She had just straightened up when she saw two figures standing in front of the door of the neighboring palace, both looking at her.

Chapter 19: Provoke Danger

Yun Shuran noticed the beautiful neighbor at first glance, she immediately beamed.

“Sister～”

Qi Boshen didn’t know how long he had been watching her, he nodded slightly to her, his eyes rippled with soft light.

Yun Shuran wanted to run over to talk to him, she had just taken a step when she saw the tall figure standing behind the beautiful neighbor, she stopped abruptly.

The… male lead?!

She widened her eyes, how did the male lead… enter the cold palace?

Yun Shuran came to her senses, she immediately bowed to the male lead: “I pay my respects to Your Majesty.”

Leng Jun’s black eyes were like endless abysses, if you looked into them for too long, you would be swallowed up, when he stared at Yun Shuran, it was like a wild beast looking at a stunned white rabbit.

“No need to be so formal.” He said.

Yun Shuran subconsciously took a step back, she became restrained.

Leng Jun seemed to be unhappy with her reaction, her expression was very different when she saw him compared to when she saw Qi Boshen.

Yun Shuran was very sensible: “I’ll take my leave now.”

She bowed, turned around and “trotted” back to her palace.

Qi Boshen withdrew his gaze, he and Leng Jun walked into the hall one after the other.

“How is it going?” Leng Jun stood by the window looking at the palace opposite, this window happened to face the window of Yun Shuran’s palace, he could occasionally see the graceful and beautiful figure walking by.

Qi Boshen sat down at the table to make tea as soon as he entered the hall, he didn’t even greet Leng Jun.

He slowly took a sip of tea before saying: “It’s foolproof.”

Qi Boshen’s voice became lazy and deep, it lacked any of its previous clarity.

Leng Jun believed what he said, Qi Boshen wouldn’t be so certain without a certain level of certainty.

“Congratulations on regaining the imperial throne first.”

Qi Boshen lowered his eyelids, his jade-like fingers gently held the teacup, he drank in silence.

Leng Jun looked at Yun Shuran, who was leaning against the window opposite, breathing in the fresh air, a ray of sunlight fell on her face, like a flower growing in ruins, beautiful and moving, it was also full of vitality.

“You’ve been taking good care of Concubine Yun.”

Leng Jun suddenly mentioned Yun Shuran, Qi Boshen’s tea-drinking movement paused, then he replied: “Hmm, poor thing.”

His tone was so indifferent that it seemed like Yun Shuran was just a pitiful stranger to him.

Leng Jun: “I’ve never seen you pity anyone like this.”

Leng Jun’s words seemed like a casual remark, but they were more like… a probe.

Qi Boshen didn’t seem to care about being probed like this: “It’s as if you weren’t the one I saved that year, I’m that cold-hearted?”

At this time, Yun Shuran, who was opposite, discovered the male lead who was looking at her, she was frightened and quickly retreated into the hall.

Leng Jun’s expression turned slightly cold, she was so afraid of him? She wasn’t like this when she was with Qi Boshen.

“Qi Xiong, you saved my life that year, now I allow you to hide in the cold palace, it’s only right.”

Leng Jun paused for a few seconds before continuing: “But, you should stop thinking about what you shouldn’t.”

Leng Jun and he had been through thick and thin together since childhood, they both understood each other, he could probably guess what Qi Boshen was thinking.

Upon hearing this, Qi Boshen put down his teacup, he was calm, as if Leng Jun was overthinking.

“Why do you say that, Leng Xiong? Tell me clearly who I’m coveting? Is it Concubine Yun opposite?”

Leng Jun had already turned around, he didn’t say anything in response to his question, he obviously admitted it.

“I just feel sorry for her, you’re overthinking.” Qi Boshen’s voice and expression didn’t show any fluctuation, it was like he was stating a fact.

Leng Jun saw his calmness, he didn’t continue to press him.

“It’s you, Leng Xiong, Concubine Yun is a concubine who has been banished to the cold palace by you, her family has been exiled to the frontier by you, how come you’ve started to care about her?”

Qi Boshen also asked casually, but every word was “fatal”.

Leng Jun glanced at the empty window opposite, he pondered for a long time: “If my sister were as tenacious as her, perhaps she would have waited for me to save her.”

Qi Boshen’s fingers holding the teacup tightened: “You’ve really taken a liking to Concubine Yun?”

Leng Jun didn’t say yes, nor did he deny it, his tall figure left the hall.

Qi Boshen lowered his eyes and stared at the tea in the cup, until the tea had gone cold, his fingers holding the teacup were so tight that they lost their blood color.

In a moment, the teacup shattered in his hand, the cold tea spilled everywhere, soaking his clothes.

At this time, Yun Shuran was huddled in the palace, she didn’t even dare to step out of the palace.

She had just gone to the window to breathe in the fresh air when she ran into the male lead, she was so scared that she immediately retreated into the hall.

Even her thoughts of going to find the beautiful neighbor had stopped, she didn’t know when the male lead would leave, she was afraid that she would run into him again.

She had planned to go out to catch fish tonight, it seemed that she would have to postpone it.

Until that day passed, she didn’t go to find the beautiful neighbor.

The next morning, she poked her head out of the palace, she looked left and right, the cold palace was cold and deserted, there was no movement at all.

Yun Shuran walked out with peace of mind, she wandered and strolled around the cold palace as usual, when she was tired, she sat on a pillar and waited for the sun to come out so she could bask in the sun.

The door of the neighboring palace creaked open, Yun Shuran quickly turned her head.

Qi Boshen was holding a book in his hand, his tall figure walked slowly towards the rocking chair, he didn’t even glance in her direction.

He seemed to know that Yun Shuran would take the initiative to find him, he sat in the rocking chair, he deliberately changed his hand holding the book.

Sure enough, Yun Shuran ran towards him, she stretched out her hands and hugged his arm.

“Sister, did you sleep well last night?”

Qi Boshen lowered his eyes and looked at the book in his hand, he slowly opened his mouth: “No.”

Yun Shuran showed a puzzled expression, she obviously didn’t expect that her casual question would get such an answer.

But she didn’t ask further, because even if she asked the beautiful neighbor, he wouldn’t tell her why he didn’t sleep well.

“Sister, you should take a nap later, it will make you feel better.”
