"Ah!" A scream suddenly pierced the sky above the imperial garden. The patrolling imperial guards heard the sound and hurried over.

"What's wrong? Ah! I've seen the Queen!" The leader of the imperial forest saw Shangguan Qi standing next to a fallen flower bush in white, and behind her, a woman in yellow was lowering her head to adjust her dress.

, so he hurriedly knelt down to salute, and the imperial guards behind him also knelt down to salute.

"Everyone, get up." He blocked Yurou behind him and said coldly to them, "It's just that Princess Yurou accidentally fell down. Now I've helped her up. You all can go back. Everything is fine here."

"

"Yes!" Just as the Imperial Guards were about to take the order and retreat, the leading guard glanced at the flowers without surprise and froze there in fright. Then he knelt down on the ground with a plop, pointed at the flowers and said, "Queen, what are you doing?"

The flowers are yew trees transplanted from other countries specially by the emperor. They have just grown this year. Now -" After saying that, he looked at the queen with some embarrassment. Although they were responsible for guarding, they would still report to the emperor if anything happened in the palace.

.

"Yew?" Shangguan Qi looked at the crooked grass and twitched the corner of his mouth. That clump of rotten grass turned out to be a precious yew? God, you don't want to play like this! [

"What should we do Qi'er?" She was just playing with her and then accidentally fell down and got into trouble unexpectedly.~(_)~How could luck be so bad!

"It's okay." He turned his head to comfort her, then looked at the imperial guard and said, "You have people come over to clean up first. As for the emperor, I will personally explain it to him later. Okay, you can go down first!"

"Yes." Although the leader of the Royal Forest Army was a little embarrassed, he still accepted the order and retreated. As soon as they left, Yurou grabbed Shangguan Qi's hands and looked at her pitifully, "What should I do? I didn't mean it?"

"It's okay, just a few flowers! Can he still eat you?" He waved his hands disapprovingly, with no trace of urgency on his face.

"But... but... do you think those imperial guards will tell Ye Di?" She caused trouble in another country, and she doesn't want to be so casual at home. If she is punished, no one will protect her!

"Definitely!" he said without thinking. "Because they are also afraid of taking responsibility!" Otherwise, they would not emphasize the importance of the flower.

"Then what should we do?" Yurou was already anxious.

"Langzai!" He grabbed her arm and walked forward. "Don't worry, you are a princess and represent Nanyin Kingdom. Emperor Ye will not trouble you for a few pieces of grass! So you can relax.

Well, if anything happens, I will protect you!"

"Really!" Yurou hugged Shangguan Qi's arm excitedly and rubbed her head coquettishly. "Don't worry, I won't ignore you! If Emperor Ye gives you trouble, I'll call my brother for help.

He loves me the most!"

Luo? Shangguan Qi curled up his lips. He dragged them in yesterday and he didn’t know if they were angry or not! How could he help him again? This Yurou was so naive. He turned to look at her and saw

She still had the chivalrous face of "I'll protect you if something goes wrong", so she smiled softly, pinched her face and nodded, then said, "Let's go, I'll take you to play something fun?"

Just now, she suddenly came up with a good idea. A brilliant idea that could allow him to escape from this deep palace compound.

In the royal study, Xuanyuan Yeya and others were discussing whether there were traitors in the court. When the discussion was getting intense, a royal guard suddenly knocked on the door and interrupted their conversation.

"Report to your Majesty! The Queen and Princess Nanyin accidentally crushed the yew in the Imperial Garden." The leader of the Imperial Forest Army thought about it and thought it would be better to come over and report.

"What?" Before Xuanyuan Yeya had time to react, Feng Jueyue jumped out as if his hair had exploded. Everyone around him was shocked.

"What are you doing!" Because he was closest to Feng Jueyue, Xuanyuan Yehan was even more frightened. He rubbed his confused ears and glared at him.

"Boss, this is revenge! This is revenge!" Ignoring Xuanyuan Yehan, Feng Jueyue walked towards Xuanyuan Yeya with a livid face.

"Retaliation? Revenge for what?" Xuanyuan Yeya was a little confused.

