Li Qiji looked at Guan Zhiyue and said, "Yue'er, are you alright?"

Guan Zhiyue shook her head repeatedly, "I have no problem with it, it's just that with your brother here, I can't go directly into the space."

Li Qiji nodded without speaking after hearing what Guan Zhiyue said. He actually wanted to say that his brother was fine, but after thinking about it, he decided that it was best for him and her to know about such a bizarre matter. If others knew, it would be easy for the news to leak out, which would be very dangerous for Guan Zhiyue.

"Okay, I understand. As long as you're all alright, that's good."

"I will find out the cause as soon as possible!"

Li Qiji assured him.

Guan Zhiyue suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Do you think these men in black were the same group from beginning to end?"

Li Qiji turned his head to look at Guan Zhiyue, wondering what she meant.

"What I mean is, were all these assassination attempts carried out by the same group of people?"

Li Qiji shook his head, "When we were watching the lantern festival outside the palace, the men in black that night were recruited by the concubines in the palace."

"However, I suspect that the men in black who went to Sihuangzhou and the men in black tonight might be the same group, but I don't have any solid evidence yet, so I'm not entirely sure."

"Okay, I understand!"

Guan Zhiyue sighed, not knowing how to describe it. She hadn't done anything from beginning to end!

How did I get myself into this mess? So many men in black are all here to cause me trouble!

"Am I just a magnet for trouble? Why do I keep running into men in black wherever I go?" Guan Zhiyue slumped her head back in the chair and yelled to the sky.

"What nonsense are you talking about! This was just a coincidence," Li Qiji comforted him.

Guan Zhiyue seemed to realize something and then said, "Are there any problems with the young masters, ladies, and noblewomen in the palace?"

Li Qiji said, "They're all fine, what could be wrong with them? These men in black are after you."

"In my opinion, they just want you."

Guan Zhiyue's eyes widened in shock upon hearing Li Qiji's words, and she even stood up from her chair, looking utterly incredulous.

"My God! Don't scare me! What could I possibly have that they would covet, that they would send so many men in black to capture me?" Guan Zhiyue was shocked.

The more Li Qiji thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He then said, "You probably don't know, but all the things you've researched are incredibly desirable."

Guan Zhiyue was speechless. All she wanted was to change her current environment, that is, to change the country she lived in. How did she end up attracting so many bad guys?

"Sigh, it's like they're making it impossible for people to survive."

"Should the party continue tonight? Let's go see Qi Shang!" Guan Zhiyue said to Li Qiji.

Li Qiji nodded, and then the two went to the next room, where they saw Li Qishang already lying on the bed, his upper body completely naked.

When Guan Zhiyue went in, the tips of Li Qishang's ears turned slightly red, which was just too cute.

"Sister-in-law, don't look!" Li Qishang saw Guan Zhiyue peeking out from behind Li Qiji.

Li Qishang has an amazing physique, with six-pack abs and a big chest. The little guy looks slim in clothes but muscular when he takes them off, he's simply a rare gem!

His skin was snow-white, unlike his brother's. Li Qiji's skin was a healthy color, but not a very yellow one; it was a slightly yellowish and slightly pale color.

He still looks very healthy. Guan Zhiyue has never understood why Li Qiji, who is so busy, still has eight-pack abs.

Li Qishang is a playboy who only has six-pack abs. There's no comparison!

However, Guan Zhiyue felt that the two brothers had very good genes, especially their handsome faces, which were quite good-looking.

Each has its own beauty and its own merits!

"Are you feeling any better?" Guan Zhiyue asked.

Li Qishang wished he could pull the blanket over his face right now; it was just too embarrassing, how could he let Yue'er see him?

"What's wrong? Is there something I can't see?"

Li Qiji: "..." I can take my clothes off for you to see.

Li Qishang: Sister-in-law, he's still a virgin!

When Guan Zhiyue saw Li Qishang's face turn from white to red in an instant, it was a very, very red. In a short while, not only his face turned red, but even his neck turned red.

"Hahaha, you two brothers are just too funny. Qi Shang, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't be laughing at this time." Guan Zhiyue raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying hard not to make a sound.

She swears she didn't mean it; she just thought Li Qishang was so adorable that she acted that way.

Li Qiji: "Alright, Qi Shang, you should focus on recovering from your injuries. We'll set off for the palace the day after tomorrow."

"Has this matter been thoroughly investigated?" Li Qishang asked.

Li Qiji shook his head and said, "No, all those who came today are assassins, so we can't find out anything for the time being."

"It seems we need to send more people to protect the Empress Dowager."

Li Qiji said, "You also think that these people are after Yue'er?"

Although Li Qishang wasn't entirely sure, he still nodded and said, "Yes, it's pretty close. After all, these people only appeared after my sister-in-law developed the sorghum seeds."

"This high-yield grain hasn't even been officially distributed to the people yet, and so many people are already eyeing it. It seems these people have been eyeing it for a long time."

"Brother, do you think it could be him?" Li Qishang suddenly thought of the person who was still on the border.

Li Qiji shook his head uncertainly and said, "It's hard to say. It might be, or it might not be. I'll send someone over there to investigate. If it really is, then there will definitely be a tough battle ahead."

As Guan Zhiyue watched the two brothers talk, she couldn't help but wonder what it was. Was it someone they knew, or someone they didn't know?

"So you mean someone's eyeing this high-yield grain?"

The two brothers replied to Guan Zhiyue's words, "Yes, you're right, so..."

"If that's the case, then our primary objective is to protect the high-yield grains in the back mountain of the Cold Palace and prevent them from stealing them?" Guan Zhiyue said, looking at the two of them.

"Yes, that's one of them. Another is your personal safety. If they can't steal the high-yield grain, they might target you, but you are the most likely candidate."

“If it were me, I would also choose you over the food that has already been researched!” Li Qiji analyzed.

Guan Zhiyue's expression at this moment was like, "What did I do to deserve this?"
