There were many eunuchs and maids watching from the side, but Li Qingying didn't dare to step forward to take a look.

Although he was worried, he knew that if Shangguan Qian was not the empress, it would be the Crown Prince.

So he couldn't get close to her.

Ouyang Jin was clad in a black robe with a huge rose flower embroidered with golden threads. His white hair was casually draped over his shoulders and a smile was on his beautiful face.

Just a single glance was enough to make people feel that he was an otherworldly existence that was like an exiled immortal.

However, when it came to the words of a deity, she felt that his smile was filled with evil.

He was also like a ghost that had climbed out of hell.

She was devilishly beautiful, yet she carried a bizarre look with her.

He quickly lowered his head and pinched the young eunuch's chin with his hand. With just a slight force, the young eunuch's jaw was dislocated.

"There's poison in his teeth."

It was a calm, indifferent voice, and from start to finish, he had not even glanced at Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian held onto his arm, a hint of anger in his eyes as he said in a low voice: "Does the eighth prince know this little eunuch?"

Her tone wasn't good, so Li Qingying could sense the meaning behind her words.

She also guessed that it must have been because of him that he attacked her, right?

His cheeks were a little hot as he whispered, "I don't know him. Eunuch Li, hand him over to the clan's manor."

Eunuch Li, who was serving by the empress's side, nodded, his eyes deep. "This servant will go right away."

"Qian'Er, are you alright?" Sen Ya rushed into the crowd with a limp. Her face changed when she saw that her arm was covered in blood.

"This eunuch is really not a good person!"

"Senya, what happened to your foot?" Shangguan Qian Bei asked as he looked at her covered in dust, his sleeves even having a big path carved into them.

Sen Ya's face was full of embarrassment. She pursed her lips and said, "I ran too fast and fell down."

Shangguan Qian looked deeply at Sen Ya, feeling a little touched. In truth, she could pretend as if nothing had happened. After all, what did Sen Ya's life or death have to do with his?

It was just that she had not expected that Ning Xuemo would actually go to the palace to tell the empress and that she had rushed over so quickly.

It seemed that Sen Ya truly treated her well. At the very least, she didn't have that kind of intention towards her.

"Let's go bandage the wound first, Qian'Er." Li Qingying spoke up nervously.

Shangguan Qian Bei nodded, allowing the palace maids to support him as he left.

After everyone had dispersed, Li Qingying cast a cold glance at Ouyang Jin, who was gracefully standing at the side, and asked in a deep voice, "Why is the Imperial Advisor here?"

"Passing by."

"Passing by? The Imperial Advisor's palace is not here, how could it be possible to pass by here? " Li Qing Ying's tone became more and more sinister, his eyes full of jealousy.

Ouyang Jin raised his eyes as his lips curled up into a mocking smile, "I'll go wherever I want. The eighth prince seems to care too much."

Li Qingying's face was as if covered with a layer of ice. He took a step forward, and said aggressively, "Are you deliberately following by Qian'Er's side?"

Ouyang Jin furrowed his brows for a moment, before he grabbed the man's neck and threw him to the side.

Li Qing Ying … He lost control of his body and fell onto the fake mountain, then fell back onto the ground.

"Ouyang Jin, you …"

"Questioning This Seat? You deserve it. "

A trace of ridicule could be seen in the depths of Ouyang Jin's eyes as he left with large strides.

Li Qingying looked at his back as he walked away and pounded the ground with his fist.

Damn Ouyang Jin! One day, he would make Ouyang Jin kneel on the ground and beg him for mercy!

What right did a monster have to have such a low status?

The imperial physician had bandaged up the wound on her arm. It was almost dark by now.

"Qian'Er, are you scared?" The Queen asked with concern.

Shangguan Qian'er could not hold it in. Just who had sent the person to kill her? If it was the empress in front of his, then he could really put on an act.

He let out a hollow laugh, but his eyes were cold. "Qian Chao, you're fine. I've caused mother to worry."

"What are you worrying about? Why would such a thing happen in the palace? Yuan Mei even died." "Human, sigh …" The empress sighed and sat by her side. She took her hand and said gently, "Qian'Er, you should just stay at the palace and recuperate. I won't be able to rest at ease even if you go back."

Shangguan Qian Shan raised an eyebrow, he didn't know what the Empress meant by saying that he wanted her to stay in the palace? Was there a new plot?

"However, Qian'er isn't going back. Third Prince should be worried."

"I've already sent someone to report to the third prince. Qian'er, there's no need to worry. You can stay here peacefully." The empress patted her hand and comforted her, "That thief has already been sent to the clan's manor, he will be interrogated tomorrow. I want to see who has the guts to actually kill people inside the palace!"

Shangguan Qian'er nodded his head heavily, a look of gratitude on his face as he said: "Thank you mother for standing up for Qian'er."

"Rest in peace." A slight smile appeared on the queen's face as she turned to leave.

In the Eastern Palace where the Crown Prince was, Li Yichen ruthlessly tossed his books to the side, his expression gloomy.

"Someone actually saved her!"

"Yes, and one of our men was caught."

"Who saved him?" Li Yichen's tone carried slight annoyance, and his hand clenched into a fist.

"It's the Imperial Advisor."

State Grandmaster? Li Yichen's expression was filled with doubt. He really didn't know how the Imperial Advisor had gotten involved.

The Imperial Advisor's temper had always been weird, he had never befriended anyone in the palace, and the rumours were that he had transformed into a monster. How could it be that such a person could save Shangguan Qian for no reason?

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a bang, and the dark warrior quickly left.

