"What did you say?"

Li Fengyi had a dark expression as he looked at the man in black bowing in front of him. His eyes were half closed and his voice was as cold as ice.

"This subordinate has only just received the news, Imperial Concubine Xiao is actually dead. However, this subordinate has yet to find out the exact reason."

Although the man in black was cautious, he still told him everything he knew and then lowered his head. He didn't say anything about the other matters.

Li Fengyi fell into a deep silence. What exactly was going on? A imperial concubine actually died in one night? Moreover, with that woman's degree of affection, the emperor actually kept quiet. Could it be …

However, the emperor didn't express anything. He just concealed the cause of Imperial Concubine Xiao's death. This could only mean that Imperial Concubine Xiao had done something shameful and had been discovered.

And for a harem to be disgraced, it could only be … Li Fengyi's hands were tightly clenched and his entire body was emitting a vicious aura. Even his personal bodyguard Chasing Wind could not help but shudder. Body.

Her concubine was unclean, Imperial Concubine Xiao was executed, and the Emperor didn't summon him to the palace. If that was the case, then it shouldn't have been a matter between him and Xiao Mingyue.

Is it the crown prince or the empress?

Although Imperial Concubine Xiao's child in her womb didn't have much of an impact on the position of Crown Prince, with her current degree of being pampered, it was still possible for her to pass the news by.

With brother Shen Ting's arrival, no matter what purpose he had, the situation in the imperial court would definitely be unstable. And if he took advantage of this time to properly take control of the country, in addition to Xiao Mingyue's assistance in the imperial harem … Then, not to mention the title of Crown Prince, he was determined to win even that throne. Now, he had lost a helping hand.

"You can go down first. You must thoroughly investigate this matter. Just make sure you don't make any noise."

After pondering for a moment, Li Fengyi spoke with a dark expression. No matter what the reason was, Xiao Mingyue's death had truly caught him off guard.

The man called Chasing Wind raised his head and calmly looked at him. Then, he lowered his head and left. However, that look contained a lot of meaning. However, Li Fengyi was still lost in his thoughts and didn't notice it.

With both hands grabbing the window sash, he broke off a piece for him. The wood shavings fiercely stabbed into his hands, but he didn't know it until the wet blood slowly flowed down his hand. At this moment, the coldness on his face didn't lessen at all.

With so many things appearing one after the other, he couldn't help but wonder what had gone wrong with him. Everything, although it wasn't the most fatal blow to him, had almost destroyed all of his plans.

Who was it?

Since he still hadn't found out that someone was purposely targeting him, he didn't need to think too much about it. He was just not a simple person!

Shangguan Qian woke up again in the latter half of the night. Although he was tired from the day, he was no longer sleepy, and he could not find out why either.

Since she wasn't sleepy, she decided to take a seat outside the door. At this time, there shouldn't be anyone around.

When he arrived at the outer room, he did not see the sound of Yishan. The bed was empty, and he could not help but feel nervous. Could it be that something happened?

He opened the door gently. The cool wind blew against his face, bringing with it the humidity of the night, but it made him sober up. He took a look at the center of the hall and sure enough, there was no one there.

Li Fengyi was severely injured, he would definitely be alerted, but he didn't know if he would be able to detect him here. If he really suspected him, how would she deal with him? But now, the blood poison in Ouyang Jin's body had already been neutralized.

In that case, it would be difficult for Li Fengyi to ascend to the throne. The only thing was, he did not know how the battle of the Turks would go, after all, that place had half the strength of the crown prince Li Yichen. If it was really broken through by the Turks, then it would be the crown prince's power that would lose.

Shangguan Qian Bei rubbed his temples helplessly. With so many things intertwined together, it was not something that she could handle all of them by himself. However, there was no point in worrying about anything else.

After understanding all of this, he immediately felt that his head, which felt as if it was about to be torn apart, had become a little better. He deeply exhaled, and revealed a relieved smile.

As a powerful and influential Imperial Advisor, he probably hadn't had any time to rest. Although she hadn't asked him about yesterday's hot spring, she could still feel that he had been suppressing something, even Ouyang Jin himself felt pain that no one knew about.

After blowing on the cool breeze for a while, Shangguan Qian was just about to go back when he suddenly felt darkness in front of her eyes. When she calmed down, he found it was a light grey carrier pigeon.

After opening it, she only glanced at it and then slowly rubbed it, but she didn't immediately enter the house. Instead, she stood there, her gaze deep and distant, making it impossible for others to see what she was thinking at the moment. She then went back to her room and burned the slip of paper.

