Fengyue shut up and concentrated on treating Nan Xi's wounds.

When the medicine powder came into contact with the wound, Nan Xi was in great pain, but she held back and did not scream.

It wasn't until Fengyue arranged the bloody gauze and took it out of the room that Nan Xi showed a hint of pain.

"Whatever you do, just say it when it hurts. No one will laugh at you."

Xia Houqi looked at Nan Xi angrily and said.

Nan Xi curled her lips, "This is not a question of whether to laugh or not. I have never had the habit of showing my weak side in front of outsiders."

"Is this king an outsider?"

Nan Xi raised her head, glanced at him, and then said calmly:
"I'm not referring to you."

Xia Hou abandoned Ran, so he was talking about Fengyue.

"Feng Yue is the person next to me. She is one of my own. There is no need to hold back in front of her."

"She is yours, not my own."

He didn't want to argue with Nan Xi about who Fengyue belonged to, so he only looked at the gauze wrapped around her waist.

"What happened today? Tell me about it."

"I left the Ministry of Household Affairs and got on my usual carriage. I noticed something was wrong on the way, so I threw the jade pendant on the street. You must have picked it up, right?" Nan Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xia Houqi and asked.

Xiahou nodded, then took out the jade pendant she had discarded from his arms and returned it to its original owner.

Nan Xi put the jade pendant away and then asked:

"Does Father know that I was injured?"

"I have not told Your Majesty that you are injured yet. I only sent someone to tell Your Majesty that I have brought you back to the palace and will send you back to the palace tomorrow."

Hearing this, Nan Xi felt relieved.

She didn't want her father to worry about her. It was just a minor injury and she could just rest for two days. In addition, it was related to the people in the household department. She could handle it by herself and then report to her father after the treatment was completed.

Xia Houqi saw Nan Xi's expression and probably knew what she was thinking.

"You are too strong. Sometimes showing weakness appropriately may have better results."

"The way you said it doesn't suit me." Nan Xi sneered.

Hearing this, Xia Houqi sighed helplessly, as if he could do nothing about her stubbornness.

"It's already very late. You have a good rest. I will go to the study to sleep tonight."

Xia Hou gave Nan Xi a meaningful look before turning around and leaving.

Nan Xi looked at his retreating back and fell into deep thought. However, for a short while, she soon became sleepy due to fatigue. She lay down on Xia Houqi's bed and fell asleep.

The next day, Nan Xi was awakened by the noise in the courtyard.

"Why are you stopping me? I just want to pay respects to the Emperor Ji. I don't have any ill intentions." Xiao Ruyan said to the maid on duty at the door. "Concubine, please forgive me. Your Majesty has an order that no one is allowed to disturb the Emperor Ji's rest. Please come back, concubine." The maid explained to Xiao Ruyan as she hugged her body.

Hearing this, Xiao Ruyan frowned, looking very unhappy.

Just when Xiao Ruyan was about to force his way in, the door opened from the inside, and Nan appeared in front of everyone with a coat casually draped around her body and her hair scattered.

"What's the fuss about? It's so noisy." Nan Xi's exceptionally beautiful face was wrinkled together, showing power without being angry.

"See the Emperor. Return to the Emperor. The concubine wants to pay her respects to the Emperor." The maid hurriedly saluted and then explained.

Hearing this, Nan Xi raised her head and glanced, her eyes full of ridicule.

I haven't seen Xiao Ruyan for a long time, and I still miss her stupid appearance.

When Xiao Ruyan saw Nan Xi's face clearly, he was so shocked that he froze on the spot and couldn't say a word.

She. How could it be her?Isn't she already dead?How could you come back?
And why did she become Di Ji? !
"I have long heard that there is a very beautiful concubine in the prince's palace, and her reputation is well-deserved when I see her today." Nan Xi looked at Concubine Xiao condescendingly and said, the smile at the corner of her mouth could not be concealed.

After hearing her words, Xiao Ruyan recovered from his shock and said:
"I have met the Emperor Ji and asked her to pay my respects."

"No courtesy, but I am curious. Concubine Xiao is very well-informed. I just came to the palace last night. Concubine came to pay her respects early this morning. Could it be that she has been sending people to keep an eye on the prince's every move?" Nan Xi As soon as he came up, he directly confronted Xiao Concubine and asked rhetorically.

Concubine Xiao was very embarrassed when she asked:
She had indeed been keeping an eye on Xia Houqi's every move, but how could this be said openly?

"Back to Di Ji, it's just a coincidence. Last night, I had nothing to do and was wandering around the palace. I saw the prince carrying a woman back to the house. After asking carefully, I found out that it was Di Ji, so I came here early this morning. Please pay your respects to the Emperor Ji. After all, the Emperor Ji will be the princess of the Regent’s Palace in the future, so I should come and pay my respects to the Emperor Ji.”

Xiao Ruyan quickly found an excuse, and then explained to Nan Xi with a smile.

"So that's it, but the concubine made a mistake about something. After I became the princess, I had no chance to interact with the concubine." Nan Xi looked straight at Concubine Xiao, with a proud look on her face. .

Concubine Xiao's face was full of surprise. She didn't know what she meant by her words. Just when she was about to ask, she heard Nan Xi say:
"Perhaps the prince hasn't told the concubine yet. When my father granted me and the prince a marriage, I made a request to the prince. If the prince wants to marry me smoothly, he must first give the palace's Yingying Yanyan. After cleaning up, the prince also promised me that he will send away all the women in the backyard, and Concubine Xiao must be among them."

If Xiao Ruyan just wanted to fight with Nan Xi before, but now she has disbelief written all over her face and questions what Nan Xi said!

"Impossible! This concubine is the concubine that the prince is marrying. How can you abandon her immediately? This is against the rules."

"Rules? Hahaha." Nan Xi seemed to have heard some joke and smiled brightly:

"What I say is the rule. Even if he is Xia Houqi, he can only do things according to my arrangements. Is Xiao Concubine questioning my power?"

"No. I don't dare"

Xiao Ruyan lowered his head, his eyes full of panic.

She originally wanted to test the temperament of the future princess and show Di Ji her status in the palace, but who knew she got such shocking news:

She is about to be divorced. What should she do?

If she was divorced by the prince and kicked out of the palace, how would she, Xiao Ruyan, see anyone in the future?And that Lin Qingyang must be waiting to see her joke!
No, she had to think of a way. She must not let the prince divorce her, or in other words, she must not let Di Ji marry into the prince's palace!

"Now that I've invited you, Concubine Xiao, please go back. Don't disturb the purity of this palace. I and the prince were busy late last night, and now that I'm sleepy, I won't chat with Concubine Xiao——"

After saying that, Nan Xi deliberately put on a delicate look. These words stung Xiao Ruyan. Xiao Ruyan immediately thought of the scene of two people being intimate. He clenched his fists and dug his nails into the palms of his hands. .
