Shangguan Qian'er smiled faintly and said: "Mother has taken Qian'er as her goddaughter."

Li Qingying's expression froze as he stared deeply at the Queen. He seemed to have realized something, but he didn't say anything.

"Qian'Er is so obedient. I still feel like I haven't met Qian'Er before." The empress smiled warmly.

However, Li Qingying seemed to have lost all his spirit, just like an eggplant.

At this moment, a eunuch walked in from outside and reported, "Esteemed Empress, a corpse floated up from the lotus pond."

"What?" Have you found out who it is? "

"It seems to be the Third Prince's Mansion's mama."

Shangguan Qian's expression changed as he hurriedly said, "Don't tell me it's Senior Servant Bai?" "Imperial Mother, I need to go and confirm with you."

"Since you are from the Third Prince's Mansion, you should go take a look." The empress spoke up.

Shangguan Qian followed the young eunuch to the lotus pond, looking at the familiar clothes, he was sure it was Senior Servant Bai.

However, her entire body was swollen and her face couldn't be seen clearly.

"He must have slipped and fell off the bridge." A nearby eunuch spoke out.

Shangguan Qian furrowed his brow, a hint of chill on his face as he thought about what had happened yesterday.

It was a good thing that Chasing Wind had testified yesterday. Otherwise, Li Fengyi would have suspected her.

"Qian'Er, is she really the Senior Servant of the Third Prince's Mansion?"

Li Qingying's voice came from behind him. He couldn't help but turn around and glance at him. "It's Senior Servant Bai."

Li Qing Ying's face was tense. He was no longer as sloppy as before. He actually looked a bit uncomfortable.

"Since he's dead, let's send him back to the Third Prince's Mansion. Follow me." Li Qing Ying turned and left.

Looking at his retreating back, Shangguan Qian hesitated for a moment before following him.

In a small corner of the lotus pond, Li Qingying was frowning as if he was thinking about something.

"Eighth Prince, what do you have to say to Qian'Er? In a while, Feng Zhizi will come to take me home. "

Shangguan Qian had guessed what he was about to say, so he brought up Li Fengyi first.

Li Qingying frowned with a hint of anger between his brows. He reached out to pull her over and pulled his into his embrace, "Shangguan Qian, why did muhou accept you as his goddaughter?"

"Little Jun, I don't know. Eighth Prince, please behave yourself." She pushed at him with a frown, but he held his tighter.

Li Qingying seemed to be a carefree person, but his mind wasn't like this. It was clear that she had guessed something.

"Shangguan Qian, can you not marry Li Fengyi?"

He frowned like a stubborn child who hadn't gotten his hands on sugar.

Shangguan Qian looked at him calmly, saying coldly: "No."

Saying so, he pushed his hands away and turned around to leave. However, he soon felt a surge of warmth behind him, and he was already holding on to it.

"Eighth prince, let me go!"

Li Qing Ying hugged her tightly, but he didn't notice that his arm was pressed against her wound.

She sucked in a breath of cold air in pain and struggled fiercely, but what she got in return was even greater pain.

Soon, blood began to seep out from the bandaged area.

"Shangguan Qian, I want you to be my imperial concubine, don't marry Li Fengyi, marry me."

"Let go of me!" Shangguan Qian's voice was hoarse as he said in a low voice, "My wound …"

"Let her go!" With a low roar, Li Fengyi suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. He pushed away Li Qingying and pulled her into his embrace.

"Li Fengyi!" Li Qing Ying laughed mockingly, then looked towards Shangguan Qian'er and said in a deep voice, "Qian'Er, since you haven't married him yet, I have a chance."

With that, he turned around and left.

Shangguan Qian's arm was about to go numb from the pain. He said with a mournful face, "My wound …"

Li Fengyi's face darkened. Only now did he notice that her wounds had been reopened. He spoke up nervously, "That damnable Li Qingying, Qian'er, let's go find the imperial physician."

After re-bandaging the wound, Shangguan Qian felt that Li Fengyi was sulking.

His face had been gloomy the entire time, and he did not speak. It was unknown just what he was thinking.

"Feng Yi." Shangguan Qian held his hand and said hoarsely, "Senior Bai, she …"

"I already know." Li Fengyi sighed. "I've checked. There aren't any injuries on Senior Servant Bai's body. He must have fallen off the bridge and drowned to death."

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't taken a walk after drinking, Senior Servant Bai wouldn't have done so." Shangguan Qian squeezed out two tears, saying sorrowfully.

Li Fengyi consoled her by holding her in his arms, "It's none of your business."

Although that was what he said, deep down, he still felt a sense of disgust. Li Qingying had actually hugged Shangguan Qian, and was even declaring war on him!

If he wanted to snatch Shangguan Qian from him, he would have to let him go. It seemed that he had to get rid of Li Qing Ying and save him from blocking his way.

Li Fengyi followed Shangguan Qian to bid farewell to the empress, then sat in a luxurious carriage that the empress had specially sent back to the mansion.

It was not often that the Empress thought of him as her goddaughter, and Shangguan Qian's ability to do so was out of the Consort's expectations.

Peace Garden –

The imperial concubine sat calmly on a chair, looking at the corpse of Senior Servant Bai in the center of the room, and said solemnly, "What a good Shangguan Qian!"

"Wan-Er, don't worry." Butler Li hastened to comfort her, "Shangguan Qian is just a foreign princess who came to Great Yan from abroad. Normally, there wouldn't be any influence in Great Yan, but she was safe and sound during this banquet."

"But since Senior Servant Bai died miserably, there's only one explanation."

"What explanation?" The imperial concubine asked with a cold expression.

"Someone is secretly helping Shangguan Qian!" Housekeeper Li's expression was grave. "This time she's gotten the empress's favor again. If we don't make a move now, we won't have another chance."

