Reincarnated as the daughter of my mortal enemy, all I want is to ascend the throne.

Li Qingyan held the ointment in her hand, looked at Yan Li lying on the bed, and smiled.

"Young Master Yan, don't be afraid. I have quite a lot of experience in applying medicine."

Looking at the smile on the little girl's face, Yan Li felt as if he were seeing Li Yan, that wicked man.

His good-for-nothing older brother, on the other hand, followed them around like a loyal dog. He's been schemed against countless times.

Why does this little girl look so much like Li Yan?

"Who are you, little girl, to dare order that bastard Yan Xu to hit me, and even..."

Yan Li looked at Li Qingyan walking towards him with a look of horror on his face.

"What are you doing? What are you trying to do, child?"

"ah!!!"

A scream pierced the sky.

The soldiers standing outside looked at Yan Xu but dared not go in.

"General, could that child kill Yanli?"

"Oh my goodness, that cry! He didn't utter a single sound when he was whipped fifty times after just joining the army. What's wrong with this kid?"

Yan Xu remained expressionless. "It's nothing. I'm tough enough not to die."

Inside the room, Li Qingyan clapped her hands and wiped the ointment off her hands with a handkerchief.

Yan Li had several slap marks on his face, and the wound on his back was covered with ointment.

Li Qingyan sat on the bench. "Calm down now?"

Yan Li never expected to be outmaneuvered by a little kid. He gritted his teeth and said, "Where did you come from, you little brat?"

He suddenly thought of something...

"Could she be Yan Xu's illegitimate daughter?"

Yan Li's eyes widened. This was a violation of their Yan family rules, punishable by at least a hundred lashes. The thought made Yan Li tremble.

Li Qingyan rolled her eyes at him. "My name is Li Qingyan, and my father's name is Li Yan."

Upon hearing Li Yan's name, Yan Li's expression became even more peculiar.

"No wonder they're like this; those little black sesame dumplings born from black sesame dumplings are all black-hearted bastards."

He doesn't even know this little girl, so why is he getting ready?

Military camps are not places for leisure, so naturally there wouldn't be any good tea. Li Qingyan poured herself a bowl of cold water, took a few sips, and then continued, "I came to ask you for help."

help?

Do you have to hit someone before you can help them?

Not only did they not need to ask for help, but they also resorted to violence? Where is the law in this world?

No, this little girl's father is Li Yan, and that guy is the law.

Thinking of this, Yan Li cursed under his breath.

Seeing Yan Li's changing expressions, Li Qingyan felt the effect was good. After a while, she said with a troubled look, "I don't want to hit you either, but my father said that the second young master of the Yan family is a spoiled brat and needs to be taught a lesson."

Li Yan did say that, but it was a long time ago, so it wouldn't be considered a false imperial edict for her to say it now.

Yan Li's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. "Oh, so that black sesame dumpling is at it again."

He disliked Li Yan since he was a child, and every time he fought with Li Yan, he was the one who ended up being tricked.

He had been resentful for so many years, originally thinking that Li Yan would ignore him after becoming emperor.

Who would have thought that Li Yan said he was unruly, and the next day Yan Xu threw him into the army camp, where he has been for five years now.

Seeing his gritted teeth, Li Qingyan was secretly delighted.

"It's done."

"My old man Deng has really offended a lot of people, but he's still somewhat useful."

[Does Li Yan know that you've been scheming against her like this? (￢_￢)]

He won't know.

Li Qingyan was very confident about this.

"Why……"

She sighed and said that she had been tricked by Li Yan, who not only refused to help her but also wouldn't let anyone else help her.

"I'm only three years old. I need to investigate a case, but I don't even know who the officials in the court are. I heard you're very familiar with those young officials. Could you help me?"

Li Qingyan's big, bright eyes and round face made her incredibly cute.

Yan Li frowned upon hearing this. "What? You're letting a three-year-old like me investigate a case?"

That expression almost made him think Li Yan wasn't human.

Yan Li hissed in pain from the aggravation of the wound on his back, grimacing like a dog.

Looking at him, Li Qingyan shook her head. His features resembled Yan Xu's by six or seven points; it was obvious they were brothers, but…

Why has her demeanor changed so much?

Yan Xu was imposing and majestic, but Yan Li was like a dog, and their personalities were somewhat similar.

"Yanli, would you be willing to help me?"

With her soft, sweet voice and pitiful expression, Yan Li slapped the bed and agreed to help her.

However, I am injured and need to rest for two more days before I can go back.

With his guarantee, Li Qingyan was naturally willing to wait. This "waiting" was also within Li Qingyan's plan. She wasn't in a hurry. After all, the longer it took, the more curious they would become about why she hadn't taken any action. This curiosity would increase the suspicions of those with ulterior motives.

On the way back, they weren't in such a hurry, and Yan Xu rode his horse very slowly. Looking at the sunset, Li Qingyan squinted, "The sunset outside the palace is still the most beautiful."

"That young prince has never seen the sunset on the frontier; it is the most beautiful scenery on the grasslands."

Yan Xu looked delighted when he mentioned the frontier.

Li Qingyan tilted her head back but could only see Yan Xu's chin.

"Yanxu, what was life like when you were little? Did you also live in this square place?"

Yan Xu patted her head. "The place we live in has plains and mountains, grasslands and dense forests. The thing we do most every day is to ride horses and patrol."

Even though she couldn't see Yan Xu's eyes, she could feel his joy.

Are people who grew up in such a free environment, now trapped in the city and bound by countless rules, truly happy?

"Your Highness, please don't run around like this, okay? What if you catch a cold and get a headache?"

From the moment he finished taking the pulse, Physician Zhao's mouth never stopped.

Li Qingyan couldn't stand it anymore after listening for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, and grabbed his beard with her chubby little hands.

Physician Zhao immediately shut up.

My ears can finally have some peace and quiet.

"Where has Physician Liu been lately, Imperial Physician Zhao? Physician Liu's medical skills are excellent; I'm planning to keep him in the capital. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Physician Zhao's eyes lit up. Ignoring the fact that his beard was being pulled tightly, he said, "This is a good thing. Although Brother Liu and I do not share the same medical lineage, we have the same philosophy. With him here, we can treat more people."

Whenever medical skills are mentioned, Physician Zhao's attention is diverted.

It wasn't until Physician Zhao sat in the carriage that he slapped his forehead in frustration, "The young prince has led me astray again."

Li Qingyan tossed and turned on her bed on the third floor several times. Her rabbit doll wasn't there, and neither was Li Yan. She couldn't sleep. She just couldn't sleep.

Li Qingyan rolled around several times before she could finally close her eyes and fall asleep, but she didn't sleep very soundly.

In the dead of night, several dark shadows flashed across the sky above the Yan residence.

Yan Xu glanced at the guards, who were as frightened as birds, and they all dispersed.

Inside the small building, Li Yan looked at the pink decor throughout the room with disdain. "What kind of taste do you have? Vulgar and ugly."

These things look fancy, but they lack taste.

He looked at Li Qingyan, who was sleeping with her butt sticking up on the bed, shook his head, picked her up, held her in his arms, and covered her with a blanket.

"That brat treated Yan Li like a dog? And even framed me?"

Li Yan almost burst out laughing as she said this, "The little brat is sleeping soundly."

"Go to sleep, go to sleep. You'll have plenty of trouble ahead of you, you little brat."

He gently patted Li Qingyan's back, and Li Qingyan, who had been frowning, curled up and found a comfortable position, falling into a much deeper sleep.
