Goodbye, Your Majesty

Indeed, as Shangguan Qian had said, Yuan Mei was the only one who knew what was going on. Everyone's face instantly turned pale, and the surrounding people started to discuss among themselves. It was obvious that they didn't quite believe her words.

"Hmph, who knows if you're lying or not!" Yuan Mei. The person coldly snorted, his expression carrying a bit of contempt.

Shangguan Qian slowly took a sip of tea, then sneered coldly, "Yuan Mei. Man, you and I are already three years old. Do you think I would lie to you about something like this? If you don't believe me, you can ask the empress. "

"I was just about to ask the empress why all the concubines in the empress dowager's palace act so domineering."

"You …" Yuan Mei. Her face was pale from the crowd, but the empress was especially beautiful. Could a person afford to offend him?

"Yuan Mei. Is there anything else a person needs to ask? " Shangguan Qian asked with a smile.

Gritting her teeth, she glared angrily at Shangguan Qian for a long while before finally walking away.

"Heh, you really do have some skill." Sen Ya couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Deal with evil." "People naturally have ways of dealing with them. Sometimes, there's no need to argue with them." Shangguan Qian'er smiled faintly, not taking what had just happened seriously.

There were many strange people in the palace, so it was normal for her to occasionally run into one or two, so she really didn't need to be too serious.

Sen Ya watched the scene calmly. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"Eighth Prince? Why did he come to see us? "

Hearing Sen Ya's words, Shangguan Qian's expression first froze for a moment, then he slowly lifted his head. Indeed, he saw the eighth prince standing not too far away.

Li Qingying was wearing a blue robe, his hair was tied up high and his face was tense. He seemed to be especially serious.

Shangguan Qian frowned, thinking of how Li Qingying had lost control of himself, he couldn't help but disappear immediately, lest she be seen by him.

However, the more he was afraid of something, the more Li Qingying seemed to see them coming and walked over with large strides.

Sen Ya pouted and muttered, "What did he come here for?"

The surrounding Imperial Concubines were all looking at them. If Li Qingying did something excessive, wouldn't it mean that he would spread rumors and gossip?

Shangguan Qian really did not want to be talked about again, especially with Li Qing Ying.

"What are you doing here?" Sen Ya grumbled in displeasure, but there was a hint of disgust on her face.

"None of your business!" Li Qingying looked past her and landed his gaze on Shangguan Qian's face, but he said nothing and sat down two seats away from Shangguan Qian.

Shangguan Qian Bei heaved a sigh of relief. Since Li Qingying didn't want to provoke her, he wouldn't be caught red-handed.

After watching the show, a few of her concubines had left, but Sen Ya had not fully enjoyed herself yet, so Shangguan Qian simply stayed with him.

Li Qingying, who was at the side, had a calm expression. Not only didhe not speak, she had a calm expression.

If she hadn't seen Li Qing Ying that day, she would have suspected whether this person in front of her was Li Qing Ying or not.

He yawned and felt a bit tired. Li Qing Ying's voice came from the side.

"Qian'Er."

Her expression changed as she turned to look at him with a deep look in her eyes, "Li Qingying, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry, I'll call you by your name. Don't be nervous." Li Qing Ying's eyes were fixed in front of him, and he didn't even turn his neck.

"Right." Shangguan Qian had a strange look on his face, not knowing what he meant. He was silent, but he called her by name?

After a while, Li Qing Ying sighed and said in a low voice, "Qian'Er, don't leave the house if you have nothing to do for the next few days."

"Why?"

"Because..." Li Qing Ying's voice carried a hint of hesitation, "Anyway, don't leave the mansion."

Shangguan Qian'er pursed his lips, not speaking, guessing at the meaning behind his words.

When Li Qingying finished speaking, he stood up and turned to look at her, his eyes filled with suppressed love.

With a sigh, he left in large strides.

"Qian'Er, what did this guy just say?" Sen Ya curiously asked. Although she was sitting closer to Shangguan Qian, she couldn't clearly hear what Li Qing Ying had said.

Shangguan Qian's expression was grave, he shook his head, unwilling to speak.

After watching two scenes play out, an afternoon had passed. Shangguan Qian was worried about Ouyang Jin, but he couldn't shake off Sen Ya.

"Qian'Er, it's so boring. Where are we going to play?"

"Play?" Shangguan Qian Qian raised his brow, she really did not know where this was fun, "I don't know."

"You are truly boring. You might as well be Li Fengyi." Sen Ya said in a muffled voice.

At this moment, a young eunuch walked up to them. "Princess, the empress invited you over."

"Queen Mother? "What is it?" Shangguan Qian asked in surprise.

The eunuch lowered his head, his face expressionless. "The empress didn't say anything. She only said that she would ask you to come over."

"Alright." Shangguan Qian agreed readily.

The young eunuch raised his head and cast a deep look at Sen Ya, "The Empress has invited only Shangguan Qian and the other princess, Princess Sen Ya, to come over and wait patiently."

"Only let Qian'Er pass? Why didn't you call me? " Sen Ya asked in dissatisfaction.

"This servant doesn't know." The eunuch lowered his head once more, not willing to speak any further.

Shangguan Qian had sensed something was amiss, but he did not expose his. He turned to look at Sen Ya, walking over and whispering into her ear.

Sen Ya's face was filled with astonishment. She then nodded.

"Let's go."

The young eunuch nodded and turned around to lead the way.

