After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

It was already late at night when Lin Mu found Ciguang Temple.

This young man, who had been trembling with fear for several hours and had even made up his mind to jump off Wuxi Mountain to die if he couldn't find anyone tonight, knelt straight down when he saw Song Wenyuan in the backyard of Ciguang Temple. The sound of his knees hitting the bricks was so loud that it made his teeth ache, but he was unaware of it and just hugged his master's thighs and cried loudly.

According to what he said, when he carefully picked out a maple tree that he thought was the best and rushed to the rose field, he saw no one. He thought it was going to rain so the two of them went back first, but when they returned to the carriage, they still didn't see anyone... At that time, Lin Mu just thought that Wen Qian had taken his master for a stroll again, so he waited obediently in the carriage, even a little leisurely.

It was not until the raindrops fell that he began to worry. He drove around nearby and saw a man sneakily dragging a fainted person into the woods. He followed from a distance and saw several people piled up like sacks. The man turned around and ran away. In his haste, he dropped a hairpin, which turned out to be the ruby ​​hairpin that the young lady never left. Lin Mu was startled and ran after him.

It was as if that man was particularly familiar with the terrain of the mountains. Lin Mu chased him for most of the mountain but couldn't catch up. Instead, that man finally waited for him at the gate of Ciguang Temple and told him that he was in the temple.

"Master." Lin Mu had been chasing for most of the night and was already exhausted. He was still kneeling on the ground with lingering fear. He panted and asked Song Wenyuan, "Master, do you know that man? He was holding a very wide heavy sword and ran for a long time without taking a breath. He should be a martial artist, but he looks like a weak scholar... When did such a powerful character appear in the city. Oh, by the way, where is the young lady? Is she scared? Hehe!" He even had a bit of gloating joy, as if presenting a treasure. He only looked up at his master, and when he saw that his face was not right, he stopped smiling belatedly, "Master..."

"He was sleeping inside..." Song Wenyuan was worried, "He got hurt trying to save me."

"Save, save you? Those people are..." He took a quick look and saw that their attire and weapons made them look like low-class robbers and bandits, so he didn't take it seriously. Seeing Song Wenyuan standing there in one piece, he felt more at ease. Now he started to get nervous after listening to him, "How is the young lady injured? Is there any medicine in this temple? I will go back to the mansion to get the medicine and bring a doctor with me... Why not find Master Xu!"

"No need, she is a doctor herself and has taken care of it."

"That's impossible. The young lady herself said that the little medical skills she has are learned on the spot! She was self-taught!" Lin Mu climbed up using his hands and feet. He had been running for half the night, and then he sat like this for too long. His legs were numb and he fell back down again.

Song Wenyuan patted his shoulder and said, "Go and have a rest tonight. We can talk about it tomorrow... Don't worry, nothing will happen." After that, he sighed slowly and turned to go into the house. Inside the house, the little girl was still asleep, as if she was having a bad dream. Her brows were slightly wrinkled, and she was mumbling inaudibly. Her voice was soft and weak, with a hint of crying.

Lin Mu said that the young lady had learned her medical skills on the spot. This little fox, she had hidden secrets one after another, medical skills, acupuncture, and even the words she said in a hurry showed that she knew a little about martial arts, and there was also the poison on the hairpin... If this was just a beginner's learning, then what kind of amazing talent would it be? The little fox had hidden so many secrets, and there were contradictions everywhere, but he didn't investigate any of them. He waited for her to tell him in person, to tell him these secrets, to tell him about the past years, and also to tell him... about his own thoughts.

He smoothed out the wrinkles between her brows bit by bit, and after a while, he smiled gently, "Jingchen is right, Emperor, you have done a good thing after all." After saying that, he leaned over and put their foreheads against each other, almost pious.

……

When Yuan Ge woke up, it was already bright, the rain was still falling outside, the candle was still burning, and there was a person lying beside the bed. His pale face made his originally gentle features look a little more inhuman and sharp. He held her hand, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he woke up. When he raised his eyes, his eyes were clear without any sleepiness.

"You're awake." He looked calm, hiding the fear he had felt the entire night. "Are you hungry? Jingchen asked someone to prepare some porridge. After all, this is a Buddhist place, so the minced meat porridge you like is no longer available."

Yuan Ge opened her mouth, but her throat was dry and uncomfortable, so she couldn't make a sound. She coughed, pointed at the water glass on the table, and managed to make a few unpleasant sounds, "Water..."

Song Wenyuan took the water cup and tested the temperature before handing it to her. Yuan Ge moistened his throat and finally spoke normally, "Why are you guarding here? You don't take a good rest and ruin my signboard..." As he spoke, one hand naturally took the other's pulse.

But he was hugged tightly by someone, and the teacup in his hand suddenly shook, and it had been taken away. Song Wenyuan held the cup in one hand and held the person in his arms with the other. The little girl looked so fierce, but when he held her in his arms, he felt that she was so small, with bones all over her body, which hurt him all over.

"Qianqian..." He called her, his voice trembling. There were so many things he wanted to say, thousands of words, but they were all stuck in his throat. In the end, they only condensed into an almost insignificant sentence, "No. No one can destroy Miss Wen's reputation."

The distance between them suddenly shortened, and it seemed as if the whole world was left with only this slightly cool breath. Yuan Ge felt a little uncomfortable and changed the subject, "I... I'm a little hungry, I want to drink some porridge." His stomach cooperated and rumbled at the right time.

He should be hungry indeed. Since yesterday, he had fought, climbed mountains, given this man acupuncture and detoxification, and served him a medicinal bath. In the end, he almost fell on the pillow due to exhaustion. After all this, he only drank two sips of water. How could he not be hungry?

Song Wenyuan nodded and went to serve the porridge himself. When he opened the door, Yuan Ge saw that the person kneeling at the door was Lin Mu. Guard Lin had already learned the general course of events from Master Jingchen, and only then did he realize that he had almost harmed his master and the young lady by being "self-righteous and carefree" at the beginning. The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, and the more he reflected on himself, the more he felt that he was not a human being - he was actually happy for a moment because he thought that the young lady must have been scared after this incident.

So he knelt here for half the night, until he heard voices from inside the door, and then his heart slowly settled down.

The door opened. Lin Mu looked up at the door and saw the little girl leaning against the door frame leisurely. There was still a familiar smile on her pale face. She greeted her casually, "Hey, were you punished?"
