The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

It is because we care too much that we become more careful.

--Inscription

The moment it was put on, Fan Nuoxi's body became a little more transparent.

"I have been sorry for you these days."

Originally, I should have borne all the pain, but...

At this time, Dongfang Junyan on the small couch murmured unconsciously, "Nuoxi, where are you?"

"Please don't leave me..."

"Nuoxi..."

Hearing the sound, Fan Nuoxi quickly covered the frog with a quilt and came to Dongfang Junyan.

What she saw was Dongfang Junyan's hand wrapped like Doraemon. Fan Nuoxi's eyes turned red. "Silly boy, you didn't take good care of yourself when I was not around!"

She lowered her head and gently kissed Dongfang Junyan's injured right hand, and her whole body suddenly became more transparent.

"Wait for me, I'll try to come back as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fan Nuoxi suddenly turned into a red flower and disappeared.

That flower was nothing else but the appearance of the fruit of sin when it blooms. Its shape was like an umbrella, and its flower stalk was like an umbrella handle. It was small but eye-catching.

"Don't...don't go..."

Suddenly, Dongfang Junyan woke up suddenly, with fear in his eyes.

He got up nervously and came to Fan Nuoxi's bed. Looking at the frog sleeping soundly, the uneasiness in his heart dissipated a little.

"It seems to be just a nightmare..."

Thinking back to his dream of Fan Nuoxi wearing a gorgeous red dress and suddenly turning into flower petals all over the sky and disappearing away before his eyes, the fear still made him unable to recover.

He squatted quietly beside the bed, reached out his hand through the quilt and touched the frog's heart. After feeling a beating in his palm, he seemed to suddenly lose his strength and his body went limp.

"Nuoxi, I'm so scared..."

I really want to take you far away, but troubles come one after another.

It’s all because I’m not good enough…

Suddenly, he smelled a scent belonging to Fan Nuoxi, and that scent came from the back of his bandaged hand.

Dongfang Junyan subconsciously sniffed the palm and then the back of his hand. The two scents were similar, yet slightly different.

The scent on the back of his hand made him worried. The scent on the palm of his hand was separated by the quilt. Although it was still mixed with the scent of the quilt and medicine powder, it always lacked that fascinating feeling.

Suddenly realizing a fact, his eyes became much redder.

Nuoxi, you will come back, right?

After finally calming down, Dongfang Junyan reached out his uninjured hand to touch the frog's head.

"Ah-"

The sleeping frog suddenly felt a little stuffy in his head and opened his eyes subconsciously.

She jumped onto the quilt and looked Dongfang Junyan left and right.

She froze at the sight of his hands being wrapped so ridiculously.

"Awake? Did you sleep well?" Dongfang Junyan lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the pain in his eyes, and spoke softly.

Nuoxi, even if there is only one soul and three spirits left in your body, I will always be with you.

But where has your soul gone?

If only I could bear this pain for you...

"Gu--why are you staying by my bed?"

Suddenly, the frog felt a heat in his chest and began to speak in human language.

The moment he finished speaking, the frog covered his mouth with his paws in shock.

Seeing the star-like necklace firmly worn on her paw, she subconsciously touched the doll necklace around her neck with her paw.

Was it she who came?

The frog was a little dazed.

This scene, of course, was seen in every detail by Dongfang Junyan.

She now looks like her but not completely her. Who could be living in this shell?

"Are you hungry? How about I ask someone to bring some food over?" Dongfang Junyan asked, his tone full of subconscious doting.

The frog touched his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."

After saying that, Dongfang Junyan took out a handkerchief and put the frog on it. He then used his uninjured hand to hold the frog on his chest along with the handkerchief, and walked step by step to a nearby coffee table and sat down.

The frog placed on the coffee table was obviously flattered and didn't even dare to look at Dongfang Junyan.

Why does he look at me in a weird way?

Afterwards, the palace servants brought some food that Fan Nuoxi liked.