After that, he stood on the stone steps and watched the carrier pigeon flop a few times before disappearing into the faint moonlight, revealing a cold smile. Li Fengyi, you must prepare yourself for this attack.

"Why are you awake?"

This time, Yi Shan was dressed in a black nightgown, and in a flash, she appeared in front of her. However, when she saw Shangguan Qian standing on the porch in his thin clothes, he couldn't help but frown in displeasure.

Shangguan Qian didn't say anything, just followed her inside, then closed the door to the room without lighting up the lamp. Although the room they were in could be said to be a remote room in the queen's palace, usually there weren't many people around, let alone at this time, but they still had to be careful.

"When I woke up, I didn't see you. Where did you go?"

Shangguan Qian also sat down on his bed with a faint glow of the morning sun. Up, looking at Isadore. He went to his night clothes and packed all these things.

Hearing her question, he only paused for a moment, before sitting down beside her. Seemingly recalling something, he got up and poured two cups of warm water, passing one to Shangguan Qian.

Only then did he say leisurely, "I went to Brother Shen Lin Ting's residence."

These few words caused Shangguan Qian's heart to tighten, he even forgot about his injured glass of water, he quickly got up and looked at her, saying, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Because her movements were too violent, more than half of the water in the cup spilled out, and even wet her clothes. However, she did not seem to care at all.

Yisan didn't stop just because of her actions. He leisurely drank the tea in his cup, then reached out to grab her cup, indifferently shrugging his shoulders.

"I know, but I want to know the cause of this war and whether there are any solutions."

How could she not know that Big Brother Shen Ting was the Turkic War God, and his martial arts were far above her own. But no matter how dangerous it was, she still had to try.

There was no good reason to start a war. In fact, they had lost half of their advantage in the very beginning. Even if they won, they would have to pay a heavy price.

She was a princess of a Turk. Even if she could not change anything, she could not stand by and watch as the Turkic soldiers were pushed into the flames of war. This time, it was obvious that there was some unknown transaction between Li Fengyi and Shen Ting.

As for Li Fengyi, how could he be the kind of person who could be bullied? He did not know whether he could bear the price that he offered or not.

Shangguan Qian didn't say anything else until he sat down next to his again, and she could guess his worries and goals. No matter what, she was still a Turkic princess, just like himself, he couldn't sit still and ignore the country's mission of rising and falling.

Sighing slightly, he asked, "Then, what did you discover?"

Yi Shan had originally thought that Shangguan Qian would persuade her, but when she heard her question, she did not hide anything from her, so she told her everything she knew.

"Actually, I already know that Li Fengyi had colluded with Tu Yidao, but I just didn't find any evidence."

The last time, she had been prepared to tell the Crown Prince and Emperor about it, but unfortunately, she did not have any evidence in her hands. Even if she were to testify against Li Fengyi, no one would believe her.

At that time, she was a little apprehensive and hated Li Fengyi more than anything else, but now, she had no choice but to take things step by step. The chance of rebirth was not easy to come by, she had to cherish it well, and make her father the empress and mother, for the sake of Ouyang Jin.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Yishan was not Shangguan Qian, and she could wait. Although she had already taken over the position of the leader, but according to the information she had received, it was likely that she had suffered heavy losses.

Shangguan Qian did not answer immediately, instead looking at her and asking seriously: "Yishan, what do you plan to do?"

If that was the case, there was no need to consider any of his plans. Li Fengyi had already begun to suspect her, and if she were to tell what was going to happen, maybe if she provoked him, he would send someone to make a move on his.

"You know that I don't have any plans …"

At this point, Yi Shan was also a bit disappointed. She didn't think that she would be so useless. Other than some martial arts and strategy, she didn't even know anything, much less fighting.

Shangguan Qian'er held her hand gently, saying in a refined manner: "Yishan, do you know what chips Li Fengyi gave that big brother Shen Ting?"

Shangguan Qian had always been curious about how big of a bargaining chip he needed in order to call himself the Turkic War God, in coordination with Li Fengyi's plan. Such a huge price was naturally something Li Fengyi could afford, and he also needed to help him obtain that position.

Yi Shan lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, she raised his head and answered, "Actually, I didn't hear it very clearly. You know, I don't dare to be too close to the front, but …" I did indeed see a black-clothed person come out of his room, and then I followed that black-clothed person. That person really did enter the Third Prince's Mansion. "

She paused, looking at Shangguan Qian's pensive face, before continuing, "I saw that it was almost daybreak, and I didn't dare to stay outside the palace for long, so I went back the same way I came."

Shangguan Qian's face was calm, though he was a little puzzled as he asked, "How did you get out of the palace?"
