Chapter 84

In the early morning, a chirp of birds cut through the sky that had been silent all night. A beam of sunlight poured down through the layers of clouds and mist, bringing a touch of warmth and melting the coldness of the night. The fog beads condensed into dew.

Hanging on the flower heads of the leaves, under the sunlight, they shine like pearls, and suddenly, the world is sparkling.

The morning clouds and mist have not yet dissipated, and the cool mist is still faintly floating in the Imperial Garden. Looking from a distance, it looks like the mist from the fairyland has fallen into the human world.

And in this dream-like scene, Shangguan Qi, dressed in white, appeared like clouds and smoke on the gravel path of the Imperial Garden in the early morning, holding a bamboo basket on his wrist, walking among the flowers and trees to collect the early morning memories.

The dew-colored long hair was tied loosely behind her head with only a white ribbon. It swayed slightly behind her as she walked, and a green ribbon was tied around her waist.

Her belt fluttered slightly on both sides of her dress as she moved with her steps. Her purple water eyes sparkled like a full moon accidentally falling into it, and in a blink of an eye, it absorbed the brilliance of the world.

Snow-white wrists were exposed from the sleeves, and the slender jade hands held a small blue and white porcelain cup and leaned towards a lily that had just bloomed above. I heard dewdrops falling into the cup and making a crisp sound.

The sound and a hint of warmth crept up to the corners of the slightly slender lips.[

Ever since she decided to be a woman who would be loved and hated by everyone in the world, she changed her usual decadent life and started to manage her own rhythm of life again. She got up at dawn in the morning and went to the imperial garden to collect dew and rest.

After a day of mood, she returned to the palace to take a nap, and then went to the imperial study room to start her busy life. And what she loved most during the day was this time, walking alone in the imperial garden, waiting for dawn, and listening quietly

The sound of "dew" drops&8226;&8226;&8226;&8226;&8226;&8226;

Nanyin Yuluo was dressed in white and stood under a big tree not far away. She looked silently at the woman in front of her who was carrying a basket and smiling. She was dressed in a white dress that was plain and elegant. The only decoration on her body was a tie.

The green ribbon around the waist. The skin is better than snow, and the eyes are like a pool of clear water. When looking at it, it has an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people take pictures of it. It feels ashamed and does not dare to blaspheme. But

There is something very seductive about Leng Ao's agility, and people can't help but be haunted and obsessed with it. She is like an elf in the morning, landing silently in the imperial garden where the flowers are blooming, leaving behind

The next silhouette that fascinates the world will disappear without a trace the moment the sun appears, just like the morning mist.

At that moment, he heard a place in his heart loosen up for this woman who was born like an elf.

"I always thought that only I would take a walk in the Imperial Garden in this early morning haze. I didn't expect that Prince Luo would be so interested." Nanyin Yuluo came back to his senses and realized that Shangguan Qi had discovered his traces in a trance. At this time, he was idle.

Yun He walked towards him step by step. He had a smile on his lips and a small bamboo basket on his wrist. His white dress was as misty as mist, and he seemed to be wandering over like a fairy living in seclusion in the mountains.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, Nanyin Yuluo raised a slightly enchanting arc, looked at her and said softly: "This is my first time to Xuanyuan Kingdom, and I have a special liking for the Royal Garden of Xuanyuan Kingdom. I wanted to do this this morning

I'm here to appreciate it, but I accidentally disturbed the Queen's enjoyment. It's really my fault." After saying this, he shook his head slightly to express his apology.

"Prince Luo, you are serious." Shangguan Qi raised her hand to support him slightly. Seeing him slowly raising his head, the hair on both sides of his ears slid down like a waterfall. He raised the corners of his lips and said in admiration: Monster. But at this time,

A black figure also walked into the imperial garden at this time. Shangguan Qi looked at the man's cold face, and there was a trace of light in his eyes. "Look, there is someone like you here to appreciate the imperial garden in the early morning."

It’s a garden.”

Nanyin Yuluo saw the slightest hint of amusement in her eyes, and turned around following her gaze. When he saw that person, he also laughed softly, glanced sideways at the woman beside him, and said with a smile: "Indeed, but

He is not here to enjoy the beauty of the imperial garden, but——"

Halfway through the words, the man had already discovered them. Seeing them, a man and a woman, dressed in white, standing under a big tree in the imperial garden like a couple of gods, he frowned slightly, and then walked towards them.

.

"Prince Luo." The man's voice was cold and powerful, exuding the majesty of a king. Then, he moved his eyes to Shangguan Qi beside him, "Empress?"