Li Qing Ying angrily walked in. She sat on the chair and asked in a deep voice, "Royal brother, what's going on? The person who killed Qian'Er was sent by you, right? "

Li Yichen calmly looked at him. He didn't speak, and instead noticed the dust on his body.

It looked like he had been fighting with someone.

"Royal brother, did you do it?" Li Qingying continued to ask when she saw that he was silent.

Li Yichen coldly snorted, then he picked up the wine cup on the table and poured out two cups, passing one to him.

Li Qingying did not answer, and angrily questioned, "Brother Emperor, what do you mean by this!? "Qian'Er is just a weak girl, why did you send someone to kill her?"

The Crown Prince sat on the chair and took a sip of the wine with a calm expression.

"Say something."

"Qing Ying, if you want to achieve great things, you should not care too much about the love between your children. Besides, do you know that Shangguan Qian is a weak girl?"

"Royal brother, I only ask if you did it!"

Li Yifen raised his head. His pair of deep black eyes carried calmness within them, like a calm lake that didn't have the slightest bit of ripples. There wasn't the slightest emotion mixed within.

"It's me. If you don't kill her, how can you put your heart into business?"

His words were calm, as if they were just casually conversing.

Li Qing Ying's expression was calm as he shouted, "Elder brother, you can't touch Qian Qian'Er. I don't want to trouble her because I like her, but I will stay away from her. But please don't send anyone to kill her."

Li Yichen had a carefree expression as he smiled in ridicule. "Can we truly distance ourselves?" Qing Ying, you need to know the main point. "

"I know!"

Li Yifen shook his head. He knew that he was currently in a foul mood and wouldn't listen to a single word he said. Thus, he didn't continue speaking, and his gaze fell onto Li Yifeng's clothes as he inquired.

"Who beat you up?"

Li Qing Ying's expression froze, he was extremely unwilling to recall the scene, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Ouyang Jin!"

"Did you go to provoke Ouyang Jin?" It's lucky that you're still alive. You're looking to die! " Li Yifen's expression became serious as he loudly berated.

Li Qingying had a disdainful look on his face, "What's more, Ouyang Jin?" Why should we be afraid of him? "

"Qing Ying, Ouyang Jin isn't someone we can afford to offend. Even Imperial Father wants to give him some face. Don't provoke him in the future, do you hear me?" Li Yichen shouted in a deep voice.

Li Qingying's face was filled with dissatisfaction, but he did not understand. Ouyang Jin did not have many eyes or a nose less than others. Why would he be afraid of him?

"It's fine if you don't want me to deal with Shangguan Qian, so be a good boy!" "Otherwise, I won't be able to put her in my eyes!"

Li Qingying's expression froze as he nodded, "I understand."

Coming out of the Eastern Palace, Li Qingying's face was filled with dissatisfaction. Shangguan Qian wasn't married to Li Fengyi, so why couldn't he get close to her?

The Queen had warned him not to get too close, and the Crown Prince had warned him not to get too close to Shangguan Qian.

He felt really conflicted, like a child trapped in a pit of misery.

More importantly, he truly felt that Shangguan Qian was special, so he should not have let anyone get their hands on her.

Even the Imperial Advisors...

In the dead of night, Shangguan Qian could not sleep again, the palace was quiet without a single sound.

The sounds of birds flying could be heard from time to time, but it was especially lonely.

She loathed the palace, loathed it. After all, she had lived here for a year in her previous life.

Although the time was short, those painful memories couldn't leave his side.

After a long sigh, he suddenly realized that there were other people sighing in the room as well.

Her face stiffened as she suddenly looked out the window. The window was open, but there was no one there.

Was she overthinking it?

"But you missed me so much that you couldn't sleep?" A melodious voice rang out.

Perhaps Shangguan Qian had been prepared, but he was not too surprised.

"You're here."

Ouyang Jin slowly stepped down from the beam, his movements extremely slow, as if something was holding him.

He landed beside the bed, Shangguan Qian unceremoniously reached out a hand to tug at his clothes.

Ouyang Jin narrowed his eyes and looked as if he was enjoying the show. He couldn't help but mock her, "Little Qian'Er, are you really so impatient to take off my clothes?"

She pursed her lips and didn't speak. He opened the clothes on his chest and carefully inspected them.

His skin was very white, and the veins on his skin were not as red as the day before, but they had not recovered, and had turned a pale pink instead.

"What the hell caused your blood vessels to explode?"

She gently rubbed the veins on his chest with her small hand. Her face was full of astonishment, as if she couldn't figure out the reason behind it. She was a bit vexed.

"You don't know?" Shangguan Qian'er lifted his head abruptly, but he could clearly see the fire in his eyes.

Her heart skipped a few beats and her face flushed red. She quickly retracted her hand.

"Why aren't you continuing?" He laughed and took her hand, placing it directly on his chest. "Go on."

"Perverted." "Demon!" Shangguan Qian glared at him, trying to retract his hand.

However, his hand was too strong, so he was unable to retract it.

"Now it's your hand touching my chest, who's the pervert." "Demon?" He squinted his eyes and smiled exceptionally happily. However, the hand gripping her wrist refused to let go no matter what.

"Let go of me then, let's see if I can still be so lustful of you!" Shangguan Qian struggled a few times, then his head jerked and he was forced to smash his eyes hard into the wall.

It didn't hurt as much as she'd expected. To be precise, her head hadn't hit him at all.

When he was about to hit her again, he held her forehead with his other hand.

In the next second when she was stunned, she lifted up her chin and deeply kissed …
