Xiao Qian couldn't figure it out for a while, but right now, he wanted to confirm something else.

"Right now, I see that you are cold-hearted and cruel to Xiao Yu. So in the past, the princess was always playing tricks on the occasion?"

Zhao Yuan adjusted his clothes casually, with a cold look on his face.

"Of course, if I don't protect Xiao Yu, does the Fourth Highness think that the emperor will still pamper me so lawlessly? There are so many generals who died guarding the border, and the Zhao family is not the only one who has only one legacy left in the family, but the Zhao family is not the only one. Why can I be admitted into the palace and be loved infinitely? Your Highness the Fourth Prince can appreciate it carefully."

Xiao Qian couldn't help but nodded after listening to her words.

indeed.

She happened to be the only bloodline of the general who died for his country. He could not only legitimately enter the palace, but also indulge her in the name of compensation.

Give her a reason to be willful and arrogant, and she is young and doesn't remember things, so she is very easy to control.

In this way, Zhao Yuan is indeed the most suitable candidate to serve as Xiao Yu's shield.

Looking at it this way, Zhao Yuan was too miserable.

Xiao Qian couldn't help but look into her eyes, and realized that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. If there were no such conspiracies, her eyes would be as bright and shining as the stars and the bright moon.

But now such bright eyes were coated with a layer of frost that could not be melted away. Under that frost was an endless murderous intention that could hardly be hidden.

"Why did you choose me?" Xiao Qian asked.

Zhao Yuan didn't look sideways, "Because we are the two people who know each other best, aren't we?"

In one sentence, he successfully pleased Xiao Qian.

He raised the corners of his lips, and there was a bit of cruelty in his eyes.

"Okay, Zhao Yuan, I will believe you this time. If I find out that you are deceiving me, I will make your life worse than death even if you go to the ends of the world."

Zhao Yuan showed no fear and just smiled: "Okay."

Seeing that the matter was finally settled, she stood up and patted her sleeves: "In this case, I will no longer disturb His Highness the Fourth Prince's meal. I will take my leave."

After all, turn around and leave.

Xiao Qian looked at her leaving and raised his thin lips slightly. Not long after, Zhong Liu knocked on the door and entered.

"Your Highness, Princess Changle left on horseback."

"understood."

A table of cold dishes was also set, and Xiao Qian had already lost his appetite for food. He stood up and said:
"Now go and investigate my coward, the fifth emperor brother, and Zhao Yuan."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"By the way, send a few spies to guard the palace gates entering and exiting the palace. Except for the courtiers who go to the morning court, everyone who enters the palace will make a list and report to the king every day."

He can trust Zhao Yuan's words to the third degree, but when it comes to his father, he has to be on guard now.

In this world, the most ruthless family is the imperial family. Blood is thicker than water, and family affection is warm. These are the least worth mentioning in the face of Jiang Shang, the throne, and power.

Since ancient times, for the sake of the throne, many brothers have killed each other, sons have killed their fathers, and fathers have killed their sons. Isn't it because he understands this that he conceals his edge like this?
……

Zhao Yuan rode wildly all the way and rushed back to the spice shop in just half a stick of incense.

As soon as she returned, she hurried to the backyard to change into her own clothes, rearranged her outfit, checked it carefully to make sure there were no flaws, and then returned to the second floor.Ling'er, who was making incense in the house, suddenly heard one or two bells shaking from outside, and immediately understood that the lady was back.

She stood up and pressed out the incense in the incense burner, then poured out the remaining incense that was not used up, replaced it with new incense, poured it on, and then put it back in its place.

After a while, the eyelids of Mo Qi, who was lying on the table, moved. He opened his eyes drowsily, and suddenly stood up and sat up straight as if he realized something.

"Am I asleep?"

Ling'er pretended to be startled by her reaction, then smiled and said: "I just made the incense and you narrowed your eyes. Later, you may have fallen asleep while smelling my calming incense."

Hearing this, Mo Qi nodded. She actually didn't remember exactly when she fell asleep. She only remembered that Ling'er asked her to sit down and asked about some symptoms of insomnia.

She stretched her waist and moved her neck, and found that the fatigue before going to bed was indeed reduced a lot. Now she even felt that her brain was getting clearer and clearer, as if she was very excited.

All over my body, I felt a sense of relaxation that I hadn't felt in a long time.

She was a little surprised by this feeling: "How long have I been asleep?"

Ling'er kept moving her hands and said without looking back: "It won't take long, only about an hour!"

"Only about an hour?"

Mo Qi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Even if she went back to catch up on her sleep until the next morning, she might not be able to achieve this kind of comfort.

The Ningshen fragrance prepared by Ling'er is really amazing!
Seeing that Linger was already holding two boxes of incense and writing a note, Mo Qi asked: "Has it been made?"

After Ling'er finished writing, he picked up one of the boxes and handed it to her.

"Yes, it has been made. This is Sister Mo Qi's share. Thank you to Sister Mo Qi for taking care of my young lady. Fortunately, my young lady is accompanied by Sister Mo Qi in the palace. This Ning Shenxiang should be regarded as I hope Sister Mo Qi won’t dislike my little care."

The effect of this fragrance can be said to be the dream of those ladies in the palace who have sleepless nights.

How could she dislike it?

At this moment, Mo Qi was obviously very happy, but facing Ling'er's humble look, she suddenly felt a little concerned.

She raised her chin slightly, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes, and said in a noble manner: "Since you are so sincere, Ling'er, I can't deny your kindness, so I will reluctantly give you this fragrance." Accepted."

Even though she said that, she didn't hesitate at all when taking the things.

Seeing her look like this, Ling'er's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain. He obviously rolled his eyes in his heart, but he still said respectfully on his face:
"Sister Mo Qi, you're welcome. If Sister Mo Qi still needs help in the future, you can come to me for help."

Of course, the more of this kind of good stuff, the better. This Ling'er is really wise.

Mo Qi was very satisfied, but with a reserved look on his face, he nodded slightly.

"Let's talk about it later! Now that the incense has been made, you can go about your business. I have to go back to serve the princess. I will bring this peace of mind incense to the princess!"

After saying that, he put the incense in his sleeve, straightened his clothes, and went out with another stick of incense.

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhao Yuan said without raising his head: "Come in."

"The county lord."

Zhao Yuan sat at the table and inspected the rows of newly imported spices on the table. Listening to the noise, she raised her eyes and took a look: "Ling'er has mixed all the incense?"

"Go back to the princess, it's already been mixed. This is the incense made by Miss Ling'er." (End of Chapter)