Hearing the hint of temptation in his voice, Shangguan Qi lowered his eyes and smiled. Then he looked at him calmly, his red lips slightly parted, and he breathed out like a orchid. His voice was as ethereal as the mist, with a coldness in it, refreshing the heart and mind, and making people feel like they were in a trance.

Into the misty mountain forest: "Prince Qifeng, I am polite." Then he smiled slightly, polite but giving people a friendly feeling.

Aocang Qifeng's eyes trembled, admiring Shangguan Qi for looking directly at him, a foreign prince, so calmly and generously. He saw her wearing white clothes, standing thinly in the imperial garden with heavy clouds and mist, as if she were a tree.

Lily is clean and spiritual, elegant and pure. Her quiet temperament reveals strong courage, and her eyes flash back with a hint of fierce arrogance. It shows that she is a woman who is different from ordinary people, with a low heart.

I couldn't help but admire her and be more interested in her.

"I am the king." Qifeng lowered his eyes slightly, slowly raised the corners of his lips at the woman who only reached his chin, and then returned to his calm indifference.

"Seeing that Prince Feng is holding the Snow Sword in his hand, he must be planning to come to the Royal Garden to practice swordsmanship in the early morning." Nangong Yuluo lowered his eyes and saw Aocang Qifeng holding a silver sword.

Carrying it behind his back, he remembered the rumor that the second prince of Aocang Kingdom preferred martial arts, and guessed.

"This king indeed has this intention." Aocang Qifeng admitted without concealment. Only because Xuanyuan Kingdom has a superior geographical location and most of the flowers in the imperial garden are not available in the other two countries, he would think of getting up this morning.

Come here early to dance the sword and enjoy the scenery of hundreds of flowers that is rare to see in other countries.

"In that case, I won't disturb your enjoyment." He smiled gracefully, and seeing the two of them nodding at the same time, he carried the bamboo basket and walked away. The sunlight pouring from the clouds sprinkled on the white flying sky.

On her dress, it was as if she was walking into the sun. The dazzling light made them all unable to help but squint their eyes at the same time, and the shock in their hearts spread like water ripples.

I have never seen a queen from any country be so holy...

"Master!" Xia Yu and Dong Li, who were guarding outside the imperial garden, walked out like fairies, and immediately rushed over with joy. One took the bamboo basket from her wrist, and the other took a white

The cloak was draped over her body.

"Master, it's very foggy in the morning, so you don't have to worry about getting cold even if you wear such thin clothes and enter the Imperial Garden!" Xia Yu pouted while adjusting the cloak for her.

"Oh, didn't you say it's okay!" He waved her hands to help her tie the ribbon, and pulled her left hand to her shoulder, and the white cloak was torn off. "The sun will come out in a while, just put it on.

It's time to get hot. Besides, it's not far from the palace, so the road is fine."[

"Master!" Seeing the casual look on his master's face, Xia Yu puffed up her cheeks angrily. Seeing that her master was unmoved, she accepted her fate and followed her with a dissatisfied look on her cloak.

A red sun finally broke through the clouds and jumped into the sky. The mist in the air gradually disappeared without a trace the moment the sun shone down. Nangong Yuluo and Ao Cang Qifeng looked at the beautiful figure in front of them that gradually disappeared from sight.

, each fell into deep thought.

When Shangguan Qi woke up from a nap in the palace, he was surprised to find Xuanyuan Yeya sitting beside him with his head in his hands and leaning on the bedpost, meditating on something. His brows were furrowed, as if he had encountered something troublesome. Seeing her

When he woke up, he turned around and smiled.

"You're awake." Seeing her sitting up, her hair hanging messily around her ears, he naturally stretched out his hand to comb it for her. Such a tender gesture made Shangguan Qi dumbfounded and stayed there.

There.

"You...are you okay?" She turned her head slightly and avoided his outstretched hand. Seeing him smiling nonchalantly, he took back his hand and asked, "What's wrong? Did you encounter something troublesome?"

"Yes. The spies found out that the western tribes from the south who came to participate in the celebration this time came with bad intentions." Xuanyuan Yeya couldn't help but frowned when he mentioned the troubles.

"South, Western Tribe?" She didn't know much about the Southern Tribe, so when she heard this, she looked puzzled. Why is there a Western Tribe in the South?

"Well, aren't there many nomadic tribes scattered in the south? More than ten years ago, after wars between tribes, they finally formed three major tribes in the east and west, each consisting of the most powerful nomadic tribes in the tribe.

The team is in charge of management. In the past few years, the weather has been good, the pasture in the south is growing well, and the three major tribes are friendly to each other, so their strength has gradually grown, and together they have the strength to compete with us, becoming the most powerful force on the grassland that wants to spread their wings.

