Having many handsome men means no worries; pampering them all keeps me in good spirits.

Chapter 155 Turning hostility into friendship

Everyone looked up and around, but they couldn't find Shen Yuan anywhere.

Jiang Qingyan scratched her head and muttered, "Is Shen Yuan trying to be like Lei Feng? He's even learned to do good deeds anonymously."

At this moment, Xiao Yan secretly glanced at Jiang Qingyan, then cupped his hands to Yun Yuxuan and said, "Since Your Majesty and... are alright, then this subordinate will return to Xia Kingdom first."

Jiang Qingyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that handsome face appear before her again, her pupils involuntarily widening slightly…

Isn't that Xiao Yan, who is cold-blooded, impartial, handsome, dignified, and majestic...?

Why is he here?

Yun Yuxuan nodded, his eyes full of gratitude, and said, "Thank you very much, Commander Xiao, for coming to help. I will reward you handsomely when I return."

Xiao Yan's expression was indifferent, showing no particular joy. He nodded slightly and then turned to leave.

If his only goal was to rescue the king, he could have gone back to gather his forces and then come back.

But he had someone he cared about more, and fearing that even a moment's delay would endanger her life, he was willing to risk his life to come with Ling Feng alone...

Jiang Qingyan quickly stopped him: "Commander Xiao, you've already come all this way. Wouldn't it make Da'an seem very impolite to go back empty-handed?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan paused, a faint smile appearing on his face, before turning to look at Jiang Qingyan: "Then what does the Emperor of Da'an wish to reward his subordinate with?"

Jiang Qingyan stood up and walked to Xiao Yan, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I haven't decided yet. You can stay here for now, and I'll decide how to reward you before you leave, okay?"

Xiao Yan was overjoyed, but he still pretended to be expressionless and bowed his head to agree, "Then this subordinate will respectfully comply."

The other men in the hall, however, had lost their earlier smiles.

My husband... has he taken a fancy to Commander Xiao again?

My husband is just like that; he's barely recovered from his illness and he's already starting to philander again…

Jiang Qingyan rubbed her rumbling stomach and murmured, "I'm hungry..."

Only then did everyone realize that Liang Cheng wasn't there at all...

Everyone's gaze instantly turned to Yuan Lie, since Liang Cheng had just been with Jiang Qingyan...

Yuan Lie coughed awkwardly and said, "Um... I locked the cook in the small kitchen..."

Jiang Qingyan was filled with questions. "Why did you lock him in the small kitchen? He's my man too, why didn't you tie him up here with me?"

Yuan Lie pursed his lips. "He doesn't know martial arts. I thought it was too far to bring him here, so I just threw him in the small kitchen..."

After all, everyone else practically offered themselves up. He was quite content using his lightness skill while carrying his husband, but carrying that cook...

Just thinking about it makes me tired...

Jiang Qingyan was speechless; Yuan Lie's thought process was truly unique...

Ling Feng used his light-footed skill to rush to the small kitchen to inform Liang Cheng about everything that had just happened, and that her husband was hungry and wanted to eat…

Now that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, and staying in the main hall was rather boring, Jiang Qingyan returned to Chaoyang Palace surrounded by the crowd.

After everyone entered the hall, Yuan Lie stood outside the door for a long time before taking a deep breath and slowly stepping into the hall.

He clenched his fists, walked straight to Jiang Qingyan, and knelt down with a thud. Looking down, he said, "Husband, I was wrong. I shouldn't have misunderstood you... and even more so, I shouldn't have done that to you, and... to my brothers..."

Jiang Qingyan gave Yuan Lie a deep look, then glanced at the expressions of everyone in the room, and said softly, "I'd like to hear your thoughts on this matter."

Mo Ting glanced at Yuan Lie and said calmly, "What he did was excessive, but it was also understandable. After all, he almost lost his life in the side hall. Anyone would want revenge. Fortunately, he realized his mistake in time, which prevented him from making a serious mistake."

Jiang Qingyan then looked at Yi Luo, whose eyes were wrapped in gauze, took his hand, gently squeezed his palm, and asked, "Yi Luo, what do you think?"

Yi Luo took a deep breath and knelt down with a thud, lowering her eyes and saying, "Husband... the responsibility for this matter lies with me. If I hadn't said those provocative words to Yuan Lie that day, almost causing his death... he wouldn't have ended up like this..."

Having said that, she turned her head slightly, guided by her senses, and said to Yuan Lie, "Yuan Lie, I'm sorry... I was wrong that day. I shouldn't have said those things to humiliate you... But I only brought that charcoal brazier to keep you warm. I didn't know the smoke coming from it could be deadly... I really never intended to harm you..."

Yuan Lie looked at Yi Luo's sincere expression, which didn't seem like he was lying, but the resentment he felt towards him still lingered...

After all, Yi Luo really went too far that day...

At this moment, Lu Nian spoke up: "That day, after Yi Luo discovered the abnormality in the side hall, he rushed in to save you without thinking. His eyes were suddenly blinded because they had been exposed to thick smoke for too long..."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lie glanced at the gauze covering Yi Luo's eyes and his heart tightened...

It turns out that Yi Luo's eyes became like this because she saved him...

It's like an eye for an eye...

If that's the case, then let's turn hostility into friendship...

Yuan Lie said in a deep voice, "You spoke rudely to me, so I kicked you. You almost killed me, but you went blind to save me. We're even now, and I accept your apology."

Hearing that Yuan Lie had finally let go of his worries, Yi Luo breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "Then from now on, we should get along well and serve our husbands together, that's the most important thing!"

Seeing that the two had shaken hands and made peace, Jiang Qingyan was instantly in a great mood.

Just then, Liang Cheng also came in with the food. Jiang Qingyan patted her empty stomach and quickly sat down at the table, picked up her chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.

Mo Ting affectionately smoothed the stray hairs from Jiang Qingyan's forehead, then turned to look at Yuan Lie and Yi Luo, and said in a deep voice, "Your husband is kind and reluctant to punish you. But a country has its laws, and a family has its rules. If you do something wrong, you still have to take responsibility."

Seeing that Jiang Qingyan did not speak up for them, Mo Ting continued, "Since you two have impure intentions, then I will punish you by not allowing you to serve the emperor for a month, and each of you will have to copy scriptures one hundred times. Do you have any objections?"

Yuan Lie and Yi Luo hung their heads, dejected, and said, "We have no objection to admitting our mistake and accepting the punishment..."

Mo Ting nodded slightly and said softly, "Get up and come to have dinner with your husband."

After saying that, he sat back down next to Jiang Qingyan and served her a bowl of chicken soup.

Yuan Lie slowly stood up, paused for a moment, then bent down to help Yi Luo up and led him to sit down at the table.

Mo Ting's ability to manage the harem is evident to all, and he can guarantee fairness and impartiality, so Jiang Qingyan approves of whatever decisions he makes.

Seeing that Yuan Lie and Yi Luo had suddenly become getting along well, Jiang Qingyan was extremely satisfied and secretly gave Mo Ting a thumbs up.
