"However, I still have to remind you. Colluding with the Lord of Sand City... will not end well. His Majesty has already noticed his strange behavior."

Xue Huai'an knew about this, but he loved walking a tightrope. Having seemingly tasted success with Kang Lin's scheme, he increasingly felt that the greater the risk, the greater the reward.

"If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Xue Huai'an gave her a deep look, then left without looking back.

Qin Su didn't mind; she needed to change her clothes. The maid's clothes were never very comfortable to wear.

As soon as she returned to her room, she was embraced tightly.

"What's wrong?" Qin Su patted his back, her voice much gentler.

"Susu went out without me!" he complained bitterly.

"I'll definitely do it next time."

"Let me go, I need to wash up."

Yu Shuo obediently let go, his eyes red.

This sight instantly struck Qin Su's heart.

Yu Shuo was undoubtedly handsome; he was more handsome than Emperor Mingyang. Even when he was gentle with her, he never looked so aggrieved. He preferred to keep everything to himself, keeping everything hidden in his heart.

Sometimes Qin Su really didn't like him like this, but she could only try to figure it out slowly.

Yu Shuo is just so, so lovable!

I want to kiss you!

I want him to get better, but right now I don't want him to get better so quickly.

Qin Su cupped his face in her hands and kissed him, captivated by his good looks.

I'm completely captivated.

Yu Shuo blinked, showing no sign of dislike.

His father and mother had done the same thing before. He asked his mother about it, and she said that only husband and wife could do that.

Since he and Susu are husband and wife, there's nothing wrong with it.

It just feels so strange.

I feel warm all over.

Fortunately, Qin Su came to her senses. She struggled to cover Yu Shuo's eyes, pushed him into the inner room, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I'm going to wash up."

She practically fled in panic.

Sitting in the bathtub, Qin Su's head was buzzing. How could she do such a thing to Yu Shuo now?

He's thinking like a child!

But... his body is that of an adult.

But……

But he is her husband!

Qin Su was fed up and decided to sink herself into the water to clear her head.

After washing up, Qin Su didn't go to see Yu Shuo; instead, she went straight to find Luo Zhi.

"Why is your hair still wet, sister?" Luo Zhi quickly snatched the handkerchief that Lian Tao had prepared. "I'll dry your hair for you."

Qin Su pressed her hand down and said, "Do me a favor. The consultation fee includes this person."

Luo Zhi was pulled along by Qin Su until they arrived in front of Yu Shuo. "See if you can cure him. Try to do it as quickly as possible."

Luo Zhi and Yu Shuo completely disliked each other, but because Qin Su was present, they gave her face and strangely maintained a peaceful atmosphere.

She placed her hand on Yu Shuo's wrist and said nonchalantly, "It's just a head injury, nothing serious."

She could tell at the auction that this person wasn't born an idiot, but Qin Su didn't say anything then, and she didn't want to meddle.

"How long will it take to cure him?" Qin Su asked anxiously.

"If it's conservative treatment, someone should have told my sister that it will take at least a few months."

Qin Su frowned slightly; they couldn't stay outside for so long. Especially since she really wanted to go back and see Nannan.

"If we put him into a deep sleep for treatment, it will be faster. I estimate it will take about half a month."

Will it harm my body?

Qin Su still cared about this.

If it harms the body, wouldn't that be penny-wise and pound-foolish?

Qin Su could only secretly send a message to the capital, asking Emperor Mingyang to arrange for Yu Shuo to return quietly without appearing in public.

Luo Zhi gave a spoiled snort, "Of course not. Who am I! I'm the Poison Master Luo Zhi! Don't worry, sister! As for the reward, I'll ask him for it."

She pointed her fair, delicate finger at Yu Shuo.

Yu Shuo looked completely bewildered.

What do you want?

"I haven't decided yet, but don't worry, sister, what I want won't be beyond what you can accept."

It would be a huge waste for them to drift apart over such a trivial matter.

"As for the reward for the antidote, I want my sister to take me everywhere! I'll be wherever my sister is! My sister can't send me away!"

Qin Su hesitated.

"Sister doesn't want to?"

Luo Zhi felt somewhat aggrieved.

Those medicines were very expensive, but she didn't ask her sister for money.

"That's not the case. It's just that the ingredients for making the antidote must be expensive. Just eating, drinking, and having fun with me probably won't be enough."

Luo Zhi's eyes lit up, and her braids bounced with her joy. "No! I don't need money! I don't need that kind of thing."

Qin Su could only comply with her, but made it clear beforehand that Luo Zhi could not harm anyone without her permission.

Only after agreeing to Qin Su's request was the matter considered settled.

Yu Shuo didn't say a word throughout the entire process; it seemed that quietly watching Qin Su handle affairs was a habit ingrained in his bones.

Luo Zhi prescribed medicine, including a decoction and a medicinal bath. After he took the bath, she would administer acupuncture to Yu Shuo.

During this period, Qin Su was constantly running between the two places.

Three days later, Chongyang came to find Qin Su and said that Prince Tuoba had woken up.

But he was very weak, as if the demon had drained his yang energy.

He looked at Qin Su, his voice hoarse and dry, "Did you save me?"

Qin Su nodded. "How are you feeling?"

"I don't have much strength." He was not used to his body like this, but he was extremely lucky to have survived, so he couldn't complain.

"The doctor said you need to rest well and there's no rush. So now you can reveal your identity, right?"

Without hesitation, he nodded. "My name is Tuoba Yan, a name given to me by your Emperor of Da'an from the Central Plains."

A smile appeared on his pale face. "I really like Da'an. I always thought about coming to Da'an to have some fun, but who knew that I would be found by that man after only a short time."

Tuoba Yan was very distressed by this, but there was nothing he could do.

He realized that his running away from home had caused trouble for the Da'an royal family.

"Tuoba Yan? Where do you rank in Quegu?"

She looks very young.

Tuoba Yan said, "I am ranked seventh, and I am the youngest prince."

"Thank you so much for this. I will remember your kindness." He stood up shakily, but gently pushed away the guard who was supporting him.

Tuoba Yan clenched his left fist and placed it on his chest, then bowed to Qin Su.

Qin Su quickly waved her hand, "No need to thank me. You should understand that saving you is based on the fact that our two countries have friendly relations, and you cannot afford to have anything happen to you within Da'an territory."

That was said so bluntly that it was quite unpleasant to hear.

Tuoba Yan, however, did not care. "Reason is reason, and gratitude is gratitude. They should not be confused."

He is a truly insightful person.

"I'll be relying on you to take care of me from now on."

Chongyang coughed lightly from the side, "This is our princess."

Tuoba Yan smiled sheepishly, "Sorry, I'm still a bit groggy after just waking up."
