Although the young eunuch's death could not affect them greatly, everyone still knew about the commotion, and it was not good to end it.

Furthermore, Shangguan Qian was injured, how could Li Fengyi let this go? The empress frowned.

Li Yichen seemed to have realized the Empress's worry, and a trace of cold ridicule hung on his face. "Imperial Mother, you don't have to worry. Li Fengyi won't cause any big ruckus."

"Why is Yi Chen so certain?" The empress's face showed a bit of a probing expression. Although the crown prince and eighth prince were born because of her, she didn't feel that she understood the crown prince.

Sometimes, she even felt that the crown prince was too scheming, so she was unable to guess what he was thinking.

"If he was smart, he would choose to ignore it." Li Yichen confidently said, his eyes narrowing. The little eunuch had killed someone, but the one who had saved them was the Imperial Advisor Ouyang Jin.

On the other hand, Ouyang Jin had been in contact with Shangguan Qian during the general assembly, and if Li Fengyi caused a huge ruckus involving the Imperial Advisors, and if people claimed that Shangguan Qian was involved with the Imperial Advisors, then the gains would not make up for the losses.

After all, right now, Li Fengyi still needed to rely on great influence in order to match him.

The Crown Prince pursed his lips, [Why is that Sen Ya here again?] Did she really fancy Li Fengyi?

Thinking up to this point, he couldn't help but frown. It seemed that he had to kill one of these two princesses and blame it on Li Fengyi.

How could he just sit by and watch as Li Fengyi's power grew bigger and bigger?

The empress seemed to be tired, as she let out a sigh. "Since Yi Chen is so confident, I won't interfere any further."

"Yes." Li Yichen nodded and raised his head to look at Li Qingying. He noticed that Li Qingying had lowered his head and a slightly worried expression on his face.

As he walked out of the Palace of Tzu Ning, Li Yichen walked quickly with his hands behind his back. As for Li Qingying, he followed him at a leisurely pace, seeming to have something weighing on his mind.

"Eighth brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Yichen stopped in his tracks, seriously sizing him up. "Are you still thinking about that Shangguan Qian?"

Mentioning Shangguan Qian's name, Li Qingying's expression changed, and he hurriedly shook her head, "No!"

How could Li Yichen not know what he was thinking? He couldn't help but let out a sigh. He just didn't understand what sort of magic this Shangguan Qian had that could enchant his eighth brother to such an extent.

"Do you think I can't see it? If you have anything on your mind, just say it! "

Li Qingying raised his head, with a hint of worry on his pretty face. He spoke with a tone of consultation, "Royal brother, can you not do anything to Qian'Er?" Qian'Er is innocent, if you want to blame me, then blame me. "

The Crown Prince seemed to have long realised what he was about to say, his face did not look surprised at all, his tone was calm as he said, "Qing Ying, do you think you know Shangguan Qian, this woman?"

His question was like a steel sword thrust. In the depths of Li Qingying's heart, he truly did not know this woman, Shangguan Qian.

However, she had saved him on the hunting grounds, and from this point, he felt that Shangguan Qian should not be a bad person.

But why would she mix with Ouyang Jin? This was the most unforgivable thing he could do.

"Royal brother, I feel that Qian'Er should be kind."

Li Qingying said this with uncertainty, but he insisted, just to prevent Shangguan Qian being targeted by the Crown Prince again.

"I really don't know what to say to you." Li Qingying sighed and patted his shoulder, "Shangguan Qian is not as simple as you think he is, and the time I saved you, he did it on purpose. Don't be silly, if she doesn't use you, I won't do anything to her."

Li Yifen glanced deeply at him as if he was slightly disappointed in him, and then shook his head as he left.

Li Qingying stood on the spot and turned his head to glance at the Palace of Tzu Ning, but he couldn't hold it in any longer. He walked back with large strides.

