"Where's Xiaoyu? How's she doing lately?" Xiao Yanzhou was concerned about her situation again.

"The little princess has been very happy recently and often comes out to play."

Hearing that she was happy, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"It's just..." He Yi hesitated, not knowing whether he should say it.

"Just what?" His smiling face suddenly froze.

"I always feel that the little princess seems to have discovered that someone is following her."

"reason?"

"This... I feel that the way the little princess looks at them is not right... and other things..." Actually, He Yi couldn't explain it. If he really had to give a reason, it would probably be intuition.

He had long noticed that Xiao Yu was very vigilant, so he specifically asked He Yi to select guards with high martial arts skills to monitor and guard him. Could this be discovered?

After considering for a moment, he hooked his finger and said something in He Yi's ear.

He Yi was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I'll go tell them right away."

"No." He stopped her quickly, "You go there yourself, and don't hurt Xiaoyu."

"It's Your Majesty."

He fixed his gaze on one place, his eyes becoming increasingly cold.

It seems I have to try Xiao Yanqing again.

The next day.

Qing Yu woke up in bed and subconsciously wanted to hug him, but when she turned over, she found that there was no one there and even the pillow was cold.

She felt more and more lost. She remembered that he came back last night, but she didn't see him. This situation has been going on for almost a week.

She doesn't like it! She doesn't like it!

When she walked out of the bedroom, the guard saw her get up and hurried forward, "Princess, His Highness has instructed that he will come back early today to accompany you."

Upon hearing this, she was immediately delighted, and her happiness was visibly evident.

He quickly walked up to the guard and wanted to confirm again, "Really?"

"Yes, my lady."

"That's great." He immediately shook off the gloom and skipped off to have lunch.

The guards following behind couldn't help but sigh that the princess's emotions were like the wind. Whether she was happy or unhappy, she could feel it instantly and could affect others, especially His Highness.

Knowing that he would come back to accompany me today, I happened to feel like strolling out in the afternoon, of course with a purpose.

"Hey, did you hear? The wasteland outside the city caught fire yesterday!"

In the shops Qing Yu passed by, many people were discussing and speculating about the cause of yesterday's fire.

"I heard it was caused by gunpowder."

"Really? Who is so wicked?!"

"It's not that simple. Gunpowder causes an explosion, but it doesn't blow up anything or hurt anyone." One of the people seemed to have mentioned the key point.

Hearing this, Qing Yu slowly stopped and pretended to look at the cloth in the shop.

"So, it is very likely that a certain high-ranking official is involved again." The people who were talking about it deliberately emphasized the two words "someone".

Another citizen's eyes widened, as if he understood what he said, "You mean that..."

"Cough cough!"

The people noticed her presence and coughed lightly to stop the man from saying the name.

"Sir, do you like this?" The boss hurried over to greet her guest.

She smiled slightly and felt the fabric in her hand, "Very comfortable."

"You have really good taste, customer. This fabric is very difficult to make..." the boss introduced her fabric.

But when she touched it in her hand, she found that it was not as good as anything else in her house.

In recent days, Yan Qing's bedroom has been filled with many of her favorite fabrics, and what surprised her most is that the floor is also covered with blankets.

The maid told her that he had ordered his subordinates to prepare it because she always liked to walk barefoot on the ground and he was worried that she would catch a cold or get hurt, so almost all the bedrooms were covered with it.

Yan Qing treated her better and better.

She should have been content with such love, but she was too greedy and could never fill her heart.

Strolling along the road, staring at a group of children playing nearby.

The children seemed to be playing with balls in their hands. Every time she saw this, she would think, if only she could have met him when she was a child.

Would life not be so bad? Would she have more courage to resist?

As her mind wandered, she suddenly noticed that the ball the children were throwing was hit by something.

The speed was extremely fast. To be precise, it was not the object that hit the ball that she could see clearly, but the condensed internal force.

Seeing the ball heading straight for her face, there was no time to think and she should have subconsciously dodged, but she still stood there, ready to take a heavy blow.

Suddenly, a hand seemed to catch the ball.

She recovered from her panic and looked from her hand to his face.

"He Yi?"

He Yi returned the ball to the children, and the children apologized one by one, but she just smiled and didn't mind.

"Little princess, are you hurt?" He Yi hurried forward and asked.

She shook her head. "Thank you, He Yi, but why are you here?"

He Yi explained, "The palace has some new fruits. Your Majesty thought the little princess would like them, so he specially asked me to deliver them."

"I just went to the little princess's house but didn't see her. I heard from the maid that the little princess might be here, so I came to see her."

When she heard there was something delicious to eat, she immediately smiled and said, "I see. Thank you, Brother Zhou for me."

"You are too polite, my Lord. Your Majesty just wants you to be happy."

"Little Princess, how are you feeling these days?" He Yi noticed her expression and knew that it was rude of him to ask so directly, but this was also what His Majesty requested.

She didn't seem to mind that Xiao Yanzhou cared so much about her, "Don't worry, Brother Zhou, I'm fine now."

"That's good. His Majesty said that he is a bit busy these days. He will go out with the little princess after he is done with his work."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

After He Yi finished his instructions, he said goodbye and left.

Seeing this, the guards behind Qing Yu hurried forward to apologize.

"Princess, I know I'm guilty. I didn't even notice it just now." The guard bowed his head and apologized deeply.

Although he saw it, he was beaten to it just as he was about to step forward.

She stared at something, as if thinking about something, "How much of your power can resist Qianyun?"

Facing her question, the guard was a little confused, but still answered truthfully, "My lord, at most 80%."

"Eighty percent..." she repeated.

The guards who were so close to her and had great martial arts skills were unable to react to the ball kicked by the child in such a short time.

This means that the internal force of this attack is greater than that of the guards, but He Yi's position is unknown and he doesn't know how far away he is from him, but he was able to rush over in advance.

There are two possibilities. One is that someone wanted to harm her and He Yi happened to arrive there early. The other possibility is that He Yi knew in advance that the ball would hit him.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but curl her lips and reveal a meaningful smile, not one of worry, but of indescribable excitement.

Brother Zhou is so amazing that he even wants to test whether I know martial arts.

It is difficult for ordinary martial artists to restrain themselves from harming themselves, but it is much easier for her.

"Princess, what happened?" The guard, who had not received a response, asked.

She chuckled, "Haha, let's go back to the house."

"Hey? Going back to the mansion? Isn't the princess going to go shopping?"

"I'm going to eat some delicious fruit." Before she finished speaking, she had already jumped away.

The guards behind him hurriedly followed, "Princess...Princess! Wait for your subordinates!"
