C159

Shangguan Qian only mumbled a few words before moving closer to him, finding a comfortable place to sleep. This made Ouyang Jin give him a doting smile, but within that smile was a hint of helplessness and a hint of melancholy.

When Shangguan Qian woke up, he had thought that Ouyang Jin had left long ago, but he was still lying by his side. At this moment, he was wrapped in a blanket in his arms, he turned his head slightly to look at Ouyang Jin's impeccably handsome face.

That head of white hair didn't reduce his looks in the slightest.

His hazy eyes immediately snapped back to reality. He had been so attached to the man's embrace, knowing full well that he couldn't appear here. If the empress were to discover him, it would definitely bring about a calamity upon both of them. Seeing this sleeping face, she couldn't bear to wake him up.

Looking carefully at the cyan in Ouyang Jin's eyes, it seemed that he hadn't rested well for so many days. He couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. What in the world was he busy with? Why couldn't he take good care of himself?

After a while, Ouyang Jin opened his eyes. He happened to meet the pair of bright eyes that were staring at him. His heart was moved by the scene before him, and he moved forward a little, with bright red lips.

"Why are you awake?"

Such a question was sufficient to prove that Ouyang Jin hadn't woken up. Otherwise, how could he have ignored his current location and asked such a question?

If it wasn't for the palace maids knowing that she didn't like being disturbed in the morning, her room would have been bustling with noise and excitement.

"It's late."

Shangguan Qian also did not want to argue with him about such matters, so he said passively. Originally, he felt sorry for him and did not want to wake him up, but now that he had awoken, it was better to tell him to leave quickly, otherwise things would be troublesome.

Unfortunately, as soon as she got up, she was seized by Ouyang Jin's big hands, and fell into his embrace without a doubt.

If Shangguan Qian had not been calm enough, he would have shouted out loud. What was going on!

"Ouyang Jin, this place, after all, is the empress's palace. As for us …"

They were clearly in love, but it was also against common sense and etiquette for them to act like this. This was something that she could not convince herself of no matter what.

Even if she didn't regret it in the slightest.

Ouyang Jin's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he looked at Shangguan Qian'er guiltily, saying in a self-reproachful tone, "Qian'er, give me a little more time, at most two months, after I settle all these matters, I will marry you."

Shangguan Qian was still struggling to get up when he stopped, looking at Ouyang Jin in disbelief. Was this a promise?

Because she was very clear that there were too many obstacles between his and Ouyang Jin, even if they were already like this, she wouldn't dare to ask Ouyang Jin to marry his. Even if Li Fengyi died in the end, the Emperor of Great Yan Kingdom wouldn't allow it.

She did not have the slightest regret in being able to cure him of the blood poison. Even though she knew that there was no result, she did not hesitate to do nothing because the man before her had no one to replace him. She was willing to believe that he was sincere, even if he did not have the slightest promise.

"But, you know …"

Shangguan Qian Qian sighed lightly, then said with some difficulty: "I know that if that was the case, it would be difficult for me, but I still can't help but have some hope, after all, this was what all the girls were thirsty for." Those who asked for it, and those who liked it, would always look the same.

"Don't worry, I will take care of everything!" Furthermore, I will definitely do as I say. "

Shangguan Qian Bei did not know where that confidence came from, but he could not help but leap into his embrace, feeling his firm chest and the scorching heat.

"I do." I believe everything you say, even if it's a lie.

She did not finish her sentence, but instead watched Ouyang Ji get up and put on his robe. At that time, Shangguan Qian really felt like a couple, he felt like a wife at home, waiting for Ouyang Jin to come back before sending him off.

She lowered her eyes. She was truly afraid of looking forward to such a feeling.

When he suddenly thought of Xue Xuan, Shangguan Qian told Ouyang Jin everything he had told Xue Xuan, including bringing him and Yi Shan to meet Sen Ya tomorrow night.

Ouyang Jin didn't say anything. After he was done, he just said, "I understand." But even these few words were filled with boundless tenderness.

"Then do you think Xue Xuan is trustworthy?"

Shangguan Qian still voiced out the worries in his heart. Xue Xuan would not become a friend, but he was not an enemy now.

Ouyang Jin's gaze turned heavy. It was best that Xue Xuan didn't have any delusions of scheming against Qian'Er. Otherwise, no matter what agreement they had, he wouldn't let him go.

Ouyang Jin's sudden outburst of viciousness scared even Shangguan Qian, and he furrowed his brow as he asked, "Is it very troublesome?" You look so worried? "

As he said that, he reached out and grabbed his big hand, sending the warmth from his own heart to his well-defined hand.

"It's fine, Xue Xuan is the same … It's probably because of Yeshi. "

Ouyang Jin randomly found a reason and held her hand, a look of helplessness flashing across his eyes. Actually, he was more clear than anyone else in his heart about how this man, Xue Xuan, would change his decision because of someone.

In this way, all he did was to tell Shangguan Qian not to worry too much.

As expected, Shangguan Qian was slightly relieved, and he let go of his hand, walking out the door.

She knew that Ouyang Jin had no need to worry too much about his martial arts. However, she didn't want him to take the risk. She opened the door and saw that there were no other palace maids and eunuchs around, and let out a sigh of relief.

