”Moreover, you must become stronger. Otherwise, you won't be able to protect the person you want to protect in the future.” Shui Qiannan said, his words hitting the nail on the head. Yin Hua Qing smiled and nodded. He liked Nan Nan to be so straightforward and cute.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Zuo Yi Yun had been drinking medicine three times a day for the past two days. She had to recover as soon as possible and help Shui Qi Nan escape from the suspicion of assassinating her.

”Mm, as you say.” Zuo Yi Yun had experienced Shui Qinnan's calmness and intelligence as well as that man's admiration for them after coming and going without a trace these two days.

When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, Shui Qiannan coincidentally bumped into Shui Qianyu and Hou Ziming. Shui Qiannan's figure paused slightly, while Zuo Yi Yun calmly lowered her head. It was not time for them to recognize her yet.

”Big sister, where have you been these past two days?” Big sister, where have you been these past two days? Shui Qianyu laughed heartily as she covered her mouth with her sleeve.

Hou Ziming glanced at Shui Qiannan arrogantly and said, ”You have quite the courage to really come.”

The mockery in Hou Ziming's words was self-evident. Shui Qiannan's sharp eyes noticed that when Zuo Yi Yun heard Hou Ziming's words, both of his hands were slightly clenched. Shui Qiannan's lips curled up, ”Why do I not dare to come? Clear people should know.”

Eunuch Zhou walked out of the eagle and said with a smile, ”Your Highness the crown prince, the two young ladies of the Shui Manor, the emperor is letting you in.”

Hou Ziming looked at Shui Qiannan and gave a ”hmph” before walking into the hall expressionlessly. Shui Qianyu glanced at Shui Qiannan smugly and followed Hou Ziming into the hall.

Shui Qiannan gave Zuo Yi Yun a look and told her to wait outside. When she saw Zuo Yi Yun nod, she also entered slowly.

”Your son greets your Imperial Father!”

”This subject's daughter has been detained to see Your Majesty.”

Just as Shui Qiannan entered, he heard Hou Ziming and Shui Qianyu's voices. However, she still did not pay her respects to the emperor. Today was the same as two days ago. Duke Xia, Hou Zhiwen, was also present.

The emperor's stern gaze swept across Shui Qiannan and Hou Qingyu entered the palace, saying that he was curious about what would happen today.

The emperor knew that Hou Qingyu's entire mind was on Shui Qinan. Shui Qinan's spiritual powers were deep, and if there were no unmarried children, he could consider giving Shui Qiannan to Hou Qingyu.

But now, Shui Qiannan was no longer an innocent girl who was compatible with their royal family.

The emperor looked coldly at Shui Qiannan and said, ”Impudent! Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?”

Shui Qiannan calmly said, ”I still have the same words. I only kneel for those who should kneel.”

”Aren't you afraid that This Emperor will punish you for a heinous crime?” The emperor's voice became more severe. Shui Qiannan was not afraid at all. Did he want to use the imperial power to suppress her? Unfortunately, she, Shui Qiannan, did not buy it.

She looked at the Emperor with a coquettish smile and said, ”If you have the ability to do so.”

”How dare you!” The emperor slapped the table. This Shui Qiannan was really rampant, he didn't even place him in his eyes at all.
