It was already his first time back, and even Ouyang Jin was feeling a little sleepy. After all, injured people always felt a little tired, not to mention bringing Shangguan Qian around for a night of sightseeing.

She silently returned to her yard. At this moment, Shangguan Qian's gaze was focused on Cui Zhu's room. She was sure that she knew martial arts. Although she knew nothing about martial arts, she could still sense it.

Looking at Ouyang Jin who was still standing at the door of his room, Shangguan Qian had a headache as he asked softly, "Aren't you tired?"

Tired still standing here, did she say she needed a watchman?

Ouyang Jin didn't reply. After a moment of silence, he reminded his, "Be careful of the people around you."

After that, it was as if a gust of wind blew past, and suddenly no one was around anymore. Shangguan Qian blinked at the inky night before accepting the news that he had just disappeared.

He closed the door but did not light the fire. Instead, he went straight to the bed in the dark. It wasn't that it was too dark to go up, but there was already a bit of light coming from outside. He took off his outer robes and wrapped himself in the blanket. The night was actually very cold, but it was only because of Ouyang Jin.

She didn't think too much. She was a person who had always been at peace with herself. Even though she had experienced such an excruciating betrayal in her previous life, she still firmly believed that this time would be different.

There was a depressed figure standing outside the door. He silently looked at the door for a while, then turned around and left. Regret and unwillingness filled the place.

Shang Guanmo had been following closely behind the two of them. Although they were still far away, he could see their every move clearly by the moonlight. Immediately, a wave of bitterness spread throughout his body, causing him to furrow his brows in pain.

He was able to clearly sense that strange feeling he had been suppressing.

However, after so many years of patience and caution, it was impossible for him to be tied down by this ridiculous love affair. Even if she was special, she wouldn't be able to change his decision.

He had known since he was very young that unless he stood at the peak of his power, his life and death were not in his hands at all. He had no childhood, no siblings, not even the care of his parents.

He was decisive and ruthless, and yet he was cruel to himself. In this world, he was determined to win, and Shangguan Qian was willing to let him go.

The world would want her first.

It was already broad daylight outside, but Shangguan Qian was still sleeping. Due to Shangguan Qian's reminder yesterday, Li Fengyi had not made a move. As such, he went to Shangguan Qian's yard early in the morning, but was told that she had not gotten up yet.

Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Li Fengyi indifferently said, "No problem. I will just wait in the courtyard for a moment."

He was sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, leisurely drinking tea, but he had long been impatient. He had come with a purpose, and seeing Shangguan Qian being loved by the empress, he wanted to use her to see if he could save Sen Ya.

However, four hours had passed, and he had already finished gulping down three pots of the finest fine hair. As he moved, he could feel the sound of splashing water in his stomach, but Shangguan Qian still had not risen.

This also... It cast too much doubt on her noble identity as a princess.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he said to Cui Zhu, "Go and invite your princess over, tell her that I will bring her to the Hong family building."

Of course, Cui Zhu did not dare refuse, and gently pushed open the door, just in time to see Shangguan Qian with his drowsy eyes wide open. She smiled and stepped forward, "Miss, the Third Prince is waiting outside, he said he will take you to the Hong family building."

Hong family building?

Although she was a princess of Great Yan Dynasty, she had been to Great Yan in both worlds. How could she not know anything about the biggest restaurant in Great Yan?

But what she didn't understand was, what was Li Fengyi's goal?

She did not think that Li Fengyi would be so kind or so bored as to specifically invite his to have lunch.

After washing his hands with the handkerchief, he washed his mouth with green salt, tidied it up, and then opened the door to face Li Fengyi who was drinking tea. Her eyes flashed for a moment, and she immediately understood his intentions.

As if nothing had happened, he bowed and stood by the side as he asked, "I wonder if what Third Prince said is true? I've been wanting to go to the Hong family building since a long time ago."

As he spoke, he revealed a bashful smile.

"Of course it's true. Let's go."

Li Fengyi looked passionately at Shangguan Qian'er, a testing look on his face, and of course, he felt even more guilt in his heart. After all, he had promised that the person would uncover Sen Ya's secret, if not for that, how could he use Qian'Er's power? However, there was more or less shame in his heart.

At this moment, he was thinking of another girl. Although she was a bit arrogant and despotic, she still possessed martial arts. At the very least, it didn't seem to be as worrying as her safety.

Along the way, the two of them were relatively silent. The carriage was very spacious and there was even a thick and soft blanket covering it. It was very comfortable to step on it.

There was a small tea table inside, and at this moment, Li Fengyi felt like vomiting when he saw the tea.

Shangguan Qian Qian ignored his thoughts and poured a glass for both of them, sipping on it himself. Was he still pulling open the curtain of the carriage and looking at the market outside, with a novel expression on his face.

