A gust of cold wind blew past, causing Shangguan Qian to involuntarily flinch. His body involuntarily shifted his gaze to the center of the courtyard.

No matter how she felt about it … Ann. "I still can't ignore the fact that there are so many piles of earth in front of me. To be exact, they are lonely graves, and there are no tombstones.

He took a few deep breaths to prevent himself from shouting out loud. Her body could not help but tremble. Even though she had experienced the events of her past life, she was still a princess who had lived a life of luxury. She had never seen such a sinister and terrifying scene before.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Shangguan Qian wanted to leave with Yisan, but he saw Yi Shan looking ahead with a calm expression. It was a few dilapidated houses that made people think of depression.

At this moment, under the tranquil moonlight, everything seemed so strange. Moreover, it was so heavy that it suppressed their hearts. Even their breathing was extremely heavy.

This was the Imperial Palace, how could there be a place like a burial mound? Moreover, even with a cursory glance, there were at least a dozen tombs here without tombstones.

Who exactly was it that could bury this place? Moreover, why wasn't there even a tombstone?

A trace of doubt flashed through his heart. Then, he recalled what Isao had said a hundred days ago. That forbidden land. Could it be this place?

Taking a deep breath, he took a step closer to Isao. "Let's go."

Suppressing the fear in her heart, she calmed down a little, but when she spoke, her body couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, she felt lucky that she didn't call Yi Shan over alone.

Yi Shan was actually afraid, too. Even if she had been walking in the martial arts world for a long time, blood would have flowed out of her body. A fishy scene was not uncommon, but this was the first time such a bizarre scene had occurred.

However, her gaze was fixed on a room in front of her. She remembered that when she first opened the door, they heard a voice from outside. It was the voice of a man and a woman.

While holding Shangguan Qian's hand, Yi Shan did not turn around to leave, but stared at her and asked seriously, "Are you sure you don't want to go in and take a look?"

At this moment, other than Leng Yue, there was no other sound except the wind that carried to the walls of the desolate palace, which was devoid of insects. Even though Yi Shan had lowered her voice, it was still exceptionally ear-piercing here.

She was indeed curious, but it was also real fear. She suppressed the impulse in her heart that was about to flee after a while. He moved and said, "Let's go in and take a look. No matter what, we will leave immediately."

She also wanted to know the secret of this decaying palace. Moreover, she had already walked this far, there was no need for her to continue reading. Furthermore, she did not believe in the words of the gods and ghosts, even if she could not explain her rebirth.

Yi Shan did not answer, but held Shangguan Qian's hand tightly. Although there were piles of earth in the yard, there was still a small path in the middle, allowing two people to pass through.

Ishan walked in front, Shangguan Qian following closely behind. She lowered her head slightly, not asking him to look at the strange, lonely graves. Strangely enough, her heart was strangely quiet as she walked along the path.

Thinking about it, it was only because of the deaths of these people that she didn't care about them at all. Her heart was at peace, so she didn't feel that it was that scary, right?

The path was not very long, and in a moment they were in front of the door. The cobwebs showed that no one had been here for a long time.

Shangguan Qian and Yi Shan looked at each other and exhaled deeply, the door seemed to have some sort of magic, they knew, that once they opened it, they might even see something they couldn't accept, but they still couldn't help wanting to push it open.

The cold moonlight dragged their shadows for a long time, and at this moment, the two people who were too concentrated on the task, didn't notice that behind them, there was a white-clothed woman who was looking at the two of them with interest, before slowly spitting out a few words, "How bold."

They had all heard this voice and turned their heads to look, but they did not see anything. At this time, Shangguan Qian turned around and, without even greeting Yi Shan, pushed open the door.

Due to the sealed door outside the courtyard, he did not have to worry about this place anymore. Therefore, this door that did not even have a lock on was truly easy to open.

Although Shangguan Qian had already prepared himself mentally, he still choked on the dust that assaulted his nose. A sharp pain followed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but lower his head.

When he felt a little better, he realized something strange. Why didn't Yishan say anything for a long time? Puzzled, he looked towards the people around him, only to discover that she was looking forward with a dazed expression. As for Shangguan Qian, she followed her gaze and was immediately startled …

With his white hair and cold mask, who else could it be other than Ouyang Jin?

"How could you …"

He did not ask further, because at this moment, Ouyang Jin looked like he was about to eat someone. Although Shangguan Qian had kept his mouth shut, he still looked wronged. She had not done anything, why did Ouyang Jin look like he was going to eat his?

"Who told you to come here?"

Ouyang Jin's cold words poured out, complementing the cold moonlight. It caused even Shangguan Qian and Yi Shan to be stunned, while Shangguan Qian felt as if his limbs and bones were in pain from the cold.

