Chapter 313: Disappearing
Looking at the appearance of the stone, the two of them were silent for a long time, always feeling a little familiar, but for a while they couldn't remember where they had seen the stone.
After all, it is really rare to see such a ghostly stone, Li Le frowned and thought carefully for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a memory followed.
The corners of her mouth twitched, this stone was clearly what they were looking for when they went to disaster relief before!
Suspiciously, his eyes turned towards Mu Changjin beside him, and it happened that the latter also looked at him suspiciously, and after the two looked at each other, Li Le's heart sank slightly.
She lowered her head and drank silently, and after a while remembered what had happened to her when she had found the stone.
This stone has clearly been kicked into the river by Mu Changjin, why is it in the hands of officials now?
Li Le raised his eyebrows and watched this thing appear in the lobby.
Could it be that someone made a special trip downstream to fish this thing out?
She frowned and thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't think of a reason, so she simply lost this idea first, and frequently looked up at the high position.
The emperor was naturally very happy to get such auspiciousness.
This real dragon stone not only represents the intentions of the officials, but also announces to the whole world that he is the true son of heaven, and his name is the chosen one.
He carefully looked at the stone in his hand, as if he had obtained a rare treasure, and he was no longer too concerned about the next gift.
The officials below naturally knew that he was absent-minded now, and his eyes were full of the stone in his hand, and most people were also full of chagrin in their hearts, why couldn't they find such a special stone.
And the official who offered the real dragon stone was also rewarded by His Majesty, and after receiving the jewels with a smile, he didn't even have time to participate in the banquet, so he went directly to the imperial treasury with the eunuch.
After a while, when he returned, his face was almost like a flower, and the rest of the officials were red-eyed.
Li Leren secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although he said that the ancient painting he gave was also a heart, but after all, it was not as good as the gift carefully prepared by others, so if he took it out now, he would be compared.
Now all the treasures were not as good as the stone he saw, but he was relieved.
Li Le didn't have much to pay attention to the banquet on the face now, and after he ate a few melons and fruits absentmindedly, he glanced at Mu Changjin one after another, and the latter also looked at her as if he had a heart, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Seeing that the banquet was almost over, and everyone was drinking to their heart's content, Li Le simply stood up directly, and left the banquet under the pretext of going out to breathe.
As soon as she walked on the front foot, Mu Changjin followed on the back foot, and after the two met in the imperial garden, Li Le went to a pavilion and sat down.
"Speaking of that stone, I still have an impression, but I don't know how it ended up in other people's hands."
Li Le remembered everything that happened at the banquet just now, his brows were slightly locked, and a trace of uneasiness passed through his heart inexplicably.
"Maybe the man passed by by by accident, and it happened to meet him, so he picked it up, but he didn't have to pay too much attention to it."
Mu Changjin stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, seeing that she was still worried, he couldn't help but feel funny.
"Don't worry anymore, not many people know that this stone is the one they encountered before."
He kicked this stone into the river at the beginning, so he could recognize it.
Although it is a little puzzling to take out this stone now, but I still didn't take it to heart when I think about it, it should be someone who is lucky.
Li Le nodded, but for some reason she always felt inexplicably uneasy, and after Mu Changjin said this, he calmed down slightly, he pursed his lips, then stood up, took Mu Changjin's hand and walked to the imperial garden.
Fang just drank a lot of fruit wine at the banquet, although the degree was not high, but she was also a little drunk at the moment, and the wind blew at night, which made her sober up a lot.
It was precisely because of this set that the evening breeze cleared her mind, and she suddenly remembered what had happened before.
"Do you remember who first shouted that the stone was the real dragon?"
She immediately turned her head and looked at Mu Changjin as if she wanted to confirm something.
The latter fell silent, then shook his head, as if he did not remember at all, after all, the scene had just been too chaotic, and he kicked the stone into the river in order to appease the people's hearts at once.
So as for who was the first to shout out, he didn't care too much.
Li Le gritted his teeth, and finally understood where his confusion came from.
"When you went to kick the stone, I followed the voice and looked over, and the person who shouted that sentence was Mr. Xuetang."
Her face was a little serious, and when she saw Mu Changjin, she was also silent, and the two were silent, and after waiting for a while, she finally broke the silence first.
"Why don't you go and see what he wants to do tonight?"
