Chapter 431: Prepare with both hands
The room is not big, but it is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and every furnishing is very exquisite.
"This is Mingyue Man's study, it's nothing, it looks like some kind of treasure, it's not as good as my father's bedroom."
She said carelessly, but her eyes kept jumping up and down, looking inside and out of the room, and finally her eyes fell on a painting on the wall.
This painting is no different from other paintings, the only difference is that this painting does not match the room very well with the color or the scene.
If she had done it before, perhaps she would have ignored these details, after all, she was not an artist and was not interested in these paintings.
But since she came to the capital, she found that rich people are very particular, and there are things such as calligraphy and painting, and the richer and more powerful they are, the more picky they are.
Master Li's painting looks very ordinary, and if she guessed correctly, there should be another mystery in it.
"Princess, what are you doing here?"
She wanted to take this opportunity to see if there was any secret behind this painting, after all, she had long been used to this kind of thing, but she didn't expect that before her fingers could touch the painting, Master Li stopped her, which made her even more sure that there was something strange about this painting.
"I just want to see, why is Master Li so nervous, could it be that this painting is made by a celebrity."
Looking at the paper, she knew that this painting was not the work of a celebrity at all, but in order not to make Master Li suspicious, she had to say so.
"The princess misunderstood, this painting was painted by my father, and my father has passed away now, so I hope the princess will forgive me."
The situation was urgent just now, and he had to open his mouth, and after reacting, he immediately explained.
"So that's the case, okay, then I won't touch this, as for the rest, it shouldn't be the work of Lord Li's father."
This Master Li is really vigilant, but it's okay, the more he is like this, the more he can prove that there is something wrong with this painting, so that she can find the direction.
"Of course."
Lord Li accompanied the smiling face, but his heart was very bitter, thinking that the princess had taken a fancy to him and wanted to join the Li Mansion, so he had nothing to do with it on purpose.
However, a person like him is too much of an eyesore to be a maid, how could he possibly let her marry into the Li Mansion.
"This one is good." She touched the other paintings on the wall with her hand, and as she walked, she muttered, "This one is not bad, but none of these are as good as this one." ”
She still fixed her eyes on the ordinary-looking painting, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Oh no, no, it's gone."
Here Master Li was still thinking about when he would be able to invite this living Bodhisattva out of the Li Mansion, when he suddenly heard the voice of the little girl, so he immediately looked out the window, and sure enough, there was billowing smoke in the west wing.
"Master, it's not good, it's out of the water."
The little girl ran and shouted all the way, until he came to the door of the study, and then stopped staggering.
"I'm not blind, so I'm not going to find someone to put out the fire."
Why are all the people in his mansion so stupid, if they go to the water, they will find someone to put out the fire, and they will come to him and say that it is useless.
"No, Mrs. Liu is still inside."
In other words, if he walked on weekdays, he would not run to the master frizzily, but the problem was that Mrs. Liu was still in the room with Liujia, and they couldn't make up their minds, so they came to inform the master.
"What, come with me."
Mrs. Liu is one of his concubines, because she has a big belly, so she doesn't go out of the room much, so she is so dignified, why is her yard out of the water.
Hurriedly left the room, but he paused at the door: "Princess, something happened in the Li Mansion today, in order not to hurt the princess, I still ask the princess to go back first, and another day Li will go to the Qi Mansion to personally apologize to the princess." ”
If he had gone, would he have left the princess alone in the room.
The study is heavy, not everyone can stay, not to mention that the princess was very concerned about the painting just now.
"Okay, then the princess won't bother Lord Li to save his wife, and she will leave here."
It seems that this Master Li is suspicious of her, so he is in a hurry to drive her away, but she likes to prepare with both hands, and leaving does not mean that she can't get things.
King Qi's eyeliner is still in the Li Mansion, and she has already told her about it today, believing that she will be able to get what she wants.
"Princess, walk slowly."
Seeing the princess leaving, Lord Li saluted respectfully, then smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and went straight to the West Wing, while Song Xiaoqiao left the Li Mansion under the witness of the subordinates.
However, after leaving the Li Mansion, she did not go far, but sat down in the teahouse diagonally opposite the Li Mansion, waiting for the eyeliner to send her something.
Time passed like this, minute by minute, about half an hour, and an old man dressed plainly appeared in front of her.
"Here's what you want."
Although the person in front of him looked old, his voice was that of a girl, and it was very beautiful.
"Do you want to go back? I advise you not to go back, Master Li lost his things, and he won't give up. ”
From a distance, she looked like an old man, but as long as she looked closely, she could still see something unusual.
"This is the task given to me by the prince, and I can't leave without permission, unless the prince recalls me."
She wanted to go, but as a secret sentinel, she had her own mission, and they couldn't go there without the call of the master.
"I'll talk to the prince when I go back, you be careful."
Looking at the things that the girl gave her, it should be a letter, if the guess is correct, it should be the back hand left by Lord Li, such an important thing is lost, Lord Li will definitely check the entire Li Mansion once, it is too dangerous for her to continue to stay in the Li Mansion.
However, she can also understand that King Qi's methods are not unusual, if she leaves rashly, if King Qi blames, she may not be able to escape death.
After she returned to King Qi's mansion, she had to talk to King Qi.
"Then there's Miss Lao."
After the old man finished speaking, he bent over, and then left the teahouse, seeing this, Song Xiaoqiao did not hesitate, did not say a word, and went straight to the palace with those things.
But when he saw that he was about to enter the palace, he suddenly had a lot of guards at the palace gate, and said that this was the emperor's intention, and he was not allowed to enter without being summoned.
He didn't have to think about it, he also knew, most likely Lord Li already knew that something was lost, and then went to find Lord Xu, wanting Lord Xu to help him intercept him at the gate of the palace.
Their courage is really not small, and they dare to do such things as false proclamation.
"Presumptuous, keep your dog's eyes open, she is the princess of Xiling."
The princess's personal maid jumped out and pointed to the intercepting soldier and opened her mouth, such a thing the princess had often encountered before, so when facing the soldiers, she did not panic at all.
"What's wrong with the princess, this is the emperor's order, is it possible that you think that a little princess of Xiling can also be compared with today's saint."
In the face of the handmaid's reprimand, the soldier also seemed very calm, and even moved the emperor out.
"You ......"
The maidservant was so angry that she blew her beard and glared, and was just about to say something, but was stopped by Song Xiaoqiao: "Forget it, since this is what the emperor meant, then let's come back another day." ”
If you want to enter this imperial city today, I'm afraid it won't work, but they can stop it for a while, but they can't stop it for a lifetime, I believe that soon the emperor will be able to get the news, and the time will see how they still show their teeth and claws.
