Chapter 381: Who's Laughing
The snow melted, and the silvery white that had been covered in snow gradually lost its power, reducing its scope, and the original colors of buildings, trees, and other scenery were slowly revealed.
Winter has gone, and spring is approaching, although it is still so cold, but watching the tough grass on the black and brown earth take the lead in sending out tender green shoots, I also feel the warmth not far away.
It's just that Gonggong Li didn't feel like this at all at this time, especially when he saw Xuanyuan Yichen's unkind face, he felt a chill to the bone, as if he was overwhelmed by an iceberg, couldn't turn over, and was about to freeze into an iceman.
Seeing Xuanyuan Yichen's uncertain expression on his face, looking at himself casually, Gonggong Li only felt that he was sweating like frost, and he shivered and took out a sweat towel from his sleeve, and wiped the thin sweat on his forehead delicately, but when he heard Xuanyuan Yichen speak without warning, he trembled all over, and his heart almost jumped out.
"Why, this time Gonggong Li came alone, didn't the emperor send Sun Baosun to follow him?" Through a silver-white mask, Xuanyuan Yichen did not hide his naked disgust for Gonggong Li, and the first sentence he said almost frightened Gonggong Li's courage. Seeing that Gonggong Li looked weak and about to faint, his heart was even more bored, and the cold light under the mask was a little colder.
"Lord Wang......" is like a mouse seeing a cat, Gonggong Li is not only trembling in his body, but even his voice trembles, but after all, he is a eunuch in front of the emperor, what kind of battle has he never seen? After a pause, he took a deep breath, and still insisted on finishing his words, "The prince laughed, Sun Bao committed such a big crime, and the emperor has always sent people around to find Sun Bao's whereabouts, but this Sun Bao is too good at hiding, and there has been no news." But the prince must believe that in time, Sun Bao will definitely be found and give the prince and the princess an explanation! If Xuanyuan Yichen didn't know the truth, I'm afraid he would really believe it, but it's a pity......
"Gonggong Li, you and Sun Bao are on duty in the palace together, and they are both the closest people to the emperor. It stands to reason that the relationship between the two of you should not be bad, and you don't have any private information to tell and provide clues? Xuanyuan Yichen was too lazy to listen to these nonsense and empty words, and said it unhurriedly, seemingly carelessly, but it was straight to the point and hit the nail on the head.
"Lord Wang!" Gonggong Li's body trembled even more, seeing that it was not enough to hug a back, his legs were about to bend down and fall to the ground, "Lord Wang, the slave maid is really not familiar with Sun Bao, and he has never seen two or three sides in total, let alone a bad relationship." If the slave and maid knew anything, they must have said it a long time ago, and you must believe the slave and maid! "If I really have a good relationship with Sun Bao, I'm afraid that if I can't catch Sun Bao, I will definitely use him directly! This black cauldron, he can't carry it anyway!
Xuanyuan Yichen himself knew that it was a vain question to ask him, even if it was out of his own bad taste or just to look at Gonggong Li unpleasantly, he had to ask this sentence. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Yichen couldn't help but wonder, it seemed that unconsciously, Liu Qingyan's habits were contaminated, didn't he?
He didn't know that the palace had been looking for Sun Bao and there had been no news of him, but he always suspected that maybe Sun Bao had indeed returned to the palace, because only the palace was the safest place for him, so if he dared to do something to the idle king and the idle princess in front of so many people in the idle palace, the emperor would definitely take him seriously.
Although Sun Bao was seriously injured that day, as long as he did not die, he would definitely find a way to heal the injuries on his body. The best place in the world for medicine and medicine is naturally the palace, and the emperor will be happy to act as his behind-the-scenes umbrella. Maybe he still expects that day when Sun Bao's injuries heal, he can look for an opportunity to seek revenge on King Xian and Princess Xian.
Although he has been sending people to search and search, there has been no further news, as long as Sun Bao is still in this world, Xuanyuan Yichen feels that Sun Bao is still very likely to return to the palace. With the emperor taking the lead in covering him, Xuanyuan Yichen couldn't find him, so it was easy to make sense. He didn't expect Gonggong Li to really know anything, and even if he knew, he didn't expect Gonggong Li to really say anything, and asking was just a casual question.
