Whether Anpu can continue to live or not, was not important at the moment. The most important thing right now was how they would successfully drive Imperial Doctor Qin away.

Lin Chujiu pretended to be crazy and stupid, shed tears, acted like a coquettish, and cruel. But in the end, she still hasn’t drive Imperial Doctor Qin away. She had no way but to continue.

Lin Chujiu just wanted to beat Imperial Doctor Qin like the last time. However, Imperial Doctor Qin learned from the last time. He kept hiding behind the imperial guard. And whenever Lin Chujiu raised her whip, Imperial Doctor Qin retreated quickly. Lin Chujiu had no time but to continue raising her whip.

After yelling and fighting for a long time, Lin Chujiu got tired. So when Anpu came out, Lin Chujiu hid behind him to rest and let him deal with the imperial guards, but… …

Lin Chujiu seemed to have forgotten that Anpu was a shadow guard. He worked in the shadow all year round. He was not good at communicating with people.

When Anpu came out, he didn’t say a word, he only stood in front of Lin Chujiu with a cold face and determined attitude, which showed that he wouldn’t let the imperial guard touch Lin Chujiu.

Imperial Doctor Qin and the imperial guard tried to push Anpu away, but both of them were resolved by Anpu. There was no other way. The Imperial Guard could only try to communicate with Anpu: “Are you the shadow guard of Xiao Wangfei?”

“Mmm.” According to the principle of less talk less mistake, Anpu treated words like gold. So he never says two words that can be solved with just a single word.

“Xiao Wangfei’s face was injured. The emperor sent Imperial Doctor Qin to treat her face. This is also for Xiao Wangfei’s sake. I would like you to step aside so that Imperial Doctor Qin can treat Xiao Wangfei’s face.” The Imperial Guard deliberately lowered himself, but Anpu still refused: “No!”

“Are you trying to resist the imperial decree?” Soft words don’t work, so the Imperial Guard could only use hard ones.

“No.” Anpu opened his mouth and said with cold eyes. He said no, but his feet seemed to have been nailed on the floor, and he stood motionless in front of Lin Chujiu.

“Anpu, don’t go… don’t let them touch me. Don’t let them see my face, don’t… …” Lin Chujiu was also forceful. She continued pretending to be crazy. Sometimes she was sober and sometimes coherent. She thought Anpu was Xiao Tianyao just now, but now she recognized him.

Housekeeper Cao and the rest was just outside the door, so they could hear the conversation in the room. They kept their head down and their shoulders were trembling in sadness, but in fact, they were grinning.

Housekeeper Cao was not a novice. His face full of worry, red eyes, helpless look in the face, drooping shoulders, all showed how worried he was as the housekeeper.

The Imperial Guards outside has been paying attention to the expressions of Housekeeper Cao and his party. Except for a few bowing their heads, they didn’t see any flaws. The imperial guards couldn’t see any abnormality even though they were staring at them all the time.

Inside the room, the Imperial Guard and Anpu were still in a stalemate. Imperial Doctor Qin still couldn’t get close to Lin Chujiu. As soon as he stepped forward, Lin Chujiu screamed and raised her whip. Even Anpu was hit several times.

While the Imperial Guard looked helpless, Anpu finally said something long since he appeared: “Wangfei is in a bad mood, please get out.”

“The emperor’s will cannot be violated.” The Imperial Guard retreated, but Imperial Doctor Qin still insisted.

“Princess, can’t be touch.” Anpu opened his mouth again, but said in a low voice: “She’ll get crazy!”

They were only a few words but has many meanings.
