After sending Yu Xiaochen out the door.

Xiao Qiran's fingertip stayed on the back of Gu Mingyan's neck as he gently caressed it. He circulated his internal energy to stand up, then carried her into the secret room behind the study, and disappeared without a trace.

Two guards had fallen outside the door, trapping Yu Xiaochen in the center on both sides.

The little girl was at a loss as she twisted her big cape, waiting for her brother, whose face was swollen, to be brought back by the beautiful big sister. After saying a few words to the guard, she raised her big smile and threw a stone the size of a copper coin to Yu Xiaofeng: "If you want to enter Your Highness's subordinate, take the stone and go to the Seventh Prince Mansion tomorrow, someone will welcome you."

With that, Shuang Hua instructed all the people outside to not disturb him as he stepped into the house and closed the door.

The brother and sister outside the door were extremely noisy, yet Shuang Hua only frowned at the empty wheelchair, and also opened the secret door and walked in.

Behind the secret door, there was a long downward slope, it wandered around in the complicated road, in the end, he pushed open the stone door and walked up the stairs, Shuang Hua pressed the trigger, and the wall in front of him cracked open.

This place was a secret residence beside Xu Chang's house, and was written in the name of the woman who bought the tea flowers.

Back then when he bought the beauty's name, it was to make a path for his master, but in reality it was the path Xiao Qiran had skipped school on. Xu Chang was not a stubborn person, so he simply told her about the secret path under the study.

He had thought that his highness had brought the eldest young mistress here.

However, he saw the Prince sitting quietly by the bedside while the Eldest Miss laid on the bed with her brows tightly knitted. Half of her face was buried under the quilt, as if she was feeling some pain.

"Your Highness, Eldest Miss …"

She had only left for a short period of time, how did she become like this?!

"I made it."

Xiao Qiran waved his hand towards her, signalling her to come over and examine her body.

Different from the doctors, the martial artist's method of detection was a light strand of inner force. When Shuang Hua bent over the bed and sensed the inner force that was scurrying around, he anxiously said: "Young miss has never trained in martial arts, and doesn't even know how to regulate one's breathing, I'm afraid that she will need more if the inner force is scattered …"

"Your inner force is cold. You can try."

Xiao Qiran passed Gu Mingyan's wrist over.

Shuang Hua was angry and angry, but since Xiao Qiran was his own highness, he could only endure it and help her think of a way to expel the inner force, in exchange for a few grunts.

Under the rain of perspiration, Gu Mingyan only felt that his entire body was sore, the sweat all over his body was sticky and unhappy.

Slowly opening his eyes, he saw the main culprit sitting calmly by his bedside. Just as he was about to get up, he was pushed down by Xiao Qiran with a raise of his hand. Shuang Hua had originally wanted to ask gently, but he saw that Xiao Qiran had already coldly swept his gaze over.

Shuang Hua understood and silently left.

Even Gu Mingyan, who had awoken from his daze, did not realize that there was another person under the bed.

"I just said you …"

Gu Mingyan was extremely wronged, from start to finish, she did not have any thoughts of harming him.

However, at this moment, his body felt like it had been run over by a horse carriage. Even when he raised his arm, there was a wave of numbness.

Seeing her aggrieved expression, Xiao Qiran couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. He then placed his hand on her face and said softly, "It's my fault."

"It still hurts."

Gu Mingyan leaned heavily on his warm palm.

"Where?" Xiao Qiran unconsciously softened her voice.

Gu Mingyan, on the other hand, did not say a word, and only withdrew himself into the blanket dejectedly, avoiding Xiao Qiran's hand.

Xiao Qiran's face darkened, his hand also moved downwards, pulling on the blanket a little.

"Hide what?"

"I'm afraid that you might be displeased and take revenge on me." Gu Mingyan puffed his cheeks as he pulled at the blanket with both hands. His eyes were completely red.

She was actually very afraid of pain.

"I won't." Xiao Qiran was amused by her, and lightly patted her forehead: "Where's the pain?"

Gu Mingyan looked at Xiao Qiran with a strange gaze.

I keep having the feeling that there's something different about His Highness?

"I have a headache, but I'm more curious as to how did you hurt me earlier, Your Highness?" And I'm not injured, I'm not poisoned. " Gu Mingyan turned his head, his eyes becoming brighter: "Is this related to inner force?"

"Just now, it was just to see if you have practiced martial arts."

"Then why is it so painful?" The corner of Gu Mingyan's mouth twitched, she didn't even know how she woke up.

"Because your meridians have yet to open and you do not know how to adjust your breathing, even a little bit of inner force can make you feel unbearable pain." At this moment, Xiao Qiran pulled her right hand out of the bedding, and placed his fingertip against the blue phoenix feather.

Gu Mingyan subconsciously pulled back his hand, but instead, it was held even tighter by Xiao Qiran, and only said: "When the inner force enters your hand, the phoenix feather will turn slightly gold, are you really not a demoness from the mountain?"

Could it be!?

Gu Mingyan was astonished. He had thought of many excuses, but he could not deceive Xiao Qiran.

Just as he was in a slight daze, his fingertip was touched by a layer of warmth. Before he even had the time to pull his hand away, he could only watch helplessly as a layer of light gold emerged from the phoenix feathers on his wrist.

Gu Mingyan's pupils slightly contracted as he struggled.

Xiao Qiran slowly retracted that bit of internal energy as he watched the phoenix feathers return to water blue.

Gu Mingyan self-destructed and laid back down, then looked at Xiao Qiran: "Swear, protect me from now on."

"Alright." Xiao Qiran faintly felt that this matter was not that simple.

Gu Mingyan raised her hand and held his hand, her phoenix feathers slowly suffused a golden light.

Xiao Qiran was also slightly stunned, and felt that cold feeling gradually became harder, until it finally became a small copper plate, and his two hands once again stuck together.

It was just that there was an additional small copper coin.

Xiao Qiran used some strength in his palm and confirmed that the copper coin was indeed there, and not some other tricks.

Their four eyes met, and Gu Mingyan's eyes carried a little caution, as though he was a little apprehensive.

"All you need to do is use it. When you use it now, the color will change, and after a while, it will turn completely golden."

After he finished speaking, Xiao Qiran felt the iciness come from the center of his hands.

The copper coin instantly disappeared without a trace, and only the phoenix feather returned to its calm state.

Normally, even Xiao Qiran would suspect that she was actually a demon. However, after knowing about the existence of this thing, the reason why those people before her were unable to get close to her, all of them understood.

"Never." Xiao Qiran pulled her closer to him and lowered his head to look at her. "If others know about this …"

"So you have to protect me. I don't want anyone else to know."

Gu Mingyan hurriedly propped herself up with half a hand and looked flustered: "The only ones I can believe in here are you and Big Sister Shuang Hua."

Maybe it was different from the beginning.

Xiao Qiran nodded and agreed: "However, we are still unable to completely rescind our engagement. After the winter feast, I'm afraid you will have to come over at all times to act. And don't let anyone else know of your ability in the future, neither can Shuang Hua. "

Gu Mingyan nodded obediently before lying back on the bed. Seeing Xiao Qiran's gentle expression, he mustered his courage and spoke out.

"It still hurts a lot this time, but next time I won't say that His Highness is cute anymore."

"Shut up."

It was clearly a strict tone, but Gu Mingyan saw a trace of gentleness on his face.

I can't remember what happened with Yu Xiaochen and her sister!
