Liu Xiaolan rushed over and quickly hugged Gao Shixuan who had fallen. He was panicking, and his voice was trembling as he asked, “Little Junior Sister, are you okay?”

“S-second, Second Senior Brother, hurry up and protect the County Princess and Junjin…” Gao Shixuan said weakly. Although her white dress was already stained red with her blood, she was more concerned about Yu Yunxi and the little bun.

At this time, Feng Yili had already killed the perpetrator.

Yu Yunxi rushed over to Gao Shixuan’s side. As she pressed on the latter’s acupoints to stop the bleeding, she said in a low voice, “Stop talking. The position of the injury is a little serious.”

“Yunxi, you have to save Little Junior Sister,” Liu Xiaolan pleaded anxiously.

Yu Yunxi turned around and said, “Qian Jiao, bring me my silver needles immediately.”

“Yes, County Princess.”

Qian Jiao did not dare to delay for a moment and left to look for the needles.

Feng Yili gestured to Jiang Ying and the others to clear the area before he whispered to Yu Yunxi, “Treat her first. I’ll deal with the other matters.”

“Alright.”

Yu Yunxi nodded and asked Qian Mei and Qian Jiao to carry Gao Shixuan to the bed. Seeing that Liu Xiaolan was standing at the side in a daze, she whispered, “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to her.”

Liu Xiaolan gradually calmed down when he heard Yu Yunxi’s words. He nodded and said before he left, “Thank you.’

In just a moment, only Yu Yunxi, Qian Qing, and Gao Shixuan were left in the room.

“Scissors,” Yu Yunxi said as she extended her hand toward Qian Qing.

Qian Qing quickly handed the scissors over.

Yu Yunxi lowered her head and cut the cloth around Gao Shixuan’s wound. At the same time, she said, “It might touch your wound so it might hurt.”

Gao Shixuan forced a smile on her face and said, “Don’t worry, County Princess.

I can still endure such a small injury.”

Yu Yunxi sighed in relief and began to treat Gao Shixuan.

After nearly two hours, Yu Yunxi finally stitched up Gao Shixuan’s wound.

Gao Shixuan’s face was very pale. She had bitten her lip earlier as she endured the pain. She did not make a sound at all.

Yu Yunxi rather admired Gao Shixuan’s endurance. She asked Qian Qing to bring the medicine over. As she fed Gao Shixuan, she said, “Thank you. If you hadn’t made a move earlier, Junjin and I would’ve been injured.”

“I was insensible before and captured Junjin. I regretted my actions a lot, and I’ve been trying to make up for it. Just consider this as me making up for my mistakes,” Gao Shixuan said weakly.

“Miss Gao…”

“If you don’t mind, you can call me Shixuan. I know what I did before is unforgivable, but I really want to be friends with you. After all, you’re Eldest Senior Brother’s Princess Consort. We shouldn’t be enemies,” Gao Shixuan said sincerely.

Yu Yunxi was silent for a while before she said gently, “Alright. Let’s just put the past behind us. Rest well, Shixuan. I’m going to brew more medicine for you.”

Seeing that Yu Yunxi had agreed, Gao Shixuan smiled. “Okay.”

When Yu Yunxi left the room with Qian Qing, she said, “In the future, there’s no need to send people to keep an eye on her.”

Qian Qing was briefly stunned. Then, she quickly nodded. “Yes, County Princess.”

When they arrived, Feng Yili was interrogating a few men, whom he had deliberately spared.

Yu Yunxi quickly walked over and asked, “How’s it going?”

When she saw the two men’s faces clearly, she thought to herself, ‘As expected, it’s the drunkard and the employee…’

‘Since you’ve caught us, you should just kill us as soon as possible,” the drunkard said. Although his face was full of injuries, he was still very arrogant.

Seeing that Jiang Xin was about to kill him, Yu Yunxi stopped the former and walked over. “Tell me, who sent you here?”

“My life is worthless. If you want to kill me, go ahead. No matter what, we won’t betray our employer,” the drunkard said contemptuously.

“Princess Consort, he’s really stubborn. I’ll teach him a lesson for you,” Jiang Ying said as he swung the whip in his hand angrily.

However, Yu Yunxi stopped Jiang Ying again. The drunkard had referred to the person behind the scene as his employer. This meant they were hired assassins. They took money from the other person to help the other person remove obstacles, but they were surprisingly very loyal. As such, it was useless to use death to threaten them.

“The worst thing in the world is not necessarily death… What’s worse is that feeling is the pain that makes you wish you’re dead…” Yu Yunxi said as she brought two pills and stuffed them in the mouths of the drunkard and the employee.

“Y-you… What did you feed us?”

The drunkard’s expression finally showed signs of cracking.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” Yu Yunxi said, clapping her hands. She asked Qian Jiao to bring a chair over, and she sat in front of the drunkard and the employee.

Soon enough, the poison began to take effect.

“It hurts, it hurts…”

The employee’s expression twisted fiercely. He bit his lip until it bled, and he dug his nails into his palms, gouging them.

The drunkard’s control was slightly better, but based on his expression, it was not difficult to tell that he was in great pain.

The duo really could no longer endure it. They wanted to bite their tongues off to commit suicide.

At this moment, Yu Yunxi said with a sneer, “It’s useless. Biting off your tongue won’t kill you. It’ll only make you suffer more.”

The drunkard looked at the pillar at the side, planning to hit his head on it.

However, Jiang Ying and the others were on guard and standing nearby. The duo had no chance at all to commit suicide.

“I’ll give you one last chance. Tell me who sent you, and I’ll consider giving you a quick death,” Yu Yunxi said indifferently as she smoothed out the wrinkle on her sleeve.

The drunkard was still stubborn, but the employee could no longer hold on. He said, “I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you! It was Consort Qin who sent us!”

“Trash! Shut up!”

The drunkard glared at the employee murderously. If he was not tied up, he would have killed the other party.

“Brother Liu, I, I really can’t hold on any longer… I’m not like you, who’s loyal to Consort Qin,” the employee replied tremblingly.

Yu Yunxi and Feng Yili exchanged a look. Their eyes flashed with different emotions. Based on the employee’s words, it seemed like the drunkard’s relationship with Consort Qin was not ordinary…

Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow and asked, “What evidence do you have to prove that Consort Qin sent you?”

The employee only wanted to die quickly at this moment.. He did not hesitate and quickly replied, “I, I have Consort Qin’s token and the letter she wrote!”
