Chapter 286
"Don't drop such a good herb!" Doctor He took Li Zi's medicine box with an expressionless face. ~
Gonggong Gao smiled wryly, but was not angry, and said in a flattering tone: "Then leave it to Mrs. He......"
Taiyi He didn't leave Grandpa Gao, turned around and left, walked two steps and looked back at Li Zi and asked, "Which pharmacy are you?" ”
Li Zi ran over and introduced his shop very enthusiastically, but Mrs. He saw that he was too enthusiastic and a little impatient, so after writing down the name of the store, he turned around and left.
"You come with me." Gao Gonggong came over to pull Li Zi and Qingqing at this time, and his attitude was obviously much worse than that of Taiyi He before.
Li Zi glanced at Qingqing, and obediently followed Gonggong Gao to a quiet room.
"Who let you in?" Gonggong Gao is not an ordinary little eunuch, and it is not so easy to ignore the past when Li Zi and Qingqing suddenly broke into the palace.
"This is for Grandpa Gao." Li Zi took out a box from his arms and handed it to Father-in-law Gao, "This is a rare old ginseng, we finally got it, and we thought of giving it to you as soon as possible." This just happened to be a new medicinal material, so I came to ask my father-in-law if you needed it. ”
Li Zi directly ignored Gonggong Gao's suspicions, and his expression and tone were very sincere.
Seeing Li Zi's honest appearance, Father-in-law Gao hesitated for a moment, but still opened the box. After seeing the ginseng inside, the expression on his face finally loosened a little. But he still said to Li Ziyan: "This is the palace, not the outside market, and it's not something you can come in and visit if you want to...... Next time without my permission. You are not allowed to enter the palace casually, you know? If someone finds out, I won't be able to protect you. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, we all know it, there will never be a next time." Li Zi patted his chest and promised, and said very scared, "That adult just now was really fierce, scared me to death......"
"He ......," Gao Gonggong tugged at the corners of his mouth. Didn't speak. To Mrs. Ho. He had never been too lazy to say anything.
Seeing that Grandpa Gao didn't answer at all. Li Zi had no choice but to continue to ask, "Why did I seem to hear that someone in the palace was sick just now?" Is it very strict? Rush that adult like that? ”
"It's not Princess Rou'an yet...... "Gonggong Gao was still looking at the ginseng, and he didn't notice that what he said to Li Zi was not suitable, and said by the way, "I don't know if this is the case." I hadn't seen him care much about Princess Joan before. This time, I can't do it in a hurry. But. This time, Princess Rou'an is really sick. It's hard to say if you can get through it......"
"Huh?" Li Zi was taken aback, "What's wrong with the princess?" What's wrong? ”
Maybe Li Zi's tone was too concerned. made Gonggong Gao wake up from his own world, and instead of continuing, he glanced at Li Zi with suspicion in his eyes: "Why are you so concerned about the princess's affairs?" ”
"Where do I have a heart for the princess?" Li Zi laughed twice. "I don't even know who the princess is, it's just that I ...... things in this palace."
"Don't inquire more about the affairs in the palace, the more you know, the less good it will be for you. Beware that the gossip is not listened to, but loses your life. Father-in-law Gao threatened Li Zi and was a little impatient, "Okay, you guys go out of the palace quickly, don't delay here." Recently, the palace has not been peaceful, and the sky is about to change...... You remember. Don't come in, I'll send someone to fetch the herbs. ”
Li Zi and Qingqing were helpless, and it seemed that they couldn't ask any useful clues from Gonggong Gao's mouth, so in order not to arouse his suspicion, the two of them had to say goodbye obediently.
After leaving the Tai Hospital, Li Zi and Qingqing still wanted to find someone to inquire about the situation again. But when I was around a corner, I saw two people coming towards me. Look at the dress, it doesn't look like a subordinate.
"Let's ......" Before Li Zi's words were finished, he saw Qingqing turn around and run away as if he had encountered something terrifying.
"Hey......" Li Zi was stunned. I didn't care about the two people, and I ran in the direction of Qingqing.
Qingqing ran a long way by herself, and was finally caught by Li Zi: "What are you doing?" This is the palace, you run like this. Don't you want to die? ”
Li Zi lowered his voice, he was very angry, he was also tired, but more worried.
"Do you know who those two are just now?" Qingqing took a breath and made sure that no one was following him, before he asked with a panicked face.
"How do I know?" Li Zi said strangely. "There are so many people in this palace, how can I know them all?"
"The woman is Mu Qingyao, and the man is the second prince." Qingqing said in a low voice, "Mu Qingge knows me, if we are discovered by them, we will die." ”
Li Zi then remembered that Qingqing had been a servant girl by Mu Qingyao's side before. At that time, Mu Qingge was promised to go. Thinking about that time, Mu Qingge still asked Qingqing to help Mu Qingyao in order to help Mu Qingyao. But now, what did Mu Qingyao do to Mu Qingge?
