Bai Xianyu slept deeply this time, maybe because she met a familiar person yesterday, she actually dreamed of Xie Xingyun.

In fact, she has lived a good life in the past few years. She is far away from Kyoto, and there are fewer red tapes. Her brothers have also left the land of wolves, tigers and leopards, and live in a small village on the edge of Linzhou, which can be regarded as a small paradise.

Therefore, she rarely thinks about her past life. Although Xie Xingyun has always been the object of people's envy and discussion, she only thinks of the past as a dream.

Last night's dream was also a little weird.

She dreamed that Xie Xingyun had been sitting beside her bed all night, sitting politely and not looking at her. He just turned his back to her and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Bai Xianyu looked at the edge of the bed, stroked it gently with his hand, and frowned slightly.

Is it the temperature of her fingers or the temperature of the quilt...

It can never be a dream come true.

It was bright outside, and when she walked out of the door, she suddenly smelled a medicinal fragrance, which seemed to be coming from the yard next door.

Bai Xianyu looked over in confusion, but his sight was blocked by Xiao Zheng.

"You're awake."

Bai Xianyu raised his eyes and glanced at him, "Why are you here?"

Xie Xingyun should have gone to court at this hour, and Xiao Zhengli should accompany him.

"Well, my subordinates carefully questioned my young master yesterday. The young master ordered his subordinates to be responsible for protecting your safety from now on."

"Responsible for protecting me?" she repeated, feeling surprised and uncertain in her heart, "Is this what your young master actually said?"

Xiao Zheng said with two big dark circles under his eyes, "Yes."

Bai Xianyu's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. If she was just a little skeptical before, this situation now caught her by surprise.

Xiao Zheng is not an ordinary bodyguard, he is Xie Xingyun's confidant, and can even be said to be a brother-like existence. How could Xie Xingyun just let him protect "him".

Could it be that Xie Xingyun recognized her when she was on the street?

Bai Xianyu frowned. If he recognized her, why did he pretend not to recognize her?

After being lied to for so long, shouldn't you be angry when you find out the truth?

When her mind was in turmoil, the smell of medicine lingering in her nose seemed to get a lot worse. She asked casually, "Why is the smell of medicine in Mr. Xie's yard so strong?"

Xiao Zheng did not hesitate and said first: "Since my young master regards you as one of his own, my subordinates will not hide anything from you."

He added silently in his heart, not only was he one of his own, the young master also said that Chi Lian was also his master from now on. For Xiao Zheng, this status meant that he had a higher priority than the eldest princess.

Bai Xianyu was attracted by his words, his eyes darkened slightly, "Hide it?"

She had a feeling that the answer to the mystery was about to be revealed.

"You must be wondering why the young master loses his composure on the street, right?" Xiao Zheng said seriously: "Actually, the young master thinks you are someone else."

"who?"

"The late Miss Bai Wu."

Bai Xianyu paused, his eyes questioning.

"Miss Bai Wu passed away three years ago. The young master has been having physical problems. He has hallucinations from time to time. In addition, the young master refuses to receive treatment, so it is getting worse now. When the young master has hallucinations, he will often talk to the air, and even do

He had some abnormal behavior, and it was because of his hallucination yesterday that he disturbed you."

There was silence for a while.

Bai Xianyu felt a little tight in his chest, "Why don't you get treatment?"

"The young master said that this is the only way he can see Miss Bai's family."

For this illusion, Xie Xingyun would actually do such irrational behavior, even hurting her own body. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, "...are you stupid?"

Xiao Zheng didn't hear her words clearly and continued: "But fortunately, the young master is willing to cooperate now. Maybe it won't take long to be cured."

"...Why did you change your mind again?"

"Young Master has always believed that Miss Bai Wu's death was not an accident. In recent years, Young Master has used thunderous means to deal with many potential enemies of the General's Mansion, making everyone in the court feel in danger. But on the surface, it seems that Young Master holds great power, which is surprising.

I was frightened after hearing the news. In fact, the young master is also worried that his illness will soon be hidden. Now at the critical moment, no matter how reluctant the young master is, he must put revenge for Miss Bai Fifth in the first place."

"Master, you will go to the palace to meet the emperor soon. If the young master loses his composure in front of the court officials one day, please ask master to help cover it up."

Xiao Zheng bowed down respectfully. Although he didn't know why the young master trusted Chi Lian so much, this was the order he gave him. Like any previous order, he would fulfill it seriously.

No wonder he would come here in person. If the court had her help, the secret might have been kept secret longer.

It turns out that he didn't recognize her, but mistook "him" for her.

Or is it that Xiao Zheng is kept by her side just to monitor her behavior and prevent her from doing the same ridiculous things that the Imperial Master did in her previous life.

Everything seems to be explained.
