Shen Zhi Qiao's face was flushed red as she shook her head. She looked up at Shen Zhi Qiao and smiled lightly. "Pang'er, I'm fine. Don't worry."

"It's really fine?" Tuoba asked uncertainly.

Shen Zhiqiao smiled, "I'm really fine …" Tuoba let out a sigh of relief, "That's good …" He glanced at his master and introduced him to Shen Zhiqiao, "Sister, he's my master, Ji Lanye."

His voice was filled with pride.

Shen Zhiqiao raised an eyebrow and looked at her little face. Her big round eyes were filled with pride and sparkle like a child flaunting her favorite object. The smile on her face deepened as she started to like this innocent little princess more and more.

Turning around, his gaze landed on Ji Lanye. He was also looking at her with an innocent look, but his eyes remained emotionless. He then slightly nodded towards her.

Then, he reached out his hand to rub Tuoba's hair, then pulled her to his side, looking at her with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Aiya, teacher, this bun of mine was easy for me to make in the morning. You've already messed it up …" Tuoba bit his lips and looked at him accusingly, "The older I get, the more annoying I get!"

"Tuoba Qi!" Ji Lanye slightly narrowed his eyes, then flicked his finger towards her fair forehead!

Tuoba hurriedly reached out his hand to cover his forehead, but the hand that was moving towards her forehead suddenly snapped off and heavily scratched towards her small nose.

Tuoba Ba immediately jumped far away, holding his nose in pain while glaring at him without saying a word.

Ji Lanye indifferently glanced at her, his eyes filled with a warm smile as he ignored her.

Shen Zhi Qiao looked at the interaction between master and disciple. Doubt appeared in his eyes. He pursed his lips but didn't say anything.

Tuoba glanced at Ji Lanye as he walked to Shen Zhi Qiao's side, affectionately taking her arm and saying, "Big sister, I heard that you're staying in the Black Blue Palace …" "Aren't you afraid?"

Actually, she had wanted to go see her since a long time ago, but her fear of the Blue Soul Palace had already sunk deep into her bones and she had never dared to go.

"At first, I was a little scared, but after a while, I felt that there was nothing to be afraid of." Shen Zhi Qiao answered honestly.

Moreover, the Black Blue Palace was quite far from the other palaces. It was very quiet and comfortable, so she liked it more and more.

Thinking of something, Shen Zhiqiao held her hand in the crook of her arm. "Pi'er, your elder sister asked you a question. Please answer me honestly."

Tuoba nodded seriously, "I promise you that I will speak my mind."

Shen Zhiqiao hesitantly glanced at Ji Lanye, then pulled Tuoba to the side and whispered, "Pi'er, how is your royal concubine sister-in-law now?"

Sister Wang?

Tuo Ba blinked his eyes. He was a bit confused, "Sister Wang Fei, what happened to you?"

Shen Zhiqiao paused for a second, then looked at Ji Lanye, who had already turned his back to him, and said, "Pi'er, aren't you living with your Ninth Brother?"

Tuoba nodded, then shook his head, "I was originally staying in the Royal Mansion, but I've been staying with my teacher these past few days and haven't returned to the Royal Mansion."

"…" Shen Zhi Qiao was discouraged, but his heart was getting more and more anxious.

Tuoba was a smart girl and could tell at a glance that something was wrong. He quickly asked, "Sister, did something happen to sister-in-law Wang?"

Shen Zhiqiao looked deeply at her. The concern and worry in her eyes didn't seem fake. Furthermore, it could be seen that even though she was a princess, she didn't have the slightest bit of bad temper. Instead, she was pure and clean.

Furthermore, she also urgently needed to know about Nan Yue. After considering it over and over again, she told her in detail about Nan Yue's situation.

After Tuoba heard this, he was enraged, "Nine brother is too much. No way, I'll go back now …"

Just as she was about to leave, Shen Zhiqiao pulled her back in time and reminded her, "Su'er, I'm very worried about Nan Yue. When you return to the Manor, you must bring me news of her, understand?"

Tuoba nodded fiercely, "Don't worry, sister. With me here, I won't let anything happen to my Royal Concubine sister-in-law."

Shen Zhiqiao nodded and earnestly said, "Pangzi, I'll leave everything to you!"

"Sister, don't say that. I like Sister Wangfei very much. Even if you didn't say it, if I knew, I wouldn't have sat by and let you off. Anyway, this time it's my ninth brother who has let Sister Wangfei down." "If he dares to do anything to my sister-in-law or the child in her womb, I'll ignore him from now on …" He stomped his feet and snorted, "I will just cut off all relations with him!"

After she finished speaking, she rushed towards the palace gate. After walking a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something and suddenly turned around, walking towards Ji Lanye and saying something to him. Ji Lanye seemed to have given her a few words of advice before she turned around and left.

She shook her head and was about to turn around and leave, but she couldn't help but stop and look at Ji Lanye, who was still looking in the direction that Tuoba Ye had left in.

He suddenly thought of Third Prince Ji Cang Ye and Thirteenth Prince Ji Lian Ye who had come from the Western Lion Country. He wondered what kind of relationship he had with the two of them.

Perhaps it was because he felt her gaze on him, but Ji Lanye's pupils suddenly bumped into hers. A hint of suspicion flashed across his clear eyes, and in an instant, he gave her a faint nod before walking towards the other side of the bridge.

Shen Zhi Qiao shook her head. Right now, she had enough things on her mind, so she didn't want to add more.

He then walked towards the Black Blue Palace.

After returning to the Soul Orchid Palace, Shen Zhiqiao had been anxiously waiting for news from Tuoba Wa. He had waited from morning until the afternoon of the next day, but had yet to receive any news from her.

Feeling a little impatient, she quickly walked out of the room, walked to the entrance of the hall and looked outside. However, she didn't see Tuoba Hao. She bit her lips in frustration and restlessly walked back and forth on the path.

He turned south and led the palace maids in carrying their meals in. He saw her anxiously pacing back and forth, frowning. It was obvious without even thinking that she was worried about the person from King Rui's Estate.

He shook his head invisibly and waved towards the south, "Put your things on the table and get off."

All the palace maids answered yes in unison, then they filed into the hall, placed the meals in their proper places and left one by one.

He then slowly walked to Shen Zhi Qiao's side and whispered, "Miss, lunch is ready."

Shen Zhi Qiao sighed and waved his hand, "Just leave it. I don't want to eat it yet."

"Miss, if you really can't set your worries at rest, why don't you personally go find the emperor and beg for his permission to leave …"

"…" Shen Zhiqiao's footsteps paused. It wasn't that she hadn't thought of looking for him, but if she said she wasn't afraid of a joke, she really didn't dare to face him.

He looked up at the sky. He hadn't been here for three days.

He shook his head, turned his head and looked towards the south, then started to walk towards the house. "Let's go, have some food."

She decided that if she didn't hear from Tuoba Ji tonight, she would … Tomorrow! She was about to step onto the stone steps that led to her room when she heard a sound that made her want to punch him.

"Little Turtle …"
