In the evening, Shangguan Qian gave some instructions to Cui Zhu before he left with Yi Shan, calling Red Toad as well.

This way, at least the green bamboo didn't dare to directly follow them out, and they went straight into the bamboo forest to hide.

Sure enough, after an hour, Cui Zhu pushed open the door and came out. She looked around and, without looking, knew that the red tassel had been hit with acupuncture points.

Shangguan Qian and Yi Shan looked at each other, but just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by Yi Shan. "Wait a moment, she went into the house."

Shangguan Qian'er followed his gaze, and indeed, he was nowhere to be seen. However, she did not wait long.

This time, it was a black figure that came out. Shangguan Qian did not have any martial arts, and his eyesight was naturally inferior to Yi Shan's, so when Yi Shan appeared, she did not have time to react.

"You …"

Seeing Yishan, Cui Zhu was also stunned. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she realized that she was wearing a nightgown and that there was no need to say anything else.

Even though her face was covered by a mask, one could still see her bloodthirsty smile.

"I want to know why you betrayed me."

Although it was half a beat late, Shangguan Qian who had just come out did not lose his bearing.

Seeing Shangguan Qian who had come out, Cui Zhu's gaze also flickered for a moment, but she still said coldly, "We have our own owners."

In the dark of the night, Shangguan Qian's expression could not be seen, but at this moment, she suppressed his grief. Those who treated his sincerely and betrayed his, this feeling was truly uncomfortable.

"But, have I ever treated you poorly?"

When Shangguan Qian said this, he only lowered his head slightly, his eyes filled with grief.

Cui Zhu was startled for a moment, but then revealed a smile, "I never treated you badly, that's just a servant for you, you are a noble princess, all the stars bow to the moon, and I am just a little girl, you are good to me, so I have to be grateful to Dai Ji, and you are not good to me, so I can only accept it, haha, this kind of good, do you think that I can accept it?"

At this point, it was clear that Cui Zhu had lost control of herself. She looked at Shangguan Qian with less respect than before, and more of her attention was focused on the accusation.

At this point, Shangguan Qian had nothing to say, because the difference in status between them was indeed such.

However, she didn't treat them as maidservants. As long as they didn't betray her, she would always be willing to part with those worldly possessions. This world was just like this, and which master could do such a thing.

"If you don't think I'm good, then what about that master of yours?"

As Shangguan Qian said that, Cui Zhu revealed an expression of reverence, as if she was looking at a god. This caused Shangguan Qian to feel even more puzzled.

Shangguan Qian asked coldly with a hint of a smile, "Don't you know how dangerous it is to be an informant?"

Cui Zhu was startled, "But I don't regret it."

"Was it a trap when I bought you back from the traffickers?"

She still remembered when she went out to play at the age of twelve, when she saw the green bamboo that was about to be beaten to death, she used one of her father's jade pendants to save her. Inside the building.

A look of hesitation flashed in Cui Zhu's eyes, but it was caught by Shangguan Qian. At this point, the three of them were standing not far from each other, and Shangguan Qian was not afraid that she would make a move.

"No!"

Although he said that word expressionlessly, Shangguan Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud. It was good, he had raised another ingrate.

The people around her, she wouldn't let them bully her for nothing. Just like the last time when she offended Consort Xian, she had to take great risks. She was afraid that at that time, she would be pretending.

"But, I don't want to be your servant for the rest of my life. Is this wrong?"

"If you were a bit more righteous, then what would be wrong with that? It's just that you, Cui Zhu, are so ungrateful. Are you at ease?"

Shangguan Qian'er's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smirk. How could she be so easy on someone who had plotted against her!

"Yishan, the rest …"

Shangguan Qian did not finish his words as a few needles flew towards her. She did not have any martial arts skills, so she naturally could not avoid them. As for Yishan, who was beside her, he had managed to grab hold of her, but was still hit by one of the needles.

She knew that Cui Zhu knew martial arts, but she had not expected her needle to be this good. The key was that the hidden weapons were hard to guard against.

"Isao, how are you?"

Shangguan Qian noticed that Yishan's face was slightly unsightly, and he quickly asked.

Yi Shan shook her head, standing up with his sword, looking at Shangguan Qian asked, "Are you hurt?"

Shangguan Qian'er looked at her worriedly. "I'm not, you're just …"

"Aiyo, it really is the deep love between master and servant. Even after getting hit by my silver needles, you still say that you're fine, so why don't you come and try killing me?"

Shangguan Qian Shan looked at the already crazy Green Bamboo with a cold face. She was about to tell Yi Shan not to act rashly, but Yi Shan held her sword and stepped forward.

The two of them immediately started to call out to each other. Although Yi Shan's martial arts skills were supposed to be above Cui Zhu's, it was only because she was ambushed by Cui Zhu's silver needles. At this moment, Yi Shan was actually at a disadvantage.

Shangguan Qian was worried in his heart, and he did not think much as he ran out of the yard. There should be guards outside, but before she could even take a few steps, he was stopped by a black clad man.

"Feng Yi, you …"

Before she could finish her words, the black clothed man had her sword pressed against her neck. At this time, Yi Shan was completely unable to move.

Shangguan Qian'er took a deep breath, looking calmly at the black clad man and said: "You also know that if you hurt me, it will not be easy to heal. Since that is the case, you should let go of your sword."

"Qing Xuan, don't be tricked by her."

At this time, Cui Zhu was too lazy to make things difficult for Yishan, holding her sword instead she walked up to Shangguan Qian.

"How is it? Are you afraid too?"

With that, he gave a look to the man in black beside him and said leisurely, "You have no business here, leave the rest to me."

The black clothed man did not move. Cui Zhu frowned, and just as she was about to speak, the black clothed man snatched her away.

