"Girl!" Heng Wu turned pale in fright.
Li Qingyi spoke cautiously, not daring to say a single word of nonsense: "I am the daughter of the Li family of the Xuandehou Mansion. I am enjoying the scenery here with my maid. I have met you..."
Qin Zeng frowned and looked at her. The prince had already caught up with her: "Hey, she is a beautiful girl! Old Qin, put down the butcher knife! Don't scare that girl!"
Qin Zengmei's heart skipped a beat, and he ignored the prince and asked Li Qingyi, "Xuandehou Mansion?"
He remembered this girl. She was traveling with Princess Yuanheng on her way back to Beijing a few days ago.
"Yes, a few days ago, the princess went to the Li family to pick me up and come to the Wei family to stay for a while."
The story of Princess Yuanheng's visit to the Li family has been spreading a lot during this time. Qin Zeng is the admiral of the East Factory and holds a royal guard in his hand. He probably knows whether the fly that flies in front of the emperor is a male or a female. It is impossible not to know. Regarding this matter, he put down the long knife in his hand and ordered in a cold voice: "Leave quickly!"
Just as Li Qingyi was about to leave, the prince suddenly came to him, "Wait a minute, are you the daughter of Princess Yuanheng when she married into the Li family?"
Li Qingyi's mouth twitched.
The prince is Xingliu, born to the empress of the middle palace, and is very popular with the emperor. In his previous life, Li Qingyi followed Qin Zeng and was familiar with the prince.
The prince is really naughty. He is already over fifteen years old, and he is still full of fun. It is common for him to sneak out of the palace.
If he hadn't been so talented and the emperor was so majestic, there would probably have been a lot of people jumping out to ask the emperor to appoint another prince.
Qin Zeng was four years older than the prince, and he had been watching over the prince for the emperor since he was a child. There were rumors that the prince was afraid of Qin Zeng, which was true, but he was not afraid of one thing or another.
Qin Zeng was to the prince, just like Tang Monk was to Sun Dasheng.
The whip around Qin Zeng's waist is the "golden hoop" given by the emperor himself. It is specially used to tie the prince. When necessary, it can also be used to whip the prince!
Li Qingyi knelt down and said, "I have met Your Highness."
"Ouch!" The prince has always been interested in strange things. He let out a long ouch, looked at Li Qingyi carefully, and said, "It is said that Princess Yuanheng decided to marry the husband of the Li family after just one look at him. It's a pity that he is young. Passed away young, I have always regretted not being able to meet him, but now I have met his daughter, tell me, do you and your father look alike?"
Li Qingyi rolled his eyes secretly, "My daughter is 89% similar to my father."
The prince clicked his tongue and said, "She is indeed prettier than any other woman I have ever seen."
"Your Highness, don't mess around." Qin Zeng reminded in a deep voice.
The prince immediately became serious, cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "I have a favor to ask of you."
Li Qingyi's eyebrows were about to knit together. She wasn't worried about what Tai Dui would think of her. This guy didn't understand the relationship between men and women yet. He was clearly a child.
But she didn't want to have anything to do with this scheming prince. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "What are your orders?"
The prince glanced at Heng Wu.
Li Qingyi said to Heng Wu: "Go down the mountain first and wait for me at the foot of the mountain."
"Yes, girl."
Heng Wu turned around and left. The prince smiled at her and took something out of his arms.
Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng subconsciously looked at the thing in the prince's hand. Unexpectedly, the prince suddenly raised the thing towards Qin Zeng!
A wisp of white powder immediately scattered in front of Qin Zeng's face!
Qin Zeng was startled and quickly held his breath and waved his sleeves to block it. Unfortunately, the powder was too close to him and part of it was still inhaled into his nose.
Li Qingyi had long been stunned by the prince's actions!
She smelled a slight smell and quickly covered her nose. This was a strong drug...
Qin Zeng felt exhausted instantly, "Your Highness, you..."
