Su Qian didn’t say anything when she heard this. Instead, she changed the topic and said, “You can leave first. 1 need to check on Qingqing’s condition first before refining the elixir.”

“Yes.” Qian Rong obediently retreated and quickly left the room.

After Qian Rong left, Su Qian returned to the room where Xiao Yan and the two children were.

As she pushed the door open, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted in. Xiao Yan was sitting by the bed wiping Su Qingqing’s sweat. When he saw Su Qian enter, a smile appeared on his red lips. “Is it done?”

“It’s done.” As Su Qian spoke, she walked to the bedside and sat down. She first showed the Qilin Celestial Vine to Xiao Yan and said, “Did you have something to do with the Ximen family’s matter?”

When Xiao Yan mentioned earlier that the Ximen family’s matters had been settled and she did not need to worry about it, she did not take it to heart. She even planned to personally visit the Ximen family once Qingqing’s condition improved.

However, she did not expect that Xiao Yan would handle it so thoroughly, leaving her with no chance to intervene.

She thought Xiao Yan would hesitate before answering her, but to her surprise, this devilish man simply nodded with a smile and readily admitted, “Yes, I did it.”

“You admit it so easily? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell others?” Su Qian asked.

“Since you asked, I naturally have to tell you the truth.” Xiao Yan seemed to have seen through Su Qian’s thoughts. His voice was as low as a thousand-year-old wine as if it had the power to bewitch people. “Moreover, I only did what you wanted to do in advance.”

“Your words make you seem like a roundworm in my stomach and know everything.” As Su Qian said this, she looked at Xiao Yan with an inexplicable gaze. “No one is a fool. Once you make a move, there’s no guarantee that someone will suspect you.”

“The number one aristocratic family has been destroyed. The other aristocratic families don’t dare to provoke me,” Xiao Yan indifferently said.

Su Qian let out a sigh of relief and frowned speechlessly as she said, “Who said about the large families? I’m talking about the people in the palace.”

Xiao Yan’s opponents were naturally not as simple as the aristocratic families. His enemies were the Imperial Family, his brothers!

The imperial power of the Fire Cloud surpassed all other forces. The battle for the imperial power was accompanied by a bloody storm. It had already begun among the Princes.

However, Xiao Yan had always been inconspicuous, and none of the Princes had paid him any attention. Now, however, he had just revealed himself and caused such a huge commotion. He had far surpassed the other Princes in all aspects, and even the Crown Prince. He would definitely become the target of public criticism.

Yet, looking at Xiao Yan, the corners of his lips still carried a smile, he didn’t seem to be worried at all!

“I’m here to talk about serious matters. Can you be more serious?” Su Qian said disdainfully.

Who knew that when Xiao Yan heard this, not only did he not become serious, he even smiled even more happily. “I never knew that my affairs were actually so important in Qianqian’s eyes.”

He had never placed the other Princes in his eyes, and Xiao Yan had never been nervous because of those people.

However, he liked how Qianqian was concerned about him.

Su Qian sensed Xiao Yan’s affectionate gaze and quickly averted her gaze nervously. She hurriedly stood up, “Don’t misunderstand. 1 just don’t want you to be implicated because of me and the children… All!”

Before Su Qian could finish, Xiao Yan grabbed her hand..
