The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 167: Stay Away
"No, maybe I heard it wrong. Anyway, it's better for us to live separately now."

Seeing her insistence, Ye Beiling didn't want to force her anymore and sighed, "If you want to live alone during this period, then live alone. You can come over anytime you want."

Wait until he goes to check who is gossiping? He finally got closer to her and was not so distant.

With Ye Beiling's suggestion, Bai Qianxi's accommodation was quickly arranged.

Lying on the bed, Bai Qianxi couldn't help but recall in her mind every detail of her time with Ye Beiling, as well as his increasing concern for her during this period.

Especially today, although she tried her best to stay calm, she still had a moment of panic until she was rescued, and Ye Beiling’s embrace...

Bai Qianxi felt her heart beating faster for a moment.

But she quickly put all these thoughts aside. How could she think about these things? She and Ye Beiling were partners, and they could only be partners forever.

The next day, Bai Qianxi got up early. She didn't sleep much the previous night, so she still looked a little tired today.

"You look like you haven't had enough rest. You can help out in the county today and you don't have to go to the dam for now." Ye Beiling saw her tiredness and spoke.

Not to mention that the dam was just as dangerous, and he didn't want to see her get hurt again.

Ye Beiling thought he was going to persuade her, but he didn't expect Bai Qianxi to nod directly after hearing his words.

"it is good."

Although this was the result he wanted, Ye Beiling felt a little uncomfortable after Bai Qianxi agreed without hesitation.

It was as if he had taken the initiative to find an excuse to keep Bai Qianxi away from him.

Ye Beiling didn't dare to think any further. He just told Bai Qianxi to be careful, and then he brought the county magistrate and others to the river.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, Bai Qianxi breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he didn't mention it, she didn't want to go with him today.

The closer she was to him, the easier it was for her to think of those things.

After adjusting her mindset, Bai Qianxi led her people out of the courtyard and began to distribute porridge and medicine. She was also responsible for taking care of the injured people who were dug out from the ruins.

Although Bai Qianxi was busy, she showed some relief in her voice when she saw that everyone's tired and painful expressions were reduced.

Just when a smile appeared on her face again, the sound of discussion not far away distracted her from the incident.

"Not good! Not good!"

"The dam finally collapsed today. Several adults were on the dam at the time and didn't have time to escape. They were all washed away by the water."

"Especially that one, I heard he was seriously injured!"

"Who are you talking about? That prince? What happened to him?" Someone couldn't help but grab the man and started talking.

"I don't know, but I heard that person is of a very distinguished status. If it's not that prince, there doesn't seem to be anyone else."

Some people couldn't help but start a discussion.

"What are you talking about! Who is injured?" Bai Qianxi was shocked and hurried forward to ask.

Seeing Bai Qianxi's cold look, someone recognized her as the one who followed Ye Beiling and quickly explained, "We just heard about it. What if it's not the Third Prince... But we heard that he is dying."

Bai Qianxi felt her heart suddenly sink and her fingers unconsciously clenched again and again before she tried hard to control her emotions.

"Have you got a horse? Lend me one."

After saying that, before the other party could react, Bai Qianxi had already untied the reins, mounted the horse, and galloped away into the distance.

Fortunately, she learned the way yesterday, so she didn't get lost.

"Miss, why are you here? And in such a hurry?"

"Where is the Third Prince? Where is he? How did he get hurt? Is it serious?"

"Miss, what did you say? When did His Highness get hurt?" The county magistrate asked in confusion. "Didn't you say someone was injured?" Bai Qianxi was even more confused. She heard such a big fuss in the city, but here it was as if nothing had happened.

"Someone was injured, but it wasn't Your Highness." The county magistrate understood what he meant and quickly explained.

It turned out that the dam on their side was indeed damaged, but the injured person was just an insignificant minor official on their side.

Because he was rescued in time, his life was not in any danger.

Bai Qianxi was stunned for a moment, then she relaxed her tense nerves. "If that's the case, then it's fine. I'll go back first."

"Wait." The county magistrate hurriedly tried to stop the person, "Miss, since you are here, why don't you go see His Highness first."

"Your Highness is not injured, but he was soaked when he was saving people just now. Now it is a cold spring. If he is not properly treated, he may catch a cold."

"This is easy. You can prepare some ginger soup. He will be fine after drinking it. If that doesn't work, I have some pills here. Please give them to him." Bai Qianxi took out a small porcelain bottle and spoke.

"This……"

Seeing her cold attitude, the county magistrate couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.

"What do you want to say?"

"We all know the relationship between the young lady and His Highness." The county magistrate showed a bit of helplessness on his face, "In front of us, the young lady does not need to deliberately maintain a relationship with His Highness."

"His Highness is still resting now, it won't hurt for you to go and see him, besides, His Highness misses you very much."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked so bad the whole day. Without Bai Qianxi around, they had to be careful even when speaking.

What's more, he is a 'criminal'.

The county magistrate spoke while wanting Bai Qianxi to follow him in.

However, the county magistrate waited for a long time, only to hear Bai Qianxi's cold voice, "What is my relationship with him? You know it."

"Besides, I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you anymore."

"Girl, girl! Look at my mouth. I can't speak. Girl, please don't leave yet. You have nothing to do with His Highness. Can you please go and see His Highness?"

If the Third Prince knew that Miss Bai had come and he had let her run away, he would definitely blame him.

"No! I have something else to do."

Bai Qianxi walked without any hesitation or pause.

"Don't you really want to see me?" A cold and hoarse voice sounded from behind.

Ye Beiling stared at the other person's back.

Bai Qianxi stopped and said, "No."

"No, why do you want to go back so soon? Is it really such a waste of time to come and see me?"

"Then why did you come as soon as you heard I was injured?"

Several questions were asked in succession.

Bai Qianxi pursed her lips and remained silent, "So, you released that news on purpose."

"No, you heard it wrong."

"Anyway, since you are here, don't leave. Some people are still injured here..."

Ye Beiling made up an excuse. In fact, these people just soaked in too much water and it was nothing serious.
