"Subordinate made the decision on his own accord. He deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes. It's just that, Your Highness should properly cherish his own body."

Jiang Yang immediately knelt down on one knee and said.

"Whatever, you go out first."

Shen Qinghan sighed helplessly.

"Yes."

Hearing that, Jiang Yang left the room.

After Jiang Yang retreated, he raised his head and looked at the dispirited candle light. The brush in his hand burned with pain, and the wound on the back of his hand stung.

"However... After all, you're a man, how can you become a crown princess? "

That soft sigh sounded beside his ear. Shen Qinghan slowly closed his eyes and couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"Just how do I properly protect you …"

Right at that moment, a hurried knock on the door pulled Shen Qinghan out.

Shen Qinghan opened his eyes, "Who?"

However, before he could finish his sentence, the door was pushed open and a man in blue walked in.

When Lin Jie saw Shen Qinghan, he grinned. Then, as though he had suddenly thought of something, panicked and immediately said: "I knocked on the door."

"…" Shen Qinghan was expressionless, "Is there something you need?"

Lin Jie walked in front of Shen Qinghan and took out a small box of ointment from his chest pocket, then laughed, "I believe you don't think that the wound on your hand is important, so you probably won't use the ointment, so I helped you get the ointment."

"No need."

Shen Qinghan retracted his gaze and lowered his head to read.

"I've brought everything here, so why don't you just paint it?"

Lin Jie did not ask whether Shen Qinghan agreed or not, as he grabbed Shen Qinghan's hand and pulled his sleeves.

"I said not."

Shen Qinghan frowned, and was about to pull out his hand, but just as he was about to open his mouth and bite Shen Qinghan, Shen Qinghan subconsciously stopped.

"If you move again, I'll bite you. I'll keep my promise."

Lin Jie wrinkled his nose, and warned fiercely.

Shen Qinghan could only give up resisting, and helplessly stroked his forehead.

Lin Jie happily opened the box, grabbed Shen Qinghan's hand, and used his fingertip to pick up some ointment to make Shen Qinghan faint on his wound. However, Lin Jie did not know how to control his strength, it was originally not as painful as before.

Shen Qinghan sighed.

"What are you sighing for?"

Lin Jie raised his head, looked at Shen Qinghan, and suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and laughed: "Could it be because you're too moved?"

Lin Jie lowered his head in embarrassment, "Hahaha, actually you don't have to be so touched, this is what I should do … "Hahaha!"

"…"

Shen Qinghan's temples suddenly jumped, and he remained silent for a long time.

"Thank you."

Suddenly, Lin Jie slowly lightened his movements, and said softly.

As those three words fell lightly beside his ear, Shen Qinghan was startled. He lowered his head and looked at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie lowered his eyebrows, and carefully opened the ointment, very seriously, his eyes that were reflected in the candlelight seemed to be slightly shining.

"San Xi told me about this ointment, he said that this ointment is the most effective against burns, and oh, if you put this ointment on, it wouldn't leave any scars …"

Lin Jie continued to feed the medicine for Shen Qinghan as he chattered on.

From start to finish, Shen Qinghan did not say a single word as he just sat there upright. Unknowingly, his pair of deep eyes had long since landed on Lin Jie's body.

Shen Qinghan looked at Lin Jie, and from his eyebrows to his lips that were chattering nonstop, why would such a normal and ordinary person suddenly barge into his line of sight?

Shen Qinghan couldn't understand, but he really couldn't understand.

To this day, he still didn't know why he would rush forward to block Lin Jie, but before he could even think about it, his body had already moved.

Thinking about that, Shen Qinghan suddenly froze.

"Shen Qinghan, what do you like to eat? I'll make it for you tomorrow.

Lin Jie applied the good medicine on Shen Qinghan before lifting his head, yet when he saw Shen Qinghan's pair of deep and cold eyes, Lin Jie was stunned.

Just like the day he was dragged onto a bridal sedan to marry Shen Qinghan, only, Lin Jie kept feeling that the current Shen Qinghan was different from the him from then.

"I'll go back first."

Lin Jie released Shen Qinghan's hand, let out a dry laugh, then placed the ointment on the table and said, "Remember to apply the ointment."

Immediately after, Lin Jie left in a hurry.

Shen Qinghan looked at the ointment on the table, then retracted his gaze, slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

After the assembly, Shen Qinghan made a trip to the imperial study.

At this time, Shen Yanwen was sitting down as he leisurely sipped on his hot tea.

"This son greets royal father."

Shen Qinghan walked in slowly and bowed slightly.

"Qing Han, I heard that royal father was injured?"

Shen Yanwen put down his teacup and looked at Shen Qinghan with a meaningful smile.

"Thank you for royal father's concern, it is just a small wound."

Shen Qinghan said indifferently without changing his expression.

He didn't want the imperial physician to come here because he didn't want the emperor to know about this matter. However, in the end, it was still known.

"Hehe, although it is only a small wound, you still have to be more careful. I just don't know where this wound came from."

Shen Yanwen smiled and asked, looking at him, he obviously knew about it, but Shen Yanwen liked to ask even though he knew the answer.

Shen Qinghan said, "It was me who accidentally overturned the teacup."

"Nonsense!"

Just as expected, Shen Yanwen's face immediately changed as he shouted, "Don't think that you can lie to my royal father. Don't think that my royal father doesn't know anything just by staying in the palace.

"Since royal father has already investigated everything, why ask me?"

Shen Qinghan sighed helplessly.

Hearing that, Shen Yanwen was startled, and after a moment, he reacted. He squinted his eyes, and stared at Shen Qinghan, "Alright, Qing Han, you're trying to trick royal father?"

"This son doesn't dare."

Shen Qinghan said.

"Qing Han."

Shen Yanwen suddenly called out to Shen Qinghan.

"Your son is here."

Shen Qinghan was extremely respectful.

"Since you're willing to protect Lin Jie, then, has your state of mind changed?"

Shen Yanwen looked at Shen Qinghan and spoke slowly.

"This son …" "I don't know."

After pondering for a long time, Shen Qinghan shook his head.

"Qing Han!" royal father knows how happy you are to be able to get along with Lin Jie. Lin Jie is a good child, please treat him well. "

Shen Yanwen smiled faintly.

"This son understands."

"Another day, bring Lin Jie to the imperial mausoleum, and let your mother see him."

Shen Yanwen said in a heavy voice.

This time, Shen Qinghan did not answer.
