"Probably not." Li Su hesitated to answer, and got a cold glance from Junyue.

Li Su silently bowed her head to eat, well, it was indeed her offense.

Marquis Su originally wanted to mention the matter of the younger sister of the Li family, but he didn't know how to speak.

Neither of them dared to touch the unhappy LaCrosse mildew, so the dinner table was exceptionally quiet, and it was not easy to hold on until the end to send away his grandson and the Li family boy, and Marquis Su only felt a little tired.

He walked around the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and suddenly thought of what Li Su said, and then called the housekeeper: "You let people go to the palace to see, is Concubine Lian's body okay?" ”

"Yes, sir."

In the palace of the lotus concubine, the lotus concubine in a lilac palace dress is leaning on the chaise longue, on one side there is a maid kneading her legs, and the palace maid massages her shoulders, and the incense burner next to her rises with green smoke, so that the good smell of pear blossoms permeates the hall, and the breeze throws itself through the door curtain, stirring the bead curtains on both sides.

Concubine Lian's ink-colored hair hung down to the side, the two extreme colors of coquettishness and nobility were presented on her face, her complexion was delicate and soft, and the corners of her eyes were tight without a trace of wrinkles, and she couldn't tell that she was in her thirties at all, just like a girl in her twenties, and the whole person exuded a soft air, which was very harmless.

But the palace maids who were waiting on both sides did not dare to slack off in the slightest, everyone's movements were extremely fine and very fast, as if they were trained in an orderly manner, after all, if they did not do well and provoked Concubine Lian's anger, it would be an extreme sin.

After all, this master is the emperor's favorite concubine, and under his knees, there is such an outstanding son as His Royal Highness King Yue.

Listening to the report from the people below, Concubine Lian's eyes that had been closed slowly opened open, revealing a thrilling beauty in an instant.

"Oh? Father sent someone? Come in, please. ”

The person who came knelt in the hall, hung his head on the ground, and did not dare to spy on the people above, explaining what the Hou Ye commanded.

Concerned about her body, Concubine Lian's eyes flashed, and she said softly: "You go and tell your father, so that he doesn't have to worry, Bengong's body is excellent, and there is no problem." ”

"Yes, sis." The people below were about to retreat, and listened to Concubine Lian again.

"My father's health is not good, so I don't let him worry about the old man for no reason, who has my father seen recently?"

"Back to Niangniang, early this morning, Hou Ye invited Li Shizi to the mansion as a guest, and in the evening, His Royal Highness also went, Hou Ye is very happy today." The person below replied.

"Really? It's really boring for my father to be alone at home, so it's okay to have someone with you, you tell your father that the palace will go to see him instead. Concubine Lian pondered for a moment before speaking.

This leaving the palace may be a very troublesome thing for other concubines, but it is only a matter of words for her.

"It's a sissy."

After the messenger left, Concubine Lian's eyes still fell on the door, her fingers moved slightly, and the palace people who were waiting next to her retreated, leaving only two palace maids who were close to her.

"How's the investigation going?" She asked.

"Back to the mother, in this ceremony, there have indeed been some changes, the princess who has been praying for a long time has returned, but the old princess is seriously ill in the courtyard and does not see outsiders." The maid replied in a low voice.

"Seriously ill? It's interesting. Concubine Lian smiled lightly, her beautiful face full of sarcasm.

"What about the others?"

"This Lishizi, it is indeed a little strange, he was obviously a gentleman who wandered around the flower alleys before, but now he has learned medical skills from somewhere, and now in the courtyard, the defense is extremely tight, and the people who serve in the Liwang Mansion have also changed, and it is difficult to find out the news from it." The palace maid said in a low voice, and in the next second, she felt Sen Leng's gaze fall on her, and the palace maid quickly knelt on the ground.

"The things that this palace explains, it is extremely difficult to send this palace, since it is so useless, then please leave, this palace, I don't like people who are not good at hand." Concubine Lian's voice was still faint, but the palace maid's face turned pale in an instant.

This is a self-invitation to leave, but not a simple departure, but a death.

She tried to beg for mercy, but before she could say anything, she was taken down by someone who suddenly appeared behind her.

Concubine Lian put down the hand supporting her chin and looked ahead: "No matter how tight it is, there are clues to be found, go, this palace needs to get news from the old princess." ”

"Yes." The palace maid next to her hurriedly replied.

Concubine Lian raised her eyes and looked at the sky outside, with a complicated hatred in her eyes: "The Li family, is there still a secret hidden?" It's a pity, this palace will never bypass anyone from the Li family. ”

She will never allow it, Yue'er's side, there is a person with the surname Li, and all people with the surname Li should die.

