The next day, the news of Jin Concubine falling into the water reached her ears. The empress sat on her expensive throne of phoenixes with a satisfied smile on her face as she rotated the emerald green ring on her finger.

Shangguan Qian knew that the Empress's actions had thoroughly caught Li Fengyi's attention. She clearly knew that Li Fengyi was a deeply hidden person.

No wonder he was the final winner, because the affection he was so proud of in front of power was so weak.

The empress used Jinfei to force out the wolf that had been lurking in Li Fengyi's heart for a long time. She knew that sooner or later, he would devour all the obstacles in front of him.

This palace was like a huge battle stadium. The winners had both fame and fortune, while the losers had all lost their reputations. However, so many people had joined this battle just for a sliver of a chance to become a ruler.

Alas, Shangguan Qian sighed. In her previous life, she had disdained scheming and ended up in a miserable state. In this life, she had learned how to make the first move and survive.

Now she was going to stay here and fight with them?

The red tassel carried a tray into the room, on it was the freshly brewed tea, the smoke still billowing, and the fragrance of the tea was much stronger. Shangguan Qian rubbed his forehead, no longer looking so exhausted.

"This tea is so fragrant, the red tassel really did put in a lot of effort."

Hearing Shangguan Qian's praise, the red tassel laughed out loud, her cheeks turning red with joy. "It was specially sent by the Third Marquis."

Shouldn't Li Fengyi be immersed in the pain of losing his mother?

How could he have the heart to give her tea?

Did he know that she purposely told the empress about Jinfei?

That's not right!

Shangguan Qian raised an eyebrow and asked: "Why aren't you seeing Cui Zhu?"

Cui Zhu was her personal palace maid, and just like the red tassel, she was not far from the center of attention. It was really strange that she wasn't here today.

"Cui Zhu's body. "She's not feeling well, so she's resting in her room." Red Tassel was a straightforward person. She grabbed onto whatever she could to say, "Yesterday I thought she was in good spirits. Today she's sick just because she said she was sick."

"Oh?" She took a sip of the tea, which was extremely sweet and had a hint of bitterness in it, "In a while, I will be taking an afternoon nap. Don't let anyone disturb my rest."

After seeing the red tassel go out, she pushed open the only window in the room, and when she saw that no one was around, she jumped out.

Dressed in an emerald green muslin, her black hair tied in a bun, she walked by the lake, looking around carefully.

That sneaky figure was indeed Cui Zhu.

A strange light flashed in Shangguan Qian Qian's eyes as she snuck up behind Cui Zhu, wanting to see what the hell she was up to.

Her face was rosy, and her spirited look made her look like she was in a bad mood from Red Cherry's mouth.

After passing by numerous fake mountains, they arrived at a remote area.

He only heard Cui Zhu's respectful voice: "Master."

Shangguan Qian Bei hid himself as he stole through the gap. Peep.

The man that Cui Zhu called master wore a long white robe. His pitch-black hair draped over his back made his back look like a landscape painting drawn by a brush and ink.

So calm and beautiful.

"How's the situation at the palace recently?"

This voice had a hint of hoarseness to it, but it was extremely cold.

"The emperor is bedridden, and now that the imperial court is in the hands of the crown prince, the imperial concubine, the third prince's imperial concubine, esteemed wangfei Jin, also fell a few days ago and died." The emperor is bedridden, and now that the imperial court is in the hands of the crown prince, the imperial concubine Jin's consort fell and died a few days ago.

From start to finish, she did not raise her head. It was as if she was very afraid of this man.

This was Shangguan Qian's feeling.

At her words, the man turned. His face was covered with a mask of menace, but his chin was so fine and white that she thought it must be a very good-looking man.

"Is that so?" His fingers picked up a white flower, his pink lips curled up into a smile, and he asked lightly: "What about Shangguan Qian?"

Why did he mention her?

Shangguan Qian'er's body trembled, the thick grass seemed to be unable to hide her figure, and the man's gaze seemed to attack her, causing her to feel a sense of nervousness, afraid that she would be seen by him.

"Princess, she … A few days ago, she just happened to have caught a cold and was attacked by an assassin. This subordinate investigated that the assassin was sent by the crown prince of Great Yan. "

The white flower in his hand was crushed to pieces, "Cui Zhu, you are my most proud subordinate, and also my most perfect move, so don't disappoint me."

Cui Zhu lowered her head, the corner of her mouth curving into a faint smile. Being able to obtain the recognition of her master was her greatest goal in life.

"Master, don't worry. I won't hesitate to go through fire and water."

That person pursed her lips in satisfaction. She reached out her hand to caress Cui Zhu's delicate face. Her jade-like fingers were exquisite and transparent. He pinched her chin and lightly pulled, speaking in a hoarse and seductive voice. Bewildered: "Then take out your sincerity, Cui Zhu."

In a split-second, Cui Zhu had long since been confused and dizzy, with only the figure of that person's back in her eyes.

