Goodbye, Your Majesty - C185
“Wuwuwu …” If I told you to leave, then you left. I told you to stay, why did you secretly leave? ”
Shangguan Qian turned around helplessly, then looked at him with a smile rather than a reply.
“Qian’Er, I really miss you …”
Li Qingying pursed his lips, looking at Shangguan Qian with a wronged look on his face.
The corners of Shangguan Qian’s lips curled upwards as he thought to himself, “You’re really not feeling well if you don’t roast me over the fire, aren’t you?”
“Qian’Er, did you miss me?”
Shangguan Qian didn’t reply, instead looking at the stunned empress at the side. “Imperial Mother, this …”
“We should call in an imperial physician!”
She didn’t know any medical skills, so why did she have to come here? If a person insisted on playing the fool, she had no other choice but to force him to tell her the truth.
The truth should be impossible to accept.
“Shadow, speak nicely, or else mufei will go find the imperial physician.”
Li Qingying pursed her lips and finally shut them.
That works too!
Shangguan Qian looked at the Queen with incomparable reverence, hesitating on what to say and leave.
“Qian’Er, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, right? Let’s eat together.”
Shangguan Qian looked at the bright sun outside, it should be lunch.
The empress by her side sucked in a breath, but did not cry in the end.
Li Qing Ying, can you be any more shameless?
The empress pulled Shangguan Qian Qian’er to sit at the side and said, “Qian’er, Imperial Mother asks you to help him out, eat some more, Ying’er, he …”
“Qian’er understands.”
As he spoke, he received the jade hairpin from the palace maid and glanced at the dishes on the table. He then picked up some dishes that were nearby.
“Qian’Er, eat more green bamboo shoots, and this duck gizzard is also not bad …”
Li Qing Ying was very cordial. She didn’t care if it was too excessive, and kept piling dishes onto the plate in front of her.
Shangguan Qian looked at him, then looked at the plate in front of him, saying passively, “If you don’t want me to get angry, then feed me well.”
She had no way to continue. Whether it was in terms of passion or words, she could not accept them.
The Empress sighed but said nothing.
Li Qingying could only look at her with a wronged expression. After a long while, he finally lowered his head and started to eat.
Shangguan Qian’er rubbed his forehead, his rationality telling her that Li Qingying was definitely pretending. However, looking at him like this, she was still suspicious. How could he be pretending to be so realistic?
After dinner, Li Qingying took a nap, but this time, he insisted that Shangguan Qian stay.
Looking at the wide open door, then looking at Yishan beside her, Shangguan Qian still agreed. The empress seemed to be relieved, and she found an excuse to leave.
“Li Qingying, no matter what, you and I are both impossible. Can you just stop continuing?”
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Shangguan Qian still said softly, not a hint of emotion in his voice.
Li Qingying was startled, and his mouth flattened. Shangguan Qian glanced at him, and knew that this was the beginning of his crying.
“Don’t play dumb, it doesn’t look like it at all.”
“Qian’Er, why don’t you like Ying’er? No matter what you want, I can find her for you.”
Shangguan Qian was still stroking his forehead, seeing the suppressed smile on Yi Shan’s face, he said passively: “Yi Shan, explain it to him.”
Ish just rolled his eyes at her, but didn’t say anything.
“Qian’Er, Ying’er can do better than Third Bro.”
As he spoke, he grabbed her sleeve in grievance.
“Li Qing Ying, I want to know what happened to you on the battlefield.”
Shangguan Qian interrupted coldly, his expression stern.
“Ying’er doesn’t remember anything else. She just remembers that she lost a lot of blood. It hurts!”
Shangguan Qian Bei rolled his eyes and sighed. Since it had already come to this, she might as well not ask anymore.
“Then I’ll go back first. Shadow, rest well.”
It was rare for her to imitate his words, but Li Qingying refused to give up.
“Qian’Er, it seems like the one who sent out the troops wasn’t that great general. At that time, Ying’er fell from her horse, covered in blood and filled with great fear. However, someone saved Ying’er. It seems that the person who injured Ying’er isn’t going to kill her …”
Shangguan Qian’er could hear him talking to himself, but his heart turned cold. Now, she no longer thought that this Turkic War was just like how it seemed on the surface. It seemed like there was something more to it.
If he said that he would spare Li Qingying’s life, it should be because he made an agreement with that person, and it was definitely not something Li Fengyi could order his men to do. He wished that he could take Li Qingying’s life as soon as possible.
Could it be the Crown Prince?
However, it seemed like he had lost troops as well, and this move was simply too risky.
Before Shangguan Qian Xiang could finish his sentence, Li Qing Ying shouted again: “Qian’er, Ying’er has prepared a present for you!”
As he spoke, he took out a woolen glove from under the pillow.
“This is the best glove in Turkic region. It was made from a top-grade fire fox. Qian’Er, try it.”
As he said that, he smiled brightly and prepared to bring them on for Shangguan Qian.
Shangguan Qian avoided the danger though. Looking at the dazed Li Qingying, he sighed helplessly, “Li Qingying, you really will bring me trouble if you do this.”
Li Qing Ying immediately revealed an injured expression, “Ying’er only wants to give me a present!”
Shangguan Qian Qian knew that if she did not accept it, this Li Qing Ying would not let it go.
He took it over and thanked her, then handed it to her.
“Ying’er, take a rest. I’ll come see you another day.”
No matter if he was really dumb or just pretending to be, she couldn’t bear it any longer. In any case, she had already agreed to the empress’s request, so it was enough to just look at him.
