A quarter of an hour later, the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the left side of Zhou Que's face, and Li Zhilian silently stretched out his hand

Seeing this, Zhou Que seemed to be frightened, moved back half a step, quickly turned his head, and pulled his hair to block the black tendons that protruded from his left jawbone

Li Zhilian took his hand away and gently brushed Zhou Que's jawline, the black tendons were like raised scars, and her hand couldn't stop trembling and asked, "Is it a problem with the exercises?" ”

Zhou Que pulled her hand down, stood up abruptly and turned his back to her: "It's me who is too anxious to do it"

Li Zhilian looked at Zhou Que's face, a face that could have been captivating: "Is there a way to get rid of it?" ”

Zhou Que shook his head

Li Zhilian looked at him in a daze for a long time, and finally didn't say anything, just stood up and said, "I'm going to Shen Mansion, do you want to stay with me or go back to Zhou Mansion?" ”

Zhou Que leaned his back against the pillar, hugged his hands around his chest, and said indifferently: "Big brother shouldn't know that I'm back, I'll stay with you for two days first."

Now that Zhou Cheng has murderous intentions towards her, seeing Zhou Que like this, this catastrophe is even more difficult than the Xiao family's side

Li Zhilian nodded and called the housekeeper to settle Zhou Que

An hour later, she came to the door of the Shen Mansion, and as soon as the gatekeeper saw her, he hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "Your Highness~ Why are you here?" ”

Li Zhilian nodded slightly at him and said, "Is Brother Shen Chun here?" ”

The man guarding the door hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the little one is going to call"

Everything in the Shen Mansion was exactly the same as before she went to Xilin City, and Shen Zhitang would occasionally appear walking on the path with his hands behind his back

Unconsciously, she walked to the study of the east courtyard, and Shen Chun happened to come out of it and asked in surprise, "Miss Zhilian, why are you back?" The probe looked behind her, "Are you back too?" ”

Li Zhilian was slightly stunned, did not speak, but walked into the study and asked, "What was the teacher doing the day before departure?" ”

Shen Chun scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "I remember that when I came in to deliver hot tea that day, the adults were inscribed on a painting."

Li Zhilian glanced sideways at the bookcase, there were no calligraphy and paintings on the bookcase, and asked, "Can you show me?" ”

Shen Chun walked to the edge of a bookshelf with a puzzled face, took down a picture scroll, and said while spreading it out: "I helped him classify and put the calligraphy and paintings on weekdays, only this one he put on the bookshelf, and the adult has not touched it since he went to Xilin City."

The painting is a delicate courtyard, in the midst of a mist and rain, the inscription on the edge of the courtyard reads: Knowing mercy, if you are tired, go home

When Shen Chun saw it, he was immediately stunned and shouted: "This is the adult's hometown!" ”

It turned out that Shen Zhitang had really arranged everything, Li Zhilian rolled up the picture scroll, and his voice became a little hoarse: "Brother Shen Chun......"

"Didn't the adults go to Xilin City?" Shen Chun asked anxiously, looking at her with tears in his eyes: "I already felt that something was wrong on the day the adults left, he usually came out like that, and Shen Qiu, who explained a lot of things to me."

Shen Chun cried out with a "wow...... "Wow", and said intermittently while crying: "After the loud noise, I couldn't sleep all night, I always felt that something big was going to happen, but I could only pray that Lord and Shen Qiu arrived in Xilin City......

Li Zhilian raised his eyes and held back his tears vigorously, then gently patted Shen Chun's shoulder, and said softly: "The teacher's life and death are unknown now, and Shen Qiu is far away in Xilin City, this Shen Mansion still has to rely on you to support it."

Shen Chun nodded solemnly, lifted the hem of his clothes and quickly wiped away the tears on his face, and said, "Miss Zhilian, you sit here first, and I'll make you tea" After speaking, he quickly ran away

When Li Zhilian looked up again, Li Jianqing was standing at the door and looking at her, with the light on his back, condescending, as if she had never seen him clearly.

Li Zhipian was stunned for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”

Li Jianqing walked in, approached step by step, and looked at her, as if he wanted to force her into a corner

Li Zhilian lowered his head, pretended to flip through the books on the bookcase, and stopped talking

Li Jianqing still stared at her for a long time, found a stool to sit down, and said softly: "The host country has already started a war against Beifeng, and as soon as the holy decree arrives on the Western Zhou side, Fu Yuheng will raise troops."

Li Zhilian looked at the books on the bookcase, without saying a word, this day has finally come, and she has no power to change anything

Li Jianqing opened the painting on the bookcase, looked at the words left by Shen Zhitang, pointed to the courtyard on the painting and said: "It is a very good place, there are mountains and rivers, and there is a group of very good people" Li Jianqing raised his eyes and looked at her: "I also want you to stay away from the troubles of this world and be a happy person"

Li Zhilian raised his head and said: "Li Zhilian has been destined to be inseparable from these troubles since she was crowned by Shen Zhitang and Li Hongguan with the word Zhilian, and she knows that it is her duty as a descendant of the surname Li to love the people."

Li Jianqing looked at her silently and did not speak

Li Zhilian closed the book and asked, "When are you going to announce the teacher's death?" ”

"When Fu Yuheng arrives in the Western Zhou, I will issue a notice saying that the teacher died in the Western Zhou," Li Jianqing lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her after speaking

Li Zhilian glanced at Li Jianqing silently and said, "Since you have already planned, why did you come here today?" ”

Li Jianqing pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said, "I want you to leave Lining City, and when the situation in the world is stable, I will definitely pick you up in person." ”

Li Zhilian looked at him silently and did not speak

Li Jianqing didn't dare to look at her, lowered his head, and said: "You and Luo Chang's behavior in Xilin City has seriously violated the interests of the Xiao family, and Zhou Cheng, he will not let you be by my side and affect his so-called great cause."

Li Zhilian frowned slightly and did not speak.

Li Jianqing continued: "As soon as the news of the teacher's death is announced, I will go to the front line to drive the expedition, you are left alone in Ningcheng, I don't worry, now as long as you are no longer involved, I can protect you."

Li Zhilian pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time

Li Jianqing looked at her side face and hesitated for a long time: "I have already sent someone to contact the side of Liangyi Mountain, if it goes well, we will set off at the same time."

Li Zhilian raised his eyes to look at him and asked, "Will this Tianyuan land still be surnamed Xiao?" ”

Li Jianqing looked at her and shook his head: "I don't know, the power of the Xiao family is too huge, if we are defeated......"

"Then you will be a good emperor in the future? Like my father? Li Zhilian asked again

"I will do my best" Li Jianqing looked at her, and his eyes were more determined than before

Li Zhilian nodded: "I believe in you"
