"But junior sister, do you really want to keep Ouyang Xue here?"

Chu Qingxuan shook her head.

"No, she'll probably leave as soon as she wakes up."

Lin Zhen asked in confusion, "Junior Sister, how did you know?"

"Just a guess."

Lin Zhen: "..."

Ouyang Xue woke up at night and found that her clothes had been changed.

She touched her clothes, her face pale; someone had taken off her clothes!

"You're awake?"

A light, melodious voice reached her ears. Ouyang Xue looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman dressed in white. The woman smiled slightly at her and asked, "How are you feeling?"

Ouyang Xue looked at Chu Qingxuan warily, "Who are you?"

"You don't know Chu Qingxuan."

Chu Qingxuan sat on a stool, her elbows resting on the stool in the room, her hand supporting her chin. "When my senior brother and I were passing through the woods outside the city, we found you lying on the ground, so we brought you back."

"However, the person carrying you is my senior brother, Lin Zhen."

Ouyang Xue pursed her lips and said in a flat tone, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

As they were talking, Lin Zhen pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that Ouyang Xue had woken up, he nodded to her.

Ouyang Xue nodded slightly. This must be the senior brother Lin Zhen that Chu Qingxuan mentioned.

"Junior sister, everything has been arranged over there. We'll go tomorrow."

Lin Zhen didn't say where he was going, and Chu Qingxuan knew that Lin Zhen was trying to hide Ouyang Xue and the others' identities.

Ouyang Xue also stood up and said, "I should leave too."

Chu Qingxuan looked at Ouyang Xue and didn't stop her. She believed that only by leaving could she meet the male lead, Feng Li.

After Ouyang Xue left, Lin Zhen finally sat down.

"Senior brother, can I talk to you about something?"

Lin Zhen raised an eyebrow. "Go ahead and speak."

Chu Qingxuan blinked and whispered, "Senior brother, I have something to do, so I won't be going to the palace?"

He knew it!

Lin Zhen raised an eyebrow and asked, "You don't want to go?"

Chu Qingxuan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her big eyes fixed on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen, feeling helpless under Chu Qingxuan's gaze, said, "Okay, but you're not allowed to go out and cause trouble."

"Okay, okay, I won't cause trouble!"

She never seeks out trouble unless trouble comes to her.

I'll be back early tonight.

"Thank you, senior brother~"

Lin Zhen stared at her with his eyes and said with a light laugh, "If you cause trouble, don't ask me to clean it up for you."

Chu Qingxuan smiled too, her beautiful eyes sparkling with innocence.

"I didn't cause any trouble~"

Lin Zhen exposed her words, "Then who took the blame for Master's medicinal herbs being destroyed before?"

Chu Qingxuan was unconvinced and retorted to Lin Zhen, "Then who secretly took Junior Master's pills to research them? Was it stolen? I'll say I took them!"

The two exchanged a glance, confirming with their eyes that one of them was the one who had taken the blame.

It was Gu Chang'an who got hurt.

Gu Chang'an is such a pitiful man.

Let's try to get along well.

The next morning, when Chu Qingxuan woke up, Lin Zhen had already entered the palace. She stretched and sat up, walked to the window, and saw people coming and going downstairs, with vendors hawking their wares, making it a lively scene.

A glint of shrewdness flashed in Chu Qingxuan's eyes. She left a note and went out of the inn.

After leaving the inn, Chu Qingxuan strolled along the street, buying any trinkets she liked, just like a little girl from the countryside.

"I heard that the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family has come back to life."

Chu Qingxuan overheard people discussing Ouyang Xue and subconsciously paid attention, listening intently to the rumors.

"Yes, I've heard about it too."
