C7 Move a rock and smash your own foot
Although the situation had calmed down, Shangguan Qian was still shocked to the point that he was sweating profusely. Shen mama was actually so vicious, arranging so many assassins to deal with her!
It seemed that she really felt sorry for her if she didn't do anything!
The person behind her seemed to sense her anger. She lightly said, "Ride on your own."
His tone was unquestionable, and instead of asking, he used it with certainty. However, Shangguan Mo knew martial arts, so it would be very safe by his side.
Shangguan Qian also resolutely said, "No."
He hesitated for a moment, said nothing more, and rode slowly.
Riding a horse was very tiring, and in addition, the distance was not considered close, so Shangguan Qian almost couldn't hold it anymore, and directly leaned into Shangguan Mo's embrace without caring about it.
In any case, she was going to get married, and wasn't Shangguan Mo her Royal Brother? What was there to be afraid of between two people?
Along the way, the faint smell of gardenia wafted over. It smelled really good, to the point where she was about to fall asleep. In her muddled state, she arrived at the heavenly altar, the place of the sacrificial ceremony.
There were a lot of steps here, so she had to get dressed up and walk up one step at a time while holding the incense in her hand.
Shen mama held a bundle of incense in his hand and gave it to her. "Princess, be careful not to let the incense go out, you must quickly insert it into the incense burner on top of the Heaven Altar."
Shangguan Qian accepted the incense coldly, and without hesitation, walked towards the Heaven Altar. In her previous life, she was extremely excited about going to the Altar of Heavens, filled with the yearning for love.
In this life, her emotions were very complicated, but there was no doubt that her heart was filled with hatred.
Every step he took was arduous, and his face was covered in sweat.
Behind her, suddenly came the sound of light footsteps. She turned her head in surprise, with Shangguan Mo following behind her at a steady pace, with a particularly calm and emotionless expression on his face.
"How could you ?"
Why would Shangguan Mo accompany her to the altar? Don't you hate her?
"As the Royal Brother, I should protect my royal sister."
This seemingly formal explanation allowed Shangguan Qian to finally understand the situation. Wasn't this also considered a plan to curry favor with the royal father? Shangguan Mo was not even born from the Empress Mother, so he did not attach much importance to him.
Even if there was only one prince, he might not be able to successfully ascend to the throne, because he did not have the qualifications.
On the other hand, to curry favor with her and have the royal father set his sights on him, could not help but be a good plan.
The first time they saw him, they thought he was someone who would be carefree and not care about his own rights, but now it seemed that he had hidden it too deeply.
He ignored him and walked towards the altar. The incense had already reached the middle of the altar, and there seemed to be a different scent in the air.
This smell ?
It was actually like gunpowder!
By the time she reacted, the incense in her hands had already begun to explode. Crackling sounds could be heard, and she screamed out in fear. Her footsteps were in complete disarray. The moment she threw the incense, she fell down.
She thought that she would definitely fall to the ground half dead, but she was stopped by someone else, allowing her to stabilize her body.
Shangguan Mo remained calm, as if nothing had happened just now. He calmly lit the incense he had prepared long ago and passed it to her.
"There's no problem with that."
Shangguan Qian's face was ashen, he could almost be sure that he knew something. Combined with the calmness of an assassin, and the fragrance he had long been prepared for, it was almost certain that he knew everything!
"I won't thank you!"
Shangguan Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he did not care at all, "Just a few steps away."
She bit her lips, steadied herself, and placed the incense in the incense burner. She turned to look at Shangguan Mo, but he had already walked back calmly!
After descending from the Sky Tower, Cui Zhu walked over with concern, "Princess, what happened just now?"
Shangguan Qian glared at Shen mama fiercely, acting as if he did not care, "Nothing."
Shen mama secretly glanced at him, his eyes filled with unwillingness, but quickly concealed his expression.
"Princess, it is unlucky for you to throw away the incense."
"If one is sincere, it is natural to change the rules." Shangguan Qian glanced at her coldly, "What's more, the ceremony has been going on nonstop, and before Empress Mother left, he said that he wanted me to listen to all of Shen mama, but what did Shen mama do for me?"
"It is this old servant's fault. This old servant did not check it properly. After returning to the palace, I will certainly carefully search for it. I won't let go of any servant who recklessly attacked the princess!"
"Shen mama needs to be carefully examined. I want to let those people know what it means to lift a rock and smash their own feet!"
Shen mama's face paled, but he quickly covered it up.
"Cui Zhu, how are your injuries?"
"It's just a flesh wound, no problem."
Shangguan Qian nodded, her gaze becoming increasingly cold. She had to make Shen mama regret everything he had done today!
"Princess, First Prince told you to sit in this carriage. He said that nothing would happen on the way back, please be at ease."
Shangguan Qian looked at the carriage with an indifferent expression and nodded, "Okay."
As expected, it was just as Shangguan Mo had said on the way back. The journey was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened.
