The f * cking Helian Junyan was clearly a tyrannical boar man! She had no freedom to see anyone!

Xiao's mouth was agape as she walked back to her room unhappily. Coincidentally, she saw Qin'er and Quan'er reprimanding her favorite, Lan'er.

What was going on? Not mentioning how Helian Junyan bullied her every day, she had just returned to the palace when she saw the two girls he sent to bully the palace maid she was most proud of. Wasn't this bullying too much?! Xiao gritted her teeth and quickly walked in.

"Damned girl!" Did you and Empress tell me about the two of us? That's why she's so wary of us? "

"No …." "No …" Lan'er, tears in her eyes, took a step back in fear.

"Don't move! Answer me! Empress clearly lost her memories, how could she know to guard against the two of us? We should have let His Highness take you to another palace so that we wouldn't be held up! "

"Yo, what happened?" Xiao suddenly walked in and asked with a sneer.

The three palace maids turned stiff at the same time and turned to look at Empress, who had suddenly returned to her room.

"Your Majesty …" Lan'er pursed her lips and was about to cry when she saw Qin'er glare at her. When Lan'er saw this, she quickly retracted the grievance she had been feeling and lowered her head.

"What is it? When I return to my own room, do I still need to look at the two of you with unwelcome expressions? " Xiao looked coldly at Qin'er and Quan'er. Step by step, she walked towards them. Standing beside Lan'er and looking at her reddened eyes, she helplessly sighed in her heart.

This girl really loved to cry. She didn't dare to say anything about her grievances, as if she felt that her master wouldn't be able to save her even if she were to appear!

Was she, Empress, so sad? Xiao raised her head in annoyance, looking at Qin'er and Quan'er with eyes devoid of fear. Suddenly, she chuckled softly, "When did you ever forget to kneel down and pay respects to me?"

"Ah …" Quan'er regained her senses and turned around to look at Qin'er. She quickly pulled her to her knees and shouted in unison, "Her Majesty the Empress, Wan An!"

Seeing that, Lan'er was about to kneel down as well, but Xiao held onto Lan'er's arm, preventing her from kneeling down. She turned her head and pondered for a moment before getting Lan'er to help her sit on a soft chair.

Seeing that Empress didn't seem to want to wake them up, Qin'er raised her head first and looked boldly in Xiao's direction, with the same threatening gaze as Helian Junyan.

He truly had the kind of master and the kind of servant! Xiao rolled her eyes and took the plate of snacks offered by Lan'er. As she ate, her large eyes half-closed as she looked at the two impatient Qin'er and Quan'er leisurely.

Xiao suddenly felt a little stifled that even two small palace maids would dare to ignore her words, or even try to be perfunctory. Although she had lived in the twenty-first century, where all men were equal, she did not like having a group of people kneeling before her. But when the person in front of them was a servant who relied on the power of his servants, she really wanted them to kneel for three days and three nights. She wanted them to know that she was, after all, Empress and Helian Junyan had the strength to threaten her, but these two dogs … Nu. He had not reached the stage where he could bully her and the little palace maid that she liked.

She seemed to have reached the point where she shouldn't be able to bear with it any longer.

Xiao raised her eyes slightly and looked at the two men kneeling before her. "Tell me, whose life is it?"

"Your Majesty, Nu …" This servant is His Majesty's man, and death is His Majesty's soul! Of course it's yours, Your Majesty! " Quan'er lowered her head, but her eyebrows were knitted tighter and tighter. This Empress had actually changed so completely.

"Oh? "If that is the case, what would happen if I were to chop off the head of one of you two because I am so bored right now?" Xiao sneered.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty …" Qin'er bit her lips and raised her head to look at Empress in slight panic.

When His Majesty The Regent had sent them here, he had also said that they were Empress's palace maids. As long as he reported her incident to him, they would listen to him even if His Majesty wanted to kill them.

Empress had always thought that she would never say something like that. No one would have imagined that she would one day retaliate against her in such a weak and feeble manner …

"What is it? Are there any objections? " Xiao raised her pretty eyebrows and half-closed her eyes, which had a bit of dignified starlight in them.

She, Ling Xiao, was not someone who would be easily bullied by others. If she had to blame someone, she could only blame these two palace maids for offending her bottom line! One had to know that the thing she hated the most in her life was a servant relying on the power of his men!

"Don't know …" May Your Majesty forgive the sins that the servants have committed! " Qin'er sighed and obediently lowered her head. She didn't dare to look at the dignified Empress anymore.

"You're right." Xiao's sudden words shocked Lan'er, who was standing to the side.

"However, since we are your masters and you are our servants, do you dare disobey us if we want your lives?" Xiao continued to sneer.

"This... Since Qin'er and Quan'er didn't anger His Majesty, how could His Majesty … " Quan'er lifted her eyes.

The smile on Xiao's face disappeared. She sat up straight and put the plate of snacks in Lan'er's hands. Then, she looked at the two kneeling on the ground with cold eyes. Qin'er and Quan'er seemed to be unable to bear it any longer.

"If the Lord wishes for this subject to die, then this subject has no choice but to die! Could it be that the two of you have never placed me in your eyes, so you even dare to bully the girl that I like the most? " Xiao, who had decided not to waste her time with these two servants, had a trace of cold hostility in her eyes.

In any case, she had once been a senior executive and had also been a Little Boss. If she didn't even have the ability to teach her subordinates a lesson and make them reflect on it, then she really despised herself! The two palace maids in front of her were her first counterattack since arriving in the Western Lion Country!

"Nu." "Your servant …" Qin'er Quan'er pressed her forehead to the cold ground, not knowing how to explain. If he angered her again, she was afraid that she would lose her life!

"Do you need me to explain your sins one by one?" Xiao stood up.

"Your Majesty …"

Xiao suddenly sneered, "If you know where your fault is, what you should do, and what you shouldn't do, then you can get up and go to the wall to reflect for ten days! When all of you know what is a master and what is a servant, I will forgive you! " With that, she no longer looked at them. Xiao turned around and walked to the window, looking at the azure stone platform beside the window, and the Dragon and Phoenix treasured sword atop it.

"Thank you, your majesty!" Quan'er hurriedly stood up and pulled Qin'er along as she turned around to leave.

"Wait." Xiao suddenly spoke with her back facing them, "If any of you still need to report to the Flame Heaven Palace before you head to the dungeon, I'll have to trouble you to tell Regent and I that if you are dissatisfied, you can come straight to me. I won't refuse!" With that, Xiao suddenly smiled.

Qin'er and Quan'er looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock. Seeing that Empress had nothing else to say, they hurriedly ran out.

"Heavens, his Majesty …" Lan'er's large eyes flashed with admiration as she walked up to Xiao's side. Her eyes were wide open in disbelief as she looked at her master, who was no longer being bullied by others.

Knowing that the two palace maids had already left, Xiao suddenly let out a light sigh. She raised her hand to rub her face, which had been stiff because of the cold expression on her face, before turning her head. With a faint smile, she looked at Lan'er and said, "In the future, if there's anyone who wants to bully you, you have to counterattack.

"But …" "They're Regent's people …" Lan'er lowered her head, feeling wronged.

