Early in the morning, Shen Ruoqi arrived at the hall. Compared to the other serving maids, she seemed rather superfluous. After all these years, she hadn't been able to serve Shangguan Qian, so she didn't know how to make a move.

Her face was covered with a thick layer of powder, but it could not hide the swelling on her left cheek. Combined with the red spots on her face, she seemed to be in an exceptionally sorry state.

"I've embroidered a part of it." Shen Ruoxi lowered her head and answered softly. Combined with Shangguan Qian's last few anomalies, she had become a lot more obedient now. Although she couldn't be sure that Shangguan Qian had found out about her, she still had to be a little more careful.

After all, she was still in the palace, and her words still had the final say. But once they left the palace, it was unknown who would make the final call. Thinking up to here, a mocking smile appeared on Shen Ruqi's face.

"I'll be troubling Ruoqi."

"It's my blessing."

Shangguan Qian had a sickly look on his face as he looked out the window. It had rained heavily last night, but the air was especially fresh and fresh.

"Let's go out for a walk."

In a small pavilion beside the lotus flower pond, Shangguan Qian sat on a stone bench, sipping his tea and pointing at a nearby lotus flower. "This lotus flower blooms beautifully."

"If the princess likes it, the green bamboo can be picked for her." Cui Zhu said while making tea.

On the other hand, the red tassel who was preparing the snacks said straightforwardly, "Big Sister Cui Zhu is making tea. If you leave, who can make the tea? I think it's better to let Shen Ruoqi go, since she hasn't done anything at all. "

"Can't you see we're all busy? It seems like you're the only person here. If you don't go, who else can you go to? Only people with a lot of ideas will think that others have a lot of ideas. " The red tassel retorted at a moderate pace, angering Shen Ruqi to the point that her face turned white.

She looked at Shangguan Qian with a wronged expression, as if she wanted to cry but could not do so, "Big sister Qian, look at the red tassel, it only knows how to bully me."

Shen Ruoqi really didn't treat her as a servant, but instead started discussing about sisters with her. In the past, she was heartless, and she even felt close to her, but now, listening to her sister only made her feel disgusted.

"That lotus is very close to the shore. You go pick it and try."

Shen Ruqi bit her lips and looked at her resentfully. Since Shangguan Qian Bei had spoken, she could no longer refute him. She was angry, but could not vent it out, so she walked slowly towards the lotus pond.

The lotus flower looked very close to the lotus pond, but in reality, it was very far away. Shen Ruoqi had stretched half her body out, but she still couldn't pick it.

"Plop ~ ~ ~"

The sound of falling into the water attracted the pavilion's attention.

Shangguan Qian Chao calmly ate his dessert, looking at the woman flopping around in the lotus pond with a trace of happiness in his eyes.

As for Cui Zhu and Hong Ying, they didn't see Shen Ruoqi fall into the water either. They stood to the side without saying a word, but Cui Yan, who was standing by the side, was a little anxious.

"Princess, Shen Ruoqi seems to have fallen into the water. Should we go save her?"

The Princess wasn't blind, so why would she, a palace maid, be so anxious? She was truly blind.

"You reap what you sow." Hong Ying muttered.

Shen Ruqi had already lost her consciousness, but Shang Guanmo calmly twisted the water off his clothes.

His entire body was drenched. Water dripped off his long hair and his clothes stuck tightly to his body. Even though he was battered and exhausted, he still appeared exceptionally calm.

"Is it interesting to play this trick over and over again?"

Shang Guanmo's deep eyes focused on Shangguan Qian's body, his eyes were fierce, and his tone was filled with disdain.

Shangguan Qian's brow furrowed instantly. This person knew what she had done from start to finish, so he couldn't bear to see the scene of a hero saving a beauty now?

But what did he know? What did he know?

A person who had never experienced or did not know how those people who encountered her could criticize her in such a manner.

The sneer on his face intensified. "What has my problem got to do with you?"

"I don't want such a thing to happen again. At least, before you get married. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences."

The disgust in his eyes was so strong, Shangguan Qian thought he was someone who knew how to hide himself, but she had guessed wrongly, this' royal brother 'of hers had a good tradition of kindness.

"I would actually like to know what the consequences are. What can you do to me?" Shangguan Qian was smiling, and his voice was soft and gentle, without any killing intent, as if he was still that inexperienced princess who was raised in a greenhouse.

Shang Guanmo merely looked at her coldly before turning to leave without saying a word.

She could feel that Shang Guanmo loathed her, the loathing that seeped out from the depths of his bones. It was just that in Shangguan Qian's memories, she could not get anything related to him.

Forget it, since she was going to be married, she wouldn't have any contact with this person in the future anyway. So what if she hated him, she didn't like Shang Guanmo anyway.

Thinking of this, he felt much better.

"Find anyone to revive her."

