There was only one person in the room, and he remained motionless from beginning to end, as if he had turned a blind eye to Li Yunxi's arrival.

That is Rong Chen.

Li Yunxi walked up to him, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile.

"It looks like your injury has healed a lot."

Rong Chen looked up at Li Yunxi with hostility in his eyes.

Li Yunxi didn't mind, still smiling.

"You can't stay here any longer. How about I give you some silver and send you out of Bianjing?"

Naturally, Rong Chen didn't believe Li Yunxi and remained silent.

Shen Qin stepped forward to persuade him,

"Your Highness, he still can't do strenuous activities now..."

Li Yunxi interrupted him seriously,

"Sir, you and I can take a step to talk."

……

……

The two of them arrived in the side room.

Shen Qin cleared his throat. From now on, he had been pressing the Lieque point on his wrist with his fingers to suppress his cough.

Li Yunxi looked at him with worry in his eyes.

"Sir, his face looks bad and his speech is hoarse. Are you sick?"

He touched Shen Qin's hand again,

"It's cold."

Shen Qin didn't hide it anymore, couldn't help coughing twice, and then stepped back.

"I have some external infection. Your Highness should stay away from me, otherwise you will be infected."

Seeing that the room was empty except for the bed, Li Yunxi shouted loudly to Liu Qingyan who was guarding the door.

"Move two stools and get a charcoal basin."

Liu Qingyan quickly brought the things in, Li Yunxi placed the stool very close, and then called to Shen Qin,

"Come, sit opposite me."

There was no fire in the side room and it was very cold. Shen Qin stood far away from Li Yunxi, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeves. Her cough became more serious. She did not move after hearing Li Yunxi's words.

"You are such a stubborn guy, is my body so fragile?"

Li Yunxi wrapped Shen Qin in the quilt on the bed and then picked her up.

Shen Qin could only obey the order.

"I will leave on my own."

The two finally sat down facing each other, and Shen Qin turned her face away, covered her mouth and nose, and coughed from time to time.

It was completely dark outside, and the room was only illuminated by candlelight. The charcoal basin at their feet reflected the redness of their cheeks.

From a distance, you can hear "Happy Landlords" going on in the room over there.

"I remember I had a cold when I was a child. Brother Han used acupoint therapy on me and it was very effective."

Li Yunxi reached out and touched Shen Qin's heart.

"The Tanzhong point is right here."

Shen Qin was ashamed and stood up in a hurry.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be like this. I can just give myself acupuncture and it will be fine."

Li Yunxi raised his eyebrows slightly,

"Sir, you are really not good-natured. I have been full of yang and anger recently. I finally tried to get rid of you, but you didn't even give me a chance?"

If she wasn't ashamed, Shen Qin could reply fluently.

"Then your Highness, you can eat some lotus seed soup to relieve your lust."

Li Yunxi didn't bother to argue with him and pushed him back to the stool.

"Sit down and don't move. This is the king's order."

Shen Qin had no choice but to obey and let Li Yunxi gently tap Shen Qin's Tanzhong point with his fingers.

His exertion was neither light nor heavy, and there was a feeling of relief in the slight pain. Shen Qin only felt that the face grilled by the charcoal pot was getting more and more burning.

Li Yunxi said while pressing it.

"According to the intelligence recently obtained by this king, Rong Chen is Gou Chen's adopted son and has now defected. The Dark Snake learned the news and withdrew from Bianjing overnight. Even if Rong Chen now abandons the dark side and joins the bright side, the information he gave may not be meaningful. Stay. If you let him go, it will bring danger to you sir."

Shen Qin felt that with his massage, her throat became cooler and less itchy.

"Your Highness, please give me some time. I have already thought of a solution."

"Not one more day."

Li Yunxi put Shen Qin's hand into his palm again and massaged his thenar. Shen Qin felt that the thenar was painful and sore, and frowned slightly.

"What if I must keep him?"

Li Yunxi raised his eyes to look at Shen Qin, with confusion in his eyes.

"Although Sir is kind, he is also a person who understands the overall situation. It is really abnormal to act like this."

Seeing that Shen Qin didn't defend himself, Li Yunxi's face darkened.

"I heard from Qingyan that at that time in Yihongyuan, Sanyu, Mr. Chen and Chen Yugui were present. Sanyu said that the assassin forced him to cover up and deceived Qingyan, but Qingyan followed the direction he pointed and chased him, but did not stop. The assassin's blood stains were found, so I guessed that Rong Chen was hiding in Sanyu's house at that time, so did you know, did you not know, or did you help treat Rong Chen?"

Shen Qin found out that it was not long before he broke the jar and said.

"Whatever your Highness thinks, that is what it is."

Li Yunxi smiled slightly with a hint of bitterness.

"I really don't want to doubt sir."

Shen Qin said with deep eyes.

"So, His Highness took me to Taikang Mountain not just to investigate the case, right?"

Li Yunxi said frankly,

"Yes, I wanted to know what the relationship between your husband and the Dark Snake Assassin was, but when we arrived at the mountain pass, I couldn't bear it considering my husband's safety, so it was my husband who took the initiative to follow me."

King Xi is still King Xi, life is like a drama and all depends on acting skills.

Shen Qin smiled faintly, his eyes still as calm as water.

"Indeed, so His Highness King Xi wants to test whether I am a spy from the Dark Snake?"

Li Yunxi didn't speak for a while. He lifted up Shen Qin's sleeves and wanted to massage his Neiguan point. When he saw the blue marks on his wrist, he asked.

"How did this happen?"

Shen Qin took his hand out and said truthfully.

"It was the prince who beat me. He didn't like me. It's okay. He will retreat in a few days."

Li Yunxi said with a complicated expression and remained silent for a long time.

"I don't believe that my husband is a spy, but my husband makes me confused. I even begin to suspect that my husband was deliberately injured to protect Rong Chen. But I shouldn't be like this, right? I'm trying to help you, sir." How much suffering did you suffer?”

Ignoring the slipping of the quilt, Shen Qin stood up, raised her hands and saluted, but her tone was firm.

"His Highness is so smart, how can he not be suspicious? I just want to protect him, even if he disobeys His Highness's orders."

"Even if you deceive me?"

"Yes."
