CHAPTER 101 - FIRST OF ALL PLEASE DO NOT BLAME ME FOR THIS!

On the third day, Dong Ling Wan was still unable to see the wind. Fortunately, she was able to get off the bed and walk around. On this day, Xiao Qian, who had been unconscious for four whole days, finally woke up.

After Xiao Qian woke up, the first thing he did was to ask about Dong Ling Wan. Yang Zhao looked at the person on the sickbed with dissatisfaction, She is naturally excellent, you should worry about yourself first!

A show. Tell Ben to come in.

I've just woken up. Why would I look for him if I don't get a proper rest? Yang Qing asked in confusion.

I still have some questions in my mind. Xiao Qian looked at Yang Qing, Are you not curious about how she managed to kill her way back to the English world in a short month?

Xiao Qian's words successfully moved Yang Qing. Those people only listened to Xiao Qian, and even he didn't ask about them.

However, at this moment, after hearing these four people's statements, Yang Zhe was also shocked.

Was what Eastern Ling Wan had done something that a young miss could handle? But that woman really did it! He thought it was impossible to reach Mu Guancheng in nine days. This woman had actually used such a method!

Climbing over a mountain, directly rolling down from the peak after reaching the peak. He was really risking his life!

Yes, on that day, she decided to climb over the mountain. When she reached the mountain peak, the sky had already darkened. Eastern Ling Wan made an even more unbelievable decision.

Xiao Qian closed his eyes. He felt very depressed. He took a deep breath, but it didn't ease up at all. Eastern Ling Wan, how could he bear to let go of such a foolish girl?

Ten days later, Dong Ling Wan could finally walk normally. The first thing she did was to visit Xiao Qian. However, just like when she was sixteen, she was blocked by the same people outside the camp. Even the people who were in her way were the same person.

Yang Qing slowly came in front of Dong Ling Wan and said politely: Your Highness hasn't awoken yet, please come back another day for Second Miss Dong!

Still not awake? Eastern Ling Wan's originally pale face turned completely white. Just how much damage did he suffer?

How is Your Highness now?

Yang Zhe's voice was still as flat as before, Second Miss thinks that what should be done will be done.

Dong Ling Wan frowned, Master Yang, can we let Ling Wan see Your Highness? Let me see how badly he's hurt.

She did not know much about martial arts, but looking at her brother's expression, she knew it would not be easy. He had given her four hours of internal energy, and she remembered that her brother had said he vomited blood.

No need, His Highness needs some rest. When His Highness wakes up, I will definitely pass on the Second Miss' intentions. Second Miss, please go back! Yang Qing said and left without looking back.

Dong Ling Wan wanted to take a step forward, but was stopped by the soldiers. She frowned and looked inside, but could only slowly walk towards her tent. As she raised her head, she saw Xiao Xun turn around and leave. She quickly called out to him, Inspector Ah!

Wan, why did you come out again? Didn't I tell you to walk less? " When Xiao Xun saw that it was Dong Ling Wan, happiness flashed across his eyes. He then turned to look at the servants and soldiers behind her, causing them to hurriedly kneel down in fear.

Who do you think you're going to scare all day? Dong Ling Wan beckoned for everyone to get up, but none of them dared to. Dong Ling Wan glared at Xiao Xun, only then did Xiao Xun unhappily summon everyone back.

Xiao Xun continued to accompany her as she slowly made her way to the tent. If you want to always walk around in such a cold weather, you will need to be careful of the wind! You, where did you go? "

Go see Xiao … Your highness, Qi King was stopped by someone. A look of disappointment involuntarily appeared on Eastern Ling Wan's face as she said worriedly, It's been more than ten days, and you still haven't woken up."

Still not awake? Hearing her mention that person, Xiao Xun was very understanding.

Xiao? Did she want to say Xiao Qian was the culprit? He called her King of Qi along the way. When had they become familiar enough for Wan to call him by his name? However, hearing that she had yet to awaken, Xiao Xun couldn't help but to doubt her intentions. It had been so long, she should have woken up by now.

Dong Ling nodded and asked again, I haven't seen you for the past few days. What are you doing?

Xiao Xun shook his head. This is his territory, it's not easy to search for him. "

The two of them were already outside the tent: Is that so? Is the moon cool? By the way, be careful not to look into her eyes. Of course, Eastern Ling Wan paused for a moment," Also, don't make things difficult for her.

I've heard about her strangeness from Xiao Qian. Rest assured, that's good. Although I don't like her, I won't deliberately make things difficult for a woman." Xiao Xun glanced at her before walking away.

Yang Qing unhurriedly walked into the tent, and looked at Xiao Qian with a puzzled expression: Previously, she came all the time, but now she came by herself, how come I don't see her again?

Xiao Qian laid on the bed, his voice weak. Why are you seeing her? Wasn't it a waste of her guilt to let her see me like this? How can she rest in peace?

She has recovered quite well!

Again, remember to stop her.

Yang Qing helplessly looked at him and sighed while shaking his head.

Yang Qing looked at Dong Ling Wan on the opposite side, and said indifferently: Your majesty hasn't awoken yet, Second Miss is still …

Lord Yang, regardless of whether or not Your Highness has woken up, it's not too much to let Ling Wan see you!

Yang Zhe's words were still emotionless, His Highness is difficult to meet with guests, please do not blame Second Miss. After all, His Highness is not like Second Miss, who can wake up so early!

Eastern Ling Wan knew that Yang Zhe was blaming her for coming too late, but she could only leave the house and travel normally these few days!

Lord Yang, is His Highness already awake? I just don't want to see her.

That day, A-Xun's tone was a bit strange. At that time, she hadn't been distracted, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something wasn't right.

Yang Qing said coldly, Second Miss, this is only the third time that the Second Miss has come. Second Young Miss, please do not disturb His Highness any longer and leave as soon as possible! "

What Lord Yang said is extremely true. This is already the third time that you've stopped Ling Wan. That would be a bit too much for you. Dong Ling Wan's words weren't slow either, Lord Yang, please let Ling Wan see Your Highness!"