Xiao frowned. After stretching her neck, she forcefully lifted Lan'er's chin and looked into her eyes: "Regent is Regent, and this slave is the servant. Especially someone like them who intentionally bullies you, you must not be afraid!" They were not allowed to control it either! Because you are a human, the closest person to Empress in Xiling Kingdom! "

Lan'er pursed her lips, raised her head gratefully, and nodded seriously.

Seeing that she seemed to have really listened to him, Xiao smiled in satisfaction. Feeling a little tired, she turned around and laid down on the bed. She raised her eyes and stared blankly at the bed curtain embroidered with golden phoenixes.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xiao woke up in a daze and looked around at the dark light.

It was those luminous pearls that bloomed in the night once again. Xiao sighed. She sat up and saw that Lan'er had fallen asleep on a nearby table.

'This girl must have been waiting for her to wake up, right? ' Xiao stood up helplessly and walked to Lan'er's side. She initially didn't want to wake her up, but after hearing the sound of someone getting off the bed, she suddenly woke up. She rubbed her eyes and stood up.

"Your Majesty …" Lan'er pouted.

"What time is it now? "If you're tired, go back to sleep." Xiao turned around and took off her outer robe. She hadn't taken a shower today and had already woken up. If she didn't take a good bath, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep.

"That won't do. Lan'er has to attend to His Majesty's bath before she can go back to rest!" Lan'er stubbornly ran behind Xiao-Ming. She stretched out her hand to take Xiao's burdensome outer clothes, then continued to help her take them off. The clothes were really too heavy.

Lan'er held onto Xiao as they walked into the back room of the bedroom. She opened the door to the white jade stone that held a dragon and a phoenix in it, took off her last inner garment, and then led Xiao into the warm water.

Spreading out the warmth from her body, Xiao unconsciously let out a comfortable moan. Leaning against the jade stone platform at the side, she quietly enjoyed her favorite moment of the day.

The ancient flower petals bath, it really is the best thing to relieve the pressure ah! Xiao raised her head and took a deep breath.

Lan'er's yawn suddenly came to her ears. Xiao suddenly turned her head and looked helplessly at Lan'er, who was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. It was already late at night, yet he was still so stubborn from being trapped like this.

"I'll soak here for a while before going back to sleep. Quickly go back!" Xiao said with a faint smile.

"No way!" Lan'er was still stubborn.

"This Emperor orders you to go back!" You're yawning right next to my ear, I'm feeling awful too! " Xiao looked at her helplessly.

"Ah, your majesty … "Lan'er's just …" Lan'er panicked when she heard that, "Your Majesty, you have to atone for your sins!"

"Then go back. Don't tell me that you want me to write an imperial edict for you to go back to sleep?" Xiao rolled her eyes and smiled.

"Ugh …" "But Your Majesty …"

"What is it? You really want me to write an edict? " Xiao leered at him.

"Alright!" Lan'er pouted, but she was so tired that she really wanted to go to sleep immediately. Seeing Empress insist, she couldn't refuse anymore. She turned around, folded the clean undergarment and put it to the side, then told Xiao to put it on before leaving.

Xiao closed her eyes and breathed in the fragrance of the flower petals.

Not long after, when Xiao leaned against the jade wall and almost fell asleep comfortably, she suddenly felt someone's presence nearby.

Xiao opened her eyes abruptly and looked around cautiously. She could feel that Helian Junyan was the only one who possessed such a cold yet burning gaze!

"It's the middle of the night, His Highness isn't waiting outside the palace gates. Instead, he came to the bathroom and took a peek at a woman's shower, wouldn't that sully His Highness' brilliance?" Xiao turned her head and looked around coldly.

As expected, Xiao didn't panic when she felt someone walking slowly towards her from behind. She lifted the bottle leisurely and poured the water gently onto her arm.

Helian Junyan narrowed her eyes coldly as she walked forward step by step until she stood behind Xiao. She indifferently looked at Xiao, who did not even bother to cover up her body.

"Since Your Majesty knows that there is someone here, why are you still so idle?" There's a towel right next to it. Don't you want to cover it up? " Helian Junyan raised her brows coldly.

Xiao chuckled as she lowered her head to look at her beautiful figure which was faintly discernable in the water. She said lightly, "If His Majesty The Regent wants something bad to happen, I'm afraid you don't need to find others to break my virginity! Since Your Highness doesn't want to, why should I hide it? If I really do cover it up, then I would be in deep love! "

"Just who are you?" Suddenly, Xiao heard a trace of killing intent in Helian Junyan's cold voice.

Xiao was stunned. She turned around and looked at Helian Junyan, who was looking at her with narrowed eyes.

I'm afraid that Quan'er and Qin'er have already reported this to him. Otherwise, why would he suddenly barge into her bathroom just to investigate her background?

"Who am I? Does Your Highness still need to ask?" Xiao suddenly looked at him with mockery. With a lazy smile on her face, she slowly swam towards the center of the pool. It seemed that under Helian Junyan's gaze, she didn't care even if she was naked.

Helian Junyan stood at the edge of the pool, her dark purple eyes giving off a complex feeling that no one could see. However, looking at her beautiful body that was slowly swimming in the pool and the enchanting fragrance that was emitted by the entire bathroom, Helian Junyan suddenly frowned, suppressing the scorching feeling that came from her.

Ling Xiao'er and him, Helian Junyan, must never have any kind of intimate relationship in this life! Helian Junyan frowned. Suddenly, a small crack appeared in her usually calm mind. Her slender fingers were buried in her palms, and her fists were clenched tightly.

Hearing the bone cracking sounds from Helian Junyan's fist, Xiao suddenly stopped moving and stood up without any concealment. She looked at him with a teasing smile, "What? Is His Majesty The Regent feeling unwell? "

Seeing her suddenly emerge from the water, Helian Junyan's body shuddered. She turned around and solemnly said, "Wear your clothes, and come to the front!" Saying so, he quickly walked out.

Xiao proudly looked at the figure of his back that was fleeing in panic despite enduring in silence. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and giggled.

He turned around but didn't pick up the undergarment that Lan'er had prepared for her. Instead, he wrapped a semi-transparent cloth towel around his body. He lowered his head and was satisfied. Then, he slowly walked out.

Helian Junyan, I want you to know today that I'm not that easy to mess with! Since you don't want to touch me, then I will make you suffer!

When he walked out of the room, he saw Helian Junyan standing by the window. Her ice-cold back didn't reveal even a trace of panic. It was as if his slight loss of composure just now was just her daydreaming.

Xiao raised her eyes and stepped forward. She pinched her throat and said in a half-hoarse and seductive voice, "Your Highness, what are your orders?"

Hearing Xiao's extremely alluring voice, Helian Junyan first furrowed her brows, turned around, and looked at her.

Xiao only wrapped a translucent white cloth around her chest, covering the area from her chest all the way to her buttocks. The rest of her body was exposed to the air.

At this moment, even though she wasn't as bold as when she stood in the water, she was even more attractive.

