the side and picked up a cotton-padded jacket she had sewn herself. Without a word, she was about to go out.Seeing her about to leave, Mo Junyi quickly stopped her in front of him. "Mother, please don...With no outsiders around, An Xuetang didn't hide her plan and directly told the An Le Hou couple that she was going to visit Ye Er at the Ye family.

An Xuetang didn't mention that she planned to personally treat Ye Er, after all, in this world where power and status reigned supreme, the less people who knew about her skilled medical abilities, the better. Otherwise, she would invite trouble.

Just looking at the matter of Mo Yunren can tell you, Mo Yunren sent assassins to capture her for her medical skills.

"Hou Anle listened and seemed hesitant, "Ye Er's illness is probably difficult to cure. The Ye family are skilled physicians, and even they can't heal him themselves. Others..."

Lady Hou disagreed. She frowned and said, “Even if the Ye family’s medical skills are excellent, they can’t reattach a severed limb, can they My lord, don’t forget that the prince’s severed arm was healed in the Bei Jiang王府.”

Listening to the conversation between the two, An Xue Tang smiled. "My lord and madam need not worry, since I and the prince have agreed to intervene in this matter, no matter what way we use, we will not allow Xiaoqin to marry into the Ye family."

Listening to An Xue Tang's promise, Madam Hou's eyes turned red, and tears welled up again.

An Xuetang actually couldn't stand anyone crying in front of her, and this Houfu (noblewoman) was a crybaby. At this moment, she had to quickly say:

"Don't worry, Lord and Lady Hou, about the marriage between Xiao Qin and Ye family. Leave this matter to me and the Prince to handle. However, Xiao Qin does owe Ye family a life. To prevent any retaliation from the Ye family, Lord Hou should arrange for more people to protect Xiao Qin these days."

Nobody is a fool who knows nothing, when An Xue Tang said this, An Le Hou naturally knew what she meant. He immediately promised, "Thank you for the reminder, Princess Consort. This Marquis knows what to do."

"Very well then, Lord and Lady. I would like to speak with Xiaoqin privately for a few moments."

Lord Anle and Madam Anle subconsciously glanced at each other, then both nodded and proactively left, giving An Xuetang and Xiaoqin some space.

Xiao Qin was still her usual lifeless self, from the moment An Xue Tang entered the room, nothing had changed.

Lord Anle and his wife were afraid that Xiaoqin's appearance would anger the Princess of Beijiang, but they had no way to stop it now.

After the couple left, An Xue Tang glanced at Ning'er beside her, "Give Xiao Junzhu the tonic."

Ning'er nodded slightly, "Yes."

An Xue Tang had seen the white cloth on Xiao Qin's wrist as soon as she entered. She didn't need to think much to know what Xiao Qin had done to her own body last night.

Ning'er walked to the bedside and gently called out to the county princess. Finally, Xiaoqin responded. She turned her eyes to Ning'er, and the despair in her eyes made Ning'er feel a pang of sympathy.

"This is a tonic to replenish blood and qi, Your Highness, please take it first."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Ning'er had already placed the medicine to Xiaoqin's lips.

Xiao Qin pursed her lips, clearly not wanting to eat. Ning'er saw through her thoughts and softly said, "Princess, don't disappoint our princess's kindness, and don't worry those who truly care about you."

Xiao Qin stared at Ning'er for a moment, then slightly opened her mouth and swallowed the medicine from her lips.

The medicine was bittersweet. She chewed it a few times before swallowing it completely. Right after she swallowed, a cup of sugar water was handed to her at the right moment.

Following the hand that held the water cup, one saw An Xuetang. The esteemed Northern Border Princess was pouring water for her. At this point, Xiao Qin naturally could not lie down any longer.

She wanted to get up, and Ning'er helped her up, supporting her until she was leaning against the headboard.

Xiao Qin wanted to get out of bed and bow to An Xue Tang, but seeing her like that, An Xue Tang naturally wouldn't let her get up.

An Xuetang put the water glass in her uninjured hand, "Drink some water, you've lost a lot of blood. You need to take good care of yourself in the days to come."

Xiaoqin pursed her lips, "Thank you, Your Highness."

An Xuetang nodded slightly, not wanting to delve into a lengthy conversation with her at the moment. She went straight to the point and asked, "Why"

Why commit suicide

Even though she had already promised her with her own mouth.

Hearing An Xue Tang's question, Xiao Qin suddenly smiled wryly. "A person who has lost their heart, still living in this world to worry their family and friends, is it not better to die directly In fact, I understand that once I die, many things will seem less troublesome."

Her parents and brothers would no longer worry about her day and night, though the Princess Consort of Beijiang had promised to help her. However, she knew very well that this was a favor that wouldn't be easy to grant.

As long as she is dead, everyone will not be so troubled.

Hearing this, An Xuetang's brow furrowed. "You may be relieved by death, but have you considered your family The An Le Hou Mansion has two young ladies, but now only you remain. Don't you remember the scene when your parents sent you off as a deceased person Do you want them to experience this pain again"

Xiao Qin's body stiffened. After An Xue Tang's reminder, she naturally remembered her parents' state of mind after her elder sister's death.

She couldn't bear it.

An Xuetang saw that her expression had relaxed slightly, and continued, "You needn't be reminded by this concubine. I believe you should know how much your family loves you. Are you willing to die for a man"

"... " Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!

Xiaoqin stared blankly at An Xuetang, clearly unable to understand how she knew the reason for Xiaoqin's attempt to take her own life.

"Do you know why I am here today"

Xiaoqin shook her head in disbelief. She thought it was her mother who had gone to beg the Northern Frontier King.

But judging by the meaning conveyed by the princess, that was obviously not the case.

"The news of your suicide was deliberately leaked to the servants of our mansion by Jiang Qingyang."

"What"

Xiao Qin was obviously unconvinced. If Jiang Qingyang knew about her suicide, why hadn't he... appeared

Seeing Xiaoqin's expression, An Xuetang knew what she was thinking. She chuckled coldly and explained:

"News of your suicide naturally won't reach outsiders. After all, once it gets out, both the Ye family and the emperor will surely send people to investigate. Spreading it would only hasten your marriage into the Ye family."

"So, Marquis Anle and his wife had long since sealed off the news, preventing anyone from spreading it. But the news of your suicide somehow 'accidentally' reached our Northern Border Prince Manor. Even with your toes, you could tell what was going on."

Jiang Qingyang, unable to convince Bei Jiang Wang herself, deliberately spread the news of Xiao Qin's suicide to Bei Jiang Wangfu, hoping that Bei Jiang Wang would know that Xiao Qin didn't want to marry into the Ye family and had now taken her own life.

If Wang Bei Jiang did not intervene, Xiao Qin might have truly been unable to live. Jiang Qing Yang wanted to use Xiao Qin's life to remind Wang Bei Jiang of the deceased county princess from the An Le Hou Mansion, utilizing Wang Bei Jiang's last shred of affection for the An Le Hou Mansion to save Xiao Qin.

In fact, Jiang Qingyang wasn't really wrong to do this. He did want to save Xiao Qin, but... his approach just wasn't quite what Xiao Qin wanted.. The feeling she was getting now was like being stared at with the intention of tearing her apart limb by limb.As they were walking, An Xue Tang suddenly stopped. Ning'er and Shou'er also came to a h...
