"Daddy~, I...I'm so scared..."
Little Xi turned and threw herself into Qin Jue's arms, and began to cry.
Seeing Xiao Xi'er's pitiful state, Qin Jue couldn't hold back any longer, and a tear rolled down his cheek.
"I...I thought I was never going to see my father again..."
"Waaaaah...waaaah...waiaah..."
Little Xi cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, which broke Qin Jue's heart.
Qin Jue was about to pat Xiao Xi'er on the back to comfort her, but remembering her injury, he changed his mind and patted her head instead.
"Waaaaah... Father..."
Little Xi'er cried so hard she forgot the pain and soon fell asleep in Qin Jue's arms.
The medicine beside the bed, which was initially steaming, is now as cold as water.
It was forgotten on that small table.

"Master, Princess Fenglan was assassinated and almost lost her life."
"Who did this?"
Upon hearing Luo Yi's words, Nan Tian thought of the little Xi'er he had seen last time, and then imagined the injured and unconscious little Xi'er.
Enraged, Nan Tian silently crushed the teacup in his hand.
The tea dripped through the gaps in his palm.
"This was done by the emperor of the Southern Kingdom and the Ganenal family."
Upon hearing this, Nan Tianyi understood what had happened.
The emperor of the Southern Kingdom and the people of the Ganenal family know that I have been searching for Xiao Liyan.
I suppose they found out about my interactions with that girl, or my investigation of Xiao Xi'er.
They wanted to kill Xiao Xi'er to eliminate any future trouble.
Nan Tianyi narrowed his eyes, then, remembering Xiao Xi'er's injury, he looked at Luo Yi and asked, "How is that girl now?"
"It is said that she woke up around 1:00 PM yesterday."
"Send that girl plenty of high-quality medicinal herbs and tonics."
"Sent secretly"
After Nan Tian finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and added, "Send it secretly."
"yes"
After Luo Yi finished speaking, he prepared to go down and prepare things to send to the palace, but was stopped by Nan Tianyi's words.
"Tell Mo Han to pack his things; we're returning to the Southern Kingdom in half an hour."
"Yes, Master."
After speaking, Nan Tianyi used his light-footed skill to leave the small courtyard where he lived and arrived at the palace.
In front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation
Just as Nan Tianyi arrived at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qin Jue came out.
"Why aren't you going back? What are you still doing in Fenglan?"
"Do you think Xi'er's injuries aren't serious enough?"
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Nan Tian lowered his head slightly and began to ponder.
I want to see her again.
She doesn't need you to see her, and she doesn't want to see you.
"You... Qin Jue, I've given you face."
As he spoke, Nan Tianyi lunged at Qin Jue, who kicked him in the right leg.
"Your right leg doesn't seem to be fully healed yet..."
Qin Jue staggered back a step, and said to Nan Tianyi with a mocking tone.
You won't see Xi'er.
Qin Jue looked at Nan Tianyi and spoke slowly.
Give me a portrait of her.
"impossible"
Qin Jue naturally knew who Nan Tianyi was referring to, and refused without hesitation.
"impossible"
"Qin Jue, you..."
Please leave.
Before Nan Tianyi could finish speaking, Qin Jue told him to leave, and then went directly into the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Seeing Qin Jue leave like that, Nan Tian tried to enter the Hall of Mental Cultivation using his lightness skill, but stopped abruptly at the entrance.
"Think about how many people are watching you, how many people want you dead. And how many people are looking for her."
"If you don't care, then go in."
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Nan Tian stopped at the doorway, looked down at the distance between his feet and the doorway—less than a foot's width.
Then he looked up at the closed door.
He then used his lightness skill to leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation and head out of the palace.
Once Nan Tian arrived at his residence, he immediately gave instructions to Luo Yi.
"You go personally to gather the medicinal herbs, and don't let anyone know. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Luo Yi, go and call Mo Han. Luo Er, pass on the message: we're setting off back to the Southern Kingdom now."
In a dilapidated temple outside the city
Tang Yu lay on the ground, almost unrecognizable. She had lost a lot of weight, and her arms and legs were covered in bruises.
Just then, two beggars walked over.
"Oh, beautiful lady, are you lonely?"
"……roll…"
Tang Yu was too weak to speak, and could only glare angrily at the two beggars.
"I...I am the second young lady of the Tang family...you..."
"Oh, the Tang family has said you're not one of them, so what are you pretending for?"
Another beggar chimed in. The two beggars exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with lewdness as they looked at Tang Yu.
Why waste so much breath?
"Have you forgotten what the important person instructed you to do? It's about killing her!"
"You're lucky to be able to have some fun with us two before you die."
"I am... the second young lady of the Tang family. I am the second young lady of the Tang family."
At this moment, Tang Yu raised her weak and powerless arm and struggled desperately. She kept repeating that she was the second young lady of the Tang family, and her entire demeanor was off, appearing somewhat insane.
"this……?"
One beggar hesitated, looking at Tang Yu, and then looked at another beggar.
"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten that the Tang family sent someone to inform her that she is no longer the second young lady of the Tang family?"
"OK!"
The beggar thought about it for a moment and then decided not to worry about it anymore.
