Thinking about his life, his suffering, his vows, and his responsibilities and mission, he probably didn't even know what was the most important thing in his life.

He did not know how perturbed he was. Most importantly, even if she did not know what to do, she had her royal father and mother, as well as the princess of the Great Desolate Nation's mission. But, which one was what she wanted?

Most importantly, the two of them probably did not have it. They only had their responsibilities. Thinking up to this point, they could not help but feel some sadness. Even if they were reborn, they would still be terrifyingly lonely.

"Qian'Er, there are a lot of important things, but the most important thing is that I don't know."

Shangguan Qian was only slightly startled, not expecting the two of them to be so similar. He mumbled to himself: "Actually, I am as well."

She didn't dare to say that Ouyang Jin was the most important person to her, regardless of whether she was or not. Even if it was impossible, she still hoped in her heart that she would be able to hear him say something like that.

The two remained silent for a while. There was a tacit understanding between them that unless they pointed it out, it would be fine.

He just felt that Ouyang Jin … His body was extremely weak, as if watching him weaken day by day. Even so, he still refused to talk about the method to cure her, and calling him Shangguan Qian was also helpless.

Shangguan Qian'er had fallen asleep in his embrace, though he had not slept at all. He did not know when Ouyang Jin had left, or what he had done next. In his sleep, he could hear someone calling out to him softly, filled with love.

The next day, Shangguan Qian was jolted awake, luckily it was a nightmare!

Looking at his surroundings, Ouyang Jin had long since left. Originally, she had been sleeping soundly, but in the latter half of the night, he had a nightmare, causing his to break out in a cold sweat.

Yi Shan happened to walk in. Seeing her like this, she couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What happened?"

Shangguan Qian'er came back to his senses, smiling as he consoled her, "It's just a nightmare. It's alright, what time is it now?"

Yi Shan put down the things in her hands and looked at her. After confirming that nothing was wrong, she said, "Noon. Moreover, that Imperial Concubine Xiao has sent someone over. I sent them back."

Shangguan Qian got up to wash up, and upon hearing her say this, he couldn't help but be curious. It was obvious that Yishan would normally not meet with anyone. At most, I can't do anything about it. This time, how did I get rid of you?

"It's nothing. I just broke a glass of water in front of her and she left. You don't know how long she's been blabbering on and on. It's really annoying."

Shangguan Qian Shan paused to comb his hair, then gave her a strange look before falling silent.

She was so quiet that it made Yi Shan a little confused. She asked carefully, "Did I do something wrong?"

Shangguan Qian did not want to talk about her at first. After all, they were just friends, and Yi Shan was not one of her subordinates.

He could only helplessly sigh, "I'm afraid Imperial Concubine Xiao already knows that you have martial arts, but it's better if she fears you for a while."

This time, Yi Shan understood what she had done. To be able to shatter a glass of water with one hand, it was impossible for her to be a powerless little palace maid, and the palace maid who had fallen last time would always think of him, followed by Shangguan Qian.

"Did I give you a big problem?"

Right now, Yishan's face was full of regret, without any trace of the smug look he had had just now. Looking at his drooping head like this, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"It's not a big deal. Imperial Concubine Xiao will know about it sooner or later. Help me get my hair done. We'll see her later."

When she thought about it, it was indeed not a big deal. Yi Shanshan finally regained her smile and swiftly tied Shangguan Qian's hair into a simple bun. She usually liked to wear men's clothes, but she was actually a clever girl.

Shangguan Qian was very satisfied, he pulled her down to eat breakfast. After all, they didn't dare to eat the things inside Imperial Concubine Xiao's palace in a while.

As if she had just used it for food, Shangguan Qian remembered something, he looked at Yi Shan and asked, "Then what are you going to do with Big Bro Shen Ting's place?"

She knew that Yi Shan was feeling terrible inside, and she didn't have any reason to risk her life with him. It would be fine if she was her servant, but she was also a noble princess, and her status was similar to hers.

"I really don't want to go back to Turkic."

Isao answered bluntly, with a hint of guilt at first, but it was also a fleeting moment.

"Then you …"

Shangguan Qian was still unsure, and asked cautiously.

"I'll accompany you, and … Accompany him, and then find a chance to rescue Sen Ya.

The corners of Shangguan Qian's eyes twitched a little, but he did not say anything sarcastic. The world was so dangerous, with her martial arts skills, coupled with his brain, he was about to be snatched away as a concubine before he could be righteous.

Of course, this was also a slander in Shangguan Qian's heart, and he did not dare say it aloud. After all, she could not beat Yishan.

After having lunch, Shangguan Qian said a few words to the Queen before heading to Imperial Concubine Xiao's palace.

"Tell me, what do you mean by 'Queen'?"

Shangguan Qian really thought that it was a lucky thing for Yishan to leave the Palace so early. Being so curious, he could not hide anything, even words and thoughts he did not understand.

He glanced at their surroundings. Luckily, there weren't many people around. Otherwise, it would be a huge problem for him.

"It's nothing much, just to make me pay attention. By the way, please remind me that it will completely cut off the possibility of Imperial Concubine Xiao and I becoming linked."

After thinking for a while, Shangguan Qian decided to explain all of this so that Isao wouldn't ask any more questions. Besides, it was better to know now than to slip up later.

