But before she could feel discouraged, a figure suddenly appeared in the darkness.

A silver light flashed in the man's hand, and the whole person was as fast as the wind, passing by several people.

A bloody line was suddenly cut on his body, and then blood splattered all over the sky.

The man shook the cloth in his hand and caught all the blood, preventing it from dripping onto Fang Qingyue's face.

After dealing with those people, he quickly took Fang Qingyue to the palace.

After hearing about this, Shen Yuhan rushed back from the Inspectorate as soon as possible.

After being brought back to the mansion, Fang Qingyue was still a little frightened.

The man put her down and was about to disappear into the darkness.

Fang Qingyue asked hurriedly, "Who are you?"

"I am the prince's secret guard, and I have been ordered to protect Miss Fang. The prince will be back soon. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

After saying this, he disappeared into the darkness.

Fang Qingyue sat on the soft stool, her heart still pounding wildly. Today's events had truly frightened her, and even the wounds on her body seemed to no longer hurt.

When Shen Yuhan came back, he saw Fang Qingyue sitting on a soft stool in a daze.

There were several small wounds on her neck and hands, bleeding. Seeing her like this, Shen Yuhan felt distressed and frightened. He stepped forward and hugged Fang Qingyue in his arms.

The warm embrace finally brought Fang Qingyue back to her senses.

Shen Yuhan carefully checked the wounds on her body again and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that they were not serious.

He went to get the ointment and applied it to Fang Qingyue.

His movements were extremely careful, as if he was afraid of hurting Fang Qingyue.

Fang Qingyue lowered her head and managed to utter a sentence after a long while: "When did you arrange secret guards around me?"

She hadn't known about this before.

Thinking about what she said to Fang Chiyue in private, she wondered if Shen Yuhan's men had heard it.

"When the Minister of War first impeached me, I arranged for someone to protect you." Shen Yuhan didn't notice the hidden worry in Fang Qingyue's words, and said without looking up, "He impeached me, and he will definitely take action against you. If there is no one to protect you, I really can't rest assured."

His voice was gentle, but Fang Qingyue's heart sank.

Was she sent a few days ago? Doesn't that mean she can't hide her pregnancy anymore?

Thinking of this possibility, Fang Qingyue's breathing became much lighter.

Shen Yuhan had already applied the medicine to her. He looked up at Fang Qingyue and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't worry. My secret guards are very tight-lipped and won't delay your daily travel."

She's not worried about that!

During this period of time, the secret guard followed her, but she failed to detect his existence. She knew that the secret guard must have a way to hide himself.

Can……

If the secret guards heard what she discussed with Fang Chiyue, Shen Yuhan would probably be furious.

Now it seems that the secret guards don't know what she said to Fang Chiyue before. But what about the future?

"I don't want the secret guards to follow me." Fang Qingyue said unhappily, "Are you trying to protect my safety, or are you trying to monitor me and prevent me from doing anything that would upset you?"

She was indeed a little willful this time.

Shen Yuhan rarely saw her like this, so he said helplessly, "How could I possibly spy on you?"

He gently embraced Fang Qingyue and whispered soft words to her, completely lacking the decisive and ruthless demeanor of the Inspectorate's Chief. "This secret guard was indeed sent by me to protect you. As the Chief of the Inspectorate, I have many enemies in the court, many of whom want me dead. If you become associated with me, the dangers you will encounter will only increase, not decrease. I can't protect you all the time."

"If there were no secret guards to protect me, I wouldn't be able to let go of this worry. You can also pretend that the secret guards don't exist. If you want to talk to Chi Yue privately, just say whatever you want. You can even curse me behind my back. I won't bother with you."

Things have come to this point. If Fang Qingyue continues to make a fuss, it will seem like she is being willful.

She had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay."

Looking at her obedient appearance, Shen Yuhan couldn't help but pinch Fang Qingyue's chin and kiss her lips.

The kiss was gentle but not strong, making people almost indulge in it.

Until a voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, those people have been brought in. Do you want to interrogate them first?"

Shen Yuhan gently let go of Fang Qingyue and wiped the water stains from her red lips with his fingertips: "Guess who is behind this?"

"It's either Chen Qiu Nian or Li Junyi." A dark light flashed in Fang Qingyue's eyes.

That day, Shen Qiu Nian suspected that she was pregnant. He was not as easy to fool as Shen Yuhan.

"How about a bet?" Shen Yuhan said with a smile.

The "cold-faced devil" in the eyes of others now smiles so hard that it is not worth a penny.

"I bet that it was someone else who did it. If I win, how about you help me one more time today?" As he said that, Shen Yuhan hugged Fang Qingyue and let her sit in his arms, feeling the vibrant place.

Fang Qingyue's pretty face flushed red, she didn't understand how this person could be so shameless as to bet on such a thing.

But she nodded anyway.

This time, the assassin left a few people alive.

When the secret guards fought against the assassins, they only made them lose the ability to resist.

One of them was tied up and his jaw was removed, and he was thrown in front of Fang Qingyue and Shen Yuhan.

"Tell me the truth, who arranged for you to come here for today's incident?" The guard kicked the man hard and said viciously.
