Chapter 25: Turmoil (3)

In Li Hao's heart, he has never regarded Li Pin as his daughter, just like her name, she is a gift from God to herself, a warm light in her infinite lonely life, and an angel who is not afraid of her cruelty and firmly guards herself. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The longer he walks in the dark, the more he can't let go of the only warm light that points to life, and he will keep Li Pin in his life forever and ever.

Just as he knew from the beginning that he was not her father, but gave her an infinitely noble identity, for the only warmth in life, was there anything he could not contribute?

Li Hao looked around and said loudly: "Is Pin'er going to be my father's bride?" Pin'er is too young, and she will talk about family affairs later. ”

None of the people present were like human spirits, and they didn't understand anything after hearing this, this was to tell them that the young lady would not mention marriage until she was fifteen years old, and since the prime minister had spoken, the families had temporarily stopped this matter.

Li Pin let out a long breath, but fortunately, his father was reliable.

"Ah!!h "Ah!!h "Ahh

Several sharp screams of women rang out from the back hall.

Li Pin frowned and gestured to Xiaoxi with his eyes.

"What's the matter with you clumsy maids, what's your name? What should I do if I surprise the guests? Xiaoxi frowned and looked at the little maid who came to the front hall.

"Back hall, back hall dead." The little maid said as she collapsed to the ground.

Li Hao looked at the maid and said to the guards beside him, "Deal with it." ”

After speaking, he continued to hug Li Pin and greet the guests, not worrying about what happened in the back hall at all.

"My lord, that maid stole sweet and sour pork ribs that had just come out of the pot and was poisoned. The villain has disposed of the corpse, but the person who poisoned it still needs to be investigated, otherwise it will not be good if he hurts all the adults and relatives present. The guard whispered in Li Hao's ear.

"Secretly go to check, don't alarm the guests, and serve the food and pastries with silver needles to test the poison, so as not to hurt the lives of others." Li Hao said admonishingly.

Li Pin was very close to Li Hao's position, so he naturally heard his conversation with the guards, and he was very curious, but he couldn't move. After a while, the guard came back and said, "My lord, poison was found in a palace maid who went out of the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, what should I do?" ”

"Send the palace maid to the prince, tell the prince what happened, and let the prince decide."

"Father, let me down." Li Pin can still sit still, just thinking about going to join in the fun immediately.

"No, Pin'er obediently accompanies her father, so it's good for her father to deal with bloody things, don't go to see it, what if you have a nightmare?" After speaking, Li Hao sat on the chair with Li Pin in his arms, broke the plum crisp that Li Pin liked to eat, and fed it to Li Pin.

Li Pin was stuffed with delicious food in her mouth, and she didn't have the heart to pay attention to the palace maid's affairs, but she was still a little curious about the appearance of the prince, she had seen the prince once so far, and she was still drunk.

Li Pin was carried by Li Hao to deal with the guests, and he was already impatient, and finally found a gap to go out to relax, and saw two guards carrying a straw mat and walking out of the door.

Li Pin's curiosity was too heavy, and when he saw something new, he immediately couldn't move his legs, and said crisply: "Stop." ”

Seeing that it was the young lady of the Li Mansion, the two guards hurriedly stopped: "Miss." ”

"What are you doing here, what are you carrying so sneakily." Li Pin walked over quickly, and was about to lift the straw mat.

"Miss, no, this is the person who has been punished, Miss still don't want to see it, so as not to scare Miss." The two guards hurriedly dodged Li Pin's hand and said anxiously.

"Really? What if I prefer to see it? Li Pin's temper came up, and he reached out to pull the straw mat, but the two guards didn't dare to pull her hard, for fear of hurting her, so they didn't check it for a while, and asked Li Pin to open the straw mat.

There was a female corpse in the straw mat, but the female corpse did not look like a normal death, it was covered with whiplashes, and some powder was sprinkled on the wound, causing the side of the wound to rot and bones. At first glance, it looks terrifying.

Li Pin was horrified when he saw the things in the straw mat, his face was pale, and he couldn't even make a sound of exclamation.

The two guards were afraid of long nights and dreams, so they hurriedly carried straw mats out of the house.

Li Pin settled down, and felt more and more that the palace maid's appearance was quite familiar, and after thinking for a while, isn't this palace maid the one who poisoned Situ Qing? Thinking of the words of my father to the guards just now, this must be the palace maid who poisoned her, she didn't hide poison on her body, but it was just used to poison Situ Qing, this prince was too ruthless, and this palace maid couldn't live because of her own sin.

Li Pin thought about it wildly, but he didn't come up with a reason, he thought of the woman's corpse again, he shuddered on his body, and hurriedly returned to the hall, Li Hao saw that Li Pin returned to the hall after a while, and he was relieved, but he saw that Li Pin seemed to be restless, and in such a hot weather, he actually shivered several times.

Li Hao walked over, took Li Pin in his arms, and asked with concern and reproach: "Where did this go?" How did it get like this? ”

Li Pin hugged Li Hao tightly, lying in this warm embrace, his mind seemed to be stable, he shook his head in his arms, and did not speak but silently hugged Li Hao.

