Shangguan Qian Yu staggered, almost falling down, lips pursed as he looked at the man beside his with a slightly ugly expression on his face.

She knew that Ouyang Jin was angry at her for not telling him beforehand.

"Cough cough …" She walked over to him, "Honored Imperial Advisor."

"Hoh, you've got guts. You clearly knew that Manager Li wanted to harm you, yet you still dared to come over?" Ouyang Jin sarcastically opened his mouth and pulled her to his side.

"Do you think you've lived too long?"

"No." Shangguan Qian Qian shook his head. She was a person who valued his life very much, how could he think that he had lived for too long?

Ouyang Jin held onto her collar like a chick and walked up to a large rock.

After leaving the cliff, the originally cold feeling was instantly relieved.

"Why don't you think about it? What if I don't show up? "

"Didn't you come?" Shangguan Qian'er's words were natural, as if he had long since been certain that the man beside his would appear, and that she would not be in any danger.

Of course, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't feel that she was that important to Ouyang Jin.

However, she felt that she was definitely useful to Ouyang Jin. She still remembered that Young Master Sheng had once mentioned the 'medicine primer'.

Although she didn't know if the little Sheng Zi was talking about her, she was sure that Ouyang Jin wouldn't put her in danger for the time being.

And the reason why Ouyang Jin was so angry was because she had schemed against him once again.

This was why he was so furious.

"Little Qian'Er, it's your fortune that I care about you. You'd better not take that as capital, otherwise, I'll let you have a taste of falling from heaven into hell!" His face was cold and grave, as if he was really angry.

"I know." Shangguan Qian lowered his head and replied softly, tugging at his clothes, "Honored Imperial Advisor, there is one more thing I need your help with."

"What else do you want to use me for?" He asked in a low voice, his tone especially vile, as if he was sulking.

"It's a very simple matter." A trace of wisdom appeared in the corners of Shangguan Qian's eyes. The light then glanced at Butler Li who was still unconscious.

Since Butler Li had attacked her so viciously, she would be even more ruthless towards him, causing him to live his entire life in guilt and never be forgiven.

The autumn wind rustled, the wind at the mouth was especially cold. Steward Li slowly woke up.

In the darkness of the night, along with the occasional sound of the wind, a trace of anger appeared on his face.

Damn it, I was really careless. I actually fell down and even fainted from the fall!

He casually wiped his forehead, which had a fishy smell to it. He must have hit his head when he fell.

Butler Li stood up and saw a woman lying beside him in the darkness.

However, the candlelight had already been extinguished, so he could only examine the person in front of him with the help of Moonlight.

Without any suspense, the person who was still unconscious at his side was definitely the one who had been stunned by him just now, Shangguan Qian.

He scooped up the person on the ground and a moan came out of her mouth.

"Help …"

The wind was blowing strongly, and when Butler Li heard a sound, he panicked even more. He quickly dragged her to the edge of the cliff.

At this moment, his nerves were tense. He wanted to cut the mess and throw her down so that she wouldn't see him.

Thinking of this, he wanted to push her down.

However, her hands were tightly grabbing onto his clothes. He was a bit agitated, so he kicked towards her stomach.

After a moment of silence, she fell to the ground, trying her best to climb to a safe position.

Housekeeper Li stood in front of her with a sneer on his face. He grabbed her hair and pulled her up. He gave her a violent push and threw her off the cliff.

An ear-piercing scream rang out. Hearing that voice, Butler Li was stunned for a moment.

Why did he feel that this voice …

It sounded like Li Danyeng's voice? Impossible, he had clearly thrown Shangguan Qian down just now.

What's more, didn't Li Danyeng go back to the General's Estate? It couldn't possibly be here.

Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly headed back.

As he walked into the temple, he saw many torches rushing towards him.

His heart sank as he guessed, could it be that someone discovered that Shangguan Qian had disappeared?

"Butler Li?" Li Fengyi asked with a slightly surprised tone, "Why are you here?"

"I …" Housekeeper Li hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice, "This servant couldn't sleep at night, so I came out for a walk."

"Have you seen Qian'Er?"

Butler Li's heart sank as he hurriedly shook his head, "No, I didn't see the princess."

Cui Zhu followed beside Li Fengyi, crying as he opened his mouth, "It's already so late, and the temple is surrounded by cliffs, please do not let anything happen to the princess."

Once Cui Zhu said this, Li Fengyi became even more agitated. He asked in a deep voice, "Where did Qian'Er go?"

"Third Prince, at that time, it was Princess Sen Ya who sent someone to call her away. She said that they were going to the back mountain together."

"Behind the mountain? "Where to?" With Li Fengyi's expression, they all rushed to the room where Sen Ya was resting.

Sen Ya walked out with a tired face. She looked at the crowd and was stunned. "What are you doing?"

"You followed Qian'Er to the back of the mountain?" Li Fengyi sullenly asked.

Sen Ya had a doubtful look on her face as she shook her head. "No, I rested early. I didn't go to find her."

"What?" Li Fengyi had a gloomy look on his face, "Cui Zhu, look, that servant called Qian'Er away."

Cui Zhu looked around and shook her head, "No one."

"Third Prince, the mountains behind us are cliffs. Is it even possible for the princess to miss her footing …" Butler Li said in a low voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Fengyi's expression froze. If something really happened here, then how would he explain this to Big Ripple?

Ye Zichen frowned, he didn't see any Heroic Assassins in the crowd.

