Chapter 22: The White Lotus

"Doesn't Concubine Ai want to know what happened when my father summoned this king to the palace today?"

Looking at Chu Hezhi's unbeaten expression, Liu Tianyan pretended to be deaf and continued to practice.

"It's a pity, I just sent Lord Liu back to the house, although Lord Liu has already resigned and returned home, but now he has encountered this kind of thing, it's really ......" said Chu Hezhi and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Liu Tianyan finally stopped, looked at Chu Hezhi's back, gritted his teeth, and said.

"What's the matter with the concubine?" Chu Heyi looked at Liu Qianyan with a blank face, but the banter in his eyes was seen by Liu Qianyan.

"The prince said, did you see my grandfather today?" Liu Qianyan thought about Old Man Liu, and put the somewhat itchy hand behind his back.

"Yes, Lord Liu is still so tough and high-spirited."

"Lord Wang, what are you entering the palace for today, and why is my grandfather here." Liu Tianyan watched Chu Hezhi talk about something irrelevant there, and finally couldn't help it.

"Aifei, if you want to know what happened today, should you also give some compensation?" As he spoke, Chu Hezhi looked Liu Tianyan up and down.

Liu Tianyan suddenly covered herself, looked at Chu Hezhi, her face turned crimson, "You, what do you want?" ”

"I won't go around the bush anymore, I want you to tell me why you know that the prince is going to murder the seventh brother." When he said this, Chu Hezhi's face was full of seriousness, and his expression was extremely sharp.

Liu Tianyan looked at Chu Hezhi and thought for a while. "Then the prince will come in and speak."

Seeing this, Ling'er obediently went to boil tea.

"If the concubine has anything to say to this king, this king will listen to it."

Liu Tianyan snorted, looking at Chu Hezhi's eyes as if he was mentally retarded, "Shouldn't the prince tell me first, what happened today?" If the prince finishes speaking, I will naturally tell the prince what the prince wants to know. ”

Seeing this, Sanqi's eyes widened, and for the first time, he saw that someone dared to bargain with the prince, and the prince was not angry.

"Okay, it's very simple, the prince plotted to kill the seventh brother, but he wanted to put the blame on me and Lord Liu."

After hearing this, Liu Tianyan's hand on his knee was clenched tightly, and his eyes were a little angry, "Then my grandfather, is he okay?" ”

It's rare that Liu Tianyan actually cares about people, which made Chu Hezhi a little surprised, "This king came back safe and sound, and Lord Liu is naturally fine." ”

Chu Hezhi took Ling'er's full of tea, blew it, and took a sip, "This king told you what you want to know, shouldn't you also tell this king?" ”

Liu Qianyan raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his eyes and thought about it, and then said, "I just accidentally bumped into the prince talking with someone, I only recognized the prince's voice, and I don't know the other person." ”

"What, and one more person...... You really don't know who it is, and it could be dangerous to your grandfather, so you have to think about it. The hand holding the teacup tightened suddenly, and Chu Hezhi asked with a frown.

"I really don't know, I only heard the prince's voice, I only know, the other person is a woman."

"Woman, don't you recognize the woman's voice?" As soon as he heard that it was a woman, Chu Hezhi's brows furrowed even deeper.

"I don't know, I just think that voice is quite good, like ......"

Halfway through the fight, he was interrupted by a guard, "Lord Wang, Miss Li is out asking to see you." ”

Chu Hezhi's movements stopped abruptly, and he glanced at Liu Qianyan before walking out.

"Ling'er, Miss Li...... Who is it? ”

Ling'er couldn't help but look at Liu Tianyan strangely.

"What? Something on my face? This made Liu Qianyan very unhappy, and it felt like they were hiding something from themselves.

"No, princess, don't you really remember Miss Li, it's the daughter of the criminal department, Li Qinglian."

Li Qinglian, this name is so familiar.

Ah, I think about it, isn't that Chu Hezhi's childhood sweetheart?

However, the last time Li Qinglian came, she was pushed into the lake by the original owner and almost died, but all this was not voluntary by the original owner, it was Liu Rujiao who instructed the original owner to do it.

But now that I say that, no one is likely to believe it.

"Let's go, let's go meet Miss Li too." As he spoke, Liu Tianyan was ready to get up for a long time.

"Princess, do you really want to see Miss Li? Don't you do it the same way you do...... That's the kind of thing. Ling'er said worriedly on the side.

"Ling'er, if I say that I didn't do those things voluntarily, do you believe it?" Looking at Ling'er's eyes, Liu said frankly.

"Ling'er believes it, but Ling'er believes it doesn't mean that the prince believes it, the prince punished you fiercely for this matter last time."

"It's okay, Ling'er, let's go, believe me, I won't do that kind of thing again." Liu Qianyan knew that Ling'er was thinking about herself, but Liu Tingyan was really curious about this Miss Li.

Moreover, from the memory of the original owner, Liu Tianyan could feel that this Li Qinglian deliberately pretended to be pushed into the water by the original owner.

As soon as he walked to the door of the study, Liu Tianyan heard the voice inside, "Lord Wang, Lian'er misses you so much, do you miss Lian'er?" ”

This delicate voice alone can make many men unbearable.

"Of course I think about it, can Lian'er study obediently?" Chu Hezhi's tone was a gentleness that Liu Qianyan had never felt.

Ling'er stood at the door, not daring to look at Liu Qianyan's eyes.

"Let's go, let's go back." Liu sneered, then turned around and prepared to leave.

And Chu Hezhi also heard the movement outside the door and hurriedly opened the door, however, he only saw Liu Tianyan's sad back.

"Lord, I'm ...... I didn't know that the princess was just outside the door, I ......" Li Qinglian naturally saw Liu Qianyan's figure, and hurriedly spoke, her tone was full of self-blame, but there was a triumphant smile in her eyes, but unfortunately Chu Hezhi didn't find it at all.

"It's okay, you can continue." Chu Hezhi's eyes darkened slightly, and he returned to the study and said to Li Qinglian.

"Yes, lord." Li Qinglian lowered her head, and the corners of her mouth hung a trace of curvature.

"Lord Wang, have you eaten?" Li Qinglian spoke, but this was not Li Qinglian's voice, it was more like Chu Hezhi's voice.

That's right, Chu Hezhi was cultivating Li Qinglian and asking Li Qinglian to imitate his voice, so the voices that Liu Tianyan heard just now were actually all said by Li Qinglian.

Chu Hezhi continued to look at the bamboo slip in his hand, but his mind was full of Liu Qianyan's sad back.

This absent-minded look was seen by Li Qinglian, "Lord Wang, if you are worried about the princess, go see him and her, Lian'er will come to disturb the prince next time." ”

Chu Hezhi thought for a while and shook his head, "No, you continue to practice, the day is getting closer and closer, so we can't afford to delay." ”

"Where is the princess...... I'm afraid that the princess will be wrong, and Lian'er and the prince ......"