The flying eagle. And the unkind ones this time are none other than the western tribes now led by the Qiyan family. According to spies, they seem to have decided to make things difficult for our country during the celebration." Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes flashed.

There was a faint glimmer of light. He had never managed those small tribes. He just saw that they knew the current affairs. Now that they have grown stronger, they dare to provoke everywhere, and start with Xuanyuan Kingdom. He is really courageous.

"Really? Is the country behind the scenes Nanyin or Aocang?" Or is there a traitor in our country? Shangguan Qi did not say the last sentence, but she felt that with Xuanyuan Yeya's IQ, this level should have thought of it.

"Why do you ask this?" Seeing Shangguan Qi ask this question with a calm face, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, but he couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

"No matter how fast a tribe develops, they will not risk their lives to challenge an empire that has existed on the mainland for hundreds of years at the beginning of its prosperity. Moreover, it is the Xuanyuan Kingdom that is currently the most powerful. Unless they want to destroy their own tribe.

Otherwise, they would never do such a stupid thing. Unless they have a strong enough backing to ensure that they can continue to survive unharmed after doing such a thing. And the only thing that can provide them with this backing is

Nanyin and Aocang also have a good foundation for hundreds of years, and the other small country tribes are not so strong at all." Looking at his eyes, the words were analyzed clearly. Seeing the curve of his lips rising more and more,

I knew my analysis was right. "Tell me, which country is it?" Who couldn't control the ambition in his heart and wanted to fire the first shot?

Xuanyuan Yeya saw her looking at him proudly, raised the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "I don't know."

"What?" What kind of answer is this? His eyes widened instantly, he pushed his body, and looked at him angrily, "Are you kidding me? Tell me!"

"I'm not lying to you, I really don't know." He grabbed her little hand that pushed him, with a trace of helplessness on his face. "No matter how much I check, I can't find out who is behind the scenes. Maybe it's——"

"Don't jump to conclusions in confusion, otherwise you will fall into the trap of the people behind the scenes." He withdrew his hand, looked at the helplessness on his face, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "You are not omnipotent. Just because you can't find out now doesn't mean you can never find out."

, why are you depressed? Also, as for the person you are guessing about, I hope you will put him in the corner of speculation for the time being, and wait until the day of the adult ceremony to see the reaction of the audience, and you will know something. No one is perfect.

People, there will be mistakes in even the best plans. As long as you send spies to keep an eye on the people from the western tribe in the past few days, you will be able to get some clues. So,

You are frowning now simply because you are looking for something to worry about. Everything has not started yet, so why do you think it is over?" It was really hard for her to agree with Xuanyuan Yeya's sometimes pessimistic attitude.

attitude. Most of her is an optimist, and she will try her best to think about things on the bright side at any time. Compared to the pain and sorrow caused by blind imagination, she prefers the happiness and joy brought by fantasy.

"I...well, I was wrong." He tried to retort, but when he saw Shangguan Qi's very reasonable face, he swallowed his words again. Maybe he was really too pessimistic. "

By the way, you met Nanyin Yuluo and Aocang Qifeng in the Imperial Garden this morning."

Seeing that his expression was calm and there seemed to be no waves on his face, but there were subtle fluctuations in his pair of bright green eyes, Shangguan Qi nodded gently and said with a smile: "That's right. What's wrong?"

"Uh...it's okay. I was just a little surprised when I heard the little kid's report." He lowered his head slightly and touched his nose, then raised his eyes to look at her, "What did you all say?"

She knew it!

Shangguan Qi rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously, and instead of answering his question directly, asked: "Who did you listen to, little kid?"

At that time, the little boy was accompanying Xuanyuan Yeya to the court and would not have seen this scene at all, so other people could only tell him. At that time, she did not meet anyone else in the imperial garden except the two princes.

, so that person must have been hiding in the Royal Garden a long time ago, so he was not discovered by her. As for why he was hiding in the Royal Garden at this time, the matter is not clear. After all, he was in the Royal Garden at that time.

She is the only one. And she specifically told the little boy, so I am afraid that someone had been ambushing her in the imperial garden for a long time, preparing to do something evil to her, but was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the two princes.

After the plan was finalized, she suddenly changed the plan and prepared to sow discord and plunge her into a place of confusion.

I just don’t know who this caring person could be?[

"Tell me first what you said." He turned around and looked directly at her, with a little firmness and urgency in his eyes.

"Who is that person?" Shangguan Qi was unmoved and looked at him with a cold face and asked.