"Old Qin, I don't want to do it. I have no choice but to do it!" The prince was about to run away. Before escaping, he said to Li Qingyi: "Miss Li! I will leave Lao Qin to you. You only need to watch him for half an hour. Just don’t let him be chopped down by others! Go first! Oh, by the way, Lao Qin is the backbone of the imperial court! You have to keep an eye on him. If he has something, I won’t spare you!"
After saying that, the prince ran away and ran down the mountain!
Li Qingyi stared angrily and turned to look at Qin Zeng.
Qin Zeng could no longer stand and was sliding down against the pillar. He couldn't even speak and could only stare!
Li Qingyi turned around anxiously, looked around, and said, "Master Qin, can you still leave? Let's stay here. If someone comes up and sees us, it will be a trouble for you and me!"
Qin Zeng was so weak that he could only move his eyes. Fortunately, he was conscious. He glanced at the woods on the side of the mountain road and motioned to go there.
Li Qingyi understood and reached out to help Qin Zeng.
However, Qin Zeng is so tall and strong, how can he influence a weak woman like her?
After thinking about it, Li Qingyi took off the whip from Qin Zeng's waist and wrapped it under his arm, dragging him towards the woods.
Fortunately, there were a lot of fallen leaves in the forest, which reduced the resistance. Otherwise, Li Qingyi would not have been able to pull Qin Zeng.
She found a low-lying place exposed to the wind and was about to stop, but Qin Zeng's eyes glanced over there again.
Li Qingyi was panting from exhaustion and wanted to give him a kick.
But she didn't dare.
Now Qin Zeng doesn't know her at all. If she kicks him, he will probably slap her back.
It's better to forget it, and settle the score with him later when we get to know each other better.
She dragged Qin Zeng and walked a little further into the woods. Suddenly she was pleasantly surprised, "It turns out there is a cave here! No wonder Lord Qin asked me to come here!"
Li Qingyi put Qin Zeng down, carefully looked around the cave, and found nothing wrong, so he dragged Qin Zeng in and placed him on a pile of withered grass in the cave.
"The piles of hay here seem to have been put there on purpose. No one will come here, right?"
Qin Zeng blinked twice. The two words probably meant "no."
Li Qingyi asked: "Do you have a fire seal with you, sir?"
Qin Zeng blinked.
Li Qingyi understood, fumbled for a fire stick on him, picked up some branches and lit them, illuminating the dimly lit cave.
"Master Qin, His Highness the Crown Prince asked me to watch you for half an hour. It is estimated that the drug has taken effect for half an hour. Don't worry, I will wait for you to get rid of the effect of the drug before leaving."
She didn't feel at ease leaving Qin Zeng here alone.
Qin Zeng looked at her. An ordinary boudoir girl would not be as calm as her when encountering such a thing.
Moreover, she doesn't seem to be afraid of herself.
Just as he was thinking about it, Qin Zeng saw something moving in the corner of the wall. His pupils shrank, and the thin white shadow swooped to Li Qingyi's feet and bit her calf!
Li Qingyi was frightened by the cold touch. When he looked down, he felt pain as well.
She frowned and quickly stretched out her hand to pinch the little snake's seven inches. The snake's body curled up and released her calf.
Li Qingyi shouted that it was bad luck, limped to the entrance of the cave, and threw the little white snake far away.
"Fortunately, this snake is not poisonous!"
She walked back to Qin Zeng, sat on the haystack, and explained: "Master Qin, don't be surprised. I grew up in Yangzhou. When I was a child, I often followed my grandfather up the mountains and rivers. I was raised as a boy. This kind of little snake , I’ve seen it so much that I’m not afraid at all.”
She said this to dispel Qin Zeng's doubts, but that's not what Qin Zeng wanted to say at all!
The snake is called the Jade Lin Snake. Although it is not poisonous, May and June every year is the time for them to mate and lay eggs. The snake's teeth will secrete something similar to venom, which has an aphrodisiac effect!
Li Qingyi was at a loss, and Qin Zeng looked at Li Qingyi helplessly.
This girl will never do anything ridiculous!
