Daohua had no choice but to sit by the bed and watch over Xiao Yeyang as her hands were being held tightly. She would check on him and Yan Wentao from time to time and saw that both of them were sleeping heavily, which made her feel relieved.

It is easier to feel sleepy at noon in the summer. In addition, Daohua was also a little tired because she had been busy helping Mrs. Li prepare for her father's birthday in the past two days. She felt relaxed and dozed off unknowingly.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yeyang's eyes suddenly opened, and within a moment, a figure appeared outside the room.

Xiao Yeyang suddenly turned over and sat up. Only then did he see Daohua sleeping on the edge of the bed. Looking at his and her clasped hands, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then he carefully let go of his hand.

, got out of bed without making a sound, walked to the window, and asked in a low voice: "Has anyone been caught?"

The secret guard outside the house: "My subordinate neglected his duty, and the monk ran away. However, he was hit by the 'blood seal' from his master, and he will definitely not survive."

Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Keep looking, I want to see the body, and the secret letter he took away must be brought back to me."

The monk belongs to the Eighth Prince Uncle, and the secret letter he took away was what he was going to report to the Imperial Uncle. It contained the list of members of the Eighth Prince's Party that he had discovered through the Su family.

Next, the monk knew the identities of him, Wen Tao, and Wen Kai. If their identities as Jin Lingwei were leaked, it would definitely be more difficult to secretly investigate the Eight Kings and the Party in the future.

The last and most important point is that once the Eight Kings know that Wen Kai and Wen Tao were involved in the Sishan Village, the Yan family will most likely be retaliated by the Eight Kings and their party. He will never allow any harm to Daohua.

What happened.

The secret guard got the order and left quickly.

Xiao Yeyang turned back to bed and saw Daohua lying on the edge of the bed. He felt that sleeping like this was very uncomfortable, so he bent down and planned to carry Daohua to the bed.

Because of the silver needle still inserted in her chest, Xiao Yeyang's movements were a little uncoordinated when he hugged her. As soon as she picked up Daohua and prepared to put her on the bed, Daohua slowly opened her eyes.

Looking at Daohua's confused eyes, Xiao Yeyang whispered: "Did I wake you up?"

Daohua, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. At this moment, Xiao Yeyang was still picking her up and putting her on the bed. When she realized this, her mind suddenly became clear: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yeyang put her on the bed according to her current posture: "I saw you lying on the edge of the bed and fell asleep, and I wanted to hold you to the bed to rest."

After being put on the bed, Daohua immediately wanted to sit up, but Xiao Yeyang hadn't straightened up yet. Daohua raised her body halfway up and saw the silver needle inserted on Xiao Yeyang's chest. In order to avoid touching the silver needle, she

The needle had to stop.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang bent over and looking at her with a smile, Daohua didn't look into his eyes and turned her head and said, "Get out of the way first, I'm very tired like this."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, straightened up, and after Daohua sat up, sat down next to her.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang next to her, especially since he was still shirtless at this moment, Daohua couldn't help but move to the side.

Xiao Yeyang saw it and shook his head with a smile.

Daohua took out her pocket watch, took a look at it, and said to Xiao Yeyang: "It's almost time for acupuncture. You lie down first and I will pull out the silver needles for you."

Xiao Yeyang nodded and lay down on the bed obediently. During this period, his eyes must have been staring at the rice flowers.

Daohua felt it, but pretended not to know. She sat on the edge of the bed and started to help him remove the needle.

She didn't pay attention because she was worried about his injuries before, but now she discovered that Xiao Yeyang's chest muscles were quite strong. She couldn't help but move her eyes downwards and saw the conspicuous eight-pack abs. Her eyes flashed and she thought to herself, I don't know.

Before I knew it, the little kid had grown into a mighty man.

Xiao Yeyang noticed Daohua's little eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

Daohua came back to her senses, quickly looked away, and began to concentrate on pulling out the needle. She pressed Xiao Yeyang's skin with one hand, gently turned the silver needle with the other, and then slowly pulled the needle out.

Xiao Yeyang was lying on the bed, looking at the rice flowers carefully. Every time her cool fingers touched her body, she couldn't help but feel an itch in her heart.

Daohua pulled out the needle very quickly, and she finished pulling out the silver needle in a short while: "Okay, you can sleep a little longer, you didn't sleep for long just now."

Just as Daohua was about to stand up, her hand was grabbed by Xiao Yeyang.

Daohua: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Yeyang held Daohua's hand: "Please stay with me for a while."

Daohua glared at him: "I have to go and remove the needle for the third brother." After saying that, he forcibly pulled his hand out, stood up and walked towards Yan Wentao who was lying on the floor.

Xiao Yeyang looked at his hand with some regret, turned over and lay on his side, then propped his head and watched Daohua pull out the needle for Yan Wentao. Looking at Daohua's more and more graceful figure, he suddenly said: "Daohua,

My birthday is coming soon."

Daohua concentrated on pulling out the needle without raising her head: "Don't worry, I will remember it. I will definitely make you a pig's head cake on your birthday."

Xiao Yeyang sighed: "Time flies so fast, I'm already seventeen."

Daohua nodded: "Isn't it?"

Xiao Yeyang said again: "You will be fourteen soon, and you will have haircut in one year."

Daohua nodded again: "Yes."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "At my age, if I were in the capital, my uncle Huang would have already arranged my marriage."

Daohua finally reacted and looked up at Xiao Yeyang: "What do you want to say?"

Xiao Yeyang: "...We are all grown up now, it’s time to kiss."

Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, then withdrew her gaze and continued to remove Yan Wentao's needle.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but sit up: "Well...you don't have anything to say?"

Daohua glanced at him sideways: "What do you want me to say, how can I stop the emperor from marrying you?"

Xiao Yeyang: "That's not what I mean. What I mean is that I have grown up. Aren't literati always likening girls to delicate flowers? Then I am now a big tree that can protect delicate flowers."

Daohua looked at him: "So?"

Xiao Yeyang was a little embarrassed, so he turned over and took out a token from under his pillow: "The reward for going to the border has been reduced, and I have been promoted again."

Looking at Xiao Yeyang's confident eyes, Daohua smiled: "Congratulations."

Xiao Yeyang added: "Your two brothers have also been promoted. In view of their greater merit, they are now the fifth-grade Qianhu adults."

Daohua and Yourong said: "My brother is the best."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang was a little unhappy and said sourly: "When I was promoted, you didn't have as much smile on your face as you do now."

Daohua glanced at him: "That's natural, they must still be two brothers."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang couldn't sit still and sat up directly: "Why, in your heart, your two brothers are closer than me?"

Seeing Xiao Yeyang looking straight at her, Daohua was silent: "It's different. The third brother and the fourth brother are close relatives. You..."

Xiao Yeyang quickly asked: "How am I doing?"

Daohua: "...you, it's the closeness between friends."
