After rebirth, the princess killed people without showing any blood.

The next day, the weather was very good, and the sun hung high in the sky, overlooking the world.

The entrance to the General's Mansion.

"Miss, do we really not have to wait any longer for Mrs. Liu?"

Lu Yi helped Shangguan Liuying get into the carriage with some worry.

"It's almost too late, let's go first." Shangguan Liuying said casually, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he calmly sat back in the carriage and began to close his eyes and rest.

There will be a flower banquet in the palace today, and almost all the female family members of the officials in the capital will be present, so the women's school will be suspended for three days.

In the past, Liu Mei attended the royal banquets with Shangguan Liuying, otherwise she, a concubine of the Marquis Mansion, would not be eligible to enter.

But today, Shangguan Liuying waited at the door for a long time and saw no sign of Liu Mei, so she left alone.

One after another, gorgeous carriages outside Donghua Gate entered the palace facing the morning glow.

Shangguan Liuying's carriage looked particularly gorgeous among them. It was said that this was a gift specially given to her by the emperor. Most people were not allowed to use carriages of this size.

All kinds of flowers are in full bloom in the imperial garden, and gold-scaled fish swim happily in the pond.

The Queen specially held a banquet in the flower hall paved with jade, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in, refreshing the heart.

Shangguan Liuying should have gone directly to the Flower Hall, but with a roll of her eyes she secretly took a turn and went to the southeast corner of the Imperial Garden when no one was paying attention.

There is a bamboo forest here. There are several rockeries standing in the middle of the bamboo forest. There is a group of unknown small fish in a small pond next to it.

She walked leisurely to the pond, looked at the little fish in the pond and said to herself, "So you were so small before."

She looked up at the scene around her and fell into memories.

In her previous life, in this huge palace, Shangguan Liuying liked this place the most because it was very quiet. At that time, the fish in this pond were already very big, but probably because they were not rare species, few people paid attention to them. They were so excited when they saw Shangguan Liuying.

Over time, she got used to coming here alone.

I just didn't expect that she would have the chance to come back.

"His Royal Highness..."

The sudden sound startled Shangguan Liuying and stood up quickly. She held up the hem of her skirt and tiptoed to hide under the rockery nearby.

Then the voice sounded again, "Your Highness, your subordinates have found Chu Yun's whereabouts. Will you bring him back immediately?"

"It's not necessary for the time being. Hide him well and wait for the opportunity. Guzi will inform you. This matter must be done extremely secretly and must not be known to outsiders."

Taoist Priest Chuyun?

Upon hearing this name, Shangguan Liuying immediately covered her mouth in shock. She knew this person. It was said that this person was very powerful and could refine elixirs of immortality. In his previous life, Xiao Rui dedicated this person to the old emperor. This person He also contributed a lot to Xiao Rui's subsequent rise to power.

If she could find this person first before Xiao Rui, could she...

Shangguan Liuying became excited at the thought of a certain possibility, and she bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from making a sound.

She was eager to know who was conspiring with Xiao Rui, so she carefully leaned out half of her body to check.

But unfortunately, she didn't pay attention to her steps and accidentally stepped on a dead branch.

The "squeaking" sound was particularly harsh at this time.

"Who's over there?" the man shouted sharply.

At this time, Shangguan Liuying didn't dare to move. Just when she was at a loss, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind and pulled her back.

Then a white kitten jumped out, sitting comfortably on the ground and licking its paws.

"Your Highness, it's a cat." The man seemed to be relieved and turned around to report to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui was very cautious and kept frowning, "Really?"

Just when they were about to continue their investigation, a young eunuch ran out of nowhere and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor is looking for you everywhere."

……

Listening to the footsteps finally fading away, Shangguan Liuying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned back to look at the man in front of her with complicated eyes, then lightly opened her red lips and said, "Thank you, Third Prince."

It turned out that the person who had saved her just now was the third prince Xiao Yi. His expression was very calm, but he wore a black mask on the left side of his face, which formed a strong contrast with his fair and smooth right side.

Shangguan Liuying's mood was very complicated. She had always been unfamiliar with Xiao Yi in her previous life, until she accidentally saw how terrifying the burns under his mask were. From then on, she always avoided Xiao Yi when she saw him.

Later I heard that Xiao Yi was sent to her father's territory in the border area, and then there was no news about him.

She didn't expect that the person who saved her now would be Xiao Yi!

Xiao Yi ignored Shangguan Liuying's mentality. He just said lightly, "This palace seems very big, but it is actually very small. Miss Shangguan should be more careful next time."

Shangguan Liuying looked at his back and bit her lip. Was this man warning her?

The banquet was already in the middle of the banquet at this time. Shangguan Liuying sneaked back to the banquet and attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared.

The girl is wearing a moon-white pleated Ruyi skirt. Her cheeks are not rosy, but they look like the morning sun reflecting the snow. Her long black hair is tied behind her head with a snow-white ribbon. Her crescent-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, with pear dimples appearing slightly, are charming.

The third princess not far away looked at Liuying jealously and cursed that God was blind.

But soon she walked over with a smile on her face, "Liuying, I've been looking for you for a long time. Where have you been? Why didn't I see you just now?"

There was a little suspicion hidden in the third princess's eyes.

"I was just casually strolling around, what? You haven't seen me for a few days and you miss me now?" Shangguan Liuying teased the third princess.

The third princess glared at her with an irritated look, "Just tell me, by the way, what happened to Wanqing at the girls' school yesterday? I heard that she was imprisoned when she returned to the Taishi Mansion. She didn't even come to the flower banquet today! "

Shangguan Liuying's eyes flashed, "Really? It seems that Wanqing is really angry with the Grand Master this time. In fact, she also blamed me yesterday. It was me..."

At the beginning of the conversation, a young eunuch interrupted them, "Third Princess, Miss Shangguan, the Queen has invited you."

"I know," the third princess glared at the little eunuch with dissatisfaction, then looked at Liuying with a smile, "Let's go to the queen mother first. I guess she misses you and has been talking about you for several days."

Liuying smiled. She knew very well in her heart that the third princess was testing her. It was impossible that the third princess was not aware of what happened in the girls' school yesterday. She just wanted to see what she would say.

At that time, the Empress was surrounded by women from various families and concubines from various palaces, except for the women from Weiyuan Hou Mansion, who was Shangguan Liuying's aunt. Obviously Liuying also noticed it, and she suppressed the doubts in her heart. Walk forward slowly.

"Good luck to you, Queen. Liu Ying came late. I hope you won't blame me."

Today, the girl was different from the past. She was dressed coldly, but even more beautiful. The queen smiled and said, "Get up quickly. Why did you come here? The emperor has been talking about you for several days."

The Queen asked someone to help Shangguan Liuying and bring her to her. She held Shangguan Liuying's hand affectionately and greeted her. Those who didn't know thought she was the Queen's biological daughter.

However, the third princess was not angry at all, but had a smile on her face.

Shangguan Liuying looked cute and cute on her face, but she was sneering in her heart. She would never forget the hypocritical face of the man in front of her.

At that time, Xiao Rui had just settled everything and was about to ascend the throne. She went to the queen with joy to share her joy, but when she arrived at the door, she heard the loving queen discussing with Tang Wanqing how to destroy her!

She was extremely shocked at the time and didn't understand why the queen who had always doted on her suddenly seemed to be a different person.

Later she realized that they were just trying to gain her father's support by being nice to her. It was true that people were so far apart from each other that they couldn't tell whether they were humans or ghosts!
