"Dong dong!"

A light, cautious voice sounded from above. Yun Nian raised his head and looked at the beams on the roof, somewhat puzzled.

Wei Qingjue? Or Fuqiu? Or the bird just now?

She thought for a moment, then took out a long, thin hairpin that she had sharpened to a point when she was bored. It fit perfectly in her hand.

Yun Nian didn't even notice that she was so afraid of seeing blood before, but now she picked up a weapon herself, ready to strike first when facing danger.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door made a hoarse whine, which scared her. Yun Nian clutched the hairpin tightly to her chest, walked a few steps toward the hot spring, and then looked up at the roof.

But there was nothing there, no people, no birds, so what on earth was that?

She became even more nervous and was about to call for help, but she suddenly saw two figures appear in front of her.

"I told you not to scare her."

Although the gentle female voice used accusatory words, her tone was smiling.

The other voice sounded much more careless. Huo Daiyu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"But Sisi is really cute when she's scared. Didn't you try to stop me at the beginning?"

The two were still joking, but Yun Nian had already thrown the hairpin away, rushed forward, and hugged his two friends.

"Hmm? So enthusiastic?"

Huo Daiyu raised her hands in confusion, not knowing where to put them. Instead, Shen Ningsi grabbed her hands and pressed Yun Nian tightly into her arms.

"Concentrating... Dai Yu..."

The girl, who was a head shorter than her, pursed her lips, yelled out her name, and tears fell down in a flash, scaring her two friends so much that they hurried to comfort her.

"What happened to your hair? Why did it become so short? Don't you cherish your long hair the most? Who did this?"

"What's going on? Did someone really bully you? Was it that guy Yun Shuo? I told you he had bad intentions, but those brainless ladies thought he was so elegant."

The fingertips she stretched out were burned by her tears, and Huo Daiyu was so angry that she started to attack the person she thought was the culprit without knowing the truth. Although it was not wrong to say so, Yun Nian was still amused.

"If those girls knew you said that about their sweethearts, they would want to throw you into the lake."

Shen Ningsi carefully looked at her expression, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he did not see the deep despair he had seen before, and then comforted her.

"Don't worry, Dai Yu is very powerful, those people can't beat her."

Yun Nian finally reacted and brought his friend into the room. He then tiptoed to the door facing the courtyard and dragged a chair over to use as a bolt.

Then he sat on his bed, patted the mattress, and motioned for them to sit over there.

Huo Daiyu looked at his clothes, took off his coat and sat on it, while Shen Ningsi just shook her head and sat on the stool next to him.

"How did you find this place?"

Thinking of this, Yun Nian was a little excited. She was worried about how to send the letter to her friend. She even wanted to trick the bird to deliver it once, but she didn't know if it knew the way.

Her friends looked at each other with some hesitation, and finally sighed.

"It was the news Ning Sinian sent. Dai Yu and I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion but were turned away. They said they would not let us see you no matter what. I was worried that you were in danger and was almost scared to death."

Huo Daiyu also looked puzzled. Obviously, for her, it was hard to accept the news that Ning Sinian was in prison.

"How can this guy be so restless even though he's in prison? The same goes for the Regent. How can someone take advantage of his territory?"

Hearing this, Shen Ningsi leaned forward.

"By the way, what is your relationship with the Regent? You didn't tell me the last time I asked you."

The most they knew was that Wei Qingjue must like their Sisi, but what about Sisi? What did Sisi think about this?

Ning Sinian is out, and Zuo Mingyuan seems to have never returned to the capital, so he is not considered for the time being.

Although the Regent is a little older, he is indeed a rare handsome man.

"Ah? I forgot to tell you, Ningsi, Daiyu,"

Yun Nian twisted her fingers around her hair, and it seemed to have grown longer, but she couldn't detect the subtle length with her eyes.

"I seem to have forgotten a lot of things. My thoughts on the Regent are still based on what people say about him, but I also feel very close to him. As for my hair, I have also forgotten why it became so short."

When she was twisting her hair, the scar on her palm was exposed, and was immediately noticed by the sharp-eyed Huo Daiyu.

Yun Nian's hand was grabbed, and her curled fingers were forcefully pried apart.

"What is this? Are you injured? The wound is so deep that you can see the bone. Your hand was almost broken. Sisi, you..."

She seemed to want to say something reprimanding, but when she saw Yun Nian's obedient smile, she could only sigh.

"You..."

“I said I didn’t remember.”

Fortunately, she didn't remember it, otherwise she wouldn't know how to explain it to her friends.

Yun Nian thought with a bit of amusement,

"So, I want to ask you what happened to me before, so that I won't be confused."

Shen Ningsi and Huo Daiyu looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected things to become so difficult and even worse than they had expected.

"us……"

Shen Ningsi hesitated for a moment, sorting out his thoughts.

"We only saw you once after you came of age. At that time, Sisi, you were in a very bad condition and looked shaky."

"We asked you before, but you didn't seem to want to say more. You just said you didn't want to stay at home any longer."

"But then you changed your mind and sent a letter saying that you needed some quiet time and would not go out for the time being."

That's why they didn't bother her.

But obviously, they didn't expect what happened next.

"I don't know. I'm not sure if I wrote a letter. I seem to have forgotten too many things. My memory is fuzzy, but one thing I can be sure of is that I seem to be very afraid of my family..."

Yun Nian muttered to herself, the last sentence so softly that only she could hear it.

"what?"

Shen Ningsi didn't hear clearly, but her expression became serious.

"Sisi, listen to me, you must appear in the sight of the noble ladies in Luochuan City. The last time the Crown Prince's Consort became Yun Jiao, those guys were talking about it a lot."

"Especially Princess Rongyang, she seems very proud,"
