"Master Duan, be careful what you say!"

Dou Lianyi interrupted Duan Wujiu's words a little sullenly. She would not allow anyone to say bad things about Yuzhu in front of her.

Hearing this, Duan Wu Jiu smiled coldly and asked, "Am I wrong? If I don't have a brain, wouldn't I be a fool?"

"you!"

"Even if she knew that the Queen and Concubine Rong had always been at odds, so she ran to the Queen for help, but she didn't know how to think about it. Although the Queen is the master of the East Palace, Concubine Rong is deeply favored by the Emperor, how could she possibly Because you, a little county lady, are openly confronting Concubine Rong?"

Having said this, Duan Wu Jiu's face darkened, his eyes were like ice as he stared at Dou Lianyi who was still about to say something, and he warned word by word: "This palace is nothing like your pretending to be a prince's palace. If you make the wrong move, your head will be killed at any time. If you want to leave the palace with your maid, all beards and tails, I advise you to be careful in your words and deeds, and don't get into trouble casually."

"Is that what I want to cause trouble for? It's clearly Concubine Rong..."

Before Dou Lianyi could finish her words, Duan Wujiu narrowed his eyes slightly and stepped forward, grabbing her chin tightly and shutting her mouth with a powerful and compelling force.

"Miss Dou, please remember this. This is the harem, not your prince's palace. Don't think that you can be the master of the country in the prince's palace, but you can act so recklessly in this harem."

Unexpectedly, Dou Lianyi's eyes widened suddenly, with a pair of dark eyes like a frightened deer in the forest, and she looked at Duan Wu Jiu with some wetness.

This made Duan Wu Jiu feel soft. He let go of his hand and returned to his expressionless face. He lowered his eyes and said, "Miss Dou's maid is already waiting for you in the long alley. I will take you out right now."

At this time, Dou Lianyi could vaguely sense Duan Wujiu's kindness. She pursed her lips and responded in a low voice, a little embarrassed, "I just reacted too fiercely. Please don't take it to heart, Master Duan."

"I have so many trivial matters every day that I can't take them all into consideration. Miss Dou doesn't need to be so polite."

After saying that, Duan Wu Jiu turned around and walked forward.

The harem is a bit eerie on winter nights, there is always an indescribable chill that penetrates the body, and occasionally one or two jackdaws standing on the dead branches will make a strange cry, which makes people feel panicked.

Fortunately, the dark clouds that had been pressing down on the eaves of the palace had dispersed at some point, revealing a bright moon that had been rare for several days, so that the road under their feet was not too dark.

Dou Lianyi took a deep breath and subconsciously quickened her pace, following Duan Wujiu who was silent all the way, so as not to be left behind.

At the same time, Duan Wu Jiu also slowed down his pace and asked Dou Lianyi in a low voice: "Do your fingers still hurt?"

"what?"

This question came so suddenly that Dou Lianyi didn't react for a moment. When Duan Wujiu stopped and his eyes fell heavily on her hands hanging by her sides, she suddenly realized: "This is what Master Duan is talking about." Huh? It's okay now. It was just because I was burned suddenly that I lost my hand."

"If I hadn't appeared, you wouldn't have wanted these ten fingers now."

I don't know what he thought of, but Duan Wu Jiu's tone became a little irritated inexplicably.

Dou Lianyi mistakenly thought that she did not express her gratitude in time, so she quickly said: "I haven't thanked you enough, Mr. Duan, for your timely rescue at Zhongxiu Palace. I will find another day to come and say thank you."

Having said this, she subconsciously wanted to touch something more valuable on her body and hand it to Duan Wu Jiu, but she was embarrassed to find that there were only dozens of taels of silver left in her purse, which made her embarrassed to take it out.

"So Miss Dou, do you want to reward me?"

Duan Wu Jiu naturally saw Dou Lianyi's intention. He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled happily for the first time. "Um, I," Dou Lianyi paused, her face became even hotter as Duan Wujiu guessed her thoughts, and she could only explain sarcastically: "I didn't bring much money with me when I entered the palace today. Please forgive me, Mr. Duan."

"It doesn't matter. After all, using gold and silver as a reward is a bit tacky."

Duan Wujiu shrugged, skipped the topic, took out a small jade bottle from his arms, uncorked it, and said to Dou Lianyi.

"hand."

Dou Lianyi was stunned for a moment, and Yi Yan stretched out his hands.

As if he was pleased by Dou Lianyi's submissive behavior, a faint smile flashed across Duan Wu Jiu's eyes.

He lowered his eyebrows, his crow-feather-like eyelashes trembled slightly, and tilted the small jade bottle gently but seriously. A few drops of black liquid dripped out and fell on Dou Lianyi's spread fingers.

It was also the first time that Dou Lianyi saw Duan Wujiu looking so gentle. She was slightly stunned, and her face suddenly became hot for some unknown reason.

I don't know what kind of medicine those liquids are made of, but they smell faintly.

And it quickly blends into the skin without leaving any traces.

Even the throbbing feeling from time to time disappeared.

Dou Lianyi came back to her senses, blinked in surprise, and asked subconsciously: "What is this? It's so magical."

Duan Wu Jiu signaled Dou Lianyi to retract her hand, and after he put away the small jade bottle, he responded calmly: "It's just a medicine I used to heal my wounds. Miss Dou doesn't need to use it."

Hearing this, Dou Lianyi's heart skipped a beat, inexplicably thinking of the love affair she had with Duan Wu Jiu when he was seriously injured...

She was so startled by this sudden thought that she choked. After coughing a few times, she quickly waved her hands in embarrassment at Duan Wujiu's confused eyes.

"I'm fine!"

Duan Wu Jiu definitely didn't want to let people who knew his secret live. Now he was willing to let his life go and help him. She only thought of that if she didn't want her life!

Seeing this, Duan Wu Jiu didn't ask any more questions. He just waited patiently until Dou Lianyi stopped coughing, and then he didn't forget to give another warning: "After you leave this long alley, don't stay in the palace anymore."

Dou Lianyi nodded. Looking from a distance, he could already see Yuzhu anxiously waiting for him at the entrance of the long alley.

When she just took a step away from Duan Wu Jiu, her thoughts changed and she asked casually: "Master Duan, I want to ask you about something."

"What thing?"

"It's just a ring. It has the texture of jade, but it feels a little harder than jade. I don't know if Mr. Duan has seen this ring on anyone."

In fact, Dou Lianyi just wanted to try her luck, and she didn't really expect Duan Wujiu to notice whether others were wearing such things.
