When Qianxue and Susong's emotions stabilized, it was already nighttime. Feng Changqing had Qi Lin stay with them for the night while he rushed off to handle some matters.
This was their first time sitting quietly together since they were separated last time. Qianxue told Qi Lin that two months after they were forced out of Drunken Flower Building, Mu Qingfeng found her and redeemed her from servitude, bringing her here, only to find out Susong had already been settled in as well. Not only that, but he also brought in a renowned doctor to treat them, yet the doctors couldn't help Susong.
In the end, it was Mu Qingfeng who invited Yu Mu; considering Qi Lin's sake, Yu Mu finally stepped in and treated Susong, managing only to restore her to her current condition. She could now move around using a specially made wheelchair, use her hands to pick up chopsticks, but her voice would never regain its former clarity.
As for Qianxue herself, although she was free again, she couldn't live as carefree as before; since entering this place, they had not ventured out.
Towards the end of their conversation, Qianxue mocked, "We never expected that we'd fall into such a predicament because of you, yet in the end, we received such grace because of you."
From Qianxue's mouth, Qi Lin learned that they didn't know Feng Changqing was the Emperor; they only knew him as White Scholar.
Their conversation continued into midnight. By then, Qianxue and Susong were already asleep from exhaustion, but Qi Lin couldn’t fall asleep at all. She got up quietly to adjust their blankets and could hear Susong's very uneasy breathing, causing her heartache once more. Qi Lin swore she would protect them.
She poured herself a glass of iced tea and walked over to the bedside. The moon was bright tonight, with occasional bats flying by. Eventually, Qi Lin sat by the window. Her encounter with the ghost figure had only increased people's fear of the shadowy figure; even during daytime, most kept to their homes, while some parents reluctantly ventured out just to buy their children a string of hawthorn candies.
The black-clad men from the barbarian tribes... Qi Lin concealed the truth. She didn’t want to ask Feng Changqing about it, and he hadn't asked her either.
But their silence doesn't mean they were unaware; just like this meeting, Feng Changqing spoke less than usual and looked much more haggard. He even let Qi Lin stay here alone. These changes seemed to be covering up things neither of them wanted to talk about.
Sitting by the window for half an hour, Qi Lin started feeling drowsy and was just about to return to bed when she detected a familiar wild beast scent from outside.
Unknowingly, her blood began to feel excited. She peered down carefully but saw nothing. Then she looked at the street; there, in the night, a pair of mysterious azure eyes appeared. Qi Lin covered her mouth, excited.
Dressing quickly, she quietly shut the door and walked out under the moonlight. The owner of those eyes was already waiting for her by the gate.
“Little White,” she called softly as she ran over to hug Little White’s neck and bury her head in his fur.
Little White closed his eyes, enjoying Qi Lin's embrace while licking her with his tongue a few times.
"How did you get here" Only after the reunion did Qi Lin realize something was off about Little White being here. This place was miles away from White Tiger Mountain and required passing through city gates; there was no way Little White could have come silently. On tiptoe, she pulled on Little White’s ears and whispered closely to him, "How did you get in"
The little white tilted its head, a big question mark appearing above it. After understanding Qi Lin's words, the question mark turned into an exclamation mark as it started digging at the ground with its front paws and then crouched down to crawl forward on all fours. After moving some distance, it looked back at Qi Lin with its tongue hanging out.
Qi Lin understood what the little white was trying to say; it seemed like he had dug a tunnel to get inside. It made sense too, as there were likely dog holes in this highly guarded place that the little white could have used to enter.
"Is anyone else here with you" Perhaps other wolf packs followed him in. If so, wouldn't the place go crazy Qi Lin squatted down on the ground, but the little white sat up higher than her, so she had to stand back up to be at eye level with it. "Ah Man, and Chuxi—did they come too"
The little white blinked its eyes and nodded. Seeing Qi Lin smile, it extended its tongue and licked her face, making her drenched in saliva as she helplessly shook her head.
Qi Lin was worried though; if the little white stood among people like this, wouldn't they be scared to death But ignoring him wasn’t an option either, because he would definitely rush over to roll around and act cute and adorable once he saw her.
What could she do
Seeing Qi Lin frown, the little white thought she was angry. It bent its front paws, rolled over onto its back, stared at Qi Lin with big eyes, and wagged its tail nonstop, stirring up dust everywhere.
"Haha."
The little white made her burst out laughing. Qi Lin surrendered completely and rubbed the little white's neck.
Just then, the little white tensed up all over, rolled back onto its feet, and looked cautiously behind Qi Lin with a vigilant expression. Knowing this meant an enemy was approaching, Qi Lin turned around but saw nothing; she still moved carefully to her side, grabbing onto the little white's fur while looking around.
"Ooof."
The little white crouched down into an attacking posture and stared ahead with a warning sound.
Qi Lin finally saw a distant figure. Even though it was far away, she could still recognize the person.
"Fu Sang." She hadn't expected him to show up here. And he didn’t seem surprised by the little white’s presence.
Qi Lin warily watched Fu Sang, afraid that he might use some hidden weapon and hurt the little white.
"Miss, what a refined pleasure you have; coming out in this late hour to entertain your pet. But I know my sins are heavy, so I can't sleep at all tonight" As Fu Sang walked toward Qi Lin, stopping about 100 meters away from her.
