Chapter 73: No one can be cruel to her
Li Mao looked at Qin Zhiyi on the other side, and intuitively felt that her words below would be a little shocking.
He pursed his lips unconsciously, and even his back straightened a little.
Sure enough, Qin Zhiyi said the next moment: "Aunt Xu, do you know? I have been taken care of by the prince's side since I was a child. The prince went out of the palace to build a mansion, and she was appointed by His Majesty to send her to serve the prince's diet and daily life. β
Li Mao nodded solemnly and said, "Aunt Xu, I know, it's just that she wasn't ...... some time ago."
"Yes, dead." Qin Zhiyi said lightly: "I was also punished by the Queen Mother for this, twenty rods, and I was asked for half my life." β
Li Mao: "......"
Qin Zhiyi: "Do you know how Aunt Xu died?" β
Li Mao's eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Qin Zhiyi in shock, and asked tentatively, "Didn't you mean...... Died? β
Qin Zhiyi smiled and didn't answer immediately, but turned his head to look at Gu Nanfeng, and said gently: "Nanfeng, cover your ears and don't listen." β
Gu Nanfeng blinked, then obediently covered his ears, and looked at Qin Zhiyi with a pair of eyes.
Qin Zhiyi smiled at him, then he looked back at Li Mao, lowered his voice and said, "I killed it." β
Li Mao's expression froze, and it took a long time to find his voice and ask, "You, why did you do this?" That's the closest person to the prince, you ......"
"Why?" Qin Zhiyi directly interrupted Li Mao's words and said in a very soft voice: "Because, she wants to harm my husband." I'm a bit of a short-sighted, and whoever dares to touch my person, I'll fight with him. β
Li Mao: "......"
The amount of information was too much, and Li Mao was dizzy, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
His face changed repeatedly, and finally he frowned deeply.
Qin Zhiyi's expression was calm, he looked at Li Mao and said, "Lord Li, do you think Your Majesty is a person of unknown origin?" The people sent to the palace by His Majesty himself will still have problems, so how can the people you send them ensure that there will not be any problems? β
Li Mao: "......"
Qin Zhiyi was silent for a moment, and then said again: "You say, the prince is like this, there is no need for you to harm him." Then tell me, the prince is like this now, is it necessary for the one above to harm the prince? If it's not him, who is the master behind Aunt Xu? β
When she had said this, she was silent.
Speaking of which, she was a little impulsive when she said this today.
The master behind Aunt Xu, as well as the peony buried under the plum tree, she didn't find out.
In this case, it is dangerous to rashly reveal the news to Li Mao.
She was almost gambling, betting that Li Mao and these old ministers were sincere in defending Gu Nanfeng in the Taihe Palace.
She stared at Li Mao tightly, and the slightest change in Li Mao's expression couldn't escape her eyes.
Li Mao's expression was ugly, as if he couldn't believe that this kind of thing could happen.
He was silent for a long time before he said, "These...... We don't know. I never expected that Aunt Xu would have a problem...... She has taken care of the prince since she was a child, how could she ......"
Li Mao closed his eyes and hid the undercurrent in his eyes.
Qin Zhiyi looked at him and said slowly, "Master Li, do you think that in this case, I can still let your people get close to the prince?" β
Li Mao's expression was a little anxious, his eyes kept going back and forth between Gu Nanfeng and Qin Zhiyi, he was unwilling, and he wanted to fight: "Princess, the old minister has no intention of harming the prince. The person sent by the old minister also knows absolutely that there will be no problems. Princess, the prince really needs such a person around him, please believe the minister this time. β
Qin Zhiyi's eyes didn't change for a moment, and said, "Lord Li, I am very grateful to you, and I trust you very much. However, if you want to release people to the prince's side, or put some skilled people, this is absolutely not possible. β
"Princess......
"Master Li, it's not too early, you should go back." Qin Zhiyi said in a deep voice: "The prince is injured and needs to rest. β
Li Mao: "......"
He frowned, and at last he had no choice but to stand up and say, "That being the case, the old minister has retired." β
Qin Zhiyi didn't look at him, turned his head to look at Gu Nanfeng, and pulled down his hand covering his ears.
Gu Nanfeng: "Can I listen?" β
Qin Zhiyi nodded: "Yes." β
Gu Nanfeng became happy and asked, "What did you say?" β
Qin Zhiyi shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything, it's just ......"
"Lord Wang," Li Mao went and returned, turned around and knelt in front of Gu Nanfeng, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, there are a few capable people around the old minister, I want to send them to take care of the prince, I don't know what the prince wants?" β
Qin Zhiyi's face was instantly gloomy, and he stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Lord Li, what are you doing?" β
Li Mao looked up at her and said, "The prince also has the right to make his own decisions. β
Qin Zhiyi: "He's like this, how do you let him be?" β
"Although the prince is different from ordinary people, he doesn't understand anything." Li Mao said with some excitement: "The prince knows who is good for him and who is not good for him." β
Qin Zhiyi wanted to say more, but Li Mao said: "Princess, please listen to what the prince has to say!" β
Qin Zhiyi: "......"
She took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Gu Nanfeng.
Gu Nanfeng looked dazed, looked ignorant, and asked, "...... you guys What's the noise? β
After a pause, he frowned and stared at Li Mao again, and said a little unhappily: "Also, how can you be so fierce to Xiaoyi?" β
Li Mao was full of black lines in his head and retorted: "The old minister is not fierce, the old minister is just reasoning." β
"Whether you're reasonable or not, you can't be petty." Gu Nanfeng was unreasonable and said: "You can't murder her, she is the best petty in the world, and no one can be cruel to her." β
Li Mao: "...... The old minister understood. β
Gu Nanfeng listened to him soften, and then he looked up at Qin Zhiyi, and his expression was instantly gentle: "So, what are you arguing about?" β
Qin Zhiyi's expression was ugly, and he was silent for a while before pointing at Li Mao and saying, "You can ask him." β
Gu Nanfeng looked at Li Mao again, and his tone was slightly fierce: "Why are you quarreling with Xiaoyi?" β
The corners of Li Mao's mouth twitched, and he was angry by Gu Nanfeng's double standard.
He looked at Gu Nanfeng and asked, "I don't know if the prince still remembers Qingyun and Suyi?" β
Gu Nanfeng silently recited these two names twice, and then his eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded again and again: "Remember, when I was young, they always played with me." β
Li Mao was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Is it okay for the old minister to send them to the palace?" When the time comes, they will be able to play with the prince again as they did when they were young. β
Gu Nanfeng didn't think about it, and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, no one plays with me, it's great to have them." When are you going to send them? I ......"
Gu Nanfeng was halfway through his words when he suddenly stopped.
He seemed to think of something, turned his head to look at Qin Zhiyi next to him, and the expression that was still flying just now instantly became cautious.
He pursed his lips and asked tentatively, "Xiaoyi, Iβcan I let them accompany me?" β
