Crying for the prince and having his mind read, I am the most favored harem!

Xiao Heng was indeed a little worried about Lin Qingran, so he decided to let Yao Qin and Qin Yiyi come over to accompany her.

Anyway, so much time has passed now, I believe the two of them should be almost ready for hunting, so it doesn't hurt to accompany Lin Qingran.

There were many people at the hunting ground, and Xiao Heng was a little worried about Lin Qingran's safety. Only by asking them to accompany Lin Qingran could he rest assured. If Lin Qingran himself was not willing to go together, he would have wanted to take them there directly.

When Xiao Heng left to deal with the matters at the resting place, Lin Qingran stayed there with him, while Zhan Shuo still followed Lin Qingran from a distance and did not get too close.

Lin Qingran's feet felt a little weak when she stood, so she simply found a big rock to sit on, leaning against a tree and taking a nap.

On the surface, Lin Qingran was resting, but in fact, she was thinking about something in her heart. She still hadn't come up with a reason for Shen Zhuo.

Lin Qingran had also wondered before whether the original owner had a relationship between a man and a woman with Shen Zhuo, but she felt it carefully and it seemed that there was no such relationship.

So, what is going on between the original owner and Shen Zhuo?

And why did the original owner deliberately avoid those memories about Shen Zhuo? Could it be that Shen Zhuo hurt the original owner?

If this were not the case, then there was no way to explain why the original owner seemed to have deliberately hidden this person in his heart, and he did not want to think about it.

After thinking about it for a long time but unable to figure it out clearly, Lin Qingran rubbed her sore eyebrows and decided not to think about it.

Just then, there were some footsteps from the right.

Lin Qingran thought it was Qin Yiyi and Yao Qin who arrived, but she found out that it was not, but a group of strangers, whom she had never seen before.

Judging from the footsteps of these people, it seems that they are coming in the direction of Lin Qingran, or they are coming directly to her.

Each of the seven men walked toward Lin Qingran expressionlessly. Zhan Shuo immediately noticed something was wrong and rushed directly in front of Lin Qingran.

"Stop, who are you and what do you want to do?" Zhan Shuo scolded.

No one on the other side paid attention to him. Several people suddenly made coordinated movements and rushed directly towards Lin Qingran.

Lin Qingran could tell that these people were coming for her, or they chose to deal with her when Xiao Heng was not here, or they might want to use her to threaten Xiao Heng.

In a few breaths, Lin Qingran had already thought about many possibilities in her mind, but she was not in a hurry. Xiao Heng should not be completely unprotected for her.

Thinking of Concubine Yan Shu and the fifth prince Xiao Chen, they clearly wanted to deal with Xiao Heng, so it was very possible to deal with her.

With a thousand thoughts in her mind, Lin Qingran immediately stepped back to make room for Zhan Shuo.

Just as Lin Qingran stepped back, more than a dozen people poured out from nowhere. These people had no idea where they were hiding earlier.

And they were on Zhan Shuo's side and took action against those few people. They were obviously the ones secretly arranged by Xiao Heng.

I don’t know if she is sure that there is no danger anymore. Lin Qingran is still thinking of other things at the moment, and it seems that she is too ambitious.

Lin Qingran paused and thought to herself, wasn't it that her and Xiao Heng's previous actions were seen by others?

Thinking of this, Lin Qingran looked very strange.

Not many people came, and the attack was not ruthless enough. Zhan Shuo quickly had these seven people controlled.

"Empress, are you okay?" Zhan Shuo came over and asked.

Although he saw that Lin Qingran was fine on his face, it was safer to ask so as not to get into trouble if something went wrong.

Lin Qingran shook his head slightly, glanced at the others, and asked Zhan Shuo, "It's okay, we have always been secretly protected. Are these all the people secretly protected?" "I don't know, everything is arranged by His Highness. , but there should be more than just these people in the dark." Zhan Shuo told the truth.

Xiao Heng's earlier preparations were not just about these arrangements, but also other arrangements. Some of the protectors secretly were even arranged by Yuan Bao, so he was not very clear about it.

"Understood, leave these people to His Highness, and send someone to see where Yiyi and Qinqin are and whether they have rushed over so quickly." Lin Qingran ordered.

"Yes, please wait a moment, my Majesty, and I will do it immediately," Zhan Shuo said.

Lin Qingran found that her mental endurance has improved a lot now. She used to be so scared when encountering these things. After all, swords have no eyes, and she will die if she is not careful, but now she doesn't feel that way.

Perhaps after arriving here, she was assimilated. Even if life and death were in front of her, it didn't seem to be a big deal.

Such a change is not a good change. For a person who has been exposed to compulsory education since childhood, it is like a disregard for life.

If in modern times, Lin Qingran would probably scream and call the police if someone just came out and took action.

In the final analysis, it was still affected by this era of supremacy of imperial power.

When she came back to her senses, Lin Qingran didn't know where she had walked. She subconsciously wanted to go back the same way, worried that Xiao Heng and Yao Qin would not be able to find her later.

However, at this moment, thirty people poured out of nowhere. This time, they were different from the seven people last time. Although they were also unmasked, they were all armed.

"Protect the empress!" Zhan Shuo shouted.

Immediately, the people from just now appeared in the secret again. They were not as many as the other party, but they all protected Lin Qingran.

Zhan Shuo resisted and stepped back, "Your Majesty, please follow me."

"Okay." Lin Qingran nodded in agreement.

The people who attacked Lin Qingran today were indeed a little strange. Logically speaking, even if they attacked Prince Xiao Heng, they would not come to find her as the Crown Princess.

Unless it was her enemy who did it on purpose!
Perhaps even Xiao Heng did not expect that someone would be waiting for the opportunity, and the target was not Xiao Heng but Lin Qingran.

If he had known this earlier, Xiao Heng would never have let Lin Qingran stay alone.

Lin Qingran still hadn't figured out why Xiao Heng was asked to handle something. Even though Emperor Kang Yuan had left, he wasn't so anxious.

Now, I have figured everything out. This is obviously the result of someone's deliberate arrangement.

Being able to arrange these things easily is definitely not something ordinary people can do. I am afraid that the previous dynasty is also involved.

There were only a dozen of Xiao Heng's people, and there were a few who were responsible for escorting those who had been caught earlier. They were a little unable to hold on at this moment. It was only when Zhan Shuo saw this situation that he protected Lin Qingran and retreated first. Let their people come to the rear.

A long knife passed Zhan Shuo and was about to meet Lin Qingran.

"Be careful!" Zhan Shuo shouted.

Lin Qingran could no longer avoid it and could only bear it.

Suddenly, a force in the dark opened the long knife, and a black figure stood in front of Lin Qingran, blocking the attack for Lin Qingran.

Zhan Shuo, on the other hand, couldn't help but say something when he fought back.

"I forgot about you. I didn't expect you to come out too."
