C13 A debt of gratitude is difficult to repay

Tonight's moon was especially bright, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost. A gentle breeze brushed against his cheeks, causing his hair to float along with it. Shangguan Qian stood by the river with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Ghost, ghost!"

Panicking sounds came out, Cui Yan's eyes widened, and when he saw Cui Zhu beside him, his face suddenly became extremely pale, and then he looked at Shangguan Qian who was standing by the side of the river, his face instantly becoming white.

"I'm dead?"

Cui Zhu frowned, then forcefully pulled Cui Yan up, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Big Sister Cuizhu, there was a ghost here just now ?"

"Cui Yan, are you kidding me?" Shangguan Qian turned around, and his pair of black eyes were filled with indifference. He glanced at her for a moment, and continued, "I've seen everything you've done just now."

Cui Yan was startled, the panic on his face immediately disappeared, his entire body could not help but tremble, and he muttered: "Princess, I..."

"Cui Yan, I can't keep you. There's some silver here, go!"

Cui Yan stared at Shangguan Qian's back figure blankly, he slowly stood up, then looked at Cui Zhu, his eyes were filled with tears, and said resentfully: "Cui Zhu, I hate you, why are you acting so arrogantly? Why should anyone listen to you? We are obviously the princess' personal palace maid, but I do not have any status at all! "

"Cui Yan, I did not expect you to think this way." Cui Zhu felt her heart ache as she looked at Shangguan Qian. "Princess, please keep her, just pretend this never happened."

"I don't need your pity. I wish you could die quickly. You're too outstanding, too understanding, and too envious. I've always thought that if this world didn't have you, it would be too good." Cui Yan's tears flowed as he picked up the silver that Shangguan Qian threw on the ground, staring at Cui Zhu hatefully.

"I've always treated you as sisters."

"You put me under too much pressure." Cui Yan bit his lips, glanced at Shangguan Qian, and quickly ran deeper into the forest. Cui Zhu chased after him for a few steps before stopping to look at Shangguan Qian, who was standing far away.

"Princess, Cui Yan, she..."

"Her mind isn't right. I can't let her stay. Let's go."

The two of them turned around, just in time to see a group of people walking over with torches in hand. The one leading them was Bai Zimu and the one beside him was shockingly the mother and daughter of Shen mama.

Shangguan Qian gave a deep glance at Bai Zimu. He never thought that he would return so quickly, and in a short fifteen minutes, he actually rushed back as well.

"The princess is here. Tell your brother that there is no need to continue searching." Bai Zimu shouted, and then walked to Shangguan Qian's side, "Princess, it's already so late, what are you doing here?"

"The weather was hot and stuffy, and I couldn't sleep, so I came out for a walk. I didn't expect to see the mother and daughter of the Shen mama running out from here in a panic, so I walked to the river bank. I didn't expect to see my maid." Shangguan Qian said indifferently, as his eyes seemed to glance at Shen mama.

Shen mama's expression became a little unnatural, he forced out a laugh, "This servant and Ruqi can't sleep either, so they came out to take a walk."

"Is that so?" Shangguan Qian raised his eyebrows, a trace of ridicule could be seen in his eyes. He walked in front of Shen mama and patted off the dust on her body, then smiled and said, "Then when I came, why were you guys shouting about ghosts?"

Shen mama looked at her deeply, "It was quiet in the middle of the night, but I suddenly heard some other sound, and it was very scary. Just now, I was scared stiff, and my calves are still trembling."

"That's right, but I didn't expect it to be Sister Qian who was pretending to be a ghost." Shen Ruoqi replied from the side.

Shangguan Qian's pupils contracted, he raised his hand and slapped Shen Ruoqi. His eyes were serene and deep, filled with ruthlessness and he pursed his lips even tighter, as though he was looking at his enemy.

This slap was too sudden. Everyone was stunned and didn't know why she suddenly made a move.

"Slut!" How could you so easily call out my name? Remember your identity! "

"Shallow ?" Shen Ruoqi's eyes instantly reddened, and called her with a bit of a fawning tone. However, he didn't expect her to raise his head and slap her once again.

In an instant, her entire face burned with pain, and her tears fell from her eyes in grievance.

"How arrogant!"

Shangguan Qian fiercely glared at her, and turned to leave. Cui Zhu unhesitatingly looked in the direction Cui Yan had left, sighed, and chased after him.

Returning to the carriage, there was still a strange fragrance lingering in the carriage, while Hong Ying was sleeping soundly, with no signs of waking up.

Shangguan Qian opened the carriage's curtain and switched it with a cold breeze, dispersing the smell of the knockout drugs, and sat next to Cui Zhu.

"Princess, why didn't you leave any face for Shen Ruoqi just now?" Cui Zhu sat on the side, placed the plate of snacks on the table, poured another cup of tea, and asked.

"She always wants to know who is the master and who is the servant. How can I let her be a hero?"

