Li Fengyi also looked somewhat awkwardly at the empress. Originally, the prince who had his own residence outside the palace could not stay in the palace no matter what, but seeing Li Fengyi like this, it was likely that he wanted to tell Shangguan Qian to leave together with Shangguan Qian.

The empress was a little worried, but still smiled and said, "It's fine. I'm afraid even the crown prince is busy right now. The palace really needs someone in charge."

As she said that, both Shangguan Qian and Li Fengyi were a little confused. How could the empress be so easy to talk to?

However, the empress didn't seem to notice their confusion. Instead, she said to a palace maid, "Go and invite the crown prince over. Tell him that I've invited him to discuss matters regarding the eighth prince."

Watching the palace maid leave, Shangguan Qian immediately understood. This was indeed a plan to slow down the army, a plan that he had not been able to accomplish during the day in the imperial court. What could they possibly achieve with just the few of them?

However, when Shangguan Qian saw Li Fengyi relax, he was immediately puzzled. Just what was he doing in the Palace, and why was he in such a hurry to do it, why was it that he had to do it tonight?

Not long after, Li Yichen hurried over, accompanied by Ouyang Jin. As they saw Li Fengyi in the room, they were also startled.

At this moment, the empress's chambers were bustling with noise and excitement.

Originally, it wasn't appropriate for Ouyang Jin to enter the queen's chambers. But now, no one seemed to care anymore.

"I wonder why third brother is here?"

Li Yichen sat down and didn't immediately begin discussing how to save Li Qingying. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and calmly looked at Li Fengyi as he asked.

Li Fengyi only replied calmly, "Qian'er is in the palace and doesn't return to me for a day. I didn't expect that the palace's door would be locked, and mother left me to discuss eighth brother's matter."

His voice was neither servile nor overbearing, it was refined and calm, making one unable to find any mistakes in it.

Li Yichen's eyes flashed, then he turned his head to look at Shangguan Qian who was drinking his tea. Sensing everyone's gaze, Shangguan Qian had no choice but to put down the teacup in his hand and raise his head, meeting Ouyang Jin's deep purple eyes.

He was slightly startled for a moment before calmly turning his gaze away, "If it's inconvenient for Qian'Er to know about this matter, Qian'Er can just avoid it."

As she spoke, she prepared to get up. She did not want to be used as a shield.

As for Li Yifen, he only felt the veins on his head twitch a few times, but he still indifferently said, "It's alright."

This matter was cleared just like this. The crowd no longer argued about why Li Fengyi had not left the palace.

"I've called everyone here to see if there's any way to resolve this."

It had to be said that the empress's move was quite marvelous. Not only did she leave herself and Li Fengyi in the palace, but she also took the opportunity to know Ouyang Jin's thoughts on the matter. She knew that Ouyang Jin didn't even say a single word in front of the imperial court today.

His attitude was very important.

"Don't worry, mother. This son has his own plans."

Even if he had some sort of plan, he didn't want Li Fengyi to know about it. This matter had occurred so suddenly, and it was most likely his doing.

This way, he did not agitate Li Fengyi, his face still had a faint but refined smile, causing others to be unable to see through his real thoughts. Other than giving Shangguan Qian a gentle look from time to time, he did not make any other movements.

As for Shangguan Qian, he was quite clear on this, but he showed a carefree expression. It was likely that he cared in his heart, even wishing that he could call Li Yicheng to his death right now.

"Where did my son say he went? Is there any outsiders here?"

The Empress reprimanded him, but did not continue to say anything. Instead, she turned to look at Ouyang Jin, who had nothing to do with her, and asked, "Then, what do the Imperial Advisors have to offer?"

At this point, Ouyang Jin raised his eyelids and gave the empress a nonchalant look. "Of course it's to save them. As for the method to save them, it's up to the empress and the crown prince."

The veins on Shangguan Qian's forehead were popping happily, he couldn't help but admire Ouyang Jin's words. He said such a logical and reasonable sentence, but he didn't say anything useful. He didn't know who to save, but the key was how to save them.

The empress's face darkened slightly, and she looked at him deeply, but said nothing.

At this time, the most relaxed were neither Shangguan Qian nor Ouyang Jin. They were originally thinking the same thing, but no matter what, it had nothing to do with them.

This so-called method of rescue naturally had no result. Afterwards, the Queen arranged for Li Fengyi to go to the room next to Shangguan Qian's, and told everyone to go back and rest. Before leaving, Ouyang Jin looked at Yi Yi thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.

Shangguan Qian did not immediately fall asleep. She was sure that Li Fengyi's purpose was probably to stay in the palace tonight, and as for his goal, it would be known very soon.

After extinguishing the candle, Shangguan Qian laid down on the bed. Above, there was not even the slightest trace of sleep. He only stared at the window until a figure flashed by.

Shangguan Qian'er got up slowly, a cold smile on her face. Right now, she was 80% sure that Li Fengyi had gone to see Xiao Mingyue.