Helian Junyan frowned and looked coldly into her eyes that were filled with threats and enticement. She suddenly laughed coldly as if she had noticed her gaze, walked up to her, grabbed her waist, and pressed her to her chest. She then lowered her head and smiled charmingly, "You want to seduce a man at your age of fifteen? Isn't it too early? "

Xiao replied Helian Junyan with a sweet smile. Suddenly, she lifted her hand and wrapped it around Helian Junyan's neck, feeling the unconcealable desire in his gaze. "Hmph. Helian Junyan, if you fight with this old lady, you will definitely suffer a loss one day!"

Xiao's eyes were like silk. Her body, which had been pressed against her chest, suddenly twisted slightly. She brushed past Helian Junyan, laughing softly as she said, "Why can't I seduce someone at the age of fifteen? Some people even found me three men on the first day of my fifteenth birthday … "It almost broke my body …"

Suddenly, Xiao felt a tightening sensation from the one behind her waist. Xiao looked up and smiled at Helian Junyan, who had an ugly expression on her face. "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"Are you blaming This King for not letting you have a taste of a man?" Helian Junyan did not get angry, instead, she smiled and lowered her head, vaguely spitting out a scorching breath on Xiao's mouth.

"If, if I say yes …" Xiao suddenly smiled seductively and turned around. She wanted to withdraw from Helian Junyan's embrace, but found that his embrace was too tight.

Xiao raised her head and stared at Helian Junyan's pair of deep purple eyes. Suddenly, she raised a snow-white arm and gently covered his eyes with her hand.

Xiao's eyes suddenly sparked with mischievous sparks as she slightly stuck out her tongue. When he could no longer see what was happening, she nervously looked at Helian Junyan's sexy lips. Carefully swallowing her saliva, Xiao saw that he didn't pull her hand down, so she took a deep breath and leaned forward to offer her soft lips.

Xiao felt that Helian Junyan seemed to want to step back and not touch her. Xiao suddenly pushed Helian Junyan onto the bed with all her might and quickly spread her legs to sit on Helian Junyan's lap.

When she felt something hard pressing against her private parts, Xiao raised her head and looked at Helian Junyan's deeply furrowed brows with a smile.

Helian Junyan raised her hand and suddenly gripped Xiao's waist tightly as they looked at each other.

She was just an ordinary man, and after being seduced by her for a while, he was already unable to hold it in!

Noticing the dangerous glint in Helian Junyan's eyes, Xiao smiled seductively, bent down, and suddenly licked the part of her throat that protruded out of Helian Junyan's neck.

Suddenly, Helian Junyan's muffled moan could be heard. He felt him suddenly press tightly onto Xiao's waist, pressing her close to his lower body, rubbing against her through her clothes.

Xiao felt that the time had come. She suddenly pulled back her hand and threw aside the cloth that couldn't cover anything. She smiled sweetly at Helian Junyan, who was continuing to endure, then lowered her head and kissed his cold lips.

Helian Junyan initially thought that he would be able to endure for a long time, but as soon as Xiao's lips touched hers, Helian Junyan suddenly grabbed Xiao's waist and fiercely kissed her sweet lips.

Xiao couldn't help moaning softly. She didn't expect Helian Junyan to be so experienced. Just the kiss alone was enough to make her, the leader of the group, almost unable to control herself.

Xiao's chest was suddenly covered by a large hand. Just as she was about to knead it teasingly, Xiao suddenly leaned against Helian Junyan's chest weakly, uncontrollably trembling.

Even though Xiao's body had already begun to submit to him, she still forced herself to have some sort of rationality. She knew what she was sitting on right now, and she also knew her goal.

Suddenly, Xiao exerted some strength and sat up straight. Her lips were still intertwined with Helian Junyan's hot body, and as she softly moaned, her body twisted.

Helian Junyan suddenly let out a muffled grunt. Xiao felt her entire body being pressed down by him. His clothes were all covered by his clothes, and the hard and scorching part was pressed tightly against her lower abdomen.

Helian Junyan lowered her head and caught a cherry on Xiao's chest. Her other hand slowly moved down along Xiao's soft breasts.

When her private parts were suddenly touched by someone, Xiao screamed out in shock. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man who started to stir up trouble on her body.

She wasn't mentally prepared. She didn't really want to be his woman all of a sudden! This... Could it be that this situation had gone out of control? Xiao raised her eyebrows, but her body was still uncontrollably pandering to him.

Suddenly, Xiao fiercely bit her lips and pulled her rationality back a bit. She raised her hand and gently touched Helian Junyan's well-built back, as if she was begging for something. Yin: "Junyan..." "Give me …"

Time seemed to have stopped as Helian Junyan suddenly froze. She lifted up her purple eyes that were tainted with some blood red and looked at the woman lying on her body in deep sorrow.

No... She could still be considered a girl … Moreover, it was absolutely impossible between them!

Helian Junyan snapped out of her daze and sat up abruptly.

Xiao was half happy and half worried. She raised her hand to try and hold Helian Junyan's body, but suddenly felt a sharp pain on her neck and almost stopped breathing.

Xiao opened her eyes and looked at the man who was clenching her teeth and choking her in disbelief.

"Ling Xiao'er …" Don't think that you can make This King let you off just by using this method! " Helian Junyan gritted her teeth. When she saw the bewilderment and fear in her eyes, she quickly let go and got off the bed.

Xiao took two deep breaths and rubbed her neck before sitting up. She lowered her head to look at the bruises on her body caused by Helian Junyan and the cloth on the ground that she had pulled off. Xiao bit her lips, frowned, and looked back at the entrance to Helian Junyan's chamber.

Suddenly, the corners of Xiao's mouth curled into a faint smile.

Helian Junyan, what exactly is your relationship with me? If not for a little reason, based on your style, you might have already finished me off …

On the second day, the sky slowly brightened.

Before Lan'er came to her room to serve her, Xiao had already found a light pink cotton dress inlaid with small beads and flowers at the bottom of the closet in the inner room. Although the dress looked quite extraordinary, it could still be considered as something that a rich family could wear.

At dawn, a pretty, pale pink figure suddenly and quickly ran out of the large chamber without holding a light.

However —

Two hours later, Helian Junyan's eyes were filled with stars as she stood coldly within the verdant garden pavilion beside the palace entrance. She coldly looked at Ling Liu-Li, who sat on a stone chair with a displeased expression with her head lowered.

He had just received a report from his subordinate. When he saw Ling Xiao'er dressed in such ordinary clothes but with a hint of elegance, he was slightly stunned. He immediately knew that she wanted to secretly run out of the palace to play, so he frowned and didn't let go for a long time.

"Your eyebrows are so close to twitching like a fried dough twist …" Xiao helplessly raised her eyes and rolled her eyes at Helian Junyan, who seemed to be in a bad mood.

It was obvious that he was in a bad mood. He had probably not slept well last night even after he had been tormented for an entire night! At this thought, Xiao suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth and snickered.

Helian Junyan glanced at the nervous woman who was still laughing to herself. With a cold tone, she asked, "Why do you want to leave the palace all of a sudden?"

"Being bored in the palace is not fun for you, and no one is with me to relieve my boredom! Of course I have to go out and take a look! " Xiao raised her eyebrows and looked back at Helian Junyan's beautiful face with her clear and large eyes. "Can you not always put on such a dignified look? In any case, I'm still Empress … "Although I'm dressed like a commoner now, at least you should act like you're afraid of me, so that others won't think you're really out of line, right?" After saying that, Xiao rolled her eyes fiercely.