Shangguan Qian took a long look at Sen Ya before leaving with the little eunuch.

The young eunuch walked faster and faster, but even Shangguan Qian could not keep up.

In addition, the place they were heading to became more and more remote. It looked extremely desolate.

A trace of vigilance appeared on Shangguan Qian'er's face, his hands clenched into fists as he surveyed his surroundings warily.

"Young eunuch, where are you taking me? Where's the empress waiting for me? " Shangguan Qian asked loudly.

Very few people passed by, no matter how loud her voice was, it was still somewhat hollow.

The young eunuch did not stop and said in a deep voice, "Just move forward a little bit more."

"In front? The front was so barren, how could the Queen possibly go? Besides, isn't the empress sick? " Shangguan Qian asked doubtfully, stopping in his tracks.

She slowly retreated to a rock garden, picked up a stone and looked at the eunuch in front of her with alert.

The eunuch sensed that she had stopped and also stopped. She turned her head and glanced at her before saying in a low voice, "Princess, please continue walking forward."

"Who's in front?" Her expression became serious as she asked in a low voice, "Who sent you?"

When the eunuch heard these words, his eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness, and he said in a deep voice, "Since you're not leaving, then let's settle this here."

The young eunuch smiled sinisterly, then picked up a dagger and walked towards her.

Shangguan Qian's expression became solemn. Compared to the stone, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Furthermore, this little eunuch knew martial arts, so wouldn't she die under his blade today?

Thinking of this, her expression turned serious, and she recalled Li Qingying's earlier orders.

Did he already know that someone was trying to kill her? But who was the Queen Mother directing?

Could it be the Queen?

As he thought of this, he sucked in a breath of cold air and stepped backwards.

The eunuch raised his blade, sneered, and waved it at her.

At this moment, an untimely voice sounded from the road.

"Did you really see her coming this way? The palaces here are all deserted, what is she doing here? "

"Your servant's judgement is absolutely correct. She really is a princess."

"Hmph, then let's go take a look. Since this place is desolate, let's teach her a lesson!"

The two female voices suddenly sounded out, and because of the voices, the young eunuch was momentarily flustered, giving Shangguan Qian the chance to dodge.

She dodged to the side, but even so, the knife that was rushing towards her face, though still stopping, still cut her arm.

A stabbing pain shot through every nerve in her body.

Leaning on the fake mountain, she fiercely threw the stone in her hand towards the young eunuch.

She had been struck squarely in the face. The eunuch staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Right at this moment, two figures appeared before the crowd. Following that, a sharp scream was heard.

Shangguan Qian Qian looked at the screaming Yuan Mei. This person frowned. Was he going to die together with her today?

As expected, the young eunuch's expression changed due to her cries, and he did not bother with Shangguan Qian as he quickly strode towards Yuan Mei. He ran and slashed her neck with a knife.

The scream turned into a mute, Yuan Mei. With widened eyes and hands on his neck, blood kept flowing out from his mouth.

The young palace maid behind him shouted loudly, turned around, and ran away.

The young eunuch did not care that much. He turned around and waved his blade at Shangguan Qian, stabbing at her face.

Shangguan Qian's eyes widened, and he didn't even have the strength to scream. Right at this moment, a figure appeared and kicked the young eunuch in the chest.

This kick was extremely powerful, and the young eunuch immediately fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard. A group of people had arrived.

Seeing that someone had arrived, the young eunuch didn't bother to fight anymore and jumped onto the fake mountain.

And the moment he jumped onto the fake mountain, his figure was like a shadow, and his speed was even faster than him.

With another kick, the eunuch spat out another mouthful of blood. It was obvious that he was severely injured and could not move a single inch.

Shangguan Qian, who had been standing at the side, was already scared silly. As he inhaled the fragrance of the cooked food, his eyes were actually a little moist.

However, he didn't know that the refreshing fragrance had brought him a sense of security.

An inexplicable sense of security spontaneously arose, causing her to feel somewhat surprised. Just where did this sense of security come from?

Ouyang Jin landed on the ground. His white hair was extremely conspicuous, but his face was still pale. It seemed that his illness wasn't completely cured.

"Ouyang Jin …"

"I'm injured, don't speak." He lowered his voice and poked a few acupoints on her body. "Who did you offend this time?"

When Shangguan Qian heard this, he felt a little wronged, "How could I have provoked anyone? They are the ones who want to kill me."

Just at this moment, a group of people finally appeared. The one leading them was Li Qingying.

When he saw Ouyang Jin standing beside Shangguan Qian, his expression suddenly turned ugly.

On the other hand, Sen Ya looked at the now dead Yuan Mei in shock. People asked in confusion, "It's Yuan Mei. Someone wants to kill you? "

"No." Shangguan Qian sighed lightly, looking at Yuan Mei who was completely dead. The corner of his mouth twitched. He had to admit, Yuan Mei was the lucky one. He suddenly appeared.

Otherwise it might have been her.

"Someone, find a doctor!" Li Qingying said in a low voice as he took a step forward, glaring hatefully at Ouyang Jin before he turned to look at Shangguan Qian with concern.

"What's going on?"

"I wonder who sent this young eunuch to kill me." Shangguan Qian'er said coldly, but his tone was laced with a hint of complaint.

Wasn't it all because of Li Qingying? If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have been hunted down like this, right?

"Does your injury hurt?" Li Qing Ying wanted to go up and check, but she seemed to have thought of something and didn't go up.
