Although the empress sensed that something was wrong with Li Qingying, she did not say it directly and entered the inner hall together.

The wounds on Shangguan Qian's arm were shocking, it was terrifying to look at.

"Why didn't you tell me when you saw the dancer pull out her dagger? "Idiot." Li Qing Ying said from the side.

Shangguan Qian's brow furrowed, looking at the empress from time to time, afraid that the empress would notice.

The empress stood aside, her face pale from fright.

Very quickly, Xue Xuan walked in with the medicine chest on his back, nodding towards the empress before walking towards Shangguan Qian.

The empress looked at Li Qingying without batting an eye and said in a low voice, "Come with me."

Li Qingying was stunned for a moment. He wanted to refuse, but seeing the empress's unsightly expression, he followed the empress out of the inner hall.

"Queen Mother, what's the matter?"

The empress looked at him coolly and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?" "Don't you know that Shangguan Qian is going to marry Li Fengyi?"

"I know." Li Qingying calmly said, "I just want to be good to her, so what?"

"Old Eighth, you're crazy!" The empress shook her head sadly. "Go home!" If they don't spread out, the effect would be bad. "

"Muhou, I didn't do anything to her. How could it affect her?" Li Qingying scratched his head and said in a distressed tone.

The empress's face tensed up as she asked, "Nothing happened?" What else do you want? "

After Li Qingying received his lesson, he didn't dare to say more, "Then I'll go back."

As the Queen watched the Eighth Prince leave, her face turned extremely ugly. She had not expected Shangguan Qian to be so capable, to have managed to confuse Old Eighth.

In the inner hall, Shangguan Qian pursed his lips and looked at Xue Xuan, saying in a low voice, "Why is it you again?"

"You don't seem to want to see me?" Xue Xuan curled his lips and simply stopped the bleeding.

"Indeed, I'm not very willing." Shangguan Qian'er pursed her lips, she had better not interact with Xue Xuan as much as possible.

"The wound is not deep." Xue Xuan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I heard that you were injured in order to block an assassin for the empress."

"Right." At that time, she had indeed charged over without thinking too much into it. As for the results, she did not have any qualms.

However, she believed that after this incident, she would be able to get closer to the empress.

That was what she wanted.

The imperial concubine had already begun to deal with her, so she had to choose a greater backer.

So no matter how serious the injury, she would not regret it.

"Doctor Xue, how is it?" The empress walked in and asked worriedly.

After all, Shangguan Qian had saved her life, and that was a favor.

"The princess' wound is very deep. I'm afraid there will be scars on her arm in the future." Imperial Physician Xue sighed, looking at Shangguan Qian with regret in his voice. "This woman has a scar on her hand, I wonder if Third Prince will mind."

Of course, the empress took Imperial Physician Xue's words seriously, the empress naturally knew that women cared about scars. Such a mark really did owe Shangguan Qian a great favor.

Shangguan Qian Ling's eyes were glistening with tears as he bit his lips and said softly: "Qian'Er is fine, it's just a scar, I'll cover it with my clothes."

After he finished speaking, he gratefully glanced at Xue Xuan. This guy was very useful at critical moments.

"The Princess's magnanimity and open-mindedness makes me admire her. Coupled with the fact that I'm willing to sacrifice my life to save the Queen, it's sufficient to show that the Princess is a good woman who does not care about her own safety." Xue Xuan smiled as he praised.

These words also deeply reminded the Empress, and the gratitude she felt towards Shangguan Qian'er increased.

Thinking about it, if it were not for Shangguan Qian, he would still be lying on the bed right now. Maybe it was her.

"Imperial Physician Xue, if you put it that way, I really feel embarrassed."

"It's getting late. Empress, Princess should rest early. I will take my leave."

The Empress nodded, then looked at Guan Qian, "Dong Mei, you stay in the inner hall to wait upon the princess."

"Yes."

At night —

Shangguan Qian was no stranger to this Inner Palace. In her previous life, she had often stayed here to accompany Li Fengyi.