Before she could turn around and talk to him, she felt something warm behind her, and then she heard the warm words, "I have to go. I'll come see you again."

Shangguan Qian'er lowered his head to look at the hand around his waist, covering the unwillingness in his eyes. With a faint "En", he felt the person behind his leaving, and all she could see was a pale crescent moon in front of his.

She came to see you again, but didn't say when. In her heart, she was still somewhat disappointed. She was truly greedy.

Letting out a breath of turbid air, he saw Yi Shan walking over. Where did she go so early in the morning?

Before she could ask, he was dragged into the room by Isao and quickly closed the door.

"Big Bro Shen Ting is leaving."

Without waiting for Shangguan Qian to ask, Yishan opened her mouth and said.

Apart from the initial shock, Shangguan Qian quickly recovered. After all, as the Great General of the Turkic Empire, brother Shen Ting naturally could not stay in the Great Yan Kingdom Imperial Palace forever.

After pondering for a moment, he still asked with some worry, "Has big brother Shen Ting ever seen the Emperor?"

This was something she was worried about. No matter what, if the Emperor wasn't willing to let him go, he wouldn't be that easy to leave, right?

"I don't know about that either. Moreover, what's strange is, where did he get the guts to make a trip to the imperial palace of Great Yan Nation?"

This, not to mention the fact that Yishan didn't understand, even Shangguan Qian couldn't come up with anything. He couldn't possibly come to Great Yan Empire's imperial palace just for Li Fengyi, could he? Wasn't this place devoid of silver?

Or is it … Brother Shen Ting and Li Fengyi were not what he had thought at all?

How is this possible!? She had heard about Li Fengyi colluding with Tu Jue, how could she be mistaken!

Regarding this matter, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but have a big question drop in his mind, he then asked, "How is the war between the Turk and Great Yan Nation?"

After so many days, she was completely clueless about the matters of the battlefield. In her heart, she didn't want to bother with these matters, not to mention that even a single Imperial Concubine Xiao was more than enough for her to bear.

"The crown prince has already led reinforcements."

When Yi Shan mentioned the news, Shangguan Qian was momentarily stunned. He asked in disbelief, "When did this happen?"

Yi Shan was shocked by her serious expression. Although she had her doubts, she still said honestly, "It should be because of what happened yesterday and discussed it with the Emperor."

There was no doubt about this. Unless Li Yichen didn't want the title of Crown Prince and the present third prince was also very favoured, then if he was a bit careless, this position as the crown prince might change hands.

"What news from the third prince?"

Li Fengyi should've long since known of this news. It was no wonder that his brother Shen Ting was returning to the battlefield now. Otherwise, this situation could very well have been reversed.

But!

Why did it have to be yesterday? My brother Shen Ting only returned today, and even though he was imprisoned in the palace in disguise, he definitely wouldn't be able to leave without noticing it. Isn't it too late to leave now?

Shangguan Qian had felt a headache coming on, but he forced himself to calm down. Although he had organized everything, he still did not have a clue.

"Yishan, let's go take a look. Maybe big brother Shen Ting hasn't left yet."

As she said that, she began to wash up, and Yishan's expression was serious. Although there were some things that she did not see through as thoroughly as Shangguan Qian did, but she knew at least that there were so many things that were definitely not normal.

Shangguan Qian turned his head, looking at Yi Shan who was deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"

Yi Shan was startled for a moment before regaining her senses, "I was just thinking, why haven't I seen the Third Prince enter the palace with such a big matter."

These words were like the muffled thunder of a spring rain. Li Fengyi had not even entered the palace yet?

Could it be that he wasn't worried at all? Or was it that Imperial Concubine Xiao's death was too big of a blow to him, forcing him to be careful?

Shangguan Qian'er thought of these things as he waited to see his brother Shen Ting. He walked out of the room with Yi Shan, but they just happened to bump into Li Fengyi who was walking towards them.

Shangguan Qian's slender brow raised, he actually had the heart to look for him at this time, perhaps he had something to ask of him.

"Third Prince."

Without waiting for Li Fengyi to speak, Shangguan Qian bowed with a gentle smile.

Li Fengyi momentarily blanked out, but only for a moment. He then revealed a warm smile, "Qian'Er, since you've been in the palace for so long, I'm afraid you might not be used to it. I came to take a look."

Although he still had a smile on his face, he had cursed Li Fengyi a thousand times in his heart and was spouting nonsense. He clearly wanted to get something out of his mouth, but he still spoke in such a dignified manner.

"Many thanks for Third Prince's concern. Qian'er is very good at the palace, and the Empress is also very considerate towards Qian Chao."

When Shangguan Qian said this, he had been paying attention to Li Fengyi's expression. His originally smiling face had a few cracks appear, but he still hung there stiffly.

"Qian'Er, do we need to be so courteous between us?"

She really wanted to be rude to him as well, but now was not the time. So she had no choice but to continue.

"Where did the Third Prince come from? This is the palace after all, how could Qian'er dare to be impudent?"

Li Fengyi opened and closed his mouth a few times, but he still did not say anything to refute him. On the other hand, Yi Shan, who was beside Shangguan Qian Qian, saw that the two of them had no intention of stopping, and said respectfully to Shangguan Qian Bei, "Miss, didn't you want to go and teach Big Bro?"