Shangguan Qian shot a glance at Shen Ruoqi who had fainted on the ground, with eyes full of loathing, he turned and left.

Everyone saw Shen Ruqi's change in front of their eyes. Although they were surprised by the change in the princess, they still felt comfortable in their hearts. After all, the previous Shen Ruoqi was too arrogant.

After being rescued, Shen Ruoqi cried out loud. Her face was full of grievance, when had she ever been in such a predicament?

In the palace, although she was also a palace maid, when had she ever been bullied like this? As the daughter of the empress's favorite, Shen mama, she'd always prided herself on being her daughter.

Although their treatment was not as good as that of princesses, it was still much better than those palace maids.

However, she did not know when, but Shangguan Qian who had always been obedient to her suddenly changed her attitude, every time it was targeted at her. Was it really because of that bracelet that she had discovered it?

"Mother, what should I do? If I continue to be like this, I will be bullied to death by her. " Shen Ruqi cried loudly in Senior Servant Shen's embrace, her face full of complaints.

"Mother has already made arrangements, tomorrow is the celebration, Shangguan Qian will not be safe!" Shen mama lightly patted her shoulder. Pointy eyes were full of calculations, "Endure it, once we leave the palace, she will be like an ant in my hands. If I tell her to head east, she won't dare to head west!"

Shen Ruqi wiped the tears off her face and nodded heavily.

"I must make her suffer, or else it will be difficult to dispel the hatred in my heart!"

At dawn, the entire city burst into cheers. Everyone knew that the most beloved princess was going to be married off. Early on, there were many people surrounding the city gates.

"Qian'Er, after the ceremony, you are going to get married. Mother …" The empress held her hand tightly, tears streaming down her face. She was choked with sobs.

"Muhou." Shangguan Qian'er hugged the Queen tightly, his eyes filled with reluctance. In her previous life, she had hurt everyone, and in this life, she would not allow such a tragedy to happen again.

So she must change, she must not let him suffer any more harm.

"Alright, go quickly." The empress wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and instructed, "Don't make any mistakes in any of the details. Shen mama, you stay by Qian'Er's side."

"Esteemed empress need not worry, Princess Qian'er is so intelligent. There won't be any accidents."

"Go."

The horse carriage moved forward majestically, Shangguan Qian was seated on the horse carriage, dressed in luxurious attire. The surroundings were all lightly veiled, and one could vaguely see what was happening outside.

To her surprise, she discovered that the one guarding the carriage on top of a white horse was Shang Guanmo.

His warning seemed to vaguely come to his ears, and a trace of ridicule appeared in his eyes. If he was hateful, then why did he come here?

As the carriage moved out of the city, more and more people gathered. Her expression was solemn and she could faintly sense that something was amiss.

Her gaze landed on Shen mama, who was following beside the horse. She seemed to be thinking about someone in the crowd from time to time. Something wasn't right, she thought to herself. This evil slave must have arranged some tricks!

But at this moment, with a thump, she felt as if the carriage had lost its balance and completely tilted to the right. She quickly supported it and steadied her body, but the carriage stopped.

Shangguan Qian's brow furrowed tightly, the crowd outside was growing denser and denser, as his gaze fell upon Shang Guanmo, his expression grave.

Ye Zichen got off the car decisively, and found that the wheel was broken. After looking at it carefully, he noticed that there were obvious knife marks where the wheel was broken. It was possible to guess that someone had done it.

It goes without saying who did it.

"Princess, the carriage is broken. We can't leave." Cui Zhu said in a deep voice, "Moreover, there are a lot of people here, so we must quickly think of a way."

"I know." Shangguan Qian's hands were clenched tight, after looking around, he found that there were actually very few guards.

At this moment, several roars could be heard coming from afar. The surrounding people seemed to be in a state of chaos as they continuously pushed and shoved the guards. Some of them even charged in.

Shangguan Qian's face grew more and more unsightly, as he retreated to the side, dressed in luxurious clothing, his movements very inconvenient.

Suddenly, a silver light flashed past her eyes. She realized something, but was unable to dodge. She was stuck right beside the carriage.

"Princess, be careful!" Cui Zhu tried to push the person who was rushing over, but felt a pain in her arm and a wound impressively appeared.

"Come here!"

She didn't have time to react before she was instantly lifted into the air and carried onto the horse.

Behind her was the faint scent of gardenia, accompanied by a masculine scent. It was a strange feeling, but she felt much safer.

"Cui Zhu, save Cui Zhu, there's an assassin!" Shangguan Qian shouted out anxiously, his eyes quickly searching for Shen mama. However, the surroundings were a mess, he could not be found.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen."

When a few men with daggers approached the place, many guards rushed out from the bamboo forest to surround Shang Guanmo's horse and disperse all the citizens. Only then did the situation settle down.
