Seeing Xin Lin being so cautious, Little Xinzhuo couldn’t help but say.

"Sister, aren’t you worrying too much? I see that this time, Empress Feng hasn’t said much. She even specially has the Imperial Physician come often to check on Mother and has the Imperial Kitchen stew some blood-enriching tonics for her. Father even praised Empress Feng for being considerate."

"You, just because someone gives you a little benefit, you forget past resentments. Have you forgotten who tried to kill you and your mother back then? It’s been only a while, and you’ve forgotten? And that Consort Zhao, which one is a good person? In the Imperial Palace, who knows how many people are eyeing your mother’s belly."

Xin Lin said, a bit annoyed.

Little Xinzhuo is just too soft-hearted.

The moment Empress Feng stops being active, he forgets about the pain after the injury heals.

Little Xinzhuo, upon hearing this, became nervous again.

"Then what should I do? How about I often go back to accompany Mother?"

"Don’t you care about the End of Year Assessment anymore? Not to mention all the people at the Spirit Institute eyeing you, other academy students are also watching intently. Delaying your own cultivation will only lead to more harm than good."

Xin Lin pinched Little Xinzhuo’s cheek.

At the mention of the End of Year Assessment, Little Xinzhuo became tense.

"Then what should I do if something happens to Mother...?"

"I’ve already dispatched more ghost soldiers; there shouldn’t be major problems. Just pay attention to daily matters, and you should be careful these days to avoid Empress Feng and her two sons. You should have met your brother already?"

Xin Lin thought of Long Qingxuan.

That person is far more difficult to deal with than Long Qingchen.

Long Qingchen is an outright villain, malicious on the surface.

But Long Qingxuan is deep and inscrutable; such people are the hardest to fathom.

"I haven’t met him yet, but I heard from Grand Empress that the Crown Prince is a very amiable person."

Little Xinzhuo truthfully said.

"One can know the person but not the heart, remember that. When you see him in the future, it’s best to walk the other way. It’s getting late; hurry and go to class."

Xin Lin shook her head. Little Xinzhuo is still too naïve.

If he ever encounters Long Qingxuan, it’s just a little lamb meeting a big bad wolf.

Fortunately, there’s still her, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, standing in his way.

Little Xinzhuo acknowledged with a nod and obediently went to class.

Thinking about Xin Lin’s words, Little Xinzhuo was a bit absent-minded, and after taking a few steps, he bumped into someone.

"Kid, are you blind to bump into Long Dushi!"

A few students were approaching, accompanied by Long Qingxuan.

"Sorry, sorry."

Little Xinzhuo didn’t recognize the people in front of him, so he politely apologized.

"Hold on, you’re Xin Zhuo, right? I’m your big brother."

The person who was bumped into smiled, looking very amiable, and studied Xin Zhuo.

Xin Zhuo was taken aback, looking at the person.

"Crown Prince."

"Why so formal, just call me big brother. I’ve been away for a long time and haven’t seen you. Whenever you’re free, come find me; let’s have a good chat as brothers."

Long Qingxuan said with a smile.

Xin Zhuo was dumbfounded, feeling that this Crown Prince brother in front of him was really different from Long Qingchen.

Not only does he look handsome, but he is also down-to-earth.

Is he really as difficult to deal with as Sister said?

Xin Zhuo scratched his head, a bit embarrassed.

He didn’t dare not to listen to Sister and avoided getting too close to Long Qingxuan.

"Thank you, Crown Prince brother. I’m off to class now; we’ll meet in the Imperial Palace some other day."

With that, he walked away quickly.

From behind, Long Qingxuan’s gaze followed Little Xinzhuo the whole time, with a hint of deeper intent in his eyes.
