Qin Zeng naturally looked away, his eyes softened by the color of the Sichuan brocade on the car wall.
"It's nothing, it's you, why are you so obsessed?"
Li Qingyi lowered his head slightly, his long hair hanging down his white dress, looking increasingly black and smooth.
She unnaturally tucked the strands of hair behind her ears. Without answering, she said instead, "Mu Ying is dead anyway. Why do you need to be so cruel and make the Mu family angry?"
Qin Zeng felt a long-lost relaxation in her very soft daughter's mood, which allowed him to temporarily let go of the complexity and heaviness that he had suppressed for many years.
His face was calm, but there was a slight curve in the corner of his mouth. His eyes glanced at the injury on Li Qingyi's left leg intentionally or unintentionally, and he said: "There will not be a few peaceful days."
It seemed as if there was a heavy fog gathering and dispersing between the two of them. Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "What is your Excellency referring to?"
Qin Zeng closed his eyes in silence for a moment, and then opened his eyes after a while. His pupils were filled with clouds, as if a storm was coming. He said: "This time the Mu family and the fourth prince took this breath, it was just the calm before the storm. Your Majesty ordered me to Such a decision is intended to upset the balance of power between North Korea and China."
He unknowingly talked about the emperor's order with Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi was flattered and was speechless for a moment before saying: "I didn't expect that things would develop so fast. If it weren't for me..."
"It's none of your business. If someone plots against you, there's no need for you to wrong yourself. Just accept the move."
Li Qingyi blocked the second half of his sentence, but he felt very comfortable.
"I see."
Qin Zeng looked at her, "Sooner or later, there will always be an opportunity. But I didn't expect that the original reason was because Mu Ying wanted to kill you."
Li Qingyi spread his hands speechlessly: "It's not because my lord is rich and handsome. It is true that you are... an eunuch. Who would have thought that Mu Ying could be so involved in an official... Speaking of which, I am obviously innocent!"
Qin Zeng glanced at her sideways and refused to comment on her slippery face.
"But where did you, a young lady who has yet to grow hair, get the courage to confront the Fourth Prince like this?"
Li Qingyi touched his nose and didn't want to answer. Even if he answered, it would be the same as before. She would tell him if she had the chance. but not now.
However, Qin Zeng did not ask further questions, and instead said, "I saw that you moved much more freely, and you recovered well?"
"It's just a flesh wound, not a muscle or bone injury. Your Excellency has sent so many miraculous medicines, so it's not surprising that you recovered quickly." Li Qingyi replied casually, and then asked: "How are those women? Can any of them regain their consciousness?"
"Many famous doctors came here for diagnosis and treatment, and they all said that these women have been heartbroken for too long and there is no good solution. Whether they can get better in the future depends on God's will."
Li Qingyi muttered to himself, and said after careful consideration: "The fourth prince has such a twisted and extreme temperament, and he and Mu Ying are almost like biological brothers and sisters."
When Qin Zeng heard the words, he said in a cool voice: "After all, the blood of the Mu family remains on them. It's not surprising that the cousins have similar temperaments."
Li Qingyi thought for a while and gave guidance again, "I don't know how the two of them grew up with such crooked temperaments. Could it be that they have been burdened with something since they were young? I think Concubine Mu is also very strong. Although she and the Fourth Prince They are mother and son, but they always seem to be separated by a layer. The queen and the prince are more powerful than the mother and son. They are under pressure that others cannot understand, but they are also very close."
"You have only met them a few times, but you can see clearly."
Li Qingyi secretly rolled his eyes, why did Qin Zeng always hold on to her, the point is not this, okay!
She was unwilling to give in and added, "I heard that Mrs. Mu's wife had a son before, but he died in infancy."
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "You said that the fourth prince and Mu Ying were like brothers and sisters, and you said that the fourth prince and Concubine Mu were separated by a layer, and now you mentioned the son of the eldest wife of the Mu family who died young. Is it possible that you think the four princes are like brothers and sisters? The prince actually..."
When he reached the point of speaking in general, he stopped.
Li Qingyi knew that he understood what she meant, and laughed dryly: "Ha... I also accidentally heard about the eldest wife of the Mu family at the birthday banquet. Women always like to think nonsense, so that's what I'll say..."
Qin Zeng squinted at her, "Don't talk nonsense to others, or you may get into trouble!"
"Well... I'm just telling you!"
When Qin Zeng heard this, his face relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Li Qingyi thought of something again and said, "I think the Mu family might have secretly exchanged ideas on the day Mu Ying was burned at the stake. Even if Mu Yuanchang wouldn't do it, the fourth prince might not."
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said, "Is there anything else you can't think of?"
Li Qingyi laughed awkwardly, "Haha, blah blah blah..."
*****
Song Qian worked hard in the morning, evening, morning and dusk, all day long.
Even if the second lady, Mrs. Lin, claimed that she was ill and did not need to come to her, she would not come. She only said that she was ill and that she should serve her closely. She always seemed decent and sensible. The old lady praised her many times, which made Mrs. Lin grit her teeth in anger.
However, they are all foxes, and the old fox’s conduct is deeper.
Song Qian said that she wanted to serve him personally, so Mrs. Lin asked her to serve him personally.
Within two days, Song Qian, who had been raised pampered, felt tired and had back pain and became "sick".
Mrs. Lin was in a rare mood and ran to Qianyun Pavilion to "care" for Song Qian.
Song Qian came out to greet Ms. Lin with a look on her face. Ms. Lin said, "It's all my fault, and it made you sick too."
Song Qian kept saying she didn't dare, "Madam, what you said really frustrates me. It's all useless to me, I can't even do a small thing well."
Mrs. Lin entered the room and sat down, "I brought you some blood swallows. You can keep them to recuperate your health, and cheer up quickly, lest the master will feel distressed after seeing them."
Wei Shiyuan and Song Qian are now mixing honey with oil, and Mrs. Lin no longer feels like her heart is bleeding.
From the moment Song Qian walked in, Wei Shiyuan was her enemy.
"Thank you madam for your concern! Cai Ping, show me some tea quickly!"
Caiping agreed and made tea quickly.
Mrs. Lin took it and fiddled with it a few times, and she could tell by looking at the leaves that it was rain tea. "I thought the old lady's rain tea had been distributed to each room, but I didn't expect you to get some too."
"Madam, I misunderstood. This tea was sent by Sister Wen, who was the first one."
"oh?"
Song Qian was a little thoughtful and said: "Sister Wen is the kindest person. She said that she couldn't drink such light tea, and it was a pity to keep it away, so she brought it to me."
Lin really grasped the key point, "You guys are close, which is good, there must be someone who can talk to pass the time."
Song Qian smiled and said, "Yes, Madam is busy with things. I don't dare to disturb Madam often. Having Sister Wen talk to me will prevent me from having nothing to do on weekdays."
Why do you have nothing to do? You still have to serve that beast Wei Shiyuan!
Lin lowered his head to drink tea, hiding the disgust in his eyes.
Song Qian lowered his head and said nothing, but raised the corners of his lips.
