This person was definitely sick!

Shangguan Qian Qian muttered while looking at Li Qing Ying's back.

She continued to rub the innocent flower in her hand.

"Third Imperial Brother."

Just as Li Qingying stepped out of the door, he saw Li Fengyi. When he returned, his clothes were covered in dust, and his expression was one of extreme exhaustion. He took a few steps forward and stopped Li Fengyi's footsteps.

Li Fengyi was indeed a bit tired. Yesterday, he had discussed the plan to attack Great Yan with the Turkic spy. Because he was afraid that the matter would be exposed, they chose an extremely secretive Underworld, which even the secret guards in the palace wouldn't know.

Just as he stepped onto the steps in front of the prince's mansion, he heard a familiar figure. It was Li Qingying.

"How could eighth royal brother have the time to come to the third royal brother's estate?"

Li Fengyi gave him a rare sincere smile. If it wasn't for this fool representing him in the battle, how could he carry out his plan right now?

"I am only here to see you, Third Emperor."

Li Qing Ying lowered his head. He didn't say that he was here to see Qian'Er, as he was afraid that they might have a disagreement.

"Imperial Brother thought that you came to see me." Li Fengyi instantly exposed his lies. His face slightly blushed, not knowing how to answer Li Fengyi's question.

A trace of mockery flashed across Li Fengyi's eyes. Li Qingying actually hadn't given up on Qian'Er.

"Third Imperial Brother, I won't give up."

"I know you are my brother, but Qian'Er has always been tied to me, so I can't do anything about it. If she has you in her heart, then you can never take away my brother."

"Third Imperial Brother, I know everything you say." He squeezed out a smile. "I hope you take good care of Qian'Er. If I'm not dead, I want to take care of her on my behalf."

In front of the city gate, the wild sand dancing in the air seemed to have blown the great Yan's flag until it rustled. Li Qingying was wearing a golden armor, which made his originally refined and refined appearance look slightly imposing.

His eyebrows were like swords, and his eyes were like stars.

He turned around and glanced at the Great Yan Imperial City. The city had once been his resting place under the high wall, and now he wanted to fight against the enemy for the sake of the Great Yan Empire.

A look of reluctance flashed in his eyes. He was looking for something when his gaze swept over the crowd.

Looking around, disappointment could be seen in his eyes.

He turned around and raised his sword, dancing high in the air. "This prince will represent Big Yan. In order to protect the land of Big Yan from being trampled by those barbarians, victory is forbidden!"

He tilted his head back, and the sunlight fell on his face as if it were a layer of golden light.

The sword in his hand struck his crotch. The dismounted horses began to move.

His back carried a trace of determination.

Only his flying hair was left in the wind.

Shangguan Qian was mixed in the crowd, watching Li Qingying's back, and he suddenly felt a burst of sadness in her heart.

This man did not owe her in the first place, but she had always hurt him. Perhaps this was the last time they would meet, since he did not see her, so she could only hide in the crowd and watch his back.

At this moment, thousands of words turned into a single sentence.

Take care.

It could only be precious.

Li Yifen stood on top of the high city walls and watched his figure, his eyes revealing a trace of sadness.

This was not the result he wanted.

This big swallow didn't want him to sacrifice his own little brother to protect it.

But there was nothing he could do, because this was Qingying's own request.

The evening wind carried a trace of coldness. He tightly wrapped the fox fur coat around his body, and his originally rosy lips gradually turned a deep purple.

The eunuch at his side stepped forward and said respectfully, "Crown Prince, the wind is blowing and the weather is cold. Let's return to the palace."

He took a long look at the marching troops.

It was just a glance.

He left without looking back.

Shangguan Qian still felt a lingering fear, as she remembered the words from the Turkic people, 'working together from the inside out'. If what they said was true, then Li Qingying would not only face external troubles but internal troubles during this war.

She was extremely anxious. If she had known that he would be hurt, she would have warned him yesterday.