However, now that he had suddenly come to live in this life, he felt somewhat regretful in his heart.

Dong Mei stood guard outside. Suddenly, a soft sound rang out from the window.

Before he could react, he felt suppressed. Beneath him.

A strong fragrance wafted down. She looked over and saw a face with peerless beauty.

"Why are you here? There's someone else standing guard outside. " Shangguan Qian asked worriedly. If Dong Mei found out that she was with the Imperial Advisor, what would happen?

"Since I dared to come in, I naturally made preparations for everything." Ouyang Jin leaned against her side, his hands nimbly digging into her undergarment.

He pinched her wantonly, not forgetting to tease, "She's too young."

Shangguan Qian's face flushed red all of a sudden, he grabbed hold of it and swam in his undergarment. The hand that left.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Scram!"

"You don't like it?" He pressed his body close to hers. Body, warm breath on her neck.

Shangguan Qian only felt a slight itch, twisting around and down his body, before he finally said in a low voice, "Ouyang Jin, I need to rest!"

"Okay, let's rest together." His hand moved wantonly over her body. He left without any hesitation.

Shangguan Qian couldn't help turning over, looking at the man who had the smile of a fox on his face.

"This is the inner palace. Have you gone mad? "Get out!"

What if I don't go out? What do you want? " He squinted his eyes and smiled, but there was a deep warmth in his eyes. "Concealed.

"I …" I was shouting! " Shangguan Qian pushed at his chest, his little face swollen like an apple.

Ouyang Jin approached her, his lips carelessly brushing past her cheek as he calmly asked, "What are you shouting for?" Did you call me molester? Little Qian'Er, do you think you can afford to bet, or should I? "

Of course, Shangguan Qian knew the meaning behind his words. He was the Imperial Advisor of Great Yan, and even if someone found out, he did not mind.

This was because his reputation was long gone, so why would he care about adding another name?

However, she was different. She was the princess of a large family that Li Fengyi had yet to marry. If news of this were to be exposed, her only fate would be to be sent back to a large family and be shamed for the rest of her life.

Actually, Shangguan Qian had just been scaring him, shouting at him? She didn't have the guts to do that.

Lying in the same bed with Ouyang Jin. Going up was really awkward, and also very uncomfortable.

"I can't gamble." Shangguan Qian replied honestly, pursing his lips and looking at him.

"Ha ~" Ouyang Jin laughed lightly as he pulled her back into his arms.

The warm yet familiar fragrance assaulted her senses, causing her to feel a little hot.

His hands were like a huge stove as they continuously roamed around her body. Let's go.

Strangely, however, she grew sleepy and closed her eyes.

Ouyang Jin looked at Shangguan Qian who was sleeping soundly, a faint smile on his face as he said in a low voice, "Little rascal, you clearly know that you can't resist, but you still try to be brave."

He then lowered his head to examine her wounds. After confirming that it was only a light injury, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, he actually dared to hurt one of his men! He was truly courting death.

In the morning, Shangguan Qian stretched comfortably, but he felt something was wrong. When he sat up abruptly, he realized that his undergarment was hanging loose and cool on his body.

Damn Ouyang Jin! He cursed in his heart and quickly put on his clothes before letting out a sigh of relief.

It was just that he had slept soundly last night. He had previously slept soundly. He would have nightmares and a tired heart, but he had slept through the night.

"Princess, the empress invites you to dine at the Tzu Ning Palace."

Shangguan Qian nodded, tidied himself up briefly, and then followed Dong Mei to the Palace of Tzu Ning.

Inside the palace, it was not luxurious. It was plain and simple everywhere.

The Queen leaned against the soft couch. Beside her, a censer was steaming and the room was emitting a faint fragrance.

"Qian'Er greets the empress."

The empress raised an eyebrow as she sized her up. She felt her eyes brighten up, as if she had seen too many layers of makeup and makeup done in the palace. Now that she couldn't put on any makeup, she felt rather comfortable looking at it.