"Kill your favorite yew tree to death! This is not revenge! That witch! Boss, drive her back quickly! Otherwise, the entire palace will be killed by her-"

"Reporting to your Majesty, the Queen and Princess Nanyin have pulled out all the lotus flowers in the Royal Garden and said they want to eat the lotus pods."[

"To report to your Majesty, the Queen has led people to cut down a sycamore tree in the Imperial Garden, saying that she wants to chop it into firewood for hot pot."

"……."

"Look, look, boss! If you don't stop them, the palace will soon be demolished by them!" Feng Jueyue shouted exaggeratedly, trying to usher in a round of approval, but he was answered with a roll of eyes and a smile.

Speechless.

"It's August now, and most of the lotus flowers have fallen. It doesn't matter if you pull them out. I remember that there are still some sapphire lotus seeds in the library. My little boy, you can have them planted soon." He touched his chin.

, Xuanyuan Yeya was a little confused as to why Shangguan Qi did this. Because she is a cautious enough woman, and almost everything she does must be done to the extent that others will not let others get into trouble. But now she was waiting for the guests to sit down.

Why did Duan cause such a disaster?

'I will definitely get out!'

The conversation in the early morning suddenly popped into his mind. Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes turned cold, and then there was a clear arc. But the arc was somewhat bitter.

In order to be able to leave the palace, you will even destroy your own reputation. Shangguan Qi, do you really want to leave here? But I will not let you leave, and I will not let you escape from his arms like this!

"Also, let's pass it on, saying that the sycamore tree in the Imperial Garden was planned to be cut down in advance, and they will just take some seeds from other trees and plant it later. As for the yew, let's say that they did it accidentally. They found some

The seeds have been filled." Before the little boy left, Xuanyuan Yeya suddenly stopped him and gave him some strange orders.

"Uh...yes." The little kid didn't understand why the emperor defended the queen like this. Was it a special order at a special time?

"Boss, why are you defending them so much? You can tell right away that they did it on purpose, okay?" Feng Jueyue expressed strong incomprehension about Xuanyuan Yeya's actions and asked in a somewhat complaining tone.

"I have my own reasons!" I glanced at him and said coldly.

Now he has only lost some insignificant things, but if she leaves, then he may lose the whole world! He doesn't know how much Shangguan Qi is capable, but what he has discovered now is enough for him

I believe she is a woman who can see the world side by side with him! He cannot let go of such a woman!

The right hand on the armrest suddenly clenched into a fist, and his dilated pupils burst into a determination that he must win. Although there was another voice in his heart telling him that there was another reason to keep Shangguan Qi, but that thin tone

It's hard for him to catch her, but no matter what, he won't let this woman leave just like that!

Below, Xuanyuan Yehan looked into Xuanyuan Yeya's evil eyes, pursed his lips, and secretly tightened his hands on the chair...

By the lotus pond, Shangguan Qi and Nanyin Yurou were sitting side by side on the edge of the pond, peeling off lotus pods and admiring the fallen lotus leaves that filled the pond. Just now, this place was full of red flowers, but now only the stems and leaves of the lotus are left standing here.

Although the lotus seeds in the pool were very sweet, Shangguan Qi felt a little bitter in her heart.

It turns out that a person's sanity can be lost like this. Xuanyuan Yeya, why do you regret it? I promised you to let me go after I pay off the money I owe you, but now -

Throwing the lotus pod skin in her hand into the pool, she watched it sink slightly in the pool and then float on the water and follow the water patterns. She sighed heavily. She always felt that she seemed to have changed recently and became a little strange.

Logic. Is there such a thing? And why?

"Qi'er, are you in a bad mood?" Yurou was happily eating lotus seeds. When she heard a sigh from beside her, she turned to look. Seeing Shangguan Qi lowering her eyes and looking a little sad on her face, she moved closer.

asked.

"Well, there is a question that I suddenly can't figure out." He turned to look at her, thought for a while and asked, "You said that if a person changes, what is the reason?" She said that Xuanyuan Yeya changed, then she

Isn't it true? She found that since she came out of the cold palace, her mood seemed to be less peaceful than before.

"There are many!" She thought she would hear some answer, but Yurou gave her such a result, so she pestered her and said, "Tell me, let me listen!" Maybe you will get some inspiration!