In the side hall, Shangguan Qian was sitting by the window, holding his head in boredom. A familiar figure barged into the yard, shock in her eyes, but mostly anger.

Li Qingying! The culprit who caused her injury! He actually dared to come?

Li Qing Ying looked around warily, making sure no one noticed, before finally letting out a sigh of relief. When he lifted his head, he saw Shangguan Qian glaring at him angrily.

He gave an awkward smile and waved towards Shangguan Qian'er, "Qian'er."

"You still dare to come!" Shangguan Qian asked harshly.

Li Qingying's expression turned even more embarrassed. He walked in with large strides and dismissed all the maidservants in the room.

He opened his mouth nervously, "Qian'Er, I came here secretly."

The corners of Shangguan Qian's mouth twitched. That brazen attitude just now, it was actually a sneak attack?

All the maidservants who were serving in the side chamber earlier should have seen Li Qingying, right? She really didn't know what this guy's brain was stuffed with.

"Li Qingying, it's all because of you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been injured!"

Li Qing Ying embarrassedly coughed and whispered, "Qian'Er, I'm really sorry. I didn't know such an accident would happen."

"Is this an accident? Who exactly wants to kill me? " Shangguan Qian asked with a low voice.

Li Qingying's expression turned serious as he shook his head, "I can't say."

As he thought of the worried expression Li Yifen had on his face for him, he still dared to go along with Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian sat down at the side, flustered and exasperated, drinking a mouthful of tea. "Forget it, it's better if we don't touch each other too much in the future. I don't want to suddenly lose my life."

"Qian'Er …"

Her words were too hurtful. His expression froze, carrying some helplessness. Even though it was the truth, he still dared to come see her despite being at the heart of the matter. Could it be that his deep love wasn't worth it?

He had originally thought that she would be moved to a complete mess, but he didn't expect this to be the end of it. He really felt sad.

"Hmm? The eighth prince, was what Qian'Er said wrong? You and I were never in the same battle camp, and after what happened yesterday, how could I dare to come into contact with you? " Shangguan Qian stared into his eyes and asked directly.

Li Qingying was slightly injured. He pursed his lips and said, "You're right, but don't worry. In the future, no one will hurt you again."

"I hope so." Shangguan Qian hung his eyes in disappointment, guessing in his heart that his words didn't sound like the Queen's doing, but could it be the Crown Prince?

When he thought of the crown prince's sinister gaze, he could not help but feel a chill run down his spine.

When did she unknowingly offend the crown prince?

In her panic, her hand accidentally touched the teacup beside her. Hot water was spilled all at once, splashing onto her injured arm.

He let out a soft sigh and stood up. However, his arm was held back by Li Qing Ying. He had found a handkerchief from who knows where and was wiping her burnt hand.

"What are you guys doing!"

At this moment, an angry roar came from the door, and the two of them turned to look at the source of the roar.

At the entrance of the side hall, Li Fengyi stood there with a gloomy face as he coldly looked at the two people inside the room.

Although Li Qingying was only holding her hand, to the oblivious Li Fengyi, it seemed as if the two of them were warming up. "Concealed.

"Feng Yi …"

"Eighth Prince, Qian'Er, a man and a woman alone, yet you sent all the palace maids away and hid them in the house. Could it be that you are …" Sen Ya stuck her head out smilingly, planning to speak Shangguan Qian's words as if she was not afraid of the consequences if she just watched the show.

Shangguan Qian'er furrowed his brow, shaking off Li Qing Ying's hand, saying with a cold face: "Could it be that Qian'Er is as wild as you think?"

"I was just joking." Sen Ya walked in with large strides and checked her wound. "So, it was burnt by the tea."

"Third Brother, I've already said this before. If Qian'Er isn't married to you, I'll have a chance."

"Eighth prince, what nonsense are you spouting?" Shangguan Qian frowned, wasn't this adding oil to the fire of Li Fengyi?

Li Fengyi didn't suspect them in the first place, but with his words, he had no choice but to.

