The two future fiancés walked along a path in the West Wing towards a lake garden.
However, upon passing the entrance, Li Shen’s face contorted into a more annoyed expression.
Stopping, he swiftly turned around to face his stoic-face bodyguard who had been following them from the carriage.
“What are you guarding me for? I’m in the Imperial Palace, do you really think someone would try to assassinate me while I’m here?”
“You may never know Second Prince.”
Li Shen’s face scowled and he pointed at his feet before saying.
“Stay right here, it’s inappropriate for you to be listening to our conversation.”
Li Shen saw he was about to retort but he held up his hand and said.
“Can’t you see me from here? If I’m in danger you can step in, remain here, that’s an order.”
After a moment, the guard nodded his head before Li Shen turn to catch up to Lu Yue who was several meters away by the lakeside.
