"Qin Ruoxi, you're such a wild child!!!"
"Born of a mother, but unloved by one."
At this moment, Bai Tangzhi no longer cared about the two people who had hit Bai Tangyan earlier. She walked directly up to Ma Yuling and slapped her twice.
As Xiao Xi'er spoke, she broke free from Qin Jingke, ran straight to Ma Yuling's legs, hugged Ma Yuling's leg, and bit her.
Ma Yuling winced in pain from Xiao Xi'er's bite, released her grip on Bai Tangyan's hair, and ignored Bai Tangzhi who had just hit her.
Instead, she tried to pull Xiao Xi'er away, but no matter how hard Ma Yuling pulled, Xiao Xi'er...
Xiao Xi'er refused to let go, so Ma Yuling grabbed Xiao Xi'er's hair and pulled her back.
Then he bent down, grabbed one of Xiaoxi'er's ankles with one hand, and pulled it outwards.
Little Xi fell to the ground.
Because the fight was happening at the door, Xiao Xi'er's head ended up stuck on the threshold.
After bumping into the threshold, Xiao Xi'er fainted. Bai Tangyan and Bai Tangzhi quickly squatted down to check on her.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there was blood on the ground.
Upon seeing the blood, Ma Yuling panicked.
At this moment, Qin Jingke ran to Xiao Xi'er's side and was stunned when he saw her like this.
"Xiao...Xiao Zhi, what...what should we do?"
"Will...will she die? I...I don't want her to die..."
Seeing Bai Tangyan crying, Bai Tangzhi quickly composed herself. "Yan'er, stay here and watch over Xiao Xi'er. I'm going to find the imperial physician."
After saying that, Bai Tangyan ran out.
Wei Yuanxuan and Fang Zixu heard Bai Tangyan crying and looked over, only to see that Xiao Xi'er's head was covered in blood.
Fang Zixu panicked as well, "Wei Yanxuan, what... what do you think we should do?"
Wei Yuanxuan looked at Xiao Xi'er lying on the ground, remembered something, and ran out.
"Guards!!! Where are Xiao Xi'er's guards!!!"
"Weren't you sent by His Majesty to protect Xiao Xi'er?"
The guards perched in the trees in the courtyard immediately revealed themselves upon hearing the sound.
"What's wrong?"
"Little Xi'er...she...you must go in and see her quickly."
When Bai Zhong and Lu Yuan entered, they saw Xiao Xi'er lying on the ground, her head bleeding.
Both of their pupils widened.
"Lu Yuan, quickly give the princess the life-saving pill the master gave her, I'm going to find the imperial physician."
As soon as Bai Tangzhi left the palace school, she heard a voice, "I'll go find the imperial physician."
Upon hearing this, Bai Tangzhi guessed it must be Xiao Xi'er's bodyguard, and returned.
When Bai Tangzhi returned, she saw Situ Junwen and Qi Sinan arrive at Class Gui.
Situ Junwen was stunned when he saw Xiao Xi'er lying unconscious on the ground. "What happened? Quickly, go find the imperial physician!"
"Someone has already gone to find the imperial physician."
Upon hearing that someone had gone to find the imperial physician, Situ Junwen instructed one of the tutors behind him to quickly go find Qin Jue.
"Go find His Majesty immediately."
Upon hearing Situ Junwen's words, the tutor behind him dared not linger and ran towards the Imperial Study.

Imperial Study
Yu Ying jumped down from the shadows, stood in front of Qin Jue, and handed him a brocade box.
The brocade box was none other than the one Qin Jingyi had brought back with the water droplet stone.
Qin Jue took the box, opened it, and saw the red teardrop-shaped stone inside.
"It's the same here; they should have arrived in the capital."
Qin Jue's expression gradually turned serious when he saw the stone in the box, and Yu Ying's expression was also very bad.
"Go find them quickly!"
"Yes, I know."
"Once I find them, none of them will get away with it."
Qin Jue closed the lid of the brocade box, placed it next to another brocade box, and then looked down at the pattern on the Xuan paper.
"Did you find any clues in this pattern?"
"No, we only found that this pattern appeared several decades ago, and it hasn't appeared since."
"It will take some time to find out."
Upon hearing Yu Ying's words, Qin Jue thought of Jun Qingzhi, who would always appear beside Xiao Xi'er whenever she left the palace.
Their faces also showed a degree of wariness.
"Let's find out as soon as possible. At present, it doesn't seem like he'll harm Xiaoxi'er, but we can't completely rule it out."
I will do it as soon as possible.
Just as Yu Ying finished speaking, she heard footsteps and used her light-footed skill to return to the shadows.
After Yu Ying disappeared into the shadows, Qin Jue picked up the memorials on the table.
Then I saw Sanhezi hurriedly walk into the Imperial Study.
"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"
"What happened?"
"Princess... according to the teacher at the palace school, the princess has hit her head... her head is injured... and she is currently unconscious..."
Upon hearing Sanhezi's words, Qin Jue didn't inquire about the situation and directly used his lightness skill to leave the imperial study.
When Sanhezi looked up, he had already seen Qin Jue's figure.
Yu Ying, who was lurking in the shadows, also used her light-footed skill to leave when Qin Jue departed, heading towards the palace academy as well.
When Qin Jue arrived at the palace school, the first thing he saw was Xiao Xi'er lying on the ground with her eyes closed. Her head was covered in blood.
The person has absolutely no vitality.
Qin Jue staggered to Xiao Xi'er's side, his hands trembling as he reached out to pick her up, but then, worried that he might worsen her injuries, he withdrew his hands.
He withdrew his hands, but they still trembled uncontrollably; so much so that Qin Jue gripped the robe on his legs.
"Where the imperial physician went?!"
Hearing Qin Jue's roar, Feng Feng, who was being dragged by the collar by Bai Zhong, shrank back.
Upon entering the palace school, Bai Zhong immediately placed Feng Feng next to Qin Jue.
