Inside the woodshed —

Housekeeper Li was sitting on a chair with a whip in his hand. There were two servants surrounding him. Chunmei was tied up and thrown to the side. His mouth was gagged.

"Chunmei, I've been treating you well, haven't I? "Since this matter has failed, I must give an explanation."

Chun Mei's eyes widened as she struggled continuously. From time to time, she would even let out a cry.

Housekeeper Li sneered. He picked up the whip and whipped Spring Plum a few times.

Chun Mei struggled to keep up. With a stern look in her eyes, Butler Li handed the whip to the servant beside her and said in a low voice, "Don't leave him alive."

"Yes sir!"

After saying this, he looked deeply at Chun Mei for a moment, then walked out of the woodshed.

Since this matter had been exposed, he had no other choice.

But where did that man's corpse come from? The fact that he did not slander Shangguan Qian this time did not mean that he would not have a chance next time.

Butler Li's face revealed a trace of ridicule as he walked towards the Garden of Peace.

The birthday feast is over. His health was not good, and he had been tired all day, so he had to lie down on the bed to rest.

Steward Li walked in quietly and gave Senior Servant Bai a look. Senior Servant Bai understood and quickly left.

"Wan-Er, are you tired?" Butler Li stepped forward and gently pressed her shoulder.

The imperial concubine opened her eyes with love between her brows, and said softly, "Have you dealt with the matters at home? "Who killed Miss Sun?"

Butler Li's expression became serious as he said in a low voice, "I killed him."

"You?" The imperial concubine's expression changed as she looked at him deeply before asking in confusion, "Why do you want Miss Sun? Didn't you say you want to deal with Shangguan Qian? "

"Shangguan Qian and Sun Yuetao returned to the courtyard together, but I saw that Sun Yue's face was scratched. I originally wanted to kill her and blame it on Shangguan Qian, but who knew that another 'male corpse' would appear." Butler Li frowned, "Looks like we have to wait for another opportunity."

"Who cut Miss Sun's face? "Could it be Shangguan Qian?" The imperial concubine opened her mouth in shock.

Housekeeper Li did not deny it, saying in a low voice: "That's very possible, after all, she was the only one with Sun Yuetao at that time, maybe Shangguan Qian wasn't as simple as we thought."

"Whether it's simple or complicated, it's more important that we get rid of her as soon as possible." The imperial concubine said worriedly.

Butler Li nodded, and said in a serious tone, "Naturally, we cannot let her threaten us!"

"Dan Feng's leg …" "I don't know what to do, how to get married in the future." The imperial concubine said worriedly.

"I will find a way to treat her as soon as possible." Butler Li's eyes were also filled with worry, "After all, she is our …"

The imperial concubine glared fiercely at him and said sternly, "Be careful of the wall!"

Butler Li nodded and didn't dare say anything else.

In the west wing, two girls were there. The small figure quickly slipped out the back door.

There was already someone waiting at the back door, and by the light of the lamp, it was clear that it was Shangguan Qian.

She calmly looked at Zhui Feng and said, "Let's go!"

Zhui Feng nodded, following behind Shangguan Qian, his emotions extremely agitated.

They were about to meet their sister who had been separated for ten years. If it was true, then it would be worth it for their sister. He had sold Li Fengyi's friendship.

Shangguan Qian and Cui Zhu led the way, the two of them lowering their heads and walking quickly, finally arriving at the door of a house.

Cui Zhu pushed open the door and entered. She could see that the lights in the house outside the yard were on.

Shangguan Qian stood in the yard, turning to look at Chasing Wind, saying in a low voice, "I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

Zhui Feng gave her a deep look, nodded, and quickly walked in.

Shangguan Qian Qian stood in the yard and couldn't help but sigh. The whereabouts of Chasing Wind Sis was given to her by Ouyang Jin. If he wanted to get close to the enemy, the most important thing was to infiltrate their territory.

However, he did not know what Chasing Wind knew. Although Chasing Wind was Li Fengyi's personal bodyguard, every time Li Fengyi went out to meet those people, he would not let Chasing Wind participate.

"Princess, is that girl really Chasing Wind's little sister?" Cui Zhu looked at the house, her voice was filled with expectation.

"It can't be wrong."

"It's great to see my family." Cui Zhu let out a long sigh. Seemingly sensing that she was in a bad mood, she hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up.

Shangguan Qian didn't pay much attention to this. She knew that the seemingly clever and meticulous Green Bamboo had a weak side to it, and meeting her loved ones was perhaps the hardest wish she had ever had in her life.

A quarter of an hour later, Chasing Wind walked out. His wooden face was somewhat moved. As he walked out, a woman walked to the door with tears in her eyes and deeply looked at him.

"It's very late. Rest." Chasing Wind sighed and turned to walk in front of Shangguan Qian.

"How is it?" Shangguan Qian asked lightly, his face showing no threat or coercion.

Chasing Wind smiled bitterly and replied, "Princess, don't worry. People like us believe in trust the most. Since Chasing Wind has already promised the princess, she will naturally not go back on her words."

"Alright!" Shangguan Qian's eyes flashed with joy, "Chasing Wind, do you know who Li Fengyi is cooperating with? What are their plans? "

Zhui Feng looked at her with a profound look before his eyes flashed with disgust. "I don't know."

Shangguan Qian also felt that he was getting a little anxious. Although Zhui Feng had agreed to work for her, but compared to Li Fengyi who showed him kindness, if he told her everything, he would not appreciate him.

"Since you don't know, then forget about it. Let's go back. If someone discovers that we have disappeared, then it would not be good." Shangguan Qian did not pursue the matter further, taking the lead to leave.

Chasing Wind looked at her back with a puzzled expression, guessing unceasingly in his heart that Shangguan Qian had some feelings for the Third Prince.

