bit difficult, but she was determined to get it. Thinking of this, she lightly shook the folding fan in her hand and went upstairs.In a short while, the place was thronged with people, all eyes fixed...The Emperor's life or death, Xiao Yu Ge didn't care. She wasn't even concerned who would be the next Emperor. What worried her was the National Teacher’s city being so deep, that even Qian Ji Ge and Shuang Xue Lou couldn't find out his origins. Who was this person What was he doing Why did she feel an inexplicable fear every time she saw him

"Ge'er!" Just as Xiao Yu Ge was lost in thought, Qian Yi An had already arrived beside her.

"Your Highness!" Xiao Yuge still felt a little strange seeing Qian Yi'an stand up.

"Ge'er, are you waiting for your second brother"

Xiao Yuge nodded, a speechless expression on her face: "I am here by order to treat the Crown Prince. As long as his injury hasn't healed, I cannot leave his side."

"Father didn't attend court this morning, Second Brother stood in for him. It's probably going to be a while longer. You mentioned before that you wanted me to cook a meal for you as a thank you gift. Why wait Let's do it today."

"Now" Xiao Yu Ge thought for a moment, anyway, Qian Si Chen would take a long time to come out. It was better to go for a walk. Staying here alone was quite boring, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go."

Seeing her readily agree, Qian Yi'an's face broke into a smile that hadn't been there in a long time.

"Your Highness, you should smile more. You look very good when you smile." Xiao Yuge rarely saw him smile either. He used to always have a faint expression, as if nothing could stir a ripple on his face. Now, he finally seemed more cheerful, as if everything was developing in a positive direction. Although she disliked Shu Fei, she didn't dislike Qian Yi'an before her.

"I don't like to laugh..." Qian Yi'an bowed his head and smiled again. He didn't smile at anyone, except her. Seeing her, he inexplicably felt joy. This was a smile from the heart.

She had seen him at his worst, at the lowest point in his life, but she was the only one who didn't laugh at him, and the only one who smiled at him. That smile, like a ray of light, illuminated his life and warmed his already shattered heart.

“In the future, you should smile often. Think about it, you’ll be getting married soon, and perhaps in the near future, you'll have your own children. Parents who smile more can better nurture bright and confident children. Well, I really want to see your children sooner. You and Miss Ye are both so good-looking, your children will definitely be very attractive too.” Xiao Yuge spoke without thinking, but her words were carefully received by the listener.

Her words reminded Qian Yi An of himself. Yes, from childhood to adulthood, he had never seen his father and mother smile at him. He also lived cautiously. Every time his mother was unhappy, she would beat and scold him. And then, she would take him before his father, pretending to be pitiful. For almost twenty years of his life, he thought that this was all his life would ever be.

Until her arrival...

"By the way, where's Miss Ye Why didn't she come out with you" To be honest, Xiao Yuge really liked that Miss Ye. It wasn't just because she was pretty and had a lovely voice, but also her gentle nature was very endearing.

"She..."

"Your Highness, it's not good!" At that moment, Dong Xue, the maid in charge of serving Ye Lin, rushed over in a panic.

"Winter Snow, what happened" Qian Yi'an asked in a low voice.

"Your Highness, Miss just fainted suddenly!" Dong Xue looked quite anxious.

"Fainted Where"

"In the bamboo grove!"

"Quickly, call the imperial physician!" Qian Yi'an ordered hurriedly.

"The imperial physician is too late, I am a doctor myself, quickly take me to see." Xiao Yu Ge finished speaking and hurried towards the bamboo forest.

Qian Yi hesitated for a moment, then hurried to follow.

When Xiao Yu Ge and they arrived at the bamboo grove, they saw Ye Lin's pale face and tightly closed eyes lying on the bed. Xiao Yu Ge went over to check her pulse, her brow furrowed slightly, then she looked at Ye Lin's eyes again, equally puzzled.

"Song'er, what's wrong with her" Qian Yi'an seemed a little nervous.

"From her pulse, there seems to be nothing unusual about her body. I'd like to give her a full check-up, so please excuse me for a moment, Your Highness."

"Alright." Qian Yi gave Lian Xin a look and then turned to leave.

With Lian Xin and Dong Xue's help, Xiao Yu Ge checked Ye Lin all over, but it seemed like nothing was wrong. However, she always felt that she had overlooked something.

"Winter Snow Girl, does your mistress have any hidden ailments" Xiao Yuge asked.

Winter Snow shook her head: "My young mistress has always been in good health, but ever since she fell ill, not only has she forgotten everything from before, but her body also seems to have deteriorated a lot."

“Did you have a serious illness” Xiao Yu Ge seemed to have found the crux of the matter: “Who cured your young mistress”

"It's the Grandmaster! The Grandmaster is Miss's foster father, and he always doted on her in the past. However, ever since that serious illness, Miss has been like a different person after waking up..."

"Alright, Dong Xue, there's nothing more for you to do here. Go make some porridge." Lian Xin on the side seemed to intentionally stop Dong Xue from continuing.

"Okay, Elder Sister Lianxin!" Dongxue obediently walked out.

"Lianxin, help me up a bit." Xiao Yuge didn't know the reason why Ye Lin suddenly fainted, but with her medical skills, it wouldn't be difficult to wake someone up.

"Yes, my lady!" Lianxin obeyed and stepped forward to help Ye Lin up.

Xiao Yu Ge took out the silver needles she always carried from her person and gently pushed aside Ye Lin's hair, carefully aiming the silver needle at the acupoint and inserting it. The unconscious Ye Lin let out a soft groan, it seemed the silver needle was effective.

Then, Xiao Yuge hastily brushed aside the hair behind her ear and inserted the second silver needle. However, at this moment, she saw a strange pattern on the back of her ear, one that seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite place it. Despite this, she didn't make a fuss and pretended not to notice anything, continuing to administer the acupuncture.

Soon, under her skillful acupuncture, Ye Lin slowly opened her eyes after being unconscious.

"Miss!" Dong Xue, seeing the Miss wake up, was overjoyed and wept.

"County Princess" Ye Lin was also very surprised to see Xiao Yuge in front of her. She was just about to get up and pay respects, but Xiao Yuge stopped her.

"Miss Ye, there's no need to rise. Rest well first; your health is the most important." Although she didn't know why Miss Ye fainted, Xiao Yuge knew that something was amiss with this young lady. However, at present, she had no evidence, and besides, Ye Lin was still the Grandmaster's adopted daughter. She really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

"Thank you, County Princess!"

Ye Lin's eyes were full of gratitude, that gentle and tender look truly made one feel heartbroken.

After this incident, Qian Yi'an had put aside his plan to cook a meal for Xiao Yuge personally. As he left, Xiao Yuge jokingly said, “Your Highness, it seems that it’s really difficult to eat a dish cooked by your own hands.”couldn't avoid alerting the others in the manor. If they woke up the Lord, that would be troublesome."It's so late, where are you going" Xiao Yu Ge said as she leaped onto the attic.As expected, the n...