The frog looked at the delicacies on the coffee table, subconsciously moved forward and acted as if he liked them very much.

With Dongfang Junyan watching, the frog naturally ate with some reluctance.

Seeing this, Dongfang Junyan pretended to have something to do and went out.

After going out, Dongfang Junyan sent people to secretly observe the frog's every move, especially which dish the frog liked best.

He went to the small pavilion outside the hall, his eyes empty, and carefully recalled every detail of his recent time with Fan Nuoxi.

After she ate the fruit, she first lost control and then lost her memory. At the beginning, she must have been Nuoxi...

After all, those little movements that are unique to Fan Nuoxi are not as smooth as anything else that can be replicated.

Ever since that little doll from unknown origin appeared...

Suddenly, he remembered the more than ten days that Fan Nuoxi had been in a coma in the inheritance space. After she woke up, she was completely different from before.

Could it be that at that time, Nuoxi was left with only one soul and three spirits?

Then who is the person who stayed with them at that time and has been with them until now and who controls her body?

Or... from the moment she ate that fruit, she was no longer herself?

Dongfang Junyan suddenly felt a little guilty.

He felt like he had betrayed Fan Nuoxi.

Thinking of this, how could he sit still?

At this time, the stalker appeared beside Dongfang Junyan.

"My Lord, the meal that person likes is not the same as the Empress's..."

After listening to the report, Dongfang Junyan became even more confused...

At this time, Ruochen appeared quietly.

"Your hand is badly injured. Do you need me to take a look?"

Dongfang Junyan came back to his senses, turned around and looked at Ruochen, "It wouldn't hurt to take a look."

This guy is considered a favored person and has never been hurt anywhere on his body.

Dongfang Junyan sat down in front of him feeling a little depressed and stretched out his hand reluctantly.

The two looked at each other. Ruochen looked at Dongfang Junyan's injured hand, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Hey, it's really unfortunate that you injured your hand."

"Hmm..." Dongfang Junyan said in a bad mood.

"Why, did she bully you again?"

He looked around and said to Ruochen through his telepathic consciousness, "Now Nuoxi only has one soul and three spirits left. I can't be sure who is in her body now..."

Ruochen responded incredulously, "Really?"

But he did not forget to treat Dongfang Junyan's injuries.

"It's absolutely true. I wonder if you have any way to get her soul back?" Dongfang Junyan continued to transmit the message.

"Then this... is a bit difficult to deal with..." Ruochen couldn't help but worry.

He can still sense Fan Nuoxi's location, which is in that hall.

Maybe, Xixi's souls did not disappear, but something went wrong.

Ruochen subconsciously felt a little guilty, and was even a little absent-minded when treating Dongfang Junyan's injuries.

If only he hadn't given her that fruit...

"Ah-"

Suddenly, a frog jumped onto the stone table.

"It's all my fault. I let you get hurt like this..." Frog looked at Dongfang Junyan's hand that was oozing with pus and couldn't help crying.

Ruochen and Dongfang Junyan looked at each other and said in a voice transmission, "Since she is here, why don't I find a chance to show her?"

But after not seeing her for a few hours, she could actually speak human language. It seems that there is something fishy going on.

"Yeah." Dongfang Junyan nodded slightly.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped the frog's eyes. "It's okay. My injury will heal soon."

The frog couldn't help but shed more and more tears.

Doesn't she know how serious his injury is?

Ruochen's half-hearted treatment would only make his hand hurt more and heal more slowly. If he was not careful, his entire palm would rot.

Thinking of her previous experience in treating Feng Qingqing, she stretched out her claws and placed them on Dongfang Junyan's wound.

Please, get well soon!

Ruochen and Dongfang Junyan looked at the frog's actions, somewhat puzzled, until they both realized that a force surging from the frog's body was healing Dongfang Junyan's hand, and there was more surprise in their eyes.

Ruochen felt a little itchy and freed one hand to touch the frog's head, but was frightened by the look in the frog's eyes.