A trace of astonishment flashed through Li Fengyi's eyes. He had expected Qian'Er to be a princess, but how could she behave in such a way? It was obvious that she had never seen the real world.

Shangguan Qian had still caught the hint of mockery in his eyes, but unfortunately, he would never understand, as he wanted to gain power and win the hearts of the people.

Although there was no such thing as the world of the people, those without the people were bound to lose this world.

She really wanted to see how the Great Yan Nation looked like. If there was anything worth learning, she was willing to bring back some of it. It was like a special irrigation technique here.

"Qian'Er seems to like liveliness?"

Perhaps the carriage was too quiet, although Li Fengyi did not want to talk to her, he still condescended to do so.

"Yeah, even the Imperial Palace doesn't have such an interesting place."

After that, there was another big smile, but it caused Li Fengyi's forehead to twitch.

Li Fengyi lightly coughed a few times and wanted to continue speaking, but a respectful voice came from outside the carriage, "Third Prince, Princess, we have arrived."

Shangguan Qian's gaze flickered, and when Li Fengyi did not see an opening, he let out a long breath. He was not the only one who didn't want to talk to him, she also didn't want to be with him, pretending to be silly, okay?

Li Fengyi was the first to leave the horse carriage, and then he passed his hand over to Shangguan Qian, suppressing the discomfort in her heart. She still placed his hand on his, and he helped his off the horse carriage.

Once they landed on the ground, they immediately separated their hands. Li Fengyi recalled his strange feeling and actions yesterday and could not help but wonder if his brain was broken or if he was actually suspecting that she was getting further and further away from him.

Shangguan Qian followed behind him, and just as they entered, a waiter welcomed them eagerly. "Third Prince, I have prepared the private room for you, although it is small, it is yours now?"

Although Shangguan Qian was used to flattery, he could not help but feel a sense of disgust at his words. However, he could not do anything about it; minor characters could only do this, fawning on important figures. No wonder so many people sought after rights, it was indeed a good thing!

Stepping quickly upstairs, although he lowered his head slightly, Shangguan Qian still paid attention to their surroundings out of the corner of his eyes. It seemed that this Hong Family Mansion had become the most famous restaurant in Great Yan Nation, and the one sitting here was either rich or powerful.

The private room was not a completely sealed off room, and it was only after Shangguan Qian had entered that he had discovered it, and he couldn't help but admire the ingenuity of the building's design.

The table was leaning against the railing. Upon entering, one would see a large window on the opposite side of the table. Once the window was closed, one would be able to look down and see the people in the hall downstairs.

All the dishes were ordered by Li Fengyi. From the beginning to the end, he had asked Shangguan Qian about his preferences, but had only ordered a table full of signature dishes, facing the dazzling array of dishes, Shangguan Qian only sneered in his heart.

What do you mean by the smell of wine and meat?

Any random one would be enough to feed an ordinary family for a year, and they would not know who the Hong family building belonged to. With such a large profit, if one did not have the brains to do business, it would be difficult to operate it. However, just the status of a merchant was not enough.

"Don't you like it?"

Seeing Shangguan Qian Bei raising his chopsticks and not looking like he was going to eat, Li Fengyi asked elegantly, not caring about who had ordered the dishes just now.

He replied with a bashful smile, "No, there are so many dishes. They look delicious and I don't know which one to eat first."

Her eyes flickered with gentleness as she smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then eat more. There's no need to be polite, I'll bring you here often."

I don't want you to keep asking me for things, or plotting against me. Shangguan Qian Shan gave a cold humph in his heart as he thought to himself.

Shangguan Qian still had not eaten breakfast, and naturally he did not want to eat those greasy foods first thing in the morning. After eating a Seven Apertures Mystical Pouch, he scooped up a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.

She also wanted to act like she was having a hearty meal, but she really didn't have much of an appetite. She preferred light things.

"Third Prince, should you find Qian'Er and take her for a walk later?"

He didn't want to make Li Fengyi suspicious, so he could force Li Fengyi to tell him his purpose as soon as possible.

The Eight Treasures Duck's chopsticks paused for a moment, then it revealed an awkward expression, "Qian'Er, I'm afraid that I can't do it today. I still have some matters to take care of."

In truth, Shangguan Qian had been laughing coldly in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked wronged. Biting his lower lip as he answered 'oh', he did not say anything else. Naturally, he did not ask what was the matter.

Li Fengyi did not expect Shangguan Qian Bei to not answer him, so he paused for a moment before continuing softly, "Qian'Er, actually, I'm a little worried about Senya. The three of us are on good terms with each other, but now …"

He finally said it out loud.

Shangguan Qian'er gave a cold humph in his heart, but on the surface there was a look of worry. Seeing her book, Li Fengyi heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, she just innocently said, "But, there's nothing that can be done about it!"

"Esteemed Empress dotes on you so much. If you go beg …"
