Chapter 155: Who Is He?
Seeing Li Ce's appearance when he greeted Gu Huanli, Lu Xuan really couldn't figure out how blind he was in his previous life and how he would be deceived for so long.
"Xiaguan has seen ......" Li Ce was saluting Gu Huanli, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't even look at the person, he just walked in front of Lu Xuan deliberately:
"The matter of this king has been dealt with properly, if Lu Jie ordered the envoy to go back to the criminal department with this king, it just so happened that the criminal department was empty and wanted to meet with you."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but glance at Li Ce, who was standing on the side with a deflated face, she couldn't bear it anymore in the face of this disgusting face, and she couldn't help it when she heard Gu Huanli's words at this time.
Lu Xuan nodded without saying a word: "Your Highness respectfully obeys Your Highness's orders, Your Highness please." ”
After speaking, Lu Xuan didn't even say hello to Li Ce, and left after Gu Huanli, full of desire to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
It wasn't until he left the household department and passed through the Fierce King's Mansion that Gu Huanli dragged Lu Xuan in.
Lu Xuan was taken aback: "Your Highness, this is the palace!" ”
"The king knows." Gu Huanli answered cleanly.
Lu Xuan was even more puzzled: "But didn't His Highness say that he would take the official back to the Criminal Department?" also said that Lord Langzhong wanted to meet the lower officials. ”
"Lie to you." Gu Huanli said these three words with confidence.
Lu Xuan was speechless: "What is Your Highness doing to lie to me about this kind of thing, I ......"
For some reason, Gu Huanli felt that Lu Xuan's words were too noisy today, so he immediately stopped and glared back at her, and she instantly swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
"Just come in with this king obediently, this king has something to ask you." Gu Huanli pulled Lu Xuan to walk quickly, and said to her coldly.
It was rare to hear such a serious voice from him again, and Lu Xuan didn't dare to ask more questions for a while, so he had to silence and follow.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Gu Huanli turned back to stare at Lu Xuan in amazement, and asked her without hesitation: "Say, what is your relationship with Na Li Ce!" ”
Lu Xuan was stunned, although Gu Huanli didn't have the slightest anger in her words, but asking it out like this inexplicably really made her a little difficult to react.
So he suspects that I lied to him yesterday? Lu Xuan secretly speculated.
Seeing that Gu Huanli was still staring at herself, she responded: "I am indeed an old acquaintance with him, but I know him, but he doesn't recognize me." ”
Lu Xuan didn't want to hide Gu Huanli, but this matter was bizarre, and this was the only way she could think of to explain it to him.
Gu Huanli was puzzled: "What is this, you know him, he doesn't recognize you, could it be that you secretly promised him?" ”
This is really half right, Lu Xuan couldn't help but be silent, but Gu Huanli's eyes suddenly flashed with anger: "Are you really interested in him?" Do you know that he is the man of King Chang? ”
"Your Highness also knows?" Lu Xuan was surprised, Gu Huanli had obviously heard of Li Ce only yesterday, how could he know everything about him today?
Gu Huanli was even more surprised than Lu Xuan: "So you also knew early on that he was King Chang's person, and you still regarded him as a friend?" ”
Lu Xuan had to refute this: "Who said that I regard him as a friend." ”
"Oh? What is that, could it be that it can still be an enemy? Gu Huanli sneered.
Lu Xuan's eyes instantly ignited a burst of hostility, and he couldn't help clenching his fists: "There is indeed an enmity that does not share the sky." ”
Hearing this, Gu Huanli was suddenly surprised: "What did you say?" ”
Lu Xuan realized that he was unspeakable in his anger, and hurriedly wanted to take back Fang Cai's words, but Gu Huanli had already heard it clearly, how could he allow him to regret it?
Gu Huanli insisted on asking Lu Xuan to make her words clear, since she had decided to believe him and stood on the same front with him from beginning to end, she really didn't want to hide it.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xuan simply told Gu Huanli about the past in a different way-
"Your Highness can trust your life? Fortune telling. Lu Xuan asked Gu Huanli tentatively first.
He shook his head unexpectedly: "This king still doesn't believe in the Mandate of Heaven, how can he believe that the mere Jianghu Warlock is full of nonsense?" ”
In fact, Lu Xuan just asked casually, believe it or not, it is Gu Huanli's own business.
Lu Xuan then said: "A few years ago, I met a demi-immortal, and all the news about Li Ce was seen from his magic weapon. ”
"Artifact?" Gu Huanli was surprised, he boasted that he was well-informed, but he had never seen any half-immortals still carrying magic weapons.
Lu Xuan nodded: "It's the Kunlun Mirror, as the half-immortal said, this mirror can spy on the future." ”
Gu Huanli laughed contemptuously when he heard this: "How can there be such a thing in the world, it's just nonsense." ”
Lu Xuan naturally knew that it was nonsense, but it was more realistic than directly telling Gu Huanli that he had come back from the dead and came to seek revenge with the memories of his previous life.
No matter how Gu Huanli denied it, Lu Xuan just said to himself: "I saw Li Ce in that mirror, and I saw that he treated me sincerely, helped me hide my woman's identity, and even married me......
