C8 Self-inflicted injuries

Time seemed to pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the wedding arrived. Shangguan Qian still did not seem happy or sad, as though the one who married was not her, and looked at the red wedding dress sent by Shen Ruoqi with an indifferent gaze.

The embroidery work was really good. It was extremely meticulous. She gently slid her hand across the bridal dress and felt a stabbing pain.

She calmly flipped her hand to take a look. Her middle finger had been pierced. The pain from earlier must have been caused by the needle. Thinking of this, the smile on her face deepened.

He thought that Shen Ruoqi had learnt his lesson and had never thought that he would put all his thought into getting married. Could it be that she was sure that once she left the palace, he would be at the mercy of the Shen mother and daughter s?

"Ruoqi, the embroidery of the wedding dress is very detailed. It looks like you've put in a lot of effort."

"Ruoqi is my younger sister, this is all I can do. I hope elder sister Qian likes it." Shen Ruoqi lowered his eyebrows and whispered in her ear, but he did not forget to get into a relationship with her.

What a deep sisterly love. What a pity, no matter how she felt disgusted, she pretended to be.

"It's just that this size... It doesn't seem to be mine. " Shangguan Qian frowned, and picked up the bridal dress, "You have lost a lot of weight."

"No way, I did it according to elder sister Qian's size." Shen Ruoqi's face changed as she anxiously tried to defend herself. She did not want anything to happen at this critical juncture, it was not easy to get the bridal dress embroidered, if she found trouble again, she would not be able to do it.

"This size seems to be yours. Try it on."

Shen Ruoqi's expression stiffened and he hurriedly rejected her, "No way, last time if Qi was a fool and caused some trouble, this time she won't be able to get married no matter what."

"What's there to be afraid of? I just want you to try it on for me." Shangguan Qian smiled as he draped the bridal dress over her, and unquestionably said, "Wear it!"

Shen Ruoqi inhaled a breath of cold air, his hands slightly trembled, but he did not dare disobey Shangguan Qian.

Originally, if Shangguan Qian found out about it, she would have used forgetting as a pretext. However, she never thought that Shangguan Qian actually wanted her to try it out.

Shen Ruoqi carefully put on the bridal robe, and forced out a smile: "Sister Qian, what do you think?"

Looking at Shen Ruoqi's stiff body, he did not dare to move recklessly. There was a mocking smile on her face. This was what you called getting what you deserved.

"Seems quite appropriate." She pretended not to care, and gently patted the place where her finger was just stabbed, and felt that she had touched a hard object, and with a swing, she had obviously stabbed Shen Ruoqi.

Shen Ruoqi let out a cry as tears welled up in her eyes, but she managed to hold them back.

Shangguan Qian carefully touched the bridal dress, she could conclude that there was more than one needle inside, and sure enough, she found another at the waist.

"The waist area is clearly thinner." Shangguan Qian casually pressed down again, causing Shen Ruoqi to scream as tears immediately flowed out.

Shangguan Qian acted like he was surprised and looked at her: "What happened to you? What are you crying for? "

"No ?" "It's fine." Shen Ruoqi quickly wiped away her tears and endured the pain.

She laughed in ridicule, if Shen Ruoqi did not hold back, how could he be injured by her needles? He would kill himself if he acted unjustly.

With a smile, he took out another needle from his waist and fiercely pressed it down. Shen Ruoqi immediately dodged in pain and looked at her in fear.

"Ruqi, what's wrong with you? Could it be that there's something hidden inside the wedding dress? "

Although it seemed to be a casual question, Shen Ruoqi was so scared that he started sweating. He promptly wiped away his tears, "No, I'm just thinking about how elder sister Qian is going to get married, and I feel reluctant to part with her. Plus, I'm going to a strange place. "Afraid."

"What's there to be reluctant about? Shen mama will follow me to great Yan, naturally, I won't abandon you." She smiled and pressed the needle again.

Shen Ruoqi's body... Her body trembled, and her delicate face turned pale from the pain.

"When I find a good home in great Yan, I will grant you my wish. I can't possibly stay by my side and wait upon me forever, right?" Shangguan Qian laughed, he raised the teacup and took a sip.

Shen Ruoqi's expression changed, and he hurriedly shook his head, "Ruqi is willing to stay by elder sister's side for her entire life."

Willing to stay by her side? I think he is willing to stay by Li Fengyi's side? With a mocking smile, he said indifferently, "I can't wear this wedding dress, so I'll give it to you. Embroidered by yourself, there's always some meaning to it."

Shen Ruoqi frowned, her expression was somewhat stiff. She had worked so hard to weave for an entire month, yet Shangguan Qian actually said that she did not want it?

She clenched her fists tightly. The humiliation and pain she had suffered today, she would pay them back double in the future!

"Alright, you can go and prepare. We'll set off tomorrow."

Shen Ruoqi was in so much pain that she could not speak, she could not even bend her waist, and stiffly took off her bridal dress, hugged, and retreated.