"What?" She stared wide-eyed at Li Fengyi.

Li Fengyi nodded.

"The eighth prince wanted to go himself?" Actually, what she wanted to say was that Li Qingying's brain had been broken, right? He was clearly a powerless noble prince, yet he actually wanted to learn from those heroes and defend his country.

A fellow who couldn't even protect his own life actually wanted to protect the country?

"If he had not volunteered himself, I'm afraid the Crown Prince would have let me go."

When he said that, he felt wronged, but Shangguan Qian caught a hint of happiness in his eyes.

After experiencing an entire lifetime, Shangguan Qian was no longer able to look down on this harmless man. He was so good at concealing himself, deceiving everyone, and even dragged down the Crown Prince Li Yichen.

"So you mean to say you have to thank him when he comes back?"

Shangguan Qian Shan stroked his hair that hung down from his chest, seeing Li Fengyi's unchanging tenderness, he thought to himself, just which faction in the imperial court did this person form, or was he planning to work together?

She knew that the Emperor's unconscious body was poisoned, and this poison was also sent by Li Fengyi. Then what method did he use to fool everyone, and even a powerful figure like Xue Xuan?

And there was still a crown prince who was so meticulous in his thoughts?

Li Fengyi did not know what she was thinking, but he had always thought that she was the princess of the Great Lei Country whom he had coaxed into marrying off to the third prince one at a time.

Therefore, Li Fengyi had underestimated Shangguan Qian.

"Of course, when eighth brother comes back, I, as his royal brother, should thank him."

Hehe, this Li Qing Ying probably won't have a life to return.

She lowered her eyes. Seeing her act this way, Li Fengyi's eyes flashed with a trace of gentleness. He quietly went forward and pulled her into his embrace.

A hint of disgust flashed in Shangguan Qian Qian's eyes, she really wanted to get out of this embrace but was afraid that Li Fengyi would suspect something.

She pursed her lips and smiled, her smile like a flower in spring, containing a trace of alluring beauty. Perplexity.

The tenderness in Li Fengyi's eyes grew, and he lowered his head slightly, wanting to kiss her, but Shangguan Qian pushed him away.

She covered the disgust in her eyes and shyly felt around. With a burning hot face, she shyly said, "Right now, I'm still not your Third Princess. Prince, you should act with dignity."

"Soon."

Hearing these words, she was not as happy as she had imagined. In her previous life, she had been smiling like a fool for an entire day just because of a few simple sweet words from him. She remembered the night she married him; she had been happy for an entire day in front of the mirror as she imagined how she would become his bride tomorrow in her phoenix coronet.

But in the end he failed her.

When she came back to her senses, her smile was still as wide and gentle as ever.

"Third Marquis, I, Shangguan Qian, am waiting for you to marry me."

But that was impossible, even if she married him and became the Third Princess. On the night of the wedding, she must have stabbed him in the chest to see the color of his heart. Why was he so ruthless and so resolute?

When Ouyang Jin returned, he heard the news. The eighth prince, Li Qing Ying, had volunteered to go to the border to fight the Turks.

His eyelids jumped, but the thoughts in his heart were extremely complicated.

His white hair was so obvious, Shangguan Qian would see him at first glance.

He looked back at her, but his eyes were so cold that he did not look at her again.

Disappointment flashed in Shangguan Qian's eyes, most of it was a deep longing, when did Ouyang Jin enter his life?

She couldn't hate or resent him. She only had uncontrollable love left.

Did he have her in his heart?

She didn't dare to think about it. In Ouyang Jin's heart, she was nothing more than a toy to play with, a toy that he could casually discard.

Just the mere thought of it made her feel as if her heart was being bitten by a swarm of bugs, making her unable to breathe.

"Princess, the empress is waiting for you at the palace." "En." The small palace maid who was receiving Shangguan Qian said. Shangguan Qian turned around and acknowledged softly, before following the pink palace maid towards the empress's palace.