Second Miss, please forgive us. This matter …

Since that's the case, do not blame Lord Yang for bowing first and then sending his troops away. Dong Ling Wan waved her hand, and the few people behind her immediately rushed forward, and Yang Zhi was caught off guard and unable to defend in time.

Yang Qing's soldiers rushed forward to help, but they didn't dare to move recklessly because of Dong Ling Wan.

These people were not ordinary soldiers, but the group of black-clothed people under Xiao Qian's command disguised themselves. They clearly understood how important this woman was to them.

Dong Ling Wan brought a squad of elite soldiers to protect her, and the two parties faced off against each other. Dong Ling laughed gently, It's just a small fight, what do you think is true? Lord Yang previously said that he would spar with them, didn't I bring him here?

Dong Ling Wan's ability to lie was top-notch. She calmly pushed everyone aside and walked towards the center of the tent alone.

In this military camp, she wasn't a simple person. Her title as a female advisor had been struck out loud by this match. No one dared to touch her, so she was confident.

Little... Miss."

As they neared the center of the tent, Ling Wan saw a person she hadn't seen for a long time, enjoying the snow. She had a bowl of steaming medicine in her hands and was about to enter the tent, but she just happened to run into Eastern Ling Wan.

Cough, cough.

A few heavy coughs came from inside the tent, and after saying Mistress, Tender Snow went around Dong Ling Wan and entered the tent. Dong Ling Wan's hands trembled slightly. Actually, had he already woken up?

Master, drink the medicine!

Let's leave it for now!

Dong Ling Wan opened the curtain and walked to the side of the bed. Xiao Qian raised his head at the same time as they met eyes in the air. Glowing Snow looked at the two, placed the medicine aside and quietly retreated.

Dong Ling Wan chuckled softly. Your highness is awake?

Xiao Qian responded and retracted his hand. However, Eastern Ling Wan still saw the row of red, scabbed teeth marks.

She remembered that at that time, she was in so much pain that she almost went crazy. It was as if she had bitten something. She didn't let go after her brother said that it was Xiao Qian who put his hand into her mouth. It had been more than ten days, and the blood was still red and swollen. The scabs hadn't even fallen off. This showed just how fierce her bite had been at that time.

Xiao Qian was only wearing a white shirt and a thick blanket. He was half lying on the couch, and his hair was slightly loose.

He had not eaten properly for more than ten days. His face was sharper than before, and his complexion was even paler than before. With a slight frown, his eyelids drooped down slightly. In addition to his bloodless lips, he no longer looked as warm and jade-like as he used to be. Instead, he now had a sickly, fragmented and beautiful appearance that made one's heart ache.

Xiao Qian's voice was somewhat hoarse as he asked, Why did you come here at this time?

Dong Ling tried not to open her eyes, but her tears continued to flow uncontrollably. When Xiao Qian saw this, he wanted to urge him on, but he didn't expect to lose his cool. He then violently coughed, scaring Dong Ling Wan so much that she hurried over to help him.

After appreciating the snow, Xiao Qian waved Xiao Qian away. Xiao Qian reached out to wipe away her tears, but they immediately began to flow again.

Xiao Qian sighed, his tone carrying a lot of helplessness and love, What are you crying for? Aren't I living well? Perhaps because he felt that his words were too far-fetched, Xiao Qian could only helplessly shake his head. Originally, I didn't want to meet you because I didn't want you to see me like this.

He was not angry that she had not come to see him earlier.

I must be the person in this world who has seen the most Second Young Miss cry. Xiao Qian tried changing his teasing tone, but it was useless. Xiao Qian sighed again. After coughing twice, he continued to wipe her tears, I had always hoped that Dong Ling Wan would one day cry for me, but now that I have found my hope, I really don't know how to coax you. You'd better not cry!

It was clearly a very plain tone, but for some reason, Dong Ling Wan started to laugh. Xiao Qian wanted to laugh a few times, but it turned into a few coughs when he saw her laugh. Dong Ling Wan immediately touched his chest, and took the medicine that was left to dry. Your Highness, drink the medicine!

Xiao Qian looked at the pill and frowned. Bitter.

Huh? Eastern Ling Wan was stunned for a moment. Bitter? Not long ago, this person had teased her about her fear of suffering, but now, he looked at the bowl of medicine with disdain and said that he found it bitter!

Is it hard? Eastern Ling Wan leaned over to smell it, then disdainfully moved the medicine bowl to the side. It really was smelly.

Dong Ling Wan had been crying like a cat, and there were still some tears at the corners of her eyes. Now that she was disgusted with him, Xiao Qian started laughing. Suddenly, she thought of something and asked, Have you drunk some medicine recently?

CHAPTER 102 - FEEDING

Yes. Eastern Ling Wan replied straightforwardly.

Really? Xiao Qian's words were nasal, and his tone was filled with doubt. Dong Ling tried not to open her eyes but instead, stuck out her pinky finger and pinched out a tiny bit of space. Just a little.

Since she knew that she couldn't hide it from him, she decided to just admit it.

Xiao Qian's expression darkened. Eastern Ling Wan couldn't do anything else, but her ability to lie and lie was top-notch. Her was not the least bit understood by others, and this was only half a bowl away.

Upon seeing this, Eastern Ling Wan immediately changed the subject, Your Highness, drink some medicine!

Xiao Qian's face was still gloomy. It was about time he had a good talk with Dong Yichuan about this bad habit of Dong Ling Wan's!

Xiao Qian looked at it and said, You go pour some for this prince as well.

Dong Ling Wan was almost choked to death by his words. She took a deep breath and suppressed her temper. Who told him to be so sick? He was the biggest!

