Song Lin's expression relaxed slightly.

He hurriedly walked up to He Qingchen, hesitated, and lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, there is a guest upstairs who doesn't want to leave. He said that he wants him to leave, so, I will ask you and the princess to go up and talk to him."

He Qingchen's face turned dark.

He immediately stood up and said through gritted teeth, "Princess, you stay busy here. I will go meet the 'guest' above."

He emphasized the word "guest" very heavily.

Shen Guidi pulled his hand, with a hint of disapproval in her eyes.

He Qingchen turned around and saw a hint of worry in her eyes.

His heart warmed, and he soothed her slowly, "It's okay, I'm just going up to take a look, maybe he knows her and wants to discuss something with me, so you stay busy here, I'll be down soon."

Seeing this, Shen Guidi said nothing.

He Qingchen touched her head and turned away. Song Lin quickly moved away to make way for him.

Before leaving, He Qingchen looked at the guards behind him and said, "You stay here and listen to the princess's orders. If anyone makes the princess unhappy, I will throw him out."

Everyone responded and immediately stood closer.

He Qingchen then went upstairs with peace of mind. Ye Feng followed behind him, his body tense and his face alert.

His tense body finally relaxed when he saw several people in the corridor upstairs.

He Qingchen is the opposite.

When he saw those people, he began to become more violent and his eyes became colder and more sinister, as if he was suddenly possessed by a nightmare. Although they were a bit far away, the guards standing by the door were all martial artists.

They are sensitive to the sight of others.

At this moment, being looked at by He Qingchen like this, he naturally noticed something.

They looked confused, but subconsciously made defensive and vigilant movements.

Seeing this, Ye Feng turned his head to look at He Qingchen, not knowing why. Seeing the coldness in his eyes, he shuddered and quickly reminded him, "Your Majesty, the one inside should be His Royal Highness Prince Rong."

He Qingchen heard a familiar voice.

Come to yourself.

Yes.

He was reborn.

Back to three years ago, nothing had happened yet.

And He Chengjue, at this moment, was still wearing his mask, playing the role of a good brother.

He glanced at those people solemnly, and the hostility in his body dissipated.

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

The guards in the corridor also relaxed their guard and watched He Qingchen walk to the door of the private room in a daze and knocked on it politely.

The gentle and slow sound of "come in" from inside the door still made He Qingchen's eyes darker.

Inside the room.

He Chengjue sat on one side with his back to him. He did not turn around when he entered the private room and continued to sit there calmly.

There were two people sitting on his left and right sides.

When they saw He Qingchen coming in, they all raised their eyes and met He Qingchen's gaze.

He Qingchen's pupils trembled violently.

His hands hung from his wide sleeves, and he clenched his fists tightly, trying hard to resist the urge to kill them to relieve the anger from his previous life.

He knew both of them.

They are a pair of cousins, born in humble backgrounds, and are considered He Chengjue's advisers. However, for convenience, they appear as guards to the outside world.

Of course, this is an identity they have deliberately concealed.

If he had not been imprisoned in a dungeon in his previous life, he would probably not know these things until his death.

In past and present lives, they have often instigated He Chengjue to do evil.

Even the idea of ​​Ye Feng falling off a cliff and disappearing was given to He Chengjue by them.

The purpose, of course, was to distract his attention and try to find out from Ye Feng the news about his ten years in the Southern Territory.

Ye Feng refused to obey and was tortured to a point where his life was worse than death.

And just as they wished, he focused most of his attention on finding Ye Feng.

Over the years, Ye Feng has followed him through life and death.

Not brothers, but better than brothers.

Ye Feng fell off a cliff and disappeared while investigating a case for him. How could he just do nothing and let the matter go?

It’s because his mind is not in the palace.

During that half year, the palace leaked more than a sieve, which gave everyone an opportunity to take advantage of it, and also led him slowly to destruction and death. He Qingchen clasped his fingers tightly in his palms, his nails digging into his palms without him noticing.

He suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes.

He deliberately greeted them casually, then slowly walked to He Chengjue's side and said with a smile: "Royal brother, why are you here? You called me here, is there something?"

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at the two men.

The two men looked tense.

Just now, they felt a hint of murderous intent from He Qingchen.

However, they didn't care too much.

Just treat it as an illusion.

After all, He Qingchen was trying his best to please He Chengjue. They had a special status in He Chengjue's place, and He Qingchen was too busy trying to please them, so how could he have murderous intentions towards them?

He Chengjue gave him a doting smile: "Why, does my royal brother have to look for you for something else?"

"Of course not. This is not the case. I saw that they were both here. Besides, you just said that to Shopkeeper Song, and he was scared. I thought someone was causing trouble."

He Chengjue didn't respond to his words.

I just poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him: "Don't you want to sit down?"

He Qingchen immediately smiled broadly, sat down casually, picked up the cup of tea he gave him and drank it.

Unfortunately, the tea was too hot and scalded him.

He hurriedly looked for something to try to relieve the pain of the burn, and when he raised his face again, his eyes were misty.

He Chengjue was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly reached out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Why are you so careless? The tea is too hot, and I didn't even have time to remind you, but you drank it. Why are you in such a hurry to drink it?"

"No, I've been busy all morning and I'm a little thirsty."

"You, what are you busy with all day? You just woke up, you should be resting in the palace, why are you making a fuss again? When I heard that you woke up, I wanted to go see you, but I had too many things to do these two days and couldn't get away."

When mentioning this, He Qingchen's eyes suddenly turned red.

He stared at He Chengjue for a long time, wishing he could tear this hypocritical face into pieces.

But she had to pretend to be dependent and trying to please him as she did in the past.

He Chengjue was seriously playing the role of a good brother. Seeing He Qingchen's eyes reddened, he hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong? Why are your eyes red again?"

The other two also set their eyes on He Qingchen.

He Qingchen pursed his lips and said with a groan, "Brother, I, I went to Gongzhou for several months. I thought I could do something great for you, but I didn't know that I almost couldn't come back."

His voice was choked with sobs and his nose turned red with grievance.

When He Chengjue heard him mention this, his heart skipped a beat.

For a long time.

Then he coaxed her, "Alright, alright, it's alright. Father has ordered people to track down the assassin. You are better now, and you have a beautiful princess. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

The two people standing by frowned as they listened and watched.

When she heard what He Chengjue called "a blessing in disguise", she couldn't help but twitching her eyes.

Unexpectedly, when He Qingchen heard the princess, he straightened up: "Royal brother, you are still talking. Lord Lin saw that I was dying and was reluctant to marry his daughter to me, so he directly found a woman to replace Miss Lin.

If this substitute bride wasn't pleasing to the eye, I would have skinned Lord Lin alive."

He Chengjue gasped when he heard the voice.

He asked in surprise, "You mean, Lin Huaian found a woman to replace Lin Qingran to bring you happiness?"

The other two also looked extremely shocked.

He Qingchen curled his lips slightly and nodded in the midst of their extremely shocked expressions.
