Chapter 31: A Dispute in the Garden
"Where's the injury?" Ye Xizhi hurried with Fu Bo, and he glanced at Li Wei with his eyes. There were no external injuries in the visible area, and from the face, except for the pale complexion, a little sweat on the forehead and cheeks, it did not seem to be poisoned.
"I'm fine."
Li did not hesitate to say such an understatement, which instantly ignited the anger in Zhao Qingcheng's heart. When she reset the affected area on her own, she was obviously in a cold sweat and her face was pale. Even if she was biting the silk handkerchief, Zhao Qingcheng seemed to be able to hear the "gurgling" sound between her teeth due to the clenching of the silk handkerchief. Looking at it, Li Weixi's bare feet were obviously more swollen than before. Even if it's a minor injury, what if it doesn't handle it properly and it becomes a cripple in the future! How can a woman pay so much attention to her image! Zhao Qing was angry, but he didn't regret this attitude of not taking himself seriously.
"Send Ye Gongzi home." Zhao Qingcheng threw down this sentence and threw away his sleeves.
Fu Bo didn't dare to disobey Zhao Qingcheng's order, and he was afraid that Zhao Qingcheng would blame him for not knowing how to respond after he really sent Ye Xizhi back home. The dilemma of Fu Bo simply stood in place and let Ye Xizhi decide to stay at his own discretion.
Ye Xizhi was even more inexplicable. He didn't know what sin he had done in his previous life, and he would be treated like this by Zhao Qingcheng in this life!
Tonight, Zhao Qingcheng left him and left the Joy Pavilion, leaving him alone to face Liu Rumeng, who was crying incessantly, he explained and coaxed, and tried his best to appease Liu Rumeng and leave the Joy Pavilion. It was nearly midnight when he returned to the mansion, and not long after Ye Xizhi finished cleaning up and lay down on the bed, he was called away by the people in Zhao Qingcheng's mansion, saying that "the princess is injured". He asked about Li Weixi's injury, and only said, "The princess was carried back to the palace by the prince, I'm afraid that the injury is not light", and when he heard this, Ye Xizhi hurriedly got on the soft sedan chair and rushed to the palace, and even the clothes were neatly dressed in the soft sedan chair. Who would have thought that he had just arrived, and he didn't have time to diagnose, and Zhao Qingcheng actually had to send someone to send him back.
Ye Xizhi's anger didn't come to one place, he shouted and scolded Zhao Qingcheng's back: "Zhao Qingcheng, you are sick!" ”
Zhao Qingcheng left without even looking back, but Li did not hesitate to explain to Ye Xizhi a little embarrassed.
Ye Xizhi sighed helplessly, "Since I'm here, you might as well let me take a look at your injuries." ”
For Ye Xizhi, Li didn't seem to have any scruples, she took off the socks on the injured foot and asked Ye Xizhi to diagnose her.
After Ye Xizhi's consultation, he explained a few words to Li Weixi and Fu Bo and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Weixi. It turned out that Li didn't hesitate to let Ye Xizhi also take a look at Chuntao, but Ye Xizhi also agreed with a quick bite. Fortunately, Chun Tao was fine, and after Li did not hesitate to let Fu Bo send Ye Xi away, he stayed in Chun Tao's room for a while before getting up and going back to the room.
Fu Bo sent Ye Xizhi away and came directly to the study to resume his life, "Lord, I have sent someone to send Ye Gongzi back to the house." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Qingcheng continued to flip through the books in his hand, but said in his mouth: "Did Xi Zhi say anything before leaving?" ”
"Ye Gongzi asked the old slave to find some ice cubes for the princess to wear, and also prescribed some prescriptions to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, saying that it would be taken by the princess after twelve hours, and it would be back to normal after more than ten days." Fu Bo knew that Zhao Qingcheng was angry and left on the surface, but he was still worried about the princess's injury in his heart.
"Go and rest!"
"Yes." Fauber stepped back.
After Fu Bo left, Zhao Qingcheng closed the book. He paced back and forth in the study, and finally pushed the door and left the study.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After leaving Chuntao's room, Li did not hesitate to walk with a limp due to a foot injury, for fear that the injured foot would be stressed again, so he walked very slowly.
Walking alone in this huge palace in the middle of the night is still a little infiltrating. Fortunately, when the bright moon is in the sky, there is the sound of insects as a companion, and the occasional breeze blows makes Li Weixi feel very comfortable. She closed her eyes and opened her arms to enjoy the moon, the chirping of insects, the breeze and the silence.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." A familiar voice came into Li Weixi's eardrums, which also interrupted her mood at the moment.
Li didn't hesitate to follow the sound, and there were actually people practicing swords in the garden at midnight! This "whoosh" sound is made by the wind hitting the body of the sword. In another world, she often danced her sword to her parents there, so she was particularly familiar with this sound.
