Ten years in prison is definitely a nightmare for students.

Chen Yin sighed, "I should also apologize to you for not informing you of my plans ahead of time. I was planning on having you develop the wrong potion. If there hadn't been a traitor, I would have found an opportunity to switch to the version I developed myself. But... they let me down, so I'm sorry that your efforts didn't yield the results you deserved."

Zhou Zetian quickly shook his head, "Your Highness, please don't say that. We have already received many things that do not belong to us, houses, bonuses, these are things we dare not even dream of. Let alone working hard for ten days, even if it is ten years, we can't afford a house in Kyoto."

"Yes! Your Highness, now we can finally bring our family members from other places over for a reunion."

Many people felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.

For most of the day, my mood was no different from being on a roller coaster. Looking back on it now, I still can't help but sweat.

Chen Yin chuckled, "Stop the polite talk. Go back and have a good rest. Come over for dinner tonight. Get ready and start your work on time in two days. From now on, you will be official pharmacists."

The group smiled and said goodbye.

Leaving Song Yu behind, he glanced at Qi Heng, his eyes fell on Shen Yin, his brows furrowed with thoughts.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry I failed to keep an eye on them and caused you such a big impact."

Song Yu felt very guilty. He was not good at these things. The palace was heavily guarded and he could not let the Song family members come in to keep an eye on the students, which led to such an oversight.

"Oh, I don't blame you. I chose you to be a target for them to hit. Just don't blame me. There's nothing worth apologizing for."

If we were to say who is the most purely non-profitable among these, it would definitely be Song Yu, who does it purely out of hobby.

He did not relax because of Shen Yin's words. He pondered for a long time and nodded: "I have made a note of it. Thank you, Your Highness, for pleading for us. I am very grateful."

After bowing like a gentleman and finally glancing at Qi Heng with a meaningful look, Song Yu turned and left.

Growing up in the Song family, he had seen how cold people's hearts were. A person as complex and contradictory as Qi Heng was obviously not someone that ordinary people could handle. He was ambitious, and although he hid it well, Song Yu was too familiar with that aura and eyes. He was a vicious wolf.

Chen Yin is raising a tiger to harm himself.

After everyone left, Chen Yin's smile faded, and she glanced at Qi Heng behind her, "Let's go back."

…

As soon as the two of them entered the house one after the other, Huo Xun and Gu Xingmang in the house could no longer sit still and surrounded Qi Heng.

Huo Xun's eyes were sharp. "Qi Heng, what you said in front of the Empress was false, wasn't it? From the very beginning, you were going after the potion. Don't lie to me. When you fought His Highness over the potion that day, don't tell me His Highness was playing along with you."

If Gu Xingmang hadn't had first-hand information and revealed it to Huo Xun, ensuring that Chen Yin was okay, he wouldn't have been sitting at home until now.

He really didn't expect that Qi Heng would betray Chen Yin.

Facing the two people's questioning, Qi Heng remained restrained, but when he looked at Chen Yin, there was a ripple in his eyes as cold as a pond.

"Why did you save me?"

Under the circumstances at that time, Chen Yin could have let the Empress deal with him.

He first teased her feelings, then demanded benefits and betrayed her. Any one of these points alone would be unforgivable for a female.

If it were Shen Qiangwei, she would definitely let the empress deal with him, no matter how handsome he was. In this disproportionate world, there is always a shortage of young and handsome males.

Chen Yin met the three people's questioning and complicated gazes, and wanted to slap himself.

Yes! Why? To upgrade to S-rank!

Of course, this cannot be said.

Chen Yin sighed deeply, turned his back, and pretended to be affectionate and a dog.

If being a dog licker is her life's destiny and the price is to upgrade to S-level, then she is willing to use being a dog licker as a protective color.

"Of course it's because I don't want to lose you. Yes, I usually say things that are not pleasant to the ears, and you may think I'm hypocritical, but to me, you three are all family. Even if I have to sacrifice myself, I won't sacrifice you."

The sound of the teeth aches.

They didn't need to think she was hypocritical, she couldn't stand it herself.

Chen Yin turned around.

"So, if I fail this time, will you divorce me in exchange for your freedom?"

Huo Xun's eyes were firm. "If Your Highness fails, I am willing to accompany Your Highness into exile at the border. If Your Highness is executed, I will strive to survive until I am strong enough to avenge you personally."

This is cruel and direct enough.

Chen Yin suppressed the corners of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock.

Gu Xingmang blinked. Wasn’t he originally questioning Chen Yin? How did it become their life-threatening question?

As proud as he is, it was rare for him not to be stubborn at such a moment, "Of course, I will accompany Your Highness to the end. As long as Your Highness does not turn into a vicious woman, I will be a beggar even if you become one!"

As if he had made some kind of determination, the capitalist's son hardened his heart.

The corner of Chen Yin's mouth twitched. "You are quite loyal. Don't worry, I won't let you become a beggar."

Compared to the two people's unreservedness, Qi Heng's silence revealed something strange.

His eyes flickered and his eyelashes drooped, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this moment, he had an inexplicable urge to be like them, to speak out his thoughts, and to follow Chen Yin forever.

But his parents, family, the environment he grew up in, and the ties and ambitions of more than 20 years all came rushing back at him, forcing him to remain rational and clear-headed.

If he failed, his father's second half of life would be doomed to misery.

"I'm sorry, I..."

Qi Heng, who always spoke dirty words, showed his fear for the first time in his life. Facing Chen Yin's face, he couldn't continue speaking no matter what.

After a pause, he turned and went upstairs, returning to his room as if escaping.

He locked the door, leaned his back against it, and without turning on the lights, all he could see was endless darkness. His figure slowly slid down and fell to the ground.

"What's wrong with him?"

Huo Xun and Gu Xingmang downstairs were very puzzled. Qi Heng's background was very clear, and his growing environment was similar to Huo Xun's, or even worse. Huo Xun's mental power was at least A-level, and his military rank was major, and the Huo family was the family of the first marshal.

On the contrary, the Qi family has fallen into decline, with only the title of marquis left, but with little money in their pockets, so they are determined to marry their son to a powerful and influential person to curry favor with him.

Huo Xun frowned, "Your Highness, I just received news that His Majesty specifically asked me to escort the medicine. I'm afraid I won't be back for more than half a year. I won't be able to take care of my family."

He was a little worried about Qi Heng, the disturbing factor.

After thinking about it, he didn't say it out loud. He planned to ask someone to investigate in detail what was going on and who bribed him to get the psychiatric drug.

Chen Yin nodded: "The Queen Mother probably wants to train you. If you do well this time, you will definitely be valued when you return. However, Chen Cimei..."
