Although the two have already become a couple, that time was an accident, and they can't be shy on weekdays!
Li Qingyi's little head almost exploded, "No! No way..."
Qin Zeng suddenly laughed when he heard this: "You little fool..."
Only then did Li Qingyi realize that he didn't mean that. The blood all over his body rushed to his face, and his whole body was on fire!
It's... so embarrassing!
Qin Zeng smiled, looking at her cloud-like cheeks, and something began to boil in his heart. He reached out and pushed the messy hair on Li Qingyi's face behind her ears, and couldn't help but pinch her earlobe.
Li Qingyi subconsciously grabbed his hand to stop him, but Qin Zeng's fingertips became hot. He couldn't help the urge. He suddenly leaned down and took Li Qingyi's sweet lips into his mouth, deeply and deeply. Breathe the fragrance from her mouth into your lungs.
Li Qingyi was suddenly shocked by his actions, and then, after spending the past few days together through thick and thin, the myriad of emotions in her heart came back, and she couldn't help but hug him back, deepening the kiss even more.
Qin Zeng suddenly received a response, and the waves in his body surged, and he could hardly hold it back. He quickly withdrew from her breathing, "You little girl, you always do things unexpectedly."
How could Li Qingyi have the nerve to say that he couldn't help himself? He almost rolled himself into a shrimp, "I... will dress you!"
Her hands were a little weak due to the intimate movements just now. Fortunately, Qin Zeng cooperated and she managed to put on her clothes neatly.
He tidied himself up, opened the carriage curtain and asked Nagasawa, "Is there anything unusual in the capital these past two days?"
Nagasawa replied: "Your Excellency was assassinated, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. It was found that a group of people from the Jianghu Qimen had made hidden murder weapons and sold them on the black market. Guo Chongli, the Minister of Household Affairs, was suspected of having contact with this group of people. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are jointly investigating the matter .”
Li Qingyi heard this and thought that Qin Zeng's guess was indeed correct. The real culprit behind the scenes wanted to blame the Guo family.
If mother and daughter Guo and Wei Laner knew how much trouble their actions would bring to the Guo family, they would probably regret it!
However, who leaked Guo Chongli’s actions?
If there had been conflicts and divisions within the Guo family, could it be that someone from the Guo family cooperated with the real culprit behind the scenes to frame Guo Chongli?
Qin Zeng said that of the two legitimate sons of Guo Shangshu, the eldest son was a martial artist and the second son was a civil servant. Guo Shangshu was a civil servant, so his behavior was naturally more consistent with that of the second son. Could it be that the eldest son Guo Lingyi was afraid that his younger brother would steal the family business from him?
But that's not right. The two brothers, each with their own merits in literature and martial arts, complement each other's strengths to support the family business more securely. There is no need to fight to the death. Is there anyone else in the Guo family who has the ability to compete with Guo Lingyi and Guo Chongli and want to get rid of them one by one?
Li Qingyi was thoughtful and thought that he could follow this clue to check. If he could find this person, he could follow the clues and confirm the person behind the scenes.
Although she guessed that the person behind the scenes was probably the Fourth Prince, everything must be done with solid evidence. There was no way to convict someone based on speculation.
Nagasawa continued to report back: "In addition, the Chongnan envoy will arrive in Dajing soon, and the emperor has appointed the four princes as imperial envoys to greet him."
Li Qingyi raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The safety of the envoy involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries. If something goes wrong with the envoy in Dajing, it is likely to provoke a war between the two countries, which is no small matter.
If Mu Rencheng, the third master of Mu, is really colluding with Chongnan, the fourth prince must also know it as well as Concubine Mu. The emperor sent him to greet the Chongnan envoy, which prevented the Mu family from causing trouble. A wonderful move.
However, after all, the fourth prince has a distinguished status, so for him to welcome the envoy in person would inevitably be a bit of a humiliation.
Just as he was thinking of this, Qin Zeng asked: "Has the emperor assigned other errands to the fourth prince?"
Nagasawa looked admiring and said, "Your Excellency, he knows things well. Your Majesty has asked the fourth prince to go south on a patrol in his stead to perform supervisory duties and welcome back the envoys."
Monitor?
Li Qingyi was surprised. Are the people he wants to supervise the governors of various regions?
She couldn't understand what kind of medicine the emperor was selling in his gourd.
Qin Zeng curled his lips and smiled, "That's very good."
Li Qingyi shook his head secretly. He knew only a little about the affairs of the court, how could he see more clearly than Qin Zeng.
She tilted her head to look at him.
The light of spring shines in from the carriage window and falls on Qin Zeng's slightly pale and weak face after recovering from an illness, making the curves of his cheeks as solemn and elegant as ink lines.
