The footsteps from outside were getting closer and closer. Soon, he heard Cui Zhu's voice from outside.

"Third Prince, my princess is taking an afternoon nap, so it's inconvenient for her to entertain guests."

"Are you taking a nap or having a private meeting with a man?" Shen Ruqi said mockingly, her tone carrying a hint of ridicule, "I just saw with my own eyes a man wearing grey clothes enter, and his movements are familiar, I think he must have been here many times before."

"Shen Ruoqi, the princess treats you well, how can you speak nonsense?" the red tassel angrily asked.

"I'm not spouting nonsense. What I say is the truth, and what I say is the truth!" Shen Ruoqi gave a cold humph, "You're not letting us in, are you not protecting Shangguan Qian?"

"Third Prince is going to play along with Shen Ruoqi?" Cui Zhu looked at Li Fengyi with deep and dark eyes, and with a warning tone, she said, "Princess has a habit of sleeping through the afternoon. Third Prince can enter, but others are not allowed to!"

"What is nonsense? Did I see it with my own eyes? Third Prince, let's go in! "

Li Fengyi furrowed his brows. Although he didn't really believe Shen Ruoqi, but the thought of Shangguan Qian and Li Qingying's warmth filled his mind. He didn't feel good about Ye Mo's relationship, especially since Li Qing Ying climbed over the wall last time.

When he thought here, he didn't hesitate any longer and directly pushed open the door.

The room was filled with a delicate fragrance, and the incense burner placed at the side was steaming hot.

The window of the house was open, just enough to see the peach trees in the yard.

Everything was cozy, and the most eye-catching part was the tub behind the screen.

Li Fengyi's pupils constricted as he looked towards the bed and the bed. There was no one on the bed, and it was obvious that Shangguan Qian was taking a bath.

Shen Ruqi could no longer hold it in anymore, "Shangguan Qian! How dare you hide a man in the third prince's residence? "

As he said that, he strode behind the screen, meeting Shangguan Qian's pair of fierce eyes.

That gaze was too cold. When Shen Ruoqi made contact with it, she trembled and felt a chill run down her spine.

It felt like death was staring at him, which was just too horrifying.

"You …"

Shen Ruqi! Who gave you the guts! " Shangguan Qian's face grew extremely ugly to behold, "You said that you saw a man hiding in my house, you were looking for him, where is the so-called man?"

"Third Prince, although we are not married yet, do you not understand Qian'Er's feelings? Qian'er has always been kind to you and came to the Yan alone. She even let Shen Ruoqi warm you up. "Bed, you still don't trust me. I'm really sad."

The words that were full of complaints came out from Shangguan Qian's mouth, Li Fengyi actually did not feel angry, instead he felt rather ashamed.

"Qian'Er …"

Shen Ruqi's face turned pale, and said in a deep voice, "Impossible, I clearly saw someone enter!" And it's even wearing grey! "

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to touch the water, but he didn't find anything.

Her face suddenly turned even uglier.

Shangguan Qian gave her a casual slap on the face, saying in a low voice, "Shen Ruoqi, who gave you the guts!"

"I …"

"Qian'Er, it's all because of my suspicions. If I believe Shen Ruoqi's words, then I definitely won't lightly trust others anymore!" Li Fengyi sighed, turned around and left.

Shen Ruqi panicked, her eyes filled with disbelief, how was this possible? She clearly saw a man come in. How could he have disappeared?

Shangguan Qian Bei put on his clothes and said solemnly: "You still don't intend to end this farce?"

"Impossible, I clearly saw someone enter, how could I not?"

"Hmph, Shen Ruoqi, I never thought that you would still not let me go. It's fine if you do it once or twice, but if there's a next time, I'll make you pay!"

Shen Ruqi was frightened out of her wits. Her body shrank as she swallowed her saliva. "Princess, I …"

"Get out!"

Shen Ruoqi didn't dare to stay for another half a minute, and quickly ran out. However, she still felt puzzled at the bottom of her heart. She clearly saw someone coming in, could it be that she suffered from heatstroke due to the heat?

Cui Zhu walked in and draped the coat over her body. Her eyes were filled with surprise, "Princess, Hong Ying and I were just stunned. We only woke up when we heard the commotion."

"I don't blame you." Shangguan Qian said passively, a trace of anger on his face: "You're still not coming out?"

Li Qingying, who was hiding behind the bath barrel, came out and could not help but wipe the sweat off his forehead.

"That girl called Shen Ruoqi is too despicable! "She's staring at you all the time, Shangguan Qian. Don't you think it's scary to be stared at like that?" Li Qing Ying asked casually.

Shangguan Qian's eyes were filled with anger as he said in a low voice: "Li Qing Ying, hurry up and leave, don't appear in front of me again!"

"Today was an accident. I really did not expect someone to see it." Li Qingying shrugged his shoulders with a look of helplessness on his face. He was already very cautious, who knew he would be seen again?

"If you didn't appear, there wouldn't have been any accident!"

