When Jiang Rou woke up the next morning, she could still feel the pain in her abdomen. This time it was not her deliberate attempt to gain sympathy.

Jiang Rou thought of the warm palm last night, and her lips curled up slightly. Ji Huaian kept her belly warm all night last night. It seems that her company during this period was effective. Once a man is interested in a woman, he will start to fall in love with her.

The door was pushed open, and Jiang Rou saw a familiar figure. She shouted in surprise, "Yingtao, why are you here?" Yingtao saw that she woke up, and walked towards her quickly with a lunch box, calling "Sister Rou".

She put down the lunch box and threw herself into Jiang Rou's arms, hugging her and sobbing slightly, "Sister Rou, it's so good that you're still alive. I thought... I thought... wuwuwuwu," Cherry spoke in a intermittent voice.

Jiang Rou gently stroked her back with one hand to help her calm down, and said softly, "Sister is here, don't cry, don't cry."

Under Jiang Rou's gentle soothing voice, Yingtao gradually stopped crying. She seemed to have thought of something, and she picked up the food box that she had placed on the ground, put it on the table, opened it, and took out a bowl of black medicine.

She carefully brought it to Jiang Rou, looked up and said to her, "Sister Rou, drink it quickly. The prince instructed that this medicine should be taken while it is hot."

Jiang Rou took the medicine bowl and asked, "Did the prince order this?", with a hint of doubt in her voice.

Yingtao answered defenselessly, "Yes, before Sister Rou woke up, the prince asked a doctor to treat her, and this medicine was prescribed by the doctor." Jiang Rou nodded and asked softly, "Then do you know where the prince is now?"

Yingtao shook her head and said, "I don't know. The prince told me to deliver the medicine and then left." Jiang Rou nodded and lowered her head to drink the medicine. The bitter taste of the medicine made Jiang Rou frown.

Upon seeing this, Cherry immediately took out the small purse from her waist, opened it, took out a fruit and put it next to Jiang Rou's mouth and said, "Sister Rou, eat it quickly." Jiang Rou held the plum in her mouth to slightly relieve the bitterness in her mouth.

Seeing her frown relax, Cherry breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Prince is very thoughtful. This black medicine looks bitter."

Jiang Rou held the plum in her mouth and pondered secretly. The sweet taste of the plum melted in her mouth. She didn't expect that this was also prepared by Ji Huaian. It seemed that Ji Huaian cared about her more than she thought.

She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then calmly asked Yingtao, "Have those old ladies in the kitchen ever bullied you after I left?"

Hearing Jiang Rou's caring words, Yingtao's eyes turned red again, like a child who had found someone to lean on. She leaned in Jiang Rou's arms and complained, "Because the young master was burned, all the servants in the mansion were punished. Those old ladies were so angry that they could only take it out on me. Last night they locked me outside the house again. I wanted to stay in front of the stove all night, but I didn't expect to meet the prince."

As she spoke, Cherry woke up from Jiang Rou's arms and continued to say to her, "The prince asked me if I could make medicine, and then I was brought back by the prince. I didn't expect to meet my sister."

Hearing her say this, Jiang Rou finally understood why Cherry was here. She grabbed Cherry's hand and said with guilt, "It's my fault that you got involved." Cherry immediately shook her head and said, "It's not my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the young master." As she spoke, she looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she found that there was no one around.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Rou smiled and tapped her forehead, "You," then took her hand and said, "Wait for me to plead with the prince to let you stay here, okay?" Yingtao's eyes widened immediately when she heard it, "Really? Sister Rou, that's great," she said in an excited voice.

When Ji Huaian heard Jiang Rou talking about her and Yingtao, Ji Huaian raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't know that things were so coincidental. Seeing the expectation in Jiang Rou's eyes, he just nodded.

Jiang Rou immediately smiled and said to Ji Huaian, "Thank you, Prince," and then as if she had thought of something, her face suddenly turned red, even her small ears were dyed pink. She bit her lower lip lightly, and clasped her hands in front of her body, looking very embarrassed.

Ji Huaian saw her shy and timid posture, but it was a different picture. Before Jiang Rou could finish her words, she heard Ji Huaian ask, "Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Hearing his words, Jiang Rou's face turned even redder. She bit her lower lip and shook her head, saying to Ji Huaian, "Last night, last night it was the prince who did it for me." Before she finished speaking, she lowered her head, as if she was shy.

When Ji Huaian heard her say this, he understood why she was like that. Jiang Rou paused and continued, "Thank you, Your Highness. I just hope you don't let anyone else know."

Hearing her words, Ji Huaian's face suddenly turned cold. Before he could open his mouth, Jiang Rou looked up at him and said slowly, "I know that my status is humble, and there is a world of difference between me and the prince. If others knew about it, I am afraid it would tarnish the prince's reputation."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Huaian opened his mouth and said, "Why do outsiders think that I am such an impatient person?" Jiang Rou was stunned for a moment when she heard him say this, and hurriedly explained, "Of course not, it's just..."

