"You can't stay by my side all your life, can you?"

Qin Feng's tone carried a tinge of mysterious and complicated emotions as she looked at Qin Chen with a gentle gaze.

Hearing this, the smart girl naturally knew what Qin Feng meant, but Qin Chen's face still carried a cold and indifferent expression.

"Returning to the empress, Qin Chen only wants to protect the empress for the rest of her life."

The first time Qin Chen had met her, she had already decided that she would protect Qin Feng for the rest of her life after receiving Xuanyuan Zhiling's orders.

"Silly girl, you can't lose the emotions you should have just because of me."

After Qin Feng finished speaking, under Qin Chen's protection, she walked into her own bedchamber.

At night, the entire Imperial City was enveloped by a curtain of night, and only the bright moon remained hanging in the sky. Qin Feng stood alone by the window, watching the bright moon.

Ever since they had entered the Imperial Palace, Qin Feng and Xuanyuan Zhiling hadn't known each other for a long time. Because she was the queen of this world, her freedom had naturally been restricted.

It was not the first time Qin Feng viewed the moon alone.

When a black figure suddenly flashed past Qin Feng's eyes, he was so scared that his heart almost jumped out.

"Who?!"

Qin Feng suddenly retreated back, her expression instantly becoming tense, as an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Qin Chen rushed to the front of Qin Feng's eyes with the fastest speed possible when she heard this, and her face was filled with vigilance and coldness.

"empress, what happened?"

Qin Chen asked nervously, her expression becoming more gloomy.

Qin Feng let out a deep sigh, as if she was trying to ease the tense mood just now.

"Just now, a black shadow flashed before my eyes. I have a feeling that this person is not someone from the palace."

Qin Feng's voice trembled slightly as she tightly clenched her fist.

"Of course they're not from the palace. If they really are from the palace, then is there a need to be so sneaky?"

Qin Chen said with certainty, her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as she examined her surroundings.

"empress, for safety's sake, Qin Chen requested that you protect empress's body tonight in case something bad happens to him."

When Qin Chen said this, her face was determined and ice-cold, but even more so, she was vigilant.

"Alright, looks like that's the only way."

When Qin Feng said this, her expression carried a little helplessness. She had a kind of premonition that this black shadow should be that Song Mingzhi from earlier in the day.

"Thank you, empress."

Deep into the night, Qin Feng was lying on the phoenix couch. Tonight, Xuanyuan Zhiling was going to recount his report so he could not come back to accompany Qin Feng.

A group of palace maids holding palace lanterns walked past the window from time to time. In the past, Qin Feng had thought that this was nothing, but now, looking at the reflection of the palace maids reflected on the window paper, she felt slightly apprehensive.

Qin Feng did not know how she fell asleep that night. At daybreak, she had already decided to leave the palace to relax.

"empress is going to send you out of the palace? Should we ask the Emperor for his opinion? "

Qin Chen's voice was cold, but it carried a hint of seriousness.

Qin Feng sighed lightly. After becoming the Empress, her freedom had truly been restricted.

"Why do you need to ask for his opinion? We'll just leave after disguising ourselves for a bit. No need to waste any more words."

When Qin Feng said this, his eyes were firm, and Qin Chen could only listen to her orders, the two of them had already prepared a set of clothes for the commoners, dressed like a young miss.

Qin Feng looked at herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing a pink tasseled dress with a simple golden hairpin on her head. Compared to the Queen's dignified and elegant outfit earlier, the current set of clothes looked simple, but it was fresher.

"How is it? I'm not bad, am I? "

As Qin Feng spoke, her face blossomed into a smile. Ever since she became the Queen, Qin Feng rarely smiled so happily anymore.

"The empress is a motherly world, everything is beautiful. She is unmatched in beauty."

As Qin Chen spoke, she remained respectful as before. When Qin Feng saw Qin Chen's appearance, she let out a helpless sigh.

"Qin Chen, remember, once you leave the palace, you will not be able to call me empress anymore. You have to call me miss. "

The moment Qin Feng said this, she lowered her head and admitted her wrongs.

"Yes, Qin Chen will remember this, Miss."

On the streets filled with crowds of people, Qin Feng and Qin Chen disguised themselves as master and servant and went shopping together.

"Qin Chen, look at those jewelry, they're really beautiful."

Qin Feng excitedly ran towards the jewelry seller's stall, and of course, Qin Chen didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest as she followed to protect Qin Feng.

"Young, Young Miss, the jewelry in our mansion is a thousand times better than this. Moreover, if Master finds out, it would be hard to explain."

Qin Chen's words made the excited Qin Feng's face instantly turn cold.

"If, if he really finds out that we secretly ran out, then we'll be in big trouble."

Qin Feng held the jade hairpin in her hand, and her face was filled with pain. She really liked this jade hairpin, but hearing Qin Chen's words, she knew that she wouldn't be able to buy this jade hairpin.

Qin Feng let out a light sigh, and helplessly put down the jade hairpin in her hand.

"Do you know how painful it is for women to only look and not buy when they go shopping?"

When Qin Feng said this, her face was full of helplessness, and her mood as a shopkeeper became much lower.

"Miss, there's nothing we can do. If Miss still wants to buy something in the future, you can't."

Qin Chen's face was ice-cold. Towards this kind of woman's innate hobby, she did not have it, because her greatest mission was to protect Qin Feng.

"Well, that's the only way."

Qin Feng continued to shop with Qin Chen, all the way without noticing anything abnormal.

However, right after Qin Feng and Qin Chen walked over, a handsome man wearing a black robe walked to the jewelry store and picked up the jade hairpin that Qin Feng had her eyes on.

"Boss, how much is this hairpin?"

