Su Qian stared straight at Xiao Yan and asked curiously.

Initially, she was a little worried that Xiao Yan wouldn’t answer her question. However, to Su Qian’s surprise, Xiao Yan actually answered her without thinking.

“When I was five years old, I was poisoned in the palace. That poison was of the sixth-grade, and no physician in the palace could completely eliminate it. Over time, the toxins accumulated in my body. At first, I just had difficulty moving, but later on, my legs were completely paralyzed, and it has been like this until today.” As Xiao Yan spoke, he lowered his eyes to hide the emotions that flashed past his eyes.

Su Qian found Xiao Yan’s revelation very unexpected.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Su Qian had heard Xiao Yan talk about his own situation.

“In that case, someone in the palace wants to harm you?” Su Qian thought of the Imperial Palace and a hint of resistance crept into her heart.

The Imperial Palace looked glamorous on the surface, but in reality, there were too many schemes hidden there. Many people had schemed against each other for their entire lives. Whether calculating others or being calculated against, the palace was a place of myriad conspiracies.

Thinking back, Xiao Yan was only a five-year-old child, unable to pose a threat to anyone. Yet, someone ruthlessly poisoned him, ruining his legs and destroying his prospects for a lifetime. From then on, he lived in obscurity, unnoticed by anyone in the palace except for the Empress Dowager.

Su Qian felt that if Xiao Yan’s legs were not crippled, there would be no prince whose radiance could surpass his within the Imperial Family.

“Perhaps it was done by someone in the palace. In any case, I haven’t found the murderer so far. I’ve been biding my time and hiding my strength, waiting for the right moment to find a way to expose this person.” A bloodthirsty killing intent swiftly surfaced in Xiao Yan’s eyes when he finished speaking.

“Your Highness, you’re telling me such an important matter just like that?” Su Qian looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. She hadn’t expected Xiao Yan’s legs to have so many complications.

When Xiao Yan heard this, he turned to look at Su Qian and blinked in confusion. “Wasn’t it you who asked me to tell you?”

Su Qian was instantly speechless at Xiao Yan’s words. “So, Your Highness, do you want me to help you heal your legs now?”contemporary romance

Xiao Yan’s goal was nothing more than to find an excuse. He immediately looked at Su Qian and nodded.

“Your Highness, haven’t you considered that once your legs are healed, the person who harmed you in the past might reappear and plot against you again?” Su Qian looked straight at Xiao Yan. She felt that a smart person like Xiao Yan would definitely understand such straightforward logic.

Back then, the person had harmed him. Once he recovered, his light would cover the other princes. Then, there would definitely be people who consider him as a thorn in their side.

Xiao Yan didn’t answer Su Qian’s question directly. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Qian in surprise. He teased, “Qianqian, are you concerned about me?”

Su Qian saw Xiao Yan’s smile and immediately said in surprise, “Who said that? I’m not.”

“If you didn’t care about me, you wouldn’t have said those caring words just now.” Xiao Yan didn’t care that Su Qian’s eyes were wide open in surprise. Instead, he said in a good mood, “I understand what you mean, but don’t worry. I know what I’m doing. I won’t let anyone take advantage of me..”
