It was currently June, and the weather was scorching hot. The sunlight shone on the crabapple trees in the courtyard, reflecting off the shadows on the ground.

Li Fengyi had his hands behind his back, and there was a hint of worry on his face.

By the side, Xue Xuan spoke a few words to the old medicine boy, and the old medicine boy carried his medicine box and left.

"I wonder what Third Prince has to ask of me?" Xue Xuan had a smile on his face, but at first glance, he didn't seem warm at all. Instead, he felt a little cold.

Li Fengyi knitted his brows and sighed helplessly, his face filled with distress. "Imperial Physician Xue, you're talking about mufei. Her condition is getting worse every day, and he's even crazier than before."

"There's actually such a thing?" Xue Xuan's expression instantly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Logically speaking, that won't happen. I can concoct many pills to calm my heart and calm my mind, and this won't happen no matter what."

"I don't know what went wrong either." Li Fengyi had a troubled expression on his face.

"Don't worry Third Prince, you concocted the medicine according to the list I gave you?" Xue Xuan asked solemnly.

"Indeed, there was no deviation during the period of time. Moreover, I also checked the medicinal dregs and there were no problems."

This was the key point. If there was no problem with it, then why did the imperial concubine become like that? What had gone wrong?

Or was it because Imperial Concubine's words were true, that the ghost of the phoenix had come to look for her?

Thinking about this, Li Fengyi frowned. He wasn't so superstitious and wouldn't believe this kind of situation.

But concubine was getting crazier and crazier as the days went by. She would even occasionally speak rumors. He was truly afraid that if these words were to spread out one day, it would bring about trouble again if others found out about it.

"No, I really shouldn't. I'm not wrong about the medicine. Is it because of something else?" Xue Xuan looked at him seriously with a serious expression. "The Third Prince is a prudent person. Could it be that the people around him are up to no good?"

Xue Xuan's serious appearance actually caused Li Fengyi to doubt him slightly. Could it really be so?

"Since Imperial Physician Xue has no other choice, then I might as well go look for something else." Li Fengyi sighed and said.

Xue Xuan nodded his head. "Don't be anxious. Perhaps it's because Imperial Concubine was provoked to such an extent, the Third Prince has to take her out for a walk. Perhaps it'll be fine."

"Thank you, Imperial Physician Xue, for your reminder."

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning." Xue Xuan gave him a deep look, and his eyes flashed with a trace of craftiness. "Since there's nothing else, Xue Xuan will take his leave first."

"Alright." Li Fengyi frowned as he watched Xue Xuan walk off into the distance, the doubt in his heart growing even stronger.

What went wrong?

"Did Imperial Physician Xue leave?" Shangguan Qian chased after him, looking at the Third Prince.

"Yeah, I'm leaving."

"But he left that here." Shangguan Qian spread out his hand, and on it was a jade pendant, the one worn by Xue Xuan at his waist.

Li Fengyi frowned as well as he murmured, "Why is Imperial Physician Xue so careless?"

"He has just left, hasn't he? I'll return it to him. " After saying that, Shangguan Qian ran out with large strides.

As expected, Xue Xuan was wandering around a small pond not too far away, as if he was waiting for someone.

This place was usually filled with people, but now that there was no one here, Shangguan Qian strode over.

"Oh, the princess is here." Xue Xuan said while grinning.

Shangguan Qian had a look of displeasure on his face as he shoved the jade pendant into his hands, "What do you mean by intentionally dropping it?"

"There's no meaning. Since the princess helped you like this, shouldn't you repay me?" Xue Xuan asked while grinning.

Return? As expected, this fellow had a purpose for getting close to him, but what could she possibly have that would repay Xue Xuan?

"What can I repay you with? "What's more, I didn't tell you to tell Li Fengyi that I must stay in the palace."

Shangguan Qian was obviously not going to renege on the debt, but Xue Xuan burst out laughing when he saw her expression.

"Xue Xuan is stupid and not as intelligent as the princess. Xue Xuan's request is very simple; you just have to take good care of the Imperial Advisor."

Shangguan Qian Shan raised his brow, looking at him deeply, he mumbled to himself, "Take good care of the Imperial Advisor? What kind of person are you, a State Grandmaster? Why should I take care of him? Besides, what happened to him? "

"I'm just an imperial physician, just a young imperial physician." With a light smile, Xue Xuan turned around and left.

A hint of doubt appeared in Shangguan Qian Qian's eyes, he didn't know what this rascal meant. Was he really being kind to the Imperial Advisor?

But why did the Imperial Advisor seem to be wary of him?

Ever since that time in the pool, she had clearly seen the killing intent in the Imperial Advisor's eyes, but for some reason, she had not killed him.

What was the reason? What secret was this Xue Xuan hiding?

While he was still in a daze, he was hit on the shoulder.

"Qian'Er, I'm going back with Third Prince."

Sen Ya looked very happy. She took the chance to wink at Ye Ci, "If you don't go back now, I will take the third prince away."

Li Fengyi, who was standing to the side, appeared slightly embarrassed. He spoke in a deep voice, "Don't listen to her blabbering. I have something to do when I go back."

"I know, Sen Ya, take good care of the third prince for me." Shangguan Qian had an understanding look on his face.

Li Fengyi frowned, what was this woman trying to say? And what was this expression for? Was he planning to push him to Sen Ya?

"Qian'Er, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

"Alright." Shangguan Qian replied seriously, but he heaved a sigh of relief inwardly. At least they wouldn't be bumpy any longer, he was extremely nervous every time she entered the Palace. This opportunity had saved her a lot of hassle this time.

