Chapter Two, The Fourth Prince

The Fourth Prince, upon hearing this, no longer lingered on the matter of inviting the imperial physician, and lightly laughed, "That's more like it! Don't you want to meet the delicate beauty of the Rong Wang Mansion? Rong Jing hasn't stepped out of the Rong Wang Mansion for ten years! And then there's Qing Ran, who has been studying abroad for seven years. Now that he has returned, the capital is certainly lively! Wouldn't it be a pity to miss out on such a spectacle?"

She originally believed that those ridiculous theories of time travel, which were widely circulated and deemed impossible, were suddenly overturned by this bizarre situation, causing her previous understanding to collapse. Could it be that such miraculous events truly exist in the world? Did she not only survive a great disaster but also experience a rebirth? Moreover, in ancient times?

"I just heard that you bumped your head. Should we call the imperial physician to take a look?" The man reached out to touch Li Yun's forehead, his eyes revealing a look of concern. Before Li Yun could respond, he shouted at the girl kneeling on the ground: "How are you serving your young lady? Since she is unwell, why haven't you hurried to call the imperial physician? This prince sees that you do not want your head anymore?"

Even in the face of the unbelievable, her expression remained completely composed. As the man approached, her gaze became increasingly steady.

She remembered commanding everyone in the National Security Bureau to retreat, while she alone stayed behind to disarm the timed bomb. The latest bomb device nearly exhausted all her knowledge accumulated over her lifetime, and it was only at the last moment that she managed to disarm it. However, to her surprise, there was still a timed invisible device inside the bomb, and there was simply no time left to disarm it again. Therefore, she embraced that device and jumped from the twelfth floor... No matter what, she could not allow it to destroy the entire National Security Bureau building, otherwise, the confidential secrets that countless people had risked their lives to obtain would be completely destroyed, and the consequences would be unimaginable...

"I am afraid of what he might do, I just don't want to go." Li Yun did not withdraw her hand, thinking that if she could use qi gong, then the person in front of her could easily block her hand, wouldn't that mean he could also use qi gong? No, or perhaps it is called martial arts here.

Li Yun cast him a faint glance, remaining silent

Upon hearing this, the girl immediately stopped in her tracks, her pale face looking at Li Yun, then glancing at the Fourth Prince.

"It seems you are truly angry? Heh... how rare!" The man gazed at Li Yun, suddenly chuckling softly, then turned and sat down on a nearby stone bench, leisurely fanning himself as he said, "Tell me, who has bullied you? I will help you get back at them!"

Ah... it has been a long time since I have seen you show this expression. Who is it that has the ability to bully my Moon Sister?" The man could not discern any thoughts or emotions from Li Yun's face; his gaze was tinged with a hint of surprise, and he let out a light laugh, though the sound was somewhat heavy.

I am not feeling well. Li Yun was held by his hand; his hand was warm, while hers was cool.

Prince? Li Yun looked at the man, her eyes involuntarily widening slightly

Is it the Crown Prince again? These four words are what she has heard the most since waking up. Li Yun remained impassive

I said I won't go! Li Yun suppressed the astonishment in her heart. Could this be qigong? She had previously encountered a remarkable individual who practiced qigong to perfection, capable of killing a cow with bare hands and shattering boulders with a palm strike, all without harm. Does she have it too?

Li Yun instantly ceased her struggles, suppressing the tumult within her heart, and decisively stated: "I do not wish to go!"

"What is the matter? Since you are unwell, you should summon the imperial physician to examine you quickly." The Fourth Prince spoke to Li Yun with a tenderness and concern that was more than double that which he had shown to the girl earlier

Li Yun glanced at the man, noticing that his brows and eyes were still smiling, yet the smile did not reach his eyes. She lowered her head to look at the girl kneeling motionless on the ground, her calm voice revealing no trace of joy or anger, "You come and tell him who has bullied me."

The man, seeing Li Yun's actions, smiled instead of getting angry, his handsome face breaking into a dazzling smile. The hand that held Li Yun's wrist remained still, while the other hand gently reached out to block Li Yun's incoming hand, his brows and eyes once again gathering a smile. "Now this is more like your style! Those women are nothing but delicate flowers and weak willows, easily crushed. To you, dealing with them is like stepping on an ant. Why endure such bullying? Come, I will accompany you to deal with them."

The distance from the rockery to the pavilion where she is located is approximately 10 zhang. Has this person just arrived, or has he been hiding behind the rockery all along? Her gaze slightly sharpened as she momentarily filtered through her actions upon waking, reflecting that she had not done anything out of the ordinary. She felt a slight sense of relief in her heart and continued to sit quietly, calmly watching the man approach.