“Qian’Er, you’re still coming back, right?”
This time, Li Qing Ying did not pester him, but asked with hope.
It won’t do us any good what I’m here for.
Even though he thought this, he still nodded on the surface.
“Qian’Er, wait for me. I will definitely become the strongest person to protect you when the time comes. I will treat you better than anyone else.”
As if she had made some sort of promise, Li Qing Ying spoke with a rare serious look to Shangguan Qian, a resolute look in her eyes.
Shangguan Qian was startled. In that case, was it a promise?
However, she didn’t have Li Qing Ying in her heart. They wouldn’t have a future.
“Ying’er, listen to me …”
“Qian’Er, you can go back now.”
Li Qingying lightly interrupted him and then covered his head with the blanket, looking like he was about to rest.
Shangguan Qian looked at the childish looking man for a while, before turning to leave helplessly, not noticing the deep love in the crystal clear eyes behind him.
Qian’Er, since you said we can’t do it, then what about you and third brother? If I could do better, would you be willing to give me a chance to look at me one more time?
When Shangguan Qian and the Empress parted ways, they walked towards the palace gates, thinking of what Li Qingying had said today, and a sudden sense of irritation rose in their hearts.
“Don’t think about it. He can do whatever he wants.”
Shangguan Qian nodded in agreement. Indeed, she did not have much to worry about anymore.
When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Li Fengyi waiting for him.
“Feng Yi, is something the matter?”
Seeing her return, Li Fengyi also let out a sigh of relief. “I heard that you entered the palace. Did you encounter any trouble?”
Shangguan Qian’er shook his head and poured a glass of water for him, “This time, I went to see the eighth prince together with mother. With mother here, the eighth prince didn’t say anything.”
Without waiting for Li Fengyi to ask anything, Shangguan Qian said worriedly, “Fengyi, you should stay in your own room, you need to recuperate.”
Li Fengyi could only smile, “It’s fine. But since you’re back, I will also go back. I need to prepare some things.”
Shangguan Qian’er nodded and sent him to the door, the smile on his face instantly vanishing as she watched his back disappear into the distance.
“When did the Third Prince arrive?”
The red tassel was startled for a moment before replying, “It shouldn’t be too long ago. An hour ago.”
“Is there anything strange about it?”
Strange place?
The red tassel shook its head, “Other than its complexion not looking too good, there’s nothing strange about it. Oh right, miss, I’ve seen how you usually practice writing.”
Shangguan Qian Shan gave a cold sneer and turned to enter the inner room, while Yishan also went back to rest.
In the evening, Shangguan Qian wanted to read a little more, but the candlelight flickered, and then his body lightened, falling into a familiar embrace.
“Why are you here?”
Initially, he thought that Ouyang Jin would be busy the next few days. He didn’t expect that he would be here tonight.
“Do you miss me?”
Shangguan Qian wanted to say no, but he was interrupted by the stubble on his face, and couldn’t help but ask worriedly, “Did you not get a good rest after so many days?”
Ouyang Jin’s heart warmed as he embraced her and said, “I didn’t see you, so I couldn’t rest well.”
“Bitch.”
Although he said this, his heart was still filled with uncontrollable joy.
“Your body …”
He had not paid much attention, and he had used something to cover the smell, but she could smell it.
“Are you hurt again?”
Although it was a question, Ouyang Jin’s answer was definitely unnecessary.
“Qian’Er, are you a dog?”
“If you want me to get angry, then continue changing the topic!”
Shangguan Qian’er said coldly, standing up to get the medicine box. As for Ouyang Jin, he was just rubbing his nose; this little Qian’Er was really not a cute girl.
“Where is it this time?”
He took the medicine box back and lit the candles in the room.
Ouyang Jin looked at the gentle and graceful figure under the candle flame, and couldn’t help but smile, “The superficial wound has already been treated.”
As he spoke, he took off his outer robes, revealing his bandaged waist.
Shangguan Qian put down the things in his hands, looking at him as he said passively: “Who hurt you?”
“Ink Dye.”
Ink dye? Shangguan Qian couldn’t help but furrow his brow, it was ink-stained again.
“How did you meet him?”
Logically speaking, Ouyang Jin should have been staying in the palace all this time, while Mo Yan, even though he had arrived in the capital, had no way to enter the palace. Even if he did enter the palace, how would he dare to brazenly fight with him?
“He wasn’t light either.”
Ouyang Jin said indifferently, while Shangguan Qian just rolled his eyes at him.
Who asked if he had won?
“Alright, I need to rest.”
As he said that, he grabbed Shangguan Qian and collapsed onto the bed. Go on, “No more talking, sleep. “Yes.”
Shangguan Qian Bei pursed his lips, obviously there was something he was hiding from him, but she did not want to ask why he was such a vile person.
However, his heart ached over his injuries, and he did not continue tormenting himself. He closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.
Ouyang Jin stared at the peaceful sleeping face, “Qian’er, don’t ask me too many questions. I can’t answer you right now, but I will always be the same towards you.”
Alas, Shangguan Qian was unable to hear these murmurs.
“Mistress, how could you be injured?”
The men in black looked at the bloodstained man and went forward to support him.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a superficial wound. We need to hurry back to the country of Dali.”
“But Mistress, do you need …”
“There’s no time. Hurry.”
Good for you, Ouyang Jin. I will remember this debt! The corner of his mouth curled up into a bloodthirsty smile, accentuating the enchanting bright red color of his peony.
