"When the assassin was arrested, he kept saying that Li Fu shot the soldiers recklessly, lady, you are aiding and abusing, I don't know how you feel when you hear it?" Li Chengxuan asked slowly, as if judging a calligraphy and painting and a good cup of tea, it was surprisingly light.

The atmosphere in the room plummeted, and everyone changed color when they heard the sound, but Li Qi was expressionless.

Xiling Yue was even more shocked in her heart, I don't know why King Fu would ask such a sentence, not to mention that Li Qi is the lord of Zhenhai, with heavy troops in his hands, he is a prince who is easy to cause trouble when he goes to someone else's territory, even from the perspective of etiquette, he is a guest in Li Qi's mansion, how can he say anything about demolishing Li Qi's platform?

Is King Fu prepared and not afraid of offending Li Qi? Or is he used to running rampant in Chang'an, and he doesn't know the power of the envoys of the feudal towns? Xi Lingyue's mind turned quickly, and she looked at Li Heng, the prince on the side, and sure enough, she saw that he had a displeased look on his face, as if he was holding back a sneer.

Xiling Yue rolled her eyes, a flash of inspiration, and replied, "What? The prince said that Li Servant was loyal to the monarch and patriotic, righteous and squandered wealth, and asked the people what they thought? ”

As soon as she said this, the atmosphere in the house immediately heated up, which not only relieved Li Qi's siege, but also fulfilled King Fu's face.

Li Chengxuan's eyes flashed slightly, as if he was a little surprised by her answer; Li Heng looked at her with approval in his eyes; Li Qi reacted the fastest, and he was already laughing: "Thank you for the praise, the lower officials have done far enough." ”

Li Chengxuan also chuckled in a low voice, but refused to let go of Xilingyue, and continued to ask her: "Then please ask the lady of the Jiang family to tell me, is what Li Servant has done worthy of praise?" ”

If it weren't for Li Chengxuan's appearance being too outstanding and unforgettable, Xilingyue would almost suspect that she had offended him in the past. She just said something quickly, and it was a standard polite word, why was she so troubled by him?

Xilingyue gritted her teeth with hatred, and her face showed a little dissatisfaction, and she replied coldly: "The people's daughter is raised in the boudoir, and her knowledge is shallow, and she does not praise the actions of the servant. But there was one thing he had gone too far, outrageous, and it was no wonder that the guards in the palace rebelled. ”

Her words seemed to be straightforward, and they ruined the atmosphere that had finally eased, and Li Qi's father and son looked at her with eyes as cold as ice, with a thick sense of surprise and warning.

Only Li Chengxuan seemed not to see it, and asked her with interest: "Oh? What did Li Fujiao do, it was a heinous crime? ”

Xiling Yue snorted coldly: "The food is too poor, you can only eat vegetarian!" ”

Li Qi and his son breathed a sigh of relief. Xilingyue was still indignant, and made accusations: "The folk girl has been here for two days, but she has never seen a trace of meat, what's the matter, has the prince eaten meat?" ”

"Not really." Li Chengxuan laughed, and for some reason, Xilingyue felt a little disappointed in his eyes.

At this time, Li Qi smiled and said: "Mrs. Jiang misunderstood, this official mansion is not vegetarian every day, but it happens to be fasting in recent days. This is a century-old tradition of my Huai'an king, don't say it's you, it's the prince who has been here for two days, and he hasn't eaten a bite of meat. ”

Xilingyue pretended to suddenly realize, and pulled out a long "oh" word: "I see, it's Yunyi's gaffe." So dare to ask the servant, when will the house be able to eat meat? ”

"The day after tomorrow," Li Qi promised with a smile, "this official should set up a feast and will not disappoint Mrs. Jiang." ”

At this point, the topic has unconsciously deviated, and the atmosphere has become completely relaxed, and no one has mentioned the assassin again, and it is difficult to mention it again.

