they wanted to say: Hmph! Dare to covet his little wife, are you looking for death!Everyone immediately knelt down.Qian Tingxuan cleared his throat and said, "By imperial decree, the betrothal between...“Your Highness, Miss Xiao is a kind person and has helped you a lot. It’s not wrong for you to be grateful to her, but she already has the Prince Consort and the Crown Prince by her side. Things are already chaotic enough.....” Lianxin quickly glanced at her master and instinctively fell silent. She knew there were some taboos that couldn't be touched.

“But she smiled so gently at me, didn't she” Qian Yi’an’s mind flashed with Xiao Yuge’s curved brows and eyes. She was the only one who truly smiled at him. Thinking of her tranquil sleeping face, the corner of his lips unconsciously curled up: She trusted him, didn't she

"But Your Highness, you are about to get married..." Lianxin was loyal and always served Qian Yi. Therefore, she knew best what her master cared about, but she worried that his obsession would only end in attachment in the end.

"Could it be that even you think I am not worthy of Ge'er" This was the thing he cared about most, the reason why he, with only a 20% chance of success, still stood up. In those endless years of disappointment, his heart had long been numb, no longer caring about others' eyes and words. But now, his heart had come alive again because of her, and he didn't want to give up, nor would he!

“Your Highness is a rare gem, how could you not be a match for Miss Xiao It’s just that Your Highness should also see, she doesn't like this palace. If you forcibly keep her here, one day, she will become the kind of person Your Highness dislikes the most.” Lianxin grew up in the palace and witnessed all sorts of faces. Even the simplest and most innocent people who entered this huge dye vat would eventually lose their true colors and be stained with various hues by the palace.

Lianxin's words left Qianyi silent. He understood the dangers of the palace better than anyone. His mind raced, picturing Ge'er's smiling face, her eyes crinkled at the corners. Lianxin was right; if they brought her into this palace now, she would slowly change, becoming someone she wasn't.

Therefore, before letting her enter the palace, he had to gain the right to speak. If in the entire harem, there was only her, how could she lose her true self

"Your Highness! I brought you medicine!"

At that moment, a woman's voice came from afar.

"Come in." Qian Yi'an exchanged a glance with Lian Xin, who understood. Lian Xin tidied up the things nearby and then pretended to be quietly watching military books.

"Your Highness!"

The door creaked open, and a beautiful young woman, dressed gracefully and elegantly, walked in slowly, holding a bowl of medicine. As she saw Qian Yi'an at the desk, a shy and radiant smile bloomed on her face.

Grand Harmony Hall.

"Chen'er, are you sure he can speak now" Seeing Chun Hansheng being carried up, pale and weak, the Emperor's brows were knitted together tightly.

"Father, although he can't speak a whole sentence now, he can still say it word by word." Qiansidu also knew that if they waited any longer, he wouldn't even be able to open his mouth, let alone speak a whole sentence.

The Emperor came before Qin Han Sheng, staring intently at him and asked, “Are you from the Lei Ting Pavilion”

Qin Han Sheng shook his head, perhaps for the first time in his life seeing the Emperor, his eyes were full of shock and anxiety.

"Do you know the Lei Ting Pavilion" the Emperor continued to ask.

“Yes...” Qin Hansheng spoke with great difficulty, just that one word seemed to drain him of all his strength. The pain almost came upon him all at once, his face contorted in agony, and his breathing became ragged.

"Old Doctor!" Qian Si Chen was afraid Qin Han would just lie there cold, so he quickly had the old doctor who came with them take a look.

The old doctor took out his silver needles and quickly stuck them all over Qin Hansheng's body. Soon, Qin Hansheng couldn't feel the pain anymore, and he stopped struggling.

Qian Si Chen finally let out a breath of relief, the stone that had been weighing on her heart finally falling.

And the Emperor continued to ask, “Where is Thunder Pavilion And who is its master” This was his most pressing concern.

Qin Han Sheng struggled to open his mouth: "I... I... don't... know..." He seemed to have exhausted all his strength in those few words, but that wasn't the answer the Emperor and his men wanted.

"What" The Emperor looked at Qian Sichin with a puzzled expression. Was this the person he said was of use

"What did you say Before you fell into a coma, didn't you say the three words 'Lei Ting Pavilion'" Qian Si Chen hadn't expected that after months of spending countless treasures and treating him like an ancestor, this was all he got in return A "I don't know" At this moment, Qian Si Chen even felt like strangling Qin Han Sheng.

The Emperor let out a cold snort, flicking his dragon sleeves, and turned away in disappointment.

"Thunder Pavilion..." Just then, Qin Hansheng spoke again.

"What did you say" The Emperor abruptly turned around. Hearing the words "Thunder Pavilion," everyone present subconsciously looked at Qin Hansheng. While the ancient physician had been supporting Qin Hansheng, no one noticed the fleeting panic in his eyes. Because, at this moment, all eyes were on Qin Hansheng.

"Red.......beautiful..." Qin Han's powerless finger twitched, as if trying to gesture something. However, suddenly, his eyes widened in shock, as if those two words had cost him all his strength. His head tilted, and he choked out his last breath!

"This..." The Emperor still hadn't recovered from the fact that he was dead.

The old physician hurriedly pricked the needle and felt the pulse, then shook his head, then knelt down there: “Your Majesty forgive me, Your Highness forgive me, this humble official is truly powerless...” That trembling appearance was as if he were terrified.

At this point, the Emperor could only sigh helplessly and order Qin Hansheng to be carried away. He also ordered an escort to see the old physician out of the palace.

The old doctor wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, a long sigh of relief escaping his lips. He had finally fulfilled his duty, but he failed to notice Thousand Thoughts Dust's covert glance at the guards; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so fortunate.

"Father, it's my fault that I am useless..." Qiansidun wore a look of frustration. After waiting for several months, he had received such disappointing results.

In contrast, the Emperor was much calmer: "Chen'er, you did nothing wrong in this matter. It's just that he was injured too badly. Although he didn't say where Leiting Pavilion was, it wasn't entirely without gain. He said two things before he died. Do you still remember"

Qian Si Chen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment: "Is it red, Xiu"

"Yes, it's the two characters 'Hong' and 'xiu'. We don't know what they represent right now. It could be a person's name, a place, or even an organization. Whatever it is, we need to investigate thoroughly!"

"Yes! This subordinate will immediately investigate anyone and anything related to the words "hong" and "xiu," be it names of people, places, or even a name of a martial arts organization!" Qian Sichin seemed to have received some revelation. The two words Qin Han uttered before his death might hold the key. darker, but it didn't detract from his dashing appearance. On the contrary, it added a touch of masculinity. He was tall and strong, with a dignified face and an air of bravery in his eyebrows. Espec...
