Fuyun sighed in his heart. His Highness was really kind-hearted. Fortunately, His Highness did not ask him too much about Fan Qiao's sister Fan Miao's affairs.

Fan Miao's life is indeed not in danger, but her mental state is not very good.

She had fallen into Guang Yuanwei's hands before the prince came. Just imagine what the outcome would be.

Moreover, Fuyun looked like she was a person with a strong temper. If she was not concerned about her brother whose life or death was unknown, she would probably want to die immediately after being humiliated.

So after Fuyun went there, Fan Miao learned that Fan Qiao was fine and wanted to die at that time, but was stopped by Fuyun.

Fu Yun stopped the man not out of so-called sympathy. He never had such unnecessary emotions.

But if Fan Miao died now, it would definitely arouse Guang Yuanwei's suspicion. Once Guang Yuanwei became alert, His Highness would have to spend more effort to find out all his secrets.

Thinking of His Highness, Fuyun became more patient with Fan Miao and took some time to stir up Fan Miao's hatred towards Guang Yuanwei.

Since she wanted to die, why not take the culprit who caused all this to be buried with her?

After Fan Miao, driven by hatred, said in person that she was willing to stay and help His Highness, Fu Yun fed her a poison, for which he was the only one who had the antidote.

He can use it with confidence because her life is in his hands. This poison is just to be on the safe side. If she has no intention of betraying His Highness, she will be able to reunite with Fan Qiao safely after getting rid of Guangyuan.

While Fuyun was thinking, Yan Qing had already returned to the room.

Because Fu Yun was around, Yan Qing sent Liang Tao out to investigate other matters.

Without Liang Tao by his side, the paler look on Yan Qing's face seemed to deepen.

Fuyun pursed his thin lips, without further ado, and immediately invited Lin Huaigu over.

Lin Huaigu's expression became serious after taking the pulse. He couldn't help but persuade him, "Your Highness, worrying too much is not a good thing. You should return to Beijing as soon as possible to rest."

Yan Qing's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her voice was gentle: "This palace knows, I will return to the capital after the matter in Xuzhou is settled."

Hearing this, Lin Huaigu could only sigh. He knew that he could not persuade this man, but if he continued to waste his energy like this, there was no guarantee that the toxins in his body would not break out again in Xuzhou.

So Lin Huaigu turned his gaze to Fuyun, hoping that Fuyun could persuade him a little.

Fu Yun naturally saw what Lin Huaigu meant. He was also very worried about Yan Qing's condition, so he also said, "Your Highness, let us handle the affairs of Xuzhou. Your Highness, please take care of yourself."

Yan Qing looked up at him, smiled and asked, "Isn't this what I'm entrusting to you now?"

Fu Yun hesitated to speak. He was silent for a moment before he said softly, "Your Highness, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about His Majesty..."

After he finished speaking, he avoided meeting Yan Qing's gaze, and his light-colored pupils slowly turned cold.

Your Majesty's words were a double entendre, referring to both Pei Zhuo and Pei Shiyu.

But he hated Pei Shiyu, and hated Pei Zhuo even more. Every time he mentioned them, he felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

But at this moment, it seems that they are the only ones who can persuade His Highness.

The slight smile on Yan Qing's face disappeared, and she said with some self-mockery: "Before I finish the task that my brother has entrusted to me, I will try my best to stay alive."

After saying this, he said nothing more.

When Lin Huaigu heard their conversation, his eyes flickered slightly. He intuitively felt that there was a deeper secret, but his current identity did not allow him to say or ask much.

Therefore, he could only suppress his doubts in his heart and wait until he returned to the capital to slowly explore the secret.

The most urgent task now is to give Yan Qing acupuncture to suppress the poison that is beginning to stir again.

It was not until the sky darkened that Lin Huaigu finally pulled out the golden needles. While he sorted the needles one by one, he said to Yan Qing: "Your Highness, you need to give me another injection tomorrow night to prevent the poison from recurring easily during this period of time."

Yan Qing lowered her sleeves that were rolled up to her forearms. Her face had regained some color. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll call Imperial Doctor Lin."

Lin Huaigu smiled, his handsome eyebrows and bright eyes gave people a sense of gentleness and tranquility.

"Then I will go down to boil the medicine. Your Highness, please drink the medicine and go to bed early."

Without waiting for Yan Qing to speak, he went downstairs carrying the medicine box.

Only Yan Qing and Fuyun were left in the room. Fuyun was feeling depressed because of Yan Qing's answer just now.

Pei Zhuo, Pei Zhuo, it’s Pei Zhuo again.

Why do all the good things in the world get taken by Pei Zhuo? Everyone only chooses Pei Zhuo, the Queen and His Highness.

Obviously...he and Pei Zhuo are the same.

For a moment, he wanted to take off his mask and ask His Highness if he could pay attention to him.

However, this dangerous thought disappeared after seeing Yan Qing.

If he really did that, the secret that he had hidden until now would be known by His Highness, and then His Highness would no longer be able to keep him by his side.

Fuyun clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, which made him sober up a little.

Fortunately, Lin Huaigu came back after a while. He walked in with a bowl of black medicine. The bitter smell of the medicine could be smelled from some distance away.

Fu Yun's gaze fell on the bowl of medicine. His brows behind the mask frowned unconsciously, and there was a bit of worry in his eyes. It was so bitter, how could His Highness eat it.

Yan Qing didn't have so many thoughts. She took the bowl of medicine from Lin Huaigu, closed her eyes and drank it.

The bitter taste spread instantly, and my stomach felt churning with discomfort.

Yan Qing bit the tip of her tongue, and the slight pain made her feel less uncomfortable, but she couldn't see any pain on her face.

After Yan Qing finished drinking the medicine, Lin Huaigu took his pulse again. It was still mild, not as chaotic as before. He relaxed a little and said, "Then your highness should have a good rest. I will take my leave first."

Yan Qing nodded, and Lin Huaigu retreated.

Maybe it was because there were sedative ingredients in the medicine. Yan Qing always felt sleepy after drinking the medicine. This time was no exception. After a while, Yan Qing fell into a deep sleep.

Fu Yun also came out of the house after Yan Qing fell asleep and took over Liang Tao's guarding duties outside the house. However, he hid in the dark, not guarding outside the door directly like Liang Tao.

The moonlight tonight is exceptionally good, casting a silver glow all over the ground.

Fuyun was looking at the silver moon in the sky when he suddenly heard the sound of birds flapping their wings. Fuyun looked over with a faint look in his eyes and saw it was a falcon.

Seeing that there seemed to be something tied to its legs, Fuyun's eyes moved slightly. He raised his arm, and the falcon landed steadily on it.

If he was not mistaken, it should be the falcon that was trained by the secret guard he left with Fan Miao. Now it came to him, probably because something happened to Fan Miao.

Fuyun lowered his eyes and saw a small round wooden tube tied to the falcon's feet. He took off the tube and used his skills to take out the letter rolled up inside.

Fuyun slowly unfolded the note and saw the contents clearly in the moonlight. When his eyes fell on two certain words, his pupils suddenly dilated.

But before Fu Yun could react, Liang Tao hurried in from outside, his face extremely solemn. He knocked on Yan Qing's door and said in a rare and urgent tone: "Your Highness, something big has happened."