"Mistress did not ask you to hurt her."

Her voice was low and gruesome, but when it reached Shangguan Qian's ears, it was like the sound of nature itself. As long as she kept her life, she would have a way to escape.

"I will take care of master's affairs myself."

There was some fear on Cui Zhu's face, but she still spoke coldly.

The black-clothed person's face was a little moved, Shangguan Qian almost opened his mouth again, but Cui Zhu beat him to it, "What, my words, do you still not believe them?"

Finally, the black-clothed man moved to the side, pleased with this result, Cui Zhu raised her sword and beamed at Shangguan Qian.

Currently, Shangguan Qian still had a calm expression on his face, not even a hint of fear, even though his hands were already covered in sweat.

"I want to know where your hatred for me comes from."

As soon as Shangguan Qian's words fell, a sinister light appeared in Cui Zhu's eyes. If it was before, she would not have felt such hatred, but Master had actually asked her to protect her.

In her eyes, her master was an existence akin to a god. When had he ever been so concerned about a girl before? What's more, this woman …

"Because you are wrong. So what? I want to kill you, what right do you have to resist?"

This time, Cui Zhu was no longer as timid as she usually was, just like an Asura that had just come out of hell, looking at Shangguan Qian with a complacent expression.

If not for the fact that she was afraid that she would attract the guard over with a loud laugh, she would probably be laughing out loud by now.

Shangguan Qian wanted to say more, but Cui Zhu interrupted her, "Don't worry, it's easy to explain to Master that you were killed by someone else. Besides, I can also do it seamlessly, so …"

"Then, how should you explain it?"

A bone-chilling voice rang out from behind him. Even though he didn't see the person, he still felt a chill run down his spine.

Of course, when they saw the newcomer, it was not as simple as shivering with fear.

"You … "You're the Imperial Advisor …"

"Not bad, your eyes aren't blind."

Ouyang Jin was clad in a crescent-moon-colored robe, and had snow-white hair. Under this cold moonlight, one couldn't help but think of a man-eating monster.

However, she had at least seen some of the world, so she did not panic, and instead held the sword by Shangguan Qian's neck, then pushed her in front of her.

"I wonder why the Imperial Advisor wants to protect our princess?"

Although she pretended to be calm, she was still a bit flustered. Even her body was trembling, and she couldn't hold her sword steadily.

Ouyang Jin smirked. "This sovereign is only protecting his own woman. I can't refute that."

As he finished speaking, he glanced at the black clothed man behind them. With just a glance, that black clothed man immediately threw away the sword in his hand.

"Honored Imperial Advisor, I just …"

"Damn it!"

After saying those words, the black-clothed man fell to the ground. His face was filled with disbelief, and his entire body was curled up, revealing an extremely painful expression. However, this pain did not last long, and he did not even flutter, dying just like that.

At this time, the calmness that Cui Zhu had been pretending to be, vanished like smoke into thin air. She only stared at Ouyang Jin as if she was looking at a monster.

"You … "Don't come over, or I'll …"

Before she could finish her words, she felt a chill on her back, and the sword in her hand became uncontrollable, and she died with her eyes wide open. Her face was filled with disbelief and fear.

"Qian'Er, are you alright?"

Ouyang Jin grabbed Shangguan Qian, hugging her nervously as he asked. Shangguan Qian only pushed his away a little, but when he let go, Ouyang Jin locked his down tightly, unwilling to let go no matter what.

"Ouyang Jin, I'm fine." I just... Cough cough, you're hugging too tightly. "

Hearing Shangguan Qian's words, Ouyang Jin immediately let go and carefully observed her. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Do you know how worried I am about what I saw just now? It's a good thing that you're fine. "

As he spoke, he looked at the two corpses on the ground, "Throw them to the unmarked cemetery."

These five words were completely squeezed out of his teeth. Several men in black suddenly appeared behind him. They were not moved by this result at all. This was the lightest punishment.

As for how to deal with these people, Shangguan Qian didn't have any objections. He pushed away Ouyang Jin and ran straight to Yi Shan's side.

When she helped Yishan up, she found out that her mouth was purplish black, and that silver needle was actually poisoned.

"Wait a minute, let's see if they have the antidote on them."

Shangguan Qian Bei's voice held back her nervousness. Yi Shan had been injured in order to save her, how could she be at ease? Furthermore, with this poison, it was easy to tell that it was difficult to cure.

At this time, Ouyang Jin also walked over and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse. Then, he looked at the few men in black who were starting to take action.

After a long while, those few men finally said in a deep voice, "I can't find any antidote."

"How could this be?" Shangguan Qian's body retreated a step, Ouyang Jin was the one supporting him, otherwise he would have sat on the ground.

"Go and invite Xue Xuan over."

Ouyang Jin's words caused Shangguan Qian to be startled for a moment, before a glow appeared on his face, "Yes, quickly hand it over to Xue Xuan. His medical skills are so high, he will definitely be able to find a way."

After saying that, he turned to Ouyang Jin and said, "Help me carry Yisan into my room first."

Ouyang Jin nodded his head, and when all this was done, he sighed and took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom. Upon seeing his treasure, he knew that it was extremely important, but he still poured one and passed it to Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian also did not make up his mind, but he only stuffed it into Yishan's mouth and drank a mouthful of water.

Now, all he had to do was wait for Xue Xuan to arrive, but unfortunately, an unexpected guest had arrived before Xue Xuan arrived.

Shangguan Qian and Ouyang Jin exchanged glances; why would Li Fengyi come at this time? If that was the case, then tonight's matter …

Shangguan Qian took a deep breath, but Ouyang Jin only said lightly, "I'll take care of everything, nothing will happen to me."

After which, he walked out of the room.
