"Miss Green Branch, Miss White's medicine is ready. If there's nothing else, we'll escort the two ladies back to the manor now." The Mu Manor guard said coldly from behind Green Branch.

  The green branch quickly withdrew its attention and turned around with a smile on its face: "Then I'll have to trouble the guard, brother."

  "I dare not. I am just following the young master's orders." The guard replied stiffly.

  Bai Taoyue was sent back to the Mu Manor in a carriage, escorted by the Mu Manor guards. Meanwhile, Mu Qingge sent Qin Yiyao back to the Princess Manor and, to prevent any accidents, had someone give her a cold water bath as soon as she entered the manor, then left her alone in her room to rest.

  She instructed the maids in the princess's mansion to bring a rocking chair, prepare some refreshing tea and delicious food, and place them outside Qin Yiyao's room.

  As soon as she returned to the Mu Mansion and lay down on her own bed in her room, Bai Suoyue slowly came to.

  The familiar scene in front of her, different from when she lost consciousness, made her heart skip a beat, and she subconsciously grasped the hem of her clothes. It wasn't until she saw the green branch busily moving around in the house that she slightly relaxed.

  "Green branch." Bai Taixue called out softly.

  The pain in her chest brought back the memories of her previous fears, slowly recovering.

  The sound from behind made the green branch turn around quickly.

  Seeing Bai Taoyue had woken up, she hastily ran to her side and happily said: "Miss, you're awake?"

  Bai Shaoyue puckered her lips and asked, "How did I get back?" In a daze, she remembered that she was carried onto the princess's carriage by Mu Qingge, and after that, her memories were all in a mess. Even now, her head was still dizzy and heavy.

  "Nature is a slave who will bring you back." Green Branch said proudly.

  Then, adding fuel to the fire, she said: "Miss, you don't know that Young Master knew you were injured and yet he left you at a roadside clinic and went to flirt with that princess. It was this servant who brought you back from the clinic."

  A cold glint flashed in Bai Su's eyes, and Lu Zhi's words ignited a fire of anger within her that overpowered the pain.

  She was actually abandoned by Mu Qingge at a street clinic like this?!

  No!

  Suddenly, in the hazy memories of the horse-drawn carriage, Bai Suoyue seemed to vaguely recall that Princess Chang Le was leaning on Mu Qingge with some abnormalities, and herself...

  Suddenly, Bai Suoyue's cheeks turned red due to her embarrassment.

  She actually let Mu Qing Ge see her unbearable side, even if she was under the influence of drugs. But as a woman, she was like that in front of Mu Qing Ge, yet he still abandoned herself and threw himself into the arms of Princess Chang Le?

  In an instant, her flushed cheeks turned pale and gloomy.

  He saw his own flesh and blood, saw... shouldn't he be responsible?

  A fierce flame of anger burns in his icy eyes.

  "Miss, what's wrong with you? Is there still some discomfort somewhere? Why is your face turning red and white? I'll go get a doctor for you again." Green Branch immediately turned around.

  "Halt!" Bai Taixue's icy voice rang out, stopping Lüzhī in her tracks.

  "Miss?" Green Branch turned around in confusion and looked at Bai Taoyue who was lying on the bed, emitting cold air all over her body.

  Bai Shaoyue's eyes narrowed as he gazed at her, his teeth clenched in anger. "Tell me everything you saw when you came to pick me up," he growled. "Don't leave out a single detail."

  Lu Zhī's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her mistress had discovered the secret she was keeping from her. She hastily knelt down and said: "Miss, please calm down, Lu Zhī didn't intentionally keep it from you. It's just that I couldn't bear the thought of Young Master knowing Miss is injured, yet he still has the heart to go out and have fun...

  Bai Shaoyue frowned upon hearing this, but also guessed that Lüzhī had misunderstood.

  When the master frowned, Green Branch's heart trembled and she hastily said: "It was... Young Master who sent Miss to the medical hall for treatment and also dispatched people to the manor to summon the guards and servants to go to the medical hall. After Miss finished her treatment, Young Master instructed the servants to take good care of Miss and ordered the guards to fetch medicine before bringing Miss back."

  "What I want to hear is not this." Bai Taixue directly interrupted Lüzhī's words. She didn't care how well Mù Qīnggē had arranged things, the fact was that he had abandoned her.

  "What... what is that girl listening to?" Green Branch looked bewildered.

  Bai Suoyue's eyes narrowed slightly as she asked in a low voice, "When you arrived at the medical hall, did you see Princess Chang Le?"

  Uh...

  Lu Zhī was taken aback, seemingly unable to keep up with her master's train of thought. Nevertheless, she replied truthfully: "This servant did not see the princess, but saw that the princess's carriage had stopped outside the medical institute, and there were also maidservants and guards from the princess's residence surrounding the carriage."

  "Did Mu Qingge get on the princess's carriage after leaving the medical hall?" Bai Tuyue asked again.

  Lu Zhī nodded vigorously: "I personally saw the young master get on the princess's carriage, and as soon as he got on, the carriage left."

  Bai Shaoyue's face completely darkened, and the hatred in her heart could no longer be restrained.

  "Mu Qingge, how dare you treat me like this? In the past, my father died in battle to save your grandfather. Because of his death, my mother was driven to despair and took her own life, and I, who should have been a noble lady, became an orphan living under someone else's roof. Your Mu family already owes me so much. And now, when both the Princess Chang Le and I are poisoned, and I'm also injured, with the poison affecting me even more deeply than her... you abandon me and refuse to save me, only thinking of rescuing that noble princess?"

  Suddenly, a surge of evil fire burst forth from Hakuren's abdomen, rendering her powerless in an instant. The turmoil that had occurred twice before was coming again, filling the depths of her eyes with despair.

  "Hmph... " Bai Suoyue let out a sorrowful and cold laugh. She had known all along that the poison hadn't been cured.

  That poison, if it doesn't infect others... how can it be cured? If it's allowed to spread, when her own sanity is destroyed, will she die in a burst of energy or find someone to detoxify at random?

  The grief and despair in her heart filled Bai Taoyue's entire body with a terrifying aura, scaring Luozhi back two steps.

  Actually, Bai Suoyue didn't think that the unusual feeling in her body at this moment was just the last wave of the medicine's power dissipating. As long as she persisted and endured it, everything would be fine.

  She thought that the poison she had ingested was a kind of ruthless and unparalleled toxin, and in the end, it would either be death or falling into someone's hands. Only such an outcome would match the sinister and terrifying personality of Prince Qin Jin.

  No! She doesn't want to die!

  How could she die without taking back everything that was supposed to be hers?

  Bai Shaoyue's eyes ignited with unwillingness.

  But ——

  If she doesn't want to die, who should she find to detoxify her?
