"Mo'er …" Prince Huan's face was filled with anger as he prepared to enter. However, when he saw the situation inside, he couldn't muster up any anger. Tears and blood covered his eyes as his body unconsciously moved. His voice was intermittent. It was clear that he was having a terrible dream, fragile and sad. Lu Sobbing lay on Xue Yi's body. It was unknown if she was suppressing his movements, or if she was already unable to rely on her own strength to stand firm. Blood was already seeping out of the thick white cloth on his left wrist, but he was unaware of it. His gaze was helpless and filled with pity as he looked at the blood and tears, continuously comforting his unconscious brother. As for Zhao Qingyan, he sat to the side and circulated his Qi. His tightly knitted eyebrows showed just how much he had suffered.

"Wa — —!" Zhao Qingyan spat out a mouthful of black and red blood. He almost fell off the short cliff.

Lu Sobbing quickly turned around and exclaimed, "Yun Mo!"

Zhao Qingyan leisurely took out a handkerchief from his chest and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He casually said, "Don't worry about me. I'm perfectly fine." His gaze landed on King Huan and he smiled bitterly, "I didn't do it on purpose."

The bit of anger that Duke Huan had in his heart had already dissipated long ago. He could only sigh and say, "I know."

Zhao Qingyan reached into his robes again and took out a few medicine bottles. He placed a handful of medicine into his mouth and chewed it dry before asking, "How is Xia Fan? I didn't hit him very hard, but I didn't know he couldn't help but hit me. "

Duke Huan sighed a long time before he asked, "Who did you use to say that you couldn't even fight back?"

Zhao Qingyan looked at his hand and said, "I wanted to send him flying far away so that he wouldn't bother me, but he seems to be vomiting blood."

Duke Huan continued to sigh, "He flew out thirty feet, yet you still hit his chest. How could he not vomit blood?"

Zhao Qingyan recalled and suddenly said, "I was thinking about it." After I hit him, there was a backlash from his internal energy, which was why he was in such a sorry state. I originally wanted to send him out with my inner force. I was basically caught off guard and fell, so I wouldn't vomit blood. "

Prince Huan asked, "What did you say? Inner strength recoil? "

Zhao Qingyan said in a daze, "It should be, right? I was in a hurry so I didn't pay attention to it. Now that I think about it, there was indeed inner force rushing into my palm. My inner force was a little messed up and I almost fell down. "

Prince Huan had already found out about the situation from the guards watching from the sidelines, but he was not in the mood to pay attention to him. He hastily asked, "You didn't disrupt your internal energy yourself?"

Zhao Qingyan did not seem to notice the change in his expression, "How is that possible? Even if I neglect training, for the sake of walking and protecting my life, I have put in a lot of effort to control my inner force. If it was so easy for me to break my own inner force, then forget about walking, just the inner force alone is enough for me to die hundreds of times. "

Duke Huan's face slightly darkened, "Mo'er, do you know what it means to use inner force to hedge?"

Zhao Qingyan was stunned, "What do you mean? Wasn't it when someone used inner force to hit you, that you would be able to protect yourself or counterattack? Thirteenth Uncle, I really used my inner force to send him out so that I could teach him to open up a path. You know, my internal energy is all used for healing, and it's also very gentle. Even if his internal energy rebound would cause my internal energy to become a bit violent, it wouldn't hurt him much. "

Duke Huan sighed, "You sure are confident."

Zhao Qingyan asked, "What happened exactly? I really do feel that he's too fierce without getting hurt, there's definitely no way that he could have gotten hidden injuries. "

Prince Huan said, "The hidden injuries definitely won't stay, but he won't be able to get out of bed for at least a month. If the Cyan Robed Mages do anything during this month, no one will take his place."

Zhao Qingyan did not care and said, "Let's not talk about whether the Cyan Robed Pirates will make any moves this month. Even if they do, he will not be able to catch them if he is not injured. He made me cry like this, and I slapped him until he was even. "

Duke Huan said in amusement, "It's even? Did you do that? If everyone does what you do, the imperial palace will be in for a beating. "

Zhao Qingyan said, "Not really."

Duke Huai could only helplessly reply, "Luckily I was forced by Imperial Brother to add ten guards to capture the Cyan Robed Pirates. In the end, Xia Fan was injured by you and we will have to delay it again."

Upon hearing Prince Huan's words, Lu Sobbing seemed to freeze for a moment, but she did not have any other reactions. She wiped the sweat off her forehead with her blood and tears. Zhao Qingyan also glanced at Lu Sobbing, "It's just chaos when you care."

Duke Huan only thought that Lu Li was looking at his blood and tears, so he didn't mind. He stretched out his hand to stroke Lu Li's hair, "It's a good thing you came over. Otherwise, with Xue Yi's personality and habits, it would be unknown how long it would take before she found out that he had an illness."

Zhao Qingyan nodded her head and looked at Lu Sobbing and Xue Yi, who were not far away. She suddenly asked, "Thirteenth Uncle, now that the matter with the Puppet Palace has been resolved, can you let Xue Yi leave?"

Duke Huan was slightly taken aback, "Why did you mention this? It was you three who asked him to stay in the inner palace, right? "

Zhao Qingyan said, "I've changed the request. They've changed it as well. Thirteenth Uncle, please agree!"

Duke Huan looked at his half-playful, half-roguish, half-pleading look, and laughed, "Alright, the matter of the Puppet Palace is over, at least we have an excuse."

Zhao Qingyan smiled. "Thank you, Thirteenth Uncle."

Prince Huan said, "You're welcome. As long as you're safe."

Zhao Qingyan stood up. "Then I'll have to trouble Thirteenth Uncle to clean up the mess. I'll head back with them first."

