Xie Lingqin's usually calm face was now strangely beautiful.

Is this the menstrual blood of ancient women?

So, is this why she's been feeling restless and experiencing lower abdominal pain these past few days?

The key is menstrual cloth!

Do you want to save face or save substance?

This is a problem.

Before the problem could be resolved, Xie Lingqin suddenly rushed to the bed and flung open the bed curtains.

There was no blood on the bed.

She clearly sat down just now, but there was no blood. Why? Judging from the bloodstains on her hands, it's impossible...

Could it be—

Xie Lingqin's mind was truly reeling.

The person who secretly fought her just now...

hehe!

Should she laugh, or should she laugh, or should she laugh?

"Purple River".

Xie Lingqin gritted her teeth and finally called out.

She wants substance.

As soon as Zihe appeared at the door, Xie Lingqin coldly ordered, "Prepare menstrual pads for me."

"Miss, you've started your period?" Zihe immediately realized upon hearing this, her voice filled with excitement. "Then this servant will go and tell Master Zongzheng and the others right now." As she spoke, Zihe turned to walk outside.

Xie Lingqin rubbed her forehead and immediately called out to her, "Come back."

“Miss, this is a joyous occasion and must be announced. We also need to inform the General later.” Zihe said earnestly.

Xie Lingqin...

It's just my period, is it really necessary to make such a big deal out of it? And to announce it to everyone?

"No need, menstrual pads." Xie Lingqin's tone was not good.

Zihe, who was outside the door, noticed that Xie Lingqin's tone was off. After hesitating for a moment, she said in a low voice, "Miss, if you ask me to go find menstrual cloth at this time, Master Zongzheng and the others will definitely find out."

"Then let's look outside."

Zihe...

It's so frustrating!

She didn't understand why her mistress wasn't happy about this joyous occasion, which signified that she had come of age.

However, despite her thoughts, Zihe still quietly left the mansion as instructed.

However, at this time, as curfew approaches, most shops have already closed.

Zihe was very worried.

...

At this moment, Xie Lingqin, unusually upset, paced back and forth in the room.

It's just menstruation, but it has such a big impact. In her past life, she still remembered the acupuncture omen she had during her first period.

She still remembers that day...

She was still on a mission, and was even younger than the original owner of this body...

She touched her brow and quickly walked behind the screen in the inner room. Looking at the enormous bathtub, she was troubled again.

When you need to take a shower, it's best to do so...

A backward society makes you want to kill someone.

After much deliberation, Xie Lingqin took her change of clothes and left the Zong government office.

Of course, Xie Lingqin was unaware that a pair of eyes in the shadows had witnessed everything that had just happened.

And what deep emotions were swirling in those deep, beautiful eyes at this very moment?

Fortunately, Xie Lingqin had gone out to exercise before and discovered a naturally formed hot spring while running in the mountains. The spring was hidden away, and the warm water flowed down from top to bottom like a waterfall. The warm water was perfect for taking a shower.

Xie Lingqin ran quickly, her only thought right now being to take a bath.

Make sure to clean the blood off your body.

However, after crossing a long street, he was stopped by a man dressed as a guard.

"Halt! Why do you smell of blood?" The man stood there, sword in hand.

Xie Lingqin's entire body, including her face, was covered by a cloak. Looking at the man in front of her, her expression darkened. In all her efforts to protect herself, she had forgotten about this.

She remembered the man; he was the guard who had just passed by a sedan chair.

"Who are you, and what have you done? State your name, and I will deal with you leniently."

At that moment, with the sound of the sedan chair being lowered, Yuwen Xian's voice rang out from behind.

Xie Lingqin tightened her cloak, making sure her face wasn't exposed in the darkness before turning around and speaking in a very rough voice, "Your Highness, I only have a few minor injuries and I'm rushing home to get them bandaged."

"Oh, what happened and you got injured?"

Yuwen Xian was clearly not someone to be easily fooled. He scrutinized Xie Lingqin for a long time, then raised his hand, signaling the guard to put down his sword. Only then did he seem extremely lenient, saying, "Raise your head, show me your face, and let me see."

That one look immediately gave it away.

Xie Lingqin really wanted to stab Yuwen Xian to death right then and there. She could feel a dull pain in her lower abdomen, as if she was about to have a seizure. Her period was coming...

"Your Highness, the smell of blood is strong. It seems this is no minor injury."

The guards a few steps away immediately raised their hands to report to Yuwen Xian, their faces serious, as if Xie Lingqin were some kind of notorious bandit.

Xie Lingqin...

Yuwen Xian had clearly sensed it too. His expression was gentle, but he was actually trying to coax and threaten, "Young man, tell me the truth."

"Well, since that's the case, then I'll tell Your Highness everything." Xie Lingqin suddenly sighed in frustration.

Upon seeing this, Yuwen Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he were listening intently.

Xie Lingqin slowly loosened her grip on the cloak.

"That's right, Xiaomin... go to hell."

Just as everyone was listening intently, Xie Lingqin let out a curse and her cloak flashed.

They reacted quickly, but when they drew their swords again, their cloaks fell from the sky, and the people from before were nowhere to be seen.

"What are you waiting for? Chase them!"

Yuwen Xian immediately gave the order in a deep voice.

Someone who clearly doesn't know martial arts managed to slip away right under his nose and even cursed him so viciously. He'll make her pay when he catches her.

More importantly, could it be someone who was following him tonight? He absolutely cannot let anyone know what he was doing outside the mansion tonight. Just in case, he must be silenced.
