Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

After a few days.

Xiao Yanqing had just left the imperial palace after reporting, but Xiao Yanzhou's eyes were fixed on his leaving back.

All the abnormal signs Xiao Yanqing had shown in recent days were telling him that something must have happened around him.

"Your Majesty, His Highness looks so dignified and imposing. He doesn't look like someone who has been ill for many days at all." Eunuch Li at the side couldn't help but sigh.

Undoubtedly, this was also Xiao Yanzhou's idea. Apparently, Xiao Yanqing just made up an excuse at random. He was always unpredictable, but he had never taken leave for nearly half a month in a row.

"He hasn't left the house in these days?" Xiao Yanzhou questioned.

"Yes, Your Majesty." He Yi responded.

"Is there anything wrong with the prince?"

"The prince spends most of his time in the army, so there's nothing unusual." He Yi explained to him the surveillance during these days.

"Really?" He then asked, "Where's Xiaoyu?"

"The princess has taken a carriage to Huanxiang Pavilion before, and other than that, she has never been out."

"Do you look okay?" Xiao Yanzhou subconsciously wanted to know about her situation.

"This...the princess was sitting in the carriage, and your subordinates didn't see her." He Yi lowered his head apologetically.

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Yanzhou pondered over what had happened in the past half month, "Will King Xiao let go of Xiao Yu, the towing line?"

"My subordinates don't understand."

"Xiao Yu helped him inadvertently before. What will King Xiao do if he finds out that this is related to Xiao Yu?" His deep eyes stared at a certain place in the darkness, as if they were enough to suck the life out of it.

"But Your Majesty, it's been a month and Prince Xiao doesn't seem to have taken any action." He Yi raised his doubts.

"Yes, this is the most bizarre part."

All doubts were swirling in his mind. "Maybe he was preparing to take action, or maybe he had already achieved a certain goal, but no one noticed."

He Yi followed his train of thought and suddenly got the answer. He widened his eyes and could hardly hide his surprise. "Your Majesty is saying that the princess will continue to help Prince Xiao?!"

Xiao Yanzhou shook his head, "Xiao Yu must have her own ideas. As for whether she will help King Xiao..."

unknown.

But is Xiaoyu really someone who is willing to swallow his anger?

"He Yi, ask Xiao Yu to come to the palace tomorrow and tell her that I want to see her."

……

Qing Yu had almost recovered after practicing sword skills with Xiao Wenshu recently, and Xiao Yanqing also agreed that she could gradually resume her practice.

But as soon as she came back, she saw the guards bringing a lot of things into her house. This had been happening for the past few days.

There were extremely expensive and comfortable dresses, clothes prepared for winter, as well as shoes, jewelry, and all kinds of things.

Qing Yu put away the dagger in his hand and looked at the gifts that filled the house. "Things... seem to be increasing."

Xiao Wenshu understood and curled the corners of his lips, "Haha, this is how brother shows his kindness to Qingyu."

"Hmm?" She tilted her head slightly.

Is Yan Qing like this? But this is too much.

Just as he said this, the guard outside the room leaned over to report.

"Princess, His Highness is back."

My heart was suddenly filled with joy and I jumped out to greet him.

"Yan Qing!"

Seeing her running towards him, he quickly reached out and hugged her to prevent her from falling.

"Yuer, have you just finished practicing sword?" He held her hands and felt her dress soaked with sweat.

"Yes."

"Go change your clothes first, so you don't catch a cold." He held her hand and walked towards the inner room.

Xiao Wenshu, who had greeted them on the way, tactfully retreated when he saw the situation.

"How long has Yu'er been practicing?"

Even though she had recovered, Yan Qing still reminded her to rest and not to practice too much.

"Only practice for more than an hour."

"It's been a long time, just take it slow, okay?" He stroked her cheek, noting her rosy face, making sure she was really okay.

"Okay." She responded obediently.

"Yan Qing, why have so many things been sent to me recently?" She turned to the gifts in the house.

