Chapter 35: Being questioned
It was early in the morning, Li Xiangsi had woken up, and Qing Li had already accompanied Li Xiangsi to help her make up, with a few clothes by her side, and it seemed that she was moving back to the East Courtyard at this time.
Qingli helped Li Xiangsi comb a tassel bun, and finally put on a pink/tender hosta for Li Xiangsi, she looked at her technique with satisfaction, and was very satisfied.
Li Xiangsi looked at herself in the bronze mirror, she opened the drawer under the dresser, took out the rouge box inside, dipped a little on her hand, and finally applied it to her lips, gently sipping it.
Although Mo Nanchen never had these things, he still placed these things very carefully considering that Li Xiangsi was there.
"Miss is dressed like this, she can take away the hearts of many men." Qing Li looked at Li Xiangsi, who was coated with rouge today, and the Li Xiangsi in front of him was a little brighter.
Li Xiangsi lowered his eyes slightly, he was a person, and he could be bright and moving with a little dress, but unfortunately Mo Nanchen's eyes were frustrated, and he couldn't recognize her.
She stood up, Qingli picked up her clothes, and planned to go to the East Courtyard.
Halfway through, he was stopped by Ning Wan, followed by Mo Nanchen and the two people that Li Xiangsi was familiar with.
The person she knocked unconscious last night.
The time is right, and the person has found it anyway, and there is nothing to do.
Li Xiangsi secretly relieved herself in her heart, she looked directly at Ning Wan, and said softly, "Is there something wrong with Concubine Wan?" If there is nothing to do, don't disturb the concubine and move back to the East Courtyard. ”
Ning Wan frowned and looked at Li Xiangsi in front of her, she always felt that the person in front of her seemed to be different, as if he was better-looking.
She suddenly realized what Li Xiangsi called her, and the corners of her mouth hooked, after all, this was the first time Li Xiangsi called her "Concubine Wan".
"It's the prince who has something to confirm with his sister, and my sister just stopped by to visit my sister." Ning Wan was a little pleased, and this time she didn't say anything about Li Xiangsi.
When Li Xiangsi heard Ning Wan's answer, she turned her head to look at Mo Nanchen, waiting for his next words.
Mo Nanchen's eyes fell on her, but when he saw her, he was a little stunned, he had never seen such a Li Xiangsi, Li Xiangsi, who was originally without makeup, was fragrant and beautiful, and now Li Xiangsi, who was smeared with rouge, smiled lightly and raised his eyes slightly, he could captivate the country and the city.
Mo Nanchen was stunned for a while, until Ning Wan's voice brought him back to his senses, he coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, "They said that someone broke into the library last night, and when this king went today, he did find footprints in the library, so I want to ask the princess where you were last night?" ”
Li Xiangsi looked at him, and suddenly chuckled, the silver bell-like laughter was very crisp and pleasant, "The prince suspects that the concubine did it?" The concubine was asleep in the house last night, and the prince is suspicious, so there must be evidence, right? ”
Mo Nanchen continued: "The two people who this king sent to guard the library pavilion have martial arts, so those who break into the library must have martial arts, and looking at the size left, it is not surprising that it is a woman, so I came to ask the princess." ”
Li Xiangsi raised her eyebrows, she pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, the concubine knows that the prince suspects that this is also based on those evidence, because there is indeed only one concubine who knows martial arts and is still a woman in the Mo Wangfu, but the prince, the concubine was really sleeping in the house last night, and I don't believe that the prince can ask the two eldest brothers who guarded the door of the house. ”
Mo Nanchen saw that what Li Xiangsi said was also sincere, but the series of footprints, but from the first floor to the third floor, the most significant footprints on the second floor were that corner......
"Are you serious?"
"The prince is clear."
Li Xiangsi blessed his body and walked past Ning Wan and Mo Nanchen, and Mo Nanchen suddenly said: "Fire spear." She froze in place.
"Did you know?" Mo Nanchen turned around and stared at Li Xiangsi's back, his gaze blazing.
Li Xiangsi turned around and said, "What did the prince do when he talked about the weapon of the concubine's father?" Shouldn't my father's weapon disappear with my father? ”
Under her sleeves, her fists clenched; On her countenance, she looked calm.
Mo Nanchen looked at the expression on Li Xiangsi's face, and he said, "It hasn't disappeared, it's still there, do you know where it is?" ”
Li Xiangsi's expression was a little struggling, these Mo Nanchen saw it in his eyes, and when he thought that Li Xiangsi was about to move, she suddenly cried.
"It's still ...... Does it still mean that my father is not dead? She looked at Mo Nanchen with tears in her eyes, tears running down her face, dripping onto the ground, and fainting.
Ning Wan couldn't bear to look at Li Xiangsi like this, she never thought that Li Xiangsi's life experience would be so pitiful.
"You should know better than the prince." He turned his head away from looking at Li Xiangsi's expression, he paused for a while, and continued: "In the entire Mowang Mansion, only you and Qingli are the ones who know martial arts, and Qingli will do what you ask. People outside the house can't get in, someone is holding their hands, this king thinks of you, it's not unreasonable, but you haven't entered, so whose footprints are they? ”
Li Xiangsi took the handkerchief handed by Qingli, she wiped away the tears on her face, and said: "Lord, the concubine doesn't know, the concubine has been sleeping to death at night recently, and the prince should also know that the concubine is pregnant, and she definitely doesn't dare to make that kind of high-risk action." ”
Seeing Li Xiangsi like this, Mo Nanchen had no choice but to dispel her suspicions, but he faintly felt that Li Xiangsi had something to hide.
"Since the princess has said so, then this king is no longer suspicious of this concubine, it seems that we have to see if the maids in the palace know martial arts, and this king has to be severely punished." When he said this, his eyes kept falling on Li Xiangsi.
But Li Xiangsi still looked like she had just cried, and she didn't know what he said just now, whether she listened to it or not.
After a while, Li Xiangsi said: "That's okay, the concubine is here to thank the prince for believing in the innocence of the concubine, so the concubine will go back to the East Courtyard first." ”
Seeing Li Xiangsi's back gradually moving away, Mo Nanchen's handsome eyebrows began to frown, and he said to the two people: "Didn't you see that person's face last night?" ”
The two people looked at each other, they didn't see each other, and they dozed off, how dare they say? That can't be punished severely?
"Back to the prince, I saw it, and I fought with that person, but that person's martial arts are better than ours, we were defeated without noticing, and when we woke up again, we fell to the ground, no, did you come to tell the prince?" They bowed their heads, and their eyes were full of emptiness.
Mo Nanchenjun frowned, and raised his voice: "Gather all the maids in the mansion, and this king will investigate them one by one." Wan'er, please go and invite Li Xiangsi and her maid to the entrance of the main hall. ”
Hearing Mo Nanchen's order, Ning Wan nodded, "What the prince ordered, Wan'er must do her best." ”
