The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Coming out of the study, Yan Qi went straight to Zhao Huayin's yard.

Shen Bi had already gone to the kitchen to personally take care of Zhao Huayin's food. When Yan Qi came in, Dian Xue was helping Zhao Huayin get out of bed.

"Why don't you just lie down?"

Yan Qi took a few steps forward and took Zhao Huayin from Dian Xue's hands, then helped her sit down on the couch by the window.

"I've been lying down for so long, I want to take a look at the window.

I'm fine now, don't worry."

Zhao Huayin did not refuse, and held Yan Qi's arm and sat down by the window.

"We still have to be careful. Jiaozhi's black magic can kill people without them even noticing. This incident was too dangerous. Fortunately, nothing happened in the end."

Yan Qi looked annoyed.

"It's also my fault for not thinking carefully and causing trouble for you."

"How can I blame you? Who could have thought of such a secret trick? They didn't use it against the most important person, but used it on me instead."

"King Xuan recognized the people I left with you. He actually wanted to deal with me, so he attacked you."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Qingshuang came over quietly. When Zhao Huayin and Yan Qi saw her, she was already kneeling straight in front of Yan Qi.

"It was my fault that I failed to protect the girl and put her in danger. Please punish me, Master!"

"Qingshuang, please get up. You have been doing your best by my side. We have never seen the black magic of Jiaozhi before. You will not be able to defend yourself against their attack on me."

After Zhao Huayin finished speaking, she wanted to pull Qingshuang up.

"what's going on?"

Yan Qi pressed Zhao Huayin down and asked in a deep voice.

"Since I learned that the girl was bewitched by a black magic, I have thought carefully and found only one thing that is most suspicious."

Qingshuang looked at Zhao Huayin and continued,

"Girl, do you still remember the day when you went to buy cakes and were bumped by someone?"

Zhao Huayin was startled and instantly remembered the day she was hit.

"Now that you mention it, I remember it now. It is indeed true."

Zhao Huayin subconsciously looked at the back of her hand. It was there that Zhao Huayin clearly saw something like blood spilled on it, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At that time I thought I was just overthinking it, but now I think that was probably the beginning of the black magic.

"It seems that this evil magic is really hard to guard against."

Zhao Huayin muttered to herself.

"I was with the girl and something like this happened. I am truly derelict in my duty and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Yan Qi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"You have indeed neglected your duty."

Zhao Huayin was afraid that Yan Qi would punish Qing Shuang, so she interrupted him.

"Wait a minute! Since the prince has sent Qingshuang to my side to protect me, does that mean she is also mine?"

Zhao Huayin looked at Yan Qi with a serious face.

"Naturally."

"If that's the case, then shouldn't I be the one to decide whether Qing Shuang failed in her duty and whether she should be punished?"

Yan Qi saw Zhao Huayin slightly looking up, her cheeks slightly flushed with anxiety, and his heart moved slightly, and his tone became much softer.

"Of course, you have the final say."

"That's good. Since I have the final say, Qingshuang, you can go out and deliver a letter to my brother for me, asking about Ji Yunshan's situation."

Qingshuang was stunned when she heard that. She glanced at Yan Qi and saw Yan Qi nod slightly, then she left.

"Yes, girl!"

"And Liuyun and Dianxue, go to the courtyard where the prince lives and help Commander Mu pack up the prince's things."

Zhao Huayin was a little unsure of Yan Qi's temper. She was afraid that he would vent his anger on the people around him because of her injury, so she sent everyone away.

After everyone else left, Zhao Huayin suddenly realized that there were only Yan Qi and herself left in the room, and the atmosphere seemed a little off.

Especially now that he was sitting on the couch by the window, Yan Qi was standing beside him like a guardian.

It seemed a little unreasonable for me to sit while the prince stood.

Zhao Huayin moved aside and asked awkwardly,

"Your Majesty, why don't you sit down too?"

Yan Qi was not polite. He lifted his clothes and sat next to Zhao Huayin.

Zhao Huayin made small talk.

"Your Highness just said that the King of Xuan originally wanted to deal with you, so don't blame Qingshuang and the others, and I'm fine now.

But I think King Xuan chose the wrong person, and it is completely useless for him to hurt me."

Unexpectedly, after Zhao Huayin said this, Yan Qi's eyes became frighteningly bright and he looked straight at Zhao Huayin.

“No, this time only King Xuan did not choose the wrong person, he wanted me to experience the pain of losing my beloved.

Fortunately, you are fine. This is the first time I hate King Xuan so much for being so smart. If anything happened to you, I would go crazy."

Yan Qi's eyes were filled with deep affection, and Zhao Huayin felt that if she looked at him one more moment, she would drown in them.

Zhao Huayin knew that Yan Qi might have some feelings for her, but it was far from such a deep level.

Yan Qi still looked at Zhao Huayin with burning eyes, and Zhao Huayin's cheeks slowly turned pink.

"I didn't know that the prince had such deep affection for me...for me."

"Don't call me Your Majesty anymore."

Yan Qi spoke softly,

"When we were little in Jing'an Temple, you always called me little brother. You shouldn't be so distant now."

Jing'an Temple? Little brother?

When Yan Qi said this, Zhao Huayin was struck by lightning. She looked at Yan Qi in disbelief. The smile on her face gradually faded, tears gradually welled up in her eyes, and she asked in a trembling voice,

"You, you mean Jing'an Temple?"

Yan Qi's eyes became more gentle, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Yes, I almost died when I was a child, but I met a very noisy little girl in Jing'an Temple. She talked to me a lot every day and called me little brother.

She said she loved crabapple flowers the most and often brought me snacks. The little girl was very capable and said she would not leave me alone after saving me.

Over the years, when I couldn't make it through many times, I would always look at the words she left me: 'In this world of dust, I prefer love to hate', and I thought, one day I will find her again."

At the end, tears glistened in Yan Qi's eyes.

"Are you really the little brother from that time? I couldn't find you at that time, and I was worried about you. I begged my mother to go to Jing'an Temple every once in a while, but I never saw you again. I thought you, I thought you had..."

Zhao Huayin's voice was choked with sobs, as if all the grievances she had suffered over the years were vented out all at once.

Seeing Zhao Huayin's tears rolling down the floor, Yan Qi felt pain in his heart. He raised his hand and gently wiped away Zhao Huayin's tears, saying softly,

"Huayin, I'm fine. I'm back with you. Your little brother has grown up. Can I let him protect you from now on?"

Zhao Huayin felt mixed emotions, sad and distressed.

As a prince, Yan Qi was dying of illness in a temple at that time, but no one cared about him.

If I hadn't happened to save him, he might have been dead long ago.

Such a pale and thin boy, I wonder how many hardships he went through to become the cold-faced prince that everyone fears today.

He really grew up alone for so many years.

Thinking of this, Zhao Huayin could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears while hugging Yan Qi.
