Bei Chen Han placed Su Nuo on the bed and took the blood-soaked gauze off her body. He used the medicine to apply it on the wound again, and just as he was about to apply the medicine, Su Nuo unwittingly muttered, "Third Marquis, Third Marquis."

At that moment, Bei Chen Han's actions froze, his face turning black: "Su Nuo, what did you just say?"

Su Nuo's face was covered in cold sweat as if she was in pain or discomfort. Her face was as pale as a leaf and she was on the verge of falling from the treetops. "Third Marquis, Third Marquis."

Pa, the bottle in Beichen's hand was immediately crushed by him. His eyes were filled with a black coldness, and he grabbed onto Su Nuo with one hand, "Su Nuo, how dare you, you're still thinking about that damned Duke of Beichen."

Su Nuo was like a lifeless doll, allowing Bei Chen Han to live in his hands. As long as he wanted to, and with a little force, Su Nuo would die in his hands like a butterfly.

Bei Chen Han's hands tightened, his face was full of anger, like an angry beast, but he had nowhere to vent it on. He threw Su Nuo onto the bed, his body colliding with the bed, and with a loud thud, he left.

The wound on his shoulder was still bleeding. It flowed down his body onto the bed, dyeing the blanket red. However, Su Nuo was like a dead person. She did not sense anything and just let the blood flow.

Beichen Han was clad in a long black robe, in this dense black night he looked like an emissary from hell, and it was hard to tell him apart.

Beichen's face was full of anger. He fiercely punched the big tree in the yard, and with a loud bang, the big tree fell straight onto the ground.

"Su Nuo, you are my pet. I will never give you to that damned Northern Duke. Absolutely not." Every single word was filled with viciousness. If these words were a sharp blade, then Duke Bei Chen would have already been pierced to death by Wanren.

Steward Zhou heard such a loud sound and walked out curiously. When he saw Bei Chen Han, he immediately regretted his decision in his heart. Just as he was about to slip away or go forward, Bei Chen Han already saw him and ordered coldly: "Go get the chain and lock Su Nuo in his room." Then he stared into Housekeeper Zhou's eyes and said word by word: "I don't want her to go anywhere, do you hear me?"

Housekeeper Zhou was so scared that his legs went soft. He kneeled down on the ground and tremblingly replied: "Y-yes."

"Hurry up and go." Beichen shouted.

When Housekeeper Zhou heard this, he forgot that his legs were so scared that he couldn't even stand up. He could only scramble to get away.

In the palace, no one dared to breathe as they were afraid that the emperor would accidentally chop off their heads.

Within the hall.

The Duke was lying on the bed, with bandaged wounds all over his body. His face was deathly pale, as if he was suffering some extreme pain, but no matter what, he didn't seem to wake up.

A woman sat on the bed. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, but the tears were still falling, and she couldn't seem to stop them.

Bei Zhen Yan stood at the side with a serious face, not saying a word.

When Su Nuo woke up, she seemed to have no strength left in her. When she turned around, her eyes were red as blood. After a long while, she finally understood that it was her blood.

The memories in his mind were a little messy, as though they were random images that were slowly being pieced back together.

She remembered that the man was going to die and she was going to see him, but when she got to the gate Master came back and Master seemed to call her name and then she was unconscious.

Finally, Su Nuo's mind cleared up. She didn't have time to care why she was in the room or why the original gauze was taken away. She just wanted to see what that person was doing now.

She remembered that the woman had told her that the Third Marquis wouldn't be able to hold on for more than one night. Thinking of this, Su Nuo felt that the whole world was filled with choices. She had no other thoughts, she just couldn't let that person die just like that, ever since she was young, even though that person was the Third Marquis, she still had feelings for him, and had always treated him as her own little brother.

Su Nuo quickly got off the bed and dragged her wound along with it. The vicious wound had already healed by itself, but it wasn't any medicine that could stop the bleeding. With just a slight movement, blood was about to flow out.

However, Su Nuo no longer cared and directly went to open the door, but the door did not budge no matter how much she tried.

Su Nuo didn't know what was wrong, so she could only pull harder, but it was still useless.

A servant girl who was passing by heard the sound of the door opening and said mockingly, "Su Nuo, you don't need to pull anymore. The prince has ordered for you to be locked inside and you are not allowed to take even half a step outside." He then laughed mockingly, "I really don't know why you go through so many troubles every day. If you're not whipped by the prince, you're locked in the house." As he spoke, he left.

Su Nuo suddenly stopped moving. It was her master who had locked her up. That's right, other than her master, who else would do this? But why did her master lock her up?

