Chapter 1354: Caring About Me?

e internal organs and six bowels.Luckily, Bai Han discovered it in time and used his skills to heal him, allowing him to recover.After two hours of channeling energy to heal, Bai Feng's complexion fin...Ye Er had regained his composure at this point. His thin lips were pursed, trying his best to appear nonchalant. "I wonder what the county princess has found me for today"

"...."

Xiao Qin pretended she hadn't heard what she said before and continued, "Ye sir, you are likely to be hunted down next. Your situation is very dangerous."

Ye Er raised an eyebrow slightly, "Why do you say that, Your Highness What's your basis"

When he spoke, his eyes subtly glanced at the arm that Xia Qin had grabbed, his expression seemingly unremarkable. However, the slight upturn of the corner of his lips was almost imperceptible.

He didn't know himself, but right now the look in his eyes, fixed on Xiaoqin, held a warmth that was hard to notice.

At this moment, Xiaoqin only wanted to explain herself to him quickly and hadn't noticed anything amiss in his gaze.

"I also overheard my parents talking by chance. My father said that Mr. Ye is now a favorite of the Emperor and has blocked many people's interests during this period, so there are probably quite a few people in the court who want something to happen to Mr. Ye."

At this point, Xiaoqin seemed to remember something and suddenly felt a wave of regret. She looked at Ye Er with guilt and said, "I'm so forgetful! Knowing that you are in danger now, I still asked you to come here. I should have gone to Lord Ye's mansion directly."

Xiao Qin was obviously getting agitated, her words were becoming incoherent. After she finished speaking, before Ye Er could react, she hastily added, "Forget it, forget it. It's pointless to say anything now anyway. You're here now."

“...”

Ye Er wore a look of helpless doting. What did he need to say

Xiao Qin sighed, seeing that Ye Er's expression was still unchanged. She was afraid that Ye Er would misunderstand her as talking nonsense, and quickly continued to explain:

"Master Ye, please don't disbelieve me. I heard it with my own ears from my father, and according to my father, many people in the officialdom have already bought assassins to attack you. Don't look at my father as someone who doesn't mix well in the official circles, but he still has some connections. Since he mentioned this, he must have heard some definite news. You must believe me, I'm not making things up."

"I believe."

"...."

Xiao Qin was afraid he wouldn't believe her, and she wanted to explain eagerly, but Ye Er's firm two words instantly stopped her.

For a moment, she couldn't react. She just stared blankly at Ye Er's eyes.

Ye Er saw her like this, and his mind forgot their awkward identities in that instant. He smiled indulgently.

"! "

His laughter finally brought Xiaoqin back to her senses.

It was also his laughter that made her realize just how close she was to him. Worse still, she found her hand tightly gripping Ye Er's arm.

Previously, there wasn't a single feeling, but now that I look at them, they are way too close and the atmosphere is quite ambiguous.

She immediately let go of his hand and backed away two steps.

Ye Er looked at her liberated arm thoughtfully, a hint of darkness in her eyes.

Xiaoqin's awkward moment passed when she remembered the purpose of her visit to Ye Er today. The awkwardness eased considerably, and she cleared her throat to apologize for what she had just done. "I'm sorry... I offended you."

Ye Er had now composed herself and returned to her usual impassive expression. "It's fine,"

"That...that what, Lord Ye, please sit first."

To spare her from such embarrassment, Ye Er tried his best to appear nonchalant, acting as if he hadn't noticed her previous actions at all. He walked over to a nearby chair and sat down slowly.

Xiaoqin saw that he was fine, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After a moment's pause, he also walked to Ye Er's opposite and sat down.

On the table were already placed teacups and a teapot. Ye Er leisurely poured two cups of tea, pushing one towards Xiaoqin, "Thank you, County Princess, for informing me."

Xiao Qin is also a person who doesn't care about trivial matters. Since Ye Er didn't mind what just happened, she calmed down after a moment and recovered to normal.

And just now I got so worked up and spoke so much, I didn't even see the tea. Now that I see it, I am actually quite thirsty.

So, when Ye Er pushed the teacup toward her, she didn't hesitate at all and drank it in one gulp.

After she set down her teacup, Ye Er silently poured another one for her, but Xiao Qin did not continue drinking.

Xiaochun took a look up and down at Ye Er, sighing inwardly, "Ye Er's foolishness is cured, but his frame looks so frail. If he really encountered danger, he couldn't even run away."

That's also why she ran to tell him the moment she heard her parents talking.

The purpose is to get him to start preparing earlier and have more people around, so that if something really happens, there will be someone to help him.

Feeling Xiaoqin's piercing gaze, Ye Er pretended not to see and didn't take the initiative to speak.

Instead, Xiaoqin took a deep sigh after sizing Ye up and said, “It seems there are no guards around Lord Ye. If Lord Ye trusts me, why not let my guards accompany you first When Lord Ye finds a high-ranking guard, I can return my guards to me”

"No need, the lady's guard isn't large. If I were to take it, the lady would lack protection when traveling."

"It doesn't matter, anyway I usually don't go out. The guards of our Marquis's mansion are not vegetarian either, it wouldn't be easy for anyone to break in. Besides, I don't go out much on a daily basis and don't have the chance to make enemies, let alone someone with a grudge. Even the guards staying by my side wouldn't be of much help."

After all, she is the daughter of a marquis and has several guards by her side. Her guards are indeed idle every day. Since Ye Er is now in trouble, it's not impossible for the guards to temporarily help him.

Seeing her seriousness, Ye Er raised an eyebrow. "I'm afraid the county mistress would be willing to mobilize the Hou Mansion guards, but the House Mistress wouldn't agree. The guards are usually responsible for protecting the county mistress, but they take orders from Duke Anle or the House Mistress. If she had them serve me, they would definitely ask Duke Anle or the House Mistress first."

"Speaking of which, Ye Er cast a meaningful glance at Xiao Qin and slowly added, "I wonder if the Madam Hou would agree"

“......”

Xiao Qin was instantly speechless.

It is indeed as Ye'er said, the guards protecting her are indeed under the orders of her father and mother.

She dared not speak to her father, but she knew her mother would certainly be unwilling for there to be any further contact between the Hou Mansion and the Ye Mansion. So she figured that when the guards went to consult her mother, they would surely be scolded, and she herself would be nagged by her mother for a while.

Thinking of this, Xiaoqin looked at Ye Er with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, I forgot about this. What...what should we do It seems like there's no one around you who can protect you."

Ye Er's eyes became very deep, he stared intently at Xiao Qin's eyes, and instead of answering, he asked very seriously, "Does the county lord care about my life and death Why"uldn't stay for long; they would find us eventually. To be precise, we haven't reached a point where we can move freely within the Beijang camp."Bai Longqian frowned, "But the weapons they wielded wer...
