Song Yang was probably the last person Lin Ji offended. His words were still ringing in his ears when he was beaten again and again, but the person who was beaten was already dead.
No wonder some people say that Song Yang killed Lin Ji.
What do the people in the street talk about after dinner?
The emperor traveled incognito and met a certain woman by chance. The story about a princess living among the people is one of the most popular stories among the people.
The second thing I am interested in is the secrets among high-ranking families. Whenever something is spread, many people will spread rumors and make up many versions, each of which can become a storyteller in the market.
Li Qingyi said: "I don't know if anyone in the Lin family will continue to investigate this matter. I always feel that the matter is not over yet..."
Li Miaoran answered: "Yes, the missing girl hasn't shown up yet!"
While they were talking, they had already arrived at Li Mansion and entered the gate together. Ruan did not scold Li Miaoran this time, but whispered: "I didn't expect Mrs. Zou to die like this. I was still thinking that she would return to Lin Mansion in the future. Do you dare to be a monster? I really didn’t expect it... This can be regarded as retribution for a person with such a despicable temperament..."
Li Miaoran interjected from the side, "Mom, how can you be polite to this kind of person? Many of her actions are much worse than despicable. She is simply shameless!"
Li Qingyi chuckled, and the two sisters made a fuss.
Mrs. Ruan stretched out her finger and poked each of them, "Okay, we are all tired today. I will ask the big kitchen to deliver dinner to each courtyard later. You all have a rest early. We have to go to Zhen Mansion tomorrow."
The Li family has a small population. They always eat at the same table as a family, and rarely eat separately.
Everyone was indeed tired today. How could they still have the energy to run to the main courtyard for dinner and then come back?
Sister Li Qingyi each agreed and returned to their own yard.
When golden clouds covered the western sky, Nagasawa suddenly appeared in Qinghuaiyuan. Li Qingyi handed the pills prepared in advance to him and told him: "It is best to use death row prisoners to test the medicine. Don't hurt anyone."
Li Qingyi followed Qin Zeng in his previous life and learned several things in Dongchang. Although they were all superficial, there was one thing she learned so well that she excelled in her skills.
Just dispensing medicine.
On the day she came back from rebirth, she knew that Princess Yuanheng was coming to Li's house, so she asked Isatis to go to the warehouse to get some medicinal materials and prepare a slightly hallucinogenic incense.
This is the simplest.
Dongchang has many secret medicines suitable for various purposes.
In her previous life, Qin Zeng went out to work during the day and was away from home. When she felt bored, she found something to do for herself. At first, she learned to identify medicinal materials just to pass the time. Later, she discovered that she was quite talented in this way. Not only could she follow the prescriptions accurately, When blending, I can often draw inferences from one example and create many new things. Although the effects are all kinds of strange, there are also many useful ones.
There were several items that were of great use to Qin Zeng, so after Li Qingyi was reborn, he thought about how to make these medicines without being suspected by Qin Zeng.
Finally decided to use the old method.
One time when she went back to the Qin Mansion, Li Qingyi asked someone from Dongchang to teach her how to prepare medicine on the pretext that she wanted to learn some skills.
Qin Zeng always believed that having too many skills was not enough for him, so he did not object and called Xie Rao to come over and teach her.
Xie Rao taught her seriously and asked her to practice slowly after returning home.
Of course, Li Qingyi "made rapid progress". Xie Rao was shocked again and again and told Qin Zeng that she was extremely talented.
Li Qingyi herself didn't know whether her talent was extremely high, but she did learn very quickly in this aspect.
This matter has been brewing for several months. When they last met, she told Qin Zeng that she had prepared a new medicine and asked Qin Zeng to go back and try it.
No, Nagasawa came to pick up the medicine today.
Nagasawa seemed to be dissatisfied with the "medicine efficacy" that she, a newbie in medicine, said, but still responded: "Yes, I will definitely explain it to you, sir."
"By the way, how's the situation at Jiuzhonglou?"
Nagasawa took the pills and was about to leave. He was already halfway through climbing over the wall. Hearing this, he climbed back again. "A project as big as the Jiuzhong Building requires a lot of money. The Ministry of Accounts and the Ministry of Works are arguing with each other. There is already a quarrel." quite often
day. "..
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "It's better to make a fuss. It's better to make a fuss out of the household department's deficit."
Nagasawa heard this and said, "Yes, your Excellency said so too."
The emperor planned to build a nine-story building for Concubine Mu. One of the reasons was to flatter the Mu family, and the other was to draw out the court bugs, find problems, and intensify conflicts in order to solve the problems. If you blindly whitewash peace, the hole will only become a bottomless pit.
Only when the treasury is full can the court have money to raise troops and provide food for disaster relief, creating a virtuous cycle.
As the saying goes, be prepared for danger in times of peace. Now that the country and the people are safe in Dajing, they have to work hard to bring out all the problems in the dark so that they can be corrected. If something happens, such as the invasion of other countries, or natural disasters in successive years, when the time comes I want to bother again, but I can’t afford it.
"I bumped into the Crown Prince in the Wei Mansion today. The Crown Prince didn't say anything to you, right?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not mentioned Miss Li to your Excellency." Nagasawa shook his head and asked doubtfully, "Did something wrong happen?"
