Tonight, the moon was exceptionally bright, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost. A breeze brushed against his face, and his hair fluttered with it. Shangguan Qian stood by the river, his hands behind his back, not knowing what else to think.

"Ghost, ghost!"

Crying out in panic, Cui Yan widened her eyes. When she looked at the bamboo next to her, her face suddenly turned extremely pale, and then she looked at Shangguan Qian standing by the river, her face turning white.

"I'm dead?"

Cui Zhu frowned, and forcefully pulled up the green smoke, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Big Sister Cuizhu, there was a ghost here just now …"

"Cui Yan, are you kidding me?" Shangguan Qian turned around, his black eyes cold and indifferent, looking at her as he continued saying: "I've seen everything you've done just now."

Cui Yan was shocked, the panic on her face immediately disappeared, her entire body could not help but tremble, and she muttered, "Princess, I …"

"Cui Yan, I can't keep you. There's some silver here, go!"

Cui Yan looked dazedly at Shangguan Qian's back, and slowly stood up. She looked at Cui Zhu again, and her eyes were filled with tears, as she said resentfully: "Cui Zhu, I hate you, why are you so smart? Why should anyone listen to you? We are clearly the princess' personal maids, but I do not have any status at all! "

"Cui Yan, I didn't expect you to think this way." Cui Zhu felt her heart ache, looking up to Shangguan Qian, "Princess, please keep her, just pretend that this never happened."

"I don't need your pity. I wish you could die quickly. You're too outstanding, too understanding, and too envious. I've always thought that if this world didn't have you, it would be too good." Cui Yan was crying as she picked up the silver that Shangguan Qian threw on the ground, staring at Cui Zhu resentfully.

"I've always treated you as sisters."

"You put me under too much pressure." Cui Yan bit her lips, glanced at Shangguan Qian, then quickly ran into the depths of the forest. Cui Zhu chased for a few steps, before stopping and looking at Shangguan Qian who was standing far away.

"Princess, Cui Yan, she …"

"Her mind isn't right. I can't let her stay. Let's go."

The two of them turned around and saw a group of people walking over with torches in hand. The one leading them was Bai Zimo, and beside him was shockingly Shen mama and her daughter.

Shangguan Qian Qian looked deeply at Bai Zimo, he had not expected that he would return so quickly, in just a short quarter of an hour, he had actually returned.

"The princess is here. Tell your brother that there is no need to continue searching." Bai Zimo called out, walking to Shangguan Qian's side, "Princess, it's already so late, what are you doing here?"

"The weather was so hot that I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to see Senior Servant Shen and her daughter running out of here in a hurry, so we walked to the riverside. I didn't expect to see my maid." Shangguan Qian'er said passively, glancing at Shen mama with a faint trace of a glance in her eyes.

Shen mama's expression turned a little unnatural as she let out a dry laugh. "This servant and Ruoqi can't sleep either, so they came out to take a walk."

"Is that so?" Shangguan Qian raised his brow, mockery in his eyes. He walked up to Shen mama, patted the dust off her body, and said with a smile: "Then when I came, why were you guys shouting about ghosts?"

Shen mama gave her a deep look. "It's quiet in the night, but I suddenly heard some other sound. It's quite scary. Just now, this servant was frightened, and her calves are still trembling."

"That's right, but I didn't expect it to be Sister Qian who was pretending to be a ghost." Shen Ruqi answered from the side.

Shangguan Qian's pupils contracted, he lifted his hand and slapped Shen Ruoqi, his eyes dark and full of ruthlessness, his lips pursed tightly, as if he was looking at his enemy.

This slap was too sudden. Everyone was stunned and didn't know why she suddenly made a move.

"Slut!" How could you so easily call out my name? Remember your identity! "

"Shallow …" Shen Ruqi's eyes instantly turned red and she called out to her, trying to curry favor with her. However, she didn't expect that she would raise her head and give her another slap.

In an instant, her entire face burned with pain, and her tears fell from her eyes in grievance.

"How arrogant!"

Shangguan Qian glared angrily at her, before turning to leave. Cui Zhu looked hesitantly in the direction Cui Yan had left in, sighing before chasing after his.

Back in the carriage, a strange fragrance was still lingering in the room, and the red tassel was sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up.

Shangguan Qian opened the curtain of the carriage and switched it with a cold wind, blowing away the scent of the knockout drugs before finally sitting down with Cui Zhu.

"Princess, why didn't you give Shen Ruoqi any face just now?" Cui Zhu sat on the side, placed the plate of snacks on the table, poured another cup of tea, and asked.

"She always wants to know who is the master and who is the servant. How can I let her be a hero?"

Shangguan Qian seemed to be a little tired, his eyes squinted as he laid down at the side. Although his tone was light, but it had a hint of maturity to it.