Dong Ling Wan couldn't really pour out the medicine, I'll drink the medicine properly from now on, and won't pour it out again. Your Highness, your health is more important. Drink some medicine first, you're going to get cold.

This King does not want to drink it! Xiao Qian's tone wasn't as tough as before. Who told them to? The person in front of them was her.

Eastern Lingwan glanced at him. Could it be that you really are afraid of hardships? His tone was full of questions, and there was even a hint of a snicker.

Xiao Qian slanted his eyes at her and said coldly, There is no use in provoking this duke.

Dong Ling Wan was defeated and didn't fall out with Xiao Qian. She continued to speak softly, Your Highness, drink some medicine first!

Of course, there are conditions.

Oh?

One, drink some medicine from now on.

Although it was a little difficult, it wasn't impossible. Furthermore, he couldn't keep an eye on her drinking the medicine, so who knew if she was drinking it or not? Therefore, like he said, Dong Ling Wan agreed directly and straightforwardly: Of course.

Two, don't come out and blow cold air. Come see This King more.

How could she do that if she didn't come out to see him? However, Eastern Ling Wan still agreed, Alright.

Dong Ling Wan thought that Xiao Qian could finally drink the medicine, but she didn't expect him to say, Three …

And three, this person is really … Too much!

Xiao Qian then looked at her calmly, This king's army is missing a advisor.

Dong Ling Wan didn't understand what he meant, but Xiao Qian started to stare at her, realizing what he meant. Just as Dong Ling Wan was about to regain her senses, she heard Xiao Gan speak again, Forget it, it won't be hard for you. There won't be much left for me to take care of. Cough, cough."

Xiao Qian's tone was filled with helplessness and disappointment. In the end, before he could finish speaking, he began to cough again, causing Eastern Ling Wan to feel confused. Quickly drink the medicine, I'll agree.

Dong Ling Wan hastily handed the bowl over. Xiao Qian said with a weak smile, This king can't hold it steady.

The meaning behind his words was that he would need Dong Lingwan to feed him. Xiao Qian's intentions were too obvious. Even if Dong Ling Wan didn't want to find out, she still couldn't. But now that he had become like this for her, so what if she fed him medicine a few times?

Dong Ling Wan brought a medicine bowl to his mouth, but suddenly remembered something. With a sly smile, she picked up the spoon and stirred it, scooping up a spoonful and placing it next to Xiao Qian's mouth. She said in a soft voice, Your Highness, Ling Wan will feed you.

If this large bowl of bitter soup were to be eaten one spoonful at a time, it would be extremely bitter! Dong Ling Wan felt pleased with herself, but maintained a gentle and sincere smile on her face.

Xiao Qian gave her a deep look before slowly opening his mouth, taking the medicine and swallowing it at a leisurely pace. Just looking at the large bowl of medicine, Eastern Ling Wan felt her scalp go numb. Xiao Qian just swallowed the spoonful after spoonful, but his expression remained expressionless as he stared at her, making her feel guilty.

Putting down the medicine bowl, he turned around and saw Xiao Qian's calm face again as he said to her, Come here. Dong Ling Wan was surprised for a moment, then heard him say, Ear Push over.

Dong Ling Wan didn't understand what was going on. As she moved closer, she heard Xiao Qian speaking into her ear, Dong Ling Wan, you really are a heartless woman.

Dong Ling Wan's ears couldn't help but feel hot, and her heart thumped wildly as she hastily jumped away from him. Your Highness, Ling Wan will take her leave first.

Dong Ling Wan then hurriedly left the tent. As Xiao Qian saw her fleeing figure, a doting smile appeared on his pale face. Stupid girl.

Eastern Ling Wan quickly left the tent, and when she came out, she ran into Enjoy the Snow. Dong Ling let out a dry laugh, clenched her fist, and let out a light cough.

Seeing that she was extremely flustered when she came out, Ying Xue thought that something had happened. One must know that Dong Ling Wan had always been such a calm and dignified woman. She asked with a face full of worry, Miss, did something happen?

Eastern Ling Wan glanced at her calmly. Nothing.

Seeing her in such a state, Snow Cherry did not say much. Betrayal would not be forgiven by the young mistress.

Then, he heard from Dong Ling Wan, Watch as your highness drinks the medicine. Also, his spleen and stomach are damaged. Give him more rice porridge to nourish his stomach. I'll be leaving first.

After hearing her orders, Glue Xue froze for a moment. She looked at Dong Ling Wan's back, remembering the panic she had when she came out, as well as the suspicious blush on her face. She then looked at the tent, and started laughing as if she understood everything.

When they returned, the two parties were still in a confrontation. Dong Ling Wan called for the others, bid farewell to the gloomy-faced Young Master Yang, and left. Yang Zhe angrily flung his sleeves and turned his back, Take care, I won't send you off.

Dong Ling Wan was in no mood to pay attention to his attitude. She was too preoccupied with her own thoughts. Today, she had been too impulsive.

It wasn't because she wanted to barge in, but because she shouldn't have agreed to Xiao Qian's request regarding the Military Advisor. Sooner or later, there would be a fight between Xiao Qian and Ah Xun. How could she help Xiao Qian fight against Ah Xun?!

However, before they even entered the camp, the sound of a battle had interrupted Eastern Ling Wan's thoughts. Dong Ling Wan came back to her senses and saw that one of the two was Elder Brother Dong Xuan. What had happened?

Dong Ling Wan looked around, and just as she saw her brother walking over with a face filled with worry, Dong Ling Wan immediately walked up to him. Brother, what's wrong with those two? When did big brother Yuan Xuan come? And why did you fight with Patrol Officer?

Dong Yi Chuan shook his head and pushed her back, It's fine, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Let's stay away.

Big brother, don't lie to me, why would you cut a knife into my neck in a spar? What's going on? Even though Dong Ling Wan didn't understand it, she had seen how Xiao Qian and Mu Rong Ling fought with their eyes red before. The battle was even more intense than before, and she had seen them as enemies.

