The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 654: bitter trick
Chapter 654: The Self-Torture Scheme
Xiao Rongyan slowly lowered his head and approached Bai Qingyan, and said softly: “This life is short, what joy is there without you?”
The cool breeze lifted up a corner of the bed curtain again, and the wind chimes in the sachet that the sisters had tied to the head of the bed to pray for Bai Qingyan tinkled.
The two of them got closer and closer, he just stared into Bai Qingyan’s eyes quietly, and tentatively touched the tip of Bai Qingyan’s nose with his nose.
Bai Qingyan held his breath, the palm of his hand that was holding Xiao Rongyan’s wrist felt itchy, as if he had suddenly lost his strength, and his fingers hung limply on Xiao Rongyan’s wrist.
Bai Qingyan raised her head and gently touched Xiao Rongyan’s lips, looking into his overly deep eyes…
The tingling sensation between his lips and teeth made Xiao Rongyan tighten his hands on the bed. He tightly grasped the quilt under Bai Qingyan’s side, trying his best to restrain himself…
Bai Qingyan still had injuries on his body, so he had to stop after a light kiss, but he couldn’t help but move a few inches towards Bai Qingyan, and gently touched Bai Qingyan’s lips again, and said with a rolling throat: “Take good care of your injuries these days, I will come to visit you, I think… the Bai family will definitely allow me to visit you because I tried my best to protect the Bai Mansion this time.”
Hearing the footsteps approaching outside the yard, Xiao Rongyan kissed Bai Qingyan’s forehead again, stood up calmly, straightened his clothes, and stood aside.
As soon as Chuntao came in through the curtain, she bowed to Bai Qingyan and said, “Miss, the second wife is back!”
Second Madam Liu brought back a hundred-year-old wild ginseng and went straight to find Doctor Hong who was decocting medicine in the small kitchen, asking him to see if the ginseng could be used by Bai Qingyan.
Xiao Rongyan bowed to Bai Qingyan in a serious manner and said, “Then, Rongyan will not disturb the young lady from recuperating from her injuries…”
“Mr. Xiao, if the prince asks about my injury, Mr. Xiao should know what to say, so Bai Qingyan will not remind you here.” Bai Qingyan also looked at Xiao Rongyan seriously, but his ears were already hot and red.
“Miss Bai is in a coma now. Whether she can hold on depends on whether she can wake up in three days. Xiao Rongyan is also very worried. When he goes back, he will definitely find some good medicine and a good doctor for Miss Bai!” Xiao Rongyan said.
“Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Xiao!” Bai Qingyan nodded, “Chun Tao, send Mr. Xiao out…”
Chun Tao responded and bowed to Xiao Rongyan: “Mr. Xiao, please!”
Xiao Rongyan bowed to Bai Qingyan again, raised his eyes and looked at Bai Qingyan deeply, then turned and left.
When going out, Xiao Rongyan met the second wife Liu again. After expressing her gratitude, she turned around and told Nanny Luo and Chuntao to escort Mr. Xiao out of the house together to show her seriousness. Then she went into the upper room to see Bai Qingyan.
As soon as Liu saw Bai Qingyan, she burst into tears. Just now, Liu met Bai Jinse on the road. She already knew how to tell others about Bai Qingyan’s condition after his injury. But when she saw Bai Qingyan’s pale and bloodless face, Liu felt very uncomfortable.

The prince returned home all wet, without even bothering to change his clothes. He first went to see Prime Minister Lu, Prime Minister Li, the Minister of War Shen Jingzhong, and the Minister of the Supreme Court Lu. He handed over all subsequent matters to Prime Minister Lu, ordered Li Mao to supervise the capture of Liu Ruofu, and handed over the feather arrow that Bai Qingyan was shot with to Li Mao as evidence. He ordered Prime Minister Lu to severely punish the criminal in Nando before changing his clothes.
Old Fang had been waiting in the prince’s study for a long time. He didn’t know about the prince’s assassination on the street. When he saw the prince coming back, he hurried forward and said, “Your Highness, I just heard that when the Princess Zhenguo killed Prince Xian, she used a silver spear to lift him up with one hand, which intimidated the rebels. Think about it… The Princess Zhenguo is so powerful, she doesn’t look like she has a weak constitution! Your Highness must be on guard!”
Quan Yu followed behind the prince, gritting his teeth, unable to hold back his breath, while taking off the prince’s wet clothes, he said in a soft voice: “Mr. Fang, the Princess Zhenguo was trying to save the emperor, could it be that she made a mistake in saving him? Until now, the Princess Zhenguo can’t even lift her arm!”
“I was there when the imperial physician examined him. He couldn’t lift himself up, but his bones were not injured! The Zhenguo Princess can shoot arrows with her Sun-shooting bow without missing a target. It’s no problem for her to hit an arrow through a target from a hundred paces away! She is very intelligent, especially now… She is training troops to suppress bandits in Shuoyang, which is equivalent to having soldiers in her hands…”
“Mr. Fang!” The prince suddenly called out to Mr. Fang, interrupting him.
Mr. Fang was startled, and hearing the anger in the prince’s voice, he quickly bowed respectfully and said yes.
Seeing Mr. Fang’s respectful look, the prince pursed his lips and his throat rolled slightly. He suppressed his anger and said, “Today, I was assassinated… It was the Princess Zhenguo who stood in front of me. An arrow shot through my heart. My life is hanging by a thread! Look at Quan Yu’s blood, it’s all the Princess Zhenguo’s!”
Elder Fang looked at Quan Yu, and saw blood all over his back…
Because it rained today, Quan Yu’s body was already wet, and if the blood fell on him, wouldn’t it spread out in a large pool?
“The Princess Zhenguo is on the verge of life and death, but she still wants to arrange things for me afterwards and tells me… Mr. Fang is cautious and prudent, and I rely on him! But what about you? You have slandered the Princess Zhenguo in front of me many times! And you even want me to be on guard against the Princess Zhenguo!” The prince’s voice could not help but rise.
After what happened today where Bai Qingyan risked her life to shield him from an arrow, the prince secretly began to feel guilty towards Bai Qingyan, and couldn’t help but vent her anger on Old Fang… She felt that it was Old Fang who had bewitched her and made her repeatedly suspicious of Bai Qingyan.
Old Fang’s face turned pale, and he knelt down and kowtowed: “Your Highness, I am doing this all for Your Highness! The prestige of the Zhenguo Princess in the army is too high. She is simply another Zhenguo King. Your Highness must be on guard!”
“Mr. Fang!” The prince suppressed his anger and slapped the table with his hands. “The arrow that the Zhenguo Princess blocked for me was inserted right here! Right here!”
The prince poked his chest and roared, “The Princess is lying in bed now. If she can’t survive these three days… she’ll be dead! Tell me, how can I defend myself? How can I defend myself?!”
Old Fang’s face changed drastically. After he pursed his lips, he said without confidence: “That… that could also be a self-torture trick used by the Zhenguo Princess to gain the trust of His Highness!”
The prince swept the pens, ink, paper and inkstone off the table, and the inkstone, brush washer and emerald purple-hair brush shattered to the ground.
“Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking!”
The prince already felt extremely guilty towards Bai Qingyan, especially since Bai Qingyan was still making plans for him before he thought he was going to die. At this moment, the prince… simply would not tolerate anyone saying a word against Bai Qingyan.
He was furious and scolded Mr. Fang who was kneeling on the ground and knelt down: “You are loyal! It is true that I have been grateful for you all these years! But you… can’t tolerate people who are more intelligent than you to be favored by me. Do you really think I don’t know?”