There was astonishment on Cui Zhu's face as she opened her mouth in disbelief, "The princess has changed a lot in the past few days, it makes it hard for Cui Zhu to believe."

"How's it going?"

"I'm mature, my mind is also …" Cui Zhu paused for a moment and did not continue. She was a maid. How could she say that the princess had a pure mind before?

Shangguan Qian sneered coldly, his voice cold, "People have to learn to grow up."

It was bright in the sky, Shen Ruoqi had long since arrived at her side to serve.

"Where did Cui Yan run off to? I haven't seen her since early in the morning. " Hong Ying muttered, completely unaware that the people beside her had changed their expressions.

"Don't mention Cui Yan anymore." Cui Zhu looked at her and whispered.

Although the red tassel didn't know what was going on, it was clever enough not to mention Cui Yan again. The group of people once again hurried on their journey, getting closer and closer to the big swallow.

However, the closer she got, the sadder her heart became. She couldn't help but think of the entire four years she had spent here, and her hatred continued to grow.

"Princess, why haven't you rested yet?"

Inside the inn, Cui Zhu came in with a cup of hot tea. His eyes were filled with surprise as he had already reached the boundary of the Big Yan. He believed that he would be able to enter by noon tomorrow. Entering Great Yan, but why did Shangguan Qian not look so happy?

The matter of her love with the Third Prince of the Great Yan had been spreading like wildfire, and had even turned into a beautiful tale. She had thought that she would be very happy, but Cui Zhu had sensed that Shangguan Qian's expression was very bitter, not happy at all.

"I can't sleep."

"Are you thinking about getting married?" Greenwood handed her the tea.

With a sorrowful look on his face, Shangguan Qian said in a low voice, "I just miss my royal father and mother a little."

Cui Zhu looked at her, not speaking. Instead, she walked in front of the table and lit the candle wick. At this moment, a delicate fragrance wafted through the air.

Caution flashed in Shangguan Qian Qian's eyes as he stood up abruptly, placing the pillow on top of it. The scissor was about to arrive at the big swallow, would there be any sudden change at this time?

The window opened and a black figure rushed in. His speed was very fast and he directly jumped beside the bed. He grabbed the scissors in her hand.

"You can use this to hurt me?"

Only now did Shangguan Qian recognize that it was Nightingale. When he let out a breath of relief, vigilance once again flashed through his heart. As the Young Master of Red Chamber, why was Nightingale following her and the other's team all the way?

What was his purpose?

Nightingale sat down on the edge of the bed and looked around, laughing, "So this is what a woman's room is like, third imperial concubine."

His voice was full of mockery, and he was sitting casually on the bed. His actions were as if he had become a prodigal son.

"Since you know this is your room, why did you barge in?" It's just a wolf! "

"I …" Wolf? "Alright, since she's the third imperial concubine after all, I've struck the jackpot." Nightingale giggled as she looked at her, and then she deliberately stood up and walked towards her.

Shangguan Qian's expression changed, his face was a little gloomy. What was this fellow trying to do?

With one hand on the bed curtain, he observed Shangguan Qian's calm face up close, a little puzzled in his heart. If it were an ordinary girl, she would have already started screaming. But she didn't seem to care.

"Do you think anyone would believe it if word spread that the third imperial concubine was involved with another man before she married him?" He stared at her closely with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, his warm breath spraying onto her face. Other than a frown, she had no other expression.

"Are you any other man?"

Nightingale, who had choked on her words, was unable to speak. How could she accidentally let herself get wrapped up in it? With a dry cough, she began to create a kind of warmth. The atmosphere instantly vanished without a trace.

"So boring. We haven't seen each other for days, right? "You don't miss me at all?" Nightingale leaned against the bed. He stepped forward and stared at her sloppily.

"You think too much." Shangguan Qian said indifferently, walking over to Cui Zhu's side. With some effort, he lifted her up and placed her on the chair. "If you want to come, then come, why did you knock out my maid?"

"Aren't you afraid that she will misunderstand us? What do you think we have? "

"Is there anything between us?" Shangguan Qian sat on the chair, taking a sip of tea, "What did you come looking for me for?"

"I'm just informing you about the good news." Nightingale narrowed her eyes and looked at her, the silver white mask shining under the candlelight.

Shangguan Qian Bei stared at him doubtfully, obviously not believing what he had just heard. What good news could Nightingale bring her? Could it be that Li Fengyi made his move again?

"Why didn't you ask me what the good news is?"

"If you want me to know, I'll tell you." Shangguan Qian looked at him calmly. Although he was curious about what this news was, he did not take the initiative to ask.

If she asked, she would have to owe Nightingale a favor. She wasn't afraid of anything else, she was only afraid of owing someone a favor. A debt of gratitude was hard to repay.
