"Say, why are you looking for Mrs. Li?" The voice of the person behind him rang, with a strong murderous intent mixed in the coldness.

"Don't, I, I have no malice." Qing Ning's tone was approaching begging for mercy. There was no way, my life was in someone's hands, and I couldn't admit defeat.

"Girl, I picked some dishes. Why don't you come out and cook with me!" Mrs. Li's voice sounded again outside the door, and the sword quickly took back. In the room, Qingning was the only one left, as if nothing had happened just now.

Qing Ning quickly calmed down and walked out as if nothing had happened. Is that person trying to protect Mrs. Li?

Outside the door, Mrs. Li has prepared the dishes to be cut. This scene is like a mother in her work!

Mother, a character that had never appeared in Qingning's world, made her yearn for it at this moment. She walked over by a trance, looked down at the table of dishes and said, "Madam Li, let me cook for you!"

Mrs. Li smiled happily. For many years, it has been since she was imprisoned in this Huayan Palace, which is three more terrifying than the cold palace. It is the first time that I have heard such words...

"Come on, girl, I'll teach you how to cook." When Mrs. Li said this, Qing Ning realized that maybe she was too nervous just now. Mrs. Li kept calling her "girl", and she was wearing men's clothing.

Is her outfit too bad? Or is Mrs. Li's gaze too sharp?

Qingning no longer thought about it and walked over to pick vegetables with Mrs. Li. The two of them had some tacit understanding and cooked together. They made every move and looked like a couple... mother and son.

But this scene, when it falls into someone's eyes, is the pain that blends into his heart. It is the yesterday he has walked through, the past he can't go back to.

It was already late at night when she came out of Huayan Palace. The man said that the palace should not be rushed around, so she chose to return to Jiangwan Palace early.

"Oh, you, you, you are too unreasonable." Qing Ning was walking when suddenly a delicate woman's voice came. Next, Concubine Du fell in front of her. I thought that she was teased by her during the day, so she was so angry that she came to take revenge again.

Before Qingning could pay attention to her, she stopped her movements by saying "Who?"

A group of imperial guards rushed over when they heard the sound. Five people were patrolling the night, and five people were in groups. Seeing the Du Guiren slumped on the ground, the imperial guards instinctively regarded Qing Ning, who they were not familiar with, as their enemy.

One imperial guard attacked first, and the other four surrounded him to help. The sound of fighting attracted more imperial guards, and they naturally chose to help their own people.

Qing Ning could only dodge frequently. After all, if there was a conflict with the imperial guards, she would not have to stay in the palace, let alone meet the emperor. The concern in her heart gradually made her fall in a disadvantage.

"Stop" a scolding came from somewhere, and stopped all the struggle.

Qing Ning looked up and said that it was the man in black again. His dress was the secret guard of the palace, so he naturally had the power to govern the imperial guards.

The man waved his hand and signaled the imperial guards to send Concubine Du back to the palace, and prepared to leave.

But when he turned around, he was stopped by the woman behind him.

"Stop" Qing Ning's voice was a little high, which attracted everyone's attention and made everyone's eyes turn to her.

She walked to the man step by step and raised her hand slowly. Her final goal was...his mask, not to mention the surrounding imperial guards, even she herself was frightened by this action.

Everyone knows that once the mask of the secret guard is taken off in front of others, it will no longer be a secret guard, which means death.

The surrounding imperial guards stared at the woman's hand motionless. Of course, Qing Ning knew that this was not possible, but the movements in the hand seemed to be out of touch with consciousness and could not stop...

She wanted to get closer, but closer, but it was not enough. "Ayu" her voice was extremely low, and she disappeared into the air as soon as she exited, but her mouth shape was very clear.

Her trembling hands showed her panic. The eyes of her first meeting him today appeared again, which was even stronger than that, but if you admit your mistake, wouldn’t it be a waste of time to harm someone’s life?

The hand finally touched the cold mask. Without waiting for her to exert force, his hand tightly held her wrist, and his eyes hidden under the mask were inconspicuous, but the hand slowly pulled her hand down.

The man finally let her go and strode forward.

The surrounding imperial guards also quickly dispersed and continued their patrols.

Qing Ning walked back to Jiangwan Palace with restlessness. Since she came to Tianche, she felt that there had been people around her secretly protecting her, including the lights that illuminated the road for her that night. But why? It was like that just now...

When entering the palace gate, there was a noise behind me, and the fire was much brighter than before.

Qing Ning listened, and after a moment, he finally heard the noise of "catching assassins"

With a mentality that had nothing to do with me anyway, she stepped into the palace gate and walked back to the side hall where she lived. Today, too many things happened, and she no longer wanted to pay attention to these things.

But when she entered the hall, the scene she saw made her froze in place...

A slender man stood beside the bed in the room. His left arm was injured, and blood dripping from time to time flowed out of his fingers covering his wounds, almost about to fall to the ground.

The man had a handsome face, cold eyes, thin lips slightly curled, a high nose bridge, and a pair of peach blossom eyes, which looked very similar to Mu Ling.

After a closer look, the cold eyes faded away, and what is hidden is the simple clarity. What is it? Putting such a sharp disguise on this clarity?

Such a person's eyes hurt her heart inadvertently. Such eyes were like the one who was suffering day and night in Daibei Palace. It was like a hedgehog, erecting spikes all day long to protect herself. Even if she didn't want to, she had to do so.

With his eyebrows that were very similar to Mu Ling, his eyes were so similar to himself.

She knew he was an imperial guards searching for assassins everywhere, and she knew very well what she wanted to do...

"Hide" she said these three words without hesitation.

The man looked at her vigilantly and hesitated for a moment. Perhaps he saw the firmness in the woman's eyes, or perhaps he had no way to go except to believe in her.

At this moment, knocking on the door, she turned around and opened the door, and the five imperial guards were at the door

When the Imperial Guard A saw her salute, he explained: "Young Master Yan, an assassin has come to the palace. We are ordered to search and ask you to do something convenient."

"Assassin?" Qing Ning pretended to be a bad tone. "Why should you go into my room to search? Do you doubt that I can cover up?"

"Young Master Yan, we are just doing our work impartially. The emperor issued an order and hoped that you would not make things difficult for us." The Imperial Guard A said again.

"Turn out the emperor and suppress me, okay, search." Qingning's tone was still full of hostility.

But she still let go of the door and put five imperial guards in. She stood at the door and watched them search around the room. She knew that the person could hide himself well.

"How can there be blood here?" said the Imperial Guard B in shock.

Qing Ning panicked, then calmed down, used the machine ring that had been made a few days ago, and was cruel and quickly cut a three-inch-long hole on his left arm, and blood immediately went down his sleeves.

"Young Master, this blood..." The Imperial Guard A walked up to her and asked.

Qing Ning sneered, walked forward two steps, sat down at the table, his tone was slow, but with a threatening meaning, "Yes, isn't this blood just given by you?"
