Chapter 366: Strict Investigation
Li Manting said gracefully: "The weather has been changing a lot these days, and the concubine has a rash on her face, so she wears a veil, not with the intention of learning from someone."
Ye Zhenyu snorted softly, flicked his sleeves, and left with his staff.
Li Manting looked at Ye Zhenyu's departing back, her long nails pinched her palms, and she didn't feel any pain at all.
Life in the palace was boring and boring, and she would come to the fish pond every day to feed the fish to pass the time.
The maid came to give a gift, saying that the prince was by the fish pond, she was overjoyed, and trotted in her skirt, in order to have a casual encounter with him.
He didn't even look at her.
just glanced at the end of his eyes, and asked questions related to Li Yuyan. Wearing a veil, is it possible that all women in the world wear veils, and they are all learning Li Yuyan?
When Kumquat found that blood was spilling from her palm, she exclaimed, "Concubine Fang, you are injured!"
Li Manting looked at the blood in her palms and sneered. Z.br>
In the past few months, Ye Zhenyu has not spent a single night in her room.
Such a lonely and empty day, in the past, there were women next to her who intrigued with her, and recently, somehow, he dismissed the other women.
At first, she thought that she was the only one left in the house, so she was undoubtedly the concubine.
And yet—
Until one day, she saw a painting in his study.
It's not someone else, it's Li Yuyan!
She was not allowed to enter his study, and that day, she went to deliver supper. When she arrived at the door of the study, she was stopped by the guards, and at that glance, she saw him unfolding a picture of a beauty and looking at it carefully, even if the woman on the painting turned to ashes, she could see at a glance that it was Li Yuyan.
She never knew that Ye Zhenyu actually had a mind about Li Yuyan.
originally thought that he was greedy for Li Yuyan's stunning beauty and graceful figure, but some time ago she knew that the reason why he dismissed other women was that he had a crush on Li Yuyan.
The Tian family has always been cold-hearted, and so has Ye Zhenyu.
How did the cold-hearted Ye Zhenyu think about Li Yuyan?
Li Manting's heart began to cool, and she even thought that Ye Zhenyu kept her in order to please Li Yuyan.
After all, she and Li Yuyan are mortal enemies, and he kept himself, maybe in order to let Li Yuyan execute her with his own hands, so as to take the opportunity to win Li Yuyan's favor.
Kumquat took out a handkerchief and covered Li Manting's wounds: "Concubine Fang, don't leave a scar on your palm, the prince will definitely not like it when he sees it."
Hearing this, Li Manting was even more angry and slapped Kumquat: "Even you are here to teach me?"
Kumquat hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave doesn't dare!"
Suddenly, Li Manting laughed, wasn't it rumored recently that Li Yuyan fell off the cliff with the waste prince?
It's best to let the beast eat Li Yuyan beyond recognition, so as to relieve the hatred in her heart!
The other side.
On the boat, Jiang Yu saw Ye Yiheng standing alone on the bow of the boat and watching, and her heart was overjoyed, learning from the appearance of those demonic women she had seen on the boat in the past, and walked slowly over gracefully.
"Aligo, what are you looking at?"
Ye Yiheng saw her coming, and instinctively wanted to leave, but thought of some questions that she wanted to ask, so she stopped abruptly: "Are most of the passengers on this ship going to Yaozhou?"
"Yes, our ship goes back and forth to Kyoto, Linzhou, and Yaozhou twice a month, so many of the passengers know each other. On the way back from this trip, most of them are from Yaozhou."
"I see."
Jiang Yu asked, "Why do you ask?"
"I see that there are fewer passengers disembarking halfway, so I will ask casually."
"Where is Aligo going?"
Ye Yiheng said lightly: "Pass through Yaozhou."
Jiang Yu wanted to ask again, but Ye Yiheng bowed his head slightly and walked away.

The next afternoon.
Li Zheng came to Cuong's house with the portrait, and when he saw Cuong's father and son chopping wood in the yard, he greeted him with a smile.
"Uncle, Ah Qiang, it is said that there were two guests staying overnight in your house a few days ago?"
Ali's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were pasting window paper, and when they heard the voice, they hurriedly put down their work and left the house.
The eldest lady glanced at Li Zheng, saw that he was holding a scroll in his hand, and turned to her husband: "The child is his father."
The old man split the firewood in his hand, and then put the axe on the ground: "There are two distant relatives who have come to live, what's the matter?"
Li Zheng unfolded the scroll and explained, "I should have come here a few days ago, but the snow road is difficult to walk, so I only came today."
In fact, there was an order from above, saying that it was necessary to thoroughly investigate the homes around the capital that took in strangers.
The old man's family of four looked at the portrait together.
"This man is blind, right?" The old man pointed to the portrait.
Li Zheng nodded: "You can see that he is indeed blind."
As he spoke, he took out another painting: "Oh, this man is not veiled in this painting, you can see his eyebrows and eyes, think about it, have you seen this person recently?"
Seeing the two paintings, the handsome and extraordinary young man, a family of four broke out in a cold sweat, but it was not obvious on their faces.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "We don't know this person."
Li Zheng asked unrelentingly, "I heard that there are two people living in your house, so don't shield the bad guys!"
Seeing that the family of four was silent, Li Zheng said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, this person is the abolished prince, and now the court is looking for him, so I came to ask."
The eldest mother said, "It is indeed a distant nephew who came to my house with his new daughter-in-law. Li Zheng, I don't like to hear you talk like this. Although we moved out of the village, there is still our house in the village, and our household registration is still in the village. Since you're from the same village, you can't slander the villagers like that, right?"
Li Zheng smiled awkwardly: "Auntie, what did you say? I'll tell you the truth, the woman next to the abolished prince is very likely to be the lord of Beilan County, and the two of them have a very good relationship, so I want to ask clearly."
The old man snorted, "The person in this portrait is unusually handsome, how can my wife's distant nephew compare with him? This is also true! Lizheng, if you have this leisure, you might as well ask elsewhere."
Li Zheng looked at Ah Qiang and his wife: "Ah Qiang, persuade your father, don't be confused when you are old."
Ah Qiang smiled, "Lizheng, although my father is old, he is not confused."
Ali hurriedly echoed: "That's it, Lizheng, you are about the same age as us, and it is the most important thing to respect the old and love the young, these words come out of your mouth, and you lose your identity as Lizheng!"
Li Zheng's face suddenly became ugly.
The old man sneered: "Our family is a distant relative, how can it be a waste prince? Lizheng, who will come to live in my small courtyard if there is no store in front of the store and no village in the back?"
The eldest mother echoed: "That is, the waste prince is also a prince, and he eats delicacies from the mountains and seas, how can he live in our house? Rizheng's joke is really big!"
Li Zheng looked around at this time: "You are right, I am also annoyed by the task above."
"Alright, since you haven't seen it, I'll go." After taking a few steps outside, Li Zheng turned back, "If you come across the man in the painting, remember to report it!"
