The surrounding wind seemed to have grown stronger, causing her to feel a chill all over her body. She stared blankly at Li Qing Ying, her brows knitted tightly.

Shangguan Qian'er walked towards him, frowning. He didn't know why, but the person in front of her gave her the impression that he was a stranger.

She was filled with indifference and estrangement, which made her feel terrified.

Although he already knew that none of the princes in the palace were not scheming at all, he felt really sad to see Li Qingying at this very moment.

"Li Qing Ying …" She whispered his name, her delicate and pretty face somewhat probing as she asked, "You're waiting for me here?"

Li Qingying's eyes were cold as his lips curled up into a mocking smile, "You could say so."

She took a deep breath. She was fully armed when she came, so no one would recognize her, right?

Why did Li Qingying suddenly appear? Could it be that Li Qingying had been following her all this time?

"Stop guessing, I'm not following you." Li Qingying's eyes were filled with anger, and his eyes were filled with rage. He had originally thought that she liked Li Fengyi.

However, she had never thought that she would have any relationship with an Imperial Advisor. She did not even hesitate to enter his palace in the middle of the night.

Shangguan Qian, why are you such a water lily?

Li Qingying's heart was filled with depression. Why was the woman that he had always wanted to treat so well like this?

At this moment, it was as if an invisible steel knife had fiercely pulled on his heart.

The pain was excruciating, so painful that one would rather die.

Shangguan Qian'er pursed his lips, looking at him seriously. Although the look in his eyes was complicated, he did not know what he was really thinking.

"Eighth prince, I'm going back."

I might as well stop arguing with him. He walked over to the side, but before he could get out, Li Qing Ying grabbed his wrist.

His strength was so strong that it almost broke her wrist.

Shangguan Qian sucked in a breath of cold air, and his breathing grew ragged as he said: "Eighth Prince, let go!"

Li Qingying's eyes were filled with pain as he asked in a low voice, "Why did you come here?"

"Are you crazy?" She struggled with her heart full of anger. What was going on? Li Qingying was truly baffled.

Li Qingying glared at her fiercely and dragged her by the hand into the cold palace, pressing her against a cold and gloomy wall.

Shangguan Qian's voice was muffled as tears welled up in his eyes. He raised his head to look at Jiang Chen with a hint of anger on his face.

"Li Qingying, enough of you. If you continue to be so impudent, I'll …"

Li Qingying pressed her back against the wall and asked in a low voice, "So what?"

Shangguan Qian'er pursed his lips, the surroundings were a barren wasteland, no one had ever passed by.

Furthermore, she couldn't yell. If she did, wouldn't she have attracted the attention of everyone?

What was it that people saw? The princess was unwilling to be left alone. Lonely, entering the palace in the middle of the night to meet with the eighth prince privately?

If she was discovered by others, she would probably spit all over.

Gritting his lips, he raised his head to look at the enraged Li Qingying and asked in a low voice, "Li Qingying, have you lost your mind?"

"Yes, I've already gone mad. Shangguan Qian, I don't care about you and Li Fengyi, but why did you provoke the Imperial Advisor?"

"What?" She looked at him in surprise. What was this guy trying to say?

"From the time of the hunt, I noticed that you and the Imperial Advisor weren't that simple. I didn't expect you would be hit by me today!" Li Qingying spoke word by word, his eyes filled with pain.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shangguan Qian was a little angry, and his face turned ugly to the extreme. Why did this come from Li Qing Ying's mouth?

Nothing had happened between her and Ouyang Jin. Even though Ouyang Jin was usually naughty towards her, the truth had never come to pass. Why would Li Qingying accuse her wrongly?

Li Qingying gave a mocking smile, "What are you still arguing about?" I can see you walking out of the Imperial Advisor's palace! "

Shangguan Qian was truly angered by his question, his foot stomped hard on his foot, as he pushed him aside in a calm manner while he was in pain.

"Li Qing Ying!" What does my business have to do with you? I only saved you out of kindness, I don't mind, why should you care? Besides, what about me? What does it have to do with you? Don't think that you're being sentimental! "

Shangguan Qian also admitted that those words were a little heartless, but for him, if he did not say it out loud, he would probably need to correct himself. Bind her.

Sure enough, Li Qingying's expression became especially stiff as he asked in a deep voice, "Is that what you think in your heart?"

"What else do you think?"

Li Qing Ying nodded, and her voice became deeper, "Qian'Er, do you know how much pressure I am bearing? On one hand, the Queen did not want me to date you, but you rejected me, hur hur. "

He leaned low against the wall. "You're the most special woman I've ever met."

"There are a lot of women in this world, Shangguan Qian is not the only one."

"Yes, there are many women in this world, but you, Shangguan Qian, only have one." Li Qingying sighed, "It was me who lost control. I saw you coming out of the Imperial Advisor's palace, so I lost control."

"I have nothing to do with him." Shangguan Qian'er bit her lips and said softly, she felt like she was trying to explain herself, but what was she trying to explain to Li Qing Ying? He truly felt that he had become unfathomable.

Or did she deliberately not want others to know about her relationship with Ouyang Jin?

"Nothing?" Sure enough, upon hearing this, Li Qingying's eyes lit up, "So you're saying that I still have a chance?"

