The originally quiet Ouyang Jin couldn't help but be startled. He thought that he would definitely hurt Qian'Er, but she actually said that he liked him, liked him. Even though he had been dreaming about it, he didn't dare to accept it.

Qian'Er, I can't bear your liking, even if it's something I can't help but get closer to.

Restraining his concentration, Shangguan Qian spoke slowly with a hopeful look on his face.

"Don't like me, you can't afford it."

Ouyang Jin's voice was ice-cold, yet his countenance was calm. He had no idea how hurtful his words were.

Shangguan Qian was only slightly taken aback, but his smile slowly faded. He did not get angry, instead he asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Even she hadn't expected such a great change. Originally, they had been soft, but now they were cold words from each other. It was as if they were in heaven a moment ago, but now they had fallen into hell.

"That's right, we're not likely, I... There's no need for you to bother with my matters. "

This time, Shangguan Qian heard it loud and clear, but did not understand the meaning behind this simple sentence. He wanted to say something, feeling that he was a burden, or that he was not worthy of him, and an absolute feeling that he had never been there before filled his heart, but he still bit his lower lip, not wanting himself to shed a single tear.

In the end, it turned out that he had just misunderstood.

After a while, he suppressed the grief in his heart and lightly asked, "Tell me the method to cure the blood poison in your body. Once the poison in your body is cured, I will naturally no longer bother you."

This was the only thing she was concerned about right now. She had to take revenge, and what Li Fengyi gave her would be avenged. However, revenge was not what she cared about the most.

Ouyang Jin only lowered his head to look at her, his cold face emotionless. Shangguan Qian's originally black eyes that were like stone, clear as water, calm like two mirrors, were all stubbornly staring back at him.

The two of them stared at each other, Shangguan Qian also biting his lower lip stubbornly. Under his cold gaze, the tears slowly seeped out, gradually losing their vision, her lower lip had been bitten bleeding, but he did not know it, she just did not want to show any sign of weakness in front of him.

He had thought that Ouyang Jin would be touched, but he only said two words, "No need."

After that, he turned around, but he couldn't see the line of clear tears. As he turned around, they uncontrollably slid down his face and wet his clothes.

Shangguan Qian really did not understand what he had done wrong, calling the man in front of him with a cold heart. Was it only because he had mentioned the fact that he was poisoned?

She was proud and aloof, cold and aloof. She believed that tears were the most useless thing, but she had no choice but to hide her tears in front of those people with great care.

She had been patient all her life, taking every step carefully just to push Li Fengyi, who owed her from her past life, into the abyss of no return. Unexpectedly, she actually tasted hopelessness once, and not only despair, but even the feeling of being completely used by Li Fengyi in her previous life had never occurred.

The sad thing was, he only knew how to shed tears without saying a word. He didn't even know how to cry. His cold life had become even lonelier.

All the gentleness, all the shallowness, at the moment that person left, suddenly collapsed. Even the strength to wipe away the tears on his face was sucked away. He could only stare blankly at the door that had already been closed, his eyes filled with blankness and emptiness.

She was the princess of Dali and the future consort of the third prince. With her status, she really couldn't match up to Ouyang Jin, who was below a single person, but … His fingers touched the warm jade hanging on his neck. It turned out that, in the end, it was just a wishful thinking on his part!

But why did he want to give her this warm jade that had extraordinary meaning, why did he want to whisper little Qian'Er's name into her ear? Did he just find it fun?

Shangguan Qian'er did not know when he finally fell asleep, only feeling that he had drained all his tears. It was likely that he would never cry again, and he had only fallen asleep because he was completely numb to it.

However, she didn't know that the figure outside the door hadn't left even when the candle flame had run out. That lonely and desolate figure was so clear in the dark night.

Qian'Er, how can I bear to tell you about the method to rescue the blood poison? How can I let you suffer on my behalf? However, I also cannot bear to make you cry.

As long as I am here, I will protect you until … When I can no longer protect you...

The next day, it was still Yi Shan who had woken Shangguan Qian who was still unconscious. However, Shangguan Qian who had woken up only had his eyes half open, his hair was fluffy, and his eyes were red and swollen.

Isao could only put the clean clothes on the bed. After that, he went out to retrieve his things. When he closed the door, he even glanced at her uneasily.

She had clearly heard what happened last night, even though she didn't understand why things had turned out this way. The two of them obviously had feelings for each other, so why did things have to be like this? Not only that, Ouyang Jin's thoughts were simply unfathomable.

However, since she did not interfere last night, she would naturally not say anything. After all, it was only due to her emotions. Love was only a matter of two people. She knew very well that no one else could interfere.

Just like how he liked Xue Xuan, even though he knew that there would be no results, Shangguan Qian would not advise him.

