“No need.”

Xie Xingyun covered the corner of his mouth with his hand and pursed his thin lips under his handsome nose. His gaze seemed to be able to see the girl eating inside through the papered window.

He remembered her saying that watching him eat had given her an appetite.

Initially, he thought that if she was unwilling to eat with him, he would order her favorite dishes and lure her to eat. He was a man, so it was fine for him to starve for a meal. A little girl like her who would cry because she could not eat candied hawthorn might become even weaker if she starved for a meal.

However, the reason why she was unwilling to eat at the same table as him was actually because she was afraid that she would pass her illness to him.

The corners of Xie Xingyun’s lips slowly curled up, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

So what if it was spicy?

Previously, in the forest of Buddha Temple, there was only some spicy paste, but Xie Xingyun was still able to eat that. However, now that he was not feeling well and did not have much of an appetite, the spiciness stimulated his stomach, so he could not help but vomit.

Guo Ying was already worried. She was about the same age as the Eldest Princess and had never gotten married. She had also watched Xie Xingyun grow up. Now that she saw him frowning and smiling, she said in fear, “Young Master, have you become dazed from the fever?”

Xie Xingyun’s lips curled up slightly. “I’m fine.”

After Bai Xianyu finished half a bowl of rice, the man pushed the door open and entered.

“Were they delicious?”

The girl said with a smile, “Delicious.”

Xie Xingyun sat down in his original position and looked at her with his chin propped up. However, not long after, his view turned dark.

Bai Xianyu had just put down her chopsticks when she saw Xie Xingyun collapse on the table.

She was shocked and quickly ran over to pat his face. “Xie Xingyun?”

Seeing that there was no reaction, Bai Xianyu immediately called Guo Ying in to drag him to the bed together.

The imperial physician arrived very quickly. Fortunately, Xie Xingyun’s condition was normal. After all, he had a fever for the entire night and could not hold out much longer.

Bai Xianyu did not get up and walk in until the imperial physician left.

Guo Ying walked out and instructed some servants before coming over to bow to Bai Xianyu. “Miss Bai, 1 may have to trouble you to feed Young Master medicine in another two hours. Previously, the imperial physician said that he would have to consume it three times a day.”

Bai Xianyu nodded.

“Sorry to trouble you, Miss. 1’11 get someone to send you back before sunset.”

“Yeah.”

While she did not know what was going on with the others, Bai Xianyu felt that the unconscious Xie Xingyun was a little more obedient than the sickly Xie Xingyun. He slept very well and would open his mouth to drink whenever she called his name.

It seemed to be a subconscious response.

His mouth was not widely open. It was as if he was talking in his sleep but Bai Xianyu did not hear Xie Xingyun calling her name like the Eldest Princess had said.

However, it was enough to feed the medicine.

It was only when she left the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor that the sun gradually set and the signboard was sprinkled with the last light.

Bai Xianyu did not take the carriage from Xie Xingyun’s residence. Instead, she got someone to tell Green Pearl to send a carriage from the General’s Manor. As she walked, she no longer felt as sleepy as she did in the morning. However, perhaps because she had smelled too much medicine from Xie Xingyun today, she felt a little bitter in her throat.

Green Pearl happened to see a vendor selling candies, so she smiled and said, “Miss, there’re candies here. 1’11 buy some for you.”

Bai Xianyu nodded.

When Green Pearl went down to buy candies, she lifted the curtain and took a look.

The candy vendor was dressed in an ordinary outfit. He carried goods on shelves and wore a felt hat on his head.

She instantly thought of the day of the assassination attempt.

The previous assassin was also dressed like this.

The Court of Judicial Review had already found out that the assassin had already killed a person, which was the real vendor, before bumping into her.

She felt that no matter how stupid an assassin was, he would not specially choose to attack when the Qionglin Banquet was being held, unless… there was a reason that could not be delayed.

Especially since the location of the incident was not far from the White Horse Post.

She was also the owner of the White Horse Post.

If the case was not handled well, the Emperor would only punish the minister of the Court of Judicial Review this time. However, if they let the real mastermind get away, and they attacked near the White Horse Post again, killing someone, with the Emperor already suspicious, it was hard to guarantee that the General’s Manor would not be suspected by him.

It would have been fine if this happened earlier or later, but it happened right after she took over the White Horse Post.

After Green Pearl had bought the candies, Bai Xianyu was still frowning.

Why did it have to be at the White Horse Post?

The more Bai Xianyu thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She said to the coachman, “Turn around and go to the White Horse Post.”

Green Pearl exclaimed and said worriedly, “Miss, you just woke up in a daze yesterday. Today, when you just got a little better, you were taken to the Marquis Manor by Eldest Princess. It wasn’t easy for you to rest for a while. Why are you going to the White Horse Post now?”

Bai Xianyu rubbed her eyebrows and said, “To see if 1 could find any clues.”

When she bumped into him that day, the assassin had only killed a vendor and somehow sneaked into the White Horse Post.

The real objective might not have been achieved yet.

White Horse Post.

Because there were many scholars gathered here, the front hall was decorated like a school. Everyone gathered together to read or write essays.

Bai Xianyu had wanted to see who was staying in the White Horse Post that day, but was delayed because of the sudden incident.

Now, as soon as she entered, she asked the original supervisor for the booklet.

He smiled and said, “Miss, here is the record of everyone staying here. Please take a look.”

Bai Xianyu held it up and looked down the list of names, one by one. At this moment, her elbow was suddenly bumped, and the booklet flew out.

“I’m sorry, Miss. 1 didn’t do it on purpose.”

She took the booklet he had picked up, but when she saw his face clearly, she choked on her words and her heart skipped a beat.

The man in front of her was wearing a moon-white robe that had been washed until it was white. He looked to be in his twenties and had a rather handsome appearance. He was crouching low, and his hand was wrapped in gauze. There were faint traces of blood.

It was actually Qi Heng!

In her previous life, he was an official of the Ministry of Public Works. However, he had a strange personality and was vicious. He often went against her Third Brother.

Although it was rumored that he did not have any prominent ancestors, after entering the imperial court, he was repeatedly promoted, as if someone had helped him.

But why was there blood on his hand?

At this special juncture, she did not want to let go of any clues. Sometimes, unrelated clues might be the key to solving the problem.

In order to confirm his identity, Bai Xianyu asked, “What’s your name?”

The man in the moon-white robe looked up in surprise. “I’m Qi Heng.”

Bai Xianyu’s gaze landed on his hand. She kept feeling that there was something wrong with the site of the bleeding.

When others injured their hands, it was usually their palms and fingers. Looking at the blood traces, it seemed to be… on the side of his hand.

This time, the supervisor spoke with a rather proud tone. “Miss, Scholar Qi lost his parents when he was young. Notwithstanding this, he still became a scholar at such a young age. I think it has something to do with our Feng Shui treasure land.”

“In this recent examination?”

Qi Heng replied, “Yes.”

Bai Xianyu put down the booklet and smiled.. “Young Master Qi, can we talk in private?”
