"Okay, there are so many delicious foods in the kitchen, let Uncle Xiao bring me some cakes? Wait, I'll eat them all for you."

Yun Qi murmured while stuffing it into his mouth.

At this time, the sound of servants talking came from outside the kitchen. Yun Qi paused, then stopped what he was doing and listened to them quietly.

"There are guests in the palace today, and His Highness asked us to entertain them well."

"Who is the guest?"

"I haven't seen him. He looks unfamiliar, but I heard he's the nephew of a high official in the court. Maybe he's a friend of Your Highness."

Yunqi was so absorbed in listening that he resumed chewing without realizing it.

Shangshu's nephew? Who is he? Could it be He Yuan?

As he read on, Yunqi fell into memories.

As the "bodyguard" personally appointed by the Queen, he had been with Ling Junyan since he was very young. At that time in the palace, Ling Junyan seemed to be quite close to the child of a minister.

That child entered the palace as a companion, but he only stayed there for half a year. When did their relationship become so good?

Yunqi swallowed the food in one gulp and picked up some more food with chopsticks. His movements were so skillful that he even forgot he was eavesdropping.

He was immersed in thinking when suddenly, his head started to hurt as if it was pricked by a needle. Yun Qi's hand shook and the chopsticks fell to the ground in an instant. He subconsciously covered his head with his hands and supported himself on the edge of the stove with his other hand.

"What's going on here..."

Yunqi was in so much pain that he could hardly see clearly. He banged his head hard twice.

The people outside heard the noise and approached cautiously.

As soon as they entered the door, Yunqi's mind suddenly became clear.

"Master Yun Qi?" One of them saw that it was him and shouted.

The pain subsided, and Yun Qi took a deep breath. He turned his head to look at the door, his voice still a little weak, "You are also miracle doctors."

"ah?"

The two maids looked at each other, confused.

Yun Qi straightened up and said, "It's okay, but I think you'll have to cook this dish again."

After saying that, Yun Qi smiled sheepishly and added, "I ate it."

"Oh, it's okay, this is..."

Before the maid could finish, Yun Qi interrupted, "I have something else to do, so I won't delay you. Don't worry, Ling Junyan won't punish you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Qi walked out.

They looked at his back, and the maid naturally told the rest of the words to another maid.

"This was originally prepared for him."

"And for some reason, His Highness ordered that the dishes we prepare later must not be more sumptuous than what we just prepared. I really don't understand..."

Another maid echoed: "I don't understand."

As a result, the two hardworking, capable and gossip-averse little girls became a beautiful landscape in Prince Sheng's Mansion, and are expected to become the best helpers in ending all the evil "rumors"!

Yun Qi only now realized that what he had just said was simply forced into his brain.

He knew it again.

This is not just a simple nephew, this is the second male lead He Qian'an!

He was childhood sweethearts with Xu Qingchi, and later commanded a large army, but he rebelled. Later, Ling Junyan became the emperor and wiped him out.

The three words "kill all at once" seem simple, but in fact they are not simple at all. Ling Junyan also used a fighting method that hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

There are reasons for having a headache, and now we all know the ending.

Yun Qi felt that it was really necessary to observe this person carefully at this moment. After all, no one knew when he would have the intention to rebel. If he already had it now, it would not hurt to inform Ling Junyan and let him be on guard.

So Yunqi appeared in the flower hall of the palace where Ling Junyan arranged to receive He Jingyi.

And the kind that does it in a swaggering manner.

Yunqi had already thought of the opening remarks, but He Qianan did not play by the rules.

"Is this Yunqi?"

Yun Qi: “…” You recognized it so easily?!

Looking back at He Qi'an's inquiring gaze, Yun Qi could only smile, "Master He, do you still remember me?"

"Of course." He Qian said with a smile.

He Qian'an can be considered a man with a gentle appearance, with delicate features, gentle manners and his eyes seem to shine when he smiles.

It is said that this guy will lead tens of thousands of troops to rebel in the future. If Yun Qi did not have the ability to predict it in advance, no one would believe it. I just don't know whether Ling Jun believes it or not.

On the other side, Ling Junyan's eyes dimmed a little when he heard it. He stood up and took a few steps forward, standing between them, covering half of Yun Qi's body.

Yun Qi frowned and looked up and down at his back, thinking that he was standing in a bad position, so he consciously took a step to the side, revealing himself again. As a result, Ling Junyan also followed suit and took a step forward. It was as if he had not moved at all...

He did it on purpose!

Yun Qi was too disdainful to argue with this vengeful man. He could stand wherever he wanted. So let it be. He would have to sit down soon anyway.

Ling Junyan temporarily ignored the feelings and thoughts of the people behind him. He looked at He Qi'an and said, "Yun Qi probably wants to report something to me. Mr. He, please ignore him and take a seat."

Ling Junyan originally wanted to wait until He Qi'an sat down before letting Yun Qi leave first.

But He Qi'an said, "How can I ignore him? After all, we've known each other since childhood. I still remember when he was just a little kid, following you everywhere. When someone was trying to cause trouble, he was obviously scared, but he would still stand in front of you with his teeth bared, trying to scare them away. Your Highness, don't forget this friendship."

Yunqi really wanted to curse. If he wants to say something nice, just say it nicely. Don’t bring up the dark history, okay... bro!

Yun Qi was speechless.

Ling Junyan, on the other hand, was very calm. He said, "Of course I won't forget. After all, neither I nor Yun Qi could find you at that time, and he was the only one by my side. I just don't know where Mr. He saw our situation."

Yun Qi was completely convinced by his words at this moment, and his eyes changed from helplessness to admiration in an instant.

He looked at the back of Ling Junyan's head and decided that he must praise him after this time. He made that expression because there were too many people on the opposite side and he didn't know anything at the time. Now that Ling Junyan said this, it turned out that He Qian'an and others were peeking at him from the corner.

Now I have finally cleared my name.

It seems that this stuff is indeed not a good thing.

He Qian'an's expression changed a bit, but he was still the second male lead and adjusted quickly.

He said leisurely, "I heard."