She was anxious to ascertain the guess she had in mind, or to seek an answer, and without further ado, they should go at once.
And what she wants to do, Mu Changjin has always supported her with both hands, and when she put forward this opinion, Mu Changjin also gladly accepted it.
"Then we'll leave the palace immediately."
While speaking, Mu Changjin had already taken her to the gate of the palace, and saw that he had come to his senses, but his face was still slightly red, probably because of the smell of drinking, so his cheeks looked like an apple, and he wanted to rush forward to take a bite.
Feeling Mu Changjin's undisguised gaze, Li Le's already pink cheeks were even redder under her eyes, she glared at Mu Changjin with disgust, muttered a sentence in her mouth that she didn't know anything, and sped up her pace.
After the two of them got into the carriage together, they immediately rushed to the school, but the mountain road was rugged and difficult, and the two of them climbed the mountain with great difficulty.
Li Le finally found the right direction with the memory of the last time he came over, and pulled Mu Changjin to run to that side.
As a result, because the pace was too fast, he almost slipped and fell on the snow that had melted away, and he happened to be taken into his arms by Mu Changjin, and the panting voices of the two blended together, which sounded especially ambiguous at night.
Li Le blushed, quickly stood up straight, and diverted the topic so as not to embarrass himself so much.
"Speaking of which, the last time I came over, I saw a lot of footprints around this school."
She remembered that when she came to take away the ancient painting that day, Mr. Xuetang clearly told her that the students had all gone home from vacation, but there were still so many footprints on the snow, it would not be ......
"But my husband told me that it was left behind when the students came up the mountain to honor him."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't say where.
After pinching her chin and being silent for a long time, she finally came back to her senses after being patted on the shoulder by Mu Changjin.
"Let's go find Mr. now."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't hear a voice from inside.
Li Le frowned, stretched out his hand and wanted to knock on the door, but with a slight touch, the door opened directly.
She raised her eyebrows, turned around and glanced at Mu Changjin, and a vigilance floated in her heart.
But when they entered the house, they found it empty, though it was bright.
The candlestick was half-burned, and I don't know when it was put up, but it is certain that the gentleman could not be here now, for there was nothing else in the room that needed anything but the one that was burning.
Li Le was silent for a while, then shook his head, turned around and left.
"Staying in your house in the middle of the night, what are you going out to run?"
She lowered her eyes and took the event to heart.
When the two returned to the palace in the carriage, they found that the palace banquet had ended.
A drop of cold sweat broke out on Li Le's forehead, and he felt a headache when he thought that he would face the reproach of Li Linyuan and Li Mufeng after he went back in a while.
She pinched her eyebrows, and then sighed a little helplessly, "I know that it took so long for the two of us to go out, and now it seems that I will definitely be scolded again when I go back." ”
She spread her hands, but who knew that Mu Changjin showed a helpless expression, and she reached out in anger and flicked it on his forehead.
Mu Changjin saw his worried look, but after all, he relented, let her go, and drove her back to the house in a carriage, and then reluctantly said goodbye and left.
As a result, as soon as Li Le got out of the carriage, he saw Li Mufeng standing at the door with a black face.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, shrunk her neck in a little panic, and laughed dryly, "Brother, it's so late, why are you still waiting for me at the door?" ”
As a result, she saw that her eldest brother's face was even darker, so she suddenly remembered something and quickly apologized, "I was wrong, I will never make such a mistake next time!" ”
She blinked, and her eyes immediately became foggy, looking like a little white rabbit who was wronged.
But this time Li Mufeng did not relent, but scolded a few words, although it was nothing more than about the girl's family, to know etiquette or something, but Li Le was still frightened when he listened.
"Hurry up and go to the old lady's yard, otherwise be careful when Li Linyuan loses his temper, I won't be able to save you."
Li Mufeng put down such a sentence angrily, then rolled his eyes, and hurriedly went to the courtyard, leaving Li Le standing alone, sticking out his tongue, and went back to his room first, and then hurried over after changing the bead hairpin on his head.
When he arrived at the old lady's courtyard, he found that all the people had gathered, and now there was only one empty seat left next to the table, and it could be seen with a clear eye that all of them were waiting for him.
Li Le hurriedly bowed his head and apologized, feeling annoyed in his heart.
