"Huo Daiyu! You're injured again! Didn't we agree that you should take care of your body even when practicing martial arts?"

Yun Nian, who had a little carrot head, was originally petite and cute, but Huo Daiyu grew very fast and was already a head taller than her.

The taller little girl withdrew her hand in annoyance. Her hand was pierced by the arrow and bleeding. The arm covered by her sleeve was bruised.

"I will pay attention next time, Sisi, it was just an accident, don't be angry."

But those were clearly not the scars that would normally appear from practicing martial arts. Whether it was Xiyu or Zuo Mingyuan, they would also be injured, but they would not have such marks of torture.

She knew that this was the price Huo Daiyu had to pay for forcing himself to practice more.

As a girl, and the only child of a female general in this dynasty, Huo Daiyu had to be stronger than the other boys to shut up those people.

Yun Nian knew that it was not Huo Daiyu's fault, and she couldn't even stop her from continuing, but she still felt sad when she saw the wound.

"Don't talk to me for now. I want to be alone for a while."

She threw down a sentence and ran away, leaving Huo Daiyu feeling a little helpless and wondering if he had done something wrong again.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Ningsi looked at her friend's angry face with a bit of amusement. That still chubby face had become somewhat gentle and calm.

"Really? Don't play with Dai Yu anymore. She doesn't care about her body at all. Why doesn't General Huo stop her?"

Yun Nian pursed his lips and tossed a small box up and down in his hand. Xiyu hid in the tree, his eyes following the box up and down.

"Then I will help you speak up for her next time. However, this is Dai Yu's own request. I'm afraid General Huo can't say anything. Besides, she has been away fighting for many years. How can she take care of her own daughter?"

The box was slapped into his hand and put away. Then Yun Nian said to her angrily,

"I always feel that you all seem to have changed and become anxious. Dai Yu was not like this before, and neither were you."

How could they not change? The situation in the court was treacherous, and the ministers were also panicking. The emperor was incompetent, and Ke Luo was invading. After giving in, everyone in Luochuan City was in danger.

Shen Ningsi could easily see all this from her father's actions. She was smart since she was a child, and Huo Daiyu probably heard something from the military camp.

Only Yun Nian was still like a child. No, they were children to begin with, and they were carefree and didn't care about anything.

The Prime Minister protected her very well, and those chaotic things probably had not yet reached her ears. Or, even if she knew about it, she probably didn't understand its meaning.

Shen Ningsi didn't want to change the present, nor did she want Yun Nian to be exposed to the cruel side. She just wanted to be happy forever like she is now.

Before she could figure out how to comfort Yun Nian, she saw the other party stretch out his hand, revealing the small box that she had just played with.

"Here, give this to Dai Yu for me, and tell her to remember to apply it on the wound. How can a girl with so many scars on her body do that!"

She was still angry, but there was a hint of confusion in her anger that she herself was not aware of.

"You have to protect yourself. Nothing is more important than yourself."

Yun Nian wrote down this sentence and stuffed it into the interlayer of the box.

"I guess Dai Yu will never think of going to see it in her life. Don't tell her that I sent it to her. I'm still angry."

Shen Ningsi nodded with a smile, and sold out Yun Nian in a blink of an eye. How could she do good deeds without leaving her name behind? She could only let Huo Daiyu pretend that he didn't know.

……

"How's it going? Did you succeed?"

Rong Yang finally managed to get rid of all the people around him, and the Spring Banquet ended hastily before the sun set.

When she got back to the mansion, she couldn't wait to ask questions.

But Rong Dan just clasped his hands together, lowered his head and dared not look at her.

"I'm asking you!"

Impatiently questioning, Rong Yang suddenly knocked on the table, and the muffled sound startled her.

“No, no, Miss Yun just asked me to come over and asked about my Kou Dan. Before I could respond, they left.”

"Stop talking nonsense. I clearly saw Yun Nian was very close to you, but you didn't realize that if you held her hand with your nails a little harder, you would have cut it. You are so stupid."

Rong Yang was so angry that he cursed a few more times.

"You are just like your lowly mother, cowardly and incompetent, and you wasted my time to set things up. Someone, bring me my stuff."

The maids nearby took out a roll of something wrapped in red cloth from the cupboard, and Rong Dan began to tremble when she saw the color.

She looked around the room in panic, and saw people staring at her everywhere.

"By the way, tie her hands for me, so that she won't accidentally touch me later. I don't want to taste the poison."

Having said that, Rong Yang, who was approaching with the needle, stopped when he was about to stab the opponent's arm.

"No, it's still not safe. You two, hold her hands down, and the rest of you, get the needles and prick her hands."

As for herself, she had already stabbed the needle fiercely into Rong Dan's leg.

"Ah! Please spare my life, miss, it hurts! Help..."

Rong Dan tried desperately to struggle, but she was no match for the maid's strength. The extreme pain coming from all around was about to drive her crazy.

"Miss...Miss! Please, give me another chance. Miss Yun likes my Kou Dan very much. I will write a letter to ask for an audience. Please...ah!"

She almost bit her tongue. Cold sweat dripped down her forehead and mixed with her tears.

"Oh, you should have said it earlier."

Rong Yang stopped what he was doing and immediately signaled the others to stop, then he held her in his arms and sat up.

"Since you've already agreed, don't let me down again. I'll only give you two days."

After all, in two days, Rong Dan will probably start to take effect from the poison, Rong Yang thought with some boredom.

Back in his cold room, Rong Dan was still hugging himself and shivering. The intense pain did not dissipate, but became more prolonged.

The princess always tortures people. If I had known this earlier, I would have listened to her and applied the medicine on Miss Yun's hand.

As she thought about this, she took out the ointment box again. She pressed something and a small piece of paper fell out.

"I have to protect myself...but how can I protect myself?"

She sobbed and cried, but suddenly stopped and looked at the flowers she had collected to dye Kou Dan.
