When Li Chengqian was staring at the courtyard gate in a daze.
Qin'er suddenly ran over.
She walked to Li Chengqian and said softly: "Your Highness, the empress is here to see you."
Hearing this, Li Chengqian came to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
Qin'er nodded, then turned and left.
One last look at the courtyard door.
Li Chengqian walked towards his room.
Compared with the hell-like scenes of the first two courtyards, Li Chengqian's courtyard is relatively much better.
Except for a few sporadic assassins who ran in and were dealt with by a few martial arts warriors around Li Chengqian, they didn't suffer any attacks for a few steps.
When he came over, Qin'er was standing outside the door.
The two stood together, Qin'er bit her lip tightly.
Seeing this, Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"
"Slave...slave..."
After pondering for a while, Qin'er finally said, "Your Highness, can you please stop doing such dangerous things in the future?"
"If I don't do it, who will?"
Li Chengqian smiled and said: "After all, someone has to stand up and protect you..."
Hearing this, Qin'er didn't know what to say next.
What she actually wanted to say was that Li Chengqian should stop doing those dangerous things.
Because when he is in danger, his lady will be very worried.
She really couldn't bear to see her young lady's haggard appearance.
But what Li Chengqian said also makes sense.
Under such circumstances, in such a family.
If he doesn't stand up, who will?
Are they slaves like them?
Maybe it would be okay if Xiaochuzi was here.
But as for her, she could only go up and die, or carry two swords for her own lady, that's all.
And inside the room.
Su Qingling had already redressed herself.
Looking at it, it was as if nothing had happened just now.
I saw Li Chengqian coming in.
Su Qingling couldn't help but think of the scene when he just rushed into the crowd with a knife.
That was the second time she saw Li Chengqian take action.
The first time was when I killed the dog official in Liangzhou.
At that time, in just a blink of an eye, Su Qingling didn't even see clearly what happened, and the dog officer was already dead.
And she also knew that as long as Li Chengqian revealed his identity at that time, no one would dare to take action against him.
So, it felt completely different that time than this time.
This time, she really felt the danger that could threaten his life.
Seeing her hesitant look, Li Chengqian chuckled and then sat next to her.
"how?"
Li Chengqian asked softly: "Are you frightened by the scene just now?"
"What do you think?"
Su Qingling pouted with some dissatisfaction: "I am a woman after all, right? I have never seen so much blood in my life..."
"It was my dereliction of duty that frightened the lady."
Li Chengqian chuckled, pretending to be relaxed and said: "All the assassins are dead, there is nothing to be afraid of."
"That's good."
To be honest, Su Qingling didn't care about those assassins at all.
She was just worried about Li Chengqian, that's all.
She leaned on Li Chengqian's shoulder, looking like a little woman.
"It's just that I can't figure it out."
"Who is it that always wants to kill us..."
Su Qingling raised her head and looked at Li Chengqian: "Aren't you curious?"
"What's there to be curious about?"
"There are so many people in this world who want your man to die."
"If you are curious about these things all day long, your man won't have to do anything else."
Li Chengqian raised his hand and hugged her into his arms, saying, "But you don't have to worry, I will always protect you."
Hearing this, Su Qingling raised her eyebrows and then blushed.
This seemed to be what Li Chengqian said to her, one of the few words that could make her blush and make her heart beat.
She looked at Li Chengqian, her eyes full of curiosity.
Will he really protect himself all the time?
But soon, her eyes turned sad.
She looked up at the door. There had been a maid taking care of her with Qin'er.
But now, the maid is no longer there.
She pursed her lips and asked, "Will the assassin come again?"
"Even if it comes, you won't see it."
Li Chengqian curled his lips and said: "Today's loss, not to mention that their vitality has been greatly damaged, at least they will not be able to cause trouble to us in the future."
"However, there are some things that we still have to guard against."
He said: "I can only accompany you for a while today, I have to leave soon."
Hearing this, Su Qingling curled her lips a little aggrievedly.
To be honest, she is still very scared until now. Only when Li Chengqian is by her side can she feel a sense of safety.
When she heard that Li Chengqian was leaving, she instinctively wanted to keep him.
But I don’t know how to speak.
Because she is too sensible.
She knew that Li Chengqian had serious business to attend to.
If he puts all his thoughts on himself, he will definitely delay important events.
And in addition to this aspect, I am afraid that there will also be a charge of bewitching the prince to be pinned on her head.
It is not easy for women in this era to have love.
If you marry your husband poorly, others will say you are jealous.
If you pester your husband all day long, outsiders will say that you affect your husband's future.
If you don't take care of things at home well, your parents will scold you as well, saying you don't have a tutor.
Therefore, Su Qingling didn't speak at all.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Chengqian felt a little distressed.
"how?"
"You don't want me to leave?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with him outside.
When he goes out, he only plays an inspiring role.
Of course, what he wants to go to now is the military camp.
Because there are still several assassins who are being interrogated.
He also really wanted to know who wasted such a big effort to assassinate him.
Is it Li Tai? Or Li Ke?
Or was it Sun Wucheng who he had offended at the moment?
"I……"
"I'm just a little scared..."
Looking at Su Qingling's appearance, Li Chengqian couldn't help but feel a little funny, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved.
Su Qingling was certainly dignified and gentle in front of outsiders.
But after all, she is still a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Li Chengqian sighed softly and said, "I really can't do anything with you, so I'll wait until daybreak before I leave."
"but……"
Li Chengqian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Call Wanjie over, I will guard you two."
"good!"
Su Qingling agreed happily.
Now, let alone the man who shares himself with Lu Wanjie.
As long as Li Chengqian didn't leave, she wouldn't say anything else even if he called all the warblers in the house.
This was enough to show that she was really frightened.
Not long after, Lu Wanjie walked into the room.
Li Chengqian let the two girls sleep on the same bed, while he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the two girls quietly.
And because of his presence, the two girls fell asleep quickly and slept very sweetly.
Saw two people sleeping soundly.
Li Chengqian slowly stood up and walked quietly towards the door.
When he reached the door of the room, he looked back at the two girls and saw that they were both asleep, and then walked out of the room...