Yurou saw that Shangguan Qi rarely came to her with questions, so she raised her head and said: "If a person changes, then something must have stimulated him. It could be that the change in the external environment has changed her state of mind.

, it may also be a kind of self-change in his heart. But I think the self-change in his heart must also be related to some things in the outside world, otherwise who would suddenly change their mood! There is no reason!"

"Then what in the outside world can make them change?" When it comes to herself, she becomes a complete fool.[

"There are many! The environment, some things that are big to them, and people! When a person meets another person, maybe some changes will happen to her!" Seeing a glimmer of light flashing in her eyes,

So he smiled and said, "Qi'er, did you meet someone who disturbed your mind and made you so melancholy? Speaking of which, why did you take me to do so many things today!"

"There are many people who disturb my mind, but I don't think they are the root cause. I think the reason why I have changed is because I have a desire in my heart. This desire makes me lose my inner peace, so I

There will be mood swings." The sky was blue and cloudless. He turned his head and smiled at her, and then continued to look up at the sky. "As for why I let you do these things, it also has something to do with the desire in my heart. When will I

If the goal is achieved, how about I tell you?" Because the news that she is leaving the palace is really too big for her, she will tell this little girl when she succeeds.

"Okay! I'll wait for you!" Yurou smiled considerately, and then followed her and raised her head to look at the sky.

"The Queen." A slightly cold voice with a hint of evil and sycophancy came out. Shangguan Qi turned around and found that Aocang Qifeng was standing in front of them in a black robe at some point. He lowered his eyes and looked at them.

Looking at the two of them, or to be precise, looking at her. Because in those cold black and white eyes, she could only see her thin body sitting on the bank of the pool.

"Prince Qifeng." He smiled at her and did not stand up. On the other hand, Yurou was embarrassed and didn't know whether to get up or sit down. But when she saw Shangguan Qi still sitting there, she continued.

But she no longer looked at the sky, but instead stared at the river. Because for this man, she didn't know why she didn't have any fear in her heart. Maybe it was because his aura was too complicated.

"The Queen is so elegant. She just helped the eunuchs in the Imperial Garden clean up the sycamore trees, and now she comes over to clean up the lotus flowers?" She smiled slightly with the corners of her lips curled up, but there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Cleaning up the sycamore trees? Cleaning up the lotus? Shangguan Qi met his eyes in confusion, and then looked at the pond on one side, as if he understood something.

No wonder no one has come to call him for so long. They went to the imperial study room for a lecture. It turned out that Xuanyuan Yeya had seen through her trick and started to sabotage it!

Why is this man so strange? He ignored her for three years, and now she wants to leave but refuses to let him go. What a contradiction!

"Why, isn't it?" Seeing that Shangguan Qi didn't reply for a long time, Aocang Qifeng asked again.

"Yes or no, I think Prince Qifeng knows clearly." Now that her pretense as a queen has been seen through, there is no need for her to pretend anymore. She picked up the lotus pod on the side, peeled it off and threw it into her mouth, then stared at his reflection in the lake.

He smiled and said, "Isn't it?" He thought she didn't hear the sarcasm?

"Haha, the Queen is really good at joking. I just listened to what those eunuchs said." Seeing her dangling her feet like a farm girl by the lake with an innocent smile, Aocang Qifeng's eyes flashed.

Shen, a little bit of interest arose.

"Well, hearing is one thing, believing or not is another." She clapped her hands and stood up, then came close to him, looked into his surprised eyes and leaned close to his ear, and whispered, "Your eyes and tone

Tell me you don't believe it."

He took two steps back and saw a trace of embarrassment and shock flashing through his eyes as he shook his head and smiled. He picked up Yurou, who had also stood up, and turned to leave.

Xuanyuan Yeya, although you are a smart person, do you think you can hide it from everyone? For some smart people, no matter how much you cover up for me, you can't hide it from them. But she didn't say anything, so it was

I'll leave you a face. She thought about it. After all, this is a matter between the two of them. There is no reason for her to involve so many people. She can just make small troubles. As for the big things that embarrass Xuanyuan Kingdom, let others do it.