Prince Huan asked, "Aren't you going to rest for a while?"

Lu Sobbing heard their conversation, stood up and let out a light breath, "No need, I will also give you trouble here. Let me bring him back to his cell."

Seeing that Prince Huan was about to speak, Zhao Qingyan spoke first, "Thirteenth Uncle, there's no need to worry about my health. I'm fine. I'll stay with Tears of Lü and Tears of Blood for a while, and then I'll come back to find Thirteenth Uncle. "

Duke Huan could only nod and allow him to leave.

Seeing that tears and blood were quietly falling asleep, Lu Qi stood up from the bed and walked to Zhao Qingyan's side. "Thank you."

Zhao Qingyan took a sip of water and said calmly, "You are welcome."

After a moment of silence, she said, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Qingyan was stunned and could not help raising his head to look at him, "What's wrong?"

Lu Sobbing looked at his pale face with an apologetic look, "If it weren't for the tears of blood, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

Zhao Qingyan said, "Oh, then we should apologize to Tears of Blood. You don't need it. It was just a mouthful of blood, so he was already used to it. Besides, I was the one who wanted to bring you here to see Tears of Blood, and it ended up like this. I also want to apologize to you. "

Lu Sobbing smiled. She knew he didn't want her to apologize, so she didn't say anything more and quietly drank the tea that didn't taste good. Zhao Qingyan seemed to be a little tired, so she put down her tea bowl and laid her head on the table. She laid her head on her arms and looked at Tears of Blood without moving.

"Did you do it on purpose?" As the bowl of water was poured down, Lü cried out again, her voice sounding extremely hollow in the three-man cell.

Zhao Qingyan turned her head to look at him and immediately understood what he meant. "If I say no, would you believe me?"

Lu Sobbing smiled, "Thank you very much."

Zhao Qingyan sighed and said, "Don't thank me. I was just feeling anxious. I saw vigilance in his eyes and knew that he would not let me slap him without resisting. Thus, I purposely revealed an aura of inner force — a very strong aura, one that was enough to threaten his life. He also said a few more words to give Shi Yan time to condense his inner Qi so that he wouldn't really hurt him. You also heard Han Yan's words, he couldn't get rid of the blame for the bloody tears, so I just punished him for it. "Moreover …"

"You can't kill him?" Lu Sobbing asked.

Zhao Qingyan answered vaguely, "Probably."

Lu Sobbing knew that he did not want to bring up the matter, so she did not force him. "To be honest, I did not expect you to make a move against me. I thought you were the one who couldn't hold it in and wanted to get rid of him. "

Zhao Qingyan threw up his hands. "It's not like he did anything bad. He got rid of him just because he was in my way …" How is that possible? Furthermore, even if I do have such thoughts, I wouldn't dare to act against him so brazenly, right? "

Lu Sobbing praised, "I believe that."

Zhao Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. "Do I look like such a despicable person?"

"No," said Lu Sobbing, "I have treated the prince with the heart of a lowly person. After all, I remember someone saying not long ago that he was afraid he would accidentally hurt a guy called Chai Pai. Who knows if you've made a mistake today? "

Zhao Qingyan thought back to it and said, "Oh, it seems to be true."

Lu Sobbing proudly asked, "Is that so?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled and said, "If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten."

Lu Sobbing pretended to lament. "Two days ago, someone told me to take the fly away, but before I could leave, that person killed the fly himself. How could I endure this?"

Zhao Qingyan asked, "What does that mean?"

Lu Sobbing said, "Qingyan."

Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a moment before he asked, "Huh?"

Weeping Lu was also stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "The priority is to be gentle."

Zhao Qingyan facepalmed, "It's like this again."

Lu Sobbing asked curiously, "Again?"

Zhao Qingyan told the story of how Jiang Wuyan and Jiang Wuyan had disgraced each other the day before with a helpless look on his face.

Lu Sobbing said, "So the way I address you with 'respect' is a very sensible thing to do. Otherwise, how embarrassing would it be?"

Zhao Qingyan smiled bitterly and said, "Speaking of which, it seems like only my Master would call me that. I've gotten used to it over time, so I didn't feel anything strange about it."

Lu Sobbing laughed, "That's because you always say that. You don't care about people calling you that anymore."

Zhao Qingyan was already exhausted and did not want to talk much more. She stood up and said, "Accompany him. Let him eat when he wakes up. "I'll look for Thirteenth Uncle to deal with the matter of Xia Fan. I'll go back to the palace later. If there's anything else, you can ask Hao Wen to tell me."

Lu Sobbing also knew that his body wouldn't be able to hold on any longer, so she nodded and said, "You can go. Don't worry about the tears and the blood."

Zhao Qingyan took another look at his Bloody Tears. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she pushed the door open and walked out.

Han Yan was waiting for Zhao Qingyan not far away. When he saw him come out, he quickly came up to him with a face full of apprehension. "I'm sorry."

Zhao Qingyan asked, "Because of the blood tears?" Didn't I say that it doesn't matter? "He has that kind of personality. It's normal for you to not realize that he didn't even notice the illness."

Han Yan said, "Not this. The young prince had already asked Chen Huayi to tell me to pay attention to Xia Fan. In the end, I still didn't notice. "

"Chen Huayi?" Zhao Qingyan was stunned, then smiled bitterly, "Well, I think I know what happened. This matter shall be as it is, it is already over. "

Han Yan probed, "Are you angry, young prince?"

Zhao Qingyan's expression turned serious. "Do I look angry to you?"

Han Yan laughed with relief. "I don't think so."

Zhao Qingyan laughed, "That's right. How can I be so easily angered? I'm going, you're busy. " He waved his hand and left.
