The lights in Yuxuan Courtyard were on, and there was a faint sound of noise coming from inside.

Gu Beihuai thought for a moment and walked in.

Shen Qingyan is now his princess, so it is only natural for him to enter her courtyard.

But as soon as he entered the yard, two panicked maids almost bumped into him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, the kitchen is on fire, and we are going to put it out..."

The maids quickly apologized, and Gu Beihuai then realized that they were all holding buckets of water in their hands.

His expression was stern, and he asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

"Your Highness, the princess said she wanted to make soup for you personally, and then..."

Then he burned down the kitchen.

They didn't dare to say this, but Gu Beihuai saw it.

Thick smoke billowed from the kitchen, and the servants shouted "fire put out" and ran around with buckets.

Gu Beihuai suddenly felt something was wrong and grabbed a servant and shouted, "Where's the princess?"

The servant pointed to the kitchen and stammered, "The princess is trapped inside, and Miss Qingmei brought people in to rescue her..."

Before he finished speaking, Gu Beihuai suddenly let go of the boy, and the boy rolled on the ground for a few circles before running away crawling.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the fire in the kitchen was put out a lot, but no one came out.

Shuofeng rushed over after hearing the news, bringing a number of guards with him. Just as he was about to rush in, he saw Gu Beihuai striding in.

"Your Majesty!"

Shufeng was horrified and felt his head was in danger, so he quickly led his men to rush inside.

In the kitchen, the smoke was so thick that nothing could be seen clearly. The burning wood made crackling sounds and seemed to be about to fall down, as if it would fall on someone's head at any second.

"Shen Qingyan!"

Gu Beihuai roared, raised his hand to wave away the obstructing wood, and searched in the kitchen.

He was not afraid of thick smoke and fire, and his cold eyes could see things clearly in the thick smoke. It was not that he was naturally fearless, but that he had acquired this fear through experience in many battles.

Finally, he found Shen Qingyan curled up in the corner of the stove.

Her fair little face was covered in black dust, and her thick, long eyelashes were stained with it. Her eyes were closed at this moment, and she seemed to be in a coma.

Qingmei was lying on the ground with a burnt piece of wood hitting her back. She was bleeding and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.

Gu Beihuai simply picked the person up and carried him sideways, then ran out.

Shuofeng came and rescued Qingmei and two other maids.

"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

Gu Beihuai's expression was terribly cold, and he seemed calm, but if you looked closely, you would find that his steps were a little unsteady, and the panic in his eyes was almost overflowing.

After putting the person on the bed, Gu Beihuai discovered that Shen Qingyan's right arm was injured, and a piece of white arm was stained red with blood.

"Shen Qingyan." Gu Beihuai steadied his panicked breathing, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "If you dare to die, I will let the entire Shen family be buried with you. Do you hear me?"

Shen Qingyan's eyelashes seemed to tremble, but there was no sign of waking up.

Gu Beihuai clenched his fists, making a few crackling sounds from his joints.

"Shen Qingyan, do you believe that I will kill your beloved Gu Chen'an as well?"

Shen Qingyan suddenly coughed a few times, her chest heaving violently, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.

At this moment, Gu Beihuai suddenly felt extremely ironic.

It turns out that the best way to wake her up is to threaten her with Gu Chenan.

In her heart, Gu Chenan is still important.

Thinking of this, Gu Beihuai's face was as gloomy as water, drowning out his nervousness and panic.

Shen Qingyan slowly turned her head to look at him, a trace of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes, and then she blinked, and tears instantly burst out.

"My Lord, I thought I would never see you again..."

Looking at Shen Qingyan who was crying heartbrokenly, Gu Beihuai's heart was deeply gripped. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel soft-hearted.

But just now, she did wake up because she heard Gu Chenan.

"Are you afraid of not being able to see me, or are you afraid of not being able to see Gu Chenan?"

Shen Qingyan was slightly startled, then she understood.

"Of course I'm afraid of not being able to see the prince." Shen Qingyan wiped her tears, and her little face turned into that of a little cat, funny yet a little pitiful.

"Didn't the prince just say that he wanted to kill Gu Chen'an? Don't go back on your word."

what?

Gu Beihuai frowned slightly, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Shen Qingyan added seriously: "Didn't the prince say that he would give me a chance to finish off the enemy? I've always kept that in mind."

Looking at her serious and determined look, Gu Beihuai was speechless for a moment.

But when he saw the blood on her arm, an unknown emotion appeared between his brows again.

"Before that, you need to save your life first. Shen Qingyan, are you crazy? Do you want to use your arm to gain my sympathy?"

Sensing his hidden anger, Shen Qingyan suddenly felt very happy.

"Your Highness, are you worried about me?" She blinked her big eyes, looking particularly mischievous.

“I’m afraid that if you die, I’ll have to explain to the Shen family, which will be troublesome.”

Facing the cold and arrogant prince who said one thing but meant another, Shen Qingyan took the initiative to stretch out her bloody arm in front of him and explained with a smile: "This is not my blood, this is Qingmei's blood, I saved her..."

She could have escaped, but Qingmei was eager to protect her master and rushed in to save her. Unexpectedly, she was hit by the burning crossbar. Shen Qingyan tried to save her but was choked and fainted in the chaos.

"By the way, is Qingmei okay?"

Gu Beihuai looked carefully at the bloody arm and found that there was only a large pool of blood and no wound. He felt very disappointed, but then he became angry and embarrassed.

No one should have noticed his panic and nervousness at that time, right?

"He's not dead. Go and see for yourself."

After saying that, Gu Beihuai turned away, but unexpectedly, a pair of slender arms wrapped around his waist from behind.

"No, Your Majesty, please don't leave." Shen Qingyan said anxiously, "I'm scared, Your Majesty, can you stay with me?"

Gu Beihuai didn't say anything and continued walking forward with a cold face. Unexpectedly, the person behind him came up to him like an octopus, wrapping his arms and legs neatly.

"Shen Qingyan!" Gu Beihuai roared.

"I'm here." Shen Qingyan tilted her head and replied with a smile in his ear.

She has found a solution. The best way to coax Gu Beihuai, the arrogant prince, is to pester him. One must be thick-skinned enough to win over that cold-outside-but-warm-inside heart.

The warm and fragrant breath filled his ears, softly itching, and Gu Beihuai's ears could not help but be stained with a suspicious red, but he still spoke in a stiff tone.

"Come down!"

"If the prince doesn't leave, I'll come down."

Just then, Shufeng rushed in with a royal physician.

When rescuing people just now, Shufeng saw panic on Gu Beihuai's face for the first time. He knew that he must be extremely worried about Shen Qingyan, so he dragged the imperial physician with the most knowledgeable medical books out of the bed as quickly as possible and brought him over.

Poor Doctor Jiang, he was old and his beard was all white, and he almost died on the way.

After seeing the scene in the room clearly, Shuo Feng blushed and quickly lowered his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial physician is here."

Gu Beihuai looked at Imperial Doctor Jiang, who was still in shock and trembling as he saluted, his face looking terribly gloomy.
