Keep your voice down. Are you trying to look glamorous dressed as a forced lover?

Sannoye used to be elusive and different from ordinary people, and now Lan Jinna is also elusive, always choosing times when she is vulnerable.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Lan Jin asked, puzzled, and couldn't help but urge her.

Li Qingyan quietly reached her hand behind her back to cover the little bit of her buttocks that was exposed.

"Because I was... relieving myself."

Li Qingyan spoke, unable to suppress his gritted teeth: "Next time, even if it's an emergency, unless it's a matter of life and death, can you please not show up at this time?"

Lan Jin hesitated for a moment before finally noticing Li Qingyan sitting on the chamber pot.

He said, "Okay, then I'll ask you when you're done."

He appeared calm, but when he climbed out the window, his head hit the windowsill, and his face turned red as he turned around, revealing that he wasn't actually that calm.

Li Qingyan rubbed his forehead, and only after confirming that he had left did he quickly get up.

But Lan Jinna's sudden appearance this time left her with a bit of a psychological shadow. When she was changing clothes, she couldn't help but look around to make sure everything was okay before changing.

I'm afraid that if I take off my clothes, Lan Jin will pop out again.

Li Qingyan was originally feeling down and upset, but Lan Jin's interruption turned her into someone who didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After she changed her clothes and ate her breakfast absentmindedly, she thought Lan Jin wouldn't show up, but he pretended to visit her through the front door.

"Please come in, Lord Lan."

She made such a difficult decision that morning, but this meeting was a must.

The virtuous commoner was no longer a threat, but who knew if his extraordinary daughter had anything special about her? The emperor brought both the virtuous commoner and his daughter into the palace, partly to keep them under his watchful eye and partly to see if the child had anything special about her.

In his childhood, Xian Shuren was like a lucky koi fish, and all those who had ill intentions towards him were punished. When the emperor thought of those things and then thought about what Xian Shuren had done, he felt no affection for him, only full of vigilance.

She dared not be careless and told Li Qingyan that she should observe the child carefully.

Understanding children's unique characteristics is crucial for prevention. Only when they pose no threat can we get rid of them, and we must prevent them from developing inappropriately.

Currently, it is still unknown what is special about that child, and she would never allow Sannoye to take such a risk.

This time, she will definitely prevent Sannoh from getting into danger again by getting involved in these conflicts.

When Lan Jin came in, he was no different from usual, as if he had forgotten the previous embarrassment. However, after his eyes quickly swept over Li Qingyan's still somewhat red and swollen eyes, he dared not look at her a second time.

"Your Highness, if you need help resolving this problem, you can come to me."

The people from Gu Li were sent here to play a role.

"No need." Li Qingyan looked at Lan Jinna seriously: "Lan Jinna, I know your abilities, but messing with some people is very troublesome."

She then immediately added, "Of course, if anyone attacks you, fight back immediately. Whoever it is, if they want you dead, let them die!"

"Your safety is always the most important thing."

She tried her best to issue a cold warning, but the last sentence that came out of her mouth still betrayed her concern, worry, and fear.

Lan Jinna had been frowning because of her words, but upon hearing the last sentence, she couldn't help but look up.

"Your Highness..."

Li Qingyan intended to say to Lan Jin, "These are the rules of the Eastern Palace, you must abide by them, and don't just pop up randomly in the future."

"Let's go back now. I'll contact Lan Cejun if anything comes up."

Subconsciously, I'm told not to come over unnecessarily.

Lan Jinna understood, and he felt a tightness in his chest again.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just wanted to stick close to her and help her again. But then her attitude changed again, as if the person who had hugged and kissed him before wasn't her at all.

Let's go! She's so unpredictable, sometimes cold, sometimes hot. Is she a child? So moody!

He doesn't care!

He'll find her a tickling bug later!

Lan Jin walked away without looking back.

Li Qingyan's gaze remained fixed on him until she could no longer see him.

She exhaled.

Touching her still red and swollen eyes, she thought, I can't cry so easily anymore, and I can't let him notice when I get hurt.

Through the conversation just now, Li Qingyan made up her mind that she could no longer involve him in anything.

Otherwise, we may repeat the same mistakes.

She made things clear today and thought it through. Afterwards, she secretly sent more Black-Clad Guards to protect Sannoye, but from then on, the distance between her and him widened.

However, by evening, Li Qingyan couldn't resist sending a lot of things over.

"I can't let anyone feel that he doesn't have my favor or that he's being neglected."

Li Qingyan convinced himself of this, and then waved his hand, revealing all the things that Sannoye had liked before.

As for Lan Jinna, although she has no memory of it, she likes all these things very much.

"It seems that His Highness is aware that his mood swings are unpredictable and excessive."

He accepted it without hesitation.

He was still quite vain; those fabrics and silver ornaments, just like before, were casually mixed and matched by him, turning them into pieces of clothing and accessories that he liked.

Even the small gifts, food, and fruit that were delivered were all to Lan Jinna's liking.

Li Qingyan's attitude speaks for itself, and given that he had previously stayed at Shihe Palace, even if he didn't go to see Lan Jinna afterward, no one said that Lan Jinna was out of favor.

However, Li Qingyan never contacted Lan Jinna again, nor did he expose his disguise. Instead, he secretly had someone report Lan Jinna's schedule in detail.

This arrangement revealed a problem.

Li Qingyan didn't go to see Lan Jinna, but Lan Jinna came to see her again and again.

They always came quietly, and if the Black-Clad Guards hadn't been watching him closely, they wouldn't have noticed.

He hid in the shadows and observed Li Qingyan. Jing Feng said, "Lady Lan has a notebook that he takes out every day to write things down."

"While Lord Lan was bathing, I went to look at that book. The book contains all about His Highness, including His Highness's ticklishness, His Highness's little habits when he is happy, His Highness's appearance when he is unhappy, and His Highness's favorite foods."

"Blue Book Guy also drew some small portraits of His Highness... but they look like children."

Jingfeng almost burst out laughing when he saw it. He thought that Lan Cejun was really bold to draw all sorts of funny expressions on the prince, and they were all chubby little princes.

Yet, his painting was remarkably lifelike, making it instantly recognizable as His Highness and even endearing him to the eye.

Li Qingyan didn't expect that Sang Nuoye not only picked up his hobby of recording things, but even upgraded it, and even knew how to draw little portraits. She could roughly guess what he would draw, and she could also imagine how seriously he would draw.

But as I continue painting, am I going to fall in love with her again?

She couldn't help but smile slightly, a smile that was both sweet and a little worried.

"Did he follow us the whole time?"

Jingfeng: "They basically followed. When His Highness went to find Consort Wen, Consort Lan also followed, but he didn't take notes. He just watched. On the way back, he kicked pebbles. I saw that... he seemed a little unhappy."

Li Qingyan fell silent. Did Sannoye used to kick pebbles when she was unhappy? She didn't know.

She still remembered how Sannoye had acted when she said it was unfair, so when she met Wen Sheng, she didn't show any intimacy, afraid that Sannoye would sense it again.

Even so, Sannoh was still not very happy.

But she couldn't possibly dismiss the harem just because he was unhappy, and Wen Sheng and Ji Mingzheng weren't wrong either.

The issue is Song Qinian's procedures for leaving the palace, which are still stalled due to his passive resistance to work.