However, Li Zi also knows very well that Mu Qingyao hates Qingqing to death. If she really found Qingqing, then Qingqing would really be dead.
"Okay, it's okay, they didn't chase after me." Li Zi comforted Qingqing, "Let's leave the palace first now, it's too dangerous." ”
Qingqing nodded, followed Li Zi, and left the palace cautiously, but there was no trouble behind it, and the two of them really let go of their hearts.
But what Li Zi and Qingqing didn't know was that from the beginning, they were being targeted.
Mu Qingyao and Shang Qichao originally didn't find Qingqing and Li Zi, but when the two of them ran away, they attracted the attention of Mu Qingyao and Shang Qichao.
"Are we that scary? When you see us, turn around and run? Shang Qichao said helplessly, but he didn't think much about it.
Mu Qingyao frowned: "No, I always feel that girl is very familiar." ”
"Familiar? Do you know that? Then I shouldn't run away when I see you? Shang Qichao didn't care very much, and replied casually.
"That's why it's weird...... However, I really can't remember who it is now, it's strange......" Mu Qingyao frowned. Caught up in memories.
"Forget it, a girl, what's the big deal, what if you don't know it? Let's go, it's important to get down to business. Shang Qichao pulled Mu Qingyao and signaled her not to think about it.
"That's right...... Mu Qingyao took two steps and stopped, "If it's really a girl who knows us, why do you have to run away when you see us?" There must be something wrong with the instructions...... No, I'll have to go with me......"
Mu Qingyao finished speaking. followed in the direction that Li Zi and Qingqing ran away. Shang Qichao was stunned for a moment. Thinking of what Mu Qingge said, it also makes sense. Ordinary subordinates. When I saw them, I just asked for peace, why did I run? Moreover, those two people, look dressed. It doesn't look like a person in the palace. Shang Qichao's heart became vigilant. He does a lot of things. Always worried about leaks. A lot of times, it's overly sensitive.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look. There is only this way here that is best to hide, they must go this way......" Shang Qichao also followed Mu Qingyao, but he had already decided in his heart, no matter who it was. If there is really a problem, you can't keep your mouth alive.
Mu Qingyao and Shang Qichao are two people, and their speed is naturally not as fast as Li Zi and Qingqing. By the time they found Li Zi and Qingqing, Li Zi and Qingqing had already decided to leave. Mu Qingyao motioned to Shang Qi to stay out of the way, and cautiously followed behind, but was surprised to find that they were about to leave the palace.
"Do you know each other?" Shang Qichao knew that something must be wrong when he looked at the demeanor of the two, and he was already ready to start, but he was stopped by Mu Qingyao, so he asked in a low voice.
"Acquaintance." Mu Qingyao snorted coldly and said. "Who shall I be? It turned out to be her. I couldn't find it after looking for so long, but I didn't want to run into ...... here."
"Who? Looking at you like this, it looks like you have a deep hatred. Shang Qichao was a little curious.
"A handmaiden of mine from before." Mu Qingyao said hatefully.
"Handmaiden?" Shang Qichao was stunned, how could a maid make Mu Qingyao hate like this?
"It's my maidservant, but it should be the eyeliner that someone else has placed next to me......" Mu Qingyao's eyes revealed obvious hatred, "This girl is clever, and she knew that she was exposed, so she ran away early." I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. In the end, God has eyes, and let me touch her again. ”
"Then why are you holding me back? Should they just be arrested? Shang Qichao was not very interested in the grievances between Mu Qingyao and the maidservant, and he was also a little puzzled by Mu Qingyao's approach.
"Think about it, she came to me to do eyeliner. Someone must have instructed it, right? Mu Qingyao stared at the direction of Qingqing and Li Zi, and explained to Shang Qichao, "Then who is the person behind her?" Why do you want to put eyeliner next to me? ”
Shang Qichao didn't speak, he wasn't interested in this. In their families, isn't it normal to put eyeliner around others? Mu Qingyao put the person next to others. Is it less?