"I thought I said it clearly enough." Shangguan Qing sighed, his expression showing helplessness.

Li Qingying looked at the woman in front of her and felt that she had gone too far. He smiled and said, "Qian'Er, I'm sorry. I lost control. How about this, I'll send you back."

"There's no need. Eighth Prince, it's best if we don't have any further contact with each other, this way we don't fall behind." Shangguan Qian said coldly, walking away.

Her steps were hurried. She was afraid that Li Qingying would catch up to them again. After walking for a while and realizing that no one was following her, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

He really didn't know what Li Qingying was thinking. Like her?

It was a pity that in this life, she had only come for revenge. She had never thought about matters of the heart before. Furthermore, her heart had already died a long time ago.

She hurriedly left the palace gate, but she did not know that someone was following her from a distance, neither close nor close. She only stopped chasing after her after she had left the palace gate.

"Eighth prince, the crown prince wants to see you."

A shrill voice sounded from behind Li Qingying. His expression instantly turned serious as he sighed and walked towards the Crown Prince Palace.

It was already late into the night. The Crown Prince was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.

"Royal brother, you're looking for me?" Li Qing Ying asked with a dejected expression.

The Crown Prince turned around and glanced at him coldly. The solemn expression on his face became even more pronounced.

"Eighth brother, are you going to destroy our plan because of a woman?"

"Royal brother, what do you mean?" Li Qingying's heart skipped a few beats, his expression turning ugly. Could it be that the Crown Prince had also discovered Shangguan Qian's matter?

The crown prince glared at him and whispered, "Don't think that I don't know! Shangguan Qian is Li Fengyi's person, how can you be so close to her? "

"Royal brother, Qian'Er won't help Li Fengyi." Although Li Qingying said this, he didn't have any confidence.

How could he be sure that it was not Li Fengyi who had planned for Shangguan Qian Bei to save him last time?

Was it to let Shangguan Qian get close to him and gain his good impression?

"You can guarantee that she didn't approach you for Li Fengyi's sake?" The Crown Prince asked harshly.

He was clear about the Crown Prince's worries, but he did not believe that Shangguan Qian Chao was sent by Li Fengyi.

"She didn't approach me."

It had always been Li Qingying trying to get close to Shangguan Qian, but she had never taken the initiative to get close to him.

"You, ah, are really befuddled. Stop getting in contact with her, I'll handle this matter!" The Crown Prince spoke in a low voice.

Li Qing Ying's expression changed, and asked anxiously: "Elder brother, what are you planning to do?" Qian'Er is innocent, don't do anything to her! "

The Crown Prince glared at him and said in a low voice, "It's getting late. Go back and rest!"

Li Qing Ying looked at him with a conflicted expression. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't. With a sigh, she turned and left.

A hint of malice appeared in the Crown Prince's eyes. He could tell that Shangguan Qian was a woman with a particularly scheming mind, he could not let Qing Ying fall, and he could only take care of Shangguan Qian!

By the time Shangguan Qian returned to his residence, it was already very late. Just as he passed by the side chamber, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and flipped over the wall swiftly.

She hid behind a wall and her expression instantly froze. In this side chamber, there were only two people: Cui Zhu and Hong Ying, so …

She sighed and walked into her room.

She put her cloak to the side, did not light a candle, and sat down on a nearby chair to pour a cup of tea.

The hand that was drinking the tea was instantly frozen. Something was not right in this house! There was a second person.

Thinking of this, her nerves immediately tensed up. She turned her head to look at the bedside and indeed saw a black shadow sitting there.

Her heart beat so hard that cold sweat broke out all over her body.

In the middle of the night, without lighting any candles, it would be strange to see someone sitting by the bed and not be scared.

However, her expression was still relatively calm. She coldly stared at the black shadow beside the bed, not even daring to move.

She had said that there were no evil spirits in this world. If there really were, then she was that evil ghost!

Shangguan Qian took a deep breath, dispelling the fear in his heart.

"Who?"

"Little girl, it's me." A hoarse voice rang out, carrying a hint of yearning.

Shangguan Qian was stunned, especially when he heard 'little girl' making her eyes water.

With some disbelief, she stood up and walked to the bedside. Under the curtains, who else could it be other than Nightingale?

"Nightingale!" "Where have you been?" she said in surprise, and then punched him on the shoulder. It's been so long! "

Nightingale took her hand and pulled her directly into her embrace. Shangguan Qian was stunned for a moment and didn't react. To be exact, he didn't expect Nightingale to suddenly hug her.

"Nightingale, are you okay?" She murmured, her heart aching, for months, Nightingale had not heard from her, she thought, Nightingale has already …

Luckily, he had appeared again, and Shangguan Qian's worry was lifted.

"Little girl, I'm already in your arms. Can you tell me?" Nightingale teased, patted her on the back, and sighed, "Oh, it was hard to come out, I just had to hug you, and then I would be satisfied."

Shangguan Qian pushed him away, the person in front of her couldn't really see him in the darkness, but she could feel that Nightingale had lost a lot of weight.

"You were caught?"

Nightingale smiled bitterly and stretched her back, "Don't mention it, it's really bad luck."

There was a trace of anger in his voice, but there was nothing he could do.

"Who exactly captured you? And how did he manage to escape? " Shangguan Qian asked curiously.
