It was too late for Leng Qiyue to catch her breath. She rolled on the ground like this and used her hands to protect her stomach, hoping that the child wouldn't fall off.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Yan Su hugging her nervously.

"Uh, thank you, Wood." Leng Qiyue quickly called out his nickname.

Sure enough, Yan Su's tensed up face slowly turned dark. He put Leng Qiyue down and bowed. "The situation is urgent. This servant has no choice but to touch the Empress's body. I ask the Empress to punish me."

Leng Qiyue thought to herself, "If he's not a log, then what is he? He saved me in such a dangerous situation, and now he even wants me to be punished. He's really a fool." However, she decided to tease Yan Su and said, "Yes, it's time to punish him. Why don't we cut off his arms?"

He didn't expect Yan Su to actually take out his saber and cut towards his left arm. Leng Qiyue was shocked and immediately grabbed his hand holding the saber and shouted, "Stop!"

Yan Su looked at Leng Qiyue without saying a word.

Leng Qiyue scolded, "You damned log, if I let you chop me up, would you chop me up?"

Yan Su finally spoke, "The Empress is the mistress. Your servant's life belongs to you, so whatever the mistress asks of me, I will do."

Leng Qiyue gave him a slap on the face, and roared like a small animal: "Idiot, idiot, your life is yours, how can you just give it up like that? Okay, okay, you said your life is mine, right? In the future, without my permission, you'll have to come back and ask me if I'll allow even the emperor to kill you. "

Yan Su was shocked by Leng Qiyue's expression. Her eyes were sparkling, were those tears? He had lived a lonely life, and no one would shed tears for him. This woman, who was so high and mighty, was actually crying for him. His heart felt like it was being gripped by something. He was out of breath, but he was also very comfortable. Why was that?

When Yan Su came back to his senses, Leng Qiyue's hand had already touched his face, and she asked gently, "Does it hurt? "I'm sorry."

Yan Su felt that soft, yet boneless hand covering his face. He didn't know what it was, but he felt panic in his heart. He took two steps back and escaped in a gorgeous manner. He even forgot to use his Qing Gong …

Leng Qiyue stood there awkwardly with one hand still hanging in the air. She said with a puzzled expression, "I'm not a monster, why are you running so fast?"

Han Liu walked out from the shadows and said, "Empress, Protector Yan has fallen in love with you."

"Ah?" "No way!" Leng Qiyue was shocked by her words.

Han Liu said, "Protector Yan's background is very miserable. His mother … It was a whore, so he didn't know who his father was. Although his mother was a prostitute, she was very chaste. In her entire life, there was only one man, the father, from guard Yan. When Guard Yan was a year old, his mother was beaten to death by the bawd because she refused to accept guests. The old procuress left them in the mountains, and the Yan bodyguard was lucky enough to be adopted by a female wolf. He was not brought home until he was ten years old by a man who walked a dart. "Later on, when guard Yan grew up and participated in the competition for the title of champion, it was a pity that the officials protected him. He was unable to obtain first place and thus became a guard in the palace."

"Wolf child?" An image of Yan protector covered in fur appeared in front of Leng Qiyue's eyes.

Han Liu continued, "The guards don't smile. All the palace maids avoid him. Only the Empress dares to approach him. From the looks of it, he has really fallen in love with the Empress."

Leng Qiyue said in a flustered manner, "No, he can't love me. I'll clearly explain it to her."

Han Liu held Leng Qiyue back and said, "Empress, there's nothing wrong with that!"

Leng Qiyue turned to look at her. There was nothing wrong with that? What does that mean?

Han Liu said, "The Yan guard has strong martial arts skills, is a cautious person and does things meticulously. He is a very good helper. "Now that he loves the Empress, he will do things for the Empress with unwavering determination, without a shred of hesitation!"

Leng Qiyue had an expression of disapproval as she said, "No way, aren't we using them?"

Han Liu laughed coldly. "Empress, isn't that person from the palace being used?"

A goosebumps rose all over her body. She still refuted, "No, Guard Yan is a good man. I can't delay his life. He should have his own happiness."

Han Liu released Leng Qiyue's hand and said, "Since Empress insisted, then this servant has nothing to say. "But this servant reminds Empress that those who are raised by wolves all have wolves in their bones. If you explain it clearly, his love and hatred might kill the Empress."

Leng Qiyue faintly smiled, "He wants to kill me, I definitely won't resist."

Han Liu sighed. "Very well, this servant will collect the Empress's corpse."

Leng Qiyue rolled her eyes and chased after Yan Su.

The palace was so big, and it was night now. She didn't even know where Yan Su had gone. She was confused and confused, but she got lost …

Leng Qiyue could not find her way back, so she could only climb up to the roof again, hoping to see the lanterns of the Moon Splendor Hall. When she reached the roof, she almost vomited blood. The black palace was almost exactly the same as the one before. Those with lanterns hung on the door with only red lights. One could only tell that it was a palace door, but not the Moon Flower Palace.

The night was getting deeper and the wind was getting colder. Leng Qiyue hugged her body and began to tremble, feeling extremely depressed. She somewhat regretfully ran out presumptuously.

The night in the palace was very quiet. The patrolling soldiers were all out for a walk, and there wasn't even a single match.

A gust of wind blew over, causing Leng Qiyue to shiver. Seeing an empty house not far away, she walked in. He had no idea what kind of palace this was, it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. However, the door inside was still quite sturdy. Leng Qiyue pushed the door but did not open it. She did not know if it was locked, but after feeling around for a bit, she found something that looked like paper. Under the moonlight, the door astonishingly was intersected with yellow seals. The words were indistinct, and it was unknown how long they had been stuck for. It had already rotted away, and with a touch, one's fingers would shatter.

Leng Qiyue mustered the courage to push on the door again. The door creaked open, and it was pitch black inside. Leng Qiyue hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether she should go in or not.

She looked around the yard. There were so many tiny roots. She went up and touched them with her hand. The cut was smooth. It should have been cut with a sharp weapon. Counting it, there were dozens of such roots in the yard. This must have been a shady courtyard, but why were these trees cut down?

"Meow …" A black cat scuttled out of the house and disappeared into the night …

Leng Qiyue was frightened to the point that her heart was beating wildly. She touched her Demon Subduing Ring but there was no reaction, making her heart feel at ease. If there were any monsters or monsters, the Demon Subduing Ring would be tightened. Since it didn't react, it meant that this place was very "clean".

"Damned cat, you scared me to death." Leng Qiyue mumbled to herself, then headed towards the house.