"Then we'll go and take care of ourselves." Li Fengyi looked at her with concern.

She tried her best to nod her head. "I know."

As Shangguan Qian watched the two leave, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, and he let out a sigh of relief inwardly.

The moment she turned around, she was shocked to find a figure standing in front of the courtyard as he coldly looked at her.

She took a deep breath and looked back. Her eyes were slightly icy cold. It was Li Yichen.

Li Yichen sneered coldly, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if he was looking at an enemy. But Shangguan Qian was only stunned for a moment before he was relieved.

He walked over with large strides. "The crown prince likes listening to the sounds from the corners?"

"This is the Queen Mother's palace, This Highness was just passing by." Li Yichen coldly glanced at her with a gaze that carried a trace of ridicule. "You still don't intend to leave?"

"Qian'er's injury was inflicted on her in the palace, so she naturally has to be healed before she can leave." Shangguan Qian's cold reply was a shock to his coldness.

Li Yichen sneered, and directly pressed his body over. His pair of dark and gloomy eyes were suffused with a trace of killing intent.

"Woman, you better not be scheming with me. I will make your death very ugly."

"The Crown Prince is serious, and I am only a princess of a foreign country. I don't have any status in the Great Yan Dynasty, and scheming will only make my death worse. I understand this very well." Shangguan Qian'er replied coldly, she could not help but take a step back, but she accidentally leaned against the wall.

A trace of sneer appeared in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Qing Ying is not someone you can mess with."

"I also do not intend to provoke him. Your Highness, please tell the eighth prince not to bother Qian'Er again. Qian'Er is disdainful!" Shangguan Qian sneered coldly, pushing him away as he strode towards the side chamber.

Li Yichen's eyes narrowed, and a trace of a strange light flashed within. This woman actually dared to go against him!

However, if she got close to Qing Ying again, he wouldn't let her off no matter what!

It was night.

Three sounds came from the window, Shangguan Qian sat up, opened the window, and threw a bag inside.

Shangguan Qian'er opened the bag and examined it carefully. It was a young eunuch's clothes, and without thinking, he changed his clothes and inspected it again. After confirming that there was no one following him, he left the side hall.

Along the way, there were very few people. Shangguan Qian lowered his head and walked swiftly, but he soon arrived at Ouyang Jin's hall.

Shangguan Qian Qian heaved a sigh of relief, looking around seriously, but he did not see Little Sheng Eunuch?

After waiting in the hall for a long time, he still did not see anyone around, and Shangguan Qian could not wait any longer. At this point, a black shadow quickly passed by.

Shangguan Qian looked into the distance, but could only see a mass of black, and could not see anything clearly.

Soon, a person stood in front of her. It was none other than Young Master Sheng. He looked at her coldly while holding a medicine bottle in his hand, carefully handing it over to her.

"Don't spill it."

Shangguan Qian also received it cautiously, his face full of curiosity. "Little Sheng, Eunuch. Where did you go? Why did you come so late?"

"Imperial Physician Xue served the emperor, so it was too late." Sachiko wiped the sweat from her face.

A look of surprise appeared on Shangguan Qian's face as he asked softly, "What happened to the Emperor?"

An alert expression appeared on his face before he sighed. "The emperor vomited blood today. His condition isn't good. Imperial Physician Xue is standing guard by the dragon bed."

Shangguan Qian's expression froze for a moment, with a hint of surprise. The Emperor vomited blood? Could it be Li Fengyi's eyes that were planted on him?

However, according to what little Sheng said, where did Xue Xuan get this medicine? It seemed like Ouyang Jin trusted Xue Xuan even more.

"So that's how it is. I'll be going in first." Shangguan Qian Bei carefully opened the door and entered with the medicine bottle in hand.

Still dense mist, Shangguan Qian held his breath and walked to the medicine pool. Ouyang Jin was soaking in it, the pink blood vessels on his body seemed to have become lighter than before.

Was he ready? Unable to resist, Ouyang Jin stretched out his hands and touched him. However, he abruptly opened his eyes, revealing an ice-cold glint within.

"Give it to me."

The word 'cold' was stuck in Shangguan Qian's heart like an icicle. He had thought that he was just slacking off and that the dark side was Ouyang Jin's side, but now it seemed that it was different.

That emotion was merely a mask he had displayed. It was not real, but she was still foolishly hoping for it.

He bit his lips and passed the medicine bottle over. He seemed to have recovered completely. Taking a deep breath, he emerged from the medicinal pond and put on his clothes before sitting down on the soft couch with an extremely bad complexion.

As for Shangguan Qian, he was still standing by the pool, as if he had been shocked by what he had just done and did not dare step forward.

Ouyang Jin frowned as he whispered, "Come here."

"I'm going back." Shangguan Qian said seriously, but his eyes were icy cold, and he tried his best to calm the pain in his heart.

Ouyang Jin's brows slightly raised, his tone was firm, and with a few commands, he said, "I will call you over."

She couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly walked to stand before him with a forced smile.

"I'm coming over, what do you want?"

Ouyang Jin's impeccable face revealed a trace of probing as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. He whispered, "Your emotions fluctuated greatly, but who was it?"

Shangguan Qian's brow furrowed, a hint of anger in his eyes. He actually dared to ask why?

Who told him to get hot and cold at the same time? It gave her the illusion?

Yes, it was a fantasy. Perhaps he had been alone in this life for too long, that was why he had such feelings for Ouyang Jin.

And why should he naturally question her? Who was the reason why his emotions fluctuated so greatly?
