"Your Majesty is righteous."
In the inner courtyard of Li Garden, in Taotao's room, Li Ziye heard Concubine Wen's decision. He sat up straight, cupped his hands, bowed respectfully, and said, "In the next generation, the Li family and the people of the world would like to thank Concubine Wen."
"Teacher Li has learned this ritual, but I can't afford it."
Fan Wenzhen stretched out his hand to help the former and said seriously, "I only want a promise from Mr. Li. From now on, no matter what, I ask Mr. Li and the Li family to protect Mu Qing's life."
"The empress and Your Highness are truly connected as mother and son. Even their requests are exactly the same."
Li Ziye turned the teacup in his hand and said calmly, "I can promise you, your Majesty, that as long as I am still alive, the Li family will do their best to protect the safety of the Eleventh Highness. This is not a promise, this is a fair transaction, and the Li family is a business. People, equal dealings are the foundation of one’s life.”
"Thank you, Professor Li."
When Fan Wenzhen heard the words of the third son of the Li family in front of him, he relaxed a little and promised, "I will do my best to help with the night ghost incident."
"Your Majesty, you have to be careful yourself."
Li Ziye reminded her thoughtfully, "Your Majesty is in the harem, so she should know how dangerous it is in the palace. By the way, your Majesty is holding this thing."
While talking, Li Ziye took out a mahogany box from his sleeve, handed it over, and warned, "After returning to the palace, when no one is around, the queen will open it again."
Fan Wenzhen looked at the mahogany box in front of him with a surprised look on his face, but he didn't ask any more questions. He put the wooden box away and said goodbye, "Li Jiaoxi, I can't leave the palace for too long, so I won't keep you any longer. Let's go first." .”
"Please, my dear, I won't send you any more."
Li Ziye said something, looked at Taotao on the side, and ordered, "Taotao, go and see off Concubine Wen."
"yes!"
Taotao accepted the order, stood up and said, "Empress, please!"
Fan Wenzhen nodded and walked outside.
Taotao quickly followed and left the inner courtyard together.
In the room, Li Ziye touched the Hunyuan Pearl and the Soul-Calming Pearl, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.
Even Concubine Wen couldn't tell the difference between the Hunyuan Pearl and the Soul-Suppressing Pearl right away. It seemed that these two beads were definitely involved in some unknown matter.
It is true that those predecessors and sages left the treasures, but did not leave the instructions, and asked him, the descendant, to study it by himself. Isn't this deceiving?
"Young Master."
Not long after, Taotao came back from seeing off Concubine Wen and asked with some worry, "Is Concubine Wen really trustworthy? After all, she has served the royal family for so many years. It is hard to believe that she would suddenly fall to the side of the Li family. "
"Concubine Wen is not leaning towards the Li family, she is just paving a way out for the eleventh prince."
Li Ziye replied lightly, "However, even if Concubine Wen can't be trusted, it doesn't matter. Today is different from the past. The Confucian leader's sword is enough to make that old fox like Shang Huang drink a pot. It will be difficult for him to cause any trouble in a short time." , we just took this opportunity to counterattack and reached out to the royal family, Night Ghost's research is just an excuse."
Hearing this, Taotao looked surprised and asked, "What the young master means, Ye Gui's information is not the main purpose of the cooperation between the Li family and the royal family."
"That's Yanyulou's mission, not the Li family's."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "The Li family's goal is still the royal family. Let's not talk about it for now. I will go talk to the old man Zhang Donglu. After returning to the capital, the old man has no news at all. He is really well hidden."
After saying that, Li Ziye got up and walked outside.
Not long after, outside Li Garden, Li Ziye got on a carriage and left, rushing to Zhang Mansion.
About two-quarters of an hour later, outside the pavilion in the east courtyard of Zhang Mansion, a boy walked quickly and saluted respectfully, "Master, Mr. Li of the Li family would like to see you."
"Li Ziye?"
In the pavilion, Zhang Donglu, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and looked slightly surprised. He quickly reacted and said, "Please."
"yes!"
The boy took the order and immediately turned around and left.
Not long after, Li Ziye walked over under the leadership of the servant. When he saw the old man in the pavilion in front of him, a kind smile appeared on his face and he greeted, "Master Zhang, long time no see."
"How long?"
Zhang Donglu looked at the visitor and responded with a half-smile, "I wonder why we met again so soon. Boy, I've been very busy recently and can't go anywhere. If you have any bad thoughts, get rid of them as soon as possible."
"Is Mr. Zhang very busy?"
Li Ziye looked at the old man who was about to give up in front of him, and said in surprise, "That's really a pity. Originally, I had a treasure that I wanted Master Zhang to help me punch. Since Master Zhang is very busy, forget it and take my leave." .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ziye said no more, turned around and left without looking back.
"treasure?"
In the pavilion, Zhang Donglu's eyes lit up when he heard the former's words, and he hurriedly greeted, "I'm not busy. I'm not busy now. What treasure is there? Let me take a look."
You can question this boy from the Li family's character, or you can question his talent in martial arts, but there is absolutely no need to question his vision.
Something that this kid could call a treasure must be extraordinary.
Outside the pavilion, when Li Ziye heard the old man behind him leaving him alone, he immediately stopped, turned around and walked into the pavilion, sat down in front of the stone table, and said with a smile, "In this way, Mr. Zhang, answer me a question, and I will let Mr. Zhang Looking at the treasure, it’s fair, right?”
"Boy, what are you planning?"
Zhang Donglu asked with a wary face, "Let's talk about the problem first."
"Actually, it's not too difficult a question."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "I know that there is a way to repair the divine treasure in this world, and there is also a magical medicine that can extend people's lives, but I don't know where they are. Isn't Mr. Zhang good at divination? Help me figure it out. Once the calculation is done, it will be done, we will split it 50-50!”
"roll!"
Hearing this, Zhang Donglu cursed angrily, "I only know how to do divination, but I don't know everything. If I could calculate such things, I would have already obtained all the treasures in the world. How could it be another turn?" Get you boy!”
"Master Zhang, you didn't lie to me, did you? The art of divination doesn't even count for this trivial matter, so what's the use?" Li Ziye questioned.
"Divination is just to infer more secrets based on known things. It is impossible to calculate without reason."
Zhang Donglu explained patiently, "Why do you need to read your birth date, read palms, look at faces, and even ask a lot of questions when divination for people? That's because the more things you know, the more accurate the hexagrams you can infer will be. Now, it's like covering your face, leaving only the hair on your legs, and asking me to guess what you look like. Only if I can guess it, you are a ghost."
"Then your divination skills are quite average."
Li Ziye said contemptuously, "I thought you could figure out everything, old man. Okay, I'm fine. Say goodbye. Goodbye!"
After saying that, Li Ziye stood up and prepared to leave again.