Dong Yichuan turned around and looked: Ah! It was even more real! Don't worry, the two of them know their limits.

Eastern Ling Wan pushed him away, Are you still here to watch the show!? If he didn't open up the two of them, what else could he do? Hurry up."

Dong Ling Wan pushed Dong Yi Chuan away with all her might, and Dong Yi Chuan reluctantly stepped forward with his sword. Nalan Shi walked up to him with a puzzled expression. Do the two of them have a grudge?

Eastern Ling Wan rubbed her head, Why did the two of them start fighting? Did you see that?

If you don't know that guy, look for Inspector Xiao. If you see him, pull out your sword and start attacking him. I don't even have the time to interrupt him, do you want to ask me?

Call as soon as you enter? Indeed, all kinds of sparring were fake!

Nalan Jie Shi suddenly remembered something and added: The two of them even argued for a bit, but what did they say … Ah Si, do you recognize him? "

A'Si? Dong Ling Wan's heart skipped a beat. What happened to A Four?

In a moment of desperation, Dong Ling Wan didn't care about the situation between men and women and grabbed Nalan Shi's sleeve: Tell me clearly, what happened to A'Si?

If I knew, I would have told you.

As this scene played out in front of Xiao Yan's eyes, he was momentarily stunned and was forced back a few steps by Dong Yichuan's palm. At this moment, Eastern Ling Wan hastily ran over with her skirt in hand. When Nalan Ling saw her like this, he blurted out without thinking: Don't run so fast, what should we do if you knock on it?

His words were mixed with a bit of helplessness and intimacy. After saying that, Nalan Yanshi was stunned. What was he doing? Why did he suddenly start worrying about Eastern Lingwan?

Apart from Xiao Yan, no one else was interested in these words. They glanced at Nalan Jie Shi with a deep look in their eyes.

What's wrong with you two? Do you want to die? Dong Ling Wan stepped forward, scolded him, and was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She panted heavily, Speak, what happened to A'Si?

Dong Yi Chuan's pupils contracted as he looked at Nalan Shi. Nalan Shi seemed to be at a loss when he saw that Nalan Shi seemed like he was about to eat someone. 'Could it be that I did something wrong?'

However, Nalan Yanshi was not a small soldier. He would be scared by Dong Yichuan's glare and directly raised his head to meet his gaze. Dong Yichuan flung his sleeves in anger and put his hands behind his back.

Can any of you tell me what's going on?

Song Jingyu was like a furious lion as he pointed at Xiao Xun and said, You let him tell you his good deeds.

Dong Ling turned around and looked at Xiao Xun, who frowned and said nervously: I …

Dong Yi Chuan hastily stepped forward to stop him. It's not a big deal. Ah Si just wants …

Enough!

Dong Ling Wan let out a warm roar, and the few of them stopped talking at the same time. Don't just look at her usually weak and weak appearance that was easy to bully. In reality, if she became angry, she couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Big brother Yuan Xuan, go ahead.

Song Jingyu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Dong Yi Chuan, Wan'Er, you and your brother must promise not to get excited after hearing it.

Dong Ling Wan's heart chilled as she looked at Dong Yi Chuan. She then saw him point at Patrol Officer Xiao and said, This bastard asked Ah Si to send him to Jincheng.

Jincheng City? Dong Ling Wan didn't understand what was going on, so she turned around to ask Patrol Officer Xiao, Where is that place?

After staring at Dong Ling Wan for a long time, he mumbled, Jincheng City has my lynching place.

The private punishment office was a place used to pry open the mouths of those who died. The 72 punishments were cruel and bloody, causing one to be unable to beg for life or death. Having suffered so much and still able to save a person's life, there had never been a death warrior who could clench his teeth and endure more than ten punishments. This was what Dong Ling Wan had read in her books.

Dong Ling Wan looked at Xiao Xun in disbelief: This … isn't true, is it?

Wan, listen to my explanation … I just didn't want her to spend her good years on me again. I didn't expect her to... "

CHAPTER 103 - HOW COULD I HAVE TAKEN A FANCY TO SUCH A WOMAN?

Unexpectedly? First tell me, what happened to A'Si?

Dong Ling Wan's voice trembled. There was a description of the seventy-two sentences in the book. Dong Ling Wan didn't dare to continue reading until she had read half of them. Ah Four was so innocent, she didn't even dare to imagine how her Ah Four could accept such a dark and bloody thing!

Although Song Jingyi often traveled in the martial arts world and treated him as a female hero, she was actually protected by the people of the house of the Marquis. She was a straightforward person. She seemed to be very good at causing trouble and had a lot of courage, but in reality, when she saw blood, she was even more scared than Eastern Lingwan.

The three of them were silent. Dong Ling Wan looked at Song Jingyu and asked: Where is she? I'll go find her.

Wan, you've only just recovered, you can't …

Inspector Xiao, stay away from me!

As Dong Ling Wan said this, she ran away. Patrol Officer Xiao wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Dong Yi Chuan. In the end, Dong Yi Chuan was slapped away by Patrol Officer Xiao.

He knew that if he didn't chase after her and explain everything to her, it would only become harder for her to forgive him in the future. But explain what? It was because he was in too much of a hurry and did not have enough time to think.

But, Wan, why can't you understand what I'm thinking? No matter what, I know that person is Ah Four, how could he be impulsive and not care about friendship?

Just as Dong Ling Wan rushed into the tent, Patrol Officer Xiao followed and hugged her tightly from behind. With a tone of panic that he had never heard before, he said, Wan, I'm sorry, I was wrong.

Dong Ling Wan was suddenly grabbed by him, and was startled, then struggled with her life on the line: Xiao Xun, let go of me, are you crazy? Let me go."

I'm crazy! Wan, I can't stand for you to be nice to others. I can't stand for others to occupy your heart. I thought I could stand it. I thought I could see your happiness from a distance. But, Wan, I've already given my heart back. How could it be easy to take it back?"