Li didn't hesitate to know who this person was without looking, who else would dare to play a sword in King Yan's Mansion at midnight except for Zhao Qingcheng! However, Zhao Qingcheng's swordsmanship is really superb. The sword seemed to come alive in his hands, sometimes turning into a silver serpent that spits letters, sometimes turning into dust without a shadow; Sometimes it is like flowing water, and sometimes it is like thunder and lightning. Li was stunned and intoxicated, and forgot all about the unhappiness of the two before.
Zhao Qingcheng really can't let go of the man in black who led the way for him, who is this person? What is the identity? And what is the purpose? Troubled by these questions, he couldn't sleep peacefully, so he came to the garden to practice his sword.
After practicing a set of swordsmanship, Zhao Qing took the sword to collect the merits.
"Why don't you come to the garden to rest so late?" Zhao Qingcheng already knew that Li did not hesitate to step into the garden, not to mention that she watched him practice swords so blatantly.
"When I heard the sound, I saw that the prince's swordsmanship was so unpredictable that it was dazzling, so I stopped." Li did not hesitate to tell the truth.
"Deeper, I'll send you back to your room." Zhao Qingcheng didn't seem to take the previous matter to heart, he reached out to help him.
This time, Li did not hesitate to refuse Zhao Qingcheng's kindness, and happily accepted it. She found that with Zhao Qingcheng's support, even if she was lame, she could walk a lot.
"Hou Mansion, thank you." After returning from the Hou Mansion today, he never met Zhao Qingcheng, and then because of the attack, Li did not hesitate to find a chance to thank him.
Zhao Qingcheng looked at her fixedly, she suddenly mentioned the matter of the Hou Mansion and thanked him, which made Zhao Qingcheng very surprised, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "That's it?" Zhao Qingcheng didn't conform to his usual style, and actually teased her.
Who knew that Li did not hesitate to take out a piece of paper from his arms very seriously, and looked directly at him, "This is for you, that's all I can do." “
Zhao Qingcheng looked at her suspiciously, stretched out his hand to take it, and then looked at the moonlight.
I saw that it said, "I don't regret it, I owe Zhao Qing a favor today, and I am willing to do something for him in return, and I will use this as a basis." (Note: What Zhao Qingcheng asked for must be within the scope of Li Wei's willingness and ability, and because it is in line with the law, humanity, and morality.) Recipient: I don't regret it. ”
The corners of Zhao Qingcheng's mouth twitched, and she directly tore up this note, she thought that she couldn't do it like her! He squeezed the words out between his teeth, "This king doesn't need it. “
Li didn't hesitate to care, "I owe you this time." She insisted that she didn't like to owe favors.
"Whatever you want."
Zhao Qingcheng was obviously unhappy, she couldn't see it, Li Wei just didn't want to have too much to do with him, and once the deadline for her agreement with the princess arrived, it would be convenient to withdraw.
After a long silence, Zhao Qingcheng suddenly spoke: "Xunhuan Pavilion is not the place you should go. ”
Zhao Qingcheng's stiff tone was like an order, which made Li Weixi very uncomfortable. She couldn't help choking and said, "Allow you men to go to look for flowers and ask willows, can't we women go to drink tea and listen to music?" Li Weixi was just casually talking, but seeing that Zhao Qingcheng did not deny it, he knew that he was right.
"If you want to drink tea and listen to music, go to the teahouse, Xunhuan Pavilion is not a good place." Zhao Qingcheng's words seemed to be a reminder and a warning.
"The prince knows that Xunhuan Pavilion is not a good place, why did he open it in the first place!" As far as Zhao Qingcheng is concerned, he is not willing to buy it.
Zhao Qingcheng also seemed to be angry, "This king doesn't need to explain to you when he does things. ”
"Then I don't need to worry about where I go." Li did not hesitate to shake Zhao Qingcheng's hand and walked alone with a limp.
What should be gone and what should not be done, men can do the same, and women can do the same. Growing up in another world made her understand that men are not women's heaven, and there is nothing that men can do but women cannot. Although there is still patriarchy in this world, Zhao Qingcheng has some understanding of other worlds, and even Queen Taizu has come to another world, and his statement that he is no different from ordinary people is her breaking point.
Looking at the back of Li Weihe's departure, Zhao Qingcheng sighed deeply and followed. He didn't understand why he always lost every time he quarreled with her, and he was obviously angry with her, but he was willing to compromise.
Looking at Zhao Qingcheng chasing beside him, Li did not hesitate to reflect. After all, he can't be like a man from another world, and there is really no need to dwell on this.
"I've been in another world for a long time, and I don't have the idea of male superiority and inferiority." Li did not hesitate to tell Zhao Qingcheng simply and clearly.
