Chapter Ninety-Nine: Why Don't You Ask
Shangguan Li didn't say the reason, and Xuanyuan Ye didn't ask anymore.
The two of them stayed quietly for a while, and the only sound in the room was the occasional collision sound of Shen Baiyu fiddling with the bottles.
"Xuanyuan Night."
Shangguan Li suddenly opened his mouth and called him,
"Huh?"
“……”
Shangguan Li opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.
What she wanted to ask was about the firewood gathering meeting, and since those three words came out of his mouth, she felt that Xuanyuan Ye seemed to be a little different.
I can't say it specifically, it may just be some kind of unreliable intuition.
But Shangguan Li just can't ignore this feeling.
If you want to ask the reason, it is probably that Xuanyuan Ye looks too flawless, as if there are no flaws.
As soon as she encountered this situation where he seemed to be a little wrong, she couldn't stop her curiosity, what if she caught his handle, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?
But she also knew very well that if she guessed or checked it with her own strength, the result would definitely be nothing, so she wanted to just ask directly.
"If the county lord has anything to ask, to put it bluntly, the night naturally knows everything."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xuanyuan Ye asked again.
Shangguan Li shook his head.
"Forget it, I'll ask again when I have a chance later."
She didn't know why, she didn't ask.
Maybe she instinctively felt that there was some danger in this question, or maybe there was some other reason, but she didn't quite understand it yet.
Xuanyuan's eyes were turbulent for a moment, then he regained his composure and didn't say anything more.
The sky outside the window was getting darker, Shangguan Li stood up, she had to go back to the Xiangfu and make some preparations before going to the firewood gathering meeting.
"Where do you meet?"
"No, I'll go to the county lord at night."
Xuanyuan Ye didn't get up, just glanced at her and said leisurely.
Find it yourself?
Could it be that this legendary general has also learned to climb walls?
Shangguan Li thought with some wicked taste, but since he said so, there was no need to think about him, so he left the room with a slight bow.
After she left, Xuanyuan Ye seemed to suddenly turn into a stone sculpture without temperature, and he sat in place for an unknown amount of time.
Suddenly, the teacup in his hand moved, and he spilled some cold tea.
As if attracted by this small movement, Xuanyuan Ye finally moved.
He stretched out his fingers and slowly wrote on the low table with the help of the little water, and after a while, through the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw the three words "Shangguan Li" under his fingertips.
The orange-red sunlight soaked his body inch by inch, and shadows fell, obscuring his eyes.
For a long time, it was colder than usual, but with a hint of doubt, the voice sounded.
"What is this?"
He could guess the reason why Shangguan Li wanted to stop talking, the firewood gathering would indeed have a different meaning to him, and Shangguan Li's ability to detect his slight abnormality was enough to surprise him.
Later, she obviously wanted to ask about the firewood gathering meeting, but she changed her words, which really made him unable to understand.
From his point of view, Shangguan Li had no reason not to ask. Because she is such a smart and bold woman.
After a moment of silence, he waved his palm, erased the handwriting on the low table, and then got up and left Thirteen Incense.
As for Shen Baiyu, as long as he doesn't go out for more than two hours, the shopkeeper will know what the situation is, and he doesn't need to worry about it.
Shangguan Li returned to Luyuan, originally wanting to find Shangguan Bu to ask a few words, after all, she didn't know how long it would take for her to come back.
But he didn't see anyone else.
"Three, third miss, the eldest prince should still be in the shop now."
Seeing Shangguan Li asking, Zhang Lei, who was weeding around the Luyuan, hurriedly put down the work in his hand and replied.
"The eldest prince has been busy until late these days, and he didn't come back until late at night."
"That's right."
Shangguan Li really didn't expect it, it seems that in order to go to the Western Realm, he can be regarded as fighting.
"Okay, then he'll be back, and you can help me tell him that it's settled, as long as he can grow from an ant to a cockroach."
Zhang Lei heard the meaning of her words.
"Third Miss, do you want to go out?"
"Yes, I'll leave tonight, maybe ten days and a half moons. During this time, Luyuan will trouble you to take care of it. ”
Zhang Lei didn't ask much, for him, he just had to listen to Shangguan Li's instructions, so he nodded immediately.
"Three, Miss Three, don't worry!"
Shangguan Li looked at him suddenly becoming nervous, and was a little funny.
"You don't have to be so close to the enemy, nothing should happen in the mansion now."
Zhang Yuanniang will not move for the time being, as for Shangguan Xun......
The government at the end of the year should be enough for him to be busy.
Seeing Zhang Lei nodding, Shangguan Li patted him on the shoulder and went back to the room by himself.
Instead of staying in the house for long, she jumped out of the window facing the mountain behind her, and walked through the leafy path to a dead tree that was half hidden in the grass.
This dead tree is so large that it is estimated that it will take two people to hold it together, and at the bottom of the wild grass, there is a hidden tree hole.
According to the words of her world, this place should be called a secret base, and the owner of the base is the original body and Shangguan Yan when she was a child.
At that time, when there was thunder and rain, the two of them would go to the cave to chat, and most of the time it was Shangguan Yan who told the original body the story of the saint told by the master.
Shangguan Yan didn't like it, but the original body who was not allowed to go to school heard it with relish.
This is also why in that kind of situation where everyone doesn't want to see her, the original body can still have a little ink in its belly.
Although this bit of ink was finally used by Zhang Yuanniang as a weapon to kill the original body.
Shangguan Li smiled and bent down to pull out a package from the depths of the tree hole.
This is the bag she carried when she came to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Before, she dug a pit near the Lingshui Pavilion and buried it, and after the Lingshui Pavilion caught fire, she dug it out and hid it in another place.
It could contain her treasures, all kinds of hidden weapons, poisons, and some bandages and medicines for first aid.
After going to see the dumplings tomorrow, I will go to Jiangnan, and there will definitely be some twists and turns, and it is better to take the things that should be there.
Shangguan Li patted off the dirt on it and took the bag back to the room.
It's almost dark, and according to her experience, black market events are usually held in the second half of the night, so she's not in a hurry.
I went to the dining room with my bag on my back for dinner, and by the way, I brought one to Zhang Lei, who was still working hard to weed.
In Zhang Lei's somewhat nervous gaze, she wandered back to her room, wanting to take stock of the things she could use.
I don't know if I don't see it, but I am shocked when I see it.
She found a serious problem.
The medicine she had made in the Jingtang for a few months had almost run out, and now she only had some emergency items left in her bag.