It was only a few days away from the wedding, so Shangguan Qian was naturally by the empress's side. The empress's chambers were very luxurious, so she laid on the soft couch and pouted.
"Empress Mother, Qian Er can't bear to part with you, I really don't want to get married!"
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? The overall situation has already been set, don't think about not marrying anymore. You have always been willful since young, so the royal father has tolerated you a lot when it comes to marriage, don't think about it anymore. " The Queen pinched a piece of preserves and stuffed it into her mouth.
"The princess has grown up, and now she knows to be reluctant to part with the Empress Dowager." Shen mama, who was guarding at the side, covered his mouth and laughed.
When Shangguan Qian saw her hypocritical look, his face revealed a trace of ridicule. His flattery was loud, no wonder the Empress Mother trusted her so much.
However, he did not know that this woman had a venomous heart and was scheming in every direction.
"Yes, Qian Er has grown up." "Empress Dowager looked at Shangguan Qian with gratitude," Shen mama, when you reach great Yan, you must take care of Qian Er.
"Of course."
Shangguan Qian yawned, and looked at Shen mama coldly, pretending not to care, and asked: "Empress Mother, I heard that you always throw away your jewelry in your chambers? But who did it? "
"Not yet, but the most hateful thing is that the Night Pearl that your royal father gave me has also disappeared!" The Empress Dowager said with a troubled face, "That Night Pearl is of extraordinary value, it is really too daring."
"I heard that someone saw light in the bamboo forest in the back garden. Maybe it was from the Night Pearls."
Shangguan Qian said while smiling, and the corner of his eyes swept across Shen mama, and indeed he saw her expression freeze for a moment, and became a little unnatural.
"Empress, I've heard that the bamboo forest isn't very clean. Perhaps someone saw something that they shouldn't have seen?" Shen mama opened his mouth at the right time.
The empress's expression changed as she shook her head. "Forget it. If it's lost, so be it."
Shangguan Qian looked at Shen mama lazily with a smile on his face. The fish had already taken the bait, and was waiting to be caught.
The moonlight was dark and the wind was blowing high. A figure quickly ran toward the bamboo forest from the fake mountain. After running for a while, she did not forget to look around in every direction. After confirming that no one was around, she continued to walk deeper.
The figure crouched in the bamboo forest, listening to the sounds coming from all around, digging the ground. Soon, a bright light flashed and then disappeared.
Just as the figure ran back, a group of guards rushed out and caught her.
The empress's bedroom was brightly lit, a hymen was pressed down on her while crying and screaming, and in her arms was surprisingly the Night Pearl.
"Unjustly accused? Are you innocent? The Luminous Pearls have all been found in your bosom, and so many eyes have seen you digging in the bamboo forest. The Shen mama asked fiercely as he kicked on his chest.
hymen fell to the ground after being kicked, fiercely coughing, unable to say anything, his eyes staring at Shen mama with hidden bitterness.
"Shen mama, I'll leave it to you." The empress spoke blandly and entered her chamber.
Shen mama dragged hymen in front of him and said in a deep voice, "The stolen goods are not taken away, what other excuses do you have!"
"It was obviously ?"
"Clap, clap, clap ~ ~ ~"
Shen mama pulled at her collar from both sides, his tone filled with ruthlessness. "Still trying to argue? I told you to quibble! "
hymen wailed as he was beaten, his face instantly swelling up. Blood flowed out of his mouth and he was completely unable to say a word.
Shangguan Qian who was hidden in the dark frowned his brows as he watched this scene, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this old cunning fox was truly cautious, he did not go, and instead divulged the news to the person beside him, making this hymen his scapegoat.
In the end, she had been in the palace for so many years, she definitely could not imagine how strong her connections would be. Although she could not catch Shen mama, she did not feel depressed at all.
After all, they still had a lot of time. There would be more opportunities in the future.
"Eat things that are inside and outside, see if I don't skin you!"
's brows knitted together as he turned around and could not bear to watch this scene unfold.
However, she did not feel that the hymen was pitiful.
He slowly walked forward and was stunned to discover that there was a figure at the fake mountain. He didn't seem to want to avoid her and instead coldly stared at her.
Shangguan Qian laughed in ridicule, and walked over in large strides, his gaze sizing up Shangguan Mo's body.
"What is it? Your hypocrisy has come out again? I can't stand watching you save that hymen, can I? "
Shangguan Mo lowered his gaze, his eyes reflecting a cold glint, and mockingly laughed, "A hypocritical act is always better than a cruel one."
Was he scolding her for being cruel? Although she didn't know what had happened between her and Shangguan Mo, she was sure that their relationship wasn't as good as it seemed.
Shangguan Mo was good at scheming, and would of course follow her orders on the surface, pretending to be a good Royal Brother. However, he hated her behind her back.
"Cruel, at least it's true. Shangguan Mo, it must feel bad to pretend to be nice to me in front of royal father right?" Shangguan Qian laughed sarcastically and turned to leave.
