Ling Yichen's reaction naturally couldn't escape Ling Rui's eyes, no one knew his son better than his own father.

Since Chen'er's mother died ten years ago, it's been a long time since he cares so much about a person. Qing Li's body does have a bit of Yingxia's shadow, maybe it is the long-missing softness that makes Chen'er want to get closer.

Ling Rui suddenly felt a little comforted, and breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that with Qingli in the future, Chen'er would not be lonely anymore......

In the head of joy, Ling Rui's heart suddenly ached.

"Uh......" A muffled snort sounded, Qing Li glanced at it, and saw Ling Rui clutching his chest, his face pale, and the faintly protruding green tendons on his forehead showed his pain at this time.

"Father!"

"Lord Wang!"

Almost at the same time, Ling Yichen and Lu Wanqiu exclaimed in surprise and stood up to his side, their faces full of concern. Qing Li will not be idle, and when he gets up, he will go over to check his pulse.

Ling Rui's hand subconsciously dodged, endured the pain that pierced his heart, and waved his hand easily, "What are you doing, it's an old problem!" Surprised! Let's go back, this king is fine. He smiled forcefully, but his face was unusually pale.

Qing Li felt that he was a little eager to cover up, but he couldn't say anything, but Ling Yichen obviously wouldn't be so easy to fool, and his attitude was extremely tough, "Father, your body has always been bad, and it will not be possible in the long run, why don't you let Qing Li take a look, maybe there is some cure." ”

The father's illness dragged on for more than ten years, and after the death of the mother's concubine, it became even stricter, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless.

When Lu Wanqiu heard this, she also echoed: "Lord Wang, let her take a look, there may be a way." Although she is usually not on the same page with Ling Yichen, and even less to Qing Li, she has a rare consensus of opinion on this matter.

There is sincerity in her eyes, although the prince has no feelings for her, and she married herself only because of responsibility, but she still has some friendship for him, even if there is not much left over the years, but he is still her own heaven in the end, and she still needs to be attached to him.

Ling Rui was in a dilemma, raised his eyes and looked at Qing Li deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, Miss Qing is in trouble for you." ”

"The prince is polite."

Qing Li understood and stepped forward to take his wrist. But as she deepened her pulse, she became more and more frightened.

Ling Rui saw that there was something special in her eyes, combined with his previous refusal, Qing Li already knew his intentions, and was mentally prepared for his condition, but he really felt it himself, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

The perennial indifference has made her develop the habit of calmness, no matter how turbulent her heart is, her face can always be shallow and casual.

Just like now, she can still control her feelings and withdraw her hand as if nothing happened.

"How?" Ling Yichen asked nervously, his deep eagle eyes glowing eagerly, and it could be seen that he really cared about King Chennan.

"Not really." Qing Li replied lightly, his face did not change, "The prince is just weak, and he has not taken care of it well all the year round, so he has been ill for a long time." Recently, I haven't rested well, and my body is already tired, so I have angina. Take a few sticks of Ningshen tea, and then take care of yourself. ”

Qing Li said calmly, avoiding Ling Yichen's eyes without a trace.

In fact, when she said these words that violated the facts, she always felt a little sorry for Ling Yichen, just like a doctor helping a patient to deceive his family together, how could he feel awkward.

"Look, it's all right, sit down." Ling Rui smiled perfunctorily, but he actually sighed in his heart. Fortunately, Qing Li is a delicate and clear person, otherwise he would not be able to hide it......

Ling Yichen was suspicious, and didn't say anything else, Lu Wanqiu was obviously relieved, and returned to his place.

Xu is little episode just now made Lu Wanqiu settle down, she didn't embarrass Qing Li anymore, while Ling Yichen chose to remain silent, and her heart was heavy.

After that, the dinner party almost became the home of Ling Rui and Qing Li, the two talked about the ancient rhyme of culture from the famous mountains and beautiful rivers, from poetry and poetry to astronomy and geography, and there was a feeling of hating each other.