"It's a good thing that we prepared the graft in advance, otherwise we would have been delayed by Shen Ruoqi!" Hong Ying snorted, his voice was filled with dissatisfaction towards Shen Ruoqi.

On the other side, Cui Zhu seemed to have noticed something as she softly said, "What is inside the bridal robe?"

Shangguan Qian lifted his head, and gave a deep glance at Cui Zhu. She had always been intelligent, so how could she not have noticed what had happened just now? She opened her hand and showed her where the needle had been.

Cui Zhu had a look of understanding, but she did not say it out loud.

On the other hand, Shangguan Qian liked her more and more, like a smart girl.

The palace was filled with joy, everyone was busy with playing with the jade, Shen Ruoqi's body was extremely comfortable. He walked back to his residence stiffly. His body was covered in cold sweat.

"Why do you look so ugly?" Shen mama asked worriedly.

Shen Ruoqi was in so much pain that she couldn't say a word, she could only cry, causing the Shen mama to be in a daze while crying, she then asked, "Didn't you go to deliver the bridal dress to the princess? Why did you bring it back? "

"Needle ?"

She ? His body was stiff as he ripped off his clothes. Half of his needles were stuck in his waist, and even Shen mama, who was at the side, sucked in a breath of cold air.

"How did you do it?"

"Shangguan Qian..." Shen Ruoqi cried in pain and tightly held onto Shen mama's hand, "Mother, quickly help me pull out the needle, it's so painful that it's killing me."

"Damned Shangguan Qian! This is going too far! " Shen mama's expression was extremely ugly, he carefully pinched the needle and used all his strength to pull it out, and at the place where the needle was pierced, blood gushed out, causing Shen Ruoqi to cry even louder.

Shen mama pulled out the remaining two needles and wiped the blood that was gushing out with a handkerchief as he consoled, "Ruoxi, this mother will definitely help you get your revenge!"

Shen Ruoqi cried loudly and firmly held Shen mama's hand, nodding strongly.

On the other side, Shangguan Qian was currently nestling on the soft couch, reading a book. She was going to be married tomorrow, so she didn't feel nervous at all, and there wasn't even a hint of happiness on her face.

Cui Zhu and the others were constantly busy, repeatedly confirming the matters of the next day, only finishing in the evening.

"Princess, we're getting married tomorrow, why don't you feel a little nervous?" Hong Ying asked straightforwardly, "Do you not want Young Master?"

Shangguan Qian's face stiffened as a cold light flashed past his eyes, "I do, how could I not?"

Every night, she would wake up from her dreams with Li Fengyi in her dreams. She hated him so much that she hated him to the bones, she wanted to immediately appear in front of him and ruthlessly stab him a few times.

Cui Zhu saw that her expression was not good and pulled at Hong Ying's clothes, "Girl, you still have a lot of work to do, hurry up and come out."

After Hong Ying realized this, he followed her out. He was very surprised, but he didn't know why, but the princess had clearly said that she wanted him, but there was no happiness on her face at all. It was a very strange expression.

After Hong Ying unwittingly mentioned Li Fengyi earlier, she lost all spirit in whatever she did and the Evening meal did not eat either. Instead, she stood quietly by the window and looked at the bright moon in the distance.

Today's moon was very big and round, but everywhere it shone with desolation.

Shangguan Qian clasped her hands behind her back and closed her eyes. A year of her own torture, the news of her family's destruction, the scene of the young child's tragic death, how could she let these scenes go?

Li Fengyi, you owe me, you have to repay me no matter what!

Suddenly, a strange sound of a flute rang out. It sounded like the sound of a bird, but it didn't sound like it. She followed the sound out of the palace.

Just at that moment, a black shadow quickly passed by in front of her. She quickly hid to the side and carefully examined her surroundings. After confirming that there was no one there, she unhurriedly followed him.

It was an abandoned palace, and there were very few people who would come here. She walked into the courtyard quietly, and a gust of cold wind blew across the courtyard, causing the atmosphere to become even weirder.

It's just that she's already been killed once, wraith? She was the evil ghost, how could there be something more tragic than her death?

Ye Zichen smiled mockingly. At this moment, he saw that a candlestick had lit up in the room, while two shadows were shining on the window. They seemed to be discussing something.

Because she was too far away, she could not hear him clearly. She bit her lips and walked to the door, not giving up. She listened attentively.

"Tomorrow in the wedding procession ?"

"Who's outside!"

Before he could hear anything, he was discovered. Shangguan Qian felt that he was really unlucky, so he stood up and wanted to escape, but felt a strong wind coming from behind him. His neck hurt, his vision turned black, and he completely lost consciousness.

"Princess?" A rough voice sounded, carrying a trace of doubt. "Did she discover us? Shouldn't we have killed her? "

"No need, you can go." A deep voice came from within the room. The voice was pleasant to the ears, but the tone was too cold. It made people feel as if it was winter and October.

"Yes sir!" The boorish man clasped his hands and quickly left.

The shadow in the room slowly walked to the door and looked at the person who had fainted. As he walked out, the candlelight in the room instantly went out. In the darkness, only a corner of the room was faintly visible.
