The sky was gradually covered with dark clouds. The people around felt bored when they saw the weather. If they didn't leave later, they might get soaked like a drowned rat, which was not worth it.

"Qingling, I'm sorry..."

Lin Zhi looked at Qingling with tears in her eyes. She couldn't shed tears as she couldn't let others see that the Zhang family was cowardly. But Qingling was fine. It was all her fault that she was useless and couldn't protect her.

"Don't be sad, mother. We didn't lose anything. But the state teacher must be too embarrassed to look at himself now." He was beaten openly, and Si Baike couldn't heal him with his spiritual power.

"It's only five hours! I can bear it, but that face won't heal for another three to five days."

"Sister, I'm sorry that I'm useless and that's why you got bullied."

Zhang Qingfeng also looked at Qingling with a guilty look on his face. If he was stronger, his sister wouldn't have to be bullied...

Qingling knelt on the ground and gently pinched Zhang Qingfeng's little face with her hand.

"Who said that? Our Qingfeng is the best. Didn't he protect his sister just now? I am so touched. Besides, I was wrong to start with it. Now go back. Mother and Qingfeng, don't look at me. Otherwise, you will feel bad, and I will feel bad too. Don't let those people outside laugh at you, okay?"

"Sister...but I...but I" How can I bear to see you suffer...

"Qingling..." Lin Zhi looked at Qingling's sensible appearance and couldn't hold back a big tear. Qingling reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of Lin Zhi's eyes.

"Qingfeng, don't let mother worry. Take her to father's study and let her test your homework. Don't let some insignificant people delay your study."

"Yes."

Zhang Qingfeng took Lin Zhi's hand and led her towards Zhang Run's study. He secretly made up his mind that he must grow up well and not let anyone bully his sister again. No one should be allowed to do so.

Cui'er and Xu Wen stood aside, looking at Qingling with great concern, fearing that something might happen to her. They also cursed Li He and Si Bai a hundred times in their hearts. Especially Cui'er, Qingling grew up under her care, and she had long been a treasure in her heart. Now this treasure was bullied, and she was powerless to do anything and could only curse in her heart.

"Brother Xu, take Sister Cui'er home. Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

"Miss..." Xu Wen knew that Cui'er wanted to stand here with Qingling. So he did not take any action, and felt heartbroken for his inability to do anything.

"Sister Cui'er, the most important thing now is for you to find a few skilled maids to clean up the mess that these people made. They didn't find anything today, and Daddy might come back tomorrow, and I don't want him to see this scene. Please."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

When Cui'er and Xu Wen heard Qingling say this, they immediately gathered a few maids to start sorting out the mess in Zhang's house. Zhang Qingfeng also began to recite beside Lin Zhi. They all knew that Qingling didn't want them to worry, and they also didn't want Qingling to worry about them. No one was crying, but they all held back their tears, and their eyes were red.

Everyone had the same idea in their mind: they didn't want outsiders to laugh at the Zhang family.

Crash! Crash! A sudden heavy rain came from the sky, like a joke, wetting Qingling's face. Cui'er rushed forward to hold an umbrella for Qingling, but the soldier who was looking at Qingling stopped her.

"Master Imperial Master, please tell Miss Zhang that she is reflecting on her mistakes. No one is allowed to approach. Please leave."

Cui Er saw this and quickly took out some silver from her bosom and handed it to the soldier, saying that she hoped the lord would do her a favor. The soldier threw the silver on the ground and was about to attack Cui Er. Qing Ling picked up a stone and threw it over, knocking the knife out of the soldier's hand.

"Sister Cui'er, I'm fine, I'll go back."

"Miss..." Cui'er was hesitant to speak, and felt even more distressed when she looked at Qingling.

Qing Ling shook her head and smiled to reassure Sister Cui Er. The soldier had a strange look in his eyes. It seemed that he was controlled by Si Bai and would not give up until she knelt for five hours.