"This king just doesn't want to happen again tonight, after all, not every time this king can arrive in time." He looked at Li Wei, who was struggling to walk, and did not hesitate to reach out again to help.
Li Wei regrets to like such openness and honesty, and there is no need to be suspicious of each other. It's good to express your thoughts and attitudes.
"Tonight was an accident, and there will never be a next time." This is not a promise to Zhao Qingcheng, it is a requirement for herself. She can't let the people around her get into danger anymore, let alone let herself lose her life in vain in this kind of thing, after all, so many lives in the Hou Mansion are still waiting for her to take revenge.
"Why did you go to the Joy Pavilion?" Zhao Qingcheng still didn't understand the purpose of Li Weihe's going to Xunhuan Pavilion, but he didn't think that Li Weixi would be okay out of curiosity, and the woman disguised himself as a man to go to the kiln.
"For that lawsuit." Li Weixi was even more puzzled, why did Zhao Qingcheng knowingly ask, "If I don't go to find out the truth and understand the ins and outs of the incident, how can I help Miss Liu solve this matter, and how can you stay out of the matter." ”
Zhao Qingcheng had already forgotten all about this matter, and he didn't hesitate to mention it before he remembered it. It's not that he's forgetful, it's just that when it comes to Liu Rumeng, he will reflexively shield it.
"Did the investigation go well?" Zhao Qingcheng didn't expect Li to do what he said and move so fast. Thinking about it, she can't delay it in just three days. However, it was not easy for Li to think of changing his disguise and sneaking into the Joy Pavilion to understand the truth first, and this alone made Zhao Qingcheng feel that it should not be underestimated.
"Well, it's easier than I thought." Things that can be solved with silver are not difficult in Li Weixi's opinion.
"But ······" Li didn't hesitate to think about it, "Ming'er, I still have to go to some places, some things have to be confirmed, and I have to go to Xunhuan Pavilion again." ”
"Ming'er, you are not allowed to go anywhere, the king will send someone to help you do those things." Zhao Qingcheng didn't think that Li Wei hesitated to drag this lame leg to how many places he could go, and even if he went, he didn't know when he would be able to return home. In case of misfortune and encountering a scoundrel, it will make him work hard.
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Li did not hesitate to take out a few pieces of paper from his waist and handed them to Zhao Qingcheng, "The prince asked people to go to this address, and all the questions I want to know are also here." This is the plan of action she originally wrote, and the doubts in her mind.
Zhao Qing took it, and put it away without looking at it.
Looking at the door that was close at hand, Li did not hesitate to look up at Zhao Qingcheng, and asked without warning: "Lord Wang, have you ever thought of marrying Miss Liu?" ”
Zhao Qingcheng frowned, "Why did you have such a question?" He didn't know why Li Wuxi would suddenly mention Liu Rumeng.
From Zhao Qingcheng's reaction, Li Wei hesitated to roughly guess one or two. She sighed secretly in her heart, and stood up again, "If the prince has a heart, even if he can't marry Miss Liu immediately, he should explain the relationship between you and me to Miss Liu clearly, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." On the contrary, the prince should make it clear to Miss Liu as soon as possible. After all, a woman's youth is only a few years, so don't let Miss Liu be tender and hateful, delaying her. ”
Li did not hesitate to do this, not because she wanted to occupy the position of princess, but for another reason. During the trip to Xunhuan Pavilion, she had a new understanding of Liu Rumeng, this woman seemed to be weak and deceitful on the surface, but in fact she had some means, and she also had some strength to never give up until she reached her goal. She really didn't want to make enemies with Zhao Qingcheng because of her, after all, there was still something to be investigated about the matter back then, and she had no time to deal with Liu Rumeng.
is also a woman, Li did not hesitate to feel that Liu Rumeng was worthy of sympathy, whether it was Liu Rumeng's life experience, or Liu Rumeng's feelings for Zhao Qingcheng, they were. Just because Li didn't hesitate to feel that Liu Rumeng was pitiful, he didn't tell Zhao Qingcheng what he heard in Xunhuan Pavilion. She didn't want Liu Rumeng's current behavior to destroy Zhao Qingcheng's good memories of her childhood sweetheart, and she didn't want to embarrass Liu Rumeng at night.
"I've arrived." It's a pity that there is no need to listen to Zhao Qingcheng's answer, after all, this is a matter between him and Liu Rumeng, and it has nothing to do with her.
Therefore, she didn't give Zhao Qingcheng a chance to speak, and said, "Lord Wang, thank you for sending me back to the room." Go back and rest! After speaking, Li didn't hesitate to push the door directly with a limp without looking back.
Zhao Qingcheng looked at the closed door, turned to the night, and said to himself: "This king thinks that he has made his words very clear today. ”
