Under the blue sky, in the green grass, various wild flowers dazzled Mei Lis eyes. She squatted down and gently stroked a small blue flower with her fingertips. If it were before, she would have picked it without hesitation. Now...she couldnt bear to.

  Several white small shadows that came running quickly scared her, and after calming down, she found out it was a mother rabbit with several little rabbits who were frightened by the drumbeats and horns, they hid in a thicket of low trees, their white fur still so conspicuous, perhaps they were tired from running, or perhaps they thought they were safe, so they shrank there and didnt escape again.

  The sound of horseshoes came in a hurry, and Mei Li was greatly shocked. She even heard the sound of arrows being pulled out of the quiver. The rabbits also sensed danger and scattered in all directions. A little rabbit got stuck by a branch, and its mother ran a few steps before stopping and returning to guard her child, as if trying to help it escape together.

  Mei Lis nose turned sour, and tears fell straight down. At her most desperate moment... she wished there was someone who could stand in front of her like that, she wished her parents were still alive!

  She thought she might have gone mad, perhaps the mother rabbits actions had triggered her deepest longing, and she rushed over to help the little rabbit untangle itself from the branches without regard for danger.

  "Want to die?!" The sharp and low whistling feathered arrows arrived together.

  Meili only felt a severe pain in her arm, but two white shadows, one large and one small, had already quickly disappeared into the woods. She let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the arrow had missed its mark, and only the arrow feathers had grazed her arm, the pain would soon pass.

  Jingxuan has already dismounted from his horse with a furious expression, tightly grasping his bow. She still hasnt changed one bit! Trying every means to make him worry, trying every means to attract his attention, this kind of trick is used again and again!

  "Useless!" He sneered at the kneeling and bowing Mei Li, "Even if I intentionally made you a cripple, it would be useless. I wont have any guilt, its you who asked for death!" Did she know that if he hadnt changed direction at the last moment, her arm would have been ruined!

  She hung her head, the intense pain in her arm that had made her vision go black finally subsided a little, she heard every word he said clearly, what he said was right, she knew.

  She nodded politely, indicating that she understood his warning. This time, she was indeed too rash. In the past, she had used the trick of self-deprecation too many times, and it was pointless to explain. In the past, he had asked her sarcastically if she had any self-awareness, and now she did.

  He looked at her reaction for a while, snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.

  "Jingxuan brother, Jingxuan brother!" A young man came galloping on horseback with a look of anxiety all over his face.

  Jingxuans face turned cold as he mounted his horse, "Is someone dead? Why all the commotion?"

  "Go and take a look quickly, Su Ying fell off the horse and is crying while looking for you!"

  Jingxuan clamped his legs on the horses belly, irritably turning the horses head, "Not a single one is at ease!" He heavily tapped the horses back with his bow and quickly galloped away with that young man.

  Meili looked at the flowers that had been trampled by them all the way and felt a little heartache.

  There was no one around, she gently pulled up her sleeve, where the arrow feathers had brushed against, a blood clot swelled up, the skin wasnt broken, and it bulged into a dark red blood blister. She stood up shakily, it didnt matter, as long as she broke the blood blister and let the blood out, it would be fine.

  She walked back to the camp, asking the eunuch about the tent assigned to her. The location was good, adjacent to the emperors tent... but also next to Su Yuens tent. Outside Su Yuens tent, several fine horses were tied up, and the door curtain was lifted, with Su Yuens low sobbing sounds and a mans soft comforting voice coming from inside. Although she couldnt make out what they were saying, the sound... Mei Li bit her lip, knowing she had it too, but once she had yearned for his gentle comfort, she couldnt help but stop in her tracks and listen silently to his half-joking, half-persuasive tone... It was nothing more than that.

  She heard it in her ear, that pain was still painful, and it wasnt what she had thought - could comfort all the wounds.

  Yonghe led the imperial physician out of the tent, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. He raised his hand and casually wiped it with his sleeve. This Su Yinxia girl was really capable of causing trouble for people. In the future, when Jingxuan married her, he would have a hard time too. Just a scratch on the leg, and she had cried enough to fill half a vat. She scared their ancestors so much that they had to call in all the imperial physicians.

  He inadvertently turned his eyes and saw Mei Li standing at the entrance of the opposite tent, staring blankly, her face pale, discovering his gaze, she smiled slightly at him, even her lips were white!

  "Are you alright?!" He walked closer and took a closer look, her complexion was too poor. "The imperial physician is here, might as well have him take a look at you."