"I mean, at that time, I was with you...... It doesn't matter yet...... Mu Qingyao also knew Shang Qichao's thoughts, and continued, "So, it is unlikely that the person who instructed that girl could be someone from the palace." Then it's strange, how could that girl appear in the palace? And swaggering. Looking at her dress, she doesn't look like a palace maid in the palace, don't you think it's a little strange? ”
The last sentence finally made Shang Qichao look at Mu Qingyao with a sense of identity in his heart: "Then what do you mean?" You see, they have already arrived at the gate of the palace, and they want to leave the palace, and if they don't make a move, they won't have a chance? Now that we've arrested people, can't we ask for anything? ”
"Find someone to follow them." Mu Qingyao shook her head, "I still know a little bit about that girl, and now that I catch her, she will definitely not say anything." The palace is not a bazaar, and it's not something they can just come in and stroll around. They wouldn't have been able to come in without anything. Since they are here, there must be something to do, and if you follow them, you may be able to find the master behind them. ”
Shang Qichao moved his lips and did not speak, unable to tell whether he agreed or opposed Mu Qingyao's approach. Mu Qingyao glanced at Shang Qichao and said, "Actually, I suspect that the master behind that girl is Mu Qingge." Mu Qingge is not in Mufu now, she is talking about going to the Kong family, but in fact, she is not in the Kong family. So where can she go? Someone saw that she went to the Three Princes' Mansion......"
Shang Qichao finally nodded: "I sent someone to follow them, and I am asking people to check what they are doing when they enter the palace." ”
Qingqing and Li Zi returned to the store all the way with trepidation, and there were no accidents. While I was relieved, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"How?" Li Huan and the others were impatient to wait for a long time. Seeing the two coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
Li Zi and Qingqing didn't have time to care about the discomfort in their hearts, and told everything in the palace, and finally concluded: "It seems that those rumors should be true." Princess Rou'an is sick, and she is very strict. The queen is afraid that it is not very good, because Gao Gonggong said that the sky is going to change. ”
Li Huan was not very satisfied with this result, after all, he had not really found evidence. But at this point, he still decided to go and talk to Mu Qingge first. See what they have to say.
"Go with you. See if they have anything else to ask. Li Huan decided to take Qingqing and Li Zi together.
It was already dark. Li Huan symbolically took the medicinal herbs and took Qingqing and Li Zi all the way to the Three Princes' Mansion.
Mu Qingge was waiting anxiously here, and when he heard that Li Huan had arrived, he hurriedly greeted him.
No greetings. As soon as the two parties meet. directly talked about the things in the palace. Mu Qingge stood up when he heard this: "From what you mean. Doctor He can't do anything about Princess Rou'an's illness? ”
Shang Qirui saw that Mu Qingge didn't listen to anything else at all. As soon as I heard about Princess Rou'an, I was anxious, knowing the bottom of her heart. still put Princess Rou'an's body first, and I was also moved in my heart.
"Probably like this......" Li Zi and Qingqing glanced at each other and nodded.
"No, I have to go into the palace to have a look." Mu Qingge finished speaking. I wanted to get out.
"Wait a minute." Shang Qirui grabbed Mu Qingge.
Mu Qingge looked back at Shang Qirui, a little incredulous.
Shang Qirui understood what she meant, that was your sister, didn't you save her?
Shang Qirui sighed and said, "If you go in now, can you enter the palace?" ”
Mu Qingge was stunned, she didn't know what to say, yes, she couldn't get in.
"I'm going to go anyway. Can't let the princess ......" Mu Qingge didn't finish speaking, Princess Rou'an couldn't have an accident, this was her true thought in her heart.
"I'll go with you." Shang Qirui said, standing with Mu Qingge.
"Your Highness, Miss......" Zhimo suddenly spoke, and Ding Mo pulled aside, but he couldn't stop Zhimo from speaking.
"If you have any opinions, just say them." Shang Qirui and Mu Qingge looked at Zhimo and signaled that he might as well speak directly if he had something to say.
"That's what the little one thinks...... His Majesty has never been very ...... to Princess Rou'an I care. If, I mean if, it's just one of the Majesty's ...... You are so impulsive to save the princess, will you anger Your Majesty? Instead, he took the initiative to kill Rou Angong? ”
Zhimo lowered his head after speaking, these words were not what he should have said in the first place.
But what Zhimo said is not wrong, such things are not uncommon. Many times self-righteous people do the good of others, but they end up harming others.
The atmosphere was quiet and a little eerie.
"Otherwise, let the little advanced palace go and explore......" Zhimo looked up again.
"Your Highness......" There was another voice at the door. Sounds a little anxious.
"Come in and talk." Shang Qirui heard that it was the secret guard in the mansion, and he was also surprised in his heart, the secret guard was not light.
"Your Highness......" the guard knelt on the ground as soon as he entered the door, "someone is following." ”
spoke very concisely, Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, and then he understood the meaning of the secret guard who came over, and dared to be Li Huan when they came, they were followed.
"What about people?" Shang Qirui obviously reacted much faster, frowned deeply, and asked the most critical question.
"The villain should be damned, the man was injured, but he still ran away." The dark guard bowed his head, looking very cruel.
"That looks like a very powerful character, huh?" Ding Mo said in surprise on the side, "Injured under your hands, can you escape?" ”
The dark guard's expression was even more ashamed, and he didn't speak.
