The atmosphere became somewhat awkward. The imperial concubine's face was ashen, and between her brows, there was a trace of anger.

"Imperial Consort, a phoenix is just a child's temper. If you let her cause a ruckus, it would be fine."

The one who had spoken was actually Steward Li. Shangguan Qian looked at him deeply, surprise in his eyes. As a steward, he should not have taken part in such things, especially when it came to matters between Li Danyeng and Imperial Concubine Li, but this steward Li was different.

She felt that something was amiss, at least this Butler Li did have some prestige in the Third Prince's Mansion.

"Butler Li, this alchemy phoenix isn't young anymore. She's just fooling around all day. I really wonder when she'll grow up." The imperial concubine sighed and rubbed her head with a slight headache. "Danfeng, you're not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay here and eat."

"Aunt …" Li Danyeng pouted with a face full of unhappiness, "Why do you have to side with Shen Ruoqi, that slut?" "People!"

"Who else am I to? Shen Ruoqi might not be a good person, but don't forget, her stomach is still full of Feng Zhizi's!" As she spoke up to this point, she subconsciously looked at Shangguan Qian, shaking her head helplessly.

"Hmph, she relied on the child in her stomach to be big brother Yi's warmth. The bed, otherwise, how could Brother Yi take her! " Li Danyeng angrily muttered, her eyes filled with anger.

A hint of a smile appeared on Shangguan Qian's face. It seemed that this time Shen Ruoqi would inevitably be humiliated by Li Danyeng, and her son's matter was what she cared about the most. Now that she had been warned repeatedly by Consort Yi, with her rebellious personality, she would only treat Shen Ruoqi worse and worse.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that anymore. We will be family in the future, why would we cause such a ruckus?" "Sit down and eat." Senior Servant Bai tried to smooth things over.

As soon as Shangguan Qian sat down, he heard footsteps coming from outside. Li Fengyi strode in with a smile on his face.

"All of you are here."

"Big brother Yi." Li Danyeng excitedly threw herself on top of him and pulled his clothes while smiling, "Brother Yi, didn't you say you won't be back at noon?"

"The matter is settled, and I'm back."

"Good. Sit down and have your meal." Imperial Consort Li smiled lightly and sat down beside Shangguan Qian, while Li Difeng stuck to Li Fengyi.

"Qian'Er, how's the injury on your arm?" Li Fengyi looked at her arm and asked.

A hint of red appeared on Shangguan Qian's face. Faintly, he lowered his head to look at his arm and shook his head. "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Qian'Er, I heard you were injured because you saved Madam Sun?" The imperial concubine asked with a trace of astonishment in her eyes, "To think that I'd coincidentally run into Madame Sun."

"Yeah, what a coincidence that day." Shangguan Qian lowered his head to eat, but there was a hint of understanding in his eyes. Perhaps even Consort Ji would know about the matter between Li Fengyi and Sun Yueru.

Li Fengyi had sacrificed so much for the throne.

A hint of ridicule appeared in her eyes. She was afraid that his efforts would not bring him any good returns.

It was best not to be too greedy, otherwise the heavens would punish us.

"Third Prince, bad news!" Xiao Fu ran in anxiously. His face was covered in sweat.

"Little Fu!" Didn't he see that the imperial concubine was having dinner with the third prince? If you have anything to say, say it later! " Butler Li scolded in a low voice.

"But …" Third Prince really has urgent matters to attend to. "

Li Fengyi looked indifferent as he glanced at Little Fu, "What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Yes …" "Yes …" Xiao Fu looked at Shangguan Qian subconsciously, then lowered his voice and said, "It's the Sun family …"

Li Fengyi abruptly stood up, his face filled with anxiety. "Mufei, I have urgent matters!" I can't accompany you to eat anymore! "

"Alright, then go." When the imperial concubine heard the two words' Sun Mansion ', she couldn't help but knit her brows together in displeasure.

Just as he was about to leave, a money bag fell out from his body. Shangguan Qian quickly picked it up, his brow furrowed.

This …

A look of deep meaning flashed in his eyes as he chased after Feng Yi with large strides, "Feng Yi, wait a moment …" "Aiya."

Shangguan Qian's legs were unsteady, and she fell directly onto the ground, crashing into the door, right into the arm in his hands. In that instant, he felt a sharp pain, and her tears fell instantly.

When Li Fengyi saw her fall, he quickly helped her up, "How are you?"

"I …" "My arms are hurting." She gently lifted her clothes, and blood began to seep out from her hands. It was obvious that the fall just now had truly pressed down on her. The wound split open.

"It might have split open again." Li Fengyi was so anxious that his forehead was already sweating, his tone was anxious, but he could not just leave Shangguan Qian alone.

Shangguan Qian Bei bit his lips, tears welling up in his eyes. Resisting the pain with trembling hands, he handed the money bag to him.

"Feng Yi, your purse just dropped."

"You chased me just to return my bag?" Li Fengyi looked at her meaningfully, as if something was changing in his heart.

"Yeah, don't you have urgent matters to take care of? "Hurry up and go." Shangguan Qian Bei wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and forced a smile, pretending that he didn't care.

Li Fengyi was a little hesitant and whispered, "Can you do it yourself?"