"Besides an ignorant commoner, does Your Majesty think that no one else in the Xiling Kingdom would be able to see through it? Why should This King be afraid? " Helian Junyan sneered.

Thus, her innocent expression was almost scattered by Helian Junyan's words. Xiao lowered her head and sighed.

"I'm holding it in, I just want to go out of the palace and walk by myself. I don't want to waste time with you!" With that, Xiao stood up, intending to ignore Helian Junyan.

Earlier, she was intercepted by the guards at the entrance, saying that without Regent's orders, even Empress would not be allowed to leave the palace. And Regent's name was for her safety!

F * ck! He clearly didn't want her to leave in order to prevent her from finding reinforcements or something to disrupt his plans!

Helian Junyan looked coldly at Xiao's back as she walked out of the pavilion. "Stubborn is not good for you!" Although his voice was indifferent, it was more threatening than any other tone.

Xiao turned around and glared at Helian Junyan. "Helian Junyan! I... No, me! I want to leave the palace for a very simple reason. Do you have to be so narrow-minded that a pitiful woman like me would suffocate to death in such a deep palace? "

Helian Junyan frowned. In one hand, she held a black paper fan that seemed to be a weapon from who knows where. With the other hand behind her back, she walked step by step towards Xiao.

His cold and charming expression was still ice-cold. "This king is only doing this for the safety of His Majesty!"

Fuck safety! Xiao could not help but curse in her heart! She really wanted to lose her modesty, so she went up to Helian Junyan and grabbed her collar while cursing at him.

But... She still endured it! Who told her to be new! Otherwise, if she had been Empress from the start, Helian Junyan wouldn't have suppressed her so brazenly and brazenly!

Xiao narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth as she stared at Helian Junyan, "Your Highness!" May I ask if we, the emperor, can now command you to scram back to the Flame Heaven Palace and not stand in my way? "

"You can try." Helian Junyan's dark purple eyes shone with a deep coldness.

What do you mean she can try? From the looks of his eyes, it was obvious that if she dared to threaten him, he would definitely make her suffer.

"I'm not going to pass down the decree. It's exhausting to walk from my bedroom to the entrance!" Xiao turned around and walked back into the pavilion with quick steps. She sat down on the ground, then turned her head and glared at Helian Junyan who had turned around, "How about this, I don't give you an order, and you don't threaten me either! I've said it already, I just want to go out of the palace to play. If you don't 'trust' me, you can accompany me out! It was just a microcosm tour, there was no need to put on any airs! How about this? "

"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?" Helian Junyan suddenly laughed coldly and walked back to Xiao's side. She opened the fan in her hand and shook it leisurely in front of his chest.

"I was qualified, but unfortunately, I am nothing in your eyes! Why don't we just try to guess it? " Xiao rolled her eyes, and then grinned innocently: "We are guessing, if you lose to me, you have to let me out of the palace, and, you have to act as my follower, to protect my 'safety' at any time! How about it? Do you want to play? "

Helian Junyan didn't answer. She suddenly put away her fan and lowered her head to look at Xiao for a long time. A hint of playfulness gradually appeared on her cold face. She smiled and said, "Guess?"

"That's right!" Xiao raised her eyebrows and proudly looked at Helian Junyan's obviously wavering expression.

"Xiao'er, you've really changed so much that no one can tell whether your body is hiding another soul!" Helian Junyan sat down on the stone chair opposite Xiao and poured herself a glass of wine. She picked up the glass and played with it between her fingers. Even though there was a smile on her face, it caused Xiao to shudder.

He was indeed a dangerous opponent. Even with a faint smile, others could feel the coldness and danger exuding from his body.

Moreover, he seemed to already have too many doubts about himself!

Xiao straightened her expression, trying her best to ignore the indecisive look in his eyes. She raised her head to look at the sky, but said to Helian Junyan, "If you don't object, then I'll take it as your consent!"

Helian Junyan's eyes held traces of a faint smile. She quietly looked at Xiao's face as she looked up at the sky.

"Right, it won't be long until the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?" Xiao hadn't asked anything yet, but she had already turned her head to look at Helian Junyan, who was smiling at her.

Suddenly, Xiao noticed the faint smile on Helian Junyan's face. It was as if she was lost in thought. She was shocked. She stared blankly at Helian Junyan, her lips curving upward as she looked at her. She then let out a cold sigh.

Tsk, what are you pretending for! He had clearly been looking at her for a long time, but she was still able to smile so indifferently, as if she wasn't going to cut him! Seeing that Helian Junyan did not answer her earlier question, Xiao turned her head away and sighed. She then said in a clear voice, "In the world of lovebirds, butterfly is in love with flowers, I have thousands upon thousands of emotions. Who can I fuse with in this life? "Guess eight words!" Finished speaking, Xiao turned her head and smiled complacently.

He didn't expect Helian Junyan to be so calm as if she hadn't heard him. Xiao's face puffed up as she shouted angrily, "Hey! Did you listen to my riddles? "

Helian Junyan tilted her head and laughed coldly.

"Do you want to try it or not? If you don't, I won't play with you anymore! I can always think of a way to leave the palace! " Xiao stood up with a defeated look on her face and turned to leave.

"Birds sing in the fragrance of flowers, full moon in the middle of autumn." Helian Junyan suddenly said lightly.

Xiao's footsteps paused. She slowly turned her head and looked at Helian Junyan in disbelief. "You …?"

Helian Junyan had a helpless smile on her face as she gently waved her black fan in front of her chest.

Xiao pursed her lips and sat back down, unconvinced. She stared at Helian Junyan for a long time with her round, round eyes before glaring fiercely at Helian Junyan, who appeared to be indifferent.

Suddenly, a crafty smile appeared on Xiao's face. How could she have forgotten that playing guessing games with an ancient person like Helian Junyan, with his IQ, he would have definitely guessed it! But if you have a sharp brain...

Xiao suddenly raised her head and looked at Helian Junyan with a crafty look. In her heart, she chuckled to herself, "You're dead for sure!"

"Another one!" Xiao suddenly opened her mouth and said smugly, "When can I get water from the basket?"

Sure enough, Helian Junyan seemed to be deep in thought. Her brows were knitted and her eyes were downcast.

Xiao stood up proudly and walked back and forth in the verdant garden pavilion, waiting for Helian Junyan to dumbly say, "You can't get water from the bamboo basket." Then, she would be able to ruthlessly ridicule him!

Suddenly, Helian Junyan laughed out as well, and her eyes flickered with a bright light.

Xiao was stunned. She turned her head to look at the sharp smile on Helian Junyan's face and shivered all of a sudden. He shouldn't have guessed it, right? This kind of person from the 21st century could think of questions in his head. He, Helian Junyan...

"Go ask the palace maid to change your clothes. This King will be your follower for the day." Helian Junyan stood up with a faint smile on her face.

It took a long time for Xiao to regain her senses. Only when she saw the sliver of light in his eyes did she finally regain it.

He lost? He lost?

