As long as the secret is not exposed, everything can be said.

  Zhi Yi looked at Xue Lian's face, then opened his mouth and told Xue Lian to go out first. Xue Lian wanted to speak but hesitated: "Master..." His voice was very sorrowful.

  Zhi Yi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she said softly: "You go down first. Let the girl apply some medicine."

  Yu Xue's heart was not willing, but he didn't dare say anything else. After bowing to the body, he left. As soon as Yu Xue walked away, he explained to Zhi Yi: "Brother, I really wasn't on purpose, I just had a nightmare."

  Zhi Yi pulled over a stool and sat down in front of Ruxin's bed, laughing: "I know that now it's just you and me, brother and sister, so you don't have to hide from me anymore. Tell me, what did you dream about just now? It definitely wasn't about the Tartars."

  Her face turned red as she lowered her head, feeling embarrassed, "Can't you just not say it?" What was she supposed to say? It was too embarrassing and hard to explain.

  "Alright! But you have to tell me, what method did you use to save Li Xiong from drowning?"

  Like a lovesick fool, he muttered to himself: "It's nothing, really. I just... pressed his belly, and then his chest, and... and that's how I woke him up."

  Zhī yì cuì méi, “yībān niào shuǐ zhī rén shì bù róngyì jiù huó de. nǐ dào hǎo, jūrán shénqí de bǎ tā gěi jiù le. wǒ wèn lǐ xiāo de hùwèi, tāmen zhēi zhēi wú wù de shuō bu qīngchǔ, zhǐ shuō shì nǐ jiù de. wèn nǐ de guī tou, yī gè gè kǒng dé huó xiàng shòu jīng de xiǎo bái tù sì de, jié jié bā bā de bàn tiān yě shuō bu qīngchǔ. wǒ hěn xiǎng zhī dào, nǐ jūrán rúhé shī jiù de?”

  "Brother, can I not say it?"

  Understand her gaze.

  She couldn't bear his serious face, shook her head and coquettishly said: "Brother, sister is asking you, don't ask anymore, this is a secret, no one can say it."

  He gazed at her for a long time, as if still infatuated, and continued to coax her. He let out a soft sigh, having no choice but to give up. "Who did you dream of just now?"

  "Li Xiao!" Ling Rou covered her lips, extremely annoyed, and couldn't help but throw a pillow at him. "Brother, you're cheating."

  Zhi Yi took over the pillow and smiled: "How did he provoke you in his dream again? Even the cheap bones were spoken out."

  "With a flicker of her eye, she said: 'He's really hateful, relying on the fact that he saved my life once to speak ill of me. So I couldn't help but hit him, but unexpectedly, I ended up hitting Wanxue instead. Brother, I really didn't mean to.'"

  Zhī yì biǎo shì zhī dào, "gāng cái wǒ qù le lǐ xuē nà yī tàng, yě sòng le xiē lǐ yǐ biǎo xiè yì. Tā yě huí zèng le wǒ liǎng píng xuě fū jīn chuàng yào, shuō shì gěi nǐ yòng de, xiào guǒ qí hǎo." Shuō zhe cóng huái lǐ tāo le liǎng gè hóng huā cí píng, jiāo gěi rú qíng, "děng xià ràng yān tou mén gěi nǐ shàng yào, lǐ xuē shuō zhè shì huáng shàng yǔ xǐ de shèng wù, zhì liáo wài shāng jí shì yǒu xiào. Sān tiān gōng fū jiù néng yù hé, bìng qiě bù liú bā hén."

  As if the emotions stretched out a snow-white arm from under the quilt, quickly took it over, and then quickly hid again. This action was also unconscious, but for Zhiyi, he just realized that as an older brother in his sister's boudoir was extremely inappropriate, and immediately got up to bid farewell.

  During the period of recuperation, it was extremely boring. Fortunately, Bao Daling often chatted with her about recent gossip in Datong, so she didn't get bored to the point of counting flies.

  Li Xiu was attacked by horse bandits in the Shanxi border, triggering a massive earthquake. Li Xiu was about to return to Beijing to report back, but was ambushed by horse bandits just days before his departure, which was truly outrageous. Firstly, they feared that Li Xiu would report their incompetence to the Emperor upon his return, and secondly, they were also afraid of being held accountable by Li Xiu, which they could not bear. Therefore, led by the Deputy King and the Provincial Governor, high-ranking officials launched a campaign to eliminate the bandits.

  After returning, Li Xue also caught a cold, but after the imperial doctor from the Dai Wang Fu came to see him and prescribed some medicine, he recovered quickly and was soon back to his usual self.

  Ru Jing heard about this, and couldn't help but look down on him. He's a martial artist, after all! Yet when they both fell into the water, she's still as lively as ever, while he actually got sick - truly a pampered prince indeed.

  Finally, Li Xiu specially came to Jiangjunfu for a visit. Zhiyi received him in the front hall and learned that he had come specifically to thank Ruoqing and offer his condolences. Unfortunately, Ruoqing was a lady in deep boudoir and it was not suitable for her to meet guests, so Li Xiu did not press the matter and only left behind many nourishing gifts.

  Li Xiong left the capital immediately, because in the previous days of fighting against the horse thieves, he had lost many guards. So Zhiyi personally dispatched soldiers to escort Li Xiong out of Shanxi and ordered people to protect him on his way back to the capital.

  She let out a long sigh of relief, patted her chest and said, "Good, I'm finally back." This time she was not afraid that the secret would be leaked. As long as Li Xiao's bodyguards didn't say anything, there shouldn't be any big problems.