Gently opening the door, she looked around, then directly walked towards Imperial Concubine Xiao's palace. After rough estimation, those palace maids and eunuchs had probably already rested, and the guards could not easily appear in the rear palace.

As a result, along the way, apart from the occasional rustling of the wind, they did not run into anyone else. Shangguan Qian was still worried, but he heaved a sigh of relief as they reached Imperial Concubine Xiao's Orchid Orchid Palace.

Alas, right now, there were four guards at Imperial Concubine Xiao's palace gates. Shangguan Qian sighed slightly. It was impossible for his to force his way in, and he could not think of any other method.

He was about to give up but suddenly felt his waist tighten. He wanted to scream out but his mouth was blocked. He stared at it and realized that he was familiar with the smell.

Seeing that she seemed to have let go of the heavy burden, the person let go, but lowered his head to exhale hot air into her ear. "It's the middle of the night, we're not going to sleep. "I feel like, what are you doing here?"

Shangguan Qian felt his earlobe go numb, but he did not push him away immediately. Instead, he said snappily, "What am I doing, didn't the mighty Imperial Advisor already expect it?"

Having his little trick seen through, Ouyang Jin did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Do you want to take a look inside?"

Of course she did, why else would she come out in the middle of the night? But then she thought about it and said lightly, "I don't care, and I don't want to know."

As he spoke, he was about to turn back when he felt the hand on his waist tighten. He couldn't help but press his hand against a warm chest and even felt a slight pain by his ear.

Shangguan Qian was very clear that if he said he wanted to go, then Ouyang Jin would definitely beg him to please him. However, if he said he didn't want to go … At this moment, they were on Imperial Concubine Xiao's roof. It was really dark and windy, and all sorts of dirty things were convenient.

Ouyang Jin seemed to have a lot of experience, and after he had settled Shangguan Qian down, he carefully lifted up a few pieces of glazed roof tiles, and the scene inside was soon revealed.

"Mistress, I …"

Imperial Concubine Xiao was obviously excited and pleasantly surprised to see Li Fengyi, but before he could finish, Li Fengyi had already pulled his into his embrace. Imperial Concubine Xiao couldn't see his expression, but she could clearly see Shangguan Qian and Ouyang Jin on the roof.

The person in her embrace didn't seem to know at all. Even though one couldn't see the expression on her face, one could tell that it was a look of satisfaction and happiness. She really was a foolish woman, to be so thoroughly flabbergasted.

It was fortunate that he had seen through Li Fengyi thoroughly in this life, or else he would really have used him to the point where he had no value at all. Being ruthlessly abandoned again, that sort of feeling, even if it was already a matter of his previous life, was still an unforgettable pain in his heart when he thought about it.

After walking over for a while, Li Fengyi let go of the person in his arms and gently looked at her with a pair of incomparably deep eyes that seemed to drip with water.

"Mistress, are you really going to marry Princess Qian'Er?"

Imperial Concubine Xiao raised her head slightly and asked pitifully. Looking at her appearance, let alone a man, even a woman couldn't resist. No wonder she could pamper the harem.

If Shangguan Qian knew what he said today, he would probably make it difficult for her to eat and sleep. Otherwise, he would not have spent so much effort to call Li Fengyi to the Palace, especially at night.

"Yue Er, did you call me here for this?"

Li Fengyi was already somewhat angry, but he still gently called her Yue Er. Yue Er, he really could call her that.

Xiao Mingyue was also shocked by his sudden change in expression, but she still looked at him eagerly and said: "You know how much I care about you. For you, I can do anything, only …"

"Don't worry, I don't like her."

Li Fengyi's gaze only flickered for a moment, but he still indifferently replied.

I don't like her... At this point, there was no bitterness in Shangguan Qian Qian's heart, only a monstrous hatred. Although he already knew that in his eyes, he was merely consolidating his position. He was … but he could say such vicious words without hesitation in front of such a girl. This man was simply a bird covered in human skin. Beast!

Ouyang Jin had been paying attention to the change in her expression. Although he did not know why Shangguan Qian insisted on marrying Li Fengyi, he did not feel disappointed or disappointed about the subsequent wedding. Although he seemed to adore Li Fengyi, he knew clearly that Shangguan Qian Chao did not like Li Fengyi that much.

However, at this moment, when he saw her so focused on the people below, he couldn't help but feel his heart ache.

He couldn't help but wrap his arms around her waist, making Shangguan Qian look up at him in displeasure. He then whispered the word 'don't cause trouble' before continuing to look down below with concentration.

Inside, Ouyang Jin felt extremely uncomfortable. However, he didn't want to anger her any further. When the time came, it would be too late to end this matter. Thus, he followed her gaze.

"I knew it. I knew Master wouldn't like that little girl, but …"

Imperial Concubine Xiao was clearly overwhelmed by the favor, and even her voice was raised a bit. But before she could finish, she was interrupted by Li Fengyi.

"Why did you call me into the palace? You know it's not easy for me to make a trip, but the empress and crown prince are on guard against me."
