Chapter 24
"Hehe, if the third prince knows, he must be very happy."

Shangguan Xi always had a smile on her face, but what she said was serious. Since Shangguan Xueqi chose the fourth prince born to the empress, if she had another heart in private, what would the consequences be?
Shangguan Xueqi's complexion changed a few times, "Even if you gossip, who will believe you, I won't waste time with you, Xixia, let's go!"

Of course she was also afraid of being hit by the third prince, so she wisely stopped arguing with Shangguan Xi and led Xixia away.

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving in a hurry, Shangguan Xi said leisurely: "Third Prince, it's time to come out."

"Thank you, Miss San, for a good show." Pei Yan who walked out of the ear room was smiling all over his face, but his unruly features were profound.

The princes of the Pei family are all outstanding in appearance, and they all have their own characteristics.The person in front of him has soft skin and strong skin, with a wild but restrained expression, one can tell at a glance that he is a battle-tested general.

Shangguan Xi understands that this person should be handled with care.

"Third Prince, you're welcome. For a woman as talented and beautiful as Eldest Sister, the Third Prince will naturally pursue her with all her strength. Let the Third Prince know Eldest Sister's intentions, just to facilitate a good deed."

Shangguan Xi smiled, without any panic or fear in his expression.

Pei Yan's eyes deepened, and he laughed wildly, "How do you know that this prince is interested in sister Ling, not you? Otherwise, Miss San thinks what is the matter of this prince asking you to come?"

"Hehe, Xi is of course self-aware, the third prince should not be joking. Let's get down to business this time. If Xi knows, I will tell you everything. There is a back and forth, but Xi also has something to tell the third prince."

"Since the third lady is so straightforward, I'll get straight to the point." Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, and stopped beating around the bush. He really appreciated such a straight-forward temperament.

"I want to know what Miss San did in Black Wind Village half a month ago, or what she saw someone do."

It turned out that it was because of what happened on the day of her rebirth. Shangguan Xi quickly recalled and changed her mind. After thinking about it for a while, she knew that Pei Yu had something to do with the Heifengzhai incident.

Pretending to be struggling to remember, Shangguanxi slowly recalled: "I was captured and knocked unconscious by the bandits in Heifengzhai that day. When I woke up, I saw that Heifengzhai had been destroyed. I only had time I saw two people..."

"Which two people? What do they look like?" Pei Yan took a step forward eagerly, and his voice was agitated with anger.

"Of course I don't know who they are, but they should be a brother and sister with very strong martial arts."

A pair of brothers and sisters, with high martial arts skills...

Of course Pei Yan immediately thought of Pei Yu's two attendants.Shangguanxi laughed secretly in her heart, she didn't say anything, she just pointed him in a direction, so she could find something for that guy Pei Yu to do, so that he wouldn't always pester her like that.

"Thank you, Miss San, for telling me. I wonder if Miss San has anything to say?"

Pei Yan is a person who can't show his emotions, but after a while, he put away the contemplation on his face and asked with a smile.

Shangguanxi's face was serious, "I like to be direct, the third prince should know that in Shangguan's mansion, my mother and daughter, the third wife and I, have a low status and let others bully you. But after today, the third prince, believe it or not, I can do my best to stabilize the situation." Family status, holding power and wealth?"

"Miss San is so smart and talented, the prince will naturally believe it."

Shangguan Xi's eyes flashed with flames, and he continued: "The prince of this dynasty is incompetent, and the concubine of the court controls the government. This is a fact that everyone knows. It is a bold statement, but the third prince also has a measure in his heart." , you have the ability to govern the world, the crown prince should be in the palm of your hand, but money is the most important backup force, I wonder if the third prince dares to bet on my ability?"

Shangguanxi's voice faltered and his words were forceful, which made Pei Yan, who had already experienced fighting on the battlefield, feel the majesty of his blood-stained clothes. A fiery light gradually appeared in his eyes, and he stared closely at Shangguanxi. In the end, he Suddenly raised his head and laughed a few times, "Okay, have courage!"

"For the sake of your courage, this prince accepts this bet!"

A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Shangguan Xi hurriedly said: "Third Prince, don't fool me. If the Third Prince's ability is limited by then, he will miss my alliance."

Pei Yan's eyes were blazing, and there was a mockery in his eyes, "Of course this prince can't misjudge someone, but you still have the guts to doubt this prince's ability, what a bold tone!"

Shangguan Xi looked directly at Pei Yan without dodging, and his sharpness was not inferior to that of Pei Yan who had been planning for many years, "Okay, let's talk about it after Xi has the power and wealth in his hands. It is fair to the third prince. Now It's getting late, I'm going back home first, and I'm leaving."

Shangguanxi turned around quickly, leaving Pei Yan with a chic back. Pei Yan put away his expression of wanting to speak, and looked at the slender back with deep eyes. It's a pity that such a woman is a concubine, otherwise how could she be buried? up to this point.He had a faint feeling in his heart that this woman would surprise him.

Shangguan Xi is naturally satisfied with the completion of a move of chess. The alliance has been made so smoothly, so naturally it depends on the person.The second prince and the fourth prince are also capable people, but the fourth prince is the queen's son, she will not choose, the second prince hides too deeply, she dare not take risks.In comparison, there is only the third prince who holds the military power, with obvious ambitions, so he is naturally unwilling to be subordinated to others.As long as there is an alliance, the palace, she can naturally reach in.

Walking to an empty place, Shangguan Xi frowned, and suddenly said: "Come out, I know you have been following me."

After a while, there was indeed a gust of wind, and a purple figure appeared in front of his eyes. It was Shen Jun who had saved Shangguan Xi just now.

She wondered in her heart, obviously this woman has no martial arts at all, why is she aware of her existence?

"Master asked you to go and see him." Shen Jun suppressed the doubts in his heart and said coldly.

Shangguanxi stretched out his hand to stroke the broken hair, his movements were unintentionally charming, "It's funny, you are his subordinate, I am not, why should you listen to him!"

"Master told you to go, you must go!"

Shen Jun's face turned cold, and the unsheathed long sword swept out a gust of wind, but Shangguan Xi motioned for the jade pendant with one hand, "If you dare to step forward, I will destroy this jade pendant!"

Seeing Jun Shen's indifferent face, Shangguan Xi hooked the corner of his lips, took out a black porcelain bottle with the other hand, and poured it slowly on the ground. It smoked and turned black.

Shen Jun's complexion changed drastically, he pointed his long sword at her, and exclaimed, "Why do you have this poison?"

Shangguan Xi frowned slightly, how could she have it?Could it be that she has seen other people have such poison?This is the burning water that only people in the Fu Palace will dispense!