Shangguan Qian seemed to be a little tired, his eyes were squinted as he laid down on the ground. Although his tone was very light, it carried a sense of maturity.

There was astonishment on Cui Zhu's face as she opened her mouth in disbelief, "The princess has changed a lot in the past few days, it makes it hard for Cui Zhu to believe."

"How's it going?"

"I'm mature, my mind is also ?" Cui Zhu paused for a moment and did not continue. She was a maid. How could she say that the princess had a pure mind before?

Shangguan Qian laughed coldly, his voice filled with coldness, "People must learn to grow up."

It was bright, Shen Ruoqi had long since come to her side to serve, his low eyebrows were pleasing to the ears, and he had become more obedient.

"Where did Cui Yan run off to? I haven't seen her since early in the morning. " Hong Ying muttered, he did not notice that the people beside him had changed their expressions.

"Don't bring up Cui Yan again." Cui Zhu looked at her and whispered.

Although Hong Ying did not know the inner workings of the matter, he was clever enough to not mention Cui Yan again. The group of them continued on their way, and they got closer and closer to great Yan.

However, the closer she got, the sadder her heart became. She couldn't help but think of the entire four years she had spent here, and her hatred continued to grow.

"Princess, why haven't you rested yet?"

Inside the inn, Cui Zhu walked in with a cup of hot tea. Her eyes were filled with surprise as she had reached the border of the great Yan and believed that she would be able to enter by noon tomorrow. He had just entered the great Yan, but why didn't Shangguan Qian look so happy?

The matter of her and the Third Prince being in love had been spreading like wildfire, to the point of even becoming a legend. Originally, Qing Zhu thought she would be very happy, but she sensed that Shangguan Qian's expression was very bitter, not happy at all.

"I can't sleep."

"Are you thinking about getting married?" Greenwood handed her the tea.

Shangguan Qian's face was filled with grief as he said softly, "I just miss royal father a bit."

Cui Zhu looked at her, not speaking. Instead, she walked in front of the table and lit the candle wick. At this moment, a delicate fragrance wafted through the air.

Caution flashed across Shangguan Qian's eyes. He suddenly stood up, picked up the pillow and placed it on the bed. The scissors was about to reach great Yan, would there be a sudden change?

The window opened and a black figure rushed in. His speed was very fast and he directly jumped beside the bed. He grabbed the scissors in her hand.

"You can use this to hurt me?"

Only now did Shangguan Qian recognize that it was Nightingale. After he let out a breath of relief, his heart suddenly flashed with vigilance, as the Young Master, why did this Nightingale follow her team all the way?

What was his purpose?

Nightingale sat down on the edge of the bed and looked around, laughing, "So this is what a woman's room is like, third imperial concubine."

His voice was full of mockery, and he was sitting casually on the bed. His actions were as if he had become a prodigal son.

"Since you know this is your room, why did you barge in?" It's just a wolf! "

"I ?" Wolf? "Alright, since she's the third imperial concubine after all, I've struck the jackpot." Nightingale giggled as she looked at her, and then she deliberately stood up and walked towards her.

Shangguan Qian's expression changed, his face became gloomy, what is this guy trying to do?

With one hand on the bed curtain, he observed Shangguan Qian's calm face up close. He was a little puzzled in his heart, if it was an ordinary woman, she would have already screamed, right? But she didn't seem to care.

"Do you think anyone would believe it if word spread that the third imperial concubine was involved with another man before she married him?" He stared at her closely with a playful smile at the corner of his mouth, his warm breath spraying onto her face. Other than a frown, she had no other expression.

"Are you any other man?"

Nightingale, who had choked on her words, was unable to speak. How could she accidentally let herself get wrapped up in it? With a dry cough, she began to create a kind of warmth. The atmosphere instantly vanished without a trace.

"So boring. We haven't seen each other for days, right? "You don't miss me at all?" Nightingale leaned against the bed. He stepped forward and stared at her sloppily.

"You think too much." Shangguan Qian said indifferently, he walked to Cui Zhu's side, and with some effort he lifted her up and placed her on the chair, "Why did you knock out my maid?"

"Aren't you afraid that she will misunderstand us? What do you think we have? "

"Is there anything between us?" Shangguan Qian sat on the chair and drank a mouthful of tea, "What did you come looking for me for?"

"I'm just informing you about the good news." Nightingale narrowed her eyes and looked at her, the silver white mask shining under the candlelight.

Shangguan Qian stared at him with suspicion, obviously not believing him. Good news? What good news could Nightingale bring her? Could it be that Li Fengyi made his move again?

"Why didn't you ask me what the good news is?"

"If you want me to know, I'll tell you." Shangguan Qian calmly looked at him. Even though he was curious about what the news was, he didn't take the initiative to ask.

If she asked, she would have to owe Nightingale a favor. She wasn't afraid of anything else, she was only afraid of owing someone a favor. A debt of gratitude was hard to repay.
