After I traveled through the book, I became the favorite of the cold and indifferent prince.

Si Jinchen looked at her, frowned with some distress, and said softly: "This incident happened too suddenly, we were all caught off guard, and two groups of assassins suddenly appeared today, and no one knows what they did. Don't blame yourself, and don't worry about getting me involved. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Yan Qingwan raised her head and looked into his eyes, tears glistening in her eyes.

Si Jinchen gently wiped away the tears from her eyes and said softly: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth of this matter and give you an explanation."

Yan Qingwan nodded, feeling a little nervous.

The incident happened suddenly. When she was changing clothes in the morning, she asked two people to go out. One went to find Zhao Shuhan, and the other went to find Yan Qingchen's servant.

I originally thought that it was just in case there were too many assassins and something unexpected happened.

As expected, an accident really happened.

Now we can only take it one step at a time and hope that things have been handled properly.

In fact, the person who surprised Yan Qingwan the most was her third brother.

She never thought that it was her third brother who saved the emperor this time.

Could it be that because she told her father yesterday not to let Song Fangxun go to the mountains, her third brother took advantage of this opportunity?

Although it left an impression on the emperor, it was also good for the third brother's future career.

But seeing how serious the injury was, for her, it was she who indirectly harmed the third brother, causing him to be so seriously injured.

Yan Qingwan hugged Si Jinchen's waist, lowered his eyes slightly, and fell into regret.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and her brows furrowed.

I never noticed it before, but now I think about it carefully.

Since a few months ago, her third brother Yan Qingchen's words, actions, and the way he handled things seemed to have changed a lot compared to when she first arrived.

This change is difficult to describe in words. If I must describe it, I would say that the initial immaturity in him has disappeared, replaced by a kind of calmness.

What exactly happened to the third brother?

It made him change so much.

Yan Qingwan couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that Yan Qingwan's emotions had stabilized, Si Jinchen thought that there were still many things that needed to be dealt with, so he said goodbye to Yan Qingwan and left.

In the afternoon, someone came to convey the news that he would return to the capital early the next morning.

Yan Qingwan arranged for his men to pack clothes and various luggage.

When the sun was setting, she went to check on Yan Qingchen again. Seeing that he was still in a coma, she gave his servant a few more instructions.

He returned to the tent with a heavy heart.

Si Jinchen was indeed extremely busy. Yan Qingwan waited until late at night but still did not see him return, so he had to rest first.

The next day, before dawn, Yan Qingwan got up, but still could not see the other person.

Yan Qingwan still skillfully led everyone onto the carriage.

When they arrived, everyone's faces were filled with joy.

When they returned to the city, everyone's face looked gloomy and heavy due to the death of Princess Xian.

The journey back to the capital was uneventful.

After Yan Qingwan returned to the Eastern Palace, life became unusually peaceful and monotonous.

She stayed in the East Palace every day and seldom went out.

She only showed up once, when Princess Xian was buried.

In addition, every ten days, she would go to the palace to pay her respects to the Queen and the Queen Mother.

The prince still went out early and came back late every day, busy with government affairs.

Yan Qingchen had been recuperating in the mansion, and Yan Qingwan would occasionally receive news that his health had recovered well, which made him feel relaxed.

As time goes by, winter is gradually approaching.

The weather is getting colder, with biting winds and heavy snow.

The whole world was covered in silver and was pure white.

In the garden of the East Palace, clusters of red plum blossoms stand proudly in the snow, giving people a unique visual impact.

The glazed tiles and the yard were covered with white snow, as if covered by a layer of soft gauze.

In this cold season, it shows its unique charm, so beautiful that people can't help but be amazed.

In such an atmosphere, Yan Qingwan often sat in the warm room, leaning against the window, holding an ancient book in his hands, reading silently.

The snowflakes outside the window were falling, forming a sharp contrast with the tranquility inside the room.

Yan Qingwan watched for a while, and suddenly, she heard a creaking sound, followed by footsteps getting closer and closer.

Yan Qingwan looked up and saw Si Jinchen walking in.

She quickly stood up with a bright smile on her face, "Your Highness, why did you come back so early today?"

Si Jinchen first handed the hot water bottle in his hand to the palace maid beside him, and then Zhong Chengyi stepped forward and respectfully took off the cloak and ear warmers on the prince's head.

Then he stepped aside with a tactful look.

Si Jinchen walked up, took Yan Qingwan's hand, and sat down together.

His voice was low and gentle: "Everything has been dealt with almost completely, I just wanted to come back early to be with you."

Yan Qingwan smiled and picked up the warm tea on the coffee table, then took another cup and filled it eight-tenths full.

Then, she reached out her hand, handed the teacup to Si Jinchen, and said softly, "Your Highness, drink some tea to warm your body."

Si Jinchen responded, took the teacup and took a sip.

Then, he put down the teacup in his hand, his eyes fell on Yan Qingwan, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Ah Wan..."

Yan Qingwan looked at him suspiciously and asked softly, "Your Highness, what happened?"

After hesitating for a moment, Si Jinchen decided to tell her the truth and said, "The incident of the man in black in the Royal Hunting Park has been investigated."

Yan Qingwan's heart sank when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Who ordered this?"

Si Jinchen lowered his eyelids and said slowly: "It's the wise king."

Yan Qingwan was surprised and asked, "Wise King?"

Si Jinchen nodded and said affirmatively: "It's him."

Yan Qingwan frowned and asked in confusion: "Why would the virtuous king arrange assassins and kill his own queen?"

When Si Jinchen heard this, his face turned cold and he said directly: "His target is not his princess, but you."

Yan Qingwan widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.

Si Jinchen looked at A Wan who looked dumbfounded in front of him.

Explained: "I just wanted to attack you, so the virtuous princess came to our tent early in the morning to look for you."

Yan Qingwan nodded thoughtfully, his tone somewhat enlightened: "So that's why! I was wondering why I just arrived at the Royal Hunting Grounds that day.

Princess Xian's attitude towards me was lukewarm, but how come she suddenly became so enthusiastic towards me after just two days? I didn't think much about it at the time.

And we ran into Shu Han on the way there. I saw that Princess Xian's expression froze for a moment, and then she wanted to take us to the southwest. "

After saying this, she continued, "And when the virtuous princess was stabbed, she told me something, asking me to tell the virtuous prince that she had done something and that he should treat his son Zhao'er well."
