Qin Zeng looked into her eyes.
There are unknown emotions inside that are ready to stir, but are suppressed and not allowed to jump.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "There are so many royal relatives in Beijing, is it possible that everyone needs me to protect them when they go out?"
Li Qingyi felt a little more comfortable after hearing this. He looked closely at his features, but couldn't help but test his words, "Then you won't care about her? Princess Ancheng is different after all..."
Qin Zeng muttered: "It is true that we cannot let her do whatever she wants. If anything happens, she will not be able to explain to the emperor and empress."
After all, it’s not about protecting the princess...
Li Qingyi was thinking in his mind when he heard Qin Zeng say again: "But I still have something to do, so I'd like you to take care of the princess first. I'll ask the emperor for your credit later."
"Ah?" Li Qingyi looked at him in surprise: "I'll take care of her?"
"You are always smart and alert. If you find any signs, immediately summon people from Dongchang. I will be in the temple and will come as soon as possible."
Li Qingyi frowned and said dissatisfied: "That Princess An Cheng has such a perverse temperament..."
"Although the princess is willful, she is still easy to get along with. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with her with your intelligence." Qin Zeng had seen such a young daughter in her, and his eyes could not help but overflow with warmth.
Li Qingyi had some misunderstandings when he saw this. He thought that Qin Zeng was indeed very familiar with Princess Ancheng. He not only allowed her to act coquettishly, but also spoke for her.
She hummed softly: "Then you come back quickly, I still have things to do."
Today, Qin Zeng was ordered by the emperor to come to the temple to pick up something from Master Honghua. He calculated the time and felt that it would not take long, so he said, "I will come back to you soon."
The two entered the temple together. Qin Zeng went to find Master Honghua, while Li Qingyi asked the monk about the whereabouts of Princess Ancheng.
Princess Ancheng traveled incognito today without any fanfare, so there were many people in the temple who came to offer incense and worship Buddha. Li Qingyi was afraid that something might happen to her and Qin Zeng would be involved, so he hurried to look for her.
Princess Ancheng was currently in the main hall asking for a fortune.
Li Qingyi found her easily and knelt down on a futon nearby, prayed for his deceased grandparents and father, and bought a lot of sesame oil money.
Princess Ancheng was probably afraid that others would find out her identity. She called the emperor and empress her father and mother. In addition to praying for the health of her father, mother and brothers, all she wanted was the marriage that a woman cared about most.
But she deliberately lowered her voice, and Li Qingyi couldn't hear what she said clearly.
Thinking of the scene in front of the temple just now, she couldn't help but think wildly.
When Qin Zeng regained his identity in the previous life, Princess Ancheng had already recruited her consort to leave the palace and build a mansion.
So Li Qingyi didn't know whether Princess An Cheng had any history with Qin Zeng, but looking at Princess An Cheng's attitude towards Qin Zeng, it was obvious that she was very trusting and familiar with her.
Because of Li Qingyi's rebirth in this life, many things happened in advance or never happened at all. Even Concubine Mu wanted the Mu family girls to become Qin Zeng's rivals. So would Princess Ancheng also know in advance that Qin Zeng was not a eunuch? Do you want him to be your consort?
Judging from Qin Zeng's attitude towards Princess Ancheng, it seems that he is a little more patient than others.
Li Qingyi was in a gloomy mood.
She only met Qin Zeng when she was a teenager, and she knew very little about Qin Zeng's youth. She didn't dare to ask in her previous life, and she didn't have the chance to ask too much in this life.
Today, I met Princess Ancheng, who grew up with Qin Zeng. She could not help feeling regretful that she had missed more than ten years of Qin Zeng's life.
Over there, Princess Ancheng clasped her hands and murmured for a long time. When she found Li Qingyi beside her, she asked, "Where is Qin Zeng?"
Li Qingyi subconsciously didn't want to say more and just said: "He has something to do."
Princess Ancheng said "Oh" unhappily and said nothing further. She stood up and walked out of the palace, and the maid beside her quickly followed.
Li Qingyi accepted Qin Zeng's instructions and followed Princess Ancheng from a distance to ensure that she was within his sight.
Dawu took this opportunity to come over and reply to Li Qingyi, saying: "There are monks at Dapudu Temple who record the annals of the year, but they only have a few sentences to describe the fire that year, and it is impossible to know the details."
"No details were mentioned...but if there are casualties, they will definitely be recorded, right?"
Dawu shook his head, "My subordinates carefully read the records elsewhere and found that if something happened in the temple, it would definitely write down how many people died, male or female, but the fire was indeed not mentioned."
Li Qingyi thought for a moment and said: "In that fire, the fake Aunt He replaced the real Aunt He, and the servants of the Rongchang Prefecture were also safe. If Aunt He's body appeared in the fire, wouldn't there be one more person? It must have been moved away."
Dawu nodded: "There were no casualties, so it's not a big deal. Naturally, not many people remember it. My subordinates searched the temple for several days before they found a monk from that year who talked about a strange thing that day."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"The monk was still young at the time and had just become a monk. The Dapudu Temple occupies a vast area. He was not very familiar with the things in the temple, so he got lost and happened upon a man walking through the temple carrying a woman on his back. The woman looked as pale as a sheet and didn't know what was wrong. He went over and asked if he needed help. The man said that his wife had an old problem and that he had to go down the mountain to see a doctor. The monk followed them to the front hall, so this matter He remembers things very clearly."
"Then there was a fire in the Buddhist temple, and he went to put out the fire, but he saw a family member of Rongchang Bo's Mansion, who looked very similar to the woman on the man's back. He felt very strange at the time, but he couldn't ask out of curiosity. After that, as time went by, he My impression has become blurry, and when I think of this incident, I just think that the two women just look similar, and I was dazzled by the mistake. Even now, I can't even remember the other person's face."
Li Qingyi glanced at the whereabouts of Princess An Cheng and nodded thoughtfully, "A person's first impression is often the most profound, so the monk must have seen it right. The two Aunts He, the real and the fake, must have the same appearance. The similarities can also be said that people who are unfamiliar with them will think that they are the same person at a glance.”
Dawu said: "Perhaps these two were originally sisters? If we know the life experience of the real Aunt He, we might be able to find out something."
"The girl from the Zhen family said that Aunt He was abducted by a kidnapper when she was a child. She was later sold into the Zhen Mansion as a maid. When she grew up, she was spotted by the old uncle Rongchang and took her away. I wonder if she remembers what happened when she was a child. , and have you ever mentioned it to anyone?"
"The girl wants to see the monk and ask him carefully?"
Li Qingyi was just about to say that he couldn't get away for the time being when he saw Qin Zeng walking from the side of a house, glanced at her, and walked towards Princess Ancheng.