Wan, do you know how panicked I am? When I saw you looking for him, I felt like I was going crazy. I was so scared of the obstacles between us.

DongLing Wan fell silent. In the end, it was her who had caused Ah Xun's unease. What right did she have to blame him?

The commotion caused by the two of them had alarmed the guards outside. They thought that something had happened to the two of them, so they wanted to enter. However, they didn't expect to be sent flying by Inspector Xiao's palm.

Dong Ling Wan took the chance to push him away, and looked at Xiao Xun in disbelief, Are you here to kill someone? Then you might as well kill me too!

Xiao Xun looked at the empty space in his embrace and looked at the panicking Dong Ling Wan who had run away, at a loss of what to do. He tried to walk towards her, but Dong Ling Wan immediately retreated a few steps. Don't come near me.

Fine, I'm not going. Wan, will you listen to my explanation?

Explain what? Inspector, the three of us grew up together, and we have so many years of love. You really can't bear to treat Ah Four like that!"

It was a treasure that Dong Ling Wan had meticulously protected for many years. She did not want the piece of white jade to be tainted, but what Xiao Xun had done was like slashing a knife into the treasure she held in her hand. The treasure had shattered, and her hand was also injured.

Eastern Ling Wan's words stabbed his heart like a sharp knife, and he regretted it. He had thought about it, but it was too late when he regretted it. He was afraid of what would happen today, so he kept it a secret and didn't dare to let her know. However, Dong Ling Wan's next sentence made him completely flustered: Inspector Ah, we're so good, how can you bear to see us like this? Do you know how scared I am? One day, will you also send me in?

I won't! How could that be? She was someone he wanted to protect for the rest of his life! Xiao Xun tried his best to keep his tone even as he replied, That won't happen, Wan. I assure you, Ah Si is fine.

Hearing that, Eastern Ling Wan finally let go of her guard, and quickly replied: Ah Si, she's fine, she didn't see anything. It's just that when she saw the blood, it reminded her of what happened that year.

Back then, Eastern Ling Wan couldn't help but think back to the kidnapping when she was eleven years old.

At that time, Dong Ling Wan was eleven years old and Song Jingyi was nine years old. Someone tried to kidnap Dong Ling Wan and accidentally kidnapped her as well. The matter was exposed and the bandit wanted to threaten them with their lives.

Patrol Officer Xiao, who was only twelve years old, went with his troops to rescue the bandits. He had been suspected of attracting that person's attention, and had secretly arranged for archers to kill the bandits. Who would have thought that the bandits would actually escape?

In a moment of desperation, Xiao Xun shot the person under the head with his gun at the age of twelve. Dong Ling had lost all her strength. She had fainted before and did not see any of this. Song Jingyi, who was only nine years old, watched a person die in front of her eyes.

Warm blood gushed out from her neck and splashed into her eyes. Her vision turned blood-red …

Since then, Song Jingyi did not like to talk. She ignored everyone and no matter how many people tried to comfort her, it would be useless. It had been like this for half a year now. Helpless, the old marquis arranged a martial arts lesson for Song Jingyi. He let her go to the Jianghu and forced her to accept everything. Afterwards, Song Jingyi gradually returned to her original appearance. It was just that she could not see blood anymore, nor could she see life.

Wan, I'm sorry, but everything has already happened. Ah Si just needs to be taken care of. I didn't mean to do this. I will think of a way to make it up to her. Please don't treat me like this, okay? She won't forgive me. Wan, you're the only one left. Don't be so estranged from me.

Xiao Xun suddenly went forward and hugged Dong Ling Wan. He never thought that he would actually want to play a relationship game with Wan, but he didn't want to think of a way to soften her heart. He was afraid that he wouldn't have the chance in the future. Because the person he dreaded the most was currently in the same place as him and her.

There wasn't just one savior of Dong Ling Wan's, Xiao Qian was the one she cared the most about.

Eastern Ling Wan was a cold-blooded person, and was especially lenient towards people she recognized. People who had nothing to do with her could just watch them die, and she was such a proud person, she closed her door twice without any temper at all. He even brought people to barge in just to see Xiao Qian!

Xiao Xun knew that it wasn't because that person was her savior, but because that person was Xiao Qian. If it was anyone else, even if that person was her savior, she would immediately fall out with him.

She had taken a fancy to Xiao Qian, and even had a place in her heart! Inspector Xiao didn't dare to think any further. He couldn't afford to lose to Wan. If he lost, then everything would be gone.

I … Dong Ling Wan was startled, but Xiao Xun held her tighter. Dong Ling frowned and pushed him away, then stepped back. Ah Xun, you scared me.

The two of them just stood there in silence until Eastern Ling Wan's voice rang out, You, go back first. Let me stay by myself for a while.

Xiao Xun knew that it was useless to say anything more, so he could only reply, Okay.

When Xiao Xun left, Dong Ling Wan didn't notice the sadness and loneliness in his eyes. A'Si can't keep deceiving himself and living like that, can he? Had he really done something wrong? Wan, why can't you understand me?

Even back then, when he had made the decision, he had known that A-Wan might not understand him and that Ah Si might hate him. However, he really couldn't let the relationship between the three of them develop in a direction that no one dared to imagine.

Yang Zhe shook his sleeves as he entered the tent. Xiao Qian was still leaning on the bed. Seeing him enter, he pointed to a nearby chair and said, Sit.

Yang Zhe didn't sit down and asked, You're letting her go so quickly?

Xiao Qian smiled and looked at him helplessly, I still haven't asked why you let her in, but you asked me first!? If not earlier, then later, and not later, but you still want to remove the gauze on my hands today, you have already planned it all! "

Yang Qing smiled and declined to comment. After a long while, he said, Since you have guessed my intentions, you will not let me down! Right now, Eastern Ling Wan is no ordinary person. What benefits have she swindled?"

