Chapter 49 Gu Ling’s fiancée
"Sister Huang, Sister Huang."
As soon as Xiao Li got off the sedan, Xiao Jingyi, who was guarding the door, strode over.
"I heard that Sister Huang collapsed from exhaustion. I was so worried that I didn't dare to disturb your rest. Is Sister Huang feeling better now?"
Xiao Li looked at him with half-squinted eyes. This guy obviously took advantage of her, but he had a good attitude and gave her material compensation.
It made her feel like she had raised her hand but couldn't hit it down.
As soon as she raised her hand, Xiao Jingyi quickly stretched out his hand, just enough for Xiao Li's hand to fall on his wrist.
"Sister Huang, please slow down."
Xiao Li snorted lightly and didn't argue with him anymore.
Lu Yanzhi, who was half a step behind, just watched King Wei and the princess leave together. From the beginning to the end, neither King Wei nor the princess looked back, as if he didn't exist.
Once upon a time, he had never seen the existence of Princess Xuanyang, but now he was the one being ignored.
Even if he doesn't like the princess, this feeling is not pleasant.
"Brother Yan"
Lu Yanzhi turned around, his cold eyebrows softening instantly: "Princess, why are you here alone?"
Liu Xueyin smiled bitterly, looked at Lu Yanzhi again, and felt she had found comfort: "Aren't you alone too?"
Princess Xuanyang is vicious and King Chen is cold-blooded, but in the end they are the only ones who share the same fate.
The two of them looked at each other, their emotions surging. Just as they were about to say something, people started arriving one after another. They had to restrain their emotions and walked back to the palace pretending not to be familiar with each other.
Xiao Jingyi glanced back from the end of his eyes: "Wouldn't it be bad if the emperor just abandoned the consort like this?"
Xiao Li's eyes were heavy, and he still couldn't let go of the anger he felt when he woke up from not sleeping well: "Didn't you come up to me first? Did you think of him at this time?"
Xiao Jingyi chuckled: "It's not because I was too worried about Sister Huang that I forgot about it for a moment."
Xiao Li raised his hand and exerted force.
"Hiss!"
Xiao Jingyi's expression was ferocious for a moment: "I feel sorry for you, dear sister, please forgive me. I was wrong."
Xiao Li took back his hand: "I will give you a long memory."
She would not accept being used, not even if she was paid. She could accept teasing, but not if it was directed at Lu Yanzhi.
The Queen Mother is forty-five this year, she is not very old, and she is not celebrating her birthday, so it is just a small matter.
However, the Queen Mother is the most noble woman in the world and the emperor's biological mother. Even if it is a small matter, the movement will not be too small.
Those who can receive banquet invitations are all officials of third rank or above. In addition to officials, there are also relatives of the emperor, which is a lot of people. If you add their family members, the number will be even greater.
Seeing the Queen Mother surrounded by all the concubines, Xiao Li handed the congratulatory gift directly to the eunuch beside the Queen Mother. She didn't want to show her courtesy, and the Queen Mother probably didn't care about her filial piety.
Chen Pingting, who had been staying with the Queen Mother, saw her, but not Lu Yanzhi. She glared at her angrily and stopped looking over.
"Princess Xuanyang."
Xiao Li turned around and looked at the strange woman in front of him.
Knowing that Xiao Li didn't know her, he introduced himself: "My daughter Jiang Wan'er made an engagement with Gu Ling three years ago. August this year is our wedding date."
Xiao Li raised his eyebrows slightly: "So, are you reminding me that I missed you when I raided the Gu family?"
Jiang Wan'er's expression changed. She looked at Xiao Li's eyes that were cold when he smiled, and remembered the story she had just heard about the cruel princess. Only when she really stood in front of the princess did she realize that the rumors were true. "No, I just stated my identity and asked the princess to clarify my doubts."
Xiao Li looked sad, half leaning on the pillar: "Tell me and listen."
Jiang Wan'er said quickly: "I want to know why Gu Ling died?"
Xiao Li raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Wan'er thoughtfully. Her expression didn't look like anger, nor hatred, nor hatred. It was a bit interesting.
"He failed to assassinate this princess, so he kidnapped me and was finally killed by the emperor's men. As for why he assassinated me, you have to ask him."
What Xiao Li said was the news that everyone knew, and it was also the truth. As for the things that outsiders didn't know, she didn't bother to mention it.
Jiang Wan'er's expression did not change from beginning to end, as if she had long accepted this fact.
"Thank you princess for informing me."
She bowed but did not leave immediately, as if she was hesitating.
"Princess."
She looked up at Xiao Li again, with an expression that seemed a little difficult to explain: "My sister Jiang Yu'er has always been obsessed with Gu Ling, and she even wanted to take this engagement from me, but she never thought that Gu Ling would die in an accident. She is crazy about this and believes that there must be a conspiracy. She ran away from home a month ago. We have been looking for her but have not found her yet. Princess, please be careful.”
What is more important, the sister who is crazy for revenge and the lives of the Jiang family, can be chosen without hesitation.
Jiang Wan'er wasn't sure whether Jiang Yu'er was really capable of hurting the princess, but their family didn't dare to take that risk.
Telling the princess about this uncertain factor is both a reminder and a plea. I hope that if Jiang Yuer does something irreversible, the princess can take her reminder and be more tolerant to the Jiang family.
It wasn't that Jiang Wan'er didn't care about her sisterly affection, but that her younger sister would do anything for Gu Ling, especially when she just saw a palace maid whose back looked so much like Jiang Yu'er, she was still frightened at this moment.
I hope she was mistaken.
Xiao Li received her reminder, not to mention, it was quite unexpected.
Unexpectedly, there are people who would risk everything for Gu Ling. Doesn't it mean that no one cares about him except Liu Xueyin?
Speaking of Gu Ling's death, Liu Xueyin acted too calmly.
You must know that although Liu Xueyin is a virgin, she also has tough moments. For example, for the sake of several male protagonists, she would not bow down even if she was tortured to death.
Gu Ling died because of her, and Xiao Li was the most direct enemy, so there was no reason to remain indifferent.
Could it be possible that you forgot?
As a princess, Xiao Li had to salute and say hello whenever she met someone, but as soon as she said hello, she left in a hurry, as if there was a savage beast behind her.
Originally, she was cautious and unsociable, so no one paid attention to her; now Xiao Li is generous and bright, but her reputation is getting worse and worse, and no one pays attention to her.
While Xiao Li was still sighing, a eunuch came over and respectfully handed over a note.
Xiao Li was still puzzled as to why someone in the palace was still handing him a note. He opened it and read it, writing: The Prince Consort went to the West Garden with Princess Chen.
Xiao Li: "."
She was very curious about who wrote the note to her. She had no connections in the palace.
Floor nightmare? It's not like he's such a gossip.
There were a lot of people around her at the moment, but they all kept a respectful distance from her. Occasionally they looked at her with hidden eyes and lowered their heads to talk to the people next to them, probably knowing that they were saying bad things.
Rather than dealing with a few wealthy ladies who spoke ill of others behind their backs, it would be more interesting to catch the traitors.
However, this kind of fun is so boring for one person
The title was wrong, but I couldn’t change it. I had to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to find an editor to correct it.
(*^__^*) Let’s make do with it first.
Mmm~~~
