Again?

The man's fleeing figure suddenly froze. In the blink of an eye, he endured the pain from his injured body and quickly escaped.

Chu Yin quickly sized Wei Qing up from head to toe, and confirmed that she wasn't injured. The bloodstains were all from the person who just spoke;

Wei Qing helped the Old Emperor with the needles first. The Old Emperor slowly opened his eyes and looked at the three of them in confusion, "What's wrong with us?"

Xiao Qingqian briefly told Old Emperor what happened. Old Emperor's face was extremely solemn.

"Who is it?"

"We've already left one alive. However, the Seventh Prince seems to be very sure of the other's identity."

"Someone from Xie Jing's second prince, Long Xiaotian!"

"Oh?" The light in Old Emperor's eyes became deeper.

These years, the Xie Jing had developed very quickly and continuously nibbled away at the surrounding small nations. Unexpectedly, they had become so audacious that they had sneaked into the imperial palace of the Northern Kingdom!

This was simply an extraordinary shame and humiliation!

"Prince Chu, I order you to investigate this matter! The corpses of the assassins will be hung on the tower to expose their corpses! "

These words, Old Emperor squeezed out word by word from between his teeth.

Xiao Qingqian hurriedly put down his leader's life.

Seeing that his wounds were still bleeding, Old Emperor asked him concernedly if he was hurt anywhere else.

"Don't worry royal father, this son will be fine!"

Chu Yin looked at the two from afar, his hands tightly clenched under his sleeves as terrifying creaking sounds came from his joints.

When Old Emperor asked Chu Yin how he recognized these people, Chu Yin told him everything about how Wei Qing was kidnapped.

"Seventh Prince and Princess Chu seem to have a deep relationship!"

Chu Yin laughed, "It's probably because of my royal sister!"

"Sister?" Old Emperor was stunned.

Then, he suddenly thought about the petite man who was sitting beside Chu Yin the entire time, and he smiled.

"Father, are you alright?" Seeing Prime Minister Wei slowly open his eyes, Wei Qing asked worriedly.

Prime Minister Wei rubbed his swollen forehead, "It's fine, don't worry."

Everyone woke up, and when Wei Qing helped Xiao Hanqi with the needles, the moment she opened her eyes, she felt like she was looking at a fairy that was emitting a gold light.

The blazing gaze made Xiao Qingqian even more furious.

Wei Qing was a bane of beauties!

To anyone.

Because such a thing had suddenly happened, the banquet had to be suspended. Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, and they quickly left the palace.

Old Emperor ordered for people to add the palace guards, and then ordered Xiao Qingqian to quickly investigate the matter, and then prepared to rest. Xiao Hanqi was worried that Xiao Qingqian's construction would far surpass his own, so he took the initiative to take the initiative.

"Crown Prince, you were the one who asked us to hand over the safety of the palace to you. Who would've thought that you would actually let the assassin in. We didn't pursue your responsibility and have already given you a wide berth!" Old Emperor's solemn voice made Xiao Hanqi's face change between a pale and pale expression.

Xiao Qingqian swept his eyes across Xiao Hanqi, and the corner of his mouth raised in a provocative curve.

The two of them walked out of the imperial study one after another, causing Xiao Hanqi to snort heavily.

Xiao Qingqian's smile became even wider, "Crown Prince, as a person, you have to be grateful!"

Xiao Hanqi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, staring straight at him, in the end, because he had angered Old Emperor, he could only stay silent.

Wei Qing was already waiting at the palace gate. When she saw Xiao Qingqian coming out, she got on the carriage without a word.

On the way back to the Prince Chu’s Mansion, Xiao Qingqian kept a close and silent eye on Wei Qing. That gaze was simply too deep and cold, causing Wei Qing's heart to tighten for no reason.

In order to ease the atmosphere, she lowered her eyes and poured a cup of tea before drinking it.

Xiao Qingqian asked in a cold voice, "Princess, is there nothing you need to explain to me?"

Wei Qing frowned, pretending not to understand, and looked at him.

Xiao Qingqian let out a light cry, he really knew how to feign!

He wanted to get close to her as he had done before. Unexpectedly, his heart was filled with a strong sense of loathing.

Wei Qing had already shrunk into a corner, afraid that Xiao Qingqian would do something too excessive.

However, when she saw the disgust in his eyes, she was stunned for a moment.

Could it be that he had become more refined?

Her heart was in her throat as she stared at Xiao Qingqian without blinking.

Xiao Qingqian's forehead was twisted into a lump, and looking at her, other than the ice-cold gaze, there was also a hint of confusion.

Seeing that he was starting to dislike, Wei Qing felt relieved.

"Don't you have anything to explain to This King?"

Wei Qing was speechless.

He had thought that he would no longer be entangled with this issue once he was done analyzing the situation, but he still refused to let go!

Wei Qing's thoughts quickly spun, trying to think of a way to change the topic.

"I don't think so!"

"How far have you and Chu Yin progressed between the two of you?"

Wei Qing smirked, "It's even cleaner than clear water."

Xiao Qingqian's eyes were now filled with ridicule, "Even clearer than clear water?"

If it was really like that, then, how could Chu Yin act so worriedly just now?

"This King has to remind you that you have to wipe your eyes clean. Don't be sold by others, and help others count their banknotes!"

Wei Qing said with a smile that was not a smile, "How much do you think I am worth?"

Xiao Qingqian was choked speechless, he glared at her fiercely and remained silent.

Sensing the cold Qi being emitted from his body, Wei Qing shrank his neck and did not say anymore.

The horse carriage stopped, Xiao Qingqian did not care about Wei Qing, and directly alighted the carriage.

Wei Qing was bound by the wide belt, and was close to suffocating.

She took a glance at Xiao Qingqian, who was already walking into the Palace, and curled her lips.

Xiao Qingqian's footsteps paused, he turned and looked at her, "Don't tell me you want this king to hug you?"

Wei Qing snorted and quickly got off the carriage.

As soon as she entered, she undid her belt.

Xiao Qingqian looked even more disgusted than before, "You haven't come to the sleeping quarters yet."

"It's too heavy!" She didn't seem to care at all as she undid her belt and quickly ran towards her own sleeping quarters.

Looking at her swallow like figure, Xiao Qingqian was at a loss.

He clearly detested her, but why was he still attracted to her?

Wei Qing returned to the hall, and was stunned when she saw the person in front of her.

"Eldest Miss, are you alright?"

Even though the person in front of him was Die'er, even though her voice was similar to Die'er, even though …

But Wei Qing still felt that something was not right.

"Who are you?"
