Chapter 46: A Plan Within a Plan

iced Xiao Yuge at this time. She had been living in the Buddhist hall for years and had no contact with the outside world, so she was naturally unaware of the relationship between Qian Tingxuan and Xi...Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"What are you doing" Qian Ting stopped her just in time, grabbing her arm hurriedly.

How could a defenseless woman escape unharmed from the pursuit of these venomous snakes Despite the searing pain in her arms, Xiao Yuge’s face remained as calm as if nothing had happened.

"You could say I just happened to save you!" Qian Tingxuan pursed his lips, was she this ruthless towards him He hugged her tightly, took a breath, and leaped over the bushes. With a few jumps, he returned to the pavilion area.

Xiao Yu Ge was secretly shocked. How good was this man's light work to be able to hold her, someone so big, and still arrive here with such ease.

"Miss!" Qing Luo saw Xiao Yuge first and ran over with a sob: "Miss, are you hurt Where are you injured Let me have a look."

>

"Silly girl, I'm fine." Xiao Yuge pinched her round face: "Look at you, you've cried until your eyes are swollen like a kitten."

Here's the translation: >Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Ge'er!" Xiao Yu Fu, supported by An Ling, also arrived there. Seeing Qian Ting Xuan, she was taken aback and quickly stepped forward to pay her respects: "Your Highness!" She thought to herself: How could Your Highness be here, and with Ge'er

"No need for formalities!" Qian Tingxuan merely waved his hand lightly, without even glancing at Xiao Yufu.

Xiao Yufu acted as if she was concerned, hurriedly feigning worry towards Xiao Yuge: "Ge'er, are you hurt" That anxious expression of hers, if not for her rebirth, Xiao Yuge would have believed it. All this was planned beforehand by them, yet now she pretended to be so innocent, so good at acting. It's a pity she didn't go to Ruyi Pavilion to perform.

"Sister, don't worry. I just tripped and fell while running earlier. It's just a scratch, nothing serious." Xiao Yu Ge withdrew her hand without a trace: "Thank goodness Wang Ye appeared in time to save me."

"Thank you, my lord, for saving my younger sister." Xiao Yufu bowed deeply to Qian Tingxuan.

“No need to thank this king, I was just passing by and lending a hand.” Qian Tingxuan’s face was expressionless, his brow furrowed slightly: “However, there is something I don't understand. You were all together, why did those snakes chase Xiao Ge alone”

"This..." Xiao Yufu was speechless for a moment, then stammered, "Perhaps there's something about my sister that attracts snakes."

"Is that so" Qian Tingxuan's sharp eyes seemed to pierce right through her.

Xiao Yu Ge knew this wasn't the time to expose Xiao Yu Fu, so she interrupted Qian Ting Xuan: "Sister, why are only you two here Where are Ye Jie and the others"

When it comes to this, Xiao Yufu's eyes unconsciously showed a look of fear: "After we scattered just now, I don't know who bumped into the hornet's nest over there. The hornets chased us frantically. Sister Ye and the others were stung, so I sent them back to the house first, and I was lucky enough to be protected by An Ling so I was spared."

"Hornets" Xiao Yu Ge's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. This was all within her expectations, the answer was in the sachets she had given them.

She already knew that the sachet Xiao Yufu gave her must have been laced with sandalwood, and sandalwood was a snake's favorite, so those snakes kept chasing her relentlessly.

And the scent she gave them, if worn alone would be fine, but they schemed against her, and for safety's sake, each added a sprig of Impatiens to their own sachet—a flower known to ward off snakes. But when the Impatiens’ fragrance mingled with the scent she had given them, it became irresistible to bees. It’s only natural that the bees would swarm them.

If it wasn't for their malicious intentions, she wouldn't have acted that way. Blame only lies with them for harming others and themselves. She wouldn't sympathize with them, only pitying Xiao Yufu's deep cunning for refusing to wear the incense she gave her, which saved Xiao Yufu from danger.

"Feller! Singer!"

At this time, a rider galloped straight towards them, and the one on horseback was Chu Tianqi!

"Brother!" Xiao Yu Fu rushed to Chu Tian Qi's side after he dismounted, tears welling up in her eyes before she could even speak: "Brother, so many snakes suddenly appeared here just now, it was terrifying. Ge’er also got hurt."

As soon as Chu Tianqi heard that Xiao Yuge had sprained her ankle, he rushed to her side in three big strides. "Yuge, where did you sprain it Is it serious"

"Brother, it's okay, it's just a scratch." Xiao Yu Ge lifted up her sleeve.

"Seeing you like this, all injured...does it hurt" Chu Tianqi felt a pang of sympathy looking at the horrifying bloodstains.

"It doesn't hurt." Xiao Yuge was also surprised. In this life, he actually cared about her so much. Could it really be because she gave him the azure sword Or was he also acting

"I'll take you back to see the doctor!" Chu Tianqi scooped Xiao Yuge into his arms, leaped onto his horse in one bound, and instructed An Ling and the others, "Take good care of Miss!" With that, he galloped away.

Xiao Yufu looked at the dusty figure disappearing into the distance, a feeling of disappointment washing over her. In the past, her brother always put her first, but this time he returned as if he were a different person, no longer paying attention to her like he used to.

Beneath his mask, Qian Tingxuan's cold eyes narrowed slightly. His brows were furrowed, as if even tighter than before. Chu Tianqi had actually ignored him completely and ran away with Xiao Ge'er in his arms right in front of him. This filled him with a nameless anger he couldn't explain.

Chu Tianqi was a member of the prince's faction and held an important position. It was normal for him not to take this powerless prince seriously, but he couldn't care less about him! He just couldn't touch his little singer!

>

At that moment, he was stunned by his own intense possessiveness. When had he ever gone to such lengths for a woman They had only just met... Actually, it wasn't true. They had known each other for a very long time.

"Your Highness, I'm taking my leave!" Xiao Yufu slightly inclined her body and then, supported by An Ling, walked towards the carriage.

"Miss, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore." Qing Luo felt Xiao Yu Fu was a bit tense and thought she was still scared.

She had no idea that Xiao Yufu's fear stemmed not from what had just happened, but from the fear that Qian Tingxuan would press her further and expose her flaws.

After everyone had left, several figures in black, dressed for action, emerged slowly from the woods beside them. Leading them was none other than Jiang Zhiyi!

< >

"Damn it! That despicable woman, Xiao Yuge, has escaped once again!" Jiang Zhiyi glared with hatred in her eyes. "Xiao Yu'fu, that idiot! She can't even handle such a small matter!" She suspected Xiao Yuge was behind the recent palace affairs, but lacked evidence. Xiao Yuge had ruined her reputation, and she would not let her get away with it!

```

"Miss, Master ordered that the Xiao family cannot be moved for now. Doing this, Master might..."

"Be bold!" Jiang Zhiyi slapped the man back with a crisp sound: "How dare you, a servant, comment on what this young lady does! If my father finds out about this, I'll kill you!" Xiao Yuge had ruined her reputation, and she swore to make Xiao Yuge suffer a thousand cuts before she would be satisfied.

Then the subordinates hurriedly lowered their heads and retreated to the side. came of age, your true identity was revealed, and you left in public. It seems like you already knew the truth back then. That is to say, you secretly hired someone to find Aunt Lan, but Father doesn...