Xiao could not help but jump up, laughing loudly. Under Helian Junyan's smiling gaze, she turned around and ran back to her bedroom.

Helian Junyan probably felt that her outfit was too conspicuous. Xiao quickly went to ask Lan'er to help her find a light green silk dress.

When Xiao ran back to the pavilion, she saw that Helian Junyan had already changed into a simple black robe, looking mysterious and enchanting … Xiao walked quietly behind him. She wanted to scare him, but Helian Junyan suddenly turned around.

Two faces, four lips, just inches away from each other. It was as if the ambiguous feeling had returned.

Xiao was stunned. She raised her head and looked blankly at Helian Junyan, whose expression had also changed. She thought she would be able to control herself, but for some strange reason, she didn't want to move.

To be honest, she really liked the solemn yet charming aura of Helian Junyan. Who in the world wouldn't love a beautiful man? What's more, he was such a perfect man that others couldn't even look at …

Suddenly, Helian Junyan made a sneer. She raised her hand and gently pushed Xiao away, taking a step back herself. His eyes were calm, as if Xiao really wasn't able to attract him at all. He turned around and walked towards the palace gate with vigorous steps.

Xiao pouted, a trace of embarrassment on her face. Just as she was about to give chase, she suddenly saw an ice cube that was neither too big nor too small appear on the table of the verdant garden pavilion that the two of them were sitting on earlier.

Feeling embarrassed, Xiao turned around and glared at Helian Junyan, who had already walked away. Bastard! He had actually guessed it, and he was even trying to keep her in suspense. If he suddenly had the kind intentions of not giving her face, then he shouldn't let her see the ice, despicable person! Despicable! What a suspenseful villain!

Cursing in her heart, Xiao quickly caught up with them. Her eyes viciously stared at the black figure that was walking in front of her.

"Hey!" Xiao called out to Helian Junyan, who had been walking in front, and ran over to grab his arm. "Didn't you say you were going to play my follower? "Why are you walking in front of me?" With that, Xiao's hidden desire to be a good girl resurfaced. She pushed Helian Junyan away from him, turned around, and walked quickly to the front. With her back facing Helian Junyan, she swaggered away.

Helian Junyan sighed and smiled, but didn't say anything. It was just that he didn't like the feeling of looking at her back. Don't like it even more... Her eyes were full of her feelings...

Sensing the gaze behind her, Xiao's footsteps suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked at Helian Junyan doubtfully. Suddenly, he shouted in annoyance, "Helian …"

At that moment, Helian Junyan suddenly stepped forward and pressed Xiao's arm, preventing her from calling out his name.

Xiao was surprised for a moment, then looked up at Helian Junyan's raised eyebrows in confusion, "What are you doing? "I'm the master, and you're the follower. How could I be like you …"

"You can't call out my name in such a large crowd of people's street. Do you want everyone to know that the people standing with them right now are Xiling Kingdom's Her Majesty the Empress and Regent? Or do you want to be trampled over by these people? " Helian Junyan raised her eyebrows.

"Ugh …" That's right! Xiao inwardly stuck out her tongue as she turned to look in the direction of the crowd. "Where are all these people heading to?"

Helian Junyan raised her head and looked into the distance. She said lightly, "It is a sacrificial temple. During the harvest season, the people will go to the temple and burn incense to bless their harvest."

"That must be spectacular?" Xiao's eyes suddenly shone with a golden light. She turned around and was about to run over.

However, Helian Junyan stopped her in her tracks. She frowned as she looked at Xiao's pouting expression. "You're still a child after all!"

Xiao was stunned for a moment and immediately felt annoyed! It was rare for her to maintain her childishness. Although Helian Junyan said that she was childish, she was actually scolding her for being childish!

"Roar!" Yeah, how mature are you? You always look like a little old man, no wonder you're so old and still dare to talk about me! Furthermore, the person standing in front of you right now is only a fifteen-year-old girl. How mature do you think I am? Or do you want me to become mature enough to fight you? "

Helian Junyan's expression was cold as she glared at Xiao with her burning gaze.

Xiao pouted and retracted her arm helplessly. It was with great difficulty that she ran out of the palace to look at the scene outside the palace. She wanted to avoid messing up the atmosphere. Xiao walked up and grabbed Helian Junyan's arm, shaking it like a spoiled child, "Alright, alright, let's talk about this. Just treat you as my follower. Take me to the sacrificial temple to take a look after only one day!"

Looking at the woman who was coquettishly hugging his arm, Helian Junyan suddenly felt as if a lifetime had passed by. It seemed that it had been a long time … When he was very young, he had held his father's arm and shook it, begging for a wooden sword on the street …

It was a pity that his usually strict and ruthless father had never fulfilled any of his demands.

Yet, the little girl in front of him...

"Let's go." Suddenly, Helian Junyan raised her hand and patted Xiao's head. "I'll go with you."

Xiao immediately broke into a wide smile as she held Helian Junyan's hand, giggling as they walked towards the direction of the crowd.

"So lively!" Xiao looked at the people at the side of the sacrificial temple. She wanted to pull Helian Junyan into the temple, but Helian Junyan suddenly grabbed her with a warning look in her eyes.

Xiao was stunned. She raised her head to look at Helian Junyan's pair of dark purple eyes. Suddenly, she felt a surge of anger! From the looks of it, he seemed to be preventing her from escaping in the chaos!

Xiao flung Helian Junyan's hand away in annoyance and said angrily: "Do you want to come in with me? If you don't want to go in, then I'll go in myself! " As he spoke, he turned around and dived into the crowd.

Helian Junyan did not hold her back, as she would not be able to escape his sight. Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in front of her. Helian Junyan paused for a moment, then walked to the other side of the temple door and looked at Prime Minister Shangguan and Shangguan Jinxuan with a sneer.

Xiao did not expect the temple to have so many people. They were all squeezed to the point that they almost couldn't breathe. Finally, she ran to the large Buddha statue and raised her head to look at it.

From the looks of it, the Western Lion Country was really a rich country. Such a large Buddha statue seemed to be entirely gold!

After walking around for a long time, he thought to anger the self-assuming Helian Junyan. However, he suddenly remembered that the feeling of having him outside was very pitiful. Seeing that there was nothing fun here, he pouted his mouth and walked out.

Just as she walked out the door, she suddenly saw Helian Junyan together with Prime Minister Shangguan and the gentle and affectionate Shangguan Jinxuan. Xiao's eyes rolled as she looked at the temple door on the other side, then looked at Helian Junyan's back. With a sly smile, she turned around and quietly walked to the other side.

Seemingly sensing Xiao's crafty gaze just now, Helian Junyan turned her head to look at the petite figure escaping by the temple door on the other side. Immediately, she raised her eyebrows and turned her head to look coldly at Prime Minister Shangguan, who was in a cold confrontation with her.

Xiao turned her head and almost exclaimed out loud. How did he notice this so quickly? Oh no!

Xiao sighed as she bent over the crowd.

People said that it was hidden in the city. Amongst so many people, she was escaping while Helian Junyan was chasing after her. No matter how much time he had, he probably wouldn't be able to catch up!

