This action stunned Nangong Qing. What was Prince Yu doing? Why was he holding Luo Luo?

However, now is not the time to dwell on this. He turned to Ye Beihan behind him and said, "Your Highness, as the envoy of Beiliang, it is time for me to see His Majesty today."

"Then I'll trouble the Third Prince to lead the way!"

Ye Beihan glanced at the three of them; their relationship was truly delicate. It seemed he needed to investigate Su Luo's identity thoroughly, as he might be able to use her for something.

Even if we can't kill Nangong Chiyu, disturbing his mind is still a good thing.

Chi Yi watched as the prince carried the princess out. He then ordered his men to clean up the area before reporting it to His Majesty.

Nangong Chiyu arrived on horseback, lifted Su Luo onto the horse's back, and the two rode together back to the capital.

"Prince Yu, thank you for coming to save me and Physician Du, but how did you know we were here?"

Nangong Chiyu took the reins from Su Luo's waist with his broad arm. He was very worried, but also a little angry, angry that Su Luo hadn't come to find him when something happened to her.

"Du Siyuan told me."

No wonder Su Luo was right about Si Yuan; he understood her meaning and was able to find them.

"Oh! But I still want to thank you today."

On the way back, Nangong Chiyu tried to drive slowly, afraid of touching Su Luo's wound and causing her pain.

"Su Luo, you can come to me if you need anything in the future. No matter what happens, I will help you. Don't bear the consequences alone if something happens."

"If something were to happen to you, like what happened today, what would happen to Yanchuan and Yihuan? They're still young and need you."

Su Luo didn't understand what Nangong Chiyu meant. Come to think of it, she and he weren't very familiar with each other.

Their interactions were nothing more than an exchange of benefits; he helped her carve words, and she gave him acupuncture. So why should he help her with everything?

"Okay! If I ever encounter any problems I can't solve in the future, I'll come to you."

Back at the Du residence, Xie Wanwan and Yi Huan were extremely worried when they saw that Su Luo was injured.

Yi Huan cried, "Mom, Yi Huan is so scared! So scared that you won't come back, waaaah..."

"Yi Huan, don't be afraid. Your mother is back. It was Prince Yu who saved you and Physician Du."

Yi Huan's eyes were filled with tears, but she still walked over to Nangong Chiyu and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Prince Yu, for saving my mother."

An An used a handkerchief to wipe away Yi Huan's tears before leaving.

"It's what I should do. Yi Huan, go back with Master Xie first. Let your mother go change her clothes. I have something to say to your mother."

Yi Huan bowed again: "Alright, Yi Huan will take her leave now."

Since Xie Wanwan got together with A Xu, she has felt that Prince Yu's treatment of Lady Su is quite special, and his care for Yi Huan seems a bit excessive.

"Prince Yu, Lady Su, we're going back now. Please take care of your wound."

Su Luo glanced at Nangong Chiyu, whose sleeves were covered in blood, and told him to sit in the hall and wait for her.

Du Xiuyuan and the others hadn't arrived home yet, but Yun Hui was relieved to hear that Prince Yu had rescued them all, and she instructed the servants to serve tea to Nangong Chiyu.

Su Luo quickly changed into a wide-sleeved long dress. She rarely wore this, but her arm was scratched, so wide sleeves made it easier to wear.

"Prince Yu, is there anything else you wish to say?"

Su Luo sat down next to him again. He was dressed in a black robe and had a very cold and aloof aura.

“Su Luo, Ye Beihan always says one thing and does another. It’s fortunate that he doesn’t know your identity as the Deputy Minister of Agriculture.”

"Yes, given his status, it shouldn't be difficult for him to investigate me."

Nangong Chiyu placed his hands on his knees; there was no need for him to hide it from Su Luo.

“I had someone conceal your identity. I blocked all the ways the people of Beiliang could find out. If Ye Beihan knew it was you, you wouldn’t have survived last night.”

Su Luo also became serious.

"You mean, Ye Beihan came to Nanning this time with the intention of killing me?"

"It's not entirely impossible. Without you, Beiliang and Nanning could still fight to a draw, but with you providing supplies and the second crop of rice, they were at a disadvantage."

He must hate you to the core. Given Ye Beihan's ruthless nature, he will definitely take action against you.

You and Yi Huan need to be careful from now on. I will also have people protecting you secretly.

If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have used local anesthesia for his surgery yesterday. She could have let him suffer to death. But it was a minor surgery, and with some anti-inflammatory medication, he would have recovered in a few days.

"Okay! Yi Huan and I will be careful."

After thinking for a moment, Nangong Chiyu still asked, "You said that Ye Beihan took you and Physician Du away to treat your illness, but I never knew he had any chronic illness?"

After fighting Ye Beihan for six years, Nangong Chiyu had not noticed anything unusual about his body. What exactly was wrong with him? Did he need to come to Nanning to find a doctor for treatment?

This disease was very sensitive for people in ancient times. There were two old women in the hall. Su Luo leaned on the tea table, put her head close to Jing Nangong Chiyu's ear, and gently told him about Ye Beihan's illness.

An awkward look flashed in his eyes before he returned to normal.

"So that's it. No wonder he always wore loose robes. He had such an embarrassing illness."

Su Luo nodded: "Actually, it's not really an illness. Besides, he threatened me with Doctor Du's life, so I performed the surgery on him. I didn't intentionally save your enemy."

Nangong Chiyu saved her, but she saved his enemy in return. In a way, Su Luo felt quite sorry for Nangong Chiyu.

"As long as you're alright, that's all that matters. I'll handle my own issues with Ye Beihan. Even without you, my relationship with him won't change anything."

Nangong Chiyu only left after Du Siyuan brought Du Xiuyuan to the Du residence.

"Now that you are all safe, it's time for me to go to the palace."

The entire Du Xiuyuan family came out to thank Nangong Chiyu, because it was because of him that Du Siyuan was able to rescue his father and grandmaster without much effort.

"Prince Yu, for the sake of the alliance between our two countries, His Majesty will certainly not punish Ye Beihan too severely. You should know this and not be too demanding."

Su Luo saw that he was very angry today, and since enemies are always particularly hostile when they meet, Su Luo gave him a heads-up beforehand not to anger the Holy Face.

Su Luo followed him to the gate to give him instructions, just like a worried wife who had come to tell him on her own.

This scene warmed Nangong Chiyu's heart, and he suddenly felt as if he was no longer alone.

They felt a sense of belonging and had people to protect.

"I know what I'm doing!"

When they returned, the whole family showered Su Luo and Du Xiuyuan with concern, especially Du Xiuyuan. Du Siyuan carefully took his pulse and only felt relieved after confirming that the poison in his body had been neutralized.

“Old Du, Ba Dou is dead. I’m really scared this time. If you don’t come back, I’ll go with you.”

Yunhui has been unable to eat or sleep for the past two days, fearing that something might happen to Du Xiuyuan.

You're saying Croton is dead?

Du Xiuyuan never expected Ye Beihan to be so ruthless. He had already kidnapped him, but why did he have to kill Ba Dou? He was just a child.

“Yes! Fortunately you’re back. I’ll have someone give Ba Dou’s family more money as compensation,” Yun Hui said.