Xilingyue didn't dare to look at Li Chengxuan's face, and only winked at Li Heng, who reacted very quickly when he received the hint, and immediately answered: "Speaking of food, it's three o'clock right now, and I've been busy arresting assassins all day, and I don't need to eat." Lord Wang and Father, why don't you just move to the banquet hall? ”

Li Qi also looked at Li Chengxuan: "I couldn't clean the dust for the prince last night because of the assassin's matter, and I hope you will give the lower officials a chance to make amends." He stretched out his hand as he spoke, "Please." ”

Li Chengxuan's expression was as usual, and he was slightly polite: "Please also ask Li Fushu to lead the way." ”

The two of them asked each other to go outside the door, and no one spoke to Xiling Yue again. Li Heng watched the two of them walk down the steps, and then whispered to her, "You go back to rest first, and I'll go to see you tomorrow." After that, he turned to Mr. Staff and said, "The house has not been safe recently, and Mr. Bai is bothered to send the Jiang family's lady back." ”

The staff surnamed Bai immediately said: "The prince can rest assured. ”

Li Heng nodded, then hurriedly followed, and accompanied King Fu to dinner.

Xilingyue looked at the backs of a few people who were gradually moving away, and finally could relax at this point, and said secretly in her heart: Pei Xingli, you killed me!

This night, Xilingyue tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and she really regretted coming to Zhenhai in her heart. Li Heng's warm gaze flashed in her mind for a while, the assassin's passionate scolding at the same time, and the Fu King Li Chengxuan's aggressive questioning, and finally turned into the cold arrow that flew from Jiang Fu.

She felt that she was sinking deeper and deeper, and her hope of escaping Zhenhai without dragging the Jiang Mansion down seemed to be getting slimmer and slimmer...... Thinking like this, I sighed and sighed, and I was anxious. In addition, it suddenly rained in the second half of the night, which was very disturbing, and Xilingyue didn't sleep all night, keeping her eyes open until dawn.

Early in the morning, Arlo woke her up again with a loud voice. She got up with her head clouded, came to the courtyard with breakfast, and when she saw that the sky was clear, she sat on the stone bench in the small courtyard and thought about life, thinking about how to retreat from the Jiedu Embassy. Thinking about it, drowsiness slowly hit.

"Tired?" Li Heng suddenly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, driving away the sleepiness she had just brewed.

Xilingyue experienced a catastrophe last night, and she didn't bother to pretend to be a famous lady anymore, so she simply admitted: "Yes, I didn't sleep well last night." After speaking, he hid his face and yawned.

Li Heng looked at her like this, but felt that she was very cute, and sat next to her with a smile: "I worked hard for you last night, and my father also asked me to convey my gratitude." ”

As for thanking her for catching the assassin, or thanking her for relieving the siege in front of King Fu, Li Heng did not say it thoroughly. Xiling Yue didn't want to mention this matter again, so she waved her hand: "Thank you for not needing, I just want to inquire about one person." ”

"Fu Wang?" Li Heng asked straight back.

Xiling Yue felt inexplicable: "I asked him what he was doing?" ”

Li Heng immediately smiled: "Oh, I thought it ...... So who are you going to ask? ”

Xilingyue was silent for a moment before she said a name: "Your cousin, the daughter of the envoy of the Ziqing Festival, Li Wangzhen Li Niangzi." "Forgetfulness?"

Li Heng was a little puzzled, "What, do you know her?" Xilingyue shook her head: "I want to inquire because I don't know." ”

Li Heng became interested: "You are in Zhenhai, she is in Ziqing, and you can't beat the eight poles, what are you asking her to do?" ”

Xiling Yue's eyes flashed a trace of gloom, and he reluctantly smiled: "It's nothing, I heard that Li Niangzi is both talented and beautiful, the first beauty of Pinglu Ziqing, and the pearl of the Jiedu envoy." It stands to reason that such a woman should be able to marry a husband with a prominent status, but I heard that she has already promised someone, and the man has no fame, but is just a doctor in Xichuan, isn't that ...... The door is not the right one? ”

"So you're curious about this." Li Heng looked at her meaningfully, "I thought you were jealous." ”
