asked with raised eyebrows curiously.

When she understood, she nodded, "Indeed, she is the best person to solve the problem."

Since the last incident, the head of the Feng family expelled her from the family and even removed her from the family.

If she became Chu Feimo's woman, the Feng family would never threaten Beiling again.

Besides, it was said that she had a deep love for Chu Feimo, so such an arrangement was exactly what she wanted.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let me out?"

In the dark and damp cell of the Inner Court, Concubine Feng held the iron bars tightly, with disbelief in her eyes. This place was simply not a place for human beings to stay, and she didn't want to stay any longer. Now she was ecstatic to hear the news.

"Your Majesty, you were released because the Crown Prince of Xiyong pleaded with the Emperor. The Emperor said that since you two were attracted to each other, he did not want to separate the lovers." The little attendant said as he opened the prison door.

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Concubine Feng's heart: Sure enough, Chu Feimo had her in his heart! She was not wrong about him.

When she thought about meeting Chu Feimo soon, Concubine Feng couldn't wait to tell him that she loved him too.

"Don't be anxious, your majesty. His Highness Xiyong has ordered that you go directly to the inn after you are released from prison. He will be waiting for you there." After saying this, the little attendant hurried away.
