However, the reason why Jiu Mu Li helped them, was largely because of the sense of responsibility they had as military doctors in their past life. Even though they had been treated coldly today, they did not have any small emotions.

Her journey went without a hitch. Just as she was about to step into her room, she saw a slender, jade-like figure standing in front of her room's door.

”It's me.” Qin Zheng's eyes had long possessed the power of night vision, as if he was retarded from seeing her look left and right, and in the end, didn't seem to recognise her. He immediately gritted his teeth, and the taste of blood rose up from his mouth.

He was standing right in front of her. How could she not recognize him when he was so close to her?

”Oh …” Jiu Mu Li let out a deep sigh, her heart was finally relieved, ”I can't sleep, why are you guarding my door in the middle of the night?”

Qin Zheng stared at her deeply for a moment, complicated emotions flowing through his eyes, and did not speak for a long time.

This awkward and strange atmosphere caused her to uneasily move a little, and her face revealed an inquiring expression. She could not remember what she did wrong again, to make Qin Zheng look so serious.

”If I wasn't watching here, I'm afraid I wouldn't know about you sneaking out of the hall in the middle of the night and heading towards the Gongquan.” Qin Zheng picked up a strand of her black hair and played with it at his fingertip. His voice was as calm as water, neither happy nor angry.

However, if Jiu Mu Li could see clearly at that moment, she would be able to see the cold expression in his eyes, which was the sign of him getting angry.

Unfortunately, she couldn't see it.

With his words, the first thing that crossed Jiu Mu Li's mind was his enraged expression. He could not help but shout loudly, ”You're actually monitoring me!”

Such suffocating surveillance! From then on, all her movements would be recorded and presented to him. This feeling of being controlled made her feel particularly uncomfortable.

”Hmm? Did you forget that when I brought you to the Imperial Palace, it was only to find another place to imprison you? ” Qin Zheng continued to wrap her black hair around his hand in a neither happy nor angry manner, he did not want to let go.

That's right, how could she have forgotten?

Right now, his life in the palace without any worries was just a prison! Thus, the other party had the right to monitor her movements and control everything she did!

Jiu Mu Li felt that it was extremely ironic, pitiful that she had spent so much time and effort to study hard just for Qin Zheng, just to find the most viable way to use the Opening the Profound Vein. But from the looks of it, those efforts were not even worth as much as feeding the dog!

She opened the corner of her mouth to reveal a cold smile, not wanting to say another word to this arrogant fellow in front of her.

Having made up her mind, she turned around and left. However, she didn't know that a strand of her black hair was still in his hand, causing her to feel a wave of pain.

However, she did not hesitate, with a raise of her hand, the blade fell, and that strand of hair became cut, flying away with the wind in Qin Zheng's hand.

”You!” Qin Zheng was anxious and angry, he did not expect his to be so resolute and decisive, not giving the two of them the slightest bit of leeway.

He stepped in front of her and stopped her on her way back to her room.
