Two days later, Xilin City returned to its usual prosperity, and after several days of exhaustion, Li Zhilian woke up, only feeling soreness all over his body

She lay on the bed for a while, staring blankly at the daylight that came through the house outside, and these two days of calm and stability were the comfort she had not felt in the seven years she had been here

In a trance, she seemed to see Li Zhilian before the age of five, a princess born with an auspicious appearance, beautiful and with an almost perfect life

And now...... smiled self-deprecatingly, got up and got dressed, in the past two days, Aunt Fan made her a few dresses that were easy to move, and she slowly got used to wearing them

Still tied his hair, someone outside was knocking softly on the door.

She stood up and walked to the door and asked in a low voice, "Who?" ”

"It's me~ The teacher said that he was going to go shopping on the street, let me call you" Li Jianqing's voice.

She hurriedly opened the door, and Li Jianqing was standing outside, much thinner and haggard than when he first saw him, his face was still handsome, and his tall figure made him look outstanding

The autumn in Xilin City was cold, and Li Zhilian turned around and added a coat: "Teacher, is he done?" ”

Li Jianqing followed her into the house, and sat at the table very naturally and waited: "Well, the prince is seriously ill, rumors are spreading in Ningcheng, the emperor is urging the teacher to go back, the new prefect is already on the way, if nothing happens, we will leave tomorrow."

Li Zhilian looked at herself in the mirror, she still couldn't learn to braid her hair, and she still tied her hair high

casually asked, "Doesn't the teacher check other things?" ”

Li Jianqing said: "Now the people who should retreat have all retreated, and they can't find anything if they stay in Xilin City."

Li Zhilian nodded: "Let's go~"

The mansion was in the alley, the door was quiet, there were only a few people sitting for breakfast, Shen Qiu hurriedly ran out and said, "See Qing Gongzi, Miss Zhilian, the new prefect has arrived!" The adult wants to stay and hand over the work" handed the purse in his hand to Li Jianqing and said: "The adult said that he wants you to buy more local specialties and go back"

Li Zhilian looked up at Li Jianqing, expecting him to refuse, and didn't know why every time she was alone with Li Jianqing, she felt a sense of embarrassment at a loss

Unexpectedly, Li Jianqing looked at her and smiled, and said naturally: "Okay~"

Li Zhilian immediately said: "The teacher is not going to go~ Do you know what to buy?" ”

Li Jianqing nodded and said, "I know~ I often go out with my teacher."

"Hehehe~" Li Zhilian laughed embarrassedly twice: "Let's eat something first!" ”

Shen Qiu turned his gaze to Li Jianqing and Li Zhilian on the side, and the corners of his eyes raised slightly, revealing a playful smile: "Turn left at the intersection ahead, the chaos under that willow tree is the most delicious!" ”

In just a few steps, Li Zhilian felt extremely far away, Li Jianqing seemed to know her pace, she took a slow step and he followed, and he followed the previous step.

Finally came to the breakfast point that Shen Qiu said, the stall was already full of people, Li Jianqing ordered two bowls of chaos, and the boss looked around and said, "You see it's all full, why don't you go to the river and get together with that little brother?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

Soon the boss brought Chaos over and said, "Guest Officer ~ Slow use"

Li Zhilian pinched the spoon, looked at Li Jianqing, and then looked at the person sitting next to her, and saw that the short knife he inserted in his boots was a little familiar, and he unconsciously looked at it twice

The man glared at her, left the money and left

Li Zhilian ate half a bowl and found that the guests sitting at the table next to him all stood up and walked to both sides of the street

She held the spoon in her hand, stretched her head hard, and looked towards the door

Li Jianqing knocked the bowl lightly and said, "It should be that the new prefect has arrived!" ”

Li Zhilian said "um", and quickly finished the remaining half bowl of wontons: "Let's go and have a look."

Li Jianqing nodded: "Okay~"

Li Zhilian and Li Jianqing walked into the crowd, and were crowded in the front by the crowd, as soon as the new prefect saw Li Jianqing, he immediately turned over and dismounted, walked to Li Jianqing with a smile and said: "Jianqing~ Why are you here?" What about teachers? ”

Li Jianqing saluted and said with a smile: "It turns out that the new prefect is Brother Shu!" Teacher, he's waiting for you at the palace."

Li Zhilian noticed that a beam of eyes was staring at him, and when he turned sideways to see that it was the young man who had just eaten chaos at the same table, Li Zhilian pulled Li Jianqing's sleeve and said, "I'll go out for a while."

Li Jianqing just wanted to introduce Li Zhilian to Shu Liuguang, but when he looked down and saw that the person was gone! Li Zhilian was petite, blended into the crowd, and disappeared long ago

Li Zhilian chased her into a small alley, and the person in front of her looked back at her and asked, "Who are you?" Why follow me? ”

The person standing in front of her was about twenty years old, his appearance was very upright, and his expression was very cold, Li Zhilian hurriedly saluted: "Dare to ask where the short knife in the young man's boots came from?" ”

The man looked at her suspiciously and said, "What do you have to do with it?" ”

Li Zhilian smiled: "I just feel a little familiar"

The man was surprised: "Are you Li Zhilian?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded and said, "Well~ It's me!" ”

The man hurriedly saluted Li Zhilian and said, "Under Qi Yi, a native of the Western Zhou Dynasty, I have come here to look for His Royal Highness Su Yun, the Sixth Prince, Miss Li, do you know where he is now?" ”

Li Zhilian's face was slightly sluggish, and he asked, "Didn't he go back to Western Zhou three days ago?" ”

Qi Yi exclaimed: "Three days ago? Suffered! ”

Li Zhilian stepped forward and asked, "But what happened?" ”

Qi Yi pondered for a while and said, "What did the sixth prince say when he left?" ”

Li Zhilian looked at Qi Yi anxiously and didn't look like he was pretending, and repeated Su Yun's original words when he left: "He said that the second prince Su Cheng rebelled, the prime minister Situ Mo was killed in battle, the emperor was seriously injured, and the eldest prince controlled the palace, so he had to go back as soon as possible!" ”

Qi Yi's eyes widened, and he muttered with disbelief on his face: "It was the emperor who died in the battle, the seriously injured prime minister, who came here in advance to make up lies...... "Then where did he go?" ”

Li Zhilian listened, looked at Qi Yi who looked anxious, and comforted softly: "Is it possible that he has already returned to the imperial city?" ”

Qi Yi shook his head: "Impossible, Yizhou City has not opened the city gate in the past few days, where did he go back?" ”

Li Zhilian suddenly paused, and an ominous premonition arose: "The city gate is not open, why didn't he come back to me?" Could it be that something is wrong? ”

Qi Yi immediately said: "I'll go out of the city to find him now"

Li Zhilian grabbed him and said, "I'll go too."

Li Zhilian and Qi Yi came to the West Gate, borrowed a fast horse from the soldiers guarding the gate, explained a few more words, and hurriedly went out of the city gate with Qi Yi