Xiao Qian, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. It won't be long before this prince has another female Military Advisor by my side.

Yang Qing raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Would such a shrewd woman like Dong Ling Wan agree to his unreasonable request?

Actually, this matter was outside Xiao Qian's expectations. This request of his was something that Eastern Ling Wan had agreed to! Thinking of the worry in her eyes, Xiao Qian laughed dryly. No matter what, he was becoming more and more important to her, wasn't he? Thus, although his injuries were this severe, it was worth it.

You're in too much of a hurry!

There's no hurry, her emotions are too cold. She has to stay warm. Xiao Qian sighed, and after a few coughs, his face turned even paler. Yang Qing thought that it was time for him to rest, but Xiao Qian didn't seem to have any intentions of resting and continued, Petite, how did I fall for this kind of woman?

It was like asking Yang Qing, but also like asking himself, why?

Because of the memories of his youth? No.

At that time, to him, she was nothing more than a passing cloud. He was used to cheating. He was used to scheming and scheming. He wouldn't feel the slightest bit of uneasiness or guilt because he had cheated her.

And for what?

Perhaps it was because he had read over ten years of her life and gotten used to her life, so he wanted to walk with her.

Why else? It couldn't be his appearance.

He had seen so many beauties in this world. He had seen the elegant and refined one; he had seen the beautiful one; he had seen the gentle and dignified one; he had seen the suave one; she was not special one.

He might not be the emperor, but as long as he hooked his fingers, what kind of woman would he want? But when faced with Eastern Ling Wan, he learned to take her feelings into consideration for the first time. For the first time, he put down his pride to find someone. For the first time, he went soft to coax someone.

How many years had he been so used to being calm and collected, yet this was the first time he had been angered by her. Just a casual glance from her was enough to make him confused.

When did he develop feelings for her? He didn't know. Perhaps it was just as the old saying said: the feelings don't know what to do, but go deeper and deeper.

He had thought that he would be alone for the rest of his life, but she had appeared so unexpectedly and naturally. Every movement of hers was affecting his heart, making him happy, worried, angry, and feeling that his heart was not his.

Yang Qing looked at him without saying a word.

This sort of thing wasn't something that the onlookers would always know about. Xiao Qian and Dong Ling Wan were the best examples. How could two equally proud people be easy to get along with? He couldn't figure out Xiao Qian's thoughts. When it came to matters like emotions, he could only experience them personally. He couldn't empathize with him.

Xiao Qian didn't expect Yang Zhe to answer him and asked again, Zhongxing, you've always disapproved of me and her. Why are you helping me now?

Because of Miss Xue. Yang Zhe answered in his heart.

At that time, when the troops were transferred, he had transferred twice as many troops as Xiao Qian had instructed, because he had originally planned to retaliate against Inspector Xiao after defeating Mu Rong Ling and take him down in one fell swoop.

Xiao Xun held a great deal of importance in Dong Ling Wan's heart. Killing him would make Dong Ling Wan hate Xiao Qian. He didn't believe that Xiao Qian would willingly be humiliated by her. Moreover, a woman like Eastern Ling Wan might not love him to the point of explosion, but she would definitely hate him to the core.

Everything had gone according to plan, but things had changed and this matter had been delayed. However, after what happened, Xiao Qian's craziness and fragility reminded him of what he had said when he had been admiring the snow …

CHAPTER 104 - RELIEVING BOREDOM

I'm afraid that it was Lord Yang's own intention to transfer troops, right? The melodious voice rang in his ears, carrying a smile that seemed to be able to see through everything. She was clearly just a servant girl, but she gave others an inexplicable feeling of nobility that not even the young mistresses of the clan could compare to.

This woman gave him a feeling like … Eastern Ling Wan!

Yang Qing looked up at Xue Qing's cold eyes: So what? Don't forget who your master is. Dong Ling Wan is a disaster, do you want me to watch as she destroys Xiao Qian?

Yang Qing had always known that admiring the snow was not an ordinary woman, and the respect in his heart for her was naturally sincere.

Glowing Snow looked at him and only faintly smiled. So what if you are a calamity? All the disputes in the world are because of her. Rivers and mountains have always been chaotic because of her, and being proud and noble like her should be pursued and admired.

The so-called 'beauty disaster country' is nothing more than an excuse for the emperor to lose his mind. He used the hat of 'beauty disaster country' to tie down the emperor's feelings. If master has never met his mistress, he might be a carefree prince, or a lonely king. But heaven's will can't let them gather together, that's not something we can change.

Master Yang, you said that you could smile for Bo Hongyan and would not hesitate to betray the world. However, if you really want Young Miss to hate him to the core, even if Master has betrayed the world, you still cannot make Young Miss smile.

Yang Qing was glad that this matter didn't give him the opportunity to carry out his plan. After this change, he clearly saw how important Dong Ling Wan was in Xiao Qian's heart. He wasn't afraid of Xiao Qian staining the world with his blood. Rather, he was afraid of him almost ruining his relationship with Xiao Qian.

In the past, he had always felt that there was something missing from Xiao Qian's body. He felt that he was incomplete. But now, he understood that it was love and light.

In the past, Xiao Qian lived purely to live. Even though he suffered later on, he at least knew why he couldn't die. It was because, ever since he was a child, his blood and kinship was weaker than water, and he finally fell in love with a person. And he had almost destroyed Xiao Gan's light.

After Dong Yi Chuan's repeated promises, Dong Ling Wan finally gave up on the idea of going back to see Song Jingyi. Song Jingyi was now staying in Dongyi Chuan's military camp. It seemed like she had returned to the time when she was nine years old. However, she didn't dare to say anything to DongLing Wan because she needed to recuperate.

