It turns out that the smell of alcohol on his body was not just medicinal wine, it could also cover up the smell of blood.

I sighed, followed his instructions, poured the golden wound medicine on the wound, and bandaged it again. "Is this treatment okay? Do you want to see a doctor?"

"That will happen after daybreak, so it's fine for now." His tone was patient and gentle.

I looked up at him, feeling a little weird. If the nonsense he said just now was a deliberate counterattack, then I really have a better impression of the person in front of me. He is the first non-predetermined NPC I have met in this world. He is related to the plot, but the connection is not that close, and his identity is still a mystery.

"That person in Xu's house, was it really you?" Seeing that he seemed to be in a good mood, I took the opportunity to ask.

"Which one?" His expression of smiling with his eyes slightly narrowed made my heart beat faster again.

"That's it..." These words didn't seem appropriate to be said openly. We were sitting very close to each other, and without much thought, I put my arms around his waist. I couldn't recognize his face, and although the timbre of his voice was similar, it was not real evidence. Only the memory of the body was the most real.

It was so real that I could feel he was alive, even the sound of his heart beating in his chest seemed to be right next to my ears.

I don’t know how long I held him like this, and even my memory of what happened afterwards is a little fuzzy.

The next morning, when I woke up from my bed, I suspected that I had a strange dream the night before. I dreamed that I ran to the Beast Court in the middle of the night to meet the man who used the alias Jia Liu. He was actually a dangerous spy and was injured.

My mind was a little confused the whole morning. If it was a dream, why did I remember the details so clearly? If it was reality, why did some of the plots seem fragmented and incomplete?

That night, when Situ Jue came back from outside, he went to see the Concubine Dowager. Coincidentally, the Concubine Dowager called me over to have dinner with her.

For several days in a row, Situ Jue was busy with the affairs of the Xu Mansion and went out early and came back late.

The news he brought back today was truly explosive.

It turned out that Princess Yanyun was not dead, and the two female corpses found in the guest room where the fire broke out in Xu's mansion were indeed her maids. The reason why she made such a plan was to frame Su Mei, and even wanted to put her to death.

When Situ Jue reported to the concubine, he roughly summarized the conclusion of the case.

At the time of the incident, one of Princess Yanyun's maids changed into Princess Yanyun's dress and set up a trap with another maid in the guest room to lure Su Mei into the trap, hoping to put the blame on her for the death. Princess Yanyun herself had already secretly left Xu's house and hid outside the city.

However, Princess Yanyun refused to admit that she was the one who started the fire. After a long argument, the Princess's Mansion finally paid compensation for the repair costs of the Xu Mansion. The Emperor also scolded the Princess and punished her by confining her house to the house for a month and not allowing her to go out.

"That's good, that's good. The princess is fine, it was finally a false alarm." The concubine stroked her chest, "The Xu family has survived the disaster, Fuyang, please prepare for me, I want to write a letter to Old Madam Xu."

"I've been so busy that I haven't had a single bite of dinner." Situ Jue was in a rare good mood and started to act coquettishly towards the concubine in front of me.

"Let someone prepare the dishes for you. Xingye and I are halfway through our meal. See if there's anything else you want to eat and have someone prepare it!"

I have been listening quietly on the side. This matter is over. Princess Yanyun is fine, but her plan to frame Su Mei with the lives of her two maids has also failed. Based on what I saw at the scene, it seems that it is not that simple. Jia Liu does not seem to be someone arranged by Princess Yanyun.

Who would have thought that in the world created by a novel about rebirth in ancient Chinese language, there would be such complicated side stories outside of the plot.

I have no idea what the relationship is, and I'm too lazy to think about it.

Situ Jue reached out and picked up my soup bowl and took a sip. I was so surprised that my eyes widened, "That's mine!"

"I am the owner of this palace. Everything here belongs to me, including you. Now tell me, whose soup belongs to you?" He took advantage of the time when the concubine went to the inner room to write a letter to talk.

"It's yours, drink more if you like." I picked up the new bowl brought by the servant and scooped myself another bowl, but it was taken away by Situ Jue again.

He handed back the empty bowl, and I suddenly felt full.

Did this guy let himself go because he solved his sweetheart's troubles? Why is he acting like a child? So boring!

After finally accompanying Situ Jue to finish dinner, the concubine kept winking at me, "Jue'er has been very busy these past few days, isn't it time for you to take a good rest? I think you should move in together sooner. It's not right for a couple to not live in the same yard."

Situ Jue glanced at me. I had no expression on my face, so he spoke first, "Mother, we will take care of these small matters ourselves, so don't worry about it."

"I don't worry, when can I hold my grandson?"

When I came out of the concubine's yard, I couldn't wait to shake off Situ Jue's hand.

In front of the Toffee, he held my hand to show that our relationship had improved, which also made the Toffee happy.

"Why don't you consider this, Your Majesty? Xi Que has been in good health since she was young, and she..."

"What do you mean by this?" The smile on his face gradually faded.

"To carry on the family line."

"Then what do I need you, the princess, for?"

"If you want to change the princess, that's fine." I shrugged, not caring at all.

At the fork in the road ahead, I gave him a very perfunctory greeting before turning and heading towards Suxin Pavilion.

I returned to my territory and sat there for a while before I heard someone outside delivering a message saying that the prince wanted Xi Que to sleep with him.

Although I said that I wanted to push Xi Que to the position of a concubine, Situ Jue sent someone to take her away directly, and openly stated his purpose, which was a bit too ugly. Although I don't understand the rules of a wealthy family, there are still some in my original memory. Taking a concubine is not as good as marrying a wife, but at least the sense of ceremony should be there.

For a woman, it is considered as getting married, but the expression on Xi Que's face shows that she doesn't seem to care.

Since she agreed, I couldn't say anything and just let her go with the person who came.

In the middle of the night, when I was half asleep, I heard some noises beside my bed. I opened my eyes and saw a vague figure standing beside my bed. I almost woke up with fright. Fortunately, I was really sleepy, so I turned over and covered my head with the quilt. No matter whether it was a human figure or a ghost, the quilt method can eliminate all evil spirits.

The result was that he fell into a deep sleep and was not woken up until noon by the maid.

"Princess, wake up, the prince has sent someone here."

"what?"