Qing Li had to admit that Ling Rui's insights were very unique, and he didn't have the mud of the current celebrities, and he was gentle and easy-going. However, at the same time, she began to wonder again, why didn't Ling Yichen inherit the elegance of King Chennan?

The dinner was still harmonious, Qing Li had already eaten very much, and Ling Rui saw that it was getting late, so it was inconvenient to stay longer, but there were some things that still had to be explained.

"Girl, I just heard you say that you like the landscape paintings of mat Zimo, and there is just one in this king's study, so I'll give it to you." Ling Rui laughed.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Qing Li knew this, so he didn't refuse, and followed behind him with a smile.

The banquet hall is not far from the study, and it takes only about two corridors to get there. Most of the furnishings in the house are wooden, simple and heavy, with a faint fragrance of logs, and various books are neatly placed on the two rows of large bookshelves, which makes the book fragrant ink full of inkstone, and I can't help but want to peek at it.

"You like to read?" Ling Rui couldn't help but ask when he saw Qing Li staring at the bookshelf.

In the conversation with her just now, he found that this child had read a lot of books and heard a lot of strange things, but now there are few people like her who are calm from the bottom of their bones.

"I like it very much." Qing Li nodded. When I have free time, my favorite thing is to read a book on the soft couch, and it is also a pleasure to see that I am asleep......

In the blink of an eye, Ling Rui had already taken out a scroll and handed it to Qing Li, "This is Xi Zimo's "Farmer's Family", which I got a few years ago, so I'll give it to you today." ”

Qing Li took it, knowing that this was just a disguise, that is, if she wanted to show it to others, then she had to accept it.

Open the picture scroll, it is a field writing intention, thick or light ink brush shallow outline the farmland, buffalo, cattle baby, elegant and casual, elegant and fresh, each stroke ends smoothly and naturally, all have the style of mat ink, it is indeed a masterpiece.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Qing Li bowed and thanked him.

Seeing that his eyebrows were a little heavy, and he didn't say anything for a long time, Qing Li took the lead in speaking: "I'm afraid the prince's body won't last long." ”

Qing Ya's voice was a little strict, but Ling Rui didn't care at all, but smiled freely.

"Yes, if it weren't for your grandfather, this king wouldn't be alive now." He knows his body best, and now he can face the consequences calmly, but he ...... "Don't tell Sù Chen'er about this." "If the time comes, he will naturally give an explanation.

Qing Li couldn't help but become more and more frightened when he saw through life and death, what kind of experience made him so open-minded? The toxins accumulated in his body for many years have already invaded the bone marrow, and grandpa is just trying his best to restrain it with poison, but it is also hopeless!

In this case, at most a year, the oil will run out, and he doesn't plan to sue Ling Yichen?

Qing Li was a little angry and sighed secretly.

King Chennan has always been idle at home, with no real power, but Ling Yichen is famous, prosperous, combined with Ling Rui's poisoning for more than 20 years, Qing Li can vaguely guess a few points.

"The prince wants to protect the prince, there is not only such a way." The slightly drooping eyelids covered the sadness in her eyes, and Qing Li spat faintly, as if she was lamenting and regretting.

When the emperor was there, the prince was the crown prince, but for some reason he gave the throne to his own brother, and then he became a prince. However, he is still jealous, and there are many people in the previous generation who support him, if he now occupies a place in the court, the emperor is afraid that he will have trouble sleeping.

Now he has harmed himself, but it is just to reassure the emperor, so Ling Yichen can be as comfortable as he is now......

This is the benevolence of the father and the heart of the emperor!

Qing Li's heart was desolate, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or sighing or full of helplessness.

Ling Rui was really surprised by this clarity, he smiled a little bitterly and self-deprecatingly, and glanced away, "There is only one way to make him feel at ease......"

This he naturally refers to the emperor, and there are some things that need not be said that Qing Li already understands.

The moonlight outside the window was already very bright, Ling Rui looked at the bright moon, and sighed faintly, "It's late, you should go back......"
