The expression on his face became complicated for a moment, but it quickly returned to normal.

Su Nuo blushed. "Elder sister, I really fell asleep last night."

"That's right, he's sleeping soundly. No matter how hard I wake him up, he won't wake me up." Xiao Bai smiled faintly.

Bei Chen Han just stood there, his expression wasn't good, but he didn't say anything.

Lord Beichen joked beside Su Nuo's ear, "Little Nuo, do you want to stay in my arms forever?" Only then did Su Nuo realize that she had been in the arms of the Duke of Bei Chen. She hurriedly left with a red face, and the Duke of Bei Chen said to Bai Qian, "Royal sister-in-law, my little Xiao Nuo has just woken up and is still in a daze. Who knows, she might get lost. Please take care of her for me."

Bai Qian paused for a moment before smiling, "Xiao'er is my younger sister. Of course, I will take good care of her."

Su Nuo was baffled. "Jue, where are you going?"

Lord Beichen said, "I will go and find something for Little Nuo to eat. After we finish eating, we will go back."

The Duke of Beichen left the room and went straight to the three corpses that he had killed yesterday. He grabbed two of them and threw them into the well without even looking at them. Bei Chen Han watched from behind as he cleaned up the body and blood, his black eyes flashed with a light as he asked, "What happened to Nuo?"

Bei Chen Han remembered that the first time he saw Su Nuo, he just happened to see Su Nuo being almost humiliated by the guards. Other than that, Su Nuo did not seem to have encountered this kind of thing, but he had a faint feeling that Su Nuo's appearance last night was definitely not because of that time, there was something he did not know about.

His face was half hidden in the shadows, and one couldn't see his expression clearly. However, his voice that always carried a smile was incomparably clear and cold, "So, what has happened? You are so high and mighty, only knowing how to wholeheartedly focus on the white prince and think of your pet, what a rare sight."

"Speak." Beichen's expression did not change.

One word at a time, he said clearly, "My dear second brother, don't you think it's too late to ask? When you were so full of Bai Qian abandoning Xiao Nuo, you thought that Xiao Nuo would starve for four whole days and then faint on the road. When you couldn't wait to push her away, did you ever think that Xiao Nuo would be sold to a brothel and would have to accept the humiliation of a man? Did you think that, my beloved second brother never thought it would hurt so much, how could he have the time to do that?" His voice turned sharp instantly, "As long as it's something little Nuo wants, I will give it to you no matter what it is." Saying that, the Duke of Bei Chen brushed past his shoulder.

Bei Chen Han stood there, and the words of the Duke of Bei Chen were repeated in his mind. Zhou Fu Hai had once told him in his ear that something had happened to Su Nuo before she came back, but he didn't take it to heart. He just wanted to teach her a lesson, but why did so many things happen in a place he couldn't see?

Beichen felt a huge rock pressing against his heart, causing him to be unable to breathe.

Last night, Su Nuo still had that heart-wrenching look of fear in front of her. That look, how deep of a wound did one need to be to be so scared, and how she automatically forgot it the next morning.

A fist ruthlessly struck the stone wall, and the stone wall collapsed with a loud bang.

When Bai Qian saw Su Nuo's expression, he couldn't help but be lost in thought. Su Nuo waved her hand in front of Bai Qian, "Big sister, what's wrong?"

Bai Qian came back to her senses and smiled. "It's nothing."

Su Nuo looked outside, "Why aren't you back yet?" As soon as he said that, the Duke of Northern Chen came in with some food, "Little Nuo, are you thinking of me so soon? I miss you too." As he spoke, he moved forward to kiss Su Nuo.

Su Nuo dodged and glared at him. Duke Bei Chen placed the food on the table, "Alright, hurry and eat. We'll head back after you finish eating."

When Bei Chen Han came in, they had already finished eating. Bai Qian looked at the steamed buns and asked, "Are you going to eat?"

Bei Chenghan smiled at Bai Qian and said, "I'm not eating anymore." Then, his gaze fell upon Su Nuo's face. The depths of her eyes were very complicated, but she did not stay there for too long.

Su Nuo felt that it was a bit strange, but she couldn't tell where it was. Bai Qian stood up and walked over. "Let's go back."

Su Nuo stood up as well and staggered. Luckily, Bai Qian supported her, "Nuo'er, what's wrong with you?"

Only now did Su Nuo realize that the dizziness he had felt after waking up had not disappeared, and his body was extremely heavy. Su Nuo frowned. "It's alright, I might be feeling a little cold." As he spoke, he started to walk away, but a faint shadow appeared before his eyes. With a slight movement, he became even more powerful.

The Duke of Beichen stepped forward and wrapped the cloak around Su Nuo, "Be good little Nuo, I will carry you down. After you go back to the doctor, you will have a good night's sleep." As he spoke, he picked up Su Nuo.

