Chapter 128: Cool Water Cleansing
Li Che said lightly: "Since it was taken away, it can't be counted as you taking it, since you handed over the lantern to that person, you should know that there will be such consequences." ”
Liu Xuan was silent when she heard this, she knew that Li Che was deliberately doing this because of that Jin Yi confessing to her in public, she had to puff out her cheeks and silently watch Sun Xun take the lanterns and count them, and she didn't need to look at the results to know how to beat Sun Xun and Li Che with the five lanterns in Cao Ying's hands alone.
Li Che raised his eyebrows when he saw her puffing cheeks, and asked lightly, "What, don't accept it?" ”
Liu Xuan snorted, and said a little bit of gritted teeth: "Serve!" It's very good! ”
"It's good to take it." Li Che nodded lightly: "Don't forget about betting." After saying this, he walked downstairs, Liu Xuan had to look at his back and grind his teeth secretly, and Liu Zhiqing on the side asked her curiously, "What kind of bet did you make with your master?" Unexpectedly, let the master treat him so seriously? ”
Liu Xuan threw him a big white eye, and said angrily: "Ask your sinister, cunning and stingy master." ”
After speaking, she stomped her feet and went downstairs, Liu Zhiqing touched her nose and wondered: "I just won the lantern for her, and she treats me like this?" ”
Sun Xun patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, let's go, the master has been angry today, and he finally won the bet, and this anger has dissipated a lot, you should be glad that it is." ”
Cao Ying on the side also smiled and said: "When Liu Gongzi was immersed in the lantern riddles, he missed a good show. ”
Liu Zhiqing was interested when he heard it, and he followed Sun Xun and Cao Ying downstairs, just about to ask what the show was. But after realizing it, he found that Long Yi was gone, and immediately asked Sun Xun: "Where is Long Yi?" Why, I just solved a riddle and he was gone. ”
Sun Xun looked at Li Che and Liu Xuan, who were walking away in front of him, and lowered his voice to Liu Zhiqing's ear to tell him what happened before. He smiled and smiled, but his face suddenly changed: "No, you said that the man's name is Jin Yi?" ”
Sun Xun nodded: "Exactly." ”
Liu Zhiqing suddenly frowned: "It's not good!" How did he come? ”
Seeing him like this, Sun Xun couldn't help but wonder: "Do you know that Jin Yi?" ”
Liu Zhiqing wanted to say something, but when she saw Cao Ying on the side, she closed her mouth again, and only said lightly: "I've heard of this person's name, and you'll know it in the evening." ”
Sun Xun and Liu Zhiqing have been together since childhood, and a tacit understanding has long been formed over the years, looking at Liu Zhiqing's expression, he knows what kind of special person Jin Yiding is. It's just that Cao Ying is not present and can't say it clearly. He nodded and didn't ask again.
It was already a little late after coming out of the teahouse, and at this moment the snow began to fall in the sky, so everyone returned to Yipinxiang, and then each took a carriage back to his house.
Liu Xuan was still riding in the same carriage as Li Che. Tomorrow is going to be the morning court. In addition, Long Yi was ordered to chase Jin Yi. Liu Xuan thought that Li Che would definitely return to the Prince's Mansion tonight, but she never thought that he would get out of the carriage with her after sending her to Liu's Mansion.
Liu Xuan's surprise was written on his face, but Li Che snorted lightly: "Lone is just here to ask for a gambling contract." ”
Liu Xuan was a little depressed: "When I made a bet with you." Didn't you say that if I lose, I will go to the prince's mansion and wait for you to sleep? Why did you come to my house? ”
Li Che's deep eyes looked at her with a slight cold color in the cold night: "Gu found that your reputation is still too good, and someone dares to provoke Yu Gu in front of you knowing your identity, so let everyone know that you are already a lonely person." ”
When Liu Xuan heard this, she immediately took a step back, obviously frightened, and she squeaked, "I...... I don't want to ......"
"What do you think Lone will do?" Li Che's face became even colder when he looked at her, and he snorted heavily: "Lone promised that you would wait until the wedding, don't you wait too long for your appearance?!" ”
After he finished speaking, he snorted heavily, and walked straight towards the mansion without waiting for Liu Xuan to answer.
Liu Xuan blinked her eyes and hurriedly followed, she said behind him: "Soon, soon, it won't be long before the wedding." She said a few words again and again, for fear that Li Che would change her mind in anger.