She didn't know that Ouyang Jin was looking at her with eyes filled with deep emotions and love that couldn't be expressed.

"Qian'Er is here?"

Although the empress had a smile on her face, she looked much more haggard. It seemed like she really did care for Li Qingying.

The Empress was a great woman, Shangguan Qian thought, but she was also a scheming woman. She could be vicious, but she could not change her nature as a mother. She loved her son so much.

"Ying'er, you're so stupid. There's so many people here, why does he …"

The empress took out some silk to wipe her tears, this was the first time Shangguan Qian had seen her really cry, even when the emperor had almost killed her with his tears, it was laced with a desire for power.

She wept for her husband on one side, but on the other she was secretly delighted that her son could ascend the throne.

"Queen, you don't have to worry. The eighth prince has his own destiny. He will definitely return safely."

"Shadow, my Shadow." The queen did not hear her; she was alone in her grief.

"Empress, the eighth prince is ranked 8th. This number is very lucky. I presume that his lucky chance has already come at the right time. Once he returns, everything will definitely go smoothly."

"Qian'Er, I will accept your words of fortune." Her eyes lit up, and perhaps she was thinking about Li Qingying.

"Ying'er is my most beloved son, he …" The empress had told her some of the ugly stories about Li Qingying when she was young, and she'd laughed along with them. She just didn't expect the obedient looking Li Qingying to be like this when he was young.

However, the eighth prince was her most beloved son, so what about the crown prince?

However, all the mothers of ancient times loved old people, so it was understandable.

"What are you talking about?"

The crown prince was dressed in bright yellow. When he entered the door, he slightly bent his waist and said, "Your son will attend the empress."

Li Yichen's expression was also a bit tired. His chapped lips had even started to peel off. It was probably because he hadn't slept well in the past few days. This Li Qingying was truly the Empress and his precious treasure in his heart.

"Why is the crown prince here?"

A hint of a smile appeared in the empress's eyes. Seeing one of her sons made her feel better.

"I'm talking to Qian'Er about Ying'er."

"Oh?" When Li Yichen saw Shangguan Qian, his face was rare that it wasn't so cold. He probably didn't have the mood to attack Shangguan Qian because of Li Qingying's unknown life and death situation.

His little brother did not even know if he had survived or not, how could he still order Shangguan Qian not to get too close to Li Qingying.

"Right, thinking about Ying'er when she was young is really a headache. She grew up to be so quiet."

"That's right. When he was young, he always pestered me to go to the palace to play. He could never be quiet for a moment."

When Shangguan Qian saw him immersed in his memories of the past, his eyes did not contain a trace of greed.

She had long since heard that from a young age, the Crown Prince Li Yichen had been raised to become the heir to the great swallow. Thus, he had never enjoyed the happiness that a child should have, nor had he ever been spoiled by his mother, nor had he ever been spoiled by his father.

His childhood was so monotonous that it was no wonder he was so eccentric.

How could she be like her? Ever since she was young, her father had doted on her so much, and her mother had doted on her so much. Even if she gave the entire country to Li Fengyi in her past life, her father had never blamed her before he died.

He was only reminding her to be careful of Li Fengyi, but why was it that she was so foolish to not believe his words?

As he glanced at Li Yifen, he felt pity for this man for the first time.

In their previous life, they lost to Li Fengyi at the same time.

She died miserably, and he lost miserably.

Li Yichen turned his head and saw the look in Shangguan Qian's eyes as he looked at him, his expression immediately changing.

However, this was the first time he took a careful look at this woman.

She didn't seem so useless.

"It's getting late, Little Qian is going back."

The empress looked out at the darkening sky and was somewhat reluctant to part with Shangguan Qian, but she still smiled and patted the back of her hand before glancing at Li Yichen who was standing at the side, silent.

"Crown Prince, send Qian'Er back to the manor. What if something happens to her when it's so late?"

Li Yichen frowned in displeasure, but in the end, he didn't reject the Empress's words.