  "Is it convenient?" She smiled and shook her head, "Dont bother, Im fine." She turned around and lifted the curtain, revealing a bright red wound behind her ear that was quite eye-catching.

  "Wait!" He wanted to shout to stop her, but she didnt even turn around and went into the tent.

  "Whats wrong?" Jingxuan came out of Suyings tent and saw Yonghe frowning, his hand still raised as if he hadnt had time to put it down.

  "That beautiful Meili is injured, I want the imperial physician to take a look at her too." He couldnt understand why she would refuse.

  "Hurt?" Jingxuan furrowed his brow, was it an arrow wound? He nodded at the imperial physician, "Go take a look."

  The imperial physician bowed and obeyed, saying loudly outside Molis tent: "Princess Moli, let me come in to treat your wound."

  Meili was burning silver hairpins on the candle that had just been lit, and as long as she broke open the blood blister, it would be fine. Why make a big fuss about it? Its laughable to make such a big deal out of it. "No need, please go back." She rolled up her sleeves, and the blood blister was right under the scalding scar, both together making her look ugly.

  The door curtain was brushed open, she was startled, her hand shook, the hairpin opened a long slit, and the blood bubble burst instantly, bleeding down to stain her skirt. She quickly pulled up her sleeves, and the fabric immediately stuck to the wound with blood and flesh, a sharp pain.

  Jingxuan and Yonghe have brought all the imperial physicians in. Jingxuan, who entered first, naturally saw her actions clearly. He didnt speak immediately because she had acted so realistically this time that he really couldnt tell what she was thinking. The blood had already seeped out from the silk fabric, and even if it were a desperate measure, she had truly invested in it.

  "Go take a look!" He glanced at her pale face and coldly ordered the imperial physician.

  The imperial physician walked over with his back bent and a medicine box in hand, momentarily unsure of what treatment to administer.

  "Behind her ear, she was scratched by a bowstring behind her right ear." Yonghe said enthusiastically.

  "No! My left arm!" Jingxuan pursed his lips.

  "Left arm?" Yong He looked puzzled.

  The imperial physician hesitated for a moment, then pulled up Meilis left hand. He saw the bloodstain and took in a breath of cold air, being extra careful as he lifted her sleeve.

  Meili withdrew her hand, not because it hurt, but that scar... such an embarrassing mark she didnt want anyone to see.

  The imperial physician thought she was being modest and looked at Jing Xuan across from her, seeking his opinion.

  "Look!" he commanded briefly.

  Meili bit her lip, he disliked her, didnt like her... It started from when she didnt have this scar, why should she care? She forced a smile on the doctor and nodded lightly.

  When the imperial physician lifted her sleeve, everyone involuntarily gasped in unison.

  Above the bloody wound, there was a teacup-sized scar on her originally fair and delicate arm, with twisted skin and exposed blue veins, and some dark colors in the scar. Mei Li trembled slightly, after all, she didnt want people to see her ugly scars, but then she calmly lowered her eyes, ugly? Beauty and ugliness... had no effect on her.

  The imperial physician treated her wound carefully and bandaged it up, "Princess, that injury... was it caused by scalding?"

  "Mm." Meri responded softly and lightly.

  "Which doctor treated you?" The old doctor grumbled, "The charcoal ash hasnt even been cleaned up for you! A young girls home..." Feeling that he had misspoken, the old doctor shut his mouth.

  Meili smiled slightly, "I did it myself, dont blame others."

  Watching the imperial physician bandage her wound and carefully helping her adjust her sleeve, she also stood up with the imperial physician and bowed to Jingxuan and Yonghe, "Thank you both."

  Jingxuan looked at her expressionlessly and didnt say a word.

  Yonghe felt a bit embarrassed and smiled awkwardly, "It was nothing, just a small effort."

  Meili took out a few silver coins from her purse and politely handed them to the old doctor. She was all too familiar with this etiquette, for in the Cold Palace, if one did not reward the doctors who came to diagnose their illnesses and the servants who led them in, it would be even more difficult to summon a doctor next time they fell ill, and might even earn them a few cold glances.

  Because of the convention, the old doctor did not decline much either, thanked and accepted it calmly, then retreated.

  Meili looked at Jingxuan and Yonghe who were still standing in the tent with a somewhat strange expression, smiled, but didnt say anything.

  Yonghe understood her meaning, "Then well take our leave too, you rest well."

  He was just about to lift the curtain when Jingxuan moved faster than him and took a step out first.