Li Qingyi wanted to know if the prince had mentioned Li Miaoran to Qin Zeng, but she didn't want people to know that Li Miaoran had contacted the prince in private, so she said, "It's nothing. I just think that you are busy enough every day, and you have to catch the prince everywhere."
Nagasawa was surprised and said, "Is the girl caring about you, sir?"
Li Qingyi thought his question was strange.
She has always cared about Qin Zeng, but she always remembers her identity at this time and cannot show it too obviously. However, in this way, she will inevitably appear ungrateful!
Is it possible that Changze and others privately feel that they are white-eyed wolves?
She coughed dryly, "After all, your adults have helped me many times, and I always have to repay you."
Nagasawa smiled and said, "Your Excellency said yesterday that Miss Li doesn't seem to have a conscience and knows how to repay kindness. I didn't expect that the girl has been looking for opportunities to repay you."
When Li Qingyi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched unconsciously, "I want to thank him, but your master is so powerful that I can't find a chance to thank him. Please tell me for me, if there is anything I can do to help you. , I am always at your service."
Nagasawa answered without thinking, "My lord, I told you that if Miss Li has this intention, she should take the time to visit the house. Your lord has something to say to Miss Li."
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows, okay, I'll wait for her here!
When people set the time, the crescent moon hangs upside down on the treetops.
Li Qingyi had dinner and took a short nap, making sure that his uncle and aunt were all asleep, and then accompanied by Changlan Changning, he went to the Qin Mansion under the moonlight.
Chang Ning asked: "My lord didn't say that he wanted to see the girl urgently. Why didn't the girl wait until she was free during the day?"
Li Qingyi said: "The silence of the night is more suitable for whispering."
After Chang Ning heard this, he almost tripped himself and fell under the wall of Qin Mansion.
The girl wants to whisper to an adult?
What would that be?
When Li Qingyi arrived at Qin Zeng's empty mountain residence where he was handling official business, he was still immersed in many official documents. The dim yellow candlelight reflected his lowered eyebrows, which seemed bright and dark. The exquisite pine and crane embroidery on the neckline is just like his personality, with outstanding style.
For a moment she didn't know whether to disturb him or not, so she stood at the door for a while.
Qin Zeng, who was sitting in front of the case, seemed to have eyes on his head and said, "Now that you are here, why are you standing there stupidly?"
Being called "silly" by him, Li Qingyi cursed in his heart, but on his face he bowed politely: "Your Excellency."
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows, his sleeves swayed slightly as he put down his pen, and shadows overlapped between his actions and movements, "You have always been indulgent in front of the governor, how come you still stick to the rules today?"
Li Qingyi saw him raise his head. The green brocade attire on his body made him look particularly slim, tall and graceful.
She suddenly remembered a sentence: Look at the mountains upstairs, the snow on the top of the city, and the beauties under the lamp.
Qin Zeng saw her stunned and lost her mind, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Li Qingyi couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Ah...it's nothing. The medicine that Nagasawa brought back is great."
Has anyone tried it? "
Qin Zeng pointed to the chair next to him and motioned for her to sit down: "I tried it, and it worked wonderfully. The person who tested the medicine died so shocked that the other prisoners were frightened into confessing."
Li Qingyi couldn't laugh or cry after hearing his description, and said against his will: "Really... I didn't know this medicine was so effective..."
However, Qin Zeng had no intention of joking with her, and his expression looked very dark and solemn under the candle shadow.
Li Qingyi realized that he really had something important to say to him, and he quickly asked seriously: "Is there something that makes you feel embarrassed, sir?"
Qin Zeng stood up, held back his sleeves, flicked the candlelight in front of the case, and called Nagasawa in to bring freshly brewed tea. After everyone left, he slowly spoke, "For more than ten years, I have Day and night, I drift up and down in the world, and I can't sleep peacefully in the vastness of the emperor's grace. Now, the rest of my life is about to be controlled by others, and I will have no peace."
Li Qingyi didn't understand why and asked: "Can't people like you, Sir, not be able to control their own lives?"
"A person like me? In your eyes, what kind of person am I? Can I despise the imperial power and overturn the rights of the world at will?"
Qin Zeng raised his head slightly, looked at the auspicious cloud-patterned beasts on the embossed doors, and mocked: "The imperial palace is the most unlucky place in the world. Even if I am under the care of the emperor, I can have anyone." The freedom that I have never had before, that kind of darkness lingers around me all the time and cannot be dissipated.”
He looked away and looked at Li Qingyi, "So, I have always wanted to find someone who can help me."
Li Qingyi looked at him in surprise, something faintly flickering in his eyes, "Why would you believe me, sir?"
She trusted Qin Zeng and got close to him because she had memories of her past life.
But Qin Zeng didn't.
Qin Zeng's gaze went deep into the depths of her black eyes, where there were countless complex emotions intertwined with each other, but they were extremely clear and clear. Suffering or sin seems to be frozen into ice by the determination in it, and then melted into nothingness.
He pushed open the window and said, "Because you are sharp, smart, and courageous enough. And because I can understand your eyes. So, I believe you."
Li Qingyi suddenly received the trust conveyed by Qin Zeng, and it would be a lie to say that she was not excited, but she was more concerned about what Qin Zeng said just now: "What do you mean when you say that you will be controlled by others for the rest of your life? "
Qin Zeng looked at her and said, "Before, you asked me about my life experience."
Li Qingyi's heart skipped a beat, "Sir...is it convenient for you to tell me now?"
