ow despicable!”"Miss, perhaps you accidentally got some honey on yourself earlier, so those bees have been buzzing around you. This servant will wipe it off for you!" The maidservant Xiaorobo said as..."You, you're bleeding" Ninghua only then noticed blood seeping through the fabric of her chest. She was instantly frightened, her face paling.

"Perhaps I applied too much force and reopened the wound." Xiao Yuge frowned secretly, unconsciously pressing on the wound. Blood flowed down her finger.

“You, you bled so much...” Ninghua was after all a girl. Although she was usually arrogant and fierce, it was just like paper tiger. She had never seen such a real scene of bloodshed before, her face paled with fear.

"Shhh! Do you want everyone outside to hear" Xiao Yuge glared at her and pointed towards the medicine. "If you don't want me to bleed to death, just go get that medicine for me."

"Oh, okay." Ninghua hurried to get the medicine and added, "I'm only helping you because you saved me."

Xiao Yuge bit her lip, ignoring her, and directly took the medicine bottle. Then she gently sprinkled the powder on the wound. The medicine bubbled white and slowly dissolved into the wound, the piercing pain causing Xiao Yuge to let out a muffled groan.

Ninghua, who was standing beside him, watched with pain and instinctively turned her face away.

Xiao Yuge cried out in pain, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Only when the wound had stopped bleeding did she pant softly and say to Ning Hua, who stood there dumbfounded, "Come over and help me bandage it."

"I, I won't..." Ning Hua had never seen so much blood in her life. Hearing that she was to help with the bandages, her face paled from fear.

"If you don't help, how can I do this alone" Xiao Yuge glared at her: "You seem so capable usually, but you chicken out at the crucial moment Come here!"

"Alright, alright." Ning Hua was intimidated by her harsh tone and could only cautiously approach, nervously holding the strip of cloth without daring to glance at the shocking wound.

Finally, the bandage was done. After changing into clean clothes, Xiao Yuge still said thank you to Ninghua with a blank expression.

"Xiao Yu Ge, I'm a person who remembers favors and grievances. You saved my life today, and I will remember this kindness." Ning Hua thought for a long time, and after walking out of the room, she still opened her mouth to thank Xiao Yu Ge.

"Don't worry about it. I'm not a good person." Xiao Yuge said, and regardless of Ning Hua's reaction, she strode towards the Zichen Palace. She wasn't lying. Reborn, she had come back for revenge. Among those who hurt her in her past life was Ning Feng, so one day, Ning Hua would also hate her.

"You!" Ninghua didn't expect her to be even more stubborn than herself. At that moment, she stomped her feet and pouted, following behind: "What are you being so arrogant about!"

When Xiao Yu Ge and Ning Hua arrived at the Zichen Hall, everyone was already seated. After they bowed to the Empress Dowager in thanks, they were about to take their seats when suddenly, there was an announcement from outside:

"The King of Freedom is here!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, a man wearing a mask strode in!

King XiaoYao QianTingXuan is the youngest sibling of the current Emperor, only twenty-three years old. He usually wanders the world and rarely appears in the capital. Legend has it that he was once a dashing young man with countless lovers throughout the Jianghu. Due to an accident involving his face, he was disfigured. Therefore, even when he appears, he always wears a mask. Some speculate that his long singlehood is related to his disfigurement.

Xiao Yu Ge was quite curious. In her past life, she had never met the King of Freedom, and according to her memories from that life, he hadn't appeared at the Lotus Banquet today either. So how was it different in this life

Just as she was thinking, the man had arrived at her side. As someone within the palace, she was accustomed to being cautious and instinctively lowered her gaze, stepping aside. Oddly, she felt a sense of déjà vu.

"Your Majesty's younger brother greets his sister-in-law!"

"Fifteenth Brother, there's no need for formalities. The day I heard His Majesty say that Fifteenth Brother was coming to the Lotus Flower Banquet, this palace had someone specially prepare your favorite Lotus Drunkenness. Consort Xian has also prepared Rose Cakes especially for you. The banquet is about to begin, please take a seat." The Empress greeted Qian Tingxuan with a warm smile, not for anything else, but because Qian Tingxuan was the Emperor's most beloved brother.

"My humble brother offers his apologies to your Majesty, the esteemed Empress."

This sound

Xiao Yu Ge unconsciously followed the sound, her eyes widening in surprise. Wasn't this the man she had saved that night Although he was wearing a different mask this time, revealing the part below his nose, she recognized him instantly.

He is actually the Prince of Freedom, Qian Tingxuan! I thought I would never see him again in this life, but I didn't expect to meet him so soon. It's over, it's over, he must be here to kill her and silence her!

And at this moment, Qian Tingxuan also happened to look over at her. Their eyes met, and Xiao Yuge was so startled that she quickly lowered her head, secretly praying in her heart. She had been wearing a veil the night before, he definitely didn't recognize her, but she had clearly seen a strange look in his eyes just now. What was going on

She returned to her seat uneasily, subconsciously biting her fingers and daring not look in the direction of Qian Tingxuan. However, she always felt that there were eyes like knives watching her from there every now and then.

If it were just an ordinary person, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the man is Prince Xiaoyao, and he is the Emperor's most beloved brother, without a doubt. She doesn't even have the qualifications to stand up to him. It's over, it's over! Before she even started her revenge in this rebirth, is her life going to be ended

"Ge'er, what's wrong" Xiao Yufu beside her noticed something amiss and hurriedly asked in a soft voice.

"I'm fine..." Xiao Yuge hurriedly shook her head. She felt like there were eyes watching her from somewhere, making her feel uneasy.

"Still saying nothing's wrong, you bite your fingers whenever you get nervous, from childhood to adulthood." Xiao Yufu knew Xiao Yuge well. She thought she didn't like such big occasions, so she was a little nervous, and comforted her: "Ge'er, don't be nervous, the banquet will end soon. Come on, try this lotus drunk, it tastes good."

Xiao Yu Fu handed Xiao Yu Ge a small cup of wine from her own table as she spoke.

“Hmm.” Although Xiao Yuge’s heart was in turmoil, she remembered the lessons from her past life. So, she remained cautious. When she took the cup of wine, she realized something was amiss. She nonchalantly took a small sip and quickly swallowed the pills she had already prepared in her sleeve. After living through one lifetime, she naturally knew what would happen at this Lotus Flower Banquet.

At this moment, maidservants lined up to refill the cups of noble guests with tea. Everything appeared perfectly ordinary; everyone raised their cups in a toast and drank merrily, enjoying the convivial atmosphere.

Yet, a palace maid, while serving tea to the two sisters of the Xiao family, seemingly slipped her foot. As she did so, the teapot in her hand, filled with boiling water, flew out, splashing towards the sisters!

"Sister, be careful!"

With memories of her past life, Xiao Yuge naturally knew that this would happen. She now had martial arts skills and could completely avoid it, but doing so would expose her abilities. Therefore, she chose to use her own body to protect Xiao Yufu and planned to use her internal energy to withstand the thrown tea water.here! You dare speak to this palace like this This palace wants you to be slapped!" Shufei was furious and ordered someone to take action.“Stop!” Qian Si Chen rushed over, bowing to the Empress first...
