"Lian Cheng, your leg is healed?"

Shan Ye's cold question was like a clap of thunder, instantly silencing the rowdy audience.

This was also the first thing that Yun Qixi was worried about when she first saw Shan Ye. After all, Shan Liancheng was so nimble when he saved her, who would believe that he was still a cripple?

Regarding the truth of the matter, other than Yun Qixi, Yun Chong should also be clear of the situation. Because she remembered that the last time they were saved, on the other side of the Nan Yang River, Shan Liancheng did not pretend to be crippled in front of Yun Chong. As for the others, they probably didn't know.

Imperial Concubine's attention was originally completely focused on Shan Liancheng's injuries. But now that Shan Ye asked her this, a distinct flash of happiness flashed across her face, and he grabbed onto his hand and roughly guessed something. The happiness slowly faded, and a trace of uncontrollable unease and nervousness appeared on her face.

At the foot of the mountain, the grass was so quiet that even the faint sound of the wind could be heard.

Not far away, the aura of the emperor Shan Ye gave the originally wide arena a suffocating pressure.

The Queen stood modestly by Shan Ye's side, her seemingly tranquil and indifferent expression revealing a hint of brilliance.

Shan Ziyin stood beside Shan Ye with his hands behind his back, listening to the Monarch's increasingly heavy breathing, as though a spring breeze had just brushed past his face, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Yun Lanyue stood very close to Shan Ziyin. She couldn't hide the pleased look on his face, she was pretending to be noble, as if he had picked up a golden treasure that everyone was fighting over.

Although Yun Qixi did not care about this gold treasure at all, she was still very proud.

Shan Liancheng used his body to prop himself up, and looked at Shan Ye from afar. His armless hand seemed to have been dragged out of the blood jar, and fresh blood flowed down from his fingertips drop by drop. It was as if he had gone through a brutal massacre. However, he did not look like he was in a sorry state at all. Instead, he looked a bit masculine and masculine.

This was the first time he looked straight into Shan Ye's eyes ever since he returned from the battle. His expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant. It was as if he would always be like this. Even if the sky were to collapse, he wouldn't panic.

What was he going to do? Admit that he was cheating on the king? Would the Emperor forgive him so easily? No.

"Royal Father …"

"Your majesty." The moment Shan Liancheng opened his mouth, Yun Qixi interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, it was this subject's daughter who healed Prince Jin's legs." Yun Qixi stood up, remained calm and steady as she said in a clear and loud voice.

When those words came out, she saw that Shan Ye's eyes had narrowed into a look of doubt. The empress was deep in thought and frowned slightly. Only Yun Lanyue raised her lips and laughed, because she knew that this phrase would only mean that Yun Qixi had dug a pit for herself.

With just Yun Lanyue's weak intelligence, how could she not think of this problem? If she didn't know any medical skills, she was the witness to Shan Liancheng's crime of deceiving the monarch. This was naturally the result that they, as princes, would be happy to see. If she knew medicine, then it would mean that she was not the original Yun Qixi.

This step seemed to mean that no matter how she walked, she would lose!

But she couldn't just sit by and watch Shan Liancheng get into a difficult situation. After all, he was only exposing himself to save her.

Although she was always on bad terms with him, she was not blind and knew that Shan Liancheng would help her a lot of times. Although she was very rich and still angry with him for that bit of silver, she knew what was wrong.

Thinking of this, Yun Qixi's heart also calmed down.

"Qixi, you cured Lian Cheng's leg?" Shan Ye asked curiously.

Yun Qixi nodded and replied with certainty, "Yes, Your Majesty, that's this subject's daughter."

"But, when did you learn medical skills? How come I didn't know about them?" The doubt in Shan Ye's eyes grew stronger.

Before Yun Qixi could answer, she heard Yun Lanyue laugh out loud, "That's right, Qixi, since young, you have always been outstanding, being proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy and painting, and being proficient in embroidery, I have never known of that. So, as the elder sister, you are actually proficient in medicine, how long has this happened?"

Sure enough, the moment Yun Lanyue opened her mouth, everyone's attention was focused on the identity. She tried several times to reveal her identity, but she refused to give up. Even if she didn't have any solid evidence, she didn't want to give up any chance to suppress her.

Everyone looked towards Yun Qixi, some were curious, some had their doubts, and some were purely watching from the sidelines.

Shan Liancheng turned his head and looked at her deeply. His lips moved slightly, and his voice rang beside Yun Qixi's ears.

"You shouldn't have stood up." His voice was very calm, but it was not reprimanding. Instead, it was filled with a trace of helplessness.

While everyone was waiting for Yun Qixi's reply, she quietly looked him in the eye.

"You cannot bear the crime of bullying the monarch." Shan Liancheng's lips moved once again.

Only she could hear what he said. After hearing what she said, Yun Qixi actually smiled, her eyebrows raised with a hint of provocation and indifference. Thus, she saw Shan Liancheng's thick black eyes darken.