"Tell me first, what's going on?" Shang Qirui calmed down and asked. In the past, it was not that no one secretly spied around the Prince's Mansion to spy on them, but under normal circumstances, it was not very threatening, and Shang Qirui would not care about them. But today's one, obviously, is a master.
The secret guard's statement was still concise, he saw that someone was following Li Huan and them, so he wanted to capture that person, but he underestimated the strength of the stalker, and although he hurt him, he couldn't leave anyone behind.
"However, looking at his martial arts, it seems that he has been specially trained, and our methods are ...... It's something like ......," the Dark Guard said last.
Martial arts are divided into sects, and each faction has its own unique moves. But there are people with special training, such as killers. For example, killers like them don't have a certain faction of martial arts tricks. However, they have their own habitual methods.
Therefore, the identity of that stalker may be similar to the identity of the dark guard. Shang Qirui's brows furrowed even tighter, ordinary people, where could they raise any killer secret guards? And the general killer guards also have no grudges of their own, they only help others do things. So, the identity of the tracker. Actually, the scope is not large. It's just that. How could they target Li Huan and them so quickly?
Qingqing and Li Zi only realized at this time that the person who was following them had come with them. But before their store was open for so long, nothing happened. So, most likely...... Li Zi and Qingqing glanced at each other. They all regretted it in each other's eyes.
"I'm sorry. It's our fault......" Qingqing knelt down first. looked at Mu Qingge, "We were careless, I didn't expect to be followed......"
"What's going on?" Mu Qingge was wondering. How can it be tracked. Qingqing had just said that Princess Rou'an was sick before, and Mu Qingge couldn't help it, so he didn't have time to talk about the rest of the matter. Seeing Qingqing and Li Zi like this, he was a little surprised, and hurriedly wanted to help Qingqing up, "I'll talk about it when I have something." ”
Qingqing knelt down and didn't move, and told them about their encounter with Mu Qingyao and Shang Qichao in the palace. At the end, he was ashamed and said, "We should have known a long time ago that we wouldn't be so easy to dodge." We were so careless that we didn't expect to be followed......"
"You get up first." Mu Qingge pulled Qingqing to stand up, her brows were also tightly furrowed, not because of Qingqing and Li Zi, but because of Mu Qingyao's relationship, "Mu Qingyao, she must have recognized you......"
"Yes, they ...... us" Shang Qirui showed a strange smile, "Even if it is not your business, they will spy on us, so, it has nothing to do with you." It's because of our affairs that you are in danger......"
"By the way......" Mu Qingge suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Shang Qirui's words, "In this case, Brother Li, wouldn't they be exposed?" So, will they be in danger...... Your Highness ......"
"I'll send someone over to take a look at it immediately...... Shang Qirui immediately understood what Mu Qingge meant, and without stopping at all, he immediately asked Ding Mo to take someone to take a look.
Li Huan and the three of them were stunned by their quick reaction, and waited until Ding Mo left before they came back to their senses. I even felt that I couldn't help it: "We didn't think it through, and it affected you, and you still protect us like this......"
"Actually, it's all my fault." Mu Qingge also regretted it, "If I hadn't asked you to help, you wouldn't have been targeted by them...... Their means...... You can't handle it, I really didn't expect to pull you into this troubled water......"
Mu Qingge really regretted it, she never wanted Li Huan and them to be involved in those battles, but now, it seems that not only is it involved, but it is also not shallow, it is really careless.
"If Miss says that, we really ......" Li Huan was moved and sad, "You are our benefactor, no matter what you want us to do, we will never give up." But if you say that, I can only think that we are really useless......"
"Alright, you all don't fight. In fact, everyone is the same, they are all worried about each other. Shang Qirui comforted the people on both sides, "Since this is the case, then everyone will take care of each other with one heart in the future." ”
Mu Qingge also came to his senses, he was too anxious, and his words might make people sad, so when he heard Shang Qirui say this, he followed suit. But in my heart, I was very worried about the safety of Sister-in-law Li.
Fortunately, Ding Mo quickly sent back the news, saying that there was no movement over there, and no one was harassing him.
Slightly relieved, but Mu Qingge and Shang Qirui were still not very relieved.
"They may just haven't had time to do it yet, and now that you've been exposed, there's no way they'll let you go, so you have to be careful." Shang Qirui thought for a moment and said, "I will send a few people over and secretly hide in your store in case of emergency." ”
"How does this work?" Li Huan disagreed, "You all need manpower very much now, how can you ...... for the sake of protection?" Most of us know some martial arts, and self-preservation is not a problem......"
"No, you don't know the viciousness of those people......" Shang Qirui still insisted that Zhimo pick a few people who were clever and very good at martial arts, and went to Li Huan's shop. (To be continued.) )