Looks like she really shouldn't mess with Li Qing Ying anymore. She must have some bad luck to mess with him.

"Eighth brother wants to snatch Qian'Er away from me? However, you seem to have forgotten one thing. The person that Qian'Er wants to marry is me. " Li Fengyi's face looked as if it was covered with a layer of ice as he spoke in a deep voice.

"Heh, that was in the past. Perhaps, in the future." Li Qingying tilted his head, looking at Shangguan Qian affectionately, saying word by word, "Take good care of yourself, I'll come see you next time."

"No need."

Li Qingying's back stiffened for a moment. Shangguan Qian's words were heartless, but he did not care about them. He gave Li Fengyi a provocative glare.

"I said that I would come and see you, so I will!"

He said this arrogantly and walked out.

Shangguan Qian was especially embarrassed. What was going on? She should not have provoked Li Qing Ying from the beginning, he should not have saved him on the hunting grounds, otherwise there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

"Heh, Qian'Er, this eighth prince really likes you, right?" Sen Ya giggled and asked.

It was as if a layer of ice was covering Li Fengyi's face, yet he was still standing there?

Sighing, he said helplessly, "It doesn't matter if you believe me or not, there's nothing going on between us."

"I believe you!" Sen Ya was the first to speak, and then she fiercely said, "It must be the eighth prince who punished you." "It's entangled!"

Li Fengyi's complexion became increasingly unsightly as he asked in a deep voice, "Are you going back to the manor?"

Return to the residence? Today was the first day, how could she go back? Do I have to come back at night? It really was tormenting.

However, in this situation, Li Fengyi would probably misunderstand again if he didn't return. The dilemma was too great.

"The palace is so fun, why should we go back?" Sen Ya, who was sitting beside her, glanced at her bandages and muttered, "I got wet. Change it."

"The imperial physician should be coming soon." Shangguan Qian'er pursed her lips, looking at Li Fengyi with sparkling eyes.

"I haven't changed my medicine today. Can I go back with you after I change my medicine?"

She was beautiful. Dazzling, coupled with that pitiful expression, no matter how hard a man's heart was, he would still soften.

Although Li Fengyi was angry at Shangguan Qian for being too close to the eighth prince, but they were not married, so what could he do?

"Qian'Er, you should know that our current statuses are awkward. I hope that you don't get too close with any man, or else it'll be too embarrassing for you to talk about it." Li Fengyi said with a serious expression.

A look of agreement hung on Shangguan Qian'er's face as he nodded, saying: "I also know Qian'er, but he doesn't want to offend anyone."

"I don't blame you. What happened yesterday?" I heard that young eunuch is already dead? " Li Fengyi asked with a sullen expression.

Shangguan Qian'er sighed, muttering to himself, "Qian'er doesn't know either, but a little eunuch appeared out of nowhere, saying that the empress wanted to see me, then took me to a desolate place and tried to kill me."

"At that time, I thought that I would definitely die. Now, Yuan Mei has arrived!" "The person appeared, and in the end, the Imperial Advisor just happened to pass by. Only then did Qian'Er manage to retrieve her life."

Shangguan Qian had explained in great detail, mainly emphasizing that the Imperial Advisor Ouyang Jin was just passing by, which was why he had 'coincidentally' saved her.

She was already tired from dealing with Li Qing Ying, not to mention Ouyang Jin, she really didn't want to be overthought by Li Feng Yi.

"Yeah, I was there too. That scene was too scary." As she spoke, she couldn't help but shake her body.

Li Fengyi had a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "Qian'Er, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate."

Shangguan Qian did not answer him. Didn't Li Danyeng's death still not come to light? It seemed like Li Fengyi did not plan to interfere in this matter. After all, with his cautious heart, how could he offend anyone?

Furthermore, there was a high chance that the person behind the scenes was the Queen. The Crown Prince wouldn't act rashly without any concrete proof.
