Seeing that the fellow he had pushed aside had his head lowered without a sound, Zhao Qingyan asked in a more serious tone, "Chen Huayi, I'm asking you a question. Are you tired of living?"

Before Chen Huayi could say anything, Ran Hao who kept his sword knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, "This subordinate has failed his duty, Young Master, please mete out a heavy punishment." His reaction was already very fast. However, if it wasn't for Chen Huayi not injuring Zhao Qingyan's mind, he probably would not have made it in time.

As soon as Ran Hao knelt down, the rest of the people also reacted, all of them kneeled down together, begging for forgiveness.

Zhao Baiyi looked at them, still shaken. He asked with a trembling voice, "What are you guys doing? With so many people standing there, what are they doing? "

How could they dare to speak? He could only beg for punishment once more and heavily kowtow.

Obviously, Zhao Baiyi was quite shocked. His anger did not subside as he kicked the guard at his feet fiercely and scolded, "What are twenty big living people doing? "Trash, a bunch of trash!"

The guard who had been kicked tilted his body, not daring to make a sound. He lowered his head, kneeled, and said, "This subordinate deserves to die."

A trace of a smile flashed through Jiang Wuyan's eyes. She sat by the side and watched them leisurely without uttering a single word. If one were to pay more attention, they would notice that his gaze was not focused on Zhao Boyi or Zhao Qingyan. Instead, it was directed towards the kneeling Han Li in the corner.

From the moment he finished listening to Han Yan's story of the martial arts world, he was filled with interest towards this unremarkable guard. The guard who had piqued his interest had noticed Chen Huayi's intrusion at the same time as Ran Hao. What was even weirder was that even though he had clearly discovered it, he did not move an inch.

If it were not for the fact that all of his attention was focused on him, Chen Huayi would not have had the chance to approach Zhao Qingyan.

"Second brother, calm down." Zhao Qingyan stood up and tidied up his messy robe. He took off his crooked hat and held it in his hand. He looked around at the guards who did not dare to lift their heads and sighed. "All of you, stand up. You are not guilty."

"Your subordinate has failed in his duty and deserves to die ten thousand times. Your highness, please punish me."

Zhao Qingyan was clearly angry as well, but she did not express it. Instead, she extended her hand to stop Zhao Baiyi from kicking him, and said lightly: "That's enough, I already said that you guys are innocent. You don't have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness. After the punishment, you can calculate again. Now, all of you are considered innocent.

"Thank you, Prince."

Zhao Qingyan turned around and looked at Ran Hao who was still standing there motionlessly, "Kneel down and wait for me to calm down." Whirlwind sat back down.

When Chen Huayi, who was about to stand up again, heard this, he immediately kneeled back down.

"Chen Huayi, get up." Zhao Qingyan said in a weak voice while pinching her forehead.

Chen Huayi said in shock, "I …" He didn't know what to say or do.

Zhao Qingyan glanced at him and shook his head, "You … I told you not to be too reckless. Something bad is going to happen eventually. Get up, I just rebuked you not blame you pounce on me. I'm telling you to be more careful, if I say it a little later, the sword in your neck will be cut off. "

Chen Huayi hesitated for a moment before standing up and saying in a low voice, "I never expected things to turn out like this."

Zhao Qingyan sighed and asked, "Tell me, why are you here?" Also, why were you screaming so miserably just now? "

Chen Huayi turned his head to look outside and made sure that no one had noticed the farce here, before whispering, "Young Prince injured Xia Fan, he's only just recovered from his injuries. It just so happens that I don't have any duties on hand, so my lord let me follow Xia Fan to take charge of the Cyan Robed Pirates, and we can talk about it after he recovers from his injuries. "

Looking at his pitiful appearance, Zhao Qingyan could finally understand why he was making such a fuss out of it. "Xia Fan came as well?"

Chen Huayi said with a bitter face, "Isn't it so? I thought it would be fine to follow Xia Fan for a month, but who would have thought that I would meet the Cyan Robes and send a letter to provoke them? Let me and Chai Fan together, how can I do that? "

Zhao Qingyan looked at him with a faint smile, "Of course."

When others heard this, they naturally thought that it was Zhao Qingyan who was angered by what happened just now. However, Chen Huayi understood what he meant and dryly laughed a few times. "Young Prince, don't be so heartless. Can you help me this time?"

"Help you?" Zhao Qingyan pointed at his nose and coldly snorted, "Last time, you injured Xia Fan with the help of my hand and even made me avenge you. I have yet to settle this matter with you." You still want me to help you? Don't even think about it! "

Chen Huayi sniffed. "Young Prince, please help me. I was wrong about what happened last time. I'll accept whatever punishment you give me, as long as you don't let me stay with Xia Fan. "

Zhao Qingyan snappily replied, "I can't help you. Thirteenth Uncle gave you the order, but it wasn't my intention. Don't look for me."

Chen Huayi, who had just gotten into trouble and had forgotten about it, said with a smile, "Young Prince is a secret envoy, how can I not help? It's just a matter of words, Young Marquis, so please help me. "

Zhao Qingyan glanced at him and asked coldly, "Then do you know that I am a secret envoy? Where did you go when I got scolded by Thirteenth Uncle? If you hide and don't see me, do you think I can spare you? "

Zhao Baiyi was confused. He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Qingyan pointed at Chen Huayi and said, "I don't know what he said to Xia Fan, but he lured him over to Tears of Blood for questioning. Tears of Blood's personality was also a person who couldn't speak properly, and with just a few words it angered Xia Chenchen. "Xia Fan injured his bloody eyes. I definitely won't let him go so easily. Didn't I fulfill his wish?"

Chen Huayi exclaimed, "Ah, the young prince is perceptive. That was an accident. How can you blame me?"

