Li Qingcha remained noncommittal.
Si Rou looked at her and said, "Beyond the court, there is a bigger world, and the dangers of the court are no less than those of the palace..."
The topic changed quickly.
Li Qingcha asked in confusion: "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden? I'm not an official."
"Do you really not know or are you pretending not to know..."
"I really don't know."
"Map! The map you drew for Feng Weiqi!"
"!!!"
"If I hadn't stopped him, the map would have been in Father's hands. Do you think the current Emperor of Daxia would be eager to find talented people and ask about the author of the map?"
"..."
"..."
The two were silent.
suddenly,
"Thank you, Princess." Li Qingcha said.
Sirou was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"You have been dishonest ever since you entered the palace... No, I should say, since the first time we met. You have been very defensive towards me. The only thing you said to me just now was your sincere thanks."
Li Qingcha didn't respond.
Si Rou looked at her deeply and continued, "I now believe that you are not a scholar."
The implication is that scholars often have the lofty ideal of benefiting the world, but Li Qingcha, despite his great talent, puts self-preservation first.
Li Qingcha said: "I am a woman."
Si Rou was stunned at first, then she couldn't help laughing out loud, even covering her lower abdomen, and said, "You are really interesting. You use your female identity as a shield at a time like this. It's obvious that you don't even bother to think of a lie."
"I don't bother lying."
"Yes, yes, you are awesome!"
Sirou looked at Li Qingcha with eyes full of curiosity.
Li Qingcha looked at her.
a long time,
"Forget it." Si Rou sighed, "Regarding the map, I stopped them by using the excuse of celebrating my father's birthday. In other words, the map still needs to be presented, but it has to wait until my father's birthday."
"Then, the author of the painting..."
"I'll keep it secret for you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
If it was Feng Weiqi who provided the picture, then all the questions would definitely be answered truthfully.
But Sirou is different.
The emperor did not like her, so even if he was curious about the author, for the sake of consistency in his behavior and to avoid misunderstandings from other princes and princesses, he would ask questions in private, which made it possible that he was playing Tai Chi.
No matter what Sirou's real thoughts were, she did help Li Qingcha in this matter.
Li Qingcha pondered and prepared to thank him again.
result,
"Come on, your thanks aren't very sincere anyway." Si Rou interrupted, "Come on, I'll take you out of the palace."
Li Qingcha: “…”
The two of them came to the palace gate together.
Sirou took out the token and handed it to Li Qingcha.
"With it, you can enter the palace to guide the Young Phoenix Camp."
The token was handed over in front of the guards, and the words were also spoken in front of the guards. The deep meaning is self-evident.
Li Qingcha nodded.
"Your Highness, I am leaving now."
"Ah."
Sirou watched Li Qingcha turn around.
She hesitated for a while, but finally couldn't help asking, "Who was the first time?"
Li Qingcha paused, turned around, and answered sincerely, "First time? What do you mean by first time? Why don't I understand what Your Highness is talking about?"
After saying that, she greased her feet and ran away.
Yongjia looked at Li Qingcha's back, then at his sister, and murmured to himself: "Do I need to ask? Of course it's Sister Weiyang..."
The voice has not fallen,
thump—
The little girl received a slap on the head.
Chapter 59: Pieces of Night
The morning breeze blew, gently caressing Gong Lianxue's hair.
She stood at the door of Yicui Tower, tiptoed, looking towards the north side of the street, with an anxious expression on her face.
At this time, a voice sounded from behind.
"Meow~"
Gong Lianxue turned around and complained, "Can you tell it to stop barking?"
Luo Weiyang is holding a little gray cat.
A man and a cat each hold a small dried fish in their mouths, with cute expressions, exactly the same.
"I didn't want to either," she said, "but I don't know what happened to this little girl. When she heard that I was looking for Master Li, she grabbed the hem of my skirt and wouldn't let go. Look, it's torn."
Gong Lianxue sighed deeply.
Stupid senior brother, it’s okay for you to hook up with women outside, but why do you even let the cat go?
She looked at the little gray cat again.
The little gray cat was not afraid at all and looked at Gong Lianxue.
stare--
stare--
In the end, Gong Lianxue was defeated.
“This cat is really smart.”
"Really?" Luo Weiyang was happy.
"What are you so proud of?"
"Oh……"
Luo Weiyang continued to eat dried fish.
This morning, the news that a foreign monk attacked Li Qingcha but was killed and beheaded reached the Imperial Observatory. The director of the Observatory roughly knew that it was something related to the Heavenly Secret Disk.
Therefore, he personally went to Jingzhao Prefecture to give testimony, the main purpose of which was to prove that Li Qingcha acted in self-defense.
With the guarantee of the supervisor, Li Qingcha would be fine.
"I heard that he was seriously injured." Gong Lianxue said.
"She has been taken to the palace, so she must be fine." Luo Weiyang replied.
Even so, she felt that the dried fish in her mouth tasted like chewing wax, which was completely different from her usual feeling.
Mr. Li...
It will be fine!
The girl was caressing the cat with a heavy heart, and her hands were not careful.
"Meow~"
Xiao Hui is almost bald.
Gong Lianxue, who was standing by, looked at them with pity.
"Speaking of which, Captain Zhao kept silent about Master Li's whereabouts, not even telling me, so how did you know he went to the palace?"
"My master is a first-rank official, and many of Daxia's secrets will not be kept secret from him."
"Too."
"Hey, I'm just a fortune teller now. If I do..."
As we were chatting, we heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
The two looked over.
I saw a horse-drawn carriage coming from the north of the street. There were phoenix carvings on the body of the carriage, and the tassels in front of the carriage were held by hooks in the shape of a dragon's mouth. It was obviously an imperial item.
came back!
Gong Lianxue and Luo Weiyang went to greet them.
As a result, Xiao Hui was faster than them. He kicked Luo Weiyang's chest and rushed into the carriage.
Li Qingcha's voice came from inside the car: "Xiao Hui, why is it you?"
She lifted the curtain of the carriage,
"You're all here..."
Luo Weiyang looked at him repeatedly for a long time, then nodded and said, "Mr. Li, it seems that you are okay."
Gong Lianxue's eyes were countless times sharper.
Li Qingcha's clothes had clearly been washed...
With her sixth sense, the girl smelled danger.
Li Qingcha jumped off the carriage and nodded to the driver.
The driver returned to the palace to report.
Luo Weiyang said, "Mr. Li, I'm glad you're okay. Here, this is for you. Master asked me to bring it."
As she spoke, she took out a brocade box.
Li Qingcha opened it.
There was a golden-red pill inside, which looked very much like the red pill mentioned in history books. Eating it could enhance certain abilities, just like the rejuvenation pill given to men by the Demon Sect.
Many emperors died from taking red pills.
"What is this?" she asked.
"Golden elixir can strengthen the body and increase the energy." Luo Weiyang said, "My master personally refined it, so the effect is better."
"Do all the people in your Imperial Observatory eat it?"
"We don't take it. Cultivation requires gradual progress. Taking medicine is like forcing things to happen. Master has always forbidden us to take medicine."
"..."
"Besides, our Qintianjian lineage does not value martial arts, so the effect of taking medicine is very poor."
The two looked at each other,
Luo Weiyang was so naive that she didn't realize she had said the wrong thing.
Li Qingcha also gave up on treating her and put away the golden elixir. He said, "In a few days, you will accompany me to Daxiangguo Temple. One of us was assassinated and the other had the Heavenly Secret Disk stolen. It's time to go to their house and ask for justice."
