Seeing this, Leng Yixuan felt a pang in his nose, and tears streamed down his face.
However, at that moment, the heavy rain had already washed away the tears on his face, blending them with the downpour.
Beside him, Prince Rui and Consort Rui were overjoyed to see Xin'er wake up.
Finally, they turned to Leng Yixuan and said, “Xuan, come on, don’t squat here. Let’s go back and see the Imperial Physician.”
“Yes, yes, yes! Xin'er, let’s go back!”
Hearing his mother’s words, Leng Yixuan came to his senses. He gently lifted Xin'er’s petite body from the ground and began walking towards his palace.
…
Meanwhile, in a magnificent palace within the imperial palace—
It was nighttime, with lanterns just lit outside as thunder roared and rain poured heavily.
Inside Spirit Heart Palace—
The beaded curtains swayed gently, and bright yellow palace lanterns illuminated the entire palace.
In Spirit Heart Palace, a large bathtub filled with fragrant flowers and light smoke was the scene of an enchanting sight. An enchantress sat leisurely in the bathtub, thoroughly enjoying herself. Beside her was a young palace maid giving her a shoulder massage while another maid was grooming her hair.
The maids took great care in styling her hair.
The fragrant Rose Water drenched the woman's long hair, its floral scent lingering in the air.
The Bathtub was filled with freshly picked rose petals, their vibrant colors enhancing the woman's skin, which appeared as smooth and flawless as jade.
This woman was none other than Aotian Xue.
At this moment, Aotian Xue wore a smile at the corners of her lips, her brows reflecting a sense of pride, indicating that she was in a good mood.
After finishing her bath, Aotian Xue stepped out of the Bathtub.
Two palace maids immediately rushed forward, wrapping her in a towel. Once they dried her off, they dressed her in a thin, rose-red Veil gown.
The gown was as delicate as a butterfly's wing, perfectly showcasing her tall and graceful figure.
Seated at the Dressing Table, she combed her long hair, admiring herself in the mirror with a sense of self-adoration. After a while, she turned to the two palace maids behind her and asked without looking back,
"Am I beautiful?"
Upon hearing Aotian Xue's question, the two maids immediately responded without hesitation,
"Princess, you are undoubtedly beautiful!"
"Yes, your beauty captivates not only men but even us maidens can't help but be enchanted."
"Indeed, indeed! The princess is so beautiful, the most stunning woman I have ever seen!"
The two palace maids continuously flattered the horse.
Clearly, Aotian Xue was enjoying it immensely.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a proud smile. Her brows were filled with an air of talent and grace.
Then, her enchanting eyes lightly swept over the jewelry box in front of her. With a delicate flick of her slender fingers, she picked up two pairs of exquisite earrings and graciously handed them to the two palace maids beside her.
"Well said! These two pairs of earrings are for you!"
"Thank you, Princess."
"Thank you, Princess."
As they received the earrings from Aotian Xue, the two maids were overjoyed and overwhelmed with gratitude.
After all, these earrings were not only finely crafted but also quite valuable.
Each pair was worth more than their combined monthly salaries in the palace throughout their lives.
How could they not be happy!?
At that moment, seeing the two maids joyfully accepting the earrings from her hands, Aotian Xue's greedy expression was completely revealed.
Seeing this, Aotian Xue curled the corner of her mouth, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes.
Then, her gaze slightly narrowed as she began to pick at her nails, speaking calmly.
"Alright, since you have taken my things, now help me with a task!"
"I wonder what the princess commands. As long as it is within our ability, we will certainly comply!"
Upon hearing Aotian Xue's words, the two palace maids immediately responded without hesitation.
Aotian Xue nodded in satisfaction at their reply, and then her enchanting gaze fell upon the bronze mirror.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman in the mirror, she gently spoke, enunciating each word clearly.
"Now, prepare me a good package of spring medicine, and then..."
...
"Imperial Physician, is Xin'er alright!?"
Inside the room, Leng Yixuan asked immediately after the Imperial Physician finished checking Xin'er's pulse.
The concern and anxiety on his handsome face were unmistakable.
Seeing Leng Yixuan's worried expression, the Imperial Physician spoke up.
"Oh, in response to Young Master, this young lady is just a bit weak and has caught a slight cold. However, as long as she takes her medicine for a couple of days and gets some good rest, she will be fine."
"Oh, then please have the Imperial Physician prescribe her the best medicine. If there is none available in the palace, just let me know, and I will send someone to fetch it."
"Yes."