Li Che was stunned when he heard her words, and then flicked his sleeves and walked out again, Liu Xuan was a little baffled by his capriciousness, and stood in place and asked, "Are you going back to the Prince's Mansion?" ”
Li Che didn't look back, but the clear voice came: "If you think it's too long, you can stay alone." ”
Liu Xuan immediately closed her mouth when she heard this, and watched him walk out of the gate of Liu's mansion.
It wasn't until the sound of the carriage could no longer be heard that Liu Xuan breathed a long sigh of relief, Qiu Ju and Dongmei had already greeted her, and both of them looked at Liu Xuan with a snicker: "It seems that His Highness really can't bear it for long." ”
Liu Xuan's face immediately turned red when she heard this, she snorted and didn't answer, and went straight back to the courtyard.
After washing, Liu Xuan lay on the bed and couldn't help but start thinking about what happened today, that Jin Yi was a little strange, with Long Yi's ability, he should be able to catch him back soon, not to mention that he had just gone downstairs with his front foot, and Long Yi chased him out with his hind foot,
Long Yi is Li Che's shadow, inseparable from Li Che, if he catches someone, he will definitely come back to see Li Che, but until Li Che and her return to Liu's mansion, he has never seen Long Yi's shadow.
There is only one possibility in this situation, and that is that Long Yi did not catch the man named Jin Yi.
She has seen Long Yi's ability with her own eyes, not to mention that when he was in Hangzhou, Deng Yu also said that it would take several days for him to get rid of Long Yi, but in the blink of an eye, Jin Yi could disappear under Long Yi's skin, so that he had searched for so long and never caught it, this Jin Yi was definitely not an ordinary person.
Thinking about Jin Yi's words, Liu Xuan's intuition of the word "outside the plug" is very important, and it was only after hearing about the outside that Li Che's face changed and he ordered Jin Yi to be arrested. Thinking about Jin Yi's deep facial features again, Liu Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling, isn't that Jin Yi a person from Liao? !
Liaoguo!
The word Liao Guo appeared in Liu Xuan's mind, and she immediately sat up from the bed, although Li Che had promised her that she would definitely capture She Huanxue back, but she was not seen for a day. The thorn in her heart will not disappear for a day, this thorn not only stings her heart, but also stings her love!
So much so that when she felt that Li Che was good to her, she still had no way to be calm, Li Che asked her to believe him, but how dare she believe it! How can you believe!
It was only at this moment that she understood that the reason why she was always reluctant to marry Li Che in her heart was not just because of her persistence for many years, but more importantly, because of the thorn in her heart. She deliberately ignored it, deliberately didn't think about it. It's not that she wants to forget. But every time I think of her, my heart hurts.
She thought that Li Che must also understand, so she let her drag out the marriage, so she said what she wanted to believe him. He saw more clearly than she could see. Even knows her better than herself.
Liu Xuan sat there stunned. Looking out the window, it was as white as her face at the moment.
Sun Xu and Liu Zhiqing thought that Li Che would seek out their discussions. But when they separated, they didn't hear any instructions from Li Che, so the two of them went back to the house in their own carriages, but they just got off the carriage and were told that Li Che was looking for them, so they had to get into the carriage again and come to the prince's mansion.
Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun went to the study of the prince's mansion before and after, but found that Li Che was not there, and the father-in-law of the little pillar showed a bitter face on the side: "Wait a while, Your Highness is bathing." ”
Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun both felt strange, in the past, if Li Che was looking for them to discuss matters, he must have been in the study early, but today they came, but he was bathing.
Xiao Zhuzi looked at the doubts of the two of them, and said lightly and quietly: "On such a cold day, His Highness is taking a shower with cold water, hoping that it will not be harmful to his body." ”
Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun looked at each other the same, and they knew a little in their hearts, they were not worried that Li Che would hurt his body by bathing in cold water, Li Che had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and this martial arts was not inferior to Long Yi, even if he took a shower with cold water in this cold winter, it would not hurt him half a point, and the two were worried about another thing.
