Lingshan Temple.

Ning Xihua was waiting outside the meditation room anxiously.

It had been three hours since Su Bi entered the room, and the meditation room had been completely quiet and silent.

Isn't it said that extracting the remaining poison is more painful than an onset of the poison? Why didn't I hear even a groan from her outside the door?

Although Master Hui Ku looked trustworthy, she couldn't help but worry.

More than a month had passed since she had accidentally picked up the Hidden Color Flower in the paddock. Master Hui Ku had finally created the antidote for the drunkenness in her sleep and was ready to remove the last remaining poison from Su Bi's body.

After Ning Xihua learned about it, she took the initiative to ask to go to Lingshan Temple with Su Bi under the pretext of burning incense, just in case something unexpected happened during the detoxification process.

"Don't worry too much. Hui has been studying this poison for nearly seven years, starting from the time Su Bi was poisoned. In this world, apart from the Liu Kingdom's royal family, he is the one who is most confident in curing this drunken dream."

Bai Luoqiu knew that Su Bi was going to be detoxified today, so he was waiting at Lingshan Temple early. Seeing Ning Xihua was worried, he spoke to comfort her.

Ning Xihua's focus was different, "Seven years? Has he never said a word when the poison took effect in the past seven years like he did today?"

She suddenly recalled the first time she saw Su Bi in Weiyuan when he was poisoned. He seemed to be in so much pain that veins were popping out on his forehead, but he was trying very hard to restrain himself from hurting her.

Bai Luoqiu sighed, "When he was 13 years old, he first detoxified. He was shaking with pain and sweating like he had just been pulled out of the water. He didn't cry out in pain or shed a tear."

Ning Xihua could imagine the scene when she heard it.

The boy had a stubborn look on his young face. He bit his lips and pinched his palms in pain, bleeding profusely. He trembled uncontrollably, but still did not utter a single groan.

This scene made her heart feel like it was being tugged at, and she felt both sad and bitter. She felt sorry for Su Bi when she was young, and she felt sad for Su Bi now.

It turned out that during those days unknown to her, the boy grew up so silently and hard, and the most gorgeous flower bloomed from the painful mud, which allowed her to see the dazzling Su Bi today.

She originally thought that it was ridiculous for Su Bi to say that her aura could calm him down.

But now she was extremely grateful that she could bring him a little peace and allow him to temporarily escape from this pain.

Bai Luoqiu saw Ning Xihua immersed in her own thoughts, with distress and anxiety in her eyes, and he couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

In order to prevent her from getting too nervous, he started talking about something else to divert her attention.

"As for Bai Queyue's matter, it was because of the improper upbringing of the Duke of Zhenguo, which caused the princess to suffer injustice."

Ning Xihua was a little surprised that he would apologize to her for this matter. After all, Bai Queyue was the Duke of Zhenguo's man.

"You worry too much, my Lord. She is her, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

The implication was that she would not transfer her anger to the entire Zhenguo Mansion because of Bai Queyue's matter.

Bai Luoqiu was relieved, "The princess is very generous. I have arranged a marriage for Bai Queyue. A few days ago, she was sent to Jizhou to get married."

Ning Xihua raised her eyebrows when she heard that. She thought Bai Queyue would at most be sent back to her clan, but she didn't expect that she would be married directly, and to a cold and bitter place like Jizhou.

Although Bai Queyue was not from the direct line of the Duke of Zhenguo's family, she was at least the daughter of a branch family. With her relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo, it was not difficult for her to find a suitable husband in the capital.

But it had only been a few days and this person had already married far away in Jizhou. This was so quick and decisive that she had to believe that it was Su Bi's doing.

"Does the Duke of Zhenguo have any opinions?"

Bai Luoqiu smiled, "Father is old. He no longer has the energy to take care of the marriages of these younger generations."

My goodness, Bai Luoqiu means that he will have full authority over the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion from now on, and the position of Duke of Zhenguo has been sidelined?

Ning Xihua also smiled, hinting, "Hasn't the prince already been the ruler of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion?"

Bai Luoqiu stared at the still closed door of the meditation room and said softly, "I am not as worrying as my father. With me here, no matter who Su Bi marries in the end, the Duke of Zhenguo will always stand behind him."

His eyes were long and his voice was like a sigh, "This is what the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion owes my elder sister, and this is also what the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion owes him."

Bai Luoqiu recalled the scene when Su Bi came to see him not long ago.

"In fact, father has already promised you and Princess Yuexi. Since Bai Queyue has made a mistake, you can just pick a girl from the Bai family's side branches to marry and put his mind at ease. I think Princess Yuexi will understand."

Su Bi shook her head and said calmly, "There won't be anyone else."

"You have to think carefully. Life is long and you will definitely be in a high position. The happiness you feel now does not necessarily mean you can stay together until old age."

At that time, Su Bi just looked up at the moon, as if she saw the person she loved through the moon.

"Sometimes I feel that without her, there would be no one else. Just like this moon, without it, will there be another moon?"

He reached out to catch the soft moonlight, "There's no need to think about it."

That was the first time that Bai Luoqiu saw such a gentle light in his usually cold eyes. That soft light made him unable to bear to refuse his intention.

He only hoped that his nephew, who had experienced all the suffering in the world, could get whatever he wished for and live a fulfilled life.

Coming back to his senses, Bai Luoqiu turned and looked at Ning Xihua with a sincere expression.

"I don't know what your current situation is, nor do I know where you will end up in the future. I just hope that no matter what the outcome is, you can treat him better and better."

He smiled bitterly and continued, "You may think I am selfish, but I know in my heart that he no longer needs the so-called kindness from us relatives."

Bai Luoqiu said firmly, "But he needs you."

Ning Xihua heard the seriousness in his words. She didn't say much, just nodded and replied to him in the same serious manner.

"I will do my best."

Just five short words, but they were her most solemn promise.

The toughness on the girl's face suddenly overlapped with the determination on Su Bi's face at that time, and Bai Luoqiu smiled.

These two people are really similar in some ways.

He let out a long sigh.

It’s great to be young. Maybe these two people will eventually find happiness as they walk along. Who knows?

"Oh, I forgot to tell you."

Ning Xihua looked doubtful.

"Before Bai Queyue got married, she accidentally fell off a rockery and her right leg became lame. There is no cure for this."

"Lame?"

Ning Xihua really didn't expect this to happen. She wasn't stupid enough to think that Bai Queyue was being punished. Su Bi's explanation to her was really straightforward and clear, without any hesitation.

Bai Luoqiu shook his head and said helplessly, "Yes, that boy couldn't bear to see you suffer any injustice. If it weren't for his father's face, Bai Queyue might not have been able to leave the capital alive."

If she was hurt even a little, he would want to get it back tenfold.

Ning Xihua's heart moved when she heard this, and she looked at the still closed door of the Zen room.

It's really hard not to like Su Bi.