She nodded her head, "I'm fine. I'll bandage the wound for a while and it'll be fine. Hurry up and go, don't delay your urgent matters because of me."

He looked at her with a profound look and nodded. "I'll come back as soon as I can."

Shangguan Qian watched as the man left, a hint of mockery in his eyes. Such a rush to go to the Sun family, perhaps the medicine had taken effect?

It was just that he didn't expect Li Fengyi to be so worried over something like this. From this, it could be seen that Li Fengyi was really good at hiding his emotions.

She lowered her head to look at the wound on her arm. Dark red blood was seeping out of it.

"Princess, are you alright?" asked the imperial concubine worriedly.

Cui Zhu helped her up. Tears welled up in her eyes as she endured the pain, "Qian'Er is fine, but this wound needs to be redressed."

"Aiya, there's blood." Senior Servant Bai glanced at him and said in a low voice.

"Butler Li, go find a doctor!" The imperial concubine spoke a little worriedly, holding Shangguan Qian's hand. "Little girl, you're too strong. Your wounds are already so bad, and yet you still pretend nothing happened."

"Qian'Er is really …" "It doesn't hurt."

When he said the last two words, Shangguan Qian's voice was choked with sobs.

Her appearance caused the surrounding people to sigh. It seemed that the princess genuinely liked the third prince, and had such an understanding of the general situation.

"Hmph. Continue acting. Is it really that painful?" Li Danyeng glanced at her and said with a slightly teasing tone, "You think this little injury is worth it?"

"Qian'Er, it really doesn't hurt. Just like Princess Danfeng said, this little injury is nothing." Although Shangguan Qian said that, but he could no longer hold back his tears.

Tears explained Shangguan Qian's current state of mind, and it made everyone on the scene feel particularly sad. Because they were from another country, even if they had to suffer in the Great Yan Empire, they would still have to endure it.

"Qian'Er, it's been hard on you." The imperial concubine sighed and held her hand tightly.

Sun Mansion —

Li Fengyi rushed all the way to the Sun manor, jumping in from the wall with familiar movements, he ran towards Sun Yuetao's room in large strides.

The atmosphere of the Sun family was especially solemn. Occasionally, there would be people walking in Sun Yuetao's courtyard.

His heart leaped into his throat. He recalled what Ah Fu had told him before, that Sun Yuechan had vomited blood this morning.

They were still fine when they met yesterday, how did something like this happen?

Ignoring the servants who saw her, she anxiously entered Sun Yueru's room. Madam Sun sat by her bed with a worried expression, wiping away her tears from time to time.

"Madam Sun!" "How's Yue Jiao?" He walked over with large strides and asked anxiously.

Madam Sun's expression suddenly changed. With a heavy voice, she asked, "You still dare to come?"

As he spoke, he picked up the cup by his side and threw it towards Li Fengyi. Li Fengyi was baffled and nimbly dodged the cup and looked at the person beside the bed.

Sun Yuetao laid on the bed with a pale face. Above him, his eyes were tightly shut. He was so weak that they had lost all color.

His heart tightened as he lowered his voice intentionally. "Yue Jiao …"

"Third Prince!" Please go back! Yue Jiao is very sick right now, I can't see you! " Madam Sun huffed. "You're not allowed to contact each other again in the future. It's one thing if you can't give Yuexi her name, but you're actually harming her!" As your mother, I've decided on behalf of Yue Jiao. I forbid you all to meet each other again! "

Li Fengyi was confused and asked in bewilderment, "Madam Sun, what do you mean by that? Was it me who caused Yue Jiao to become like this? "

"Isn't it? These days, Yue Jiao didn't drink the medicine and remained fine. She just drank your medicine in the morning and vomited blood.

Li Fengyi's mind buzzed and went blank for a moment. In his mind, he thought back to the drunkards from yesterday.

Was the drunkard arranged by someone else to poison Yue Jiao?

"Madam Sun, did you ask the doctor to investigate the reason?"

"Humph, Third Prince, don't pretend to be concerned about Yuetao. Although the Sun family isn't as powerful as the princess of Dali, they still aren't easy to bully!"

Madam Sun's angry eyes widened slightly as she said in a low voice, "See the guests out!"

"Mother …"

A weak female voice sounded. Sun Yueru opened her eyes and weakly said, "Mother, don't chase him away. I believe that it wasn't done by Feng Yi."

"Silly child, you still believe him when you're already like this?" Madame Sun sighed helplessly. She glared fiercely at Li Fengyi. "It's all because of the medicine he gave you that you became like this!"

"Mom, I believe in Feng Yi. He won't harm me." Sun Yueyi looked at Li Fengyi with a face full of confidence, his eyes full of self-blame.

"Fine, fine, believe me, there's nothing I can do." Madam Sun sighed and left with the maidservants.

Li Fengyi sat by the bedside and tightly held her hand, "Yuechan, I'm sorry. If I had been more vigilant, you wouldn't have been poisoned."

"Feng Yi, I'm fine. Mother has already checked and only added a pill that conflicts with my medicine, that's why I'm vomiting blood. I've given you trouble again." Sun Yujiao was blaming herself as she looked at him, her eyes filled with love and pity.