"Alright, don't be angry. I'll leave immediately. Oh right, will you be participating in tomorrow's hunt? I've picked a gentle horse for you. See you tomorrow. " Li Qingying smiled and turned away from the window.

Shangguan Qian's expression froze, time flew by so quickly, it was almost time for the hunt.

However, this year's hunt should be very exciting.

"Princess, are you going to let Shen Ruqi off just like that?"

If these words came out of the red tassel's mouth, perhaps she wouldn't be surprised, but it came out of Cui Zhu's mouth.

"You also have objections towards Shen Ruoqi?"

"I just feel that since I can't use those people, then I'll just destroy them. Why should I leave those people in danger?" Cui Zhu said word by word.

Shangguan Qian Bei nodded, looking at her with admiration, "You're right, I will have to deal with Shen Ruoqi sooner or later, but now is not the time."

"This servant only wants the princess to not be surrounded by enemies. Other than that, I have no other thoughts." Cui Zhu lowered her head and said.

Shangguan Qian'er stared at her with his deep gaze, and only after a while did he smile and nod, "You're right."

Shen Ruoqi will have to deal with him sooner or later, but the most important thing now is tomorrow's matter, the Meet, Li Qingying …

When she thought about how Li Qingying had even chosen a horse for her, she felt touched.

Compared to those calm and scheming people, Li Qingying was a pure person.

This was because Li Qing Ying was even more real than them.

Shen Ruqi angrily ran back to the remote area, her eyes filled with disbelief. She had clearly seen a man go in, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye?

Besides, she had touched it. There was no one in the barrel, and there was no place to hide. Where could a man hide?

"Ruqi, how is it? Is the Third Prince very angry? " Shen mama asked curiously.

Shen Ruqi said rather irritably, "What? By the time we enter, that person has already disappeared, and we don't even know where he went!"

"What?" How is that possible? Did the Third Prince not see anything? " Shen mama wore a surprised expression as well, her expression somewhat ugly.

Now, their situation was even more awkward. In the past, they could have Shangguan Qian's support, but now they had not only offended Shangguan Qian, Li Fengyi would no longer trust them.

Furthermore, Li Fengyi no longer treated Ruoqi as before, where should they go now?

"Mother, what should we do in the future? We have angered Shangguan Qian, and after a while the doctor will examine our bodies." If my body is discovered, wouldn't I have been exposed? " Shen Ruqi said anxiously.

She didn't want anyone to discover her. She originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to get rid of this so-called 'child', but now that the Third Prince didn't treat her like before, she was truly afraid.

If this' child 'disappeared, the Third Prince would no longer care about her. What would he do then?

At the end of the day, people's greed was endless. She didn't want to be discovered that she wasn't pregnant, and even more so, she didn't want to lose the favor of Li Fengyi.

"There's no choice, I can only apologize to Shen Ruoqi, but it's hard to say if she will accept it or not." Shen mama sighed and said.

In the afternoon, the weather was still hot. Shangguan Qian did not sleep at noon, so he did not have much energy for the whole afternoon.

"Princess, Shen Ruoqi is here to seek an audience." Hong Ying pouted, obviously she had a big problem with Shen Ruoqi.

Shangguan Qian caressed his cheek lazily, saying faintly: "Let her in."

Before she could even enter, she heard a burst of sobbing. Shen Ruqi walked in while crying and plopped down on her knees in front of her.

"Princess, if Qi is mistaken, please forgive me."

Shangguan Qian'er raised his brow, the corners of his lips curling up. It had only been a short while since she had caused such a ruckus in the room, and he had already come to plead for mercy?

It had to be said that this woman was truly shameless.

"Oh? What's wrong with you? There's nothing wrong with seeing a man enter my room and report this to the Third Prince. " Shangguan Qian said lazily, but his eyes were fierce.

Shen Ruoqi tugged at her clothes, her snot flowing as she cried, "Princess, Ruoqi knows her wrongs. Ruoqi won't dare to do that again, I beg Princess, please forgive Ruoqi."

After crying for a while, Shangguan Qian gently brushed her hand away and yawned, then analyzed in a friendly tone, "If Qi came to find me so quickly, I'm afraid he has some other motive, right?"

"No, Ruoqi definitely didn't …"

"Really? Heh ~ "Shangguan Qian sneered coldly, his tone becoming colder," I suddenly remembered that in a few days it will be the imperial concubine who will ask the doctor to examine your body. It's time for my physical body to show itself. No wonder … "

"Princess, Ruoqi truly knows her wrongs, it has nothing to do with anything else." Shen Ruqi looked at her sincerely, her sincere appearance seemed to be real.

She was really a woman who knew how to act. Shangguan Qian looked at her lazily, his voice light, "If you can get me anything you want, just kneel down and beg me. If you can't use me, just stab me in the back.

Shen Ruqi's expression froze, she understood that Shangguan Qian did not intend to help her, and an angry look appeared on her face.

"Shangguan Qian, you really won't help me?"

As he said that, he stood up and took a pair of scissors, pointing it at his own stomach, smiling coldly, "Shangguan Qian, even if I die, I will drag you down with me!"
