Chapter 45: Are You Injured?!

  The sky was already bright, and Xiao Qian walked along the long corridor leading to Madame's room, carrying breakfast in her hands.

  Arrived, put down breakfast, lightly knocked on the door: "Madam, breakfast is here." No one responded.

  "Madam, madam..." Xiaoxian seemed a bit flustered: "Xiaoxian has come in." She pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the person lying on the bed opening their sleepy eyes with a look of surprise at her, she finally let out a breath.

  "Xiao Qian, you're disturbing my good dream so early! Do you know I just dreamed of Osmanthus cake?" I said with some dissatisfaction.

  "Madam, if this is what you call early morning, I suppose you won't be having lunch until evening!" Little Qian approached to help me with my toilette.

  "Is it that exaggerated?" Three black lines slid down on my head: Too humiliating!

  Xiao Qian helped me up and I said, "I slept in a bad position last night, my legs feel a bit numb."

  "Be careful, madam." Xiao Qian stretched out her hand to help me up, but I felt a surge of soreness in my legs (was it because I flew too fast just now?) and suddenly fell downwards, instinctively grasping Xiao Qian's right shoulder.

  "Ah!" Just then, Xiaoxiang also cried out in pain, and the two of us fell down together.

  "Xiao Qian, what's wrong?" I forced down the sour pain and helped Xiao Qian up: "Are you hurt? Roll up your sleeves and let me take a look."

  "There's no lady, I'm fine." Xiao Qian looked a bit flustered: "I'll withdraw first."

  "Xiao Qian." I pulled her over: "Isn't this a case of drawing more attention by trying to cover it up? Hurry!"

  Xiao Qian had no choice but to roll up her sleeves. I saw a very deep scar on her right shoulder, but the wound was extremely fine, obviously inflicted by someone with superb swordsmanship.

  "What's going on? How did you get sword injuries?" I seemed to be unbelievable, the only possibility is that Xiaoxiang understands martial arts! Because this is a duel between masters, a duel between masters, just one move can make the opponent powerless, which means one sword determines the outcome.

  "Xiao Qian, you've hidden it too well! This wound must have been here for at least 7 or 8 days, and I didn't even notice!"

  "Madam, I'm sorry. It was Xiaoxian who deceived you. Xiaoxian was actually sent by Master Ying to spy on you. This wound was also inflicted by Master Ying! But Xiaoxian can guarantee that she has never done anything to harm Madam!" Xiaoxian explained, kneeling on the ground with tears already streaming from her eyes.

  I let out a sigh and helped Xiaoxian up from the ground, pulling down her sleeves. "Alright, I believe you. Let's just pretend I didn't see anything that happened today."

  "Thank you, madam!" Little Qian said with tears of gratitude.

  I didn't ask how she was stabbed by Mo Yu, but I think that's enough. She is willing to confess that it was Mo Yu who masterminded her from behind, which means my first plan has succeeded.

  ……

  The whole day, I was still joking with Xiaoxian as usual, but she seemed to be distracted, her eyes dodging and flashing, and she lost focus several times.

  "Xiao Qian, isn't Princess Jing coming tomorrow?" I asked, lying on the hammock in the garden.

  "Oh, ah? Uh, yeah, tomorrow then." Xiao Qian's thoughts drifted off into outer space again, but she quickly snapped back to reality and replied.

  "I wonder what Princess Unknown looks like, is she as pretty as me? Hehe." Someone said while touching their face lovingly.

  "Madam, spare me." Xia Qian had been feeling extremely depressed, but seeing the madam's playful expression finally couldn't help but speak up.

  "Wow! You're finally back to normal!" I gave Xiao Qian a big hug: "I thought I'd have to face a wooden person from now on, but fortunately, fortunately..."

  Xiao Qian didn't say a word and let me hold her tightly.

  "Hmm, Xiao Qian, why aren't you speaking again?" I asked after a while.

  "Madam... you're holding me too tightly... I can't breathe..."
