The sun rises in the east.
In the great commercial capital, in front of Yuelai Inn.
The carriage stopped, and Mu Xizi, dressed in regular clothes, got out of the carriage, paid his second visit, and walked towards the inn ahead.
On the second floor, Li Junsheng got up early, took out the red magic piano, and tuned and practiced the piano day after day.
"Jun Sheng."
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded outside the room and asked, "Can I come in?"
"The door is unlocked."
In the room, Li Junsheng responded and continued to adjust the strings without raising his head.
The door opened with a creak, and Mu Xizi stepped into the room, closed the door, looked at the man in front of him, smiled and said, "I'm out to do some business, come and have a look, Junsheng, you've been back for so long, why don't you go out for a walk?" ?”
"Things have changed, and nothing will get better." Li Junsheng responded with an indifferent expression.
"I have always been curious, where have you been in the past ten years?"
Mu Xizi asked with a puzzled look, "Why, there has been no news."
Li Junsheng fell silent after hearing this.
"Feel sorry."
Seeing the reaction of the person in front of him, Mu Xizi apologized, "I am too talkative."
"fine."
Li Junsheng said calmly, "It's not a secret, I just don't want to mention the past anymore."
"The past is like a knife, I can understand it."
Mu Xizi said softly, "Jun Sheng, I may have really found my daughter."
"Congratulations, are you sure?" Li Junsheng raised his head and asked.
"It's basically confirmed." Mu Xizi nodded.
"When will we meet?" Li Junsheng put away the guqin on the table and asked.
"I am still hesitating."
Mu Xizi sighed softly and said, "I am afraid of scaring her. Besides, she is a member of the Li family now. I am worried that she will not recognize me as my mother."
"From a slave to a royal daughter, under normal circumstances, it is not difficult to choose."
Li Junsheng said calmly, "What's more, she has not been raised in the Li family since she was a child. She does not have much sense of belonging to the Li family. I think Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess's concerns are a bit unnecessary."
"Really? Junsheng, do you really think so?"
Mu Xizi looked into the eyes of the person in front of him and asked expectantly, "Do you think she will recognize me as her mother?"
"Normally, no one can refuse such a huge identity difference."
Li Junsheng said calmly, "At least, I can't think of any reason why she would refuse to recognize Her Royal Highness."
"Does she hate me for abandoning her?"
Mu Xizi asked worriedly, "I heard that she has suffered a lot in the past few years. I am worried that she will feel resentful."
"Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, did not intend to do this."
Li Junsheng replied nonchalantly, "I think your highness is a little too worried. If your highness is an ordinary person, you may need to worry about this issue. However, your highness is the eldest princess of Dashang, with a noble status, and she is just a slave." , deep down in her heart, she definitely wants to get rid of her current identity, and I don’t think there is any possibility for her to refuse.”
Human nature is far less noble than self-perception, and the results of falling down and climbing up are definitely different.
"Junsheng, what about you?"
Mu Xizi heard what the former said, looked at the person in front of him, and said seriously, "Do you really want to return to the Li family? As long as you ask, I can help."
"No need."
Li Junsheng refused directly and said, "There is no need for outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Li family."
"Jun Sheng, why are you so persistent?"
Mu Xizi sighed softly, "Your personality is still the same as before. There is no change. Jun Sheng and Wen Qing have passed away. Those old friends from the past are only you and me. I really want to help you." .”
"Your Highness, please come back."
When Li Junsheng heard the word "Wen Qing", his expression immediately turned cold, and his last trace of patience was exhausted. He said goodbye, "Also, Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, should not come here in the future. I don't want the Li family to have any influence on our relationship." Misunderstand."
"Jun Sheng."
Mu Xizi opened his mouth, and when he saw the former's indifferent eyes, he sighed again, stood up and said, "Then I'll go do something first, Jun Sheng. I don't have any ill intentions, I just want to help you."
After saying that, Mu Xizi turned and left without saying another word.
In the room, Li Junsheng looked at the eldest princess's leaving figure, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
This woman, like her emperor brother, was full of benevolence and morality, but her heart was filled with filth.
"Second Master."
Not long after the eldest princess left, a dark shadow appeared in the room and said respectfully, "Young Master, you may not live more than a year."
At the table, Li Junsheng was shaken, turned around, and asked in disbelief, "Where did the news come from?"
"Li Yuan."
The black shadow answered truthfully, "It is said that the young master spent his life to extend the life of the Confucian leader, which caused his body to have problems. Not long ago, the aura of heaven and earth in the east courtyard of Taixue Palace was very abnormal, and many people were confused. It is speculated that Confucian leader's end is approaching, and someone is forcibly extending Confucian leader's life. The royal family later sent Mingtu to Taixue Palace, which also verified this. Mingtu had been in Taixue Palace for a long time before Confucian leader took action. This is not in line with common sense. As for the young master, he went to Taixue Palace in a hurry that day, so this news should be accurate."
"That's not what I asked."
Li Junsheng said in a deep voice, "I have known about this for a long time. What I am asking is, where does this time of year come from?"
"Li Yuan, inner courtyard." The black shadow answered.
"Who?" Li Junsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to ask.
"Not sure."
The black shadow shook his head and responded, "The news was sent in a secret letter. There seems to be a mistake in the process, causing the news to leak out."
"A mistake?"
A cold look flashed in Li Junsheng's eyes and he said, "How could there be a flaw in the Li family's intelligence network? I'm afraid someone did it deliberately."
At the same time, on the street in the city, in front of a stall not far from Li Garden, Mu Xizi walked over.
Behind the stall, an old woman saw the visitor and said with a smile on her face, "Lady, please buy a box of rouge."
Mu Xizi stopped, picked at the stalls, and asked, "Is there any good rouge?"
"have."
The old woman took out a box of rouge from the flower basket behind her and handed it over, saying, "This is the best rouge. Even wealthy families like the Li family use it."
"How much silver?"
When Mu Xizi heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes, and he asked.
"One tael of silver," the old woman replied.
"I want it."
Mu Xizi took out a couple of pieces of silver from his arms and handed it over, saying, "If there is such a good rouge, remember to keep it for me."
"okay."
The old woman took the money and smiled.
Mu Xizi took Yanzhi, turned around and returned to the carriage, and immediately opened Yanzhi.
There was no rouge in the rouge box, only a note.
Opening the note, it read:
The third son of the Li family lived less than a year!
