Chapter 165 There seem to be stars twinkling in the eyes



Xiao Li rescued Cen An and gave him two options.

1. He followed Song Junzhan, just like before.

2. He moved into the princess's mansion, and she sent someone to protect him closely.

He must be being targeted now, and people will not give up until they achieve their goal, but Xiao Li cannot find ways to save him every time.

He had to make a choice, which would determine Xiao Li's attitude towards him in the future.

She doesn't want to have to save someone again.

It wasn't that Xiao Li was cold-blooded, but she clearly had the ability to ensure his safety, so why did she wait until he was kidnapped before rescuing him? She didn't like being passive.

Of course Cen An wants to choose a brother. Doesn’t he know about the Princess’ Mansion?

What's with protecting him? Once he enters the princess's mansion, won't he be exploited to death by her?

It's easy to get in but hard to get out. He had barely escaped from the princess's clutches, and it had only been a short time. How could he have jumped back in by himself?

But he didn't choose it right away. Instead, he looked at Xiao Li nervously. He felt that if he chose "one", he would be beaten.

After all, the princess had put in so much effort and personally brought people to rescue him, and she also said that she would protect him. If he firmly refused, his conscience would be a little painful.

Xiao Li glanced at him strangely: "Did your eye twitch?"

Cen An said shyly, "I know the princess wants to protect me, but I will leave after treating Jun Zhan, so I won't bother the princess anymore."

Wasn't his refusal polite enough?

Xiao Li nodded: "Okay."

It's better for Cen An to leave. He's a useless guy who only knows medicine but not poison. He might die in the future without knowing how.

Xiao Li answered bluntly. Cen An thought she was angry when he heard the cold voice. He tensed up and didn't dare to say a word.

As soon as the team arrived at the city gate, Lou Yan left first. Before leaving, he glanced at Mojiang in Xiao Li's arms.

The little wolf cub was favored and was held by Xiao Li himself all the way. He was so happy to have his fur stroked.

Suddenly, the little wolf cub felt a murderous aura and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see Lou Yan's leaving back.

"Ouch?"

Cen An and Song Junzhan followed Xiao Li back to the princess's mansion.

As the team marched through the long street, no one could help but tremble with fear at the sight of their awe-inspiring guards, their tall and strong horses, and their cold silver armor.

Especially since many of the armors seemed to be shining with blood, and they looked murderous, so the timid ones dared not look directly at them.

There is no shortage of troops in the imperial city, especially the imperial guards, which are the best among the troops. However, even the imperial guards do not seem to be as ferocious and terrifying as the guards of Princess Xuanyang.

Only after the team passed by did everyone dare to breathe a sigh of relief, and the reputation of Princess Xuanyang for her cruelty became even stronger.

Xiao Li:?

What did she do?

A sedan chair was parked at the entrance of the princess's mansion. As the procession passed by, the curtains were lifted, and Wang Wanqing, dressed in a pale blue, stepped out. She looked at Xiao Li in the procession with a smile on her face, "Princess!"

Unlike others who first saw the murderous guards, he did not see the tall and strong Rong Qing who looked scary.

Wang Wanqing glanced around and saw only Xiao Li. As for any evil spirit or scary thing, it didn't exist.

Xiao Li got off the horse, picked up the little wolf cub and threw it on the ground.

Wang Wanqing hurried over, extremely excited but restrained, stopping three steps away to salute: "Wanqing greets the princess."

Xiao Li looked indifferent: "Why are you here?"

Wang Wanqing smiled brightly and said, "These days I've been learning how to manage things from my aunt. My aunt said I've learned well, so she rewarded me by letting me go out of the palace to see the princess once."

Seeing her as a reward? The Empress's sister-in-law would reward people.

Xiao Li walked towards the mansion, and Wang Wanqing followed two steps behind, even lifting her skirt to make way for the little wolf cub who was eager to catch up.

"Princess, is this your dog? It's so cute."

Xiao Li: "That's a wolf."

Wang Wanqing: "What a cute wolf."

Song Junzhan and Zi Yue were about to go in, but after a few steps they realized something was wrong. Looking back, they saw Cen An still sitting on the horse, and they were completely stunned.

Zi Yue stepped forward and pulled him: "What are you daydreaming about? Why don't you come down?"

Cen An woke up as if from a dream: "Ah? Oh!"

In the front hall, Hongyue first prepared hot water for Xiao Li to wash his face, and Lanyue brought people to serve tea to everyone.

Everyone sat down. Xiao Li took a look and asked, "Hmm?"

Turning her head to look at her side, she saw Wang Wanqing standing upright next to her in the place where Hongyue should have been standing. From her posture, one would think she was Xiao Li's attendant.

"What are you standing for? Sit down."

Wang Wanqing was surprised: "Thank you, Princess, for letting me sit down, but I'll just stand here."

She is no longer Miss Wang, but the palace maid Wang Wanqing, and she really wants to be closer to the princess.

"Ahem..." Cen An choked on his tea and quickly held it in. Noticing Xiao Li looking over, he pretended to be unpretentious and asked, "Princess, who is this girl?"

Wang Wanqing glanced at him and introduced herself confidently: "You must be Doctor Cen, right? I've long heard of you. My name is Wang Wanqing."

Wang Wanqing knelt slightly in greeting, and Cen An quickly stood up and bowed, "Miss Wang, you're too polite. Cen An is just a doctor."

Cen An knew about the Wang family's affairs. Not long ago, the princess showed off her power in the palace because of a girl from the Wang family.

She is the royal girl who was saved from the beasts by the princess...

Wang Wanqing nodded, then looked at Xiao Li with a smile in her eyes: "Princess, you are really amazing. You went to rescue Doctor Cen personally."

There seemed to be stars twinkling in those bright and shining eyes.

Song Junzhan wanted to say something to Xiao Li, but after looking at the girl from the Wang family, he decided to get up and say goodbye. They were just sending the princess back.

He got up and left. Zi Yue followed him back today and took away the distracted Cen An.

Cen An walked very slowly and reluctantly out of the door, and didn't get very far for a long time.

Wang Wanqing could be vaguely heard talking to Xiao Li, but after just a few words, a painful whimpering sound suddenly came out.

Cen An suddenly turned around and saw Wang Wanqing lying in Xiao Li's arms, crying and trembling.

Xiao Li paused holding the teacup, ignoring the person in his arms and taking a sip first, mainly because he was really thirsty.

Cen An saw all this and his eyes widened.

The Human King girl was crying so miserably, yet she was so indifferent?

Noticing his gaze, Xiao Li looked up at him.

Cen An glared at her angrily, then clenched his fists. He realized that he had no right to speak, and finally could only turn around and leave in frustration.

Xiao Li:?

What's wrong with you?

Wang Wanqing actually didn't want to cry. She was now a palace maid and could not leave the palace at will. She had specifically asked the Queen to let her out today.

She hadn't seen the princess since she saved her, and had never even thanked her properly.

She came to express her gratitude, but as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt like crying for some reason.

The grievances in my heart suddenly burst out and I couldn't stop them.
