Yun Nian felt like she was having a warm dream. She felt like she was placed on a small boat swaying in the water. Her whole body became light and fluttery involuntarily.

"Miss, are you awake?"

A girl who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old showed a surprised smile, but the way she was dressed made her look like someone from the palace?

The girl on the bed tried to sit up with her hands, but she pulled her wound.

"Hi~ It hurts."

She cried out softly, and the girl immediately came over and carefully helped her up.

"Your hand is injured, don't move it, or it will bleed again and that will be bad."

Yun Nian smiled at her gently.

"Thank you. Where is this place? And you?"

She only remembered that she seemed to be answering some question from Wei Qingjue, and then she lost consciousness. By the way, where was he?

"My name is Qingqing, and I am here to serve the young lady. This is Chang'an Palace. The regent usually stays here when he is busy with government affairs."

Qingqing was a little nervous. She was sold here four years ago and had basically never come into contact with the Regent. She had only heard about his brutal acts.

In the past, the regent had never had a woman by his side. Those who served him were either his guards or the eunuchs in the palace. So when they heard that they were going to choose a palace maid, everyone was terrified.

But she didn't expect that she would serve such a beautiful lady.

The traces of the Disguise Pill on Yun Nian's face had long since disappeared, so what appeared in Qingqing's eyes was naturally her original face.

"And the Regent?"

"The king is handling government affairs in the outer palace. If you want to see the king, you may need to wait."

Qingqing lowered her head and took another peek. It seemed that this young lady was not afraid of the king's majesty at all.

Unexpectedly, she returned to Luochuan City under such circumstances. Yun Nian couldn't tell how she felt right now. For her, coming back was not worth being happy about.

She looked at her hands, which had been carefully bandaged with white cloth. She could smell the fresh scent of medicine. If she didn't use too much force, it wouldn't hurt too much.

"I almost thought my hand was going to be broken..."

She thought with lingering fear, and now she didn't understand why she stepped forward to help Wei Qingjue block that attack.

But fortunately, it seems that the hand injury is not that serious now. She thought optimistically and shook her wrist.

"Ok?"

She looked at the red petal mark on her right wrist, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"The petals of the crabapple tree? Who drew them for me?"

The petals looked lifelike, exactly like the crabapple flowers she loved.

"Miss, I will go get some water."

Although Qingqing is young, her ability to read people's expressions is quite good.

Yun Nian rubbed the red mark with his thumb. The lines on it seemed to have grown together with his skin, giving people a weird and strange feeling.

"king!"

She heard Qingqing's exclamation and turned to look. Wei Qingjue lifted the pearl and jade curtain, ignored the maid kneeling on the ground, and hurried in. His eyes fell on Yun Nian.

"Are you awake? Does your hand still hurt? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere else?"

A series of questions came down, leaving Yun Nian at a loss as to how to answer.

"Not talking? Are you still not awake?"

He frowned and put his hand on Yun Nian's forehead.

"No fever."

Yun Nian stepped back a little, feeling a little uncomfortable. Was it her illusion? Why did she feel that the Regent's actions seemed a little too intimate?

But seeing the other person's calm eyes, Yun Nian felt that he must be overthinking.

"I am fine."

She curved her eyebrows and waved her hands.

"Look, it's still growing on my arm."

"Yeah, it's still growing nicely on your arm."

The regent also said this jokingly, causing the eunuchs waiting at the back door to stare wide-eyed.

This is really incredible. The Regent actually speaks to others in such a gentle voice. He thought the other party was a cold-blooded and heartless evil ghost!

Wei Qingjue's gaze fell on Yun Nian's wrist again, hiding a small mark there. His eyes darkened even more.

"I still have some things to take care of, so I can't accompany you. If you feel bored, you can go out for a walk. Although there is nothing to see in this palace, you can see some flowers in spring."

Yun Nian felt her head suddenly become heavy. The Regent touched her head lightly and then withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened.

"If you have any problem, just ask someone close to you to come to me."

"Ah...ok."

Yun Nian nodded. Although she didn't understand why he felt he needed company, this was the imperial palace. Apart from coming once for the imperial concubine's birthday party, she had never been here again. What's more, the last party was not very pleasant.

Qingqing asked someone to fetch some water but dared to stand outside. She only breathed a sigh of relief after the Regent left.

"Miss, do you want to wash your hands?"

"Ah."

She put her hand into the warm water, and the red mark looked even brighter under the water.

Wasn't it painted on? As far as she knew, no other paint could adhere so firmly to a person's hand.

So what is this thing? Yun Nian felt a little uneasy for some reason.

……

"Heh, Wei Qingjue actually came back alive. I thought he was definitely going to die this time."

Ning Sinian was still playing with a round ball in his hand, but the people kneeling to report were only terrified.

That was a human leg bone, and it became so round and smooth after being polished. I don't know which unlucky guy became the prince's plaything.

"Sir, we also met Miss Yun Nian in Dongling..."

The man in the chair immediately sat up straight.

"Sisi went to Dongling?"

"She is also with the Regent. Because you previously instructed us not to hurt her, so..."

"Oh!"

Ning Sinian threw the ball in his hand directly, hitting the kneeling man in the face.

"What about Sisi? I told you not to hurt her, but I also said you must find her and bring her back, right?"

They are all a bunch of trash. Ning Sinian's eyes became even more sinister. He stood up suddenly and waved at the remaining people, signaling them to get rid of the useless guys.

He kicked Yunjiao's door open.

"I want the Gu you mentioned right now! Otherwise, you'll die."

Yun Jiao was applying makeup in front of the mirror, slowly drawing her eyebrows, speaking in a gentle tone.

"The 'Love' Gu is not so easy to plant. Do you want it? But you have to wait until you bring Yun Nian here."

Ning Sinian's expression was not good, but he still waited for Yun Jiao to finish.

"When you bring her here, I will plant the seed Gu in her. If a crabapple flower mark appears on her wrist, it will be considered a success."