Shangguan Qian just sat there blankly on his bed. Scenes of himself and Ouyang Jin together flashed past her eyes. She wanted to grab onto something, but found that he was unable to catch it. Other than that piece of warm jade, there really wasn't anything else he could have left behind.

If it was really fate, then it was fine, but once this matter was settled, it would be best to return to the Great Gale City as soon as possible. At least, with her father and mother here, she didn't have to be too cautious, and had to submit to him like a servant.

Thinking of this, he could not help but smile bitterly. All of this was just like a dream to him.

When Isao returned with the ice cube, she happened to see a scene like this. Shangguan Qian just sat there, unmoving, his eyes vacant, a smile plastered on his face, and he panicked, immediately running forward.

Before he could say anything, he said, "Shangguan Qian … "You'd better think about it. Things might not be as you think."

At this point, she had even forgotten that they were still in the Imperial Palace, and she had addressed them as Shangguan Qian instead. Shangguan Qian did not pay much attention to them, but he still felt a warm feeling in her heart.

They hadn't known each other for long, but she still cared about him. At this point, she really couldn't continue on like this. Otherwise, she didn't know if she would be able to keep herself alive.

Wake up... After changing into a new dress, she sat down at the dressing table and allowed Yi Shan to help her tie up her hair in a simple yet not disrespectful bun.

"Shangguan Qian, look at me, at least I'm here, it's not that big of a deal. Besides, do you believe what Ouyang Jin said last night?"

Shangguan Qian'er paused for a moment before handing the hairpin to her, saying, "I don't want to talk about this."

Her light words made Yi Shan not know what to say. She could only sigh regretfully.

When everything was ready, she seemed to have thought of something, and said to Shangguan Qian who was still washing up, "The Emperor is already awake."

Originally, she had been too lazy to mention this matter. After all, whether or not the Emperor lived or died had nothing to do with them. However, as soon as she finished speaking, Shangguan Qian looked at her in surprise.

"Are you sure?"

His words were filled with disbelief.

Yi Shan could only nod seriously. She had thought that Shangguan Qian would ask again, but Shangguan Qian just put down the things in his hands, before looking as if he was deep in thought again.

"Has the empress gone over?"

Yi Shan, who was preparing the food, stopped after hearing her question. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "I'm afraid that we'll have to wait for those people to pass."

Shangguan Qian only nodded slightly, but he could not help but heave a sigh of relief in his heart. The Emperor had awoken, and Li Fengyi's wishful thinking was about to come to an end.

After a hasty breakfast with Yishan, Yishan allowed Ben to visit the emperor's sleeping quarters. Although Yishan did not understand, she still went with her.

When passing by the room Li Fengyi stayed in last night, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but stop in his tracks, and then he revealed a mocking smile, beautiful. A man's strategy wasn't infallible, and he couldn't always be smooth sailing.

This time, she would ensure that Li Fengyi would never be able to turn his body.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Emperor's chamber, they stopped at the door. Shangguan Qian had only glanced at the people waiting at the entrance, it seemed that they were all gathered inside.

At this moment, she had forgotten one thing. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, making others suspicious of her.

However, at this moment, she didn't care about it. She just lowered her head and waited quietly at the door. Only when the sound of the door opening rang did she suddenly raise her head, only to see a face covered in a cold mask.

The originally cold face was now devoid of any expression. Aside from the pair of cold eyes that made people sink into the bottomless pit of ice, it was so painful that they forgot to struggle.

After a while, he lowered his head slightly. A wave of bitterness flashed across his obsidian eyes. Because of that pair of cold eyes, he was actually in so much pain that his limbs and bones were riddled with holes.

When he raised his eyes again, it had already covered up all his emotions. With a smile that was the same as before, he slightly nodded his head towards Ouyang Jin.

Afterwards, it was the crown prince, Li Yichen, and the third prince, Li Fengyi. There wasn't a single trace of emotion on their faces, causing others to be unable to see through their thoughts.

If she didn't see the queen, she would be sick waiting for the emperor in the room. That's right, how could she deal with the matter of the Turk and have the emperor speak up? She was actually very curious, the Emperor had just woken up to face such a big mess of things, and he wouldn't be unwilling to wake up.

Seeing Shangguan Qian, Li Yichen only lightly walked past her without saying a word. On the other hand, it was Li Fengyi who lightly sighed. Although his movements were very light, Shangguan Qian still noticed it.

"Why did he come too? Last night …" Did you sleep well? "

Although Shangguan Qian also felt disgust towards Li Fengyi, he still revealed a smile on his face. "It's just that a few days ago, there were some lingering fears, and it was nothing serious, just that Your Majesty …"
