Another group of people surrounded Li Danyeng's bedside. They also confirmed that it was indeed because they drank Manager Li's herbal medicine that Li Dancheng vomited blood.

Housekeeper Li was dumbfounded as he heard this conclusion. He couldn't help but say, "Impossible! I've already checked the herbs before, there's no way there's poison!"

"Manager Li." What medicine did you find? " asked the Consort calmly.

Housekeeper Li's face was full of remorse, "I heard from the other party that this secret recipe was effective, so I asked for it for Princess Danfeng to use. I just didn't expect her to be poisoned."

"It's a good thing that it isn't a fatal poison. If it were a fatal poison, wouldn't Dan Feng …" The imperial concubine glared at Steward Li with a dark face before turning to look at Li Danyeng, her voice hoarse. "How did my poor little phoenix end up in such a state?"

And at this time, Li Danyeng slowly woke up. She glanced at the imperial concubine and weakly said, "Aunt, what's the matter?"

The imperial concubine wiped the tears off her face. "You've been poisoned …"

"How could I have been poisoned?" Li Danyeng's expression greatly changed as she angrily asked.

The room became silent. No one took the initiative to tell them the reason.

Li Danyeng angrily looked at the surrounding people. She seemed to have thought of something, and her eyes were fierce as she looked at Manager Li.

"It's you …" Her figure … His body was still weak and had yet to recover. He extended his hand and pointed angrily at Butler Li.

"Why do you want to harm me? "Why?"

Housekeeper Li had a worried look on his face as he quickly explained, "It's not me, I really don't know what's going on."

"Princess Danfeng, you have to believe me."

"You lowly slave, how dare you harm me! "Auntie, chase him away, chase him away!" Li Danyeng roared loudly.

The imperial concubine's expression carried a hint of caution. She indifferently glanced at Butler Li and said, "You may leave first."

"Imperial Consort, you have to believe me. It really isn't me."

"You can leave first!"

Butler Li glanced at Li Danyeng once more before turning around and leaving.

The imperial concubine cast another glance at Senior Servant Bai, who immediately chased everyone out.

The only two people left in the room were Li Danyeng and Senior Concubine. It was as if Senior Concubine's face was covered in a layer of ice, and her tone was somewhat fierce.

"Butler Li, you can't leave."

"Why? Aunt, he hurt me to such an extent, and you still want to side with him? Isn't it just a servant? " Li Danyeng scolded angrily.

Consort Li frowned and said in a low voice, "Housekeeper Li is not a servant, so don't say anything about driving him away. He brought you herbs for your own good."

"Do you mean to say that it's for my own good?" Li Danyeng angrily retorted.

The imperial concubine sighed deeply and murmured, "Danfeng, if you continue messing around, I can only send you back."

"Aunt!" A trace of fear flashed through Li Danyeng's eyes, "Why would you treat me like this for a servant?"

"Danfeng, you will understand in the future. Anyway, Manager Li, you are not allowed to call him a servant. Do you understand?" The imperial concubine said in a low voice.

Li Danyeng didn't understand, but she still nodded seriously. After all, she didn't want to go home.

In that family, she had no status whatsoever, allowing her concubines to bully her. It was better to stay by the side of the concubine and enjoy herself.

"Aunt, I really treat this place as my home."

The imperial concubine held her in her arms and said softly, "Aunt is also reluctant to part with you, but you have to listen to me in the future. You can't disobey Aunt anymore."

Li Danyeng nodded, "At most, I won't lower myself to his level."

"Be good." The imperial concubine looked deeply at her with eyes full of love and pity.

Shangguan Qian stood in the distance, watching the sighing Housekeeper Li and couldn't help but smile.

That scene from before was really exciting. Could it be that Housekeeper Li only loves Li Dancheng alone? That's why she was so good to her?

"Manager Li, are you alright?" she asked softly as she walked over.

Butler Li raised his head and saw that it was Shangguan Qian, he lowered his head in frustration and said helplessly, "I've clearly checked all the herbs, there's no poison at all, how did it end up like this?"

"Housekeeper Li need not blame yourself too much. Perhaps the medicinal herbs mixed together to cause such a reaction. Perhaps the princess will definitely feel Housekeeper Li's painstaking efforts." Shangguan Qian said with a faint smile.

"Well, maybe."

"Just from this point alone, you can tell that Steward Li is someone who has sacrificed a lot for the Li Residence, for the sake of the clan, that Steward Li is so concerned about Master."

Hearing this, Butler Li's face revealed a trace of vigilance. He chuckled dryly, "I am like this for every master. I am not only concerned for a master like Princess Danfeng."

"That's right. With Butler Li here, I feel a lot more at ease."

Butler Li looked at her deeply, sighed, and said nothing more.

She could feel that Steward Li was very cautious, but it was precisely because of this trace of caution that made her feel that things were definitely not that simple.

Li Danyeng didn't care about Housekeeper Li's words at all, and Housekeeper Li was always worried about her. Just what kind of secret was behind this?

"Manager Li, Concubine Li said that she would send you to collect the debt tomorrow, so that Princess Danfeng would not be angry when she saw you." Senior Servant Bai walked over and said.

Housekeeper Li's face held a trace of gratitude as he said softly, "Princess Danfeng didn't ask me to leave the estate, did she?"

"No, just go and collect your debts." Senior Servant Bai patted his shoulder and smiled.

The worry on Butler Li's face finally disappeared.