Xiao ran forward aimlessly. At least she could get out of the confinement of Helian Junyan temporarily. After all, no matter how much fun she had, she wouldn't be happy under a pair of cold eyes full of surveillance. If Helian Junyan didn't want her to run, then she would run! She didn't believe it! Helian Junyan was not a deity!

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Xiao suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the unfamiliar scene in front of her. Where was this place?

In front of her was a cliff, with tall grass on the other two sides. Behind her was the path she had taken when she was running around.

Xiao's expression changed as she hurriedly turned around. However, when she was running back to a fork in the road, she suddenly lost her bearings.

"My god …" Xiao let out a long sigh. "Am I lost?"

Xiao raised her eyes and looked at the grass surrounding her. It looked exactly the same as the three paths in front of her. If she took the wrong path, then she would really be lost. Why was she so unlucky! Why did he suddenly run all the way to the top of the cliff?

Suddenly, the quiet underbrush started to rustle. Xiao's eyes were filled with a cautious aura as she looked at the patch of grass behind her.

The bloodstain on a blade of grass attracted Xiao's attention. She braced herself and told herself countless times that it was definitely not the snake she was most afraid of …

He gently pushed the bush aside with his hands and peeked inside with his big round eyes.

Suddenly, Xiao cried out in alarm and hurriedly waved away the grass on both sides of her sides before quickly walking in.

A boy who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old was lying inside with blood all over his body. Large amounts of blood was still flowing from his legs and abdomen.

Xiao walked up to him in a slight panic. When she saw that his chest was still heaving, she concluded that he was not dead. Only then did she have the courage to walk over.

"Hey!" Xiao walked forward and squatted down to look at the youth covered in blood. He seemed to have fainted from excessive blood loss! Xiao lightly waved her hand on his face, hoping to arouse his consciousness. However, he was actually still unconscious, not giving him any face at all.

"Wake up!" Hey! Your body is covered in blood, if you continue to lie unconscious here, you will die! " Xiao didn't dare to touch his blood, but he didn't have a clean spot to support her.

Xiao tried to cheer herself up as she stared fixedly at the young man for a long time. Even though his face was covered in blood, from the looks of it, he should be a pretty boy.

Xiao took a deep breath and reached out to grab his arm. She felt his whole body tremble in alarm when she touched him.

"Roar!" He was already injured to such an extent, yet he was actually on guard the moment he was touched! So powerful! " Xiao muttered as she helped him up and shook him a few times, "Hey, wake up! Hey! Wake up! Do you really want to die in this crappy place!? "

The boy suddenly frowned and his eyelids, which were covered in blood, twitched. He opened his eyes with some difficulty and looked at the woman who was holding him and shouting.

"How are you? It shouldn't be dead, right? " Seeing that he had woken up, Xiao's courage grew even greater. She used all her strength to support his body, hoping that he would be able to sit upright on his own.

The youth furrowed his brows. He wanted to say something to this rude woman, but he was powerless to do so.

"Ah!" Do you want some water? " Xiao suddenly grinned and looked at the teenager who had sat up. She remembered that in the past when she was watching television, the person who had been unconscious for a long time would wake up and directly ask for water. From the looks of it, this youth had been unconscious for a long time!

Confirming this point, Xiao suddenly raised her bloodied hand and patted the youth on the shoulder. "Wait a moment!" I'll help you find water! " She remembered that there was a shallow stream at the edge of the fork where she had been running. It was not obvious, but she did notice it.

The young man closed his eyes and panted heavily. When he opened his eyes once again to look at the woman who had just smiled brightly, she had already brought a large leaf from nowhere and stumbled over.

"Here, have some water!" Xiao grinned with a face full of kindness. She placed the big leaf filled with water in front of the youth and indicated for him to drink it.

The young man looked at the water in the leaf, and then looked at the smile on Xiao's face with caution.

"You can't be thinking that I want to poison you, right? "It's not like I know you …" Xiao pouted. She had good intentions in mind!

The teenager looked at the water in the leaves again. Without waiting for the woman to mutter something, he bent his head and drank a few mouthfuls.

He lowered his head and watched as the blood from the youth's mouth seeped into the water. Suddenly, he could not bear the sight, and seeing that Ye Wen had drank quite a bit, he threw Ye Wen to the side, then went up to help him up: "I might as well help you wash up by the stream over there. You seem to have a lot of wounds on your body, do you want me to take a look?"

The teenager was speechless as he stared at Xiao for a long time. Xiao thought that this brat's gaze was going to pierce through her and was annoyed. She pouted and said loudly, "I saved you out of good intentions. If you think I'm nosy, then I can just dump you here. Why are you staring at me?"

Unexpectedly, that youth unexpectedly pulled out a smile that was not a smile and nodded: "Thank you."

Roar! Fortunately, he still knew how to say thanks! Her heart was in equilibrium! Xiao pouted as she supported him up the stream with some difficulty.

Xiao supported the teenager and made him sit on the flat rock next to the stream. She tried to scoop up some water, but it felt too slow and impossible. Xiao pulled him closer to the stream and helped him lower his body before squatting beside him to wash his face.

"Ya?!" After washing his hands a few times, Xiao suddenly exclaimed and froze, staring at the young man in front of her.

The youth furrowed his brows as he looked at her bright, glass-like eyes that were about to have a red heart.

"Your face is so white and tender!" Xiao suddenly raised her hand and pinched the young man's baby face.

The youth's good-looking eyebrows were scrunched together, but when he saw the strange smile on the woman's face, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? " Xiao's eyes widened as she looked at the young man who was looking at her with a cautious face, "Aiya, I was just praising you! You don't have to thank me... "Come, let me help you take off your jacket and clean your wounds!" Xiao lowered her head with a bright smile on her face as she tore at the young man's blood-stained clothes.

Of course, she didn't see the motionless youth with the black hair all over his face …

"What's your name?" Xiao threw his clothes to the side and scrubbed the water on his body. Her hands gently let go of the horrifying sword wounds on the young man's body. She felt her heart ache. She didn't understand how such a young and tender handsome boy could have so many wounds. If he hadn't met her, would he really have died here alone?

"Xuan Ye." The young man lowered his head, quietly looking at Xiao's hand that was unconsciously stroking his chest.

"What?" Xuan Ye? You, Kang Xi, reincarnated? " Xiao suddenly asked in a daze.

Xuan Ye frowned. His bright eyes swept across Xiao's dazed and curious eyes.

"Ugh …" Xiao came back to her senses. Her small hands were still caressing his chest, but her eyes were looking at the young man's cute, baby-faced face once again. "I meant …" Oh, I was talking nonsense! Which Ye are you? "

"The night." The young man was not impatient, but he turned around and lowered his head to look at the woman's disorderly hands.

Sensing his gaze, Xiao finally understood where the strange emotions were coming from. She hurriedly retracted her hand, her face burning red as she wiped the water off his body. This time, she wasn't going to eat his tofu …

"I say, Xuan Ye, how old are you?" Xiao cleared her throat to break the sudden awkwardness. This brat didn't seem to have much to say, making her feel like she was being impatient.

"Nineteen." Xuan Ye still replied expressionlessly.