Xiao Xun and Nalan Shi Shi were still very busy every day. Thinking about it, it wouldn't be that easy to find him in Hierarch Murong's territory. However, every day, Xiao Yan would stand in front of the tent and watch them from afar or loiter in front of the tent. This caused Eastern Ling Wan to gradually lose her temper. But she didn't want to see him, and she didn't dare to leave the tent for fear of embarrassment.

Hearing the distant sound of hooves, Eastern Ling Wan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Standing at the entrance of the camp, she watched Xiao Yan's departing figure, her heart always heavy. She was angry and conflicted, but why was she still guilty?

Compared to the previous few times, this time, when Dong Ling Wan came to Xiao Qian's camp, no one dared to stop her. When she arrived at the entrance, the two guards immediately opened the tent flap. It seemed that Xiao Qian had received the news the moment she stepped into the army camp. However, when she stood in front of the tent, she still called out, Your Highness, Ling Wan has entered.

After being silent for a few days, Eastern Ling Wan suddenly remembered that she hadn't come to see Xiao Qian in three days. It was normal for him to not come for a day, but it was also acceptable for him to not come for two days. If he didn't come for three days, it would be a little heartless. He hurriedly packed himself up and rushed over.

However, once she entered the military camp and thought of the good deed she had done last time, she felt a little guilty. It would be very bitter if she fed each spoonful of medicine one after another, wouldn't it?

There was no response from inside. Dong Ling Wan took a step forward and saw Xiao Qian leaning on the couch, a chess set in front of him. The first thing that came to Ling Wan's mind was to find out if there was any wine nearby, but luckily, she wasn't able to find any.

Xiao Qian smiled at her while holding the chess piece, Come sit down and play with me for the next round.

Dong Ling Wan sighed, then said earnestly, Playing chess is hard on you, your highness. It's better for you to rest.

You don't know, I'm so bored. Xiao Qian's tone was flat and unhurried, but the last word dragged on a long note. Adding on his weak voice, it sounded like he was complaining about his grievances.

Dong Ling Wan found it funny. Usually, this person would look serious and independent, but once he became ill, he would seem like a different person. He was even more delicate and charming than a girl!

Your Highness still has to take care of your body. After all, your body is more important than anything.

Xiao Qian looked a little unhappy, but he still put the chess piece back into the board. Dong Ling Wan smiled as she walked up with the chess board and the chess box, placing them on a table far away from Xiao Qian's reach.

Xiao Qian looked at her as if he was seeking a debt. Since you've taken away my chess piece, you have to take responsibility for relieving me.

Relieved? Eastern Ling Wan had never been bored before, how could she help him?

Even if it was the last time she was in the Northwest Army Camp, she would only be very unhappy because she was locked up like a prisoner. But if she really had to stay alone, she could stay.

Then why don't we... Ling Wan will recite it for your highness?

After saying that, Dong Ling Wan regretted her decision. This wasn't something that the teacher would do, it wasn't something like reciting books. It couldn't be that he'd be so annoyed that he'd fall asleep just from carrying on his back, right?

She was the one who helped her big brother pass every time his father asked her to do some homework. Every time that happened, her big brother would ask her to help him with his homework, and before she could even memorize half of it for him, he fell asleep.

They all said that she was boring. If she were to carry Xiao Qian on her back and fall asleep today, she would truly feel awkward. Just as Dong Ling Wan was about to change her name, Xiao Qian gave a faint Okay and then closed his eyes.

Eastern Ling Wan found it the hardest to say anything else. She answered him once, then slowly began to carry him on her back, occasionally adding a few lines of her own opinion.

Her voice was very soft, not too fast or too slow, as if she was mumbling to herself. Although the book was a bit stiff, it was fortunate that her tone was not the same.

The room was quiet, but it didn't seem boring at all. Of course, Dong Ling Wan wasn't sure and would look at Xiao Qian after a while. If he didn't interrupt occasionally, anyone would think she was asleep.

He looked at Xiao Qian's side profile and saw that his face was still deathly pale. Xiao Qian's brows relaxed as he smiled. After putting everything down, the gentle feeling hidden deep within his bones and blood was instantly revealed without a doubt.

She had read many words in those eyes — gentle, cold, teasing, gentle, arrogant, noble, pampered, sullen — but she had never seen those two words before — ambition.

Who could believe it? The Qi King, the strongest among the Great Ye, had no ambition in his eyes!

Without ambition, why fight?

Xiao Qian closed his eyes and breathed slowly, trying his best to prevent Dong Ling Wan from discovering his abnormality. Even with her eyes closed, he could feel the gaze of Dong Ling Wan on him. What was she looking at? What was she thinking? He didn't know.

He only knew that the only thing he should do now was not to disturb her.

Dong Ling Wan withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Qian's calm face before sighing softly. Indeed, she had carried another person to sleep. Who would have thought that just as she was preparing to leave without opening her eyes, his voice came from behind. Are you tired?

Was he not asleep?

Eastluck shook her head. No. It's just that it's getting late, so I won't disturb Your Highness' rest any longer.

Xiao Qian narrowed his eyes as he looked outside, It's getting late. Why don't we stay for dinner?

Eastern Ling Wan looked at him, then smiled faintly. Fine.

Xiao Qian was currently recuperating and could only eat soft items. Although there weren't any good attacks in the military camp, he still had the same medicine list. Eastern Ling Wan frowned as she looked at him. After Xue Shi and her men were set up, she left. Dong Ling Wan scooped out a bowl of porridge and handed it over to Xiao Qian, but Xiao Qian didn't move.

Dong Ling Wan knew that she had to feed him again, but he couldn't carry the bowl even if he took the chess piece? Perhaps the bowl was too heavy? Eastern Lingwan had come up with an excuse for him, but he wouldn't lose his temper with her.

There were only a few spoonfuls of the porridge in the bowl, but Xiao Qian had no intention of eating the second bowl. Dong Ling Wan was startled. She frowned and asked, Are you full now?

Xiao Qian shook his head helplessly, I still need to drink some medicine.