The rain kept falling, and the overwhelming raindrops kept hitting Qingling's body. Qingling, who originally still had some strength, suddenly felt as if her whole body was falling apart. Her eyes became more and more tired, and she could not see the face in front of her at all. Then a voice came to her ears.

《Host, do you regret it? 》

What did he regret? He regretted that he was careless and did not foresee that someone would control Li He and the others with other purposes. He regretted why he did not arrive earlier that day. He also regretted that he could not protect his family this time, always making them worry and cry.

The system couldn't find you when it was looking for you, and you came to laugh at me while I was kneeling here. You are really too much...

"Kill Li He, and you won't be in so much pain."

Impossible, he is very nice and gentle, none of this is his fault, I won't touch him, not now and certainly not in the future.

The system didn't say a word afterwards, probably because it was irritated by her again.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Qingling couldn't see clearly anymore and her mind was in a mess. She had no strength at all and felt very uncomfortable all over. It seemed that she had a fever again. Qingling held onto her thighs tightly to prevent herself from falling down and tried hard to open her eyes.

In the rain, a man walked over from behind Qingling. Tap! Tap! Tap! It was unclear whether he was here to make fun of her.

"Ms. Zhang thinks she doesn't have to pay for the consultation, so she is unscrupulously not treating herself well."

Qingling looked up and saw that it was Jiang Siyi who had returned to Zhang's house. Qingling thought that he saw that she was in good condition, so he left without saying goodbye.

"It's not my will."

After Qingling finished speaking, she could no longer hold on and fell down. Jiang Siyi bent down and caught Qingling, carefully holding her in his arms, letting her lean comfortably in his arms. At that moment, the raindrops from the sky were blocked out and could no longer wet Qingling.

"How dare you! Put that criminal down right now." The soldier looked at Jiang Siyi and roared. He pulled out the knife in his hand and pointed it at Jiang Siyi.

Jiang Siyi ignored him and walked straight towards the soldier, looking at him coldly.

"Tell your master that Miss Zhang fainted after kneeling for five hours."

The soldier had a dazed look in his eyes and said "yes" foolishly, then left Zhang's house.

Jiang Siyi directly carried Qingling into her room. She was feeling hot all over and was not in good condition.

In the palace, Concubine Zhang rushed to Linghe Palace. When she opened the door, she saw Li He looking at her blankly.

"He'er, go by yourself... Don't stay in the palace. That imperial master is too dangerous. Don't be controlled by him anymore. Don't worry about us." She knew that Li He would regain his consciousness when Si Bai was not around. Concubine Zhang looked at Li He with worry in her eyes. She heard that Si Bai had brought people to cause trouble for Qing Ling again today. If this continued, no matter what the outcome of this matter was, He'er would always be the one who got hurt. Qing Ling and him had no chance, so she took advantage of Si Bai's absence and secretly ran over. If He'er was willing, she and the Queen would do their best to protect He'er from the palace.

"My Lady Concubine, my father and Prime Minister Su and my second brother are all under control. I will not leave. Believe me, I will not let Si Bai's plan succeed."

“He’er…” What should she do? He’er still doesn’t know that Qingling has been to the gates of hell, and she can’t tell He’er in person… Tears kept streaming down Concubine Zhang’s cheeks. She has never cried since she married His Majesty. Li He could have lived a happy life with Qingling… Why… Why treat him like this… Isn’t he suffering enough?

"Don't cry, Your Majesty. Si Bai should be here soon. Let's go. I will find a way to deal with him." Li He handed Concubine Zhang a handkerchief.

"He'er, you should think about your future with Qingling. If you don't go find her now, it will be impossible in the future. Do you understand?"

"I understand..." But I can't abandon you and Li Guo. Li He asked Concubine Zhang to leave first, and told her not to worry about the outside world these days and stay with the Queen. Li He promised to make them all recover. Si Bai wanted him to marry Su Yan, so let him do it. When he lets down his guard that day, I will make him pay for what he did these days.