Ji Huaian interrupted directly, "Or are you afraid that this prince will tarnish your reputation, if that's the case..." Before he finished his words, he heard Jiang Rou hurriedly say "I didn't".

Seeing that Ji Huaian didn't say anything, Jiang Rou continued, "Your Highness is of noble status. It is my blessing that he is willing to spend his time and energy to relieve my pain. I have never offended you." Her tone was sincere and her attitude was humble, but Ji Huaian felt like he was in a dilemma.

After a long time, Ji Huaian was afraid that Jiang Rou had not recovered yet, so he said to her, "Okay, you can go back." After Jiang Rou left, Ji Huaian ignored the unhappy feelings in his heart, picked up the pen and wrote until the candle burned out and the room was plunged into darkness.

Putting down the pen, Ji Huaian noticed a slight sound from the window and smelled a hint of unusual odor. Ji Huaian frowned and held his breath immediately.

A moment later, a man in black climbed into the room through the window and walked towards the bed with a sharp knife in his hand.

He walked to the bed, raised the sharp blade and stabbed it towards the bulge on the bed. Only after the dagger stabbed it did he notice something unusual.

When he came to his senses, he found a gust of fist coming towards him from behind. The man in black immediately dodged and the two men started fighting in the room.

Jiang Rou curled her lips slightly as she thought about Ji Huaian's expression today. She knew that he had feelings for her, but this was definitely not enough.

Just as she was thinking about what to do next, she heard the sound of fighting. She got out of bed and walked to the window. She opened the window and heard it more clearly. The sound came from Ji Huaian's room.

Jiang Rou frowned. Fuyun and Qingfan were not there. It looked like this man was going towards Ji Huaian. She knew that Ji Huaian was good at martial arts and his skills were not low, so she was not too worried about his safety.

What she was struggling with was whether she should go or not. Although Ji Huaian's fighting power was high, no one could guarantee her safety. Although this trip could allow her and Ji Huaian to get closer, what if Ji Huaian couldn't protect her?

The reason she tolerated Wang Po and Er Gou was because she wanted to survive, so she hesitated when faced with something that endangered her personal safety.

Just as she was hesitating, she heard the door open. The two men started fighting from inside the house to outside. Jiang Rou saw through the window that Ji Huaian had the upper hand at this time. She lowered her head and thought for a while before deciding to give it a try.

She tore her dress into a mess, opened the door and walked out. When she saw the scene outside, she exclaimed, and her exclamation attracted the attention of two people.

Ji Huaian frowned when he saw her come out and shouted at her, "Go in, don't come out." Maybe his voice was too loud, Jiang Rou was frightened and her body trembled, and she walked into the house.

Ji Huaian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her enter the house, and focused on dealing with the man in black. Gradually, the man in black began to be unable to withstand it, and was finally stabbed in the abdomen by Ji Huaian's sword.

The man in black covered his abdomen, and Ji Huaian subdued him. Just as he was about to reach out to take off the mask of the man in black, a hidden weapon flew out from his sleeve.

Ji Huaian failed to dodge in time and injured his arm. At this moment the man in black left. Looking at his back, Ji Huaian narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the man in black had difficulty in moving, he seemed to be particularly clear about the layout of the mansion.

When Jiang Rou heard no sound outside, she walked out of the house. As soon as she came out, she saw Ji Huaian in the courtyard. Jiang Rou trotted towards Ji Huaian, came in front of Ji Huaian, looked him up and down, and said in a worried voice, "Is the prince okay?

As she spoke, she noticed Ji Huaian's bleeding arm. Jiang Rou's eyes immediately turned red and she said in a trembling voice, "The Prince is injured," while she held Ji Huaian's injured arm with both hands.

Seeing her like this, Ji Huaian comforted her softly, "It's okay, it just looks serious." It seemed that his indifferent attitude angered Jiang Rou. Jiang Rou raised her voice slightly, "How can it be okay? You're bleeding." Her voice was still tearful. Jiang Rou was very tough and wanted to help Ji Huaian apply medicine.

Ji Huaian had no choice but to agree, but when it came to applying the medicine, Jiang Rou hesitated. It was because Ji Huaian's wound was close to the upper part, so he needed to take off his shirt before applying the medicine.

So Jiang Rou suppressed her shame and took off Ji Huaian's clothes. Ji Huaian had a good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist, but Jiang Rou did not dare to look at him at all. She seemed to be steamed, and applied medicine to Ji Huaian with trembling hands.

At first, Ji Huaian saw that Jiang Rou looked like a cooked duck, his eyebrows slightly raised, his eyes full of teasing.

But when it came time to actually apply the medicine, Ji Huaian also felt like he was going through an ordeal.

Ji Huaian, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, was a well-known gentleman in the capital. He was not interested in women and had no maidservants at the age of twenty.

But at this time, Ji Huaian was in dire straits.
