Qing Wu went to find Xiao Chenyan after finishing her meal.

This time when she entered the study, no one came, but as soon as she arrived in the corridor, she met someone head-on.

The other person was covered in a black cloak and deliberately lowered his head when walking. All he could see was his extremely superior jaw line under the cloak.

Bai Sui led this person out, with a murderous look on his face. It seemed he didn't expect to meet Qingnu. He was stunned for a moment and saluted stiffly: "Princess."

Qing Wu nodded and felt eyes falling on her. When she looked over, the man in black robe deliberately pulled his hood again and said in a cold voice: "I have something else to do."

These words are urging one hundred years of age.

Baisui rolled his eyes, obviously he didn't like the man in black robe either. He nodded to Qingnu and led him away.

The man and Qing Wu passed side by side, and a scent of sandalwood mixed with blood came into their nostrils.

Qing Wu looked back and then went to the study.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw black-armored guards carrying a corpse out. The corpse was also wearing a black robe. It looked like it came with the person who left earlier.

The black-armored guard was stunned when he saw her, but Qingwu made a silent gesture and walked to the door, where she heard Situ Jing's angry voice coming from inside:

"Those losers from the Xie family don't even know they have spies around them, and so do you. Why would you save that blind person? It's not a good idea to let him die..."

Situ Jing's voice suddenly stopped because Qingnu came in, and there was still blood on the ground that was still wet.

She held the cloak left by Xiao Chenyan last night in her hand and stared at the man's injured hand expressionlessly.

The hand was on his left hand, the wound was deep enough to see the bone, and it was bleeding.

Situ Jing was treating his injuries. After seeing Qing Wu, he felt a little embarrassed.

Xiao Chenyan took the medicine from Situ Jing's hand and said in a calm tone: "Step back."

Situ Jing stood up and said to Qingnu as if he was complaining: "Princess, my prince is seriously injured, please bandage him." After saying that, he left and closed the door.

Qing Wu put the cloak aside, but had no intention of coming forward to help.

The atmosphere in the room was a bit stagnant. Xiao Chenyan was busy bandaging his wounds when he heard the woman ask quietly:

"The assassin who died was very skilled in martial arts?"

"not tall."

"Then you will still get hurt?" Qing Wu's eyes were cold.

She had seen Xiao Chenyan's skills before. He could easily take down a mandrill, but he couldn't avoid being assassinated at close range by others?

This wound is more like picking up a sword with bare hands.

"It's not me that the assassin wants to kill." Xiao Chenyan obviously didn't want to elaborate on this matter.

Qing Wu tilted her head, "The one you want to kill is the one you just sent away at the age of 100? This man came to see you late at night with an assassin. But the assassin is going to kill him in front of you?"

"Then frame the blame on you?"

Qing Wu smiled and said, "Situ Jing is not wrong. He is indeed blind."

Qing Wu said and stepped forward, naturally took the gauze from his hand and wrapped it around his hand.

Xiao Chenyan frowned frequently, but finally endured it.

"Today you are going to Xie's house when you leave the house?"

Xiao Chenyan hummed.

Qing Wu felt that the Xie family's young man's soul was still on him, "It seems that your trip was in vain and you didn't get into the door?"

"This is strange. Although you are no longer the grandson of the emperor, isn't the Xie family your mother's natal family?"

"Even if I want to draw a clear line with you, I will shut you down and bring assassins to see you. Those who don't know would think there is a blood feud between you."

The atmosphere in the room was silent.

Qing Wu raised her eyes and met the man's deep auspicious eyes. Xiao Chenyan's eyes were unfathomable, like a deep pool that could drown people.

His tone was unprecedentedly cold.

"Since the princess knows that I was once the emperor's grandson, doesn't she know why I was deposed as the emperor's grandson?"

Qing Wu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Because the first prince set himself on fire?"

The man's voice was as cold as ice.

"There are rumors that the former prince failed in his rebellion and burned himself in the East Palace. More than a hundred people in the East Palace were all killed."

"But in fact, after inspection by Dali Temple, the fire in the East Palace was caused by someone else."

"Later, there were witnesses who testified that the fire in the East Palace was caused by the emperor's grandson Xiao Chenyan. Although there were witnesses, there was no physical evidence, but the Holy Emperor was still furious. He deposed the emperor's grandson, gave him the word 'disgusted', and exiled him to the north."

"This matter is detrimental to the royal family's reputation, so it is kept secret and no one in the public eye knows about it."

Qing Wu's pupils narrowed slightly and she stared straight at Xiao Chenyan.

Xiao Chenyan had a smile on his face, and his eyes were as dark as ink, but there was a madness and coldness that could make even ghosts tremble.

"One of the witnesses who testified against me back then was the Xie family."

"To the Xie family, this king is a violent, unfaithful, unfaithful, murderous man who killed his parents and is hated by everyone."

Qing Wu lowered her eyes, tied a bow that she thought looked good on his hand with gauze, and then smiled brightly at Xiao Chenyan:

"Then the Xie family is indeed all blind. Since they can't see the truth, they are useless if they keep their eyes open. If they dare to make you suffer, can I help you blind them all?"

The woman's voice was soft, as if coaxing a child.

It was as if a gap had been opened somewhere in Xiao Chenyan's heart, and something was worming its way in, trying to fill the void.

The violence and madness that grew like weeds were choked. He looked at the woman in front of him and said solemnly:

"What if Xie's family didn't lie and someone really saw that it was me who set the fire?"

“Seeing may not be believing.”

Qing Wu looked back: "You didn't do it, right?"

Xiao Chenyan suddenly remembered that year.

Everyone rebelled and separated, and their parents died tragically in the fire.

He was thrown into prison and subjected to many punishments. He denied it again and again and said 'no' again and again, but no one wanted to believe it.

No one believed that his father was not treasonous, and no one believed that he did not set that fire.

From that day on, he learned one thing.

Words are always powerless to argue, only the words spoken with weapons in hand have power.

He left the prison, but he also lived in hell.

"No." Xiao Chenyan said these two words again after a long time.

Qing Wu nodded: "That's right, if it's not, it's not. Those who spread rumors about you and slander you, we will smash their mouths, break their limbs, and poke their ears."

"Anyway, they like to be deaf and blind, so that's what makes them happy!"

"Xiao Chenyan, I will protect you from now on!"

When I was little, you protected me.

Now that you have grown up, it is my turn to cover you.

There were ripples in the lake in his heart, and Xiao Chenyan wanted to laugh inexplicably, but this was the first time someone told him to protect him in person.

No, it doesn't seem to be the first time.

Who said this before?

There is a soft and waxy shadow like a little bean sprouting from the depths of my memory.

The little girl came crying and hugged his legs, crying loudly:

——Brother Yantai, someone is bullying me.

——Brother Yantai, you can protect me now. When I grow up, I will protect you~
