Chapter 115: The Return
He used to be disdainful of women, and he has always been clean and self-conscious, but he just stole one or two tricks under the influence of his ears and eyes, but he really wants to practice, and those women will only make him feel disgusting!
But he was afraid that Qing Li would think left, so now he had to explain in a panic over and over again.
I was too nervous for a while, and there were even fine beads of sweat on the tip of my nose, which made Qing Li sneer.
"I didn't say anything about you, what are you doing in such a hurry?" As he spoke, he took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his sweat.
The faint fragrance emanating from the cuffs is elegant and refreshing, and the silk satin handkerchief leaves a little coolness on the tip of his forehead and nose, which makes him crisp half of his body.
Qing Li saw that his eyes were getting deeper and deeper, and he knew that he couldn't continue, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do anything ridiculous in broad daylight!
Quickly retracting his hand, not even giving him the opportunity to seize it, Ling Yichen couldn't help but be dissatisfied, and called out quietly: "Li'er! ”
Qing Li smiled secretly in his heart, ignored it, leaned back into his arms, and said with a smile: "I'll tell you something funny." ”
"What?" Ling Yichen replied in a muffled voice, obviously not very interested.
"The library was burned, and there was a fire the night before, and it was burned to the ground."
When Ling Yichen heard this, he was shocked: "What! The Library is gone! ”
His eyes widened in shock.
To say that this ink library not only collects all kinds of famous calligraphy and paintings, cherishes ancient books, and even some unknown codex records are also included in it, only members of the royal family and a few officials with concessions can enter, and Pingsu is heavily guarded. It's a place of extreme secrecy.
Uncle Huang attaches great importance to this place, not to mention that the inner and outer three layers are properly protected, and there is not even a mouse. There is also a special person who regularly investigates and searches, sweeps and dries books, and is meticulous and does not like words, how can there be a sudden fire?
"What happened?" Ling Yichen didn't believe it would be an accident, the first thing he thought of was that someone deliberately did it!
And since this person dared to make such a big move, he must have informed Uncle Huang in advance!
What the hell is going on. Need to use such a method to break the net?
Qing Li raised his willow eyebrows, his eyes flashed with a faint glint of appreciation, and said, "Some time ago, you accepted the matter of Xichuan's spies. And the fuse of those incidents was not a move by the three princes? Precisely, the borrowed reason was provoked again, and there were always people who followed the letter. I couldn't help but blush. Naturally, the idea was hit on the library cabinet. ”
The rivers and lakes can produce many people, and there will be brave men under the heavy reward, as long as you can afford the price, what is the difficulty of inviting a person with strong martial arts?
For the sake of this huge treasure, it is worth taking a risk.
And to solve it completely, it is indeed the most effective to burn down the library cabinet.
Ling Yichen was stunned for a moment, thinking of Ling Qianmo's ruthless style. He frowned and muttered in disbelief: "Uncle Huang even agreed......"
Qing Li smiled noncommittally. "If he really burned everything inside, he would naturally be reluctant. But if only a shell is burned, but the core is kept intact, and someone can subsidize the lost money, plus eliminate the threat from the source, why not? ”
The Lu family has made a lot of efforts in this and spit out a lot of money.
She knew that Lu Yuansheng, the old fox, had recently been busy expanding the Baicao Hall so that he could sell medicinal herbs and compete with the Qing family for business, and a large amount of silver money was invested.
And at this juncture, it is necessary to invest such a large amount of money in Ling Qianmo's plan!
After all, the third prince is his backstage, if he doesn't support it, I'm afraid that the future will be difficult, so he just doesn't want to help!
I just don't know how long Lu Yuansheng has been depressed about this......
The more Qing Li thought about it, the funnier it became.
Ling Yichen figured out the reason, and saw that Qing Li was overwhelmed, and said suspiciously: "Li'er, the library is burning, what are you so happy about?" ”
Qing Li smiled slightly.
In fact, the secret of the treasure of the former dynasty borrowed by Ling Qianmo, under Xichuan's large-scale high-profile actions, did not even make a splash, let alone spread to the people.
The reason why it has stirred up turbulent waves now and provoked everyone to know about it is completely because Qing Li let Xiyan spread the news through the guò Wujimen channel.
The news of the rivers and lakes is respected by Wujimen, and the authenticity of what they have done is of course extremely impressive.
No man is content.
Taking advantage of people's greedy nature, then those who are ready to move, of course, will not be able to hold back!
The library was frequently broken into, and the emperor would not sit idly by, and would inevitably return the matter to the initiator.
Therefore, Ling Qianmo can also be regarded as self-inflicted!
He was so yin to her before, so why couldn't she "exchange courtesies"?
Not only did it make Ling Qianmo suffer a dark loss, but it also made the Lu family suck a layer of oil and water, of course she was happy!
Ling Yichen listened to this, and saw the sly and smart look in her eyes, and hugged her into his arms with a smile, "Li'er, you little bad bag, why am I so rare to you?" ”
Qing Li only felt that his ears were a little hot again, and hurriedly changed the topic, "We can go back today, right?" ”
It's already in the suburbs of Kyoto, and if they go back quickly, it will only take an hour or two, but with them walking so fast, it is estimated that it will be dark......