"An accident?" Zhao Qingyan gave an exaggerated sneer, "Do you think I'm stupid? Why did you tell Han Zhong that I wanted him to watch out for Chai Cha? "

Chen Huayi's smile stiffened as he looked sideways at Han Yan, using his mouth to silently ask, "You said it already?"

Han Yan waved his hand and replied back silently, "Who knows what you're going to do. I'll say it for sure."

Zhao Qingyan glared at Chen Huayi and said, "Honestly, did you do something behind my back that day as well?"

Chen Huayi hurriedly swore, "No, definitely not, absolutely not!" Obviously, he wouldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death.

Zhao Qingyan said lightly, "Oh. Xia Fan is still waiting for you outside. Go quickly."

Chen Huayi cautiously asked, "Can I stay here for a while?"

Zhao Qingyan smirked at him and nodded seriously, "Sure, but I can't promise that I won't beat you up."

Chen Huayi was dazed for a moment, then coughed dryly and said, "I think it's better if I leave."

Zhao Qingyan frowned, "Scram!"

Chen Huayi asked, "Then I'll scram. Young Prince, please calm down."

Han Yan couldn't stand watching. "If you want to leave, then leave quickly. Stop talking nonsense." Chen Huayi gave him a look of disdain before quickly leaving.

"Yun Mo?" Jiang Wuyan woke up the dazed Zhao Qingyan and reminded her, "Hao is still kneeling. Don't you think it's time for him to get up?"

Zhao Qingyan slowly nodded, hinting for Ran Hao to stand up and then asked, "Jiang Wuyan, what do you think about Chen Huayi's martial arts … How is it compared to yours? "

Jiang Wuyan looked at the gap in the screen that was almost blocked by the guards, and said with a heavy voice, "If he ambushed me, I'd lose five times, and win five."

"This guy." Zhao Qingyan felt a headache coming on as she patted her head, "If he doesn't hold back, the inner court will not be able to tolerate him."

Han Yan suddenly said, "As long as Young Prince is willing, he will definitely stay in the inner palace safely."

When Zhao Qingyan heard this, he glanced at Han Yan. It was unknown if he took it in. After pondering for a moment, Zhao Qingyan looked towards Ran Hao who was standing beside him and said, "Go back and spar with him. I want to see how strong he is."

Ran Hao acknowledged and continued to stand there like a statue, not saying a word.

Bai Ju saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and said: "It's about time, and the singing and dancing is about to begin. Yun Yi, you two are here, how about I go outside and arrange a seat for them? If we wait any longer, I'm afraid the better seats will be filled. "

Zhao Baiyi glanced at Zhao Qingyan. Seeing that he did not say anything, he nodded and said, "Sorry to trouble you."

Bai Zhen pointed to the pavilion across the street and said, "I'll be over there. Just come find me anytime if you need anything."

Zhao Baiyi nodded, "Then you can go back to your work. There's no need to accompany us anymore."

Bai Zhen cupped his hands together, "Then let's organize our emotions and not disturb our singing and dancing for a while. "Today will be a wonderful day. If we miss it, it will be a pity."

Zhao Qingyan smiled, "Don't worry, Master Bai. It is just a small episode. It is harmless." Since you're here, how can you not enjoy it? "

Bai Ju replied with a word of agreement, then left, putting the screen and bead curtain back in place before he left.

The only ones left in the room were the silent Ran Hao and the leisurely sipping of tea, Jiang Wuyan who didn't seem to have anything to do with him. Zhao Baiyi no longer hid himself and asked, "Seventh Brother, why don't you make me angry?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head. "If it wasn't for Chen Huayi just joking around, they would not have been able to discover him. Since their abilities cannot discover Chen Huayi, what's the point in getting angry again? "

Zhao Baiyi frowned, "How is that possible? "Chen Chengyi is only twenty-two, how could he be that powerful?"

Zhao Qingyan raised her eyes, her gaze cold, "It's not that he's powerful, it's just that his ability to hide his aura and his footwork has already been practiced to the peak of perfection."

Zhao Baiyi asked, "Didn't you say even Lord Jiang said he would win five rounds?"

Zhao Qingyan shot a glance at Jiang Wuyan, "He said it was a sneak attack. Plus, he humbled himself. Chen Huayi is not that powerful. If it were not to accompany me, there would not be many people who would be able to get close to Jiang Wuyan. "

Zhao Baiyi frowned, "Isn't Chen Huayi too strong? His skill must be one of the top ten in the whole country, right? " Although his martial arts were not that high, he was still a Young General of the Seven Deadly Army, and he had good judgement.

Zhao Qingyan said, "I won't be able to make it into the top ten, but I'm afraid I'll be able to make it into the top fifteen." Pausing, he continued, "I know what second brother means. Back then, when he had entered the inner court, his martial arts had been very strong. For this reason, Thirteenth Uncle had specially checked his identity. There was nothing special about him. There's no problem with his identity. I'm just worried that if he continues to run errands like this, something might happen to him. "

Zhao Baiyi asked, "He entered the inner palace five years ago, when he was seventeen. How strong was he back then? "

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, "I don't know. At that time, I was practicing martial arts with my master at Green Hill. I just heard that he was good at it." I knew him two years later, when he was to become an undersecretary. "At that time, Hao Yun didn't use any weapons, he was basically able to fight Hao Luo to a draw."

Zhao Baiyi asked, "Aren't you worried that a young expert like him would have other intentions after staying in the inner court for five years?"

Zhao Qingyan shook his head, "I know why he stayed, but he wants me to keep it a secret. Well, don't worry so much, Brother. Didn't Master Bai say he was going to start? Watch the songs and dance, and don't talk about nonsense. "

Zhao Baiyi could hear the perfunctory tone in his words, but he did not ask any further. He just nodded and stopped asking.