Lu Xuan's words were all real memories engraved in his mind, but Gu Huanli couldn't listen to it: "Since he treats you so well, how can you treat him as an enemy?" ”
Lu Xuan only then got to the point-
"He treated me well, but he was just to use me, use me to curry favor with King Chang, plan for himself with my innocence and the lives of the Lu family, and finally put me to death together with Lu Qingmeng." Lu Xuan gritted his teeth.
Gu Huanli didn't take what she said seriously: "It's just a lie of the charlatan's deception." ”
Lu Xuan raised his lips and smiled: "I also hope that all this is a lie and a dream, but I really saw him yesterday, his appearance and his name are exactly the same as before." ”
"So you dodge him in every way because you believe in your so-called magic weapon?" Gu Huanli still felt absurd.
But he didn't know that the so-called Kunlun Mirror was actually Lu Xuan's memory, and when she mentioned it, she couldn't control the tears of resentment in her eyes.
Seeing Gu Huanli's questioning, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness should listen to the story told by the lower official, in short, the lower official will never allow this matter to happen again." ”
Although Gu Huanli found it difficult to accept what Lu Xuan said, he could also understand her feelings that she would rather believe what she has than what she doesn't have in order to keep her family safe, so she no longer questioned it.
"Then what are you going to do, do you want this king to make a move?" Gu Huan Li didn't care if what Lu Xuan said was true or not, after all, as long as she said a word, he could ask Li Ce to die in a few minutes without a place to be buried.
But Lu Xuan didn't want to end there, in his previous life, how could Li Ce owe the Lu family a cheap life that can be repaid? If he hadn't been tortured and hated in this life, she would have died in vain.
Thinking like this, Lu Xuan immediately shook his head: "No need, I want to understand this matter clearly before making a decision, and I ask His Highness for permission." ”
Seeing Lu Xuan's serious and serious appearance, Gu Huanli didn't think much about it, it was her own family affair after all, and he really shouldn't interfere.
"Okay, this king will believe what you say, but since Li Ce has colluded with King Chang, your current power will definitely not be enough to compete with him, so don't act impulsively." Gu Huanli reminded Lu Xuan.
She breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Your Highness for mentioning something, if Your Highness has no orders, the lower officials will retire first." ”
After saying that, Lu Xuan left immediately, looking at her resolute back, as if everything she had just said had really happened, Gu Huanli couldn't help but feel worried.
"Lin Wei, send someone to secretly monitor that Li Ce, beware of him being unfavorable to Lu Xuan." Gu Huanli instructed Lin Wei, and then he repeatedly recalled what Lu Xuan had just said.
On the other hand, Chen Weizhi originally had a little appreciation for Li Ce's talent, but when Gu Huanli said this today, he couldn't help but feel a mustard in his heart.
"What His Royal Highness the Fierce King said is true?" Chen Weizhi muttered to himself.
If what Gu Huanli said was false, why did he go on this trip in person? But even if it was really as he said, with his friendship with Chen Weizhi on weekdays, he would be so kind to come to the door to remind him?
Chen Weizhi was in a dilemma, so he simply rejected what Gu Huanli said, and really treated all his words as if he was listening, and then gradually calmed down.
Coincidentally, at this time, Li Ce also came to the door: "Chen Langzhong, subordinate Li Ce asks to see." ”
When Chen Weiyi heard this name, he couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and he was stunned for a moment before allowing him to come in.
"Lord Chen, this is the tax situation in various places this year sorted out by the lower officials, please take a look." Li Ce respectfully handed the file in his hand to Chen Weizhi.
Chen Weizhi carefully flipped through Li Ce's "masterpiece", that is, when he was in his position, he might not be able to be as in-depth and meticulous as him.
Thinking of this, everything that Gu Huanli said instantly turned into ashes in Chen Wei's mind.
"There's a Laurie Wailang." Chen Weizhi politely responded to Li Ce.
Li Ce was full of smiles: "It is the honor of the subordinate to be able to do his duty for the household department. ”
These words are usually the mantra of those who are accustomed to flattery, and Li Ce has said a lot before, but Chen Weizhi has not taken it to heart, but at this time, this sentence made him listen to it so well.
Thinking of this, Chen Wei's heart couldn't help but waver a little: "By the way, Li Yuanwailang has been here for so long, and the official has not asked where you served before, why did you handle all the affairs of the household department in such an orderly manner in just half a month." ”
Hearing this, Li Ce's eyes couldn't help but have a hint of dodge, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Xia Guan is just a newcomer to officialdom, and Lord Chen praised it falsely. ”
New to officialdom? It's no wonder that Chen Weizhi couldn't find out everything about Li Ce's past, but this is even more strange-
As Gu Huanli said, how can a newcomer take such an important position in the household department as soon as he comes? When Lu Xuan joined the Criminal Department, he had accumulated political achievements for a long time.
In this way, if Li Ce really has no background, even Chen Weizhi can't believe it.
"Then I don't know if there are any relatives in Li Yuanwailang's family?" Chen Weizhi asked.
Li Ce shook his head: "Xia Guan is just a lonely child." ”
