Ke Shouwang suddenly found it hard to breathe, his face turning purple-red, gasping for air on the ground.
The servants were scared out of their wits: "Oh no, the young master just ate peanuts, and now he’s having an attack!"
Bai Xuanmo raised an eyebrow: "He can’t eat peanuts?"
The Ke family servant nodded: "The young master has been swelling all over since childhood if he eats peanuts, and in severe cases, he can’t even breathe!"
Zhi’er quickly tugged on Bai Xuanmo’s sleeve: "Brother, hurry and save him~"
Bai Xuanmo was not the type to meddle in other people’s affairs.
But, when Little Ball asked him for a favor, that was different.
Bai Xuanmo made everyone step aside, laying Ke Shouwang flat on the ground.
He first leisurely took the pulse, then glanced at Ke Shouwang with narrowed eyes, chuckling.
"Lucky for you that you met me; otherwise, you’d really be at death’s door."
Saying this, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve, poured out a brown-green medicine pill, and directly fed it into Ke Shouwang’s mouth.
The Ke family servants, having long been exposed to Bai Xuanmo’s silent poisoning skills, hurriedly asked: "What’s this?"
Bai Xuanmo glanced at them, sneering: "It’s something to save him, what’s there to be afraid of."
In no time, Ke Shouwang indeed coughed heavily for a while, then gradually regained consciousness.
His thoughts finally cleared up, as the illusion medicine was almost faded.
"I... I seem to have been dreaming, am I not dead?" Ke Shouwang asked hoarsely.
Zhi’er lay in front of him, her cute and charming little face above him, blinking her big eyes.
"You’re not dead, you have great fortune and blessings, you won’t die~ My brother saved you!"
Ke Shouwang turned to look at Bai Xuanmo beside him.
The latter stood by nonchalantly with arms crossed, indifferent.
Ke Shouwang’s face showed a hint of awkwardness.
Supported by the servants, he stood up, unwillingly at first, but after thinking it over, he clasped his hands and bowed to Bai Xuanmo.
"Thank you, Eldest Heir, for your rescue, I didn’t expect you to rescue me despite our disagreements."
"From now on, I will no longer cause trouble for you."
"Today’s bet, I lost, but never mind, winning and losing is part of life!"
The Ke family servants exchanged glances.
Seeing their young master so grateful to Bai Xuanmo.
They really wanted to tell him how these two siblings almost killed him.
Sister fed him peanuts, brother was responsible for saving him.
Completely in the dark, Ke Shouwang knew nothing.
But remembering how Ke Shouwang shouted for grandma while eating peanuts.
The servants decided not to mention it now, saving it for when they returned to the manor.
Ke Shouwang looked at Zhi’er and also courteously made a bow.
"Young lady, may I ask your name? You helped save me today, I want to gift you a present."
Zhi’er waved her little hands, smiling brightly with eyes curved, gracious and adorable.
"No need to be so polite."
Bai Xuanmo chuckled coldly at the side: "I call her sister, guess what her surname is?"
Ke Shouwang thought with his not-so-clear mind: "Could it be... Bai as well?"
The little one nodded: "Correct."
Ke Shouwang turned his head toward the servants, suspiciously making eye contact: "If the Eldest Heir’s sister also has the surname Bai, then she is..."
The servants were quicker to react than he was, a group of people with wide eyes, shouting in unison —
Zhi’er jumped off the chair, lifted her little dress, gracefully and adorably curtsied.
"Indeed, I am the Princess~"
Ke Shouwang’s breathing became urgent again.
The Emperor’s fondness for his daughter has long been known in the Capital!
He had nearly acted brazenly in front of the little princess just now.
Bai Xuanmo didn’t want to waste more words, picked up Zhi’er, and headed outside.
The little one in her brother’s arms tilted her head and waved a little hand at Ke Shouwang: "Goodbye~"