"I think the empress is thinking too much. How can we be linked with Imperial Concubine Xiao?"

As for Shangguan Qian Qian, there was nothing he could do about it. With his innocent personality, he was really unsuited for scheming and scheming, but whether it was in the martial arts world or the palace, it was inevitable that this would happen.

Yisan, there is no eternal enemy, nor any eternal benefit. This is the law and the rule of the palace.

At first, she didn't want to talk to Yi Shanshan about this. After all, her carefree personality really made things difficult for herself. However, people really couldn't live too simply, and they definitely couldn't take things too lightly.

Yi Shan was startled as she recalled her own words. She was indeed naive. She could not help but lower her head and no longer spoke.

Seeing that they were about to reach Imperial Concubine Xiao's palace, Shangguan Qian Bei couldn't help but mention something to his, "Remember to be careful what you see later. It's best if you don't eat or drink anything, and if you can't avoid it, don't really swallow it."

After what happened just now, Yi Shan had naturally remembered all of it. She never thought that the palace would be so complicated. That person was the head of the Imperial Physician Courtyard, and she was surrounded by so many ladies and nobles. She didn't know how careful she had to be and couldn't help but feel pity for him.

Shangguan Qian had yet to enter the door when he heard Imperial Concubine Xiao's voice, "Aiyo, I thought you weren't going to invite the princess here at all?" The empress doesn't need anyone in front of her, is the princess free now? "

Facing such mockery, Shangguan Qian only smiled faintly, then bowed respectfully, purposely ignoring the mocking smile on Imperial Concubine Xiao's face.

"Aiyo, I can't accept such a great gift from the Empress."

Although she said that, she did not have any intention of getting Shangguan Qian'er up, and Shangguan Qian did not dare to offend her anymore, so he was still fortunate.

Although Yi Shan could not bear to continue watching, she did not dare cause Shangguan Qian any trouble, bowing to her as well. After the tea was finished, Imperial Concubine Xiao said, "Princess is too polite, please get up."

He signalled to the maidservant at his side, and then sat down beside her, keeping his head low and not saying a word.

Imperial Concubine Xiao looked at her weak and easily bullied appearance and couldn't help but sneer. She thought to herself, "This is the best way to get rid of Third Prince. Isn't she just a princess? Besides this for the first time, she might be able to help."

However, he did not notice a flash of mockery and hatred in the depths of Shangguan Qian'er's eyes. To make things difficult for him, and it was even for that scumbag, it was indeed hateful and pitiful.

"I don't know if Princess has ever eaten lunch, but at this moment, I don't even eat lunch!"

Imperial Concubine Xiao lazily lay on the bed, while the palace maid beside her carefully hammered her legs. Furthermore, in front of her was a dish of peeled orange, very discontented.

Shangguan Qian'er lightly lowered her eyelashes. "I've already used it when I was here just now. Since the Empress wants to have lunch, I'll come again next time."

As she spoke, she prepared to get up. She really couldn't stand her way of doing things. It was simply disgusting. The key point was, she had just eaten lunch before.

Moreover, before she even entered this room, she would have already thought about Imperial Concubine Xiao and Li Fengyi's meeting. Although she no longer had any feelings for Li Fengyi, she could not help but hate this man.

Of course Imperial Concubine Xiao did not want to ask Shangguan Qian to leave. She had asked her so many times, but she had refused several times, it was hard to get her to stay in the palace. How could she be willing if she let Shangguan Qian off just like that?

"If that's the case, then I'll just use it later. It's rare for a princess to come by, and I haven't even brought out the gift we talked about last time."

As he spoke, he gave a look to the palace maid beside him. Very soon, someone came out with a plate full of jewelry.

Imperial Concubine Xiao's preferences were as ordinary as her own.

And it was vulgar.

Although she already felt extremely disgusted, she still wore a faint smile on her face. And that faint smile caused Imperial Concubine Xiao to resent it even more. Her eyes seemed as if they had been poisoned.

Shangguan Qian had been paying attention to Imperial Concubine Xiao's expression. Seeing her like this, he naturally didn't take all her jewelry, instead choosing a jade hairpin and saying, "Thank you very much, esteemed lady."

Looking at the items in his hands, and thinking about what he had said, Shangguan Qian really felt that he was pitiful, but … It was necessary for Imperial Concubine Xiao to be pleased with herself. In that case, she didn't mind pretending to be pitiful.

"Look at what the princess has said, it's just some stuff that cannot be displayed on the stage. As long as the princess likes it, it's good."

Looking at the item in Shangguan Qian's hand, Imperial Concubine Xiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Although the action was small, it was still enough for Shangguan Qian to see. His heart hardened. This Imperial Concubine Xiao was definitely a fake.

The Xiao family was a noble family with three prime ministers. How could they care so much about such a thing? They couldn't be petty. Furthermore, the family rules were very strict, so it was impossible for them to let a direct daughter practice martial arts.

Most importantly, this Imperial Concubine Xiao didn't seem to know what was good for her.

Although the item in her hand wasn't as beautiful as those golden hairpins, it was still the most expensive. It was a top quality blue jadeite. This hairpin was worth even a city!
