Chapter 107: Lost
When Li Qingyi bumped into the Fourth Highness, the banquet in front of him had already begun.
Li Miaoran was already a step late, but when Ruan and the county lord of Yuanheng approached, she didn't see Li Qingyi's figure, "Huh? Why hasn't my sister come back yet? ”
Chang Yan, who was following her, was startled and hurriedly looked at the county lord of Yuanheng.
The county lord of Yuanheng was puzzled: "Isn't she with you?" ”
Li Miaoran whispered a brief remark about Fang Cai's matter, frowned, and said, "Could it be that you are going the wrong way?" ”
Originally, the three of them talked together well, but first Wei Laner was called away, and Li Miaoran was soiled again......
Ruan Shi beat the drum in his heart, feeling a little strange, "It's better to let someone look for it." ”
The county lord of Yuanheng said: "Old Madam Mu is coming over soon, we will inevitably attract attention at this time." ”
Chang Yan said: "County master, it is better to let the slave and maid go to find the girl first." ”
The county lord of Yuanheng wanted to nod, but Mu Ying saw it from a distance, so he gave Luo Pei a look.
Luo Pei understood, walked up to the county lord of Yuanheng and asked, and when he heard that Li Qingyi might be lost in the mansion, he said: "Don't worry, the county lord will ask someone to find it, and Miss Li must be nearby." ”
"I'll go with you."
Chang Yan was a little anxious, she knew that Luo Pei was the maid next to Mu Ying, and she didn't trust her very much.
What's more, this incident was the ghost of Mu Ying.
When Luo Pei heard her say this, he smiled and didn't speak, and he didn't move under his feet, just looking at Lord Yuanheng.
The county lord of Yuanheng frowned, after all, they are guests, and it is not good to act arbitrarily in other people's houses, not to mention that this is the Mu family.
"You're not familiar with this place, and you still have to take care of you when you go to someone's house, so don't make trouble for others."
Chang Yan was in a hurry, but it was useless, and he just watched Lope walk away.
*****
In the small courtyard, the green leaves falling with the wind became more and more illusory and blurry in the mist of the spring, Li Qingyi obviously stepped on the green bricks down-to-earth, but felt that his feet were as soft as a boat in the water.
The fourth prince stood opposite and looked at her with a smile, and said, "It's not that you are leading Miss Li here, but that Miss Li has taken the wrong road and entered the place below by mistake." ”
Li Qingyi's brows were tightly furrowed, he didn't have the heart to play Tai Chi with him, and he became more and more defensive.
But the feeling of weakness under my feet became even deeper.
She carefully surveyed her surroundings with her peripheral vision.
The banyan tree, the spring, the delicate partition window, and the purple clothes on the four princes, all of them are extremely bright and dazzling, and those colors seem to have been soaked for thousands of years, and there will never be a day of fading.
Could it be that she was fascinated by the incense of the Four Princes?
When Li Qingyi returned to Mu Mansion with Qin Zeng, he heard him say a few words sporadically.
The four princes are very good at incense, and they can even use incense to kill people.
In this case, the most obsessed and fantasizing must be captured.
I don't know what method the other party used, so that she fell for it unnoticed, maybe it was the fragrance of flowers and plants, maybe it was the ethereal water vapor......
In short, if she stands here any longer, I am afraid she will not be able to get the slightest benefit.
"I was offended by mistake, and I ask for your forgiveness."
The fourth prince looked at her unexpectedly, and his expression became more and more interested, "It's a trivial matter, Miss Li doesn't need to be like this." However, it is better to meet by chance, can you go in and have a drink with you? ”
Li Qingyi knew that he would not let him go, and tried his best to recall the secret passages around the Mu Mansion in his heart, and said in conformity: "It is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The eyes of the four princes were shining, and they seemed to be very excited, and they stepped forward to open the door and made a gesture of please.
Li Qingyi nodded at him and stepped into the room.
The surrounding arrangements are golden and brilliant, as false and bewitching as the four princes themselves, and extravagant.
She sat down according to the other party's guidance, slowly and naturally looked at the things around her, and said, "The Fourth Highness is really detached. ”
"Miss Li has won the prize."
The fourth prince pushed a cup of tea in front of Li Qingyi, "This prince just felt that there was a guest coming, so he had already cooked the tea in advance, just waiting for someone to come, but he didn't expect that a beautiful woman would come." ”
Li Qingyi looked back at the four princes with an almost weird look, and didn't know what the other party had planned, so he could only try to calm his voice, "Your Royal Highness is polite." ”
She picked up the tea, sniffed it gently, and said with a smile: "This tea fragrance is very special, it smells like a dream, it seems that the body and mind are soothed and relaxed, it has the effect of calming the mind and concentrating." ”
When the fourth prince heard her inquiry, he smiled lightly, and his gestures were full of everyone's demeanor, however, when he faced Li Qingyi, the greed and hypocrisy in his eyes showed that he was indeed a man with a knife in his smile.