"Empress? However, it was exactly because Little Foot had blocked a blade for her that he had accepted her as his goddaughter. How could she care about Shangguan Qian? " The imperial concubine's expression was ferocious, her eyes filled with viciousness.

"Since you can't come out in the open, then come out in the dark." Butler Li's face became gloomy.

Third Prince's Mansion –

Shangguan Qian let Li Fengyi help him off the carriage, and before he could even enter the mansion, a woman blocked his path.

"Third Prince." Sen Ya looked at Li Fengyi with eyes full of love.

Li Fengyi seemed to be slightly disgusted as he asked in a low voice, "Why is Princess Sen Ya here?"

"I was waiting for you, didn't the empress say yesterday that she wanted us to interact more? So I came. " Sen Ya giggled, "Your name is Shangguan Qian, right? "Move aside."

Shangguan Qian Qian gave her a seat with a smile, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Originally, there was already a Li Dancheng in the house, but now there was another Sen Ya. This was truly too noisy.

"Princess Sen Ya, how many times have I told you? I won't marry you!" Li Fengyi shook off her arm and walked towards Shangguan Qian.

Annoyed, Sen Ya pouted and hurriedly chased after him. "We can slowly cultivate our relationship. Maybe one day you will find that I am better than her."

"Not interested."

"Big brother Yi, you're back." A loud female voice rang out, and soon after, Li Dancheng appeared, wearing a light blue dress.

"Who is she?" Sen Ya asked with a confused expression. When she saw Li Danyeng's limping feet, she laughed out loud, "So she was a cripple."

The word Li Danyeng dreaded the most was Cripple, and no one in the mansion dared to say it behind her back. This unknown woman actually dared to speak without restraint. Truly deserved death!

"Damned girl. You actually dare to call me a cripple!" Li Danyeng roared and pounced towards her.

Sen Ya nimbly dodged the attack. The smile on her face deepened. "Idiot, you're a cripple. How could you outrun me?"

"Damned bitch, I'm going to kill you!" Li Danyeng roared in anger.

Shangguan Qian Qian looked at the two noisy women and the corners of his mouth twitched as he looked towards Li Fengyi.

"Feng Yi, I'm tired. I'll go back first."

"Qian'Er, this Princess Sen Ya …" Li Fengyi's expression was somewhat ugly and he wanted to explain.

Shangguan Qian shrugged as if he did not care, "Sen Ya's personality is similar to Dan Feng, I am already used to it."

Finishing his words, Li Fengyi smiled lightly, turned around and left.

On the other side, Li Danyeng and Sen Ya were at loggerheads and no one was willing to let each other go.

Li Fengyi glanced at them, his brows furrowed, sighed, and walked towards the Peace Garden.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Senior Servant Bai's corpse placed in the middle of the room and couldn't help but sigh.

"Mufei …"

"Feng Yi, tell me, what exactly happened yesterday?" asked the imperial concubine in a low voice.

Li Fengyi narrated the entire process in detail, and in the end, he couldn't help but speak up. "Chasing Wind has always been by Qian'Er's side, so I didn't see Senior Bai."

When the imperial concubine heard this, she sneered with a sharp tone, "How do you know that Chasing Wind isn't lying?"

Li Fengyi frowned and explained, "Zhui Feng is my man, I know him, he won't lie."

"Poor Senior Servant Bai. She spent her entire life serving the estate, but in the end, something like this happened." The imperial concubine sighed and said with a sigh.

"Mufei, Senior Servant Bai was just an accident. Feng Yi will bury Senior Servant Bai deeply."

"Forget it, forget it. He's already dead. What's the use of talking about it?"

"Mufei, don't be sad too."

"Aunt!" Look at this damned girl who tore my new clothes! " Li Danyeng's unhappy voice came from outside.

Soon, two figures walked in at the same time, and the one that followed behind Li Danyeng was surprisingly Sen Ya.

The two of them were in a sorry state. It was obvious that they had fought intensely.

"You are the third prince's mother? Then quickly order him to marry me! " Sen Ya boldly said.

"Why are you so shameless, woman? Even if you beg Big Brother Yi, Big Brother Yi won't marry you!" Li Danyeng angrily retorted.

Sen Ya did not show any weakness. "Why?" So what if I let the Third Prince marry me? If you don't want to marry me, could it be that I will marry you? "

What she said was straightforward, but it made the usually daring Li Danyeng's face turn red. She angrily glared at Sen Ya, then coldly snorted and quickly ran away.

"Third Prince, isn't she your cousin? You don't like you, do you? " Sen Ya asked with a surprised look on her face.

And her words made the imperial concubine hear. Li Danyeng's actions just now were indeed very similar to a little girl who was in love.

She couldn't really be fond of running away from the upper hand, right? How could this be allowed?

Thinking of this, her expression slightly changed. It seemed that she would have to ask Dan Feng about it when she had time.

"Princess Sen Ya, I've said it very clearly. I won't marry you. If you like the crown prince, you can go and ask the crown prince to marry you." Li Fengyi said in a deep voice.

"So you are the Turkic princess, Sen Ya?" The imperial concubine looked at Sen Ya and her eyes lit up as she asked with a smile.

"Yeah."

"Princess Sen Ya is truly beautiful. Since we've arrived at the mansion, let's have lunch together." The imperial concubine smiled as she spoke.

When Li Fengyi heard this, his brows wrinkled. In his heart, he was wondering, what does mufei mean? And he still wanted to leave Sen Ya to eat at the mansion?

Then where did he put Shangguan Qian?

He had never planned on doing anything with Sen Ya in the first place, and now that he had so many more fundamentals with Sen Ya, he was truly afraid that Shangguan Qian would be unhappy.
