Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A long arrow was shot directly towards Yao Ji. Standing beside Yao Ji, Rong Mo instinctively reached out, but it was already too late.

At this mont, Si Nian lunged forward.

Si Nian grabbed Yao ji just in ti, and the arrow pierced into his back.

Xue Ji, the one who shot the arrow, watched the scene with deep regret in her eyes.

But the fake mountain had already closed.

“Si Nian?”

On the inner wall of the fake mountain, Yao Ji looked at Si Nian who had collapsed on top of her, her eyes filled with worry.

“I, I’m fine.”

Jiang Peihuan hurriedly approached and checked Si Nian’s pulse.

Seeing that Si Nian was about to speak, she whispered, “Don’t talk for now.”

After checking his pulse thoroughly, Jiang Peihuan sighed in relief, “It’s okay, the heart ridian is not injured.”

“Ye Xiao, give the hemostatic dicine.”

“My Queen, the dicine is here.”

It was very dark inside the fake mountain. Ye Xiao handed the dicine bottle to Jiang Peihuan.

At this mont, a faint light illuminated the air. It was Rong Mo lighting a match.

Using the light, Jiang Peihuan swiftly pulled the arrow from Si Nian’s back and poured the dicine on the wound.

Finally, she wrapped it with gauze.

After all this, Jiang Peihuan told Si Nian, “Be careful with the wound, don’t let it touch water, and it will be fine after so ti.”

“Thank you, Queen Cheng.”

The person who spoke was Yao Ji. Hearing her, Jiang Peihuan softly replied, “Your Majesty, you don’t need to thank . After all, today’s events occurred because of .”

“It’s my fault for causing you trouble.”

“No, don’t bla yourself. Xue Ji has been wanting to take the throne for a long ti.”

“You think hiding in this secret chamber will keep you safe?”

Just as Jiang Peihuan was about to speak, Xue Ji’s voice echoed from a distance. Upon hearing this, the expressions of Jiang Peihuan and the others changed. Jiang Peihuan turned to Yao Ji, “Your Majesty, does Princess Xue Ji know about this secret chamber?”

“She knows about its periter. Let’s go to the lower level.”

Saying this, Yao Ji moved ahead, and the others quickly followed.

The footsteps behind them beca faster. “Huan Er?” At this mont, Xiao

Nanye’s voice reached Jiang Peihuan’s ears.

Hearing his voice, joy filled Jiang Peihuan’s eyes. “Xiao Nanye, you’re awake?” Zhao Yong quickly set Xiao Nanye down, and Jiang Peihuan went to support him.

His voice was hoarse. In the dimness, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t see his face but felt the strength in his grip.

“Split up!”

Leaning on Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye whispered, “This secret chamber is built based on the Bagua diagram. Different paths lead to different exits. We should split up.”

“Alright, then let’s split up.”

Without hesitation, Jiang Peihuan agreed.

Just as Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye turned to the left path, the people behind them vanished.

All Jiang Peihuan heard was Ye Xiao’s shout.

“It’s okay. It’s safer if we scatter.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s backward glance, Xiao Nanye whispered.

Supporting Xiao Nanye, Jiang Peihuan slowly moved forward.

After what seed like a long ti, Jiang Peihuan saw a light. They had walked into a room made entirely of stone. However, Xiao Nanye’s hand was now cold to the touch.

Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but stop, “Xiao Nanye?”

Supporting Xiao Nanye, she had him sit down on a stone bed, looking at him with deep concern in her eyes.

“I’m fine.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s worried look, he gave a soft laugh.

However, Jiang Peihuan noticed that Xiao Nanye’s face was extrely pale, and he was trembling as he spoke.

She quickly took off her cloak and wrapped it around Xiao Nanye.

At first, Xiao Nanye was still able to converse with Jiang Peihuan, but soon he lost consciousness, murmuring about how cold he was.

Jiang Peihuan felt his pulse and found a poisonous toxin circulating within him.

Drawing out a gold needle from her possession, she inserted it directly into Xiao Nanye’s chest.

Xiao Nanye continued to shiver. After a short while, there were nurous gold needles covering him.

Seeing the blackened blood oozing out from the needles, Jiang Peihuan let out a sigh of relief.

Two hours later, Jiang Peihuan removed the needles.

Xiao Nanye’s complexion was a tad better than before, but he continued to shiver.

Jiang Peihuan hugged him tightly, yet it seed to have no effect.

After a long while, she seed to make a decision, and she undid her waistband, removing her clothing. Then she embraced Xiao Nanye and covered herself with his cloak.

Just as she moved closer, Xiao Nanye tightly held onto her. Feeling her warmth, he finally stopped shivering.

The mont she touched Xiao Nanye, she felt a piercing cold. When embraced by him, she couldn’t help but shiver.

After what felt like a long ti, Jiang Peihuan felt so warmth emanating from Xiao Nanye.

Then, she heard his deep voice, “Huan Er?”

Upon hearing his voice, she instinctively looked up at him.

In the dim light, all she could see was her own pale skin reflecting back. Xiao Nanye’s eyes suddenly darkened.

“Huan Er?”

“Yes.”

As she replied, he moved forward to kiss her lips.

This kiss was different from the past – it was careful and sowhat exploratory.

“Xiao Nanye?”

When he released her, she whispered his na. Their mutual desire evident, he held onto Jiang Peihuan and turned them over.

With the flickering lantern light, the two held onto each other tightly on the stone bed.

Before falling asleep, all Jiang Peihuan could sll was the cold scent from

Xiao Nanye mixed with a faint dicinal aroma.

When she woke up, she was alone on the stone bed. If not for the cloak she was wrapped in, she might have believed everything was just a dream.

“Xiao Nanye?”

She called out softly, but there was no response.

She discovered that she was already dressed. Seeing this, her eyes softened.

As she sat up and her feet touched the ground, she felt weak. A hand reached out to steady her, “Huan Er?”

Xiao Nanye had just entered the room and saw Jiang Peihuan almost falling.

Quickly, he reached out to steady her, his expression full of concern, “Did you hurt yourself?”

Seeing the anxiety in his eyes, Jiang Peihuan shook her head, “I’m fine.” “Where did you go?”

“I looked around and found a way out.”