Hearing Leng Yixuan's words, the Imperial Physician nodded in agreement.
After sending off the Imperial Physician, Leng Yixuan returned to his room. At that moment, Xin'er was lying on the bed resting.
On the bed lay an exquisite young girl, her long black hair cascading down her back and shoulders, accentuating her delicate little face even more.
However, her complexion was still pale, which added an air of unspoken vulnerability to her appearance.
Looking at the sleeping girl, Leng Yixuan slowly sat by the bedside. He reached out with his long hand to gently hold Xin'er's soft hand, lightly rubbing it against his cheek.
"Xin'er, thankfully you are alright..."
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to live either...
In contrast to the tender-hearted man inside the room, outside in the shadows stood a lanky figure. Like a specter, he had quietly arrived without anyone noticing.
He simply stood silently in the corner, peering through the intricately carved window at the scene unfolding inside the room.
Watching the girl still lost in slumber, he couldn't help but wish that the person by her side was him...
Unfortunately...
The one she needed was not him...
With this thought, the man let out a quiet sigh as he lingered in the corner, until after a long while, he finally pointed his toes and leaped away silently, just as he had come.

"What is happening over at Morning Glow Palace!?"
The night was deep, and the heavy rain had finally ceased.
Although the sky remained overcast, the summer night, which had been stifling, felt much cooler after the downpour.
At this moment, inside Spirit Heart Palace, a stunningly beautiful young woman sat leisurely on the Rosewood Consort Chair. Her delicate jade-like hand gently lifted a cup of fragrant tea offered by a palace maid. As she enjoyed having her legs massaged by another maid, she softly inquired.
Upon hearing her words, one of the maids spoke up.
"I just went to inquire at Morning Glow Palace. It seems that the Eldest Prince's fiancée fell into the water but was rescued in time. She only suffered from a chill and will fully recover with proper care."
"What!? That shameless woman is still alive!?"
Upon hearing the maid's words, Aotian Xue, who had been relaxed moments before, suddenly shot up from the Palace Couch.
The face of the Seductress was filled with shock, deep resentment, and unwillingness after hearing the maid's words.
With a swift motion, she flung the fragrant tea in her hand away.
The sound of shattering glass echoed sharply in the stillness of the night.
Seeing the woman so furious and agitated, the two maids trembled in fear and immediately knelt on the ground.
"Please calm down, Your Highness! Please calm down!"
Though they spoke in unison, it did little to quell Aotian Xue's anger.
This was to be expected. After all, she had thought that with just one push by the lake today, that You Shameless Woman would meet her end.
Once she was gone, with her charm, Leng Yixuan would eventually bow down at her feet.
Such an outstanding man deserved to stand beside only her.
What right did that You Shameless Woman have!?
Wasn’t it just relying on her pitiful appearance to seduce those men!?
Aside from that, what did she have that could compare to Aotian Xue's identity and power!?
The more she thought about it, the angrier Aotian Xue became.
The once enchanting face, now twisted by anger and malice, bore an unrecognizable ferocity, resembling something that had emerged from the depths of hell, like Mother Yasha, sending chills down one's spine.
Seeing this, the two palace maids grew even more flustered.
After all, this princess, who usually appeared somewhat seductive and proud, had never looked as terrifying as she did now.
The fear of the two maids did not faze Aotian Xue in the slightest.
At this moment, she was on the brink of madness.
She had thought that woman was destined to die, and then she would employ some schemes to ensure that Leng Yixuan would surely fall in love with her. However...
"Hmph!"
At this thought, Red Lips pressed her lips into a straight line.
Then, as if struck by a sudden realization, a fleeting glint of cold malice flashed in her alluring eyes.
Red Lips spoke up with a cold snort.
"Hmph, if you survive this time, consider it your good fortune. But..."
Hmph!
Was it really that difficult to ensure one person's demise?
"Xin'er, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's your fault for being of low status and daring to compete with me for a man.
So, you must die!
...
'Achoo!' Xin'er sneezed violently, and immediately woke up.
Looking around, everything felt so familiar; it was the Morning Glow Palace.
At this sight, Xin'er was momentarily stunned, her beautiful eyes blank as her mind went momentarily blank, struggling to comprehend.
Perhaps it was the lingering fear from narrowly escaping death that left her in disbelief.
She was actually still alive, alive...
Just as Xin'er was lost in thought, the man who had been sitting by the bed, resting with one hand propping his chin and his eyes closed in feigned slumber, suddenly opened his slightly drowsy deep black eyes.