Ling Yichen let out a soft "um".
That place, he really didn't want to go back! It's smoky, and it gives me a headache when I look at it.
What's more, as soon as he went back, Uncle Huang made some will and transferred him away.
He didn't want to leave Qingli at all......
"I don't know how my father's body has been doing in the past few months, and Jing Xuan, he didn't say hello to me last time he came to Chuzhou! Si Er heard that he was taken back to the palace, and now he doesn't know how to ...... "Qing Li counted the one she wanted to know, although someone passed on the situation in Kyoto to her, but she couldn't cover everything, there were always some things that made her worry about it.
Ling Yichen heard her say this, smiled slightly, hugged her tightly and whipped on Qingchen's body, and walked away.
Since they did not come back with a large army, and they were not informed in advance of who would return, when they entered the city, they did not see many people.
In addition, Qingchen ran so fast, and few people could see who was sitting on the horse, and only vaguely identified two figures, one black and one white.
When Ling Yichen returned to the palace with Qing Li, the two men looked at each other, saluted the two of them with a cheer, and couldn't hold back the excitement on their faces, and some people rushed into the palace to report to the prince.
Ling Yichen helped Qing Li off the horse, and with a smile on his eyebrows, he pulled her towards the wind and rain garden where Ling Rui lived.
The servants and slaves along the way were respectful to the two, and when they saw that the prince's eyes seemed to grow on the princess, they all smiled in their hearts.
The first acquaintance I met turned out to be Wen Lan.
I saw that she was wearing a lake blue embroidered dress, trotting all the way over, her pink face was dyed with two blushes because she was in a hurry, and her plump chest was also floating up and down because of wheezing.
"Shizi, you're back!" Wen Lan blessed him, but a pair of eyes were firmly locked on Ling Yichen's face, and the affection contained in it could be detected by anyone, and even ignored Qing Li's existence for a while.
Ling Yichen frowned slightly, glanced at her sideways, and said, "Why, didn't you see the princess?" ”
There was some dissatisfaction and anger in his words, thinking that Wen Lan was not such an ignorant person, why was he so abnormal now?
Wen Lan was stunned, and looked at Qing Li, who was standing beside Ling Yichen with a slight smile, that elegant and warm smile, bright and springy demeanor, and the hands tightly clasped between them, and her eyes couldn't help but be stabbed.
"I've seen the princess!" Wen Lan retracted her gaze and the sourness in her eyes in a panic, lowered her head and bowed deeply.
Seeing this, Ling Yichen's complexion was a little pale, he no longer paid attention to Wen Lan, and pulled Qing Li all the way away.
Qing Li glanced at him sideways, then looked back at Wen Lan, and saw that she was still in that blessed posture, and secretly shook her head in her heart.
She knew that Ling Yichen didn't understand the amorous feelings, and I was afraid that she still didn't know Wen Lan's friendship with him.
It's not that he's sluggish, it's that he never wastes his mind on people he doesn't care about.
However, his temperament made Wen Lan bitter......
If she remembers correctly, Wen Lan seems to be a year older than her, and she is now nineteen.
A nineteen-year-old girl, in an ordinary family, should have been the mother of several children!
Wen Lan is the daughter of Ling Yichen's nurse, although she is a subordinate, but because the prince treats her well, she is helping Lu Wanqiu take care of the affairs of the house, and she is the one who presides over the feed, and she is worthy of being the big lady in charge.
With such generous conditions, and such a backer as Chennan Wangfu, it is also deserving to marry an ordinary rich and noble family as the head of the house, but for Ling Yichen, he wasted his good years......
Qing Li only felt a little pity.
If she could, she would like to persuade Wen Lan well.
Ling Yichen doesn't have to think about it here, don't say that he doesn't want to, even if he is willing, she is also unwilling!
If Wen Lan insists, it will be nothing more than a lonely old age.
But if you find a good family for her, it will not be difficult......
Qing Li thought about it as he dragged him to Ling Rui's courtyard.
Uncle Liu still stayed in the courtyard as usual, but the difference was that he was accompanied by An Ning.
Just now, someone came to report that the prince and the princess had returned, and now both of them were standing at the door expectantly, looking forward to it.
Seeing Ling Yichen and Qing Li both coming over, both of them greeted each other.
"Miss, you're finally back!" An Ning looked at Qing Li with tears in her eyes, and hurriedly took her hand to take a closer look at her, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so she breathed a sigh of relief and cried: "Miss, I heard Ziya say that you fell from the mountain in Chuzhou and were injured very badly, which scared me ......."
She couldn't stop crying and crying, and when she heard Ziya say this, her heart was about to jump out! was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he couldn't wait to rush to Chuzhou to take care of Miss immediately.
If it weren't for the fact that she heard that Miss's injury was no longer serious, the prince also went with him and took Miss to recuperate, she would have breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