Why did it feel like everything was Shangguan Qian faking it?

She wanted to harm the Third Prince?

But what reason did she have to harm him? He really didn't get it.

"Princess, you against Third Prince."

"Since I'm one of my own, I'm not afraid to tell you. I, Shangguan Qian, am destined to be Li Fengyi's enemy in this life. I won't change. Don't ask me why, I won't tell you." Shangguan Qian replied frankly, with a hint of the magnanimity that a martial artist would have.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll bite you back after you tell me all this?"

"Not afraid." Even if Li Fengyi knew, so what? In any case, the outcome was still the same. At most, he would just fall out with him.

Sometimes, Shangguan Qian even felt like he could not continue acting. He hated someone so much, but he had no choice but to hide at his side.

This feeling was too painful. If he did not bring down Li Fengyi in a single day, how could he face his royal father and mother? She did not want the tragedy to happen again.

Thus, she would not regret what she had done.

On the second day, the Third Prince's Mansion regained its calm, as if nothing had happened.

In the afternoon, Shangguan Qian sat on the chair of the Peace Garden and handed over a brand-new medicine bag to the imperial concubine.

"How do you feel these days, Consort?"

"Not much of a cough." The imperial concubine replied flatly. She looked deeply at her and spoke as if she had not noticed it. "There's a banquet at the palace tonight. The empress specifically ordered Qian'Er to enter the palace."

"Oh? A banquet in the palace? "But what happened?" Shangguan Qian pretended to be surprised as he asked.

"The Turkic princess came to Great Yan, and said that he wanted to choose one of the princes." The imperial concubine spoke indifferently, not caring in the least, "My body … It's really inconvenient for Senior Servant Gui to attend, so I entrusted Senior Servant Bai to go with you. "

A hint of surprise flashed through Shangguan Qian's eyes. Ask Senior Servant Bai to go with her?

Was there some sort of scheme?

That's right, last time when Housekeeper Li killed Sun Yueru, he was still unable to blame her. He still didn't know what would happen if he used this opportunity to enter the palace.

However, Shangguan Qian did not feel scared at all and agreed straightforwardly. "Alright, then I'll be troubling Senior Servant Bai."

"Princess, what do you mean? It's not troublesome at all." Senior Servant Bai smiled as she spoke.

The imperial concubine's face revealed a trace of a smile, her eyes emitting a wisp of wisdom. The light depended on the night!

In the evening, Shangguan Qian was wearing the same plain clothes as usual. Standing together with Cui Zhu, it was impossible to tell that he was a princess.

"Princess, your attire is so simple. Aren't you going to make those people in the palace look down on you?" The red tassel took the jewelry and said while pouting.

Shangguan Qian knew how straightforward Hong Ying had always been, but he did not mind, saying: "You have to keep a low profile as a person."

"Princess, are you ready?" Senior Servant Bai's urging voice came from outside the room.

A strange expression flashed across Shangguan Qian's face as he strode out, "We can go now."

Because Li Fengyi had already entered the Palace, only Shangguan Qian had left for the Palace this time.

Naturally, there were eunuchs waiting in the palace, and Shangguan Qian followed the eunuchs into the main hall.

"Princess, your seat is next to the third prince," the eunuch said.

The hall was brightly lit. Almost all the princes were present, even the crown prince, who had always kept a low profile, was present.

Opposite them, sitting with the bearded man, was a beautiful woman, the Turk's princess, Senya, and the general, Turum.

The last time he saw him in the woods was Tulumu, and it seemed that he had a deep relationship with Li Fengyi.

"Qian'Er, you came. Why don't you sit on my side?" Li Qing Ying waved enthusiastically.

Because his voice was very loud, the surrounding princes heard his words and covered their mouths in laughter.

On the side, Crown Prince Li Yichen had a solemn expression as he said in a low voice, "Eighth Brother, everyone is looking at you."

Li Qingying didn't seem to care at all. "Just watch."

Shangguan Qian'er ignored him, walking lightly towards Li Fengyi, who was talking to the Fifth Prince beside him, thus he did not notice her.

It wasn't until she was sitting beside him that Li Fengyi noticed and whispered, "He's here."

"Right." Shangguan Qian nodded, looking at the Turkic princess opposite his, teasing her, "Feng Yi, what if the Turkic princess chooses you?"

Li Fengyi stared blankly at first, as if he did not think of this level, but soon after, he smiled.

Beneath the table, he tightly held her hand, "I already have a princess, so I don't need any other Palace Masters."

Shangguan Qian'er gave a dry laugh, a shy look on his face, as he struggled to get his hands on him. "Princess Turkic is so beautiful, if I were to choose you, would you not be moved?"

"You don't believe me?"

Shangguan Qian did not speak further, smiling faintly as he sat quietly beside him.

Li Fengyi seemed to have gotten closer to her, grabbing her hand under the table and tightly holding it.

A hint of displeasure appeared on Shangguan Qian'er's face, but he did not refuse this time, allowing him to hold his hand.

Because the last time the Emperor was assassinated, he was still recuperating, and the one presiding over the event this time was still the empress.

The empress, supported by the court ladies, came out and sat in her seat, sizing up the audience.

"The Turk Princess is very elegant. Minister Tulumu pays his respects to the Empress."

Sen Ya and Tulum stood in the middle of the main hall. Sen Ya looked at the surrounding princes from time to time. Her expression made it seem as if she had truly re-elected her husband.

"Esteemed guests, please take a seat."

"Esteemed Empress, I've prepared a dance for you to watch." Sen Ya's sudden words startled everyone.

He had only been here for half a day, yet he had already found someone he liked in such a short amount of time after seeing the princes for just a few hours? It had to be said, the Turkic princess was bold enough.