In reality, she only felt that it was laughable. Why was it that the two people who were usually incompatible like fire and water, at such a crucial moment, were actually thinking about each other for some inexplicable reason?

"Ahhh …" All of a sudden, a woman ran down the mountain screaming, attracting everyone's attention.

He saw a girl in a yellow robe rushing down the hill, hugging her head as she ran. Behind her was a dense mass of black objects.

As the woman got closer, the buzzing sound became louder.

"God, bees." A man screamed in panic.

The moment she shouted, everyone tensed up because the woman was leading the group of bees towards them.

The guards increased their vigilance and stood in front of Shan Ye to protect him, while the girls were so scared that their beautiful faces lost color, and retreated.

"Save me, aiyo, it's so painful. Third Brother, Fourth Brother, save me." The woman who was being chased by the bees kept shouting.

Imperial Concubine's expression froze as she stared at the woman and anxiously shouted, "It's a treasure! Heavens! Your Majesty, quickly save my treasure!"

Shan Ye's eyes darkened as he shouted, "Quick, hurry up and save the princess."

"Yes." The guards replied and rushed over, but did not dare to get too close, only brandishing their swords at the edge. However, the destructive power of the sword was of no use to the bees.

Just as Shan Liancheng was about to charge forward, Yun Chong stopped him.

"Prince Jin, you are injured. With that said, Yun Chong rushed out.

"Be careful." Yun Qixi shouted.

Yun Chong turned around and looked at him deeply. He nodded and turned around, then quickly ran over, taking off his outer robes as he ran, to welcome the princess who was rushing over.

"Princess, stand there and don't move." Yun Chong instructed.

Bao Zhu's body stopped, tightly holding his head, not moving anymore.

Immediately after, Yun Chong quickly took off his inner clothes.

"Bro, are you crazy?" Yun Lanyue shouted to Yun Chong.

One had to know that with such a large swarm of bees, these bodyguards did not dare to approach them. But not only did Yun Chong rush into the midst of the bees, he had even taken off his clothes.

The swarm of bees surrounded the two of them densely, and even those who were watching began to sweat for them. However, Yun Chong ignored the loud buzzing sound and took out a fire piston to burn his clothes.

Although the pearl was covered, her hearing was still there, and the buzzing sound was still in her ears. She could guess that there were countless bees flying around her, making her feel even more panicked as she couldn't see them. She could only cover her head and call out, "Don't bite me, don't bite me, I'm afraid of the pain."

Yun Chong threw the clothes that were being burnt towards the place where the bees were gathered, and the more he threw the clothes, the more it burned. With one hand, he swung his burning clothes, while the other held the trembling pearl, calmly saying, "Princess, don't be afraid, everything will be fine very soon."

Hearing this voice, the pearl gradually calmed down, and only perked up its ears, quietly listening to the noises outside.

Yun Chong's move was extremely effective, many bees were burnt to death, countless of burnt bees fell to the ground, and gradually, the buzzing sound became quieter and quieter.

Yun Chong threw away his clothes that were about to burn out, heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Princess, everything is fine now."

The pearl extended its hand to slowly unwrap the clothes on its head, as if it was afraid, and only timidly revealed its eyes.

These were a pair of very beautiful big eyes. However, at this moment, her head was wrapped in clothes. Only a pair of eyes peeked out from a slit, making her look really comical.

Her eyes were initially filled with fear when they were revealed, but when her gaze landed on the man in front of her, her eyes widened.

Staring at Yun Chong's upper body, she started to blush. Looking up, she saw a handsome and elegant face.

Was he the man who had first told her not to be afraid?

"Princess, are you alright?" Yun Chong asked.

The pearl loosened its grip on its clothes, gradually revealing its entire face. Although there were a few large bags on its face, it was still unable to conceal the elegance on its face. She looked at him dumbly and only lightly shook her head.

Yun Chong took off her clothes from his head, looked at the precious pearl's face, and frowned: "Princess, you're still stung?"

Jewel pursed her delicate lips, suddenly extending her small hand, touching his chest, and said with some distress, "You were also bitten by a bee."

The moment her fingers touched his chest, Yun Chong's heart skipped a beat.

"Princess, Princess Jewel, are you alright?" Many people gathered around to express their concern.

There was some shyness on Bao Zhu's red face, but her eyes did not reveal any shyness. She kept staring straight at Yun Chong, to the point that Yun Chong was embarrassed.

"Aiya, these are the empress's pearl bees." Suddenly, a person looked at the pile of bee corpses on the ground and shouted loudly.

Hearing that, Shan Ye was startled, but the empress's expression changed greatly.

Yun Qixi only found out about the Pearl Bee later on. The pearl wasps were a gift from the empress's elder brother when he left for the snowy plains. They were a very rare species. It is said that the honey produced by this pearl bee has a beauty effect. After taking it for a long time, the skin will become as white and smooth as a pearl, and it will also have the function of delaying aging.

In the whole court, this was the Empress's sole possession.

After so many years, the Pearl Bees were always raised in Yue Yue Manor, and were raised to be even more precious than humans. But now, they have become a pile of corpses.