"Oh, it seems you really don't recognize me!" The man looked at Li Yun's expressionless face, seemingly finding it amusing. His gaze flickered for a moment, and without pausing his steps, he approached the pavilion, walking directly in front of Li Yun, staring at her as if trying to see through her thoughts

Li Yun looked at the man who suddenly appeared, unable to appreciate such a handsome figure, as the strange feeling in her heart deepened a few more degrees

"Your Highness, please forgive me; it is all the fault of this servant. I will go at once to summon the imperial physician for the young lady..." The girl trembled violently, bowing her head repeatedly, causing the blood that had previously congealed on her forehead to spread once more

As the words fell, he held onto Li Yun without letting go and stepped out of the pavilion

Li Yun was taken aback. How could her hand be easily grasped by someone without her having time to evade? Her status had long prevented others from approaching her easily. Her gaze suddenly darkened, and she was about to withdraw the hand that was being held by the man

As she moved, a warm current suddenly surged from her lower abdomen, clearly transmitting through her blood to the palms of her hands, as if it had invisibly gathered strength, giving her the sensation that even if faced with a bull, she could strike it down with a single palm. A slight shock coursed through her heart, yet she did not cease her actions

Li Yun felt an overwhelming sense of frustration in her heart, feeling the man's grip on her hand that she could not escape from. It seemed that with this person around, it was impossible to avoid going to the viewing garden. After a moment's thought, she realized that she would have to face people sooner or later in her current situation. She closed her eyes and said irritably, "Let go of my hand, and I will go with you!"

Wait! How could Li Yun possibly invite the imperial physician? If the physician arrives and diagnoses her with a health issue, treating her as a monster, then she might as well give up on living. She is well aware that in ancient times, killing a person was easier than crushing an ant.

"Yes, I shall go at once!" The girl got up from the ground, not daring to delay for a moment, and hurriedly ran down the jade steps

"Can you not mention him, how annoying!" Li Yun was furious, having heard this four-character title since she woke up. She had grown utterly disgusted with these four characters. The other hand, which had not been caught, struck the man's hand that was gripping her wrist. It was a swift and unceremonious blow.

Then hurry and summon the imperial physician!" The man shouted angrily without looking at the girl

Li Yun's thoughts were in constant turmoil. Having just arrived, she had yet to understand her own situation and was completely bewildered by her presence here. Naturally, she had to be extremely cautious, paying close attention to the tone of the girl on the ground and the man. Today, that so-called garden must be crowded with people. She could not afford to encounter too many individuals; if her true identity were to be exposed and she were mistaken for a monster, it would mean her death, even after having been given a second chance at life. Especially since she did not yet know who this person was, how could she possibly follow him?

An incredibly astonishing thought suddenly surged to the forefront of my mind

"Do you not want to go?" The man tightened his grip on Li Yun's wrist and turned to look at her. Although he did not seem to exert much strength, Li Yun was still lifted up by him, her hand firmly grasped, unable to move.

"How is it? It seems that after just a few days apart, Sister Yue no longer recognizes me?" The man looked at Li Yun's expression, his gaze revealing a hint of depth, as he fixedly stared at her face

Not far away, a young man emerged from behind a rockery. He appeared to be extremely young, around seventeen or eighteen years of age, dressed in a light purple ancient robe that matched the color of her current attire. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with a jade belt cinching his waist. His features were fair, and his countenance was strikingly handsome. In particular, his pair of phoenix eyes were deep and dark, resembling black gemstones that emitted a serene light. He approached her holding a fine black ink landscape folding fan, walking leisurely and casually, exuding charm and elegance, with a smile evident in his brows and eyes.

"... is, Miss!" The girl lowered her head and trembled as she recounted what had just happened.

So that's how it is, no wonder Sister Yue is angry. Your Highness, even if you do not consider your own face, you should at least take into account the face of Her Majesty the Empress and the Yun Wangfu. How can you turn a blind eye to the fact that you are being bullied! It truly is..." The man suddenly realized, stopping mid-sentence, his smiling expression slightly angry, the implication of his unfinished words was clear.

Is there still a way to survive after jumping from the twelfth floor? She is not a flying person, so she won't die from the fall. Even if she were a flying person, a bomb would reduce her to nothing, wouldn't it? Especially since she remembers it was dusk at that time... She looked up at the sky for the third time, the sun blazing, the day bright, under the clear blue sky, with the moon shining and the wind gentle

This has been a habit for many years; in such a strange situation, she would never act rashly without clarifying the matter. Since it is not a dream, and there are no ghosts in broad daylight, then it must be a real person. As her mind gradually became clearer, the memories in her mind also surfaced distinctly.

Li Yun seemed oblivious, even looking at the man with a blank expression

Since you are not afraid of him, why do you not want to go? Are you not the one who loves excitement the most? The man looked at Li Yun, his expression filled with curiosity and inquiry.

"Are you afraid? Is it because His Highness the Crown Prince is also here? So you are willing to be bullied by others?" The man raised an eyebrow.

The man was taken aback by the words, as if he had only just noticed the girl kneeling on the ground. His gaze fell upon the large pool of fresh blood on the ground, his expression remained calm, as if he were accustomed to such sights

"Are you really afraid of him?" The man's smile suddenly froze, his gaze instantly turning pitch black. "You have always been fearless, so why are you particularly afraid of him? Is it because you are going to marry him in the future? Is that why you are so fearful? Have you already placed your husband above all else before even entering the prince's residence?"

As he spoke, the man pulled Li Yun along and walked away

Let us go to the Viewing Garden. It is quite lively there now, as the poetry appreciation meeting has already begun. If you wish to regain your standing, it is not difficult at all, especially with the Empress backing you. Even Princess Qingwan would not dare to act recklessly in front of the Empress, and the women inside would not be able to resist your bullying. The man had barely settled into his seat when he immediately stood up, reached out, and grabbed Li Yun's wrist, pulling her past the girl kneeling in front of them and walking away.

Li Yun's heart tightened slightly, and she tried her best not to reveal any flaws. Since she had not figured anything out yet, she naturally could not act rashly
