Seeing Xing'er's half-dead state, Qin Xia felt a chill run down her spine, and then tentatively asked, "How are you feeling now...?"
"Auntie, please go quickly! Don't worry about me!"
Upon hearing this, Xing'er immediately grabbed Qin Xia's arm, bursting into tears and crying out.
Because her acupoints had just been released, her voice sounded hoarse at this moment, and coupled with her sobbing, it was truly pitiful.
"Waaaaah..."
Xing'er continued to cry and sob. After crying for Qin Xiashi, she thought that she might die soon, so she cried even harder.
"Stop crying! I've already released your pressure points, what more do you want!"
Zhuque felt extremely annoyed by the crying and couldn't help but complain.
Upon hearing this, Xing'er suddenly realized that she seemed to be able to speak now, and not only that, the uncomfortable feeling she had just experienced was gone.
She then gradually stopped crying, and somewhat incredulously rubbed her neck, only breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that she was unharmed.
"Alright, alright, it's really ungentlemanly for a grown man like me to argue with a young lady like you. But if there's a next time, it won't be so easy to let it go!"
Cangyun spoke slowly from the side, then glanced at the master and servant with a look of utter contempt.
"Say less."
Just then, Li Chang'an suddenly spoke again, and after she finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Cang Yun.
She couldn't stand it anymore. Although Qin Xia had instigated the whole thing, the current situation felt like they were bullying the weak.
Considering that he would still have to see these people frequently at the General's Mansion, Li Chang'an felt it was best to avoid causing as many conflicts as possible.
Moreover, she has been feeling very tired lately for some reason, and her energy is not as good as before, especially when she encounters such pointless disputes, she feels dizzy and lightheaded.
Sure enough, this kind of life within high walls and courtyards was not suitable for me.
Li Chang'an frowned slightly. After instructing Cangyun, he went up to Qin Xiashi and patiently explained, "I'm really sorry. He is a secret guard from the Regent's Palace. He didn't know your identity and was rude just now. Please don't take it to heart, Aunt."
Seeing the woman's earnest expression, Qin Xia and Xing'er were truly taken aback.
How could this person suddenly change their personality?
Could it be that there's something more to it?
Qin Xia looked at Li Chang'an with some suspicion, but found nothing unusual about him, so she gave up and then greeted him politely with an awkward smile.
Zhuque and Cangyun, watching the incredibly hypocritical way Li Chang'an and Qin Xiashi interacted, both involuntarily curled their lips and frowned.
Although Li Chang'an was also annoyed by this situation, she hoped even more that she could get rid of these two troublesome guys as soon as possible.
However, things eventually went as planned. After feigning reconciliation with Li Chang'an, Qin Xiashi intended to leave.
Watching Qin Xiashi and Xing'er's retreating figures, Li Chang'an finally felt he could breathe a little easier.
Then she frowned and pressed her forehead—it was really sore and swollen.
"Speak, what exactly does Feng Beichuan want from me?"
Li Chang'an turned to Cang Yun and asked, his voice filled with barely concealed fatigue.
Upon hearing this, Cangyun's expression turned strange again. He thought for a moment and then said, "His Highness was a little worried about you. When he learned that I had returned from the General's Mansion, he asked about your situation. However, I did not see you before I left, so he sent me to look for you."
Looking at that shifty gaze, Li Chang'an couldn't help but frown and stare at him for a long time, making Cang Yun feel a little uneasy.
"Okay, I'm fine, you can go back now."
Just when Cang Yun felt the cold sweat on his forehead was about to be forced down by Li Chang'an, he suddenly heard the woman's tone change, and his heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down.
"Oh, by the way, why did you come here drunk last night?"
Li Chang'an suddenly turned his gaze and caught sight of Zhuque to the side. His heart stirred, and he couldn't help but ask another question.
Upon hearing this, Zhuque's expression changed instantly. She was indignant, but because what happened last night was too embarrassing to talk about, she could only turn her face away in annoyance.
Li Chang'an naturally noticed all her little movements. At the same time, she also saw a blush appear on Zhuque's face, and a playful smile flashed across her lips.
"I don't know how I ended up at the General's Mansion. I ran into Tao Yao Jun yesterday and had a couple of drinks with him. Maybe the alcohol was too strong... I'm really sorry, I'm sure I've caused you a lot of trouble."
Cangyun felt extremely embarrassed. He spoke awkwardly and couldn't help but scratch his hair, looking extremely embarrassed.
"A couple of drinks? I thought you were drowning in alcohol!"
Upon hearing this, Zhuque couldn't help but lash out again, her attitude becoming exceptionally rude.
Cang Yun could only smile awkwardly at this, secretly thinking to himself, "If this woman hadn't made me angry, why would I have gone to drown my sorrows in alcohol?"
Unfortunately, that woman was a blockhead!
Thinking of this, Cangyun suddenly felt that he understood his master's feelings.
In a way, wasn't Li Chang'an just that kind of woman?
Unfortunately, Li Chang'an also lacked any self-awareness. She was now enjoying the gossip immensely and had also keenly grasped an important piece of information.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chang'an asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"
Li Chang'an's tone carried a hint of probing, and a sly glint flashed in his eyes.
Now Suzaku was getting really anxious. She couldn't understand why this person had to bring up such a sensitive topic, and her own face was now as hot as a boiling kettle, almost steaming.
"Um... I don't really remember."
Cangyun frowned and thought for a moment, but his mind went completely blank.
He really couldn't remember anything.
But since Li Chang'an would ask him this question, it means that something terrible has probably happened.
It has to be said that Cangyun is quite shrewd. With just a little thought, he felt that things were definitely not simple, so he quickly became serious and asked, "Did something happen last night? Is it related to me? Could it be that I messed up because I was drinking?"
Seeing Cang Yun's anxious expression, Li Chang'an immediately understood and then smiled faintly, saying, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