Shangguan Qian's eyes squinted as he watched this, wondering what their relationship was.

Summer was a rainy season. The rain continued to fall at night.

A girl." The small figure wore a bamboo hat and was walking on the road.

There weren't many people on the street, so it was exceptionally quiet. She hurriedly lowered her head and walked. Suddenly, she accidentally bumped into someone.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't notice."

Shangguan Qian Qian raised his head, and when he saw him, his face froze. The person she bumped into was actually the average looking man with a pair of beautiful eyes.

That was what Nightingale had said, someone who could give orders to him.

She frowned and looked down to see that the collision had stained his white clothes and splattered them with mud.

He stood in the rain, an umbrella in his hand, his ink-black hair hanging down to his shoulders. When he looked at him, he would always have the feeling that he was an immortal, an otherworldly existence.

But ever since he had heard Nightingale talk about this from time to time, he had known that this person was also a ruthless person.

But at this moment, he only silently looked at her without any emotion flashing across his face.

In fact, it was as though the pair of eyes could see through everything, and could even guess what was on her mind.

A sense of fear overcame him, and Shangguan Qian furrowed his brows.

He didn't know why, but he felt that this person was very familiar. However, he couldn't exactly pinpoint where he was familiar with.

"Rain is slippery, girl be careful." He was modest and polite, walking past her.

Shangguan Qian turned to look at his retreating back, thousands of emotions running through his mind.

Brightmoon Workshop.

The singing and dancing was very lively, Shangguan Qian raised his head indifferently, he could vaguely see nobles surrounding him.

She lowered her head and quickly walked to the backyard. This was the busiest place in the Great Yan Empire, and it was filled with all sorts of people.

However, she had no interest now. She strode up to the second floor, found a room, and pushed open the door.

The smell of blood filled the air, and her brow furrowed as she closed the door.

He strode to the bedside, looked at the pale-faced Nightingale, and was about to tease her for a bit, but swallowed his words back down his throat.

"How are you?"

"He shouldn't die." Nightingale opened her eyes and smiled at her, "It's good to have a look at you before I die."

Shangguan Qian sat on the chair, burning a small slip of paper. He glanced at Nightingale, he could still tease her, but she was probably still alive.

"Your people are in Third Prince's Mansion too?"

In the evening, when she was about to rest, she happened to see a small piece of paper on the bedside, which had given her the name of Nightingale.

She almost didn't think twice before coming over. She didn't expect that something really happened to him.

"The people of the Red Chamber are everywhere, it is normal for the Third Prince's Mansion to have people of the Red Chamber." Nightingale's weak explanation.

In the end, Shangguan Qian couldn't bear to do so. He stepped forward and lifted his blanket, a large wound appearing savagely in front of her chest.

Stunned, she mumbled, "What's going on? Aren't you very good at running away? Why didn't you escape this time? "

Nightingale forced a smile and said weakly, "I was careless."

"Who injured him?"

Shangguan Qian asked with a frown, the man's face suddenly appearing in his mind, "It's him?"

"He's called Dye." Nightingale coughed, her face was still pale: "Did you bring the medicine?" "If you help me bandage it, you won't be able to bear watching me die like this, right?"

Shangguan Qian gave him a glare, and took out a bottle of powder used to stop the bleeding, "Aren't there a lot of people in your Red Chamber?" "Why are you holding back waiting for me to come?"

"They're all busy." Nightingale looked at her meaningfully, and the corner of her mouth hooked up into a satisfied smile.

"You, the young master, are really lacking in status." She carefully pulled. He opened his shirt and sprinkled the powder on top of it. "I met him when I was coming over."

"Who?"

"Ink." Shangguan Qian looked at him, saying: "The one you're talking about."

Nightingale's expression froze, it was hard to see her face, "Where did you see it?"

"On the way here."

"To think that Painted Ink would chase me. He stabbed me in a small forest fifty li away. He's not here at all." Nightingale whispered.

"You mean, he probably controlled your people?" Shangguan Qian asked in surprise.

Nightingale bitterly smiled, and closed her eyes, "It is very possible."

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly. She frowned as she applied the medicine, her complexion turning unsightly. If that was the case, then it was possible that the information that Nightingale had received might be false.

"Is there no way to find out who he is?"

"We from the Red Chamber have a lot of people. We use a special slogan to contact him, and he has..." Nightingale kept her mouth shut, but there was a trace of anger in her eyes.

"It's better if you don't keep following him." Shangguan Qian said kindly, "The most important thing is to find the traitor first."

"Clasp ~ ~ ~"

At this moment, a knock came from outside the door. The two of them quickly looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes.

Painted Ink, did you come all the way here?

After a second of silence, Shangguan Qian walked to the door and asked faintly: "Who?"

"Little Sheng."

Shangguan Qian's expression froze for a moment. With Elder Little Sheng here, wouldn't Ouyang Jin be here as well?

She turned her head to look at Nightingale, and whispered, "I'm going to take a look."

"Be careful!"

She nodded and opened the door. The one standing outside was indeed Little Sheng.

Little Sheng looked at her with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Princess, this grandpa is waiting for you in the bamboo room with the word 'Heaven'."

"Ouyang Jin, wait for me?" Shangguan Qian'er looked at him deeply, a hint of anger in his eyes: "Didn't I say before that I would only go when I was 15?" Today is neither the first nor the fifteenth. Why would you want me to go? "