There was a hint of icy gentleness in the man's deep voice.

"I want this hairpin."

The man bought the hairpin, but Qin Feng and Qin Chen didn't know anything about it.

The sky gradually darkened, Qin Feng and Qin Chen were also tired, they knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling was about to notice them, so the two of them ran back to the palace in a hurry.

When they ran into the empress's bedchamber, both Qin Feng and Qin Chen's faces instantly froze. It was as if the air in the entire bedchamber had congealed in an instant.

Because they saw Xuanyuan Zhiling sitting in front of Qin Feng right now, with a dark expression as he stared at Qin Feng and Qin Chen who had just hastily entered the room.

"Qin Chen, I told you to protect empress. Where did you take him?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's face was gloomy and cold, his eyes staring straight at Qin Chen.

"Your majesty, it's Qin Chen's fault. Please punish me!"

Qin Chen knelt on the ground without saying a word, her head lowered as she waited for Xuanyuan Zhiling's punishment.

Xuanyuan Zhiling turned around and glanced at Qin Feng. Laughing lightly, he asked, "Where did our empress go?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling said with a cold expression.

"I went shopping. I was too bored. Can't I go out for a walk?"

As he said till here, a trace of stubbornness appeared on Qin Feng's face, and his eyes fearlessly stared at Xuanyuan Zhiling.

"You are so confident. Don't you know that you have already become a queen? Do you know how dangerous it is for you to go out like this?! "

Xuanyuan Zhiling bellowed, his eyes staring straight at Qin Feng.

When Qin Feng heard this, she sneered, a complicated expression appearing on her face.

"There can't be a next time."

Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that he had not spent much time with Qin Feng and thus, he was somewhat in the wrong.

"My empress, if something goes wrong with you, what about Zhen?"

As Xuanyuan Zhiling said that, he pulled Qin Feng into her embrace, a complex expression appearing on her face.

"If something were to happen to me, wouldn't you be happier? That way, you can marry into the Three Palaces and Six Houses. "

Qin Feng rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Zhiling, and when she said this, Qin Feng pouted.

"Shh, you can't say that. You'll always be the only one in my world."

Xuanyuan Zhiling hugged Qin Feng as he thought back to everything that had happened. Xuanyuan Zhiling knew that he had neglected Qin Feng and the time he spent with him was simply too little.

"Qin Feng, I'm sorry. I know it's my fault, but I will definitely accompany you more in the future."

Xuanyuan Zhiling hugged Qin Feng even more tightly, and the two of them tightly embraced each other without any distance between them. It was precisely because of this that Qin Feng felt that he was sincere.

"Did you know that you left today? I noticed that you were not in bedchamber, so how anxious I was?"

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tone carried a tinge of throbbing, as if he still had a lingering fear when he thought back to the scene from before.

"Then, in the future, do you dare to leave me alone in the bedchamber?"

Qin Feng's tone contained a hint of menace, which meant that if Xuanyuan Zhiling didn't treat her well, she would still run outside of the palace.

Xuanyuan Zhiling naturally noticed the hidden meaning behind these words, and grabbed onto Qin Feng's shoulder tightly.

"If you dare run out again, I won't forgive you."

Xuanyuan Zhiling's tyrannical personality was once again revealed in front of Qin Feng's eyes, causing him to lightly sigh.

"You are truly overbearing. What should I do in this life?"

Qin Feng began to worry about him for the rest of her life. This Xuanyuan Zhiling was really dangerous.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Zhiling gently frowned, his expression quickly becoming complicated.

"So you're regretting marrying me?"

As he spoke till here, Xuanyuan Zhiling's expression had already become somewhat ugly.

Qin Feng knew that Xuanyuan Zhiling was serious and chuckled. She jumped up and gave Xuanyuan Zhiling a light kiss on the cheek.

"Good, but even if you regret it, it will be too late. You are already mine, and you will never be able to run away."

As he said that, Xuanyuan Zhiling's face revealed a proud expression.

"I said you're overbearing, but you're getting more and more excited. If I really want to leave, can you stop me?"

Qin Feng rolled her eyes at Xuanyuan Zhiling, and said mischievously.

"Can't I stop you? Why don't you try it? "

Xuanyuan Zhiling stared intently at Qin Feng, a complicated expression on his face. At this time, Xuanyuan Zhiling's eyes held a hint of lust.

"If you want to try, then go ahead. Otherwise, don't regret it."

Qin Feng faintly said, but before she could finish, Xuanyuan Zhiling's lips moved closer, tightly covering Qin Feng's lips.

"Ugh …"

Qin Feng's words turned into a panicked exclamation and was swallowed back.

"Don't speak. Be quiet or else you will be punished."

Xuanyuan Zhiling said lightly, but his expression was a little more dubious.

"What punishment?"

Qin Feng asked curiously, her breathing was getting more hurried.

"What punishment? You'll know soon enough. "

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed sinisterly as he hugged Qin Feng and took a whiff of her scent.

Qin Feng seemed to have realized something and her face flushed slightly, but it was already too late.

The moment she was thrown onto the bed, Qin Feng's breathing became even more hurried. Even with her fast heartbeat, Qin Feng was already finding it hard to endure.

"What is it? It's been so many times but you still feel nervous? "

Xuanyuan Zhiling laughed sinisterly, a trace of intense desire on his face.

"Tell me, what did you do in the day?"

The tone of Xuanyuan Zhiling's body that was pressing down on Qin Feng revealed traces of complicated emotions, but his gaze was sharp.

"He went shopping. What else do you want to ask?"

Qin Feng said helplessly, as she allowed Xuanyuan Zhiling to take off his outer robes and kiss her beautiful neck.
