Chapter 405 The Young Couple's Relationship
Shen Li knew that the person who poisoned her would definitely make preparations in advance, and it might not be possible to find any flaws on the surface, so she also asked the Red Lotus Sect to help investigate.
Because it was inconvenient for Bai Wuyou to relay messages in the palace, the task eventually fell to Bai Ruoxue, who had been staying near Kyoto recently.

Lin Wan'er ordered the original deputy general to lead the army back to the capital, while her own thousand personal guards entered the city and stayed at the post station with Xiao Qi.
At this moment, Xiao Qi could not withstand a long journey. It was much more convenient to buy medicine and live in the city than in the large tent outside. She did not care about anything else and just wanted Xiao Qi to get better as soon as possible.
Worried that someone might try to harm him again, and with layers upon layers of guards not enough, she stayed by Xiao Qi's side herself, personally feeding him his medicine and food.
Xiao Qi regained consciousness on the third day after being treated by Old Man Zou, and felt somewhat guilty about Lin Wan'er's care.
"Go and rest. I'm fine now. My personal guards are here to take care of me," Xiao Qi said softly as Lin Wan'er brought over more porridge.
"Stop talking, open your mouth." Lin Wan'er had initially emphasized the necessity of her presence, but now she was completely silent.
Xiao Qi had no choice but to obediently open his mouth. Although his expression was helpless, his eyes clearly brightened.
Looking at the concerned expression on Lin Wan'er's delicate face by the bedside, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. What did he do to deserve such care from a female general on the battlefield and a talented woman from the capital?
"What's wrong? Is it too hot?" Lin Wan'er asked with even more concern when she saw him standing there, not eating.
Xiao Qi shook his head slightly, looked into her eyes and said earnestly, "Wan'er, this is the happiest moment of my life."
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Wan'er frowned and scolded, "You almost lost your life, and you're still happy."
"I'm happy to have you," Xiao Qi said with a smile.
"You... really..." Lin Wan'er didn't know what to say, her face flushed red, and she simply said, "Open your mouth."
"Oh." Xiao Qi liked teasing her, and his smile deepened when he saw her blush.
Who is so lucky to marry such a wonderful wife?
"If you keep doing this, I won't feed you anymore." Lin Wan'er felt his gaze burning hot, making her face even redder. She had tried to meet his gaze, but she always gave up as soon as she looked at him.
"What did I do wrong? Can't I even look at my own fiancée?" Xiao Qi looked aggrieved upon hearing this: "Your Honor, where can I go to seek justice?"
"You...when did you learn to be so sarcastic?" Lin Wan'er always felt that his tone was very similar to Shen Li's.
They really are cousins.
"Maybe it's from hunger. I'm the kind of person who tells the truth when I'm hungry." Xiao Qi was afraid she was really anxious, so he opened his mouth slightly towards her.
When Lin Wan'er heard that he was hungry, she forgot all about being shy. This man had just returned from the brink of death, so his food and drink were of utmost importance.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Xiao Qi's complexion improved. Lin Wan'er helped him lie down and said, "Get some sleep. I'll wake you when it's time to take your medicine."
"You should rest too, or I won't sleep." Xiao Qi looked at her pale face, which had become haggard from worry these past few days, and felt incredibly sorry for her.
Lin Wan'er couldn't refuse him and had to agree, so she slept on a makeshift bed next to his bed.
After they both lay down, Xiao Qi turned in her direction and reached out his hand.
Lin Wan'er, though shy, placed her hand in his palm. Their hands, one big and one small, intertwined tightly, and Xiao Qi closed his eyes contentedly.
Looking at the profile picture above, Lin Wan'er felt that dreamlike feeling well up in her heart once again.
If this wasn't a dream, then her life had truly been worthwhile.
