Ling Qingwan had a dream.
In her dream, she was lying in the midst of white snow.
Ling Qingwan only knew that Ling Chuchu must be plotting against her again, but she didn't expect that she even planned an avalanche. If everything went as she wished, Ling Chuchu would kill a person without anyone noticing.
No one knew that when the avalanche came, everyone was running down the mountain. Ling Chuchu deliberately pushed her down, preventing her from escaping from the snow.
Am I...going to die again
Ling Qingwan closed her eyes. At this moment, she recalled all the memories of her past and present lives.
In the previous life, she caused the general's family to be wiped out because of her, and her beloved brother died because of her. In this life, she died before everyone else, and the ending of the story would be rewritten.
I think so.
Ling Qingwan thought.
She felt like she was almost dead, just a little bit away.
Suddenly, Ling Qingwan felt a burst of warmth. Then, she was taken out of the snowdrift. Ling Qingwan only remembered that she was sitting on a horse, the wind whistled past, and the only sound in Ling Qingwan's ears was the sound of the wind and the panting of another person.
By the time Ling Qingwan woke up, she had already entered the city gate.
Ling Qingwan opened her eyes and saw a tall figure galloping on a horse in the night, gradually disappearing.
Relying on the last bit of her strength, Ling Qingwan walked back to the Marquis' Mansion.
She remembered that the last person she saw before she fell asleep was Tan Hongbo.
"hiss."
Ling Qingwan felt sore all over.
"Wanwan! You're awake!" Ling Chuchu was sitting in front of the bed. Seeing Ling Qingwan wake up, she hurriedly shouted loudly, her tone very excited.
Ling Xiao and Tan Hongbo pushed the door open and in the blink of an eye they came together in front of Ling Qingwan.
"How are you? Are you still feeling unwell? Do you want to eat something?" Ling Chuchu was at a loss and asked several questions in a hurry. "I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some nourishing porridge for you!"
After saying that, Ling Chuchu left the room.
She stood outside the room and listened quietly to the conversation inside.
"Wanwan." Ling Xiao's guilt was about to overflow. He had clearly said to protect Ling Qingwan, but during these days, Ling Qingwan was either poisoned or trapped in the snowy mountains.
Ling Qingwan slowed down and prepared to comfort Ling Xiao later.
"You're not going to cry, are you?" Tan Hongbo looked at Ling Xiao with a horrified look on his face, his eyes wide open.
… I have to say, Tan Hongbo is really good at ruining the atmosphere.
"I want to drink some water." Ling Qingwan's lips were a little dry.
Ling Xiao didn't say anything and quickly poured a glass for Ling Qingwan.
"I'll buy you whatever Sister Wanwan wants to eat." Tan Hongbo was not willing to be outdone and was busy arguing with Ling Xiao about who treated Ling Qingwan better.
Ling Qingwan found it funny.
"The most important thing you should do now is to go back to your Taifu Mansion. Otherwise, if Master Tan knows that you are staying here with me, he will probably nag me again."
As expected, Ling Xiao started arguing with Tan Hongbo again.
"He can talk about his own things. Besides, I'm doing good things today, so he should be praising me." Tan Hongbo raised his head slightly, and he was unmoved. He didn't listen to anything Ling Xiao said.
Whenever she saw the two of them bickering, Ling Qingwan would feel much better.
Ling Qingwan was happy, and Ling Xiao and Tan Hongbo were also happy.
Seeing that Ling Qingwan did not mention the avalanche, Ling Chuchu thought that she had forgotten that she had pushed her. She breathed a sigh of relief and finally left with peace of mind.
"Let's go." Tan Hongbo glanced coldly at the door from the corner of his eye and suddenly put away his nonchalant attitude.
Ling Xiao sat down in front of the couch and carefully covered Ling Qingwan with the quilt.
"Wanwan, tell your brother whether Chuchu was responsible for trapping you in Jinrong Mountain today." Ling Xiao actually knew the answer, but he was afraid that he had guessed wrong and wrongly accused a good person, so he wanted to confirm it with Ling Qingwan.
"I forgot." Ling Qingwan said softly.
Ling Chuchu seemed to be just an ordinary woman with jealousy in her heart, but she was actually very jealous and it was harder to get rid of her than one might imagine. Ling Qingwan was unwilling to bring these trivial matters to Ling Xiao.
"Then do you remember how you came back?" Ling Xiao frowned.
Logically speaking, Ling Qingwan was trapped and shouldn't have been able to break free from the snow pile by herself and get down Jinrong Mountain so quickly.
"Don't ask Sister Wanwan. She has just woken up and her mind is probably still in a mess. If you ask her this, she will probably be confused again." Tan Hongbo waved his hand to help Ling Qingwan stop Ling Xiao's deadly series of questions.
When Ling Xiao was mentioned by Tan Hongbo, he suddenly realized that even Tan Hongbo could think of it, but he didn't, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, it was a false alarm and Ling Qingwan was once again out of danger.
It's late at night and everything is quiet.
Prince's Mansion.
Wei Xun had just finished washing up and returned to the study. The stove was emitting white smoke and the scent of sandalwood was fragrant.
Just as he sat down, Liu Yutang came outside the house asking to see him.
"Uncle Liu, why did you come to see me so late?" Wei Xun asked Liu Yutang.
"I came to see you half an hour ago. There was a problem with the antidote I was developing, so I wanted to discuss a solution with you. But you were not here, so I left." Liu Yutang said to Wei Xun in a gentle voice.
Wei Xun pursed his lips and listened to Liu Yutang continue speaking.
"Are you meddling in the affairs of the second young lady of the Marquis' Mansion again?" Liu Yutang wanted to ask in a more tactful way, but he couldn't help himself.
"The prince and I grew up together and have a very good relationship. It is reasonable for me to rescue his sister when she is in danger." Wei Xun explained to Liu Yutang without changing his expression.
"But you have already borrowed the soldiers." Liu Yutang was a little anxious.
Wei Xun said nothing, but took out a document from the pile on the table and started reading it.
"Your Highness, don't blame me for being nosy. You are now in the limelight, and the Crown Prince and the First Prince are eyeing you covetously. The one who really has the final say in the Marquis' Mansion is not the Crown Prince, but Old Master Ling. If you take action now to get in touch with the Marquis' Mansion..."
"Uncle Liu." Wei Xun raised his eyes, his peach blossom eyes fixed on Liu Yutang. "When did you become so talkative?"
Liu Yutang immediately realized that his remarks today were inappropriate and quickly shut up.
"Have you found a way to deal with the poison in my body?" Wei Xun changed the subject and mentioned the poison in his body to Liu Yutang.
Liu Yuluo shook his head in disappointment.
"I tried to refine the toxins in your body and found some herbs that might be able to cure you. But those herbs are very precious and rare in the world. I don't know how long it will take to find them by myself. But if I make a big fuss, it will be easily discovered. If it gets to the ears of someone with ulterior motives, it might just be what the person who poisoned you wants."
Once the news that the Seventh Prince was poisoned spreads, it will not only cause unrest among the people, but also cause a drastic change in the situation in the court. The consequences will be disastrous.
Otherwise, Wei Xun wouldn't have been able to hold on for these years.
"My Lord, you saved the second young lady of the Marquis' Mansion. Does she have any solution?" Liu Yutang suddenly thought of Ling Qingwan. After all, it was Ling Qingwan who cured Wei Xun when he was accidentally poisoned last time.
"She couldn't even tell that I was poisoned." Wei Xun shook his head.
