Volume 4 The Tragedy of the Imperial City Chapter 186 The First Heard of the Forbidden Land
The rumor that Li Yiregret was the emperor's illegitimate son had spread all over the well-informed capital, and it had caused an uproar in Dachong's officialdom, and countless officials had a nervous attitude towards the palace, but when the news was deliberately spread to the palace by someone with a heart.
The huge building in the Imperial City did not hear the slightest response, like a fallen leaf in the stagnant water, sinking without a ripple. Very abnormal!
In the eyes of some people, not responding is the best response!
The matter is big, such a sensitive topic about the throne as His Majesty's illegitimate child is taboo in the palace, and even a trace of rumors will be secretly strangled in the cradle, but now the rumors have become a trend, and the palace is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, not moving at all, so this rumor ...... Nine times out of ten, it's not a rumor!
Then these keen politicians began to test their heirs, and if it was beneficial, they would take corresponding action, and if it was harmful, they would say that it was a negotiation between the younger generations, and it would not involve the family.
Li Yiregret's claim that he was His Majesty's illegitimate child has become a hurricane and swept the officialdom, and Li Yiregret, who is in the eye of the storm, has gotten rid of everyone with the help of Zhang Ling'er at this time, and is relieved.
"Gongzi Li, now that they are all gone, I have to accompany you out. Zhang Ling'er changed her fierce appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
Li Yiregret nodded and continued to pack up her pen and ink, although Zhang Ling'er had always deliberately approached him and was a little uncomfortable, but she had just broken the siege, and she did accept her love, but it was not easy to show anything.
"Let's go. After Li Yiregret finished cleaning up, he stepped towards the door, wanting to stay away from this uncomfortable place earlier.
Zhang Ling'er responded obediently, followed quickly, and looked at Li Yi's flat expression carelessly, and the vicissitudes of life on her face that did not match her age fascinated her.
Her father also said that she would be close to Li Yiregret, but unlike those princesses and young ladies of the official eunuchs, she wanted to get close to him from the bottom of her heart, as if she was destined to meet, and her heart fluttered at a glance.
"Miss Ling'er, is there a quieter place in this academy?" Li Yicheng suddenly asked.
Since leaving the classroom door, Zhang Ling'er's gaze has not moved on his face, which makes Li Yihui, who lacks communication with women of the same age, a little inexplicably panicked, even if it was the battle with Binghuo and his party, it couldn't shake his mood at all, but ...... I really haven't encountered this situation before.
There was a hint of fanatical emotion in the eyes of this somewhat annoying woman, and the sharp-minded Li Yiregret had already discovered it, and this kind of emotion he had only seen in the eyes of one person - Ning Xinyi.
"Quiet place ......", Zhang Ling'er thought very seriously about Li Yicheng's casual mention of diverting attention, "Speaking of Yunhai College, although it occupies a lot of land, as the top university in Dachong, adhering to the tradition of not having many fines, it only occupies an area of ordinary universities, and the number of students and the size of the area are also suitable for studying on weekdays, and basically you can see disciples coming and going everywhere, a quiet place...... It's less searchable. ”
"If not, then don't bother the girl. Li Yi said politely, in fact, he didn't expect anything from Zhang Ling'er's answer, but just asked casually.
"If you talk about it, there is one place, and there is absolutely no one in that place!" Zhang Ling'er said suddenly, arousing Li Yi's regret.
"Where is it?" asked Li Yiregret.
Zhang Ling'er was a little speechless and stopped, looked around weakly, approached Li Yiregret, and said mysteriously, "This is originally a secret, but with the identity of Li Gongzi, if you think about it, you will know about it sooner or later." ”
Li Yi's heart moved, and he said secretly, could it be that this Yunhai Academy really has some secrets?
Zhang Ling'er continued, " There is a forbidden place in the mountain behind this Yunhai Academy, it is forbidden for anyone to approach, whether it is Mr. Dean, or disciples and students, they are strictly forbidden to step into half a step, originally at the beginning there were some naughty students who did not think so, sneaked in, but those who entered without exception, all disappeared, even if there were countless people searching later, they could not be found, over time, the academy spread this forbidden place more and more, and no one dared to approach half a minute, the defenders guarding the forbidden place were also withdrawn, until now, no one dared to approach half a step. ”
Li Yiregret was a little puzzled and asked, "If there really is such a terrifying forbidden place, then why do you want to build the academy here?"
Zhang Ling'er said, "That's because this forbidden land did not exist before the academy, but in a certain year, it seemed to suddenly appear and descend on the academy, and then it became a forbidden land." ”
Li Yiregret asked again, "This kind of thing happened in Yunhai Academy, and there was no interference in the palace?"
"Yes, yes, the elders of the missing students originally signed a letter asking His Majesty to investigate the matter thoroughly, and His Majesty the Emperor did send someone to come, but then I don't know why, but it was suppressed again, and in the end I had to give it up. ”
Li Yi regretted becoming more and more puzzled, but his face was not revealed, and he looked at Zhang Ling'er with a smile and asked, "These things sound confidential, where did Miss Ling'er hear about them?"
Zhang Ling'er seemed to be a little shy by Li Yi's smiling eyes, and hung her head slightly and said, "I used to like to pester my father to tell stories, and I learned from my father, Li Gongzi must not tell others." ”
Li Yiregret nodded, "That's natural, Li Mou must be tight-lipped." ”
Zhang Ling'er said with a smile, "I believe in Li Gongzi, otherwise I wouldn't have said these things to you." ”
Li Yi smiled regretfully, but sighed secretly in his heart, and owed this woman a favor again.
However, this sigh is fleeting, but what she thinks more about is the forbidden place that Zhang Ling'er said, if what she said is true, then there must be a lot of secrets hidden in this forbidden place, and even Ning Xinyi's disappearance is related to it!
Thinking of this, Li Yiregret's eyes flashed, and he couldn't wait to walk into that forbidden place.
"Li Gongzi, you...... Are you okay?" Zhang Ling'er was suddenly stunned when she saw Li Yiregret, and said with some concern.
Suddenly coming back to his senses, Li Yiregret hurriedly waved his hand and said that it was okay.
"Now that we have arrived at the gate of the academy, you and I should part ways, and the girl will be careful on the road and see you tomorrow. ”
Li Yiregret arched his hand to Zhang Ling'er, then turned around and entered the carriage sent by Li Yu at the door, looking a little hurried.
Zhang Ling'er hadn't said goodbye yet, but the person had already gone away, and it was inevitable that he would be a little lost in his heart.
It's just that how did she know that the person she liked wanted to break into the Longtan Tiger's Den in the forbidden land for another woman......
