Xiao Yanqing just came back from outside in the afternoon.

"Your Highness, the human slave who was following us just now has been dealt with." Qian Yun's body was soaked in blood, and he leaned forward slightly.

"Were you sent by Jiang Zhuo?" Xiao Yanqing walked towards the study.

"Yes, Your Highness, do you need me to add more manpower in the palace?" Qianyun asked.

"No need, as usual." He arranged casually.

"Yes."

He returned to his study and sat down, and a guard leaned over to report.

"Your Highness, there is news from Huanxiang Pavilion that Jiang Mo wants to spend a lot of money to meet Miss Qingwu."

His lowered brows were filled with murderous intent like a raging fire. Could it be that he couldn't wait for just one day?

"Let Hua Niang refuse for now. Now is not the right time."

"It's Your Highness."

"Is she awake?" he inquired.

The guard was stunned, "Yes, Your Highness, Miss Qingyu has woken up, and it seems that the prince has also gone there."

"Let her come here."

"Yes."

Qian Yun, who had changed her clothes, leaned over and brought tea. "Your Highness, you haven't had much rest. Why don't you take a rest for a while?"

"No need." He drank the warm tea and opened the book.

Seeing this, Qian Yun didn't dare to say anything more.

After a while, she came to his study.

"Your Highness." She walked in naturally and sat aside.

He didn't look up, but he could feel her fiery gaze staring straight at him.

He put the book down and looked up into her eyes, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Your Highness, aren't you going to rest?" She clearly noticed the fatigue between his brows. He probably didn't sleep for more than an hour or two after coming back this morning.

“It won’t take that long.”

He didn't care, but her concern sounded just curiosity, but she didn't say anything more.

This reminded him of the "voice" she had mentioned before. She seemed to be in better condition recently.

"Do you often have nightmares?" he asked. If this was her weakness, perhaps he could learn from it...

But as soon as she finished speaking, he clearly noticed her pause.

She was puzzled. How did he know? Did he see it? Or did the doctor tell him?

"Yes." She responded softly.

"What kind of..."

He wanted to ask further questions, thinking that he would definitely find out something if he dug deeper, but he couldn't bear her visible panic.

"It's okay, I'm just asking casually. If you feel unwell, just ask the doctor to treat you." He pretended to be nonchalant.

"Okay." She nodded obediently with her head down, without any further objection.

After a short silence, she asked about the main matter, "Your Highness asked me to come here. Is there any news?"

According to the analysis of the situation, if Jiang Mo recognized her that day, he would definitely report it to Jiang Zhuo, and Jiang Zhuo would definitely not sit there and wait for death.

"Yes."

"Jiang Mo has spent a lot of money to meet you in Huanxiang Pavilion." He deliberately paid attention to her expression, fortunately there was no change.

"Don't worry, he won't be given this opportunity in the short term."

"Your Highness is waiting for an opportunity?" she guessed.

"Very clever, you know what it is."

"Well, a chance... to force him to take me back." A dim light flashed in her eyes, and then turned calm in an instant.

This is not enough for her. Even if she returns to the Jiang Mansion, Jiang Zhuo will still not take her life seriously. She wants Jiang Zhuo to be reluctant to abandon her and reluctant to let her leave Huanxiang Pavilion, this wonderful place to obtain resources.

"Jiang Mo won't give up easily. What should I do if I see him in Huanxiang Pavilion?" She was not sure what result he wanted. Did he just want her to stay with Jiang Zhuo?

He hesitated a little, "Are you afraid of meeting him?"

Her eyes moved slightly, and she recalled the harm that Jiang Mo had done to Jiang Qingyu in the past, which was also a hellish nightmare.

"It used to be." She didn't deny it.

He found it a little funny, "You are not afraid of Gu, but afraid of him?"

In his opinion, Jiang Mo is just an incompetent person who is brainless, rash and impulsive. His only advantage is probably that he is obedient.

"That is a deep-rooted fear, a seed planted deep in the heart. It may be difficult to overcome it." This sentence was explained on behalf of Jiang Qingyu.

Suddenly, his eyes were like a dark pool of water, hiding coldness, "What did he do to you?"

All he could find out was that Jiang Qingyu was not welcomed because she was the son of a daughter, but he had no idea of ​​the details.

Her heart suddenly trembled, and she lowered her head without responding.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingyu's experience was connected to hers. She didn't understand why they were so similar. She didn't even want to recall the fact that distorted her heart.

"Don't worry." He noticed something and interrupted her thoughts.

She raised her eyes to look at him, but heard his words to steady her heart.

"I've said before, you are my person, so you don't have to be afraid of him anymore."

She curled her lips and put a smile back on her face, "Thank you, Your Highness."

"However, if something unexpected happens before the opportunity that Your Highness mentioned comes, I hope Your Highness can help me."

"It seems you have an idea. How can I help?" He was very interested in what she wanted to do.

"It's not enough to rely on Jiang Mo to show up. I have to wait until Jiang Zhuo comes in person."

"Are you sure?"

She shook her head slightly, "Not now, but after a while, I may not know for sure."

By then, Jiang Zhuo will definitely not be able to sit still.

The look on her face as he stared at her was a pair of black pupils that were like hot steel, with an unshakable will and unwavering determination.

"Okay, I will give you this time."

"It's just..." His eyes kept lowering under his sword-like eyebrows.

"Although you are Jiang Zhuo's daughter, can you guarantee that he will not get rid of you in an uncertain crisis, like he did before?"

He used her as a shield and was not even willing to look for her. He had no intention of provoking her. This was undoubtedly a warning.

She raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Yes, Jiang Zhuo is an extremely conceited person. No matter how smart I am, he won't believe it until the day he dies."

As she spoke, her amused smile deepened. She held her chin with her left hand and played with the teacup with her right hand. She seemed nonchalant, but in fact, viciousness was spreading from her heart. He had already noticed this bloodthirsty viciousness.

"That would be great." He expected her to do something surprising.

"There's something I'm curious about." He instantly remembered the words he ignored last night.

"Hmm?" She blinked and looked at him, all the cruelty she had just shown was gone.

"How do you know someone from Huanxiang Pavilion is spying on you? I know their strength and how they hide themselves, so I guess it's not them who have revealed their true identity."

Qian Yun had monitored her before, so how could she be so alert if she hadn't been deliberately trained? But how did Jiang Qingyu find out?

“It’s just a hunch,” she admitted.

"intuition?"

He didn't believe it and wondered how he could have such an intuition without any training.

"Well, if someone stares at you for a long time, you'll have this feeling." Although he said this, he didn't know that behind this kind of intuition, there was something terrible hidden.

"Since you already knew this, why didn't you..." Not make a fuss, not resist, and not get angry?

"I understand why Your Highness did this. An uncertain factor should naturally be paid more attention to. If it were me, I would do the same."

He pursed his lips and was as well-behaved as ever. It seemed that it was not so easy to understand.