"Yu'er, don't you like it?" He handed her the clothes prepared by the maid.

She touched the cloth in her hand. It was unusually soft and must be very expensive.

"I like it very much, it's beautiful and very comfortable."

"As long as Yu'er likes it."

He turned away and waited until she had changed before he helped her tidy up her messy hair and dress.

She sat there obediently and let him do what he wanted.

"But why are you sending these suddenly?" It's obviously not a holiday.

"The weather is getting colder, Yuer can't get sick." He explained in a very natural tone, as if this was what he should do.

"And what about jewelry?"

He pursed his lips, his calm expression unable to hide the slightly reddened ears, "My mother once said that you should give these to the people you like, but... I haven't found a better one yet."

There was a hint of regret in his words. He wanted to give her the best things he thought possible.

These words were like leaves carried by the breeze, passing through her heart and leaving an unknown mark.

Mother…

She looked at his calm face, as if she had never heard Yan Qing mention his past, what his mother and father were like...

"Yan Qing." She suddenly called him.

He raised his eyes to meet hers, "What's wrong?"

"Thank you Yanqing, I like it very much."

Seeing her sweet and warm smile, I couldn't help but rub her face.

Suddenly, he took out a bag from his sleeve and put it in her hand.

She was stunned and couldn't wait to open it and check. Inside was her favorite, crystal clear purple candy.

"Wen Shu said that the purple candy is hard to find in this shop. I wanted to buy more, but unfortunately these are all they have."

Her delicate face was filled with a joyful smile, and she hugged him, "I like this too, thank you Yan Qing."

Seeing how happy she is, it seems that candies please her more than jewelry.

Before dinner, the guards of the mansion sent a message.

Tomorrow Xiao Yanzhou suddenly invites her to visit the palace for a few days.

"Your Majesty wants to see the princess? Do you have any reason?" Xiao Wenshu asked first.

"No, nothing."

Xiao Yanqing's eyes swept towards her, darkening a little as he suppressed his displeasure.

"The princess is ill, temporarily..."

"Yan Qing." She suddenly spoke to stop him.

The guard retreated as if he understood.

"Did Yan Qing find out?"

He looked at her, as if he already knew what she was alluding to.

"What did you find?" Xiao Wenshu asked doubtfully.

She blinked her bright eyes, "Your Majesty is doubting Yan Qing."

Xiao Wenshu opened his eyes wide in confusion, "Why?!"

The two remained calm and did not seem to have any special attitude towards this huge change.

She rested her chin on her left hand and frankly expressed her inner thoughts, "Based on the previous situation, Yan Qing did too little to the Jiang family."

"Hasn't Brother Ke always been interfering in Jiang Zhuo's affairs?"

"Yes, but it's not enough. According to Yan Qing's actions, only the incident in Shancun would work. But Yan Qing did not participate in that incident. I was the one who participated."

"But didn't you say before that not getting involved is a good thing?" Xiao Wenshu also learned the general plan of that matter.

"It's a good thing, but there is no follow-up." Xiao Yanqing, who had been silent, added.

"Yes, if you don't consider me, what will Yan Qing do?" She looked at him expectantly, the smile on her lips becoming more profound.

"Find out the truth, find the mastermind behind it, and then meet Yu'er to make a deal or find out the reason."

Following his thoughts, his dark eyes gradually drooped, as if tinged with blood.

So how can he prevent the emperor from meeting Yu'er, and how can he prevent Yu'er from taking so many risks?

Seeing him lower his eyes in deep thought, and gradually showing a smile, she continued to ask: "If the cooperation fails, will Yan Qing get rid of me?"

Hearing this, he suddenly came to his senses, "Yu'er!"

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and the corners of her lips curved up. Obviously, she was teasing herself.

Seeing this, Xiao Wenshu quickly changed the subject, "Then, what should we do next?"

After a moment of silence, she turned her gaze to him, without saying a word, but she had already told him the answer.

She had to go, she had no choice.
