Just after Ye Tianqing finished, there were dozens of imperial bodyguards dashing from all directions and then pointing at Li Yun with swords. At the same time, Ye Qingran and the Fourth Prince, who stayed very close to Li Yun, were also surrounded by these bodyguards. Obviously, these men were confidants of the Crown Prince, because they were loyal to him.

Li Yun was thrilled by them, just before the Empress ordered these imperial bodyguards to arrest her, they acted quite reluctantly. But now the Crown Prince just gave a word, they moved so quickly, looking like that they dared not disobey him. She didn't understand why the Crown Prince would trouble the original owner so far. She looked at Ye Tianqing with fists clenched in her sleeves – he would better pray that he would not be caught by her, or he had to pay for her suffering today.

The Empress was naturally aware of that, so her face look bad, but she didn't say anything to stop them.

The Fourth Prince then looked at Ye Qingran, seeming to ask "what can you do with this".

The sullenness just stayed on Ye Qingran's face for a short while, then he gave a faint smile and stroked at his clothes casually. Seeing his movement, all those imperial bodyguards were startled and stepped back vigilantly. Then he said slowly, "I have been out for only seven years, now the situation seems to have changed totally! In the past, people in the whole imperial palace plus the outside would be afraid of seeing me, then what happened? Who gave you the balls to point at me with swords?"

Though the last sentence sounded flat, the atmosphere in the viewing garden suddenly went down.

Those imperial bodyguards suddenly retreated one more step. Their bodies were shaking, and the swords in their hands almost fell. Because Ye Qingran stood so close to Li Yun that they dared not to approach, all they could do was to surround Ye Qingran and the Fourth Prince. Now they were looking at the Crown Prince Ye Tianqing, waiting for his next command.

Some present people recalled the old days. Seven years ago, who in the Heavenly Saint Dynasty would neglect "the Devil Incarnate" young Lord Ran? He never killed people and was always cordial to others; however, once he made up his mind to torture someone, he would make the person feel like it's better to die than to live. He had plotted with countless people, and few in the palace could break out from his scheming; wherever he showed up, there would always be someone running away and evading meeting him. Even His Majesty could do nothing with him. Later, the Elder Prince of the Prince Moral family finally came out to assign him the task of going out to study and experience, and then the whole imperial city could settle down. In these seven years, people almost forgot about him. But now remembering what he had done before and seeing his fake smile, everyone felt thrilled inside.

Many a girl also remembered that some bold girls had shown their affection before this young Lord, and then they were thrown to the Lotus Pond by him. It was said that this was just an innocent trick, while for those boys who had offended him, he would do worse. Thinking of that, the light of admiration in these girls' eyes towards Ye Qingran immediately decreased, but they were still fascinated by his handsome.

Li Yun admired his imposing attitude a lot, as he did nothing but people were all afraid of him. She thought again and was sure that he must have done something shocking before, so that those people were scared by him now.

"Well, Qingran, for these years you have been away, the situation is indeed different! These servants behave more and more unruly." Glancing at these swords that pointed at him, the Fourth Prince continued, "you have come back now, teach these servants a good lesson for fuwang. Or with someone harboring them, they even forget who they really are."