Qi Lin didn’t back down and retorted while keeping an eye on his hands, ready to signal the little white to leave if he made any move. Smirking, she said coldly, "Then Miss thanks Master Fu Sang for remembering our karmic connection."
Fuck you, because of your existence, this sinful woman has become sinful. We are destined to be foes, Qi Lin thought to herself and then said, "However, I am hesitant to accept such kindness from a gentleman."
Hua Sang did not get angry when Qi Lin spoke like that; however, he couldn't find any words to refute her either. He could only say, "Then please take care of yourself. This humble one is tired and must leave now."
Qi Lin was surprised by Hua Sang's unexpected departure and blinked in astonishment but did not let down her guard.
"Ahhh~"
Suddenly, Xiaobai stared intently at something beside them. Qi Lin was distracted by the white tiger’s actions and when she turned back around, felt a heavy blow on her head, then everything went black as she fell to the ground.
"Ahhh~"
Xiaobai looked worriedly at Qi Lin and then saw someone approach them. The person stroked Xiaobai's head and picked up Qi Lin before leaving with her. Xiaobai followed after him.
Hua Sang coldly smiled, "Hmph, in the end, you still ended up doing this." Then he turned around to leave.
Qi Lin had a dream where she was inside a room filled with mirrors and saw her own reflection everywhere. A person emerged from behind one of the mirrors and smiled at her; however, Qi Lin could only see his smile but not his face. Another figure then appeared without smiling—holding a dagger, he stabbed at Qi Lin from behind.
Qi Lin instinctively stepped back until she stood in front of the smiling person. At that moment, she received a long sword and out of fear, thrust it towards the one with the dagger. When blood flowed to her hand, however, pain shot through her back as a long sword pierced through her heart.
"Ouch!"
Qi Lin touched her neck unconsciously and called out in pain. She slowly opened her eyes to see a pale hand suspended in midair and reached out to grasp it, but the pain in her neck made her withdraw back.
"You're awake" Yu Mu retracted his hand and said softly, "Drink this."
Qi Lin had not fully recovered when she tried moving her head, causing her to grimace from the pain.
Where am I Qi Lin asked weakly before intending to continue sleeping. But Xiaobai's figure flickered in and out of her sight until the scene froze on the sharp gaze in his blue eyes. Qi Lin suddenly sat up, "Ah, it hurts."
Yu Mu was used to Qi Lin’s reactions and handed her a bowl of medicine saying, "This is blood-activating medicine; after drinking this, you will feel better."
Qi Lin was slightly stunned and said, "Yu Mu... How did you end up here"
"This is the Bamboo Leisure Cottage. Where does Miss Xue think I should be" Yu Mu smiled faintly and passed the bowl of medicine again, saying, "Drink it."
Qi Lin awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth and took the bowl of medicine, saying, "How did I end up in the Bamboo Leisure Cottage Oh right, is there any..."
"Drink." Yu Mu gave Qi Lin a more radiant smile and made an inviting gesture.
“Hehe.”
In the end, after drinking the medicine, Qi Lin lay face down while allowing Yu Mu to needle her. Although it was still acupuncture, there wasn’t any pain when Yu Mu inserted the needles.
Simultaneously, Yu Mu told Qi Lin that if she dared to move even a little bit, she would become paralyzed, which left Qi Lin in the same posture for nearly an hour.
During this time, Qi Lin learned from Yu Mu that it was Winterhoneysuckle who had seen her unconscious on the street and rescued her. At the time, Little White was also present and thought Qi Lin would be eaten by a wolf. Even though Winterhoneysuckle initially intended to take another route, he couldn’t bear the guilty conscience and returned to save her. Although there was some confrontation, when Little White knew that he was a friend of Qi Lin’s, it obediently allowed Winterhoneysuckle to take her away.
Of course, Winterhoneysuckle didn’t see anyone else, while Qi Lin had been unconscious for an entire day; it was now early afternoon.
"Then I really should thank Winterhoneysuckle." Qi Lin always thought that Winterhoneysuckle was just someone with a bitter expression and wouldn’t care about her life or death, but she hadn’t expected him to save her.
However, who could it be attacking her last night Fujian wouldn’t do such a thing; Bai Qianye But if it were Bai Qianye, he would probably choose to immobilize her by pressing acupoints. Was it him then
Shaking her head and not wanting to think about it further, Qi Lin also inquired from Yu Mu regarding the affairs of Zhu Xi and others and added a word of thanks.
"You’ve changed."
To her surprise, Yu Mu would say something like that. Qi Lin looked at him in astonishment and asked with a smile, "Changed into what"
"More sentimental," Yu Mu said indifferently as he pulled out the needles from Qi Lin’s neck one by one and continued, "However, the more you have to consider, the clearer your weaknesses become."
Qi Lin lowered her eyelids; she naturally knew what Yu Mu was talking about. She then said, "This just proves that... I am human after all."
Yu Mu smiled slightly and handed Qi Lin a sachet, saying, "I heard your sachet was being used by someone else. This is one I made for you myself; take it and use it. It’s best to be cautious in the future."
The warmth in Qi Lin’s heart grew as she took the sachet; its scent was similar to before, but she knew that its effects must have changed.ed half of it. I didn't expect the emperor would say such things to this concubine."The moment she finished speaking, Feng Changqing suddenly grabbed Qi Lin's hand tightly, squeezing her wrist painful...