"Tell me, what are you here for?" Gonggong Li looks quite pitiful like this, he is also a single person in the palace, and everyone has to grovel and flatter a few words when they see it, but after coming to the Xianwang Mansion, he has become a person who is about to bow to the dust, Xuanyuan Yichen didn't want to scare him anymore, so he turned the topic to the main topic.
"Lord, the emperor and the noble concubine, please make sure you and the princess must attend tonight's palace banquet." Gonggong Li knew that King Xian would not embarrass himself for the time being, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he spoke a lot more fluently, not to mention that this was almost a sentence that he would say every time he came to King Xian's mansion.
Xuanyuan Yichen couldn't help but roll his eyes, what else could it be besides this, he really asked more, but he still had to ask one more question: "Did the emperor and the noble concubine say anything?" Or did they do some extra preparation? Every time they meet, Xuanyuan Yichen always has to doubt that in addition to this high-sounding reason on the surface, behind the scenes, the emperor and the noble concubine can come up with any other way to frame himself and Liu Qingyan. This is not his superfluous move, and it has almost become an established pattern between the two sides.
"The prince laughed." Gonggong Li didn't need to say much to understand the meaning of Xuanyuan Yichen's words, he could only shake his head, but the eyes that flickered and didn't dare to look directly at Xuanyuan Yichen showed that he still knew something but didn't dare and couldn't say it.
"This king thinks that Gonggong Li is joking." Xuanyuan Yichen smiled coldly and said, "Or does Gonggong Li think that this king has always been too good to Gonggong Li, so Gonggong Li is still in the mood to laugh at this time?" Although he said these words with a smile, it made Gonggong Li absolutely scared for a while.
"The prince is serious...... Gonggong Li still wanted to fool the past, but seeing Xuanyuan Yichen's suddenly cold gaze, he hurriedly said, "The emperor and the noble concubine really don't know what slaves and maids want to do, but the noble concubine herself said that she must find a way to invite the princess and the princess to the banquet, and the noble concubine said that she hadn't seen the princess for a long time, and she missed it very much, so please both the prince and the princess must attend!" If the princess is really unwell and can't come, the prince must come too! ”
Hehe...... Can't wait to die? Xuanyuan Yichen laughed angrily when he heard this, and looked at Gonggong Li without saying a word, only seeing Gonggong Li's face pale and cold sweat on his forehead. But at this time, Gonggong Li's legs and feet were weak, and he only relied on his hands to support his body, neither could nor dared to detect sweat.
"The princess can not go, but the king must go." Xuanyuan Yichen said coldly, it seems that this time it is more aimed at him. It's just that his feeling tells him that this time it doesn't seem that the emperor and the noble concubine have come up with any "good way" to deal with him, but more like the noble concubine wants to do something to him.
He didn't forget what the noble concubine did when she came to the Xian Wang's mansion in person. The Xian Wangfu has been closed for so long, the only exception is yesterday's Prince Mengguo and Jian Jiu after that, even the noble concubine was stopped outside, she hadn't seen her for so long, she probably wanted to see herself again or take the opportunity to do something. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, since they have to come out to find death, he has no reason not to do it, right? To this day, there is nothing else to worry about in the Xianwang Mansion.
Gonggong Li lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he couldn't confirm or deny this kind of thing with his mouth at all. He also knew in his heart that it was certain that the emperor and the noble concubine wanted to mistreat the prince and the princess, but recently, he had become less and less important to the emperor and the noble concubine, and it was normal for him not to know any more situations.
Clearly knowing that there are bad or even dangerous things in front of him and waiting for him, if it is usual, Xuanyuan Yichen may go and go. But this time he and Liu Qingyan's bodies were not very convenient, he had already discussed with Liu Qingyan and made up his mind not to go, but after hearing what Gonggong Li said, he changed his mind instead. He really wanted Liu Qingyan, who was still busy with Jian Jiu's "sister-brother relationship" at this moment, and found himself such a powerful competitor as the Prince of Mengguo, but when he ignored himself for the time being, Leng suddenly realized that he also had other equally powerful people to covet!
Gave the Li Gong bus to the housekeeper, Xuanyuan Yichen walked back, passed through the idle garden, continued to walk to the front, and came to Yunshu Courtyard, and heard the excitement inside while still outside, and after entering, he saw that Liu Qingyan was still here with Jian Jiu is still happy, and said something. And it seems that since he left, these two people have spoken more cheerfully and energetically.