Su Nuo sat down on the ground helplessly, her face growing paler and paler. However, her master couldn't keep her locked up any longer! She had to go see that person, see how he was doing, she had to see him!

Her hands tightly gripped the door as tears rolled down her face. She wanted to know how she was going to get out, and how she was going to get out. She was going to see that person!

In the west wing.

Xue Rou looked in the direction that Bei Chen Han had disappeared in. Suddenly, he revealed an extremely charming smile, walked towards the cabinet and opened it. He took out an exquisite bottle, then took out a set of clothes and sprinkled some white powder on it. Immediately, a strange fragrance wafted out.

Xue Rou immediately stopped and did not continue smoking. She found a cloth and wrapped it around her before bringing it back to the main chamber.

In the distance, Xue Rou saw that there were guards guarding the other side of the room. However, they were not at the entrance, so they were still some distance away. Xue Rou looked around and made sure that none of the guards had seen her. Then, she turned around and walked to the back of the room.

There was a dead end at the back of the house, but there was no road beyond the wall, so there was no one guarding it. Xue Rou simply swept the room, and when she saw the window, she smiled. Then, she stepped forward and slightly opened the window, and looked in, and very quickly, she saw Su Nuo sitting on the ground.

Su Nuo instinctively raised her head but didn't see anyone. She thought she was hallucinating and was about to lower her head when Xue Rou called out again, "Big sister, I'm here, I'm here."

This time, Su Nuo saw a shadow on the window. It was as if he had floated in the ocean for too long, suddenly seeing hope, he said to Xue Rou who was outside the window: "Xue Rou, help me out, let me out, let me out okay?".

Xue Rou smiled slightly and said: "Big sister, don't be anxious. I'm here to help you out, but, big sister, don't you dare say it's my help. Your highness will beat Xue Rou to death if he finds out."

Su Nuo quickly shook her head. "I definitely won't say a single word."

Xue Rou seemed to have let out a breath of relief as she stuffed the bag in her hand into the window. "Big sister, you should first change into the maid's clothes, then jump out of this window."

Su Nuo nodded her head vigorously. She took the clothes and quickly put them on, not even caring about the fragrance.

"Elder sister, come out." Xue Rou said.

Su Nuo quickly found a chair and stood up, then jumped down from the window, completely avoiding Xue Rou's support. However, she still heavily fell to the ground, causing Su Nuo's face to turn pale from the pain, but Su Nuo still took advantage of Xue Rou to stand up.

Xue Rou's face was far away from Su Nuo. She said to Su Nuo: "Sister, wait for my son and I to go out. We have to be careful since the two of us are too big of a target."

Su Nuo just kept nodding her head. Now she treated Xue Rou as her savior.

Also, elder sister, after you leave this place, don't take the road, and just go to the back gate. That place is close to here, and the doors are always used by the servants, so normally no one will be leaving. Elder sister only has to walk with her head lowered, and no one will suspect anything.

This time, Su Nuo seemed to find something strange and looked at Xue Rou.

Xue Rou paused for a moment, but quickly replied, "The Third Marquis has been in the palace ever since he was heavily injured. I heard from the palace that the Third Marquis' life is at stake." Suddenly, Xue Rou held Su Nuo's hand and said, "Sister, I'm helping you because I feel that the Third Marquis is really good to me. Although I don't know what's going on between the Third Marquis and I, if I were sister, I would definitely go and see the Third Marquis."

When Su Nuo heard these words, not only did she understand, she was also very grateful. "Xue Rou, thank you."

Xue Rou smiled and shook her head. "Then, big sister, I must go first." Then, he had just taken a step forward when he turned around and said to Su Nuo, "Elder sister, you have to hurry. You have to see the Third Marquis within two hours." He paused for a moment, and then seemed to add, "This way, I won't be discovered by the prince."

Su Nuo nodded.

Then, Xue Rou left. When Xue Rou left, Su Nuo looked at the surrounding guards as if she didn't notice. Then, she lowered her head and walked forward.

This was the first time Su Nuo did such a thing. If it weren't for the fact that her mind was preoccupied with the Duke of Bei Chen, she might have been too nervous to walk.

According to Xue Rou's instructions, Su Nuo walked forward without a hitch. She rode on the carriage without anyone stopping her until she left the manor.

As she spoke to herself, she said: "Su Nuo, tell me, you have been infected by the incense and after an hour the effects of the incense began to take effect. I wonder if you will turn into a whore. Suddenly, his eyes became sharp, "Su Nuo, I said I want you to die a horrible death. I will make you die a horrible death. How can a lowly slave like you get so much attention from the Prince? Why? I definitely won't let you succeed. I definitely won't!"
