"Now that I see you're okay, I feel relieved."

"At that time, I thought I would never see the emperor or Chen'er again, and I was very scared. Fortunately, Master Xiao Qin and Master Shen arrived in time and rescued me."

The emperor held the woman's hand tightly, his eyes gentle but firm, "I will definitely reward the two of you. Wu Guo, I will not let it go like this."

Lu Shian nodded slightly, "Your Majesty is wise. The Wu Kingdom wanted to kidnap me last time, but I didn't expect they would not give up..."

The emperor's eyes were stern, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and will not let my beloved concubine be hurt again."

At this time, a young eunuch beside him hurried over, bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, the two adults want to see you."

The emperor hurriedly said, "Hurry up and announce it."

Qin Qiubai and Shen Cuo bowed after entering the palace. The emperor said, "You two have done a great service in saving me this time. I will reward you generously. But I also want to know, have you found any clues about the mastermind behind this?"

Master Xiao Qin stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, we are investigating."

Li Hongting said without a doubt: "This time, we must remove all the secret agents of Wu State in Anjing."

"Yes."

Li Hongting looked at Shen Cuo again and said, "Sir Shen, I heard that you were the most seriously injured. You should go back and rest well first."

"Yes, Wei Chen accepts the order."

After coming out of Ganquan Palace, Shen Cuo could no longer hold on. However, Qin Qiubai saw his embarrassment and supported him and sent him out of the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, even Su Qianqian was waiting for him with a worried look on her face.

Seeing him come out, Su Qianqian hurried over to support the shaky Shen Cuo, and scolded: "Why are you fighting so hard, don't you want to die?"

Shen Cuo forced a smile and said, "Saving the queen is urgent. How can I save my life?"

Su Qianqian's eyes were red: "You are always like this, only thinking about others." As she said that, she carefully supported him and walked home.

After arriving home, Su Qianqian was busy decocting medicine and taking care of Shen Cuo, and she even fed him the medicine personally.

Watching Shen Cuo falling into a deep sleep, Su Qianqian couldn't help but reach out and touch his face.

She felt so deeply and passionately for him, but she couldn't express it...

She ran her fingertips over his thick eyebrows, strong nose, and thin lips in fascination.

In his sleep, Shen Cuo muttered: "Shian..."

Su Qianqian's hand paused at his lips, and her pair of infatuated eyes suddenly became clear, followed by hatred.

"I knew it, I knew it, you can't let her go, and I can't let her go at all."

"Lu Shian..."

She tried hard to suppress her hatred for Lu Shian. She told herself again and again that she was already married and posed no threat to her.

But now, her self-consolation was so ridiculous. Even if she got married, she was still in Shen Cuo's heart.

No, absolutely not. Shen Cuo is hers. She fell in love with Shen Cuo at first sight. Shen Cuo cannot like other women.

Even married women are not allowed.

Her eyes slowly fell on Shen Cuo's face, looking at his dry lips. She couldn't help but slowly lower her head.

Perhaps it was the natural sensitivity of a martial artist. When Su Qianqian was about to touch him, Shen Cuo Mengran opened his eyes, looked at Su Qianqian's face so close to him, and sat up straight.

Su Qianqian explained without blushing, "I heard you talking in your sleep, so I wanted to get closer to listen to what you said."

Shen Cuo coughed lightly: "Thank you for taking care of me. I feel much better after taking the medicine. You can go back now and don't let your family worry."

However, Su Qianqian was unwilling to leave like this.

She said in a low voice: "You called her name."

Shen Cuo frowned and said nothing. He was trying to make sure who Su Qianqian was talking about.

Su Qianqian bit her lip, her eyes full of grievance, "She's already married, and you still won't let her go? You know her current status is not something you can expect. If the emperor finds out, you'll be dead for sure."

Shen Cuo frowned. Did he just call out her name involuntarily?

"Qianqian, please don't say such things again. The Empress and I only respect each other."

Su Qianqian sneered, "Respect? Can you fool yourself?"

Shen Cuo was speechless for a moment. Su Qianqian took a deep breath and suppressed the jealousy in her heart, "Brother, I said this for your own good. She doesn't care about your life or death. There are people who care about your life or death."

"Qianqian, don't talk nonsense. What is the Queen's identity? What is my identity? We have never crossed the line."

"really?"

"Qianqian, she is my savior. Protecting her is just a way of repaying her."

"Is that right?"

"That's it. She and I are innocent and have never crossed the line. I am worthy of both heaven and earth."

Seeing Shen Cuo say this, Su Qianqian slowly smiled and said, "I feel relieved in this case. Brother, you take a rest first. I will come to see you tomorrow." After saying that, she turned around and left quickly.

Shen Cuo looked at her departing back, feeling mixed emotions.

Looking at Su Qianqian's departing back, Shen Cuo slowly closed his eyes. He knew very well what Su Qianqian was doing just now.

He secretly made up his mind to keep his distance from Su Qianqian in the future.

Ganquan Palace.

Que'er and Xi'er were finally able to have a good chat with Lu Shi'an.

They both knelt in front of Lu Shian.

"My lady, I deserve to die. Please punish me."

"My lady, I deserve to die. Please punish me."

Lu Shian took off the pendant from his ear and put it in Lu'er's hand, then said to the two people: "Okay, get up quickly, I'm fine now."

Que'er said with red eyes: "It was because I failed to protect the Majesty that the Majesty fell into such danger."

Lu Shian chuckled: "Girl, you are lucky enough to be able to protect yourself, but you still want to protect me."

Que'er lowered her head in shame: "I have also been practicing martial arts with Sister Lu'er recently."

Speaking of martial arts, Lu Shian thought of Yinzhu again.

Liu Sheng is a spy, so what should we do with Yinzhu?

Thinking about his best sister encountering such a terrible thing, Lu Shian suddenly lost his mood.

"Don't feel guilty, both of you. Go and boil some water for me. I'm going to take a good bath tonight."

When the two little girls heard this, they immediately got up from the ground.

Que'er: "I will go now."

Xier: "I will go too."

The hot water wasn't ready yet and Chen'er started crying again.

The nurse quickly picked up the child and said, "Don't cry, little prince. Be good, little prince."

Lu Shian also quickly stood up and ran over, taking Chen'er from the nurse's arms: "Mother is here, mother is here, Chen'er don't cry, Chen'er don't cry."

But no matter how Lu Shian tried to coax him, Chen'er just kept crying. Seeing him crying at the top of his lungs, Lu Shian felt very distressed.

"What on earth happened while I was gone?"

The wet nurse's eyes turned red with heartache. Chen'er was so cute that she coaxed him every day. Seeing him like this, she felt sad.
