Shangguan Li opened her eyes before dawn, although she felt very tired, but her body had woken up after getting used to it.

Without hesitation, she got up from the bed. The people who served in the palace knew her routine, and had already brought hot water and breakfast at this moment.

"County Lord, are you up?"

Shangguan Li answered, and then pulled a clean cloth from the changed white dress and tied it to the sideburns, blocking the stunning face.

She opened the door, and the little palace maid outside the door was probably startled by her outfit, and the words in her mouth stumbled before she spoke.

"County, county lord, Your Majesty understands your injury, and you don't need to ask for a pulse today."

"Got it."

After sending the palace maid away, she opened the door, washed her face, and looked at the pleasing face in the bronze mirror, and was a little troubled - she had no petals on her body.

I didn't think of this before I came, so I didn't even bring a veil.

Fortunately, she has the excuse of being injured now, and she doesn't have to go to see anyone unless necessary.

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door.

Shangguan Li's expression froze, it was really a house leak that happened to rain overnight. She casually pasted the shoddy veil to her face and opened the door again.

The person standing outside the door was somewhat unexpected, a woman with bright looks and bright clothes. She also had a relationship.

"Song Shihua?"

Shangguan Li wondered.

"Something?"

Song Shihua had a cowardice on her face, holding something tightly in her hand, and she bowed to Shangguan Li before saying.

"Does the county lord know where the prince is?"

Shangguan Li raised her eyebrows, half leaning against the door, how could she find her here at night? She asked.

"Of course the prince is in the prince's own tent, Miss Song has something to do with him?"

"Well, I've been there."

Song Shihua should be the kind of person who is more outgoing and lively, and now he doesn't know why he is a little twisted when he speaks, and his face is a little flushed.

She said softly.

"The prince doesn't seem to be here, I heard that the soothing incense here from the county lord is very favored by the prince, so I want to ask."

Shangguan Li is not a fool, and he suddenly understands when he observes his words and looks.

She smiled.

"I don't know, but I've heard the prince say before that he likes to walk by the creek in front of the tent. You can check it out. ”

Song Shihua's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Then he ran away in a hurry.

Shangguan Li looked at her back, shook her head, and went back to continue to be her "shrinking turtle".

By the time she had knocked a whole piece of rainbow worm into powder, it was already dawn. She rubbed her aching arm and carefully put the powder away.

Halfway through, the emperor sent someone to ask her to pack up and return to Beijing in the afternoon.

In addition to the poison and medicine on his body, Shangguan Li originally had nothing, and he folded two sets of clothes into it, which was really a standard two-sleeved breeze.

So after tinkering with the rainbow bugs, she stayed in her room with nothing to do and read a book, turning about ten pages. Suddenly there was one more person in the room.

There's basically only one person who can do that.

Shangguan asked without raising his head.

"Didn't you see that young lady from the Song family?"

Xuanyuan sat on the window lattice at night, he had already changed his clothes, his mask was cold, and he said leisurely.

"What do you mean, county lord?"

"What do you mean?"

"Aren't we allies?"

Xuanyuan Ye's tone changed back to his previous demeanor, and his eyes, which were half-hidden by the mask, glowed with innocence.

"How can the county lord betray me?"

She tore her gaze off the page and said slowly.

"Is there anything serious? Don't talk nonsense. ”

"The person who assassinated His Royal Highness King An in the hunting ground has a trace."

Xuanyuan Ye said lightly.

Shangguan Li's fingers pinching the pages paused, puzzled.

"Alive?"

Xuanyuan Ye knew what she meant, such a major assassination, once it failed, in order to never suffer from future troubles, the person who did it would most likely be killed.

Unless that person has a special status, or is very liked by Feng Sichen.

"Alive."

Xuanyuan Ye held a small verdant bamboo flute only as long as the palm of his hand, and turned out a green flower like a dagger.

"But he didn't contact King Yu again, but went back to the capital directly."

"It doesn't sound like it's one of King Yu's men."

Shangguan Li frowned, she now had a bad premonition when she saw the bamboo flute in Xuanyuan Ye's hand.

"Who knows, just grab it and ask."

Xuanyuan Ye's tone was very light, but Shangguan Li felt that this "ask" might not be as civilized as it sounded.

Maybe if you catch this person, you can catch Feng Sichen's handle, for Shangguan Li, there is no need to hesitate to step on Feng Sichen when he gets the opportunity.

It's just that......

She suddenly became colorful.

"Xuanyuan Night, I remember you said something to me before."

Xuanyuan Night: "Huh? He looked at it.

"You say, let me easily not take sides."

"There's such a thing."

He tapped his chin slightly.

"Above the court, the king of Zhenbei is neutral, right?"

The question in Shangguan Li's mind that had continued from last night to the present suddenly seemed to catch a dim light, and the reason why Feng Sichen wanted to push her to Feng Sibei in front of everyone gradually became clear.

Xuanyuan Ye has never been involved in party disputes, and treats King Yu and King An equally. Although because of Lan You's relationship, he and Feng Sichen are destined to have more contradictions.

But that won't affect Xuanyuan Ye's water in all the major affairs of the court.

Feng Sichen himself was clear about this, so although Lan You hollowed out his mind to get rid of Xuanyuan Ye, he himself seemed to have never taken the initiative to target Xuanyuan Ye in the court.

It can be said that Feng Sichen and Feng Sibei are like the two ends of a balanced scale, and Xuanyuan Ye is the heaviest weight, the kind that can directly change the pattern if he favors anyone.

But probably because she and Xuanyuan Ye were too close, especially the assassination in the hunting ground, Xuanyuan Ye came out to help her. may have caused Feng Sichen to have some misunderstandings - she has something to do with Xuanyuan Ye.

Although this sounds a bit like narcissism, Shangguan Li feels that Feng Sichen really thinks so.

If she were Feng Sichen, she would probably be worried about whether Xuanyuan Ye would favor Feng Sibei because of his friendship with her, and he would definitely not allow this kind of thing to happen.

Give Feng Sibei a Shaoyang county lord, or give him a Zhenbei king, the lesser of two evils, fools know how to choose. What's more, Feng Sichen has come to this day, and he doesn't just rely on his enthusiasm.

And maybe she can use her to stir up the contradiction between Xuanyuan Ye and Feng Sibei, and then take the opportunity to win him over.

It's just that the premise of all this is that she and Xuanyuan Ye really have that extraordinary friendship.