"Ugh …" Xiao was suddenly at a loss for words. She did not know how to ask him about other things, but after seeing that his wounds had been cleaned, she stood up and looked around at the bushes. "Do you know which herbs here are able to stop bleeding?" "I'll go gather them to help you …"

"There are two white porcelain bottles inside my clothes. The big one is filled with Gold Sore Medicine, and the small one is filled with Blood Replenishing Pills." The young man turned his head and looked at the woman who was standing not far away and looking into the grass.

"Huh?" Xiao thought for a moment, then turned her head to look at the blood-stained clothes. She ran to the clothes and searched for a while. Sure enough, she found two small white porcelain bottles.

"Come, come, let me help you put it on!" Xiao turned around and ran forward, pouring the powder from the big bottle onto Xuan Ye's bloody wounds. She tore off a few pieces of cloth on her skirt to help him bandage them, then took out a pill from the small bottle and put it in his mouth.

Xuan Ye looked down at the pills, then looked at the woman, who was sweating profusely. He looked at Xiao, then lowered his head and swallowed the pill. After that, he looked at Xiao.

"What for? Am I beautiful? " Xiao giggled. She lowered her head and looked at Xuan Ye, who was looking straight at her.

Xuan Ye retracted his gaze, but there was a hint of a suspicious blush on his face. Xiao looked and chuckled. This brat seems to like blushing a lot.

"Hello." Xiao squatted down to his side and looked at his white and tender baby face. However, her charming and handsome face was tainted with the coldness and decisiveness of a nineteen year old boy.

"Why are you hurt?" Xiao blinked in curiosity.

"Assassin, either killed or killed. Unfortunately, the only time in my life I lost was when my opponent was too unimaginable. In the end, because I failed the mission, I was killed by my lord and almost died under the cliff." While speaking about his life, Xuan Ye said it very simply. Looking at his expression, it looked like he had been abandoned.

Xiao could not help but feel sorry for Xuan Ye. She sat beside Xuan Ye and patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be sad. If it's just because you failed the mission that you are going to be killed, but at least you have survived! Look, you have stopped bleeding. As long as you continue to recuperate, you will definitely be able to be lively again! "

Xuan Ye was speechless and turned to look at Xiao.

Xiao said with a smile, "Really!"

Xuan Ye nodded, but Xiao couldn't see through his true thoughts.

"That... How old were you when you started being a killer? " This child was too pitiful, and his master was truly inhumane.

"Three years old, both father and mother died and were brought back by the Patriarch of the Profound Gate. From the moment he started being sensible, he had already learned how to kill." Xuan Ye suddenly smiled wryly.

Xiao lowered her head and thought for a long time. Finally, she said, "So, you feel like you've been abandoned, don't you?"

"No." Xuan Ye's eyes suddenly became sharp, "If I can continue to live under the hands of the assassins my master sent, then I can officially get rid of my Profound Gate and no longer have to do things that harm my own life."

It seemed like this kid had a lot of conscience! Xiao nodded affirmatively in her heart. Suddenly, she looked at him with a beaming smile. You can live a normal person's life in the future, right? "

Originally, Xuan Ye thought he would nod, but unexpectedly, he shook his head and said lightly: "It's not that simple!"

Just when Xiao wanted to continue asking, she suddenly felt the chilling murderous intent behind her. Xiao was shocked and turned her head to look at Xuan Ye's eyes that had turned cold at the same time.

Xiao trembled as she turned her head to look at the three men in black behind her. From the looks of it, they should be two men and one woman …

"The killers you're talking about are …" Xiao looked at Xuan Ye and then carefully pointed behind him.

Xuan Ye nodded and stood up.

Roar! He was able to stand up after just a short while. It shouldn't be possible for his injuries to heal so quickly, right? Xiao stood up with Xuan Ye in shock, looking at the three men in black with murderous intent all at once.

"You are innocent. If you want to run, then run along that road." Xuan Ye's eyes were cold and resolute. Even though his body was full of wounds, he still stood proudly by Xiao's side.

Xiao swallowed her saliva. She looked at Xuan Ye, who was only 19 years old and already had such a strong sense of responsibility, and was suddenly touched.

But no matter how much she wanted to shout out loud, she opened her mouth and whispered, "I also want to run, but that road …" Xiao turned around and pointed at the men in black clothing at each of the three crossroads.

Xuan Ye suddenly squinted his eyes and turned around to look at Xiao, who pouted with a wronged expression. He suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

"Ugh …" "What?" Xiao was stunned. She turned her head to look at Xuan Ye's black eyes and said, "Ah, that, my name is Xiao!"

Roar! The two of them were really funny! The killer in front of them was like a wolf and tiger, and behind them was a small stream and a tall cliff.

After asking for her name, Xuan Ye suddenly rushed forward in surprise.

Xiao was shocked. She looked at the figure who was covered in wounds and was fighting with the men in black. A young killer with a baby face like that … He was just trying to be brave!

"Xuan Ye …" Xiao frowned as she looked at the young man who only suffered a few more injuries in a short while. Her heart throbbed in pain.

He became a killer when he was three years old, and now that he has survived for more than ten years, it means that his previous missions were successful. But just because he had failed the mission once, would he really die? Profound Gate? Just how heartless and heartless was that place …

Xiao sniffed with her nose and turned around to look at the stones on the ground. She suddenly picked up a pile of them and aimed at the heads of those who were fighting with Xuan Ye. With a few sounds, all the rocks fell to the ground.

Xiao was displeased and shouted angrily, "Damn it, my throwing technique is declining!"

One sentence, it attracted the attention of the men in black. Originally, they thought that Xuan Ye would be able to kill him easily after getting heavily injured, but they didn't expect that his wounds were bleeding again and he was still able to retreat.

"Go kill that woman!" Someone suddenly whispered.

Xuan Ye's expression changed slightly. He suddenly turned around and looked worriedly at Xiao, who was standing there foolishly.

Noticing that everyone was looking at her, Xiao was taken aback. With an embarrassed smile, she asked, "Why are you looking at me …"

Two men in black suddenly jumped towards Xiao.

Xiao was stunned, while Xuan Ye's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He was already holding on, how could he still protect her? Helpless, Xuan Ye gritted his teeth, waved away the long saber in front of him, turned around and charged towards Xiao at his fastest speed.

It's over, it's all over, I'm about to die … Xiao stared blankly at the long sword that the man in black had stabbed at her.

Xuan Ye rushed towards the man in black who was about to kill Xiao, but suddenly, someone jumped out from behind and kicked the acupoint on his back. Xuan Ye's severely injured body seemed to have lost all of its strength as he fell towards the cliff behind Xiao.

"Xuan Ye!" Xiao's eyes suddenly widened as she turned her head to look at the falling figure in fright.

"Ah …" Suddenly, the sound of a sword stabbing into flesh could be heard. Xiao felt a sharp pain on her shoulder, and her body nearly lost all its weight as she fell along with Xuan Ye.

Xiao gritted her teeth and her legs softened. Lowering his head to look at the bloodstain on his shoulder, his vision blurred and he almost fell down.

Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing could be heard from behind her. Xiao could no longer look and could only lie on the edge of the cliff as she watched Xuan Ye's disappearing figure.

