Yan Siyuan gave Qingyun medicine, changed her clothes, and then came out.

Qing Xiao sat on the stone steps in front of the door, leaning against the pillar next to him, staring blankly at the gradually whitening sky.

Yan Siyuan sat casually next to him. The wound on his arm was not bandaged, so he just left it there.

Qing Xiao felt Yan Siyuan, and then turned around and asked, "Is Xue'er okay?"

"It's much better, I slept peacefully."

"That's good". Qing Xiao's eyes turned back and said, "Yan Siyuan, do you really don't want that position?"

Yan Siyuan was stunned for a moment and said without hesitation: "I don't want to, and Xue'er doesn't like it either."

"In that case, let Yan Qin'ao do it. At least he won't think of hurting Xue'er." Qing Xiao's eyes flashed.

Qingyun was injured again and again, and he had had enough. They all know about Yuan Jinyan and Shen Lingfei, but they just pretend they don't know.

From their understanding of Shen Lingfei, they knew that he had a restless temper. And with how much Qingyun attaches importance to Shen Lingfei, she won't turn a blind eye.

So what the two of them had to do was to keep an eye on Emperor Yan and not let him notice something was wrong and come back early.

The two of them really kept an eye on people. Since Emperor Yan arrived at the palace, he rarely came out. Both of them sent secret guards to guard outside the palace, and even went to guard the palace themselves, but neither found anything wrong with Emperor Yan.

But it was just too quiet and too easy. The two of them felt that there might be something wrong with the capital, so they drove back.

The hunting ground this time was not far from the capital, and they accelerated even more after hearing the sound of fighting. But when we arrived, it was still too late.

Even now, the two of them still have no clue who did all this. But it is undeniable that Emperor Yan must have known about it and issued a death order.

A flash of murder flashed in Yan Siyuan's eyes, and the words "I know" escaped from his throat.

Emperor Yan may not have wanted Qingyun's life, but he must have said that he would kill Yuan Jinyan if Qingyun did not die.

The next day, Qingyun opened her eyes and looked at the familiar bed curtains in front of her. Before I had time to think about where I was, I felt a pain in the palm of my hand, and then physiological tears fell.

Yan Siyuan hurriedly stepped forward to help her up. After she sat comfortably, he gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. He poured another glass of water and put it to her mouth.

Qingyun was indeed thirsty, so she drank from Yan Siyuan's hand. But she couldn't ignore the pain in her palm. She frowned and endured the pain and raised her hand. I saw that my right hand had been tightly wrapped in white cloth.

Before he could care about himself, he thought of yesterday's scene and asked hurriedly: "How are Shen Lingfei and Yuan Jinyan doing?".

Yan Siyuan frowned slightly, and was very dissatisfied with Qingyun's indifference to him, but he still said: "Shen Lingfei can't die, and Yuan Jinyan can't save him."

Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and she used her left hand to lift the quilt and get out of bed.

But Yan Siyuan directly pressed him back, "You don't have to look, Shen Lingfei is not a child anymore, he can recover on his own, and you don't need to comfort him."

"But......".

"Stop it, take care of yourself first." Before she could speak again, Yan Siyuan covered her with the quilt again and tucked the corners of the quilt thoughtfully.

Qingyun's heart was heavy, but she didn't know what to do. She could only hold Yan Siyuan with her good hand, "Yan Siyuan, what should I do? Yuan Jinyan is dead, what should Shen Lingfei do?".

Her hand holding Yan Siyuan was shaking. She now regrets extremely why she helped Yuan Jinyan leave the palace. He knew there was danger and didn't think about how to dissuade them, but he still wanted to help.

Yan Siyuan wrapped Qingyun's hand with his big hand and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, this is not your fault. Shen Lingfei is so old, this is their decision, and they must bear the corresponding consequences.

Before they act, they must have thought about what would happen if they failed. These are not decisions you alone can make."

Qingyun's restless heart was gradually calmed down, but she was still a little worried. Then he thought of something and said: "The last two arrows were not shot by the crossbowmen, but by others."

Yan Siyuan nodded "I know."

"Did you catch that guy?".

"No, we also checked after we came back, but we haven't found that person yet."

In fact, they had already found it, but the answer was not what Qingyun wanted to know.

Qingyun's tears streaked down her cheeks and fell on Yan Siyuan's hand. Yan Siyuan was shocked and asked nervously: "But my hand hurts again. I'll ask Li Guanqi to come over and take a look."

He was about to leave, but Qingyun held him back. He had no choice but to turn back and squat beside the bed to listen to Qingyun's words.

"Yan Siyuan, am I so stupid? I can't protect anyone around me. No matter it's the secret guard in the dark, Dong Xue in the light, or Yuan Jinyan, I can't save them."

Looking at Qingyun's tears, Yan Siyuan felt terrible pain in his heart. He gently wiped her cheek and said, "If you say so, I am the stupidest one."

Qingyun raised her head and looked at him in confusion.

"You are clearly right in front of me, and I have clearly said that I love you and protect you, but yet I put you in danger time and time again. You were seriously injured every time, but I couldn't do anything."

"That's different. These are all because of myself."

"Then you too, it's impossible to keep the people you want to protect locked in a room for the rest of their lives.

The secret guards were born to protect you, and there is no way they would ask you to protect them. Even if they come back to me, they will not be safe around me.

Dongxue loves you the most. If she knew you blamed yourself so much, I would be even more sad.

Yuan Jinyan has always regarded you as his benefactor in his heart. Although she is stubborn to a fault, the integrity in her heart cannot be erased.

Shen Lingfei regards you as his biological sister and treats you no less well than Qing Xiao. None of the people you want to protect want to protect you. Xue'er, you can't blame yourself for what happened to them."

There were more and more tears in Qingyun's eyes, but she held on and refused to fall. It was like she was always thinking about the death of those secret guards, but she never said a word.

If she hadn't said it today, even Yan Siyuan wouldn't have known about it. She hugged Yan Siyuan fiercely, tears rolling down her eyes, and she could no longer hold back her crying.

She really regarded Yuan Jinyan as Shen Lingfei's wife. She also thought about having an upright fight with Yuan Jinyan in the future. As a result, she just disappeared. It is impossible to say that it is not uncomfortable.

Qingyun's crying sound came from inside the house, and Qingxiao's hand paused when he pushed the door open. He sighed, stopped thinking about going in, and sat down on the stone steps at the door.
