"Since Young Master Sun is here, I will take my leave now." Nan Wusi thought about finding some time to talk to Xiao Yi, as such a talented person should be put to good use.
“Alright, Manager Nan, I’ll see you off.” Sun Ren’s attitude was even better than before.
On her way back to the General's Mansion, Nan Wusi was still thinking about how to tell Xiao Yi about this. She hadn't expected that not only had she uncovered the truth about Lirenfang stealing her blueprints, but she had also received other unexpected surprises.
Thinking of Xiao Yi's actions last night, Nan Wusi couldn't help but have an idea. Why not try being a "gentleman on the thief'" herself?
Once the thought arose, it took root in his mind. After returning to the General's Mansion, Nan Wusi excitedly awaited the arrival of night and couldn't wait to change into his night clothes.
"Miss, why are you going out again so late at night instead of sleeping?" Ye Zi muttered softly.
"I have important business to attend to, you should rest first." Nan Wusi's excitement was palpable.
Ye Zi sighed inwardly. The original young lady liked to cause trouble during the day, but now she prefers to cause trouble at night. Sigh, she really is a handful.
Nan Wusi was unaware that Ye Zi was internally criticizing her; she was currently running excitedly across the rooftop.
However, as she approached Prince Yi's residence, Nan Wusi carefully concealed her presence, not wanting to be discovered as soon as she entered the residence.
Nan Wusi found a secluded spot and slipped into the palace.
After entering the palace, Nan Wusi carefully avoided the patrolling guards and walked towards the center of the palace.
Although Nan Wusi had visited Prince Yi's mansion several times before, he had only gone to the front hall and had never been to Xiao Yi's backyard. Therefore, Nan Wusi was somewhat disoriented as he wandered around inside.
But at that moment, Nan Wusi heard a conversation: "Miss, you cook soup and medicine for the Prince every day, but when has the Prince ever given you a second glance?"
"Xue'er, don't talk nonsense. I am of lowly birth, and I am content as long as I wait by the Prince's side." A soft female voice entered Nan Wusi's ears.
"Miss, the medicine is ready," said the maid named Xue'er.
"Let's go, let's deliver it to the Prince," the woman's voice said.
Nan Wusi never expected that Xiao Yi would have this kind of "keeping a mistress in a golden house" act. He even kept saying that he liked her and that it wasn't for her family's military power. Bah, as expected, men are all unreliable.
A fierce anger ignited in Nan Wusi's heart, but she did not intend to leave immediately. Since she was already here, she might as well follow this woman to Xiao Yi's room.
Nan Wusi followed cautiously behind, occasionally having to dodge the guards. However, she noticed something: all the guards bowed to the woman with the beautiful back view, addressing her as Miss Yan. It seemed that this woman's status in the palace was not low, otherwise the guards would not have treated her with such courtesy.
Nan Wusi followed her all the way and discovered that Miss Yan had gone to Xiao Yi's study. So, Xiao Yi trusted this woman so much that he not only brewed medicine for her but also allowed her into such an important place as his study? This stirred a strange emotion within Nan Wusi, making her quite displeased.
Miss Yan was stopped outside the study, but after being informed, she went in directly. Nan Wusi jumped onto the roof, lifted a piece of tile, and peeked at what was happening inside.
"Spread some information about the Third Prince over the next few days. We shouldn't waste such a good opportunity." Xiao Yi was explaining the plans he had made over the past few days to Xuan Li.
After Miss Yan went in, she picked up the medicine bowl, blew on it to cool it down, and fed it to Xiao Yi spoonful by spoonful. After feeding him the medicine, she also thoughtfully fed him a candied fruit.
Seeing this from the rooftop, Nan Wusi was filled with rage. Without thinking, he crushed a piece of tile, which then fell into the room.
"There's an assassin!" Xuan Li reacted immediately, opened the door and rushed out.
Since Nan Wusi was no match for Xuan Li, he naturally didn't intend to fight head-on and instead fought and fled with Xuan Li.
However, Xuan Li's martial arts skills were much higher than Nan Wusi's, so during the fight, Xuan Li managed to land a blow on Nan Wusi.
Nan Wusi cried out in pain, desperately wanting to escape, but Xuan Li relentlessly pursued him.
"Xuan Li, come back." Xiao Yi suddenly commanded.
“But, Your Highness…” Xuan Li was puzzled. He had almost caught the assassin, so why was the prince still asking him to go back?
"Aren't you coming back!" Xiao Yi's voice turned cold, and Xuan Li obediently returned to Xiao Yi's side, looking at Nan Wusi's fleeing figure with a face full of regret.
"You injured her?" Xiao Yi asked, because he could smell blood.
"Huh?" Xuan Li didn't react for a moment, but still answered honestly, "I did indeed strike the assassin with my sword."
"Go and receive your punishment." Xiao Yi's expression was cold.
"Huh?" Xuan Li looked bewildered. Why did he have to be punished? He hadn't done anything wrong, had he?
"You should go back too," Xiao Yi said to Yan Qingcheng.
"Hmph." Xiao Yi snorted coldly and left the study.
Nan Wusi ran frantically, clutching her wound, tears streaming down her face, unaware of why she was crying. Her blood stained her entire arm, but she paid no heed.
Nan Wusi rushed back to his room, almost alerting the guards of the General's Mansion.
She collapsed helplessly onto the bed, letting the blood flow endlessly.
What's wrong with her?
Doesn't she dislike or care about Xiao Yi?
Why do I feel so sad when I see a woman next to him?
As soon as Xiao Yi entered Nan Wusi's room, he smelled a strong stench of blood and immediately realized that Nan Wusi had not yet stopped bleeding.
"You're insane! You'll die if this continues." Xiao Yi rushed to the bedside and grabbed Nan Wusi's hand tightly.
"What's it to you? What are you doing here!" Nan Wusi tried to wave Xiao Yi away, but she aggravated her wound, gasping in pain, and her hand fell limply to her side.
Xiao Yi didn't know why Nan Wusi was behaving so strangely today, but he knew that if Nan Wusi didn't receive treatment, it could really be fatal.
So he disregarded the difference between men and women, tore open Nan Wusi's clothes, and sprinkled the specially made wound medicine on them.
Nan Wusi did not stop him, but just stared blankly at Xiao Yi, seemingly lost in thought.
After treating Nan Wusi's wounds, Xiao Yi became angry: "Are you out of your mind?"
"Hmph." Nan Wusi snorted coldly, but ignored Xiao Yi.
"What's wrong with you today? Why are you dressed in black at my Prince Yi's residence?" Xiao Yi was somewhat annoyed by Nan Wusi's attitude.
"Hmph." Nan Wusi continued to snort coldly, still ignoring Xiao Yi.
"Nan Wusi!" Xiao Yi was genuinely angry. This woman had broken into his palace at night, and now he was the one humbly asking her about the situation.
"Go away, I don't want to see you." Nan Wusi looked at Xiao Yi, who was somewhat angry, and her anger intensified. She directly told him to leave.