Li Hao had no choice but to take this follower, greet his colleagues, and send the ministers away.

At night, the Prime Minister's Mansion finally calmed down, and the people were busy packing up their things, Li Pin twisted and pinched Li Hao's sleeve and handed over a box.

"Is this a gift from Pin'er? Father was so happy. Li Hao picked up the box and didn't wait to see the contents of it, he was very happy.

"You haven't seen it yet, so you like it, I promise you'll like it even more." Li Pin looked at Li Hao expectantly and motioned for him to open the box.

Li Hao opened the box, and there was a gorgeous dagger lying quietly inside, delicate and sharp, Li Hao took it out, he really liked this gift: "Is this dagger designed by Pin'er?" Father loved it. ”

When Li Pin saw Li Hao's expression, he knew that he was happy from the bottom of his heart, and he also put his heart at ease: "I designed it, since my father likes this dagger, but he must promise me a condition, otherwise I will take it back." ”

"Pin'er is really stingy, where is there a reason to send things and take them back, what conditions to say!" Li Hao received the dagger behind him, and his intention was obvious, no matter what, this dagger would definitely not be returned.

"Father is not allowed to use this dagger to cut his wrists or anything, although my father has not hurt himself for a long time, but who knows if my father can't think about it one day, I don't give my father a dagger to let my father use it to hurt himself." Li Pin said seriously that when he saw Li Hao for the first time, he frightened her like that.

"As long as Pin'er is by my side, I won't hurt myself, Pin'er won't leave me, right!" Li Hao said pitifully.

"Of course I'm not going to leave my father." Li Pin looked at Li Hao's appearance, and nodded his head almost as a ghost.

But he said that when Situ Qing left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he immediately ate an antidote pill, and then looked at Yu Nuan with an unhappy face: "You all go and serve the prince's brother!" Yu Nuan stayed, I don't have anything to do here. ”

A group of palace maids and eunuchs agreed to hurriedly go to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to curry favor with His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone knew that the prince was the future prince, and he couldn't ask for the opportunity to get close to him.

"Say it! What's going on? Situ Qing looked at Yu Nuan and asked.

"I just inserted the wooden hairpin stained with arsenic into that dish, the maid was greedy and ate it, and died, and the maid in the prime minister's mansion died because of eating the vegetables, so naturally it was necessary to investigate thoroughly, and the palace maid was broken and hid poison, so naturally she couldn't hide it." Yu Nuan's tone was a little proud, she had successfully gotten rid of the palace maid.

"Yu Nuan, you are too ruthless to do this, if the maid did not eat it secretly, then it may not be a minister or relative who ate that dish, and there will be chaos in the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time." Situ Qing said with a straight face, obviously dissatisfied with what Yu Nuan did.

"Wouldn't it be better if the Prime Minister's Mansion was in turmoil, then the palace maid would have no chance to escape, and what would be the death of an irrelevant person? Besides, it's just a little maid who is dead now. Yu Nuan said indifferently.

"I will transfer you from the court to my palace, don't worry." Situ Qing was surprised by Yu Nuan's ruthlessness, she didn't care about human life so much, and the little girl's life was also innocent, so she became more and more determined to put her under her own eyelids to prevent her from harming others.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince." When Yu Nuan heard this, she was naturally very happy in her heart, she would go up step by step, and now it was just the beginning.

Situ Qing looked at Yu Nuan and felt annoyed in his heart, and wanted to send her down, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Situ Qing covered his abdomen with his painful hands, his whole body arched, his face was pale, and he couldn't stop breaking out in a cold sweat.

Seeing Situ Qing's appearance, Yu Nuan also panicked: "Second prince, second prince, what's wrong with you?" Yu Nuan was anxiously spinning, he couldn't have an accident, if something happened to the second prince, who would take her out of the court! She didn't want to stay in there for the rest of her life.

"My stomach hurts, I think I'm poisoned?" Situ Qing said with all his strength.

"Poisoned? How come, the antidote pill, the second prince just ate the antidote pill, there must be something wrong with the antidote pill, I didn't expect Miss Li to kill the second prince, aren't she friends with the second prince? Yu Nuan immediately thought of the antidote pill that the second prince had just eaten, and hated Li Pin in her heart, if she harmed the second prince, it would be to cut off her own path to prosperity, how not to hate.

"Nonsense, it won't be Pin'er, send me back to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly." Although he didn't know what was going on, Situ Qing just believed that it would not be Li Pin's poison, and now it was the best policy to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to detoxify.

"Second prince, if it's really Miss Li, aren't you going back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to fall into the mouth of a tiger?" Yu Nuan obviously disagreed, and retorted loudly.

"Take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion." And Situ Qing obviously had made up his mind, Yu Nuan had no choice but to carry Situ Qing back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but fortunately, they had just left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there was not much distance.

Situ Qing endured severe pain until he saw the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he could no longer support it and fainted.
