After the passionate lovemaking, Xiao Yan held Xiao Yun in his arms and poked her chubby cheeks with his fingers, making a dent with each poke, having a lot of fun.
Ji Yunhuan impatiently slapped Xiao Yan's hand away, "Let's talk business, Your Highness, be serious and stop playing around!"
Xiao Yan cleared his throat and said seriously, "Don't worry, Xiaoyun. The arrow shot into Wu Xin's stomach. He is still recovering there. After all, they were just a mob. It's a pity that they couldn't kill Wu Xin."
"The Emperor asked me to find the murderer because he suspected me. Of course I couldn't find him. How could a prince trapped in the palace possibly track down all the bandits in the north? I went to apologize, and the Emperor was furious, but he couldn't catch the murderer either."
"Xiaoyun, please be patient for two days. Great things will be accomplished. I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
Three days later, the redness and swelling on Ji Yunhuan's body had completely faded, but she still stayed in Xiaozhu Garden to "recuperate", feeling very comfortable.
Wenlan often went to Xiaozhuyuan. She was amazed at Xiaoyun's fair and translucent face.
"Xiao Yun, you are getting more and more beautiful. Not only are there no scars left, but your skin seems to be even more delicate. Doctor Ye is really amazing. What prescription did you use? I want to ask her to take a look."
"Look at my face, I have two more pimples. It's so annoying."
Ji Yunhuan held Xiao Xiao in his arms and sat in the yard basking in the sun. "Let Doctor Ye take a look at you tomorrow. You'll definitely be better than you are now. But don't hold your hopes too high. It's definitely not possible to be like me."
She used the "Skin Like Cream" produced by the system. No matter how good the medicinal materials are, they cannot achieve such an effect.
Wen Lan held Tuan Tuan in his arms and casually fed it a piece of meat. "I know. As long as you don't get acne, I'll be content. The eldest prince still has some conscience. He didn't abandon you in that shabby yard forever! Why do I feel like you've become fat after only living here for a few days?"
Yuling stood behind Yun Fengyi and her heart skipped a beat. She had been serving Yun Fengyi for these days, so she naturally knew that Yun Fengyi was pregnant.
Very few people knew about this matter. Although Wen Liangyuan was good friends with Yun Fengyi, if she knew about it, there was no telling what she would think.
Ji Yunhuan chuckled and said, "A happy heart makes a fat body. If you live a comfortable life, you will naturally gain weight."
Wen Lan had no doubt at all. She put Tuan Tuan on the ground, and Xiao Xiao also jumped off Ji Yunhuan. The two kittens meowed and quickly ran away.
"I will keep your recovery a secret. You are not allowed to practice calligraphy today. Let's play Pai Gow!"
Ji Yunhuan smiled helplessly and could only take Yuling to play with Wenlan. Jinqiu also came to the table to join them.
"I won! Give me the money!" Yuling laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared, and stretched out her hand towards Wenlan.
Although Wenlan kept clamoring to play, her card skills were actually very poor. On the contrary, Yuling figured out the rules after playing two rounds. She was a girl obsessed with money and had no reason to give back the money she had taken in, so she won more and more.
Wen Lan happily threw a string of copper coins to Yuling, "I've left them all with you. I don't believe it. Can't I succeed even once?"
Jin Qiu was almost crying after losing. "Miss, the master and servant are in perfect harmony. They are very smart. We can't beat them."
Wen Lan was unhappy when she heard this. "Are you saying your young lady isn't smart? I've been playing for years, how can I not beat two newbies? Play with all your might, and I'll double the reward for every loss you make. Keep going!"
Ji Yunhuan blinked at Yuling. Although she didn't seem to win much, she didn't lose either. She even won a small victory.
The four of them were having a great time when suddenly a woman's scream was heard outside.
Tuan Tuan threw himself into Wen Lan's arms with a howl, crying and trembling with fear.
Yudie, the gatekeeper maid, ran in behind Tuantuan and said anxiously, "Fengyi, something bad has happened! Lin Liangyuan has captured Xiaoxiao and is saying she wants to beat her to death!"
"What?" Wen Lan stood up excitedly and said angrily, "Who the hell is she? Not only did she scare my Tuan Tuan, but she even dared to touch Xiao Xiao? Xiao Yun, don't be afraid, I'm going to save Xiao Xiao right now!"
Ji Yunhuan stopped Wen Lan who was rushing out and shook his head at her. "It's none of your business. She came here for me. Xiaoxiao is just a cover. You wait here. I'll be back soon."
Wen Lan glared at me and said angrily, "Don't you consider me your friend? How can I stand by and watch my friend in trouble? Besides, you're recovering from your illness, so I'll go. We're both good ladies, and Lin Wan'er can't beat me."
Jin Qiu stood by and said nothing. As for his young lady's intelligence, it was fortunate that Yun Fengyi was there to block her, otherwise she would definitely not be able to defeat the Prince's wife and Lin Liangyuan together.
Ji Yun laughed happily, "Then come with me. What's coming will eventually come, and I can't hide from people forever."
At the entrance of Xiaozhuyuan.
The palace maid beside Lin Wan'er held Xiaoxiao in her hands. The kitten kicked its four legs hard in the air and made a shrill cry.
There were three scratches on Lin Wan'er's wrist, but they were just scratches that broke the skin and bled a little. Her face was gloomy. She pulled the kitten's ears hard and said with a sinister grin:
"Little bastard, you can only blame your master for not doing his job well. He watched you die and didn't dare to come out to save you."
Yudie went in to report the news. Yuyan was still guarding the door. She fell to her knees and begged:
"Lin Liangyuan, please be merciful. Yun Fengyi is truly too ill to get up and cannot come out to apologize to Liangyuan. I kowtow to you. Please release Xiaoxiao."
Xiaoxiao was being strangled by the neck and had no strength to struggle anymore, her cries becoming quieter and quieter.
Lin Wan'er kicked Yu Yan and angrily shouted, "Who do you think you are? Get out of here! This beast scratched me and deserves to die!"
The palace maid beside her handed the kitten to Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan'er grabbed one of the kitten's legs and was about to throw it onto the bluestone slab!
"Stop!" Ji Yunhuan hurried out of the courtyard, his tone full of coldness, "If you dare to touch it, I want you to pay with your life!"
Yuyan panicked, endured the pain and climbed up, pushing Yun Fengyi inside with all her strength, "Fengyi, go in quickly, you are still recuperating and cannot come out."
Ji Yunhuan helped Yuyan up and comforted her, "You've done a great job. Leave the rest to me. Yuyan, help your sister in and ask Doctor Ye to come and see her. Come back and take care of her once she's healed."
Yudie responded and dragged her worried sister into the house.
Lin Wan'er was intimidated by Ji Yunhuan's aura and really didn't dare to move.
She looked at Yun Fengyi's face, which was fair and rosy. Not only was she not disfigured, but she was even more charming than before, not looking like someone who had fallen out of favor at all.
While Lin Wan'er was stunned, Yuling quickly snatched Xiaoxiao back, held her in her arms and caressed her gently.
Xiaoxiao meowed so pitifully that Yuling felt so distressed that she burst into tears. She took out the meat strips she had brought with her and fed them to Xiaoxiao.
Lin Wan'er realized that she was being suppressed by Feng Yi, and she said angrily:
"How dare you! I am a concubine appointed by the emperor himself, and there is a hierarchy. Today, your beast dared to hurt me, so it is only natural to kill it. What right do you have to stop me?"
