Will the Queen blame my family?
"She won't. She has her concerns and won't take risks."
"Yi Chenli, will bad people get their comeuppance?"
Yes, it will.
"Yi Chenli, Yuan'er will always be with you from now on. You've already admitted that we're friends!"
Yi Lichen remained silent for a long time before solemnly replying, "Okay!"
At this moment, An Yuan'er had no idea that this cold, aloof, yet sensitive boy would one day repay her a lifetime of love and affection, ten thousand times over, for the protection and companionship she had received in her childhood.
And this boy, in this cold and indifferent palace, finally made up his mind.
Being good at studying is not enough to protect those around you. His indifference and avoidance will not earn him kindness. If you want to survive and become strong, you can only become the strongest.
"Round and chubby, I won't let you be so embarrassed again, I will..."
Yi Chenli turned around. An Yuan'er was too tired today. The little girl had exhausted too much energy. As soon as she came back, she lay down on the table and fell asleep. She didn't hear what he was saying at all.
Yi Chenli approached her, wiped the dirt off the girl's face with his hand, and gently kissed her forehead with a touch of reverence: "Never mind. There are some decisions you don't need to know. It's enough that I know."
When Li Gui returned with the medicine, she witnessed this scene: her master gazing tenderly at the sleeping girl, wishing time could slow down.
"Master, you..."
Yi Chenli gestured for him to keep his voice down.
Li Gui whispered, "We've already notified the An family to come and pick up the Fourth Miss. The other servants didn't say much, only that the Fourth Miss had taken a big fall and we brought her back."
"Um."
Yi Chenli carefully applied the medicine to An Yuan'er. He moved very gently. Whenever the little girl frowned, he would gently blow on it. His movements were incredibly tender.
It took a long time before An Yuan'er's wound was properly treated.
Just as the medicine was applied, An Chaoli arrived. Seeing that his daughter was badly injured, the old father was heartbroken.
He looked at the Sixth Prince again; he was more seriously injured than his daughter, yet no medicine had been applied.
An Chaoli knew that the Sixth Prince was hiding something, and he also vaguely knew some rumors. However, the Empress and her relatives were the main interfering parties in the court, and many things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
He could only vaguely say to Yi Chenli, "There is hope for the future as long as we live. Your Highness, please take good care of yourself."
Yi Chenli nodded: "Thank you for your guidance, sir."
An Yuan'er was still fast asleep when An Chaoli carried her home.
On the way, An Chaoli kept muttering to himself, "You little brat, you're always causing trouble for your old man."
He sighed again, and said with a bitter expression, "Your father is not afraid of trouble, he only hopes that you are safe and healthy. But you are never easy to deal with. You even dare to offend the Empress, and you even dare to get close to the Sixth Prince, a bomb that cannot be touched. Your father's heart has never been at peace for a moment."
An Chaoli thought An Yuan'er was asleep and couldn't hear him, but who knew—
An Yuan'er slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at her father, and An Yuan'er felt sorry for him, knowing he was worried.
But.
She leaned against her father's broad back and murmured, "Yi Chenli is not a bomb, Yuan'er will not leave him. I'm sorry, Father. Yuan'er has made you worry."

Yi Chenli stood on the second floor of Chenyang Palace, gazing into the distance until An Yuan'er's figure disappeared through the palace gates, becoming a dot that could no longer be seen.
He casually applied the ointment to himself, a completely different manner from when he gently applied the medicine to An Yuan'er earlier.
