Chapter 232: In Front of the Old Hall (2)
Li Zhi didn't even bother to turn his head back, only moved his foot and cleared a way for her to walk by. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "Gu Niangzi is now responsible for the country's economy and politics, and time is precious, how can she spend time on finding things for people and other palace maids?" ”
When Feng Ling walked by, he also coldly gave this sentence with a gun and a stick.
Feng Ling is long in the market, and has a strong nature, how can he allow people to provoke in front of him, but it just so happened that because of the deep reproach in front of the Liangyi Palace, her heart was not happy, she simply stopped, stood on the stone steps and made a formal salute to Li Zhi: "Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, Feng Ling is a daughter, she has made meritorious contributions, and she has nothing to do with me." Such tireless work and dedication to taxation and business regardless of danger and difficulties is not for the sake of our Tang Dynasty army to have abundant military resources and sweep the territory of the four seas. Feng Ling said something that defied the world's disapproval, in the end, it was your Li family who came from all over the world to Zhenwei in all directions, after all, it was your Li family, what could I do with my family? ”
Li Zhi finally raised his eyes from the stone steps and turned to the wind spirit: "Although your words are good, why are you confessing?" Do you want my Li family to give you a grand thanks? ”
"The wind spirit doesn't dare to be." She bent her knees and turned to step up the stairs. With a breath of resentment in her chest, she turned around too neatly, and her steps were so bold that she didn't notice the bulge on the steps, and the bulge tripped her when she lost her soul last time.
The wind spirit's body leaned forward, and the embarrassment was about to fall.
Suddenly, an arm reached out from the side and grabbed her arm. This handful is heavy and stiff, and I don't feel the slightest kindness. Feng Ling used this strength to stabilize his body, wondering how Li Zhi was kind enough to let go of the opportunity to see her make a fool of herself. She was stunned for a moment, and when she realized that she should thank the prince, she bent her knees.
"You don't have to thank me." Li Zhi said coldly: "This stone step has caused a big disaster because of the bulge here, and it has been 18 years, and no one has come to repair and level it. ”
Feng Ling's heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered the situation when he tripped last time, and vaguely thought about a fall when he was a child, and the white scar on his knee seemed to be faintly throbbing.
She stretched out one foot and stepped on the bulge, and raised the small cracks around it, as if to say to herself, "Yes, a solid ramming has broken the stone steps, and it has not been tamped, and it is very stubborn." ”
"Say that to me again!" Li Zhi's calm eyes suddenly brightened, and he stepped forward to grab the wind spirit who was about to leave. "What rammed, what broken, you tell me clearly. Who told you about this? ”
The excitement of the wind spirit teaching him for no reason was startled, and she took two steps back, but her arm was grabbed by him again, and she had to lean back obliquely, as far away from him as possible: "Your Highness may not believe it, but you can only say it as the wind spirit dream." Last year, Feng Ling also tripped here, and since then he feels that this stone step is very familiar, as if he had fallen once when he was young, and he fell not lightly, and there are still scars on his legs and knees. ”
In order to prove that what she said was true, she also deliberately lifted her skirt and showed him the scar on her knee. Li Zhi has been deeply taught by the palace rules and etiquette since he was a child, and he has never seen such a casual woman who dares to show her skin in front of people without any scruples about men and women. He hurriedly glanced at the scar that was indeed there, then let go of the hand that was holding her arm, and said eagerly, "Go on." ”
Feng Ling rubbed his arm, rolled his eyes a few times in his heart, and continued: "It seems that someone raised a heavy hammer to smash this stone step, saying that it would be tamped flat, but the protrusion was not leveled, and the stone step cracked. Later, later ......"
"What happened? What does that man look like? Li Zhi asked more and more urgently.
"I don't remember what that man looked like, but I remember that he was not very old, he was not tall, and he was probably a child. I really don't remember what happened after......" Feng Ling frowned, and used all her strength to recall, but the more she thought about those things, the more blurred they became, and when she thought about it further, it seemed to become an illusion that was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and as before, she wondered if those scenes really existed, or if they were a dream from her childhood.
Li Zhi glanced back and saw that she was alone, and she didn't see the palace maid, so he asked in a low voice, "Let me ask you, do you know where Prince Yin's leg disease came from?" ”
"Hidden ...... Prince Yin ......, "Feng Ling didn't sleep last night, and his head was already swollen and messy at this moment, and he was disturbed by Li Zhi only to feel that the sky was dark in his head, "Which Prince Yin?" ”
"The one who was deposed and demoted from Beijing a few years ago, and died in Qianzhou three years ago, the eldest brother of this palace." Li Zhi's eyes were locked on Feng Ling's face, as if the answer was about to come out of her mouth.
Feng Ling shook his head again and again, and said in his heart that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not crazy, and asked about some forbidden Chinese language. She took a few steps back, looked at the steps, picked up her skirt and ran, and said, "Where will the wind spirit know this, this place is dirty, His Highness looks tired, it's time to go back and rest." ”
Li Zhiben wanted to catch up and ask again, but Feng Ling's posture was dexterous, and his movements were as fast as a civet cat. If she really wanted to escape, Li Zhi knew that he couldn't stop her at all. Moreover, he already has the answer to what he wants to know, so why bother to dig into it. He watched her back as she jumped into the temple door, stepped lightly on the bulge on the stone steps, and turned back to leave.
The wind spirit jumped through the blackened and broken gate in one breath and went straight into the hall. Looking back, fortunately, the prince did not follow him to ask. When she found the small dagger in the ground, and when she went out again, Li Zhi was gone.
Feng Ling didn't want to think deeply about what kind of hysteria he had, so he came to the half-burned Zhaoqing Hall for no reason, and said such strange and inexplicable words, which left and right his dignity, and the entire Tang Dynasty would be his in the future, not to mention a small Zhaoqing Palace. Feng Ling was really tired, rubbed his eyebrows that were a little swollen and painful, and staggered to Luming Garden to rest.
Xu was extremely tired, and when he slept this night, he was not stable. Feng Ling always dreams in his shallow sleep: the scars on his legs and knees are tingling, he is clearly aggrieved and afraid of pain, and he refuses to shed a tear because of the pain on his tender lips...... The same immature hand took her hand with one hand, and dragged the heavy black iron hammer with the other, saying that he would tamp the stone steps for her...... The sledgehammer fell, and the movement became a loud noise in her ears as a young child, but the strange thing was that the muffled sound of the sledgehammer landing was not too loud at all, why did it sound to her a hundred times louder than the blasting rod that burned in the New Year's Festival.
The sound shook her head and woke her up. Feng Lingqi sat up from the couch, and in the second half of the night, I don't know which palace person closed the window lattice for her, and the heat in the room was difficult to dissipate, so stuffy that she couldn't breathe.
She touched the clothes and hair of her sweat **, got off the bed and went to open the window. It has been a few days since the sun was seen in July, and the full moon had lost a large piece, but it was not lost, and the cold moonlight was mixed with a trace of coolness in the night breeze, which made people irritable and frustrated.