Oh! Eastern Ling Wan replied with an 'oh'. She lowered her head to look at the porridge in her bowl, but didn't put the spoon into her mouth even after lifting it three times. With the supplementary medicine in the congee, it wouldn't be a problem for her to eat it, but the taste wouldn't be any better.

Dong Ling Wan raised her head and looked pitifully at Xiao Qian. Unfortunately, Xiao Qian's expression was calm, so it was obvious that he wasn't moved. Dong Ling Wan could only eat with difficulty.

You have something on your mind. Not a question, but a certainty.

Nope. Dong Ling Wan said coolly.

My mood is written all over my face. Xiao Qian helplessly looked at her, There are some things that shouldn't be kept in your heart. There are also some things that you have to face when it happens.

Eastern Ling Wan looked up at him once, then lowered her head and continued to stir the porridge with the spoon.

If you find them too annoying, then come and recite them for me often.

Thank you, Your Highness.

How could he not be annoyed?

It was a war without smoke. Everyone who participated was her closest kin, and she stood in the middle, looking so annoyed that she wanted to throw a tantrum. She didn't want to meet any of the people over there. In comparison, it was simply too quiet.

As if stuck a little bit, just after EastLing Wan finished eating, appreciation of the snow brought in medicine.

Dong Ling Wan slowly stirred it with her spoon until it became cold. Xiao Qian teased her and asked, Are you still going to feed it to me like last time?

Dong Ling Wan's face reddened, but she still had a smile on her face. She picked up the spoon and scooped up a spoonful, Your Highness, drink some medicine!

Xiao Gan looked at her with a smile on his face. He opened his mouth slightly, but couldn't find the spoon in Dong Ling Wan's hand no matter what. After a long period of stalemate, Eastern Ling Wan put down her spoon. Your Highness is magnanimous, how can you argue with a little girl like Ling Wan?

Xiao Qian teased him even more as he shook his head and sighed, That day, why didn't this little girl know that her heart was a little wider? She even had a grudge with a patient like me?

CHAPTER 105 - BEAUTY SHANG

Xiao Qian's words made Dong Ling Wan feel guilty again. After he finished speaking, he squeezed his good-looking brows and complained, It must be really hard on you.

Dong Ling Wan forced a smile as she put on a reserved smile. She then handed the bowl to Xiao Qian, and the bowl of medicine quickly slid down his throat. There was medicinal juice flowing down the corner of his lips. Eastern Lingwan quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it off for him. Little by little, she was extremely serious.

Xiao Qian looked at her with a smile. Eastern Ling Wan looked at his smile and froze for a moment. Xiao Qian reached out his hand to slowly shake hers. Suddenly, Eastern Ling Wan felt her body stiffen as she snapped out of her daze and hurriedly jumped away.

Xiao Qian's hand froze on the spot, but Dong Ling Wan didn't give him any awkward time. She stuffed a paper bag into his hand and said, Save up on food. He quickly ran out of the tent.

Xiao Qian frowned as he watched her figure disappear. He then opened the oil paper bag in curiosity. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the bag of candy lotus seeds. He felt bitter but not afraid of it. What was this girl giving him a bag of preserves?

He was a man. He needed to drink some medicine and eat candied fruits. If he told others, he would be laughed out of his wits. However, preserves were a rarity in the army camp, but only Eastern Lingwan had some stock in the camp. With that girl's fear of suffering, it wasn't easy for her to give him some of it.

It didn't seem good to fail to live up to her expectations. Looking at the buns, Xiao Qian was at a loss …

After returning, Eastern Lingwan was still unable to calm down. What happened to her? Every time he looked at Xiao Qian, he would flee in panic. This was an extremely bad feeling.

For five consecutive days, Eastern Ling Wan didn't dare to go see Xiao Qian. On the sixth day, not long after breakfast, Eastern Ling Wan suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves. When he walked out of the door, he saw Patrol of Xiao and Nalan Shi passing by the entrance of the tent.

Dong Ling Wan frowned. She suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart. It was depressing, and very uncomfortable. Her intuition told her that something big was about to happen.

It was only when Dong Ling Wan sent someone to investigate that she found out a man had barged into the army camp alone. He was most likely the descendant of the Mu Rong family that they had been looking for.

Dong Ling Wan was startled. There was no need to say anything else. The only person who could make the two of them so nervous was Mu Rong Ling Zun.

Eastern Ling Wan became nervous: Quickly! Bring me to Lady Yue!"

When Dong Ling Wan came in, Yue Wan was drinking by herself. When he saw her enter, he was slightly startled before he smiled and said, Damn brat, you're finally willing to meet your savior.

Dong Ling Wan wasn't in the mood to joke around with her, and said with a serious face, Mu Rong Ling Zun is here.

The smile on Yue Wan's face froze, and she closed her eyes with a wry smile. Dong Ling Wan took a hairpin from her head and handed it to her, saying calmly: Let's go, I'll bring you to see him.

Yue Wan lowered her head to look at the hairpin. She understood that Eastluck wanted to kidnap her. He smiled helplessly and looked at her. Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?

You will?

Yue Wan didn't say anything, nor did she follow him. She just sat in front of the mirror and carefully tied up her black hair. She gently stroked her own face, looking at the reflection of Dong Ling Wan's figure in the copper mirror. Dong Ling Wan, am I beautiful?

Beautiful, beautiful to the extreme. Just like the conversation when they first met, just like the impression they had when they first met. Cold as autumn water, beautiful to the point of being unfathomable.

In this world, there was no one more beautiful than her.

Yue Wan Liang stood up, smiling. I don't want to do that to you.

Then I'll send you out. Dong Ling Wan placed the tip of the hairpin onto her throat. She felt that she had gone crazy. She didn't know what she was obsessed with.

Yue Wan's cold eyes dimmed a little. She lifted her hand to caress her face. Silly girl!

Dong Ling smiled gently. "If we were