However, no one saw Bei Chen Han walk forward. Just as he was about to hug Su Nuo, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Hearing Duke Bei Chen's words, Su Nuo did not struggle at all, and obediently stayed in her embrace.

The four of them followed the path that led in, passing by the place where the dead body was. Bai Qian looked at the clean ground and then raised his head to look at the Duke of Northern Chen. The Duke of Northern Chen did not say anything.

The way down the mountain was a bit steep, but Duke Bei Chen carried Su Nuo without a care. Bei Chen Han was watching from behind, but no matter what, especially after hearing Duke Bei Chen's words, he could not bear to have his pet being protected in the arms of another man.

"Let me carry him. You've been carrying him for so long, so it's better for you to take a rest." Although Bei Chen Han said that, his hands were already holding onto Su Nuo.

The Duke of Beichen locked eyes with him, and he exerted his strength, "There's no need for second brother to worry, second brother should take good care of the imperial concubine." Hearing the royal concubine, Beichen's hands lost their strength, and he continued to walk forward with Su Nuo in his arms.

Su Nuo felt dizzy and confused, completely unresponsive to their conversation.

"Han, let the Third Marquis carry her. I can see that the Third Marquis really loves Na'er, so it's hard to avoid her not wanting to get involved." Pausing, he continued, "Han, I shouldn't have gotten so angry last night. You aren't angry with me, are you?"

Bei Chen Han looked at the Duke of Bei Chen hugging Su Nuo as they walked further and further away. He smiled at Bai Qian and said, "How could that be? It is normal for Qian'Er to care about my sister. I should not have clashed with the Duke of Bei Chen at that time."

Bai Qian looked at Beichen, wanting to say something, but in the end, no words came out. Beichen also did not notice.

Descending the mountain and leaving the east side of the city, the Duke of Beichen turned to look at Whitesnow, "I'll take little Nuo and leave first."

"Third Marquis." Bai Qian shouted to stop him.

Duke Bei Chen pretended that he did not hear him, but the sober Su Nuo looked at him with her eyes wide open. Duke Bei Chen gave Su Nuo a wronged look and asked, "Is there anything you need?"

Bai Qian stepped forward. "I'm worried about my son's health right now. Third Marquis, where do you want to go? I'll go with you."

Bei Chen Han also walked over, not looking at Duke Bei Chen, and looked at Su Nuo: "Indeed, Na'er's health isn't good, and she has many people to take care of. This way, Qian'Er doesn't have to worry."

Su Nuo's throat was in pain, and he pulled at Beichen's sleeve, and Beichen could only agree.

The Duke of Beichen did not go anywhere else, only to the large courtyard. When he looked at this place, his gaze was ice-cold. His memories of this place were a mess, but they were filled with enmity.

The moment he entered the room, Duke Bei Chen wrapped Su Nuo up like a thick and solid dumpling with one blanket after another. It was hilarious. Even Su Nuo felt depressed when she saw this. She looked at the Duke of Northern Chen, "Viscount."

The Duke of Beichen turned his head innocently, "Little Nuo, what's wrong?" Then, Su Nuo couldn't say anything. She could only give him a glance and say that she was fine.

Bai shuang brought in the medicine, and Bei Chenghan followed behind him. Bai shuang tested the temperature and said, "Xiao'er took the medicine."

He hadn't received such good treatment when he was with his master all these years. Even when he was sick, he still drank the medicine, although there were a few times, as long as there was medicine to drink, it was basically his master who fed it, so he didn't care whether the medicine was bitter or not.

But now that his state of mind was in equilibrium, that sort of instinctive resistance appeared.

Ye Zichen looked at Bai Qian pitifully, "Elder sister, I don't need to drink any medicine. I'm really fine." As he said this, he wanted to show her health, but just as he extended his hand, he began to cough. Su Nuo did not say anything and could only look at the bowl of medicine in grief.

A hint of surprise flashed across Beichen's eyes. His pet had been raised for so many years, but he had never behaved like this towards him. Furthermore, he had no idea that his pet would have such a side to it.

There was an itch in his heart, but it was not real. He wanted to see it clearly, but only anger remained.

His pet treated Duke Bei Chen like this, and Qian'Er like this. The only thing that was different was that it didn't treat him like this, didn't even look at him or talk to him, let alone act like a spoiled child.

The feeling in his heart became even more distinct, but he could only suppress it like this.

Duke Bei Chen walked in front of Su Nuo and said, "Little Nuo, I think of a good way. You can drink this medicine and it won't be hard on you."

Su Nuo's eyes lit up. "What method?"

Duke Bei Chen smiled craftily, and leaned even closer to Su Nuo: "That's me feeding little Nuo." Su Nuo was baffled. "Feed it with your mouth."

Bang! Su Nuo's face turned completely red. Even Bai Qian, who was at the side, felt a little unnatural. Wasn't this kind of naked intimacy a bit too straightforward?

Bei Chenghan clenched his fist and said without any fluctuations in his voice, "Just a little sugar will do."