However, this courtesy, it seems, has become suspicious of her, and wants to investigate her? Then it's up to who's better.

"Are people ready?" She asked after a moment's silence.

The palace maid who stood behind her and had not said anything hurriedly said, "It's ready." ”

Concubine Lian snorted, and then walked towards the inner hall, and the palace maid behind her touched it in a dark side, and a secret opening suddenly appeared on the book wall that was originally arranged in an orderly manner, and she couldn't see the bottom for a while.

Who would have thought that in the elegant and comfortable palace of Concubine Lian, there would be such a secret passage.

Concubine Lian changed her clothes and put on a cloak again, and then the palace maid walked into the dark passage with the lamp.

The two turned around for a long time, but they arrived at a courtyard outside the palace, which was dark, and the palace maid stepped forward and knocked on the wooden door a few times, and there was a light in the house.

Concubine Lian walked in, the people inside opened the door and saluted Concubine Lian, Concubine Lian looked around indifferently, and then fell on the boy who was tied to the wall, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

"Is it safe to come here?" Concubine Lian asked.

"Don't worry, master, it's absolutely safe." The man in the room replied.

Concubine Lian waved her hand, and the people in the house and the palace maid retreated, closing the door, and then Concubine Lian opened the cloak on her body and approached the young man.

At this moment, it was illuminated by the light, but I found that Concubine Lian's face, which was originally like a shelled egg, had some wrinkles at the moment, and her fair skin looked a little weird and ugly like the bark of a tree.

She reached out and touched her face, her eyes were a little dry, and then she pinched the young man's face, stretched her head over and inhaled hard, and when she smelled the fiery masculine breath of the young man's body, her face was much soothed.

Now, the support time is getting shorter and shorter, Concubine Lian hates her current self, no human being, no ghost or ghost, but his descendants are not dead, she is not dead, how can she be willing to die? She had to live, and to live, she had to do something special.

With a slip of her fingertips, she made a cut in the pulse of the young man's neck, and the breath on her body sank, and a gray-black breath gushed out of her body, making people feel uncomfortable, and she used her strength to lead the blood from the young man into a thin stream, and then transformed it into a black-red liquid, before opening her mouth and swallowing it, endlessly.

The two palace maids who were waiting outside heard the young man's muffled and painful shouts from inside, and they couldn't help but shudder and lowered their heads.

After about a quarter of an hour, the door was opened, and Concubine Lian stepped out of it, her face without a cloak on her head, and her face, which had just been like the bark of an old tree, had been restored to a beautiful face.

"Take care of it." She gave the order and walked forward.

Li Su rested at home for a few days, this Yulin Courtyard inevitably piled up a lot of things, she went to be busy for a day, and when she rested, it was already afternoon.

When she arrived at the dining room, there were other people in Yulin Courtyard, and when they saw Lisu coming, they all smiled and said hello, which shows that Lisu has been getting along very well with everyone these days.

When she put down the dishes and chopsticks and was about to go out, she saw a person sitting on the steps outside, with a sad face, Lisu knew, this was in the study who was responsible for sorting out books, named Lu Sheng.

"What's wrong?" She thought about it and stepped forward to ask, this Lu Sheng is a very honest person, and he treats people warmly, every time she goes to the academy to look for a book, she will find him at a very fast speed, and she looks at her with a kind of admiration.

"Mr. Auditor."

When Lu Sheng saw that it was her, he couldn't help but quickly stand up and looked at her a little crampedly.

"Did something happen?" Resu glanced at the letter in his hand and asked again.

Lu Sheng was a little hesitant, after all, it was a matter of his own family, and Lisu was busy with official business, so it was naturally difficult to say, but he was just a boy who watched the academy, and he took some monthly silver to support him, so he had no ability at all, and he couldn't find anyone to help.

Looking at Lisu's concerned eyes, Lu Sheng still gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground with his knees bent and said, "Lord Supervisor, please help the little one." ”

It turns out that this Lu Sheng is not from Kyoto, but a person from a mountain village in a relatively remote county nearby, who found such a good errand as a scholar in Yulin Academy by chance, and stayed here to make money to support his family, this stay is ten years past, and now he is in his twenties, and he has not married his own children, not that he has no money to marry a wife, but that he has a younger brother in the family who is more promising, and he can read and write at a few years old, and he has a talent for reading.

The parents at home are farming for a living, have no culture, and don't know what the use of reading can be, but Lu Sheng knows that he has been in Kyoto for a few years in Yulin Academy, and has seen many adults and nobles, and knows that reading can change their fate.

Therefore, Lu Sheng gritted his teeth and decided to send his younger brother to study in a private school, let him study hard, and work hard to earn money for him to study.
