The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Li Qingyi thought that Wang Xuan would write to him specially, maybe she was going to do something big.

She was also mentally prepared, guessing that Wang Xuan probably wanted to resolve the matter before the New Year so that everyone could have a peaceful New Year and have a new start next year.

But Li Qingyi never expected that things would become so serious.

It was just one night's work. The night before, Li Qingyi attended classes as usual, thought about doing good deeds to gain merit, and had meals and slept with his parents and brothers.

When she woke up the next day, within just one morning, she felt that the sky had changed.

First, during the Chen hour, when Li Qingyi was taking a break from class, Fang Xin came in person to deliver a message - the Emperor had heard about the "Four Famous Constables" and was very impressed. Not only did he agree to the proposal of honorary constables, he also wanted to meet these four promising young men in person.

Less than half an hour later, Li Qingyi received news again that the Four Famous Detectives had entered the palace to claim their rewards.

Another quarter of an hour later, Li Qingyi was listening to Ren Qingming reciting Song Dynasty poems. It happened that they were talking about Yue Fei, the general whom Li Qingyi admired the most and felt the most sorry for. Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart.

She was stunned for a moment, touched her chest, and stared out the window in a daze.

Today is the day when Ren Qingming gives Li Qingyi a private lesson. In a one-on-one situation, any small movement of Li Qingyi will not be missed and soon attracted the other party's attention.

Ren Qingming paused his lecture, bent down slightly, and asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling unwell?"

Li Qingyi stared out the window for a long time before coming to his senses, "Huh?"

Ren Qingming followed her gaze and looked outside, then he was somewhat speechless: "So it's snowing, Your Highness, do you want to enjoy the snow?"

Li Qingyi: "Is it snowing?"

She repeated this sentence, and after a while she came back to her senses. She exclaimed softly, "The first snow came early this year."

Ren Qingming: "The weather has been getting colder in recent years. Fortunately, there are more ways to keep warm now. Otherwise, it would be hard for ordinary people to survive in winter."

Li Qingyi retracted his gaze and his eyes fell on the textbook in front of him. Every time he read the ink-colored "Man Jiang Hong: Writing Thoughts", he felt as if it had turned red.

She rubbed her brows and calmed down from that inexplicable emotion. "Sorry, teacher, I may not have rested well. I was a little distracted just now."

But in his heart, Li Qingyi was also suspicious.

If it was any other time, it would be fine. Although Li Qingyi would try her best to stay focused in class, it doesn't mean that she would never be distracted.

But today we are talking about Yue Fei, the deeds of General Yue that she never gets tired of hearing about. It is impossible for her to be distracted so suddenly that she doesn't know where she is going.

Ren Qingming: "It's okay. Your Highness has indeed been working hard recently. Why don't we stop here today and take a rest for a day or two?"

Li Qingyi shook his head: "It's okay. I admire General Yue very much and want to hear more about his deeds. Teacher, please continue."

Ren Qingming: "Your Highness, are you sure everything is alright?"

Li Qingyi nodded affirmatively.

Seeing this, Ren Qingming said nothing and started teaching again.

Fortunately, Li Qingyi stopped distracting himself and didn't notice the change of time until Ren Qingming said the get out of class was over.

At this time, before Li Qingyi had exchanged a few words with Ren Qingming, he noticed a figure standing quietly at the door out of the corner of his eye.

She was a little surprised: "Qinglian?"

Qinglian moved upon hearing the voice and stepped forward to salute.

Li Qingyi: "Get up, what's the matter?"

She paused, looked around, and asked, "Where's Aunt Fang Xin?"

Qinglian replied in a steady voice, "Just now we received news from the Qianqing Palace that there was an assassination attempt on the emperor's throne. Upon hearing the news, the Empress led troops to rescue the emperor. My aunt ordered us to stay here to protect His Highness."

"As for my aunt, she went to the Qianqing Palace to inquire about the situation."

Li Qingyi stood up suddenly: "What?"

Then, Li Qingyi questioned the system the next second: [Xiao Ba! What’s going on!]

System: [Host, don't worry. It's not a dangerous situation. The emperor and the empress are fine. No alarm has been triggered. So I followed your instructions and did not disturb your class.]

Hearing this, Li Qingyi was stunned.

What does this mean?

Just as Li Qingyi was about to ask, he heard hurried footsteps outside, followed by an urgent voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the Emperor has been assassinated and wants to see you! Go and see the Emperor!"

Hearing the voice, Li Qingyi moved slightly, but was stopped by someone.

When she turned her head, she saw that it was Ren Qingming who stopped her.

"Don't be in a hurry." Ren Qingming heard what Qinglian said before he could walk out. He was extremely surprised for a moment, but did not move.

At this moment, a voice that sounded very anxious came from outside, and at the same time there was some commotion outside, as if someone was stopping the man from coming in.

Many thoughts flashed through Ren Qingming's mind at once, but his body was faster than his thoughts and stopped Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi: "Teacher!?"

Just as he was about to ask, the system said to Li Qingyi: [Host, it's a trap.]

Li Qingyi paused.

System: [They want to trick you out, host, don’t go. ]

System: [Just stay here. There are people protecting you all around. You won't be in any danger.]

System: [Host, you must trust the Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince, and Wang Xuan.]

Li Qingyi's pupils contracted, and at this moment he heard the man outside shouting anxiously: "Don't stop me! I have something important to tell Your Highness! Your Highness! The Emperor was seriously injured by an assassin, and the Empress was also injured while blocking the knife to save the Emperor. The Emperor and the Empress want to see you for the last time! Your Highness, please go quickly..."

Li Qingyi: "..."

The teacher and the student looked at each other. Li Qingyi hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Uh... I'm actually not that stupid."

Having said that, Li Qingyi, who originally looked like he was about to leave, turned around and sat down in his seat, and ordered Qinglian: "Let someone arrest her first. There is no need for me to take the risk myself."

Qinglian remained calm from beginning to end. Hearing this, she responded softly and walked out.

Ren Qingming showed some hesitation, but after a moment he asked, "What did your Highness see?"

Li Qingyi: "I can see that someone is treating me like a fool."

Seeing a hint of doubt flash across Ren Qingming's face, Li Qingyi knew that she was probably missing some information and didn't understand why Li Qingyi suddenly said that.

Li Qingyi explained: "My father has secret guards. If there is any emergency, the secret guards should be the fastest."

Ren Qingming: “…Ah.”

Understood.

Li Qingyi propped up his chin, looked sideways at the snow outside the window, and sighed softly, "This is really a big deal."

There was actually someone who attempted to assassinate the emperor... If her father hadn't secretly pushed her, no one would believe it.