Sun Xun asked Xiao Zhuzi slightly, "How long has it been since Your Highness recruited someone to sleep?" ”
Seeing that the two of them finally asked the point, Xiao Zhuzi took two steps forward and whispered to the two: "I haven't been to the backyard since I came back from Beijing, and I haven't hired anyone to sleep, and now it's been about four or five months." ”
Sun Xun was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then he showed a wry smile with relief, Liu Zhiqing knew about this, and only stood aside and did not open his mouth.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Xiao Zhuzi couldn't help but wonder a little, he was slightly worried: "Why don't you persuade the master, although the master didn't care about women in the past, but when he was in Beijing, he would recruit people to sleep a few times in a month, but since the last time he returned to Beijing, he suddenly stopped recruiting people to sleep, how can it be good if he goes on like this, and His Royal Highness has never had an heir until now, although the princess has not yet entered the palace, it is a little inappropriate to have an heir, but if you can have an heir, it is also a happy event, isn't it?" ”
Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun listened to Xiao Zhuzi's words, but they still didn't open their mouths, and Xiao Zhu was a little anxious: "Both of you are close ministers of Your Highness, why don't you persuade Your Highness to use cold water to clean your body in the cold like now, why is it so painful?" ”
Sun Xun sighed: "Your Highness has an idea in your heart, how can we persuade it, after His Highness's wedding, you must not worry about the little pillar." ”
Xiao Zhuzi heard this and was a little disappropriated, and was about to speak, but Liu Zhiqing, who heard it on the side, said with a smile: "The left and right will not really suffocate people, Your Highness has not been like this for more than ten years before, you put your heart back in your stomach, our Royal Highness is in good health, even if you clean yourself with cold water every day, it will not hurt him half a point, if you really want to share your worries for Your Highness, you should think about how to let my righteous sister marry into the prince's mansion as soon as possible, this is the right thing." ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Zhu also sighed: "What do you think Miss Liu thinks?" If it was an ordinary woman, she would have been happily married, but she always pushed, our Royal Highness has a noble status, and her appearance is also excellent, and she really loves her, but she is always unmoved. ”
Sun Xun listened to Xiao Zhuzi's words and showed a smile, he patted Xiao Zhuzi's shoulder and said with a smile: "It is precisely because she is different from ordinary women that His Highness will treat her like this." ”
"What a woman." Li Che's clear voice came, Liu Zhiqing and the others turned their heads and saw Li Che striding over, the small pillar immediately retreated to the side, and Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun saluted Li Che.
Li Che replied lightly, sat down behind the desk, he didn't start the discussion, but said to the little pillar: "Go to the Internal Affairs Mansion and send the style of the crown princess's wedding dress to the Liu Mansion." ”
Xiao Zhuzi was surprised when he heard it: "The princess's wedding dress is very cumbersome, and it has always been made by the internal affairs government, and since ancient times, there has been no time when the princess embroidered the wedding dress, isn't this a little unreasonable?" ”
Li Che glanced at Xiao Zhuzi, and his voice was a little cold: "You just have to do it, if she wants to embroider the wedding dress herself, let her stay in the house and embroider slowly, so as not to go out and cause some trouble." ”
Listening to Li Che's voice, Xiao Zhuzi knew that he was not in a good mood, so he immediately didn't say anything more and just bowed his head to accept the order.
Li Che moved his gaze to Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun, and he snorted coldly: "When did the lonely imperial city become the backyard of the Liao Kingdom, and they came and left as they wanted?!" ”
Liu Zhiqing had already informed Sun Xun of the identity of Jin Yi, and when he heard Li Che's cold snort, Sun Xun frowned and said, "Could it be that Cheng Long Yi never caught the three princes of the Liao Kingdom?" ”
Li Che snorted coldly and replied, Sun Xun and Liu Zhiqing's faces changed when they heard this, and Liu Zhiqing's face also turned cold: "It seems that the Liao State spy must be a high-ranking and powerful person, otherwise he would not be able to catch him with Long Yi's ability." ”
Sun Xun nodded on the side, and his face was also solemn: "The Liao State spy has been hidden very deeply, and there is no flaw at all, and the appearance of the three princes of the Liao State today will definitely reveal clues, which is also a good thing for us." ”
"Nature is a good thing." Li Che said coldly: "That Jin Yi is too confident, knowing Lone's identity and provoking in person, he didn't even hide his name for half a point, Lone wants to see, when he sacrifices the Liao State spy who finally broke into the court, he will still be so confident." ”
Hearing Li Che's words, Liu Zhiqing and Sun Xun did not speak, this matter was no longer within the scope of their opening, until Li Che finished speaking and did not mean to open his mouth again, Sun Xun arrived: "According to the master, is that Jin Yi looking for us, or is it just a chance encounter?" ”
Li Che raised his eyebrows: "I also want to know about this matter." He took out a token and threw it to Sun Xu: "Order all the secret guards of the capital city to be dispatched, and I want to know the purpose of Jin Yi's coming to the capital." ”
"Yes!" Sun Xun turned around and left.
Li Che said again: "Liu Zhiqing, I want you to find out where Jin Yi is in Beijing and who he has dealt with within three days." ”
"Yes!" Liu Zhiqing was ordered to retire.
Only Li Che and Xiao Zhuzi were left in the study, Li Che was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at Xiao Zhuzi and said, "How long have you been following this palace?" (To be continued......)