A strange scene flashed in his heart. Could it be that the Heroic Assassin had taken Qian'Er away?

"Let's go to the back of the mountain."

The group of people headed towards the back of the mountain. The mountain was already steep, and it was full of rocks. Everyone walked carefully.

"Eh, there's someone here." Sen Ya followed. As it was cold, she hid by the side of the mountain cliff and saw a person lying prone on the ground.

Her voice caught everyone's attention. Li Fengyi walked over with large strides to inspect the corpse.

The corpse was still warm, a young servant, but not Shangguan Qian.

"Take him down and wake him up!" Li Fengyi said in a deep voice.

The group of people searched through all the mountains again, but they could not find Shangguan Qian's whereabouts.

In the depths of their hearts, all of them had guessed that the odds were against Shangguan Qian.

The back of the mountain was dangerous to begin with, and Shangguan Qian was just a young lady. If he lost his footing here, wouldn't he fall down?

"Third Prince, this servant feels that if the Princess misses her footing and falls, the odds are against us. We might as well wait until the sun shines before we head down to search for her." Butler Li suggested.

"Manager Li, what you said is not right. If Shangguan Qian really fell off the cliff, what if she is still alive?" If this night passes, I'm afraid I'll freeze her to death. " Sen Ya said loudly.

Butler Li lowered his head and said with a helpless tone, "It's just that the mountain is very dangerous now. If we rashly rush down, the losses will not make up for the losses."

"Shangguan Qian, as the grand princess of Dali, how can you compare to a few servants?"

Sen Ya's words made Butler Li's old face turn hot. He had a gloomy face, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

Li Fengyi looked deeply at Sen Ya and nodded in agreement, "Princess Sen Ya is right. If Qian'Er really fell down, we would have gone down earlier. Perhaps we could have saved her. Prepare, go down the mountain!"

The servants hurriedly went back to retrieve a rope and a series of other items before heading down a steep path.

Li Fengyi glanced at Sen Ya and said in a deep voice, "Sen Ya, you don't need to go down. The cliff is very dangerous."

"Li Fengyi, you care about me?" Her eyes lit up as she joked.

His expression stiffened and his tone became somewhat irritated, "I'm not sure if I'll live or die for now, but I'm not in the mood to listen to the princess' teasing. The cliff is dangerous, and the princess isn't afraid of death, so I'll follow her."

After Li Fengyi finished speaking, he walked down the cliff with large strides.

As for Sen Ya, she did not want to be outdone, so she followed closely behind. As she walked, there was no sign of fear in her expression.

Steward Li's face was grim. It was still night, and he did not know if he would be able to find Shangguan Qian's corpse.

It seemed that he could only rely on his memory to find the exact location of the corpse.

Otherwise, who knew when they would find it?

The group walked for a full four hours before reaching the bottom of the valley. The valley was filled with grass as tall as a person, making it extremely difficult to find anyone.

The group carefully plowed through the grass. The atmosphere was especially solemn, with not a single sound coming from them.

Butler Li raised his head and looked at the location of the cliff.

If the body did fall into the pile of rocks, there would be no chance of survival.

Thinking of this, Butler Li revealed a strange smile.

"Butler Li, did you find anything?" Sen Ya caught up to him and looked at the pile of rocks. Suddenly, a black object caught her attention.

Her hair immediately stood on end as she loudly asked, "Butler Li, what is that thing?"

He followed her gaze and saw something that looked like a corpse.

He walked over slowly. A cold wind blew, causing him to bleed. A fishy smell assaulted his nose.

"Third Prince, we've found him!"

Steward Li's words had completely destroyed Li Fengyi's last hope.

His face was grim and his heart felt as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand.

Even when Sun Yuetao had died, he had never been like this, but why did he have to do this to Shangguan Qian …

Her voice was a little hoarse as she asked in a low voice, "Can … "But a corpse?"

Subconsciously, he still hoped for Shangguan Qian to survive. However, the position that Butler Li had locked down was a pile of rocks. If he really fell down, where would he be able to survive?

"It really is a corpse!" Sen Ya screamed out in fear. She strode to Li Fengyi's side and grabbed his arm tightly.

Li Fengyi's brain was completely numb. He even forgot to shake off Sen Ya as he walked with large strides to the pile of rocks. As expected, he saw a corpse.

The torch was brought over. Judging from the hair ornament, it was indeed a woman.

Furthermore, it seemed like it had just fallen, and all of this proved to him that the corpse in front of him was Shangguan Qian's.

His brows tightly knitted together as a hint of pain flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Butler Li, send someone to clean up and take him away."

Butler Li quickly nodded and turned around to look at the corpses in the pile of rocks.

If he fell here, of course, even his bones would have been broken. In addition, the sky was too dark, so no one had any way of proving who this corpse was.

The group climbed up the cliff once more, and the sky started to brighten.

Li Fengyi had a serious face. Even while walking on the cliff, he couldn't help but sigh.

He just couldn't believe it was real. He was fine during the day, so how could he die at night?

Moreover, he really suspected, just who asked her to go up the back of the mountain?

Ye Zichen subconsciously looked at Sen Ya, who was beside him. There was fear in her eyes, and she also fell silent.

"Sen Ya, did you really not invite Qian'Er to go to the back mountain?" he asked with a calm face.

Sen Ya's eyebrows twitched, and she quickly retorted, "I rested a long time ago, and did not make an appointment with Shangguan Qian at all. Who knows who asked her to come to the back of the mountain!"
