Chapter 258: The Domineering Prince
Why did the murderer kill the fake Arlo? A Luo's ancestor is Wang Bo's cousin, how does this relate to "Preface to King Teng's Pavilion"? Will there be any connection with the "Pavilion Master"? Seeing that there are still four or five days to reach the end of the month, Xilingyue can't help but get anxious.
Li Chengxuan saw that she was impetuous, so he gave her an idea: "Should you visit Jiang Yunyi and ask Ah Luo about her situation?" β
Xiling Yue's eyes lit up! That's right, how did she forget such an important person! Jiang Yunyi is the master of Ah Luo's family, maybe there are no clues! She suddenly remembered that she had wanted to return her clothes and jewelry ten days ago, but it was delayed due to various incidents, and now she could use this as an excuse to go!
Thinking of this, Xilingyue hurriedly thanked Li Chengxuan: "Thank you for mentioning it, you are really my great nobleman!" β
In the past few days, Li Chengxuan has long been tired of listening to her polite words, and he is accustomed to her hypocrisy, so he replied lightly: "Thank you for finding the clue." β
Xiling Yue winked at him, revealing a smart smile. She has been eating and living in the imperial garden for the past ten days, and it is also appropriate to say a few good words to make the master's family happy, anyway, she will not lose a few pieces of meat, and she can ask for shelter, why not?
Thinking of this, Xiling Yue was about to say a few more sweet words, when she suddenly heard a report from the porter, saying that Li Wangzhen had come to visit.
What did she come to do? Xilingyue remembered that day when the two broke up unhappily in the dungeon, and some resisted seeing her.
Li Chengxuan saw her thoughts: "She came to the Imperial Garden, out of courtesy, this king should see her." β
Xiling Yue also knows this truth: "Then I'll avoid it." β
"No," Li Chengxuan glanced at her, "This king is hospitable, and there is a shortage of maidservants who bring tea and water, you are just right." β
"Lord Wang!" Xi Lingyue was a little angry, he knew his relationship with Li Wangzhen, why was he reluctant?
However, Li Chengxuan didn't seem to be considerate: "It's okay if you don't see it, if I ask for any clues, I won't tell you." β
At this moment, she pinched Xilingyue, and she had to respond weakly: "Can't I see it?" β
Li Chengxuan then motioned to Xiao Guo: "Go, bring Mrs. Li in." β
After a while, Li Wangzhen followed Xiao Guo into the main hall. She wore a primrose-colored large-sleeved shirt today, plus a lake blue shawl embroidered with white flowers, and the two extremely bright colors were matched together, which did not look vulgar, but made her skin whiter and fairer. Xilingyue made a comparison in her heart for a long time, and finally had to admit that not everyone could hold up these two colors...... Not on your own.
Li Wangzhen didn't go to see Xilingyue, she upheld everyone's ladylike demeanor and did not squint, and when she entered the door, she first saluted: "Li Wangzhen, the daughter of Li Shidao, the daughter of Li Shidao, will participate in the Fu Wang." β
"Mrs. Li, please get up." Li Chengxuan spoke slowly and methodically, and made a gesture to invite her to take a seat.
These two people are handsome and extraordinary, and the other is beautiful, both of them are one-in-a-million characters, but they didn't react to each other when they first saw each other. Xi Lingyue observed carefully from the side, and it was certain that there was not even a trace of waves in the eyes of the two, let alone amazing.
"How is Lingzun Lingtang doing lately?" Li Chengxuan spoke first to greet him.
Li Wangzhen bowed slightly: "Thank you for your care, my father and mother are all right." β
"Last year, Li Sikong succeeded as the envoy of the Pinglu Ziqing Festival, and went to Chang'an to thank him, and the king had the honor to talk to him, but he benefited a lot, and I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future." Li Chengxuan said with a look of regret.
Xi Lingyue was listening, knowing that he had begun to play his true character again, and he had to be sarcastic on his tongue, so that the other party could not get off the stage. According to Li Chengxuan, the saint put down the rebellion in the feudal towns of Jiannan, Xichuan and Xia Suiyin last year, and the envoys from all over the country went to Beijing one after another, but Li Shidao seemed to have discussed with Li Qi, and refused to leave. Now he deliberately said "I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future", which is obviously a sarcasm about this matter.
Li Wangzhen naturally heard the mystery, was silent for a moment, and replied with a smile: "The prince said that he was joking, my father is a courtier, and he often goes to Beijing to report on his work, how can we never see each other again?" β
"That'll be fine." Li Chengxuan stopped at the point, showing a somewhat domineering and provocative smile, as if he had just remembered something, "Xiling, did you forget to serve tea?" β
Xilingyue gritted her teeth and was about to say yes, but was stopped by Li Wangzhen raising his hand: "No need, don't hide it from the prince, Wangzhen came this time to find Xiling Lady to say a few words, I don't know if it's convenient?" β
"Convenient." Li Chengxuan replied very happily, got up and walked to the inner hall, "You guys talk slowly." β
Seeing this, Xiao Guo quickly followed.
Suddenly, there were only two of them left in the hall, and the atmosphere seemed a little calm. Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiling Yue had to take the initiative to ask, "What are you looking for me?" β
Li Wangzhen took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "He has sent a letter, and it will arrive in a few days." β
"Brother Yi...... He's coming......" Xiling Yue was suddenly speechless, and she was anxious for a long time before she spoke, "How can you let him come, how dangerous it is here!" β
Li Wangzhen was calm and composed: "I told you in the dungeon that day that I couldn't let him dislike me because of this, so I told him in the book." After that, she paused for a moment and silently counted the time, "He took the waterway, and now that the wind is favorable, the day should come." β
At this point, it was too late to say anything, Xilingyue was a little flustered for a while, only thinking about how not to implicate Xiao Yi. Li Wuzhen Bingxue was smart and knew what she was worried about, so he said: "You don't have to worry, he is my fiancΓ©, and my uncle will give him some thin noodles...... But you are ...... with the blessed king."
Xi Lingyue interrupted her: "This matter is a long story. β
Li Wuzhen didn't bother to inquire, but said: "Don't worry, I will come forward to save you as a last resort." β
"Ha, thank you so much." Xilingyue didn't want to admit her love at all.
Li Wuzhen didn't see the slightest annoyance: "If you don't want to get my affection, then work hard to investigate the case!" I heard that you and your uncle have agreed on a 20-day term, are you sure? β
"Pretty much." Xiling Yue didn't want to show weakness.
Seeing this, Li Wangzhen frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with this answer: "You have to move faster, my father has already sent someone to pick me up." β
"Send someone to pick you up?" Xiling Yue was a little surprised. At present, Mrs. Gao is grieving the loss of her beloved son, and Li Shidao is Mrs. Gao's cousin, and it is said that he has been taken care of by her and is extremely close to her. At such a time, shouldn't Li Shidao let his daughter stay with her more? Why do you want to urge Li Wangzhen to go back?
Xi Lingyue couldn't hide anything in her heart, and blurted out, "Ling Zun is worried about your safety?" β
"No," Li Wangzhen replied nonchalantly, "My father hasn't asked about Zhenhai for a long time, and he doesn't want me to interfere. β
Long time but ask? Xiling Yue was puzzled. Didn't you say that Ziqing and Zhenhai are in the same breath? Aren't the two knots very close? Li Chengxuan even guessed that Ziqing was secretly playing tricks in the turmoil in Zhenhai.