After a moment of silence, he continued, "I just … "Curious."

Yes, I'm very curious, but if I knew that Ouyang Jin was only here, or that he didn't even want to see me, no matter how curious I am, she wouldn't appear here.

Ouyang Jin didn't say anything. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Yishan behind her. After a long while, he said, "Yishan right? If something were to happen to Qian'Er here, what would you do?"

How could this man be so tyrannical? He was obviously the one who came, and yet he actually blamed her for it. However, at this time, she did not dare talk back, as everyone knew that Ouyang Jin was very angry at this moment.

Looking at the aggrieved look on Yi Shan's face, Shangguan Qian also felt very upset. Ouyang Jin said he was fine with it, but why did he have to say the same thing to Yi Shan?

"I'm the one who's coming. I don't want to go to Yishan. I just want to see what's so special about this forbidden area of the palace."

Shangguan Qian Bei answered confidently, even raising his chin without any trace of satisfaction, even though he could feel the cold air blowing around Ouyang Jin's body.

Based on the principle of running away after offending others, Shangguan Qian only shot a look at Yi Shan before preparing to turn back. However, how could his little tricks hide from Ouyang Jin's eyes?

"Um, Yisan, we've been out for long enough, so the empress won't be worried. Let's go back."

As she spoke, she pulled Yishan along, completely disregarding how untenable her excuse was. It had to be known that the empress had come all night to find her, not to mention that today was the fifteenth. The emperor was probably staying in the empress's palace.

Before Shangguan Qian and Yi Shan could take a few steps, they felt their vision darken, then it was Ouyang Jin's turn around steadily, and they did not even know when Ouyang Jin had appeared.

"Yishan, go back first. I'll be back in a while."

Knowing that he would not be able to leave now, Shangguan Qian had no choice but to call Yi Shanshan to return. Thinking back to what had happened in the daytime, she decided to take advantage of this time to talk things through with Ouyang Jin.

Yi Shan thought Shangguan Qian was just worrying himself, how could he be willing to leave first. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it out clearly here."

Shangguan Qian quickly took the opportunity to say to Yishan, "Yishan, you know he won't hurt me. There are some things I need to explain to Ouyang Jin, you should go back first."

This time, Yi Shan nodded thoughtfully. She had actually forgotten about this matter. Furthermore, she was just an outsider in the matters between Ouyang Jin and Shangguan Qian. Thinking of this, she didn't hesitate any longer, immediately leaving.

"Her martial arts are not bad. This way, I can feel at ease."

Watching as Yishan left, Ouyang Jin said to Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian Qian only felt that the gaze above her head was unclear, and he did not raise her head. As for Ouyang Jin's words of praise and disapproval, she pretended not to hear anything.

"But, if the next time she brings you along to fool around, I won't mind switching martial arts with you."

Shangguan Qian had understood this obvious threat, even though he knew Ouyang Jin would not do something like this, he still raised his head in surprise, only to discover that he had taken off the mask on his face and was looking at him with a serious look.

"You know, I was just messing around. I just saw a shadow pass by my window and came over to take a look."

"Then did you see that person coming here?"

At this moment, Ouyang Jin had a serious expression on his face, and his eyebrows had also changed into a square shape. His originally handsome face now looked even more cold and hard.

"I'm not, I'm just... "Curious."

"Shangguan Qian, no one told you anything that has nothing to do with you, do you want to leave it alone?"

Not only that, he directly called her by her full name. If that's the case, it should be a warning.

Shangguan Qian shrank back a little. His body then looked at Qin Lie with some astonishment. He still hadn't recovered from his inexplicable anger. He only looked at Qin Lie in disbelief.

Ouyang Jin felt a stabbing pain in his heart, but Shangguan Qian held him back, his cold face slightly recovering, but he still did not speak for a long time.

Feeling his body wrapped around hers, Shangguan Qian also felt uncomfortable. She knew that he was worried for Ouyang Jin, but he had his own things to do, and there was no way he could hide under his protection.

"Qian'Er, before you do anything, think about me more. I'm worried."

The words that Ouyang Jin had just said came into his ears, with even a hint of pleading in them. Shangguan Qian's heart twitched, then he looked at him with a pained look. He had finally made him worry, even when he was so busy, he was still worried about him.

"I know."

Shangguan Qian's voice was choked with sobs. Although she had suppressed it with all his might, but the words that came out of her mouth were still hoarse and stinky, completely lacking the joy he had in the past.

Neither of them spoke, and Shangguan Qian also did not notice the white shadow behind them. Other than Ouyang Jin, who was stunned for a moment, she did not notice anything strange.

Suddenly recalling what had happened in the day, Shangguan Qian said awkwardly: "Jin, Li Fengyi and I are actually not what you think we are."