"Miss Li is really not an ordinary woman. It's just that the wonders of this tea are hard to describe, and Miss Li might as well taste it herself, and you can know it all. ”
Li Qingyi smiled and nodded, and slowly plucked the tea leaves with the tea lid, and the clear tea was about to enter the mouth, but it was another meal.
As if she suddenly remembered, she asked, "I almost forgot, when I came here, the servant girl who followed me was lost, I guess the Fourth Highness knows where she is, can you bring her to see me?" ”
The fingers of the four princes couldn't help but tap lightly on the corner of the table twice, without making a sound.
Li Qingyi was not in a hurry, only slowly plucked the tea leaves, looking like he wanted to drink it or not.
That seems to say, "If you bring my handmaid, I will drink this tea with pleasure."
The fourth prince looked at her silently for a long time, his expression was inexplicable, could it be that she was difficult to protect herself, and she had to exchange her own safety for the life of the maidservant?
However, this is not a big deal for him, since the master and servant have entered this courtyard, they are boiled ducks, can they still fly?
If the servant girl is called and made her obedient and obedient, it will save him from using inhuman means, although he can achieve things, but it is not beautiful in the end.
Thinking of this, the four princes clapped their palms together twice, and soon someone sent Wo Lan into the house.
As soon as Xiang Lan saw Li Qingyi, her panicked expression immediately disappeared a lot.
Li Qingyi motioned for her to stand behind him, and turned to the fourth prince and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for a lot." ”
The fourth prince's face was as usual, and he said politely: "Why do you need to say thank you." ”
Li Qingyi smiled.
She knew that there was something greasy in this tea.
But at this time, she can only try to make herself try to fight for favorable conditions in unfavorable situations.
If woad is in their hands, whether they can escape safely or not, they will be restrained.
If she can return to her, she will have no worries, and it is still unknown who will lose and who will win.
At the entrance of the tea, the tea fragrance is thin and soft, such as the sultry spring color.
The woad on the side was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
The fourth prince narrowed his eyes slightly, watching Li Qingyi obediently drink the tea, revealing a satisfied look, "How does it taste?" ”
"Nature is excellent."
Although Li Qingyi only took a small sip, the look of the fourth prince told her that this small sip was enough for him to achieve his goal.
The fourth prince got up slowly and said with a smile: "Since Miss Li thinks this tea is good, I will take Miss Li to see the origin of this tea." ”
After that, without waiting for Li Qingyi to answer, he held the candlestick next to him with his right hand and turned around, and there was a soft 'click' sound behind him, and a secret door appeared in front of Li Qingyi's eyes.
Li Qingyi looked at the candlestick and his eyebrows moved, and then followed the fourth prince into the secret door.
Woad Lan grabbed Li Qingyi's sleeve in fear, and Li Qingyi gave her a gesture to signal her to be clever for a while.
Xianglan gritted her teeth and nodded, and walked in closely behind Li Qingyi.
*****
In the front yard, the county lord of Yuan Heng and Ruan Shi saw that Li Qingyi had not come back for a long time, and they were also a little restless.
Ruan's Fang had just heard people talk about the festival between Li Qingyi and Mu Ying, and knew that Mu Ying's disgust and hatred for Li Qingyi couldn't help but be anxious in his heart, "Yi'er is not a reckless child, maybe something really happened!" ”
Lord Yuanheng frowned, "There are so many people now, if something really happens, it will make a fuss!" ”
When Ruan heard this, he immediately thought of something bad.
Li Miaoran tugged at Ruan's sleeve and said, "Ah Niang, I want to ......"
She looked anxious to be complimentary, and Ruan Shi was blessed with her heart, "You take the girls with you, don't Yi'er didn't come back, and I lost you again." ”
Li Miaoran hurriedly nodded yes, and walked out with the two girls, who knew that after a few steps, someone stepped forward to lead the way and asked them where they were going, Li Miaoran looked around, but there was no reason to get out, so she had to honestly follow the maid of Mu Mansion to the toilet.
Chang Yan took advantage of the lack of attention and quietly retreated, seeing that Li Miaoran was being stared at, he had to turn around and change directions, planning to go out of the house to find Qin Zeng for help.
The Mu Mansion is vast, and Chang Yan is not familiar with it, so he finally walked to the outer courtyard and wanted to climb out of the wall, so he heard a sneer behind him: "Whose slave is so bold!" ”