"Qian'er, no need to be so polite."

Only then did Shangguan Qian stand up, smiling faintly at the empress in a generous manner.

"Dong Mei, sit." The empress smiled as she spoke, looking at her with a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.

"Thank you, esteemed empress."

"Qian'Er, it was all thanks to you saving me yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known what would have happened. I've been the queen for ten years, but this is the first time I've seen something like this." The empress sighed, her heart still throbbing with fear.

"This is what Qian'Er should do."

"There's nothing in this world that shouldn't be done. It's the truth that you saved me." The empress's eyebrows shot up as she spoke with an imposing tone, "I only have two princes in my life without a daughter. How about I adopt you as my goddaughter today?"

Shangguan Qian Qian was obviously rather flattered when he heard this, saying in a low voice: "Qian'er, what ability do you have?"

"Qian'er is a well-behaved, sensible girl, which suits my interests very well. Qian'er, don't shirk from me."

Shangguan Qian Bei stood up, tears brimming in his eyes as he knelt in front of the Empress.

"Qian'er thanks mother."

The Queen nodded, looking at Shangguan Qian in front of her. She did not pretend to be fake, but that was not bad. Furthermore, she had saved her yesterday, and she should have been rewarded, but she felt that the reward was too perfunctory.

It was a good way to be considered a goddaughter, let alone a person who was close to her.

"Get up." The empress held her hand with a smile, taking the injured jade green bracelet and placing it on her wrist. "This bracelet has followed me for many years, and now I'm giving it to you as a gift."

"How can Qian'Er handle it?" Shangguan Qian quickly took off his bracelet.

"Don't pick it. I've always valued fate. I like Qian'Er very much."

Only then did Shangguan Qian accept the bracelet.

"Qian'Er, you have a good relationship with Old Eighth?" The Queen changed the subject and asked.

Shangguan Qian Qian raised his head and gave the empress a deep look, the empress really did give her another slap, she had just taken her as his goddaughter, and now he was mentioning Li Qingying's matter.

It was obvious that Li Qingying had been overly concerned with her last night and had already attracted the empress's attention.

"Qian'Er and the eighth prince met by chance, so they didn't have much interaction."

The empress gave her a deep look, knowing exactly what was going on.

However, she could not just sit by and watch as Ol 'Eight fell into Shangguan Qian's trap.

Besides, she wanted to kill Ol 'Eight in time. Judging from Shangguan Qian's words, she obviously did not think much of Ol' Eight.

"So that's how it is. Eighth Bro is such a prankster, please don't take him seriously, Qian Chao."

"I won't." Shangguan Qian Qian quickly replied. She had never wanted to get close to Li Qing Ying, as Li Qing Ying was the type of person she could hide from.

"That's good. After all, Qian'Er is the third prince's fiancée. Don't let others know that you've made a name for yourself." The Queen came to her senses.

Shangguan Qian'er naturally understood, nodding his head heavily as he said: "Qian'er will keep his distance from the eighth prince in the future."

"Good boy."

Just then, a light blue dressed Li Qing Ying walked in.

"Qian'Er, how are you doing?" Is the wound still painful? "

The first thing the eighth prince did upon entering the palace was to inquire about Shangguan Qian's matters, and he totally did not notice the Empress at the side, his face changing dramatically.

"Old Eighth only has Qian'Er in his eyes?" have you forgotten about me, the Queen Mother? "

Li Qingying laughed as he walked to the empress's side and hugged her shoulders. "Imperial Mother, what are you saying? How could Old Eighth not have a mother in his eyes?"

"You just came in and you keep asking Qian'Er. I think you have already forgotten about me." The empress pushed at his shoulder, her tone clearly tinged with complaint.

On the side, Shangguan Qian burst out in laughter, "The eighth prince and Imperial Mother are on good terms."

Hearing her words, Li Qing Ying couldn't help but be stunned, "Qian'Er, why do you call me 'mother'?"