That pitiful youth … He … Will he really die? Xiao cried out softly. She wanted to call out Xuan Ye's name, but the pain on her shoulder almost made her scream out loud.

Xiao didn't know how much time had passed, but she felt that it had become quiet behind her and someone had picked her up.

Xiao's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Helian Junyan, who had finally found her. She suddenly rejoiced that he had found her, or else, she would really be dead.

Helian Junyan frowned as she carried Xiao in her arms. Looking at the sword wound on her shoulder, a cold killing intent suddenly burst forth from her eyes. Xiao didn't understand. She opened her mouth, but was powerless to say anything. She could only see Helian Junyan suddenly kick a sword at her feet, and the sword flew to the side, groaning in pain. The killer who had just injured her. The long sword disappeared into his body. In just a split-second, another person had died here.

Helian Junyan lowered her head and poked a few of Xiao's major acupoints, stopping the blood from flowing out of her shoulder.

"The price for disobedience is sometimes more serious than you can imagine!" Helian Junyan raised her eyebrows, but the strength of her arms gradually lightened as she hugged Xiao. She did not want her to feel any more pain.

Xiao stared blankly at the icy cold expression on Helian Junyan's face. Suddenly, she felt that the bone-chilling coldness on Helian Junyan's face warmed her up.

Surprisingly, Xiao retracted her head into Helian Junyan's arms and stopped resisting. Her consciousness gradually became blurred. However, Xuan Ye's delicate and childish face still made her sigh faintly before she fainted.

Seeing that the person in her arms had fainted, Helian Junyan hugged her lithe body steadily and turned around to look at the assassins who had turned into corpses. Her eyes were cold as she hugged Xiao and left the cliff.

"Ugh …" "So painful …" Xiao's consciousness was immersed in the darkness. She unconsciously laid on the bed and moaned softly.

Lan'er, who was serving at the side, looked worriedly at Xiao, who was sweating profusely. However, because Helian Junyan was sitting on the edge of the bed, she didn't dare to go over to take a look.

"Your Highness, His Majesty …"

"Go and change a basin of cold water." Without waiting for Lan'er to finish her questions, Helian Junyan suddenly said in an indifferent tone.

"Oh, yes." Lan'er pouted, but she didn't dare to disobey Regent's order. She could only take a look at Empress, who had been burning up ever since Helian Junyan carried her last night.

Lan'er walked out with the water that she just changed two hours ago. Helian Junyan continued to look at Xiao, who seemed to be in a dream. She frowned slightly and touched her forehead to feel the astonishing heat and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh …" "Pain, pain …" Xiao unconsciously twisted her body. The pain on her shoulder made her body ache, but she didn't wake up.

Helian Junyan looked at the wound on her shoulder. The man in black had almost pierced through her shoulder. It would be weird if she didn't feel pain!

Helpless, Helian Junyan raised her hand and gently rubbed the side of her wound a few times, hoping to relieve the unbearable pain. The imperial physician had already treated her wounds, but with her weak body, even if she woke up, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed for at least ten to fifteen days.

He really should not have cared about her. He could not bear to have her leave the palace once, but she had actually disobeyed him and ran away. If he had seen that she had fainted due to injuries, he might have broken her neck. He really wanted to suspect this fifteen-year-old child in front of him … At the very least, she was still a child in his eyes. What was she thinking now?

"Your Highness …" Lan'er brought in the fresh cold water and put it aside. She wet a clean cloth that she had just brought in. Then, she turned around and was about to change the cloth on Xiao's forehead.

Helian Junyan held onto Lan'er's arm and took the cloth from her. She personally helped Xiao change out of the cloth.

Lan'er stood dumbly to the side. She looked at Helian Junyan who seemed to have suddenly become concerned about Empress with a puzzled expression. What was going on? His Majesty The Regent was actually willing to take care of His Majesty personally...

"Go get the imperial physician to fry the medicine and bring it over." Helian Junyan spoke directly to Lan'er without even turning her head.

"Yes." Lan'er pursed her lips, turned around and obediently ran out.

Helian Junyan threw the cloth to the side and pulled Xiao's blanket a little bit more forward. Xiao seemed to sense something and wrinkled her nose uncomfortably.

Helian Junyan paused before lowering her head to look at Xiao's eyes, which had slowly opened up.

"Ugh …" Xiao pouted, her mind still wandering.

Xiao opened her eyes, and her vision went from blurry to clear. Suddenly, she saw Helian Junyan sitting on the bed, staring at her with an expressionless face. Xiao was suddenly startled, and cried out as she tried to sit up.

"Ah!" "Heavens …" Xiao suddenly cried out in pain.

Helian Junyan didn't reach out to help her up. Since she was awake, she was no longer in danger. She could rest for a few more days, and there was no need to worry.

Seeing the tears in Xiao's eyes, Helian Junyan frowned. She took the cloth from Xiao's head, put it back on Xiao's forehead, and pressed down her body to prevent Xiao from moving.

"Ugh …" "You …" Xiao recalled the scene at the edge of the cliff yesterday. She raised her head to look at Helian Junyan with an uneasy and cold expression.

Yesterday, she was at fault, so she insisted on running away. In the end, she even almost lost her life. If it wasn't for him saving her, she would have gone to see Hades again.

"How is it?" Helian Junyan suddenly sneered at the woman who had an uncomfortable look on her face. "The feeling of escaping is very comfortable? My noble Her Majesty the Empress? "

Xiao bit her lips and turned her head away, not saying a word. Roar, as if he was talking about her being a troublemaker. Initially, there was still a little bit of guilt in her heart, but looking at Helian Junyan's current expression, she really wanted to open her mouth and scold him.

"I was just a little mischievous and did it myself …" She was finding excuses for herself.

"Are they being naughty or are they just trying to resist?" Helian Junyan slowly raised her hand and gently rubbed against Xiao's pale face, which had become pale due to the excessive loss of blood. It caused Xiao's entire body to tremble.

Xiao turned around and looked at Helian Junyan: "His Majesty The Regent, I thank you for saving me, but you didn't let me die just like that! If you think I've offended you in any way, or if you doubt me, you can ask me in the open. Don't talk to me about things with hidden meanings, this is not how guessing games are played! Furthermore, in your eyes, is a fifteen-year-old girl worth your guard against? "

"The Ling Xiao'er of the past is unworthy of This King's guard." Helian Junyan retracted her hand and smirked coldly. "However, the Ling Xiao'er now... I'm afraid it's not that simple. " Helian Junyan gave Xiao a thoughtful look as she spoke.

Xiao trembled. Roar! She was currently very weak, alright? She really couldn't treat him as someone who had good intentions. It was likely that Helian Junyan and Helian Junyan wouldn't care about her for the rest of their lives! Unless it was in the interest of him, unless he felt that he should care for her, she must have thought too highly of him.

"I'm tired, I want to rest! I will have to trouble you to leave, Your Highness. I do not need you to take care of me! " Xiao rolled her eyes and pulled up her blanket to cover her head.

Helian Junyan didn't force her to explain the reason for her escape. She looked at her body covered by the blanket and a trace of an evil smile appeared on her face. She then left the bedside and her sleeping quarters.