Shangguan Qian sneaked back while Cui Zhu was unaware, she had been wondering who the masked man was. The masked man she knew was only Ouyang Jin, but the white hair on Ouyang Jin's head was his symbol, that person's hair was black, even darker than the black ink.

Cui Zhu was a spy sent to the Imperial Palace by that person, so why would Cui Zhu hide by her side?

She was a princess of the Great Gale, and it would be much easier to find out who was the undercover agent for the Great Swallow.

Shangguan Qian'er rubbed his tired brow.

In the evening, the red tassel had prepared a table of good dishes for her, including fish, meat, and wine.

Shangguan Qian reprimanded her, "Now that Jinfei has just died, we are here stealing food. If people find out that we can't bear this crime." According to what she knew, Li Fengyi had been mourning for the past few days and had only eaten vegetarian food. Yet, she, the future concubine of the Third Prince, would definitely become a big fish in a fish's meat.

"Miss's words are really funny, other than me and Cui Zhu, no one else here, who would know?"

"That's not certain." Her eyes faintly glanced at Cui Zhu. This girl, on the other hand, did not change her expression at all.

One day, Shangguan Qian thought to himself, I'll find out what you're up to.

"Miss, there are new grapes here. Why don't you try them?" In the red tasseled hand was a pot of grapes. Those grapes were a crystal clear light green, and it was possible to see that there was a layer of luster within them.

Shangguan Qian's appetite was piqued, he picked one up with his fingers and threw it into his mouth, the juice of the grapes gushing out. Once it was released, it was sweet and tasty.

"Aiya, my young lady, why don't you peel off your skin?"

Shangguan Qian flipped his hand helplessly, spitting a grape skin from his mouth and landing on the ground.

Hong Ying said helplessly, "Miss, what if the Third Prince sees that you're not going to marry you?"

Shangguan Qian threw another grape into his mouth, "Then I'll let him marry you?"

No matter how straightforward the red tassel was, its face would turn red.

"Cui Zhu, help me brew a pot of tea, I'm thirsty."

"Yes sir!" Cui Zhu lowered her head to look at him, and Shangguan Qian felt a sense of unhappiness in her heart, thinking back to the way Cui Zhu had been bullied and framed by others, she had thought that Cui Zhu was just that obedient, but who would have known that she was actually someone else's spy.

These days, even the people who were least suspicious were lurking around with a purpose. Who could believe this?

She sighed as an image of a peerless beauty flashed through her mind. His hair that was as white as snow seemed to flutter in the wind.

Shangguan Qian Qian couldn't help but knock his head, thinking to himself why did he think of that bastard Ouyang Jin again.

Seeing her young mistress's appearance, Hong Ying also laughed.

A pot of fragrant green bamboo was placed outside the door with a slight frown, and the door was gently pushed open.

He placed the pot of fragrant tea in front of Shangguan Qian.

"Miss, please have some tea."

"Hong Ying, Cui Zhu, I need to rest early today, you two can leave."

Shangguan Qian'er massaged his temples, feeling physically and mentally exhausted. The moment he closed the door, Cui Zhu peeked at her face through the crack in the door, and she narrowed his eyes and closed the door.

Shangguan Qian was curled up on the couch like a kitten, his glass-like eyes were shut tight and there seemed to be no sound in his ears, it was too quiet.

Sometimes when he thought about how she had come to Great Yan by herself, he had always been the one in her camp fighting alone.

The prince Shang Guanmo would arrive at the Great Yan Imperial City in a day, and Li Fengyi was the first to receive the news. Who was Shang Guanmo? He was the prince who had the most chance to ascend to the throne.

Regardless of whether he was a good person or a bad person, Li Fengyi did not dare to offend such a person. He even hoped to become mutually beneficial allies with him.

He said to the dark, "Chasing Wind!"

A figure appeared like the wind. A man in black kneeled down and said respectfully, "Master, what instructions do you have for me?"

"Go and pick up Guang Mo. You must secure his safety belt to Big Yan. Also, don't let him have any contact with the other princes, especially the crown prince, on the way back to Big Yan."

"Yes, sir!" After Zhui Feng finished speaking, his body disappeared like the wind once again. If it wasn't for the paper in Li Fengyi's hand, he would have certainly gotten it by now.

"Shang Guanmo, I don't care what your motive for coming to the Great Yan Empire is, but I want you to know that the Great Yan Empire is not just for show. Your status as prince is just for show."

Li Fengyi crushed the letter in his hand. Right now, he was clad in white as he paid his respects to esteemed wangfei Jin.

"Mufei, don't worry. There will be a day when I'll make them pay with their blood."

Li Fengyi originally thought that his plan was foolproof, but in the end, there was an unexpected deviation from his plan.

"Miss!" The red tassel called out to her from outside Shangguan Qian's room, she rubbed her sleepy eyes, then opened the door wearing a white undergarment.

The red tassel outside the door wore a pink peach robe, and its delicate and pretty face carried an anxious expression.

"Hong Ying, what happened?"

"The empress summoned you to the palace."
