Yuan Xiao was extremely unwilling in his heart.

If it weren't for his mother's favoritism towards Li Wushuang, he would definitely have taken her life!

"I'm really fine. Put me down quickly!"

Freya didn't want him to carry her and struggled vigorously in his arms.

Fortunately, Bradley wasn't here. If he saw Yuan Xiao touching her, he would definitely lose control and go crazy.

Yuan Xiao ignored her resistance and still forcefully carried her back to the small courtyard.

"I'll go find a doctor to come and bandage your wound!"

After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, he was about to go and call someone, but was stopped by Freya. "There's no need. I'm a doctor myself, and I can do it myself!"

"You're too weak and need someone's help!"

Yuan Xiao insisted on this and went out to tell the maid, "Go to the Fragrance Courtyard."

The maid understood and nodded, then left immediately.

After a while, a perfumer came over.

However, by this time, Freya had already started bandaging her own wound, and the perfumer just came to help.

Taking the opportunity, the perfumer wanted to adjust Freya's body. She felt Freya's pulse and then said, "Miss Bai lost a lot of blood and needs to rest more. It's not advisable to be too tired these few days. I'll prescribe some medicine to invigorate the spirit and replenish the blood for you. If you take it for seven days, you'll recover!"

But Freya waved her hand and refused. "There's no need. I know my own body well!"

In the past few days, she had been feeling groggy and even felt tired as soon as she entered the room. But just now, Freya felt as if the tense nerve in her had suddenly snapped. Although she had lost a lot of blood, she felt much more relaxed.

She didn't understand what was wrong with her, but when she felt her own pulse, she found that her pulse was extremely chaotic, and there was a strange stream of air flowing through her body.

This situation had never happened before.

Just when Yuan Xiao left for a moment, she noticed the incense on the bedside. The smell seemed different from before.

The faint fragrance made her feel relaxed and happy.

Freya thought it was not normal. Coupled with the appearance of this "doctor" just now, who had a special fragrance on her body, and who had felt her pulse and wanted to prescribe medicine for her, Freya felt even more suspicious.

Yuan Xiao had treated her well these past few days. He had even taken good care of her and protected her in front of the queen.

This gentle and considerate appearance didn't make Freya feel at ease. Instead, she felt as if she had fallen into a trap.

Anyway, this "doctor" was not normal, and the incense was also not right.

For the sake of safety, she had to take countermeasures without Yuan Xiao's notice, in case she was controlled by Yuan Xiao before she could help Bradley find out about the situation in the palace of the Yuan Kingdom.

Seeing that she refused, the perfumer said somewhat reluctantly, "Miss Bai, don't worry. This prescription is just for replenishing blood and nourishing qi and won't have any impact on your body!"

Yuan Xiao also came in and said, "I know you understand medicine, but this is a senior doctor in our palace. I'll be more at ease if she takes care of you!"

Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Freya became even more convinced that there was something fishy going on.

However, she didn't show it and pretended to agree reluctantly. "Well, okay. I'll take the medicine, but I don't like having someone take care of me all the time. Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness!"

When Yuan Xiao saw that she agreed, he let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

Just now, he had told the perfumer about the situation at the door. The effect of the incense had failed due to the blood loss, which meant that all his previous efforts had been in vain.

But the perfumer comforted him instead, saying that the incense had a new formula. As long as Freya was physically weak and was given the specially prepared prescription for nourishing blood and replenishing qi, they could quickly achieve the goal of controlling Freya.

Yuan Xiao was overjoyed upon hearing this and then cooperated with the perfumer to persuade Freya to take the medicine.

As for her not wanting the perfumer to stay by her side, he didn't care. As long as Freya could quickly forget Leonard and be devoted to him, that would be enough.

"Sure, it's all up to you!"

Yuan Xiao readily agreed.

Freya clearly saw the joy in Yuan Xiao's eyes and became even more convinced that something was wrong.

But she also concealed it well. Pretending to be tired, she yawned and said, "I'm tired and want to rest."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xiao quickly motioned for the perfumer to leave. Then he stepped forward and said to Freya, "Then you have a good rest. I'll come to see you again tonight."

"Okay!"

Freya also "obediently" agreed.

As soon as Yuan Xiao left, Freya quickly opened the incense burner, and a pleasant fragrance wafted out from it.

She frowned slightly and sensitively sensed that there was something wrong with the incense.

At this time, she couldn't just throw away the incense. The only way was to find a way to interfere with the smell.

After thinking for a long time, Freya called the maid in and ordered, "Go and get me some tea leaves."

Although the maid was a bit puzzled about what the tea leaves were for, the prince had ordered that she must obey all of Freya's instructions.

So the maid quickly went to do it.

After she brought the tea leaves, Freya made the tea leaves into sachets and hung them on her body. She even spread tea leaves under her pillow.

Although the effect of this was minimal, it could interfere with the smell of the incense so that she wouldn't inhale too much of it and cause trouble.

After finishing all this, Freya said that she liked flowers and asked the maid to bring her a bunch of roses every day and put them in a vase.

With such a mixed smell, it could disperse the aroma of the incense.

Of course, the maid reported Freya's arrangements to Yuan Xiao as soon as possible. However, Yuan Xiao didn't think much of it and let Freya do as she pleased.

Of course, after Freya was busy making these arrangements, due to her injury, she felt a bit tired and soon fell asleep on the bed again.

She slept soundly until a whistle sounded outside the courtyard, and Freya suddenly woke up.

She was no stranger to this whistle. It was the sound of the wolf tooth jade whistle.

Realizing this, she quickly got out of bed and rushed towards the door.

Just as she was about to open the door, she thought that if she went out like this and was seen by the person sent by Bradley, it would definitely make the man worry when he reported back.

So Freya turned back to the room, picked out a long dress and put it on, which covered the wound on her body.

She looked at herself in the mirror and, after making sure there was nothing wrong, Freya calmly went out.

When the maid saw that she was out of bed again, she said worriedly, "Miss, you're injured and need to rest well. If you have anything to do, just call me and I'll come in."

But Freya waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I just came out to get some air. It's too stuffy inside."

After saying that, she took a few steps forward. As if she had suddenly remembered something, she said to the maid, "By the way, I'm a bit hungry. Go and get me something to eat!"

When the maid heard that she wanted to eat, she immediately went to make arrangements.