Qin Zeng asked Nagaze, then lowered the car curtain. Seeing Li Qingyi looking at him in awe, he smiled and held her hand.
On a brisk spring afternoon, the heat in their palms penetrated each other's skin, penetrated into each other's blood, and surged straight into their chests.
*****
Wei Mansion.
Weilander left the pouring rain behind, rolled his wooden wheelchair quickly, and rushed into his yard.
At this time, her body was drenched, and her long black hair had fallen down, sticking to her body wetly.
The faint warm yellow light emanating from the window lattice seemed to be the only light and warmth in the world, and the faintly tall figure in the bright light made her tightened shoulders slowly relax and sag.
As if she sensed someone outside the window, the figure paused for a moment, then moved to the door, opened the door and said to her: "Go take a shower and change clothes first, I'll wait for you here."
Guo Qian's voice was deep and calm, making Wei Laner unconsciously want to listen.
She walked slowly towards the side pavilion, and after washing, she let the girl wring her hair dry. When she finished arranging it and stood in front of her cousin Guo Qian, she had already been there for half an hour.
There were only a few candles lit in the room, and Guo Qian's side face was in a trance in the yellow shadow. The small tear mole under his eyes was dark and outstanding, giving his face a unique temperament.
Wei Laner was stunned for a moment. He never felt that his cousin had such a strong sense of existence before. At this time, it seemed that there was only his attention in the world and nothing else.
Guo Qian's gaze helped her gradually regain her strength, and her heart that was floating on the turbulent waves finally calmed down, "Cousin, you have been waiting for a long time."
Guo Qian looked at her, as if she felt that she had been in a daze for too long. He ignored her greetings and asked, "What were you thinking about just now?"
Her mind was filled with confusion, and she blurted out in a low voice subconsciously: "Qin Zeng..."
As soon as the name came out, she suddenly felt the air around her solidify, and a strange atmosphere spread in the room.
Although Guo Qian's expression did not move under the shadow of the lamp, his tone was not as gentle as before, and he said: "It seems that even if the Guo family is involved in this dispute, you are still very persistent with Qin Zeng."
Wei Laner was stunned for a moment and wanted to say that he was not obsessed with Qin Zeng, but was just thinking about what happened this time.
However, when she saw Guo Qian's sudden change of attitude, she forgot even the explanation.
Her cousin always spoke softly to her and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.
But now he has a cold attitude, he must blame her for harming his father.
"Cousin, I'm very confused. I didn't know that this matter would develop to this point. I just wanted to kill Li Qingyi, but apart from the hidden weapons, I didn't know where the people who ambushed Qin Zeng came from. Yes, I asked my mother, but she doesn’t know either..."
Guo Qian's voice was a little cold: "Then what?"
Wei Lan'er was a little afraid to face Guo Qian, "I pride myself on being smart, but right now I don't have any solution at all, and I don't even have the slightest clue."
Guo Qian stood up, his face emerged from the warm light, and his expression became even colder. He said, "In my opinion, in your current situation, if you don't resist, listen to your grandmother's words, and marry Xu Xiang obediently, The young master can also save the Guo family from fire and water from another angle."
Wei Laner said in a trembling voice: "I am the instigator of this matter. My grandmother wanted to use my marriage to relieve the Guo family's predicament. I should not refuse, but I am really unwilling to marry that fool from the Xu family..."
Guo Qian raised his eyes and looked at her, "So? Do you want to commit yourself to the most powerful eunuch in the court, dedicate your body and dignity in a humble way, and ask him to clear the Guo family's name?"
"What does cousin mean by this?" Wei Laner looked at him inexplicably.
The condensed Guo Qian said, "How could Qin Zeng ever put me in his eyes? How could he do it for me..."
"It seems you are self-aware. If so, why are you still plotting to kill Li Qingyi in an attempt to replace him?!"
"Cousin!" Wei Lan'er was a little angry. She didn't know if he was angry because he had dragged down the Guo family, and he even insulted her. "If my cousin thinks that I am a disaster now, there is no way to help my cousin. Cousin Of course it can be said clearly that the worst case scenario is that we all have our own agenda and break up. Why do you have to say these words over and over again to hurt people?"
Guo Qian's face turned completely dark, and Wei Laner could almost feel the icy aura emanating from him. He took a step forward, came to her, and said above her head: "What's the big deal? Everyone wants to do their own thing?" Two shots?"
Guo Qian was more than a head taller than Wei Laner. She tried her best to look up at him, feeling increasingly confused. She heard him say coldly: "You have used me, and you want to burn bridges? Do you want to get rid of the Guo family easily and become your third girl from the Wei family?"
"I, I didn't..." Wei Lan'er defended, "I and the Guo family are one, so how could I think like this... It's just that my cousin seems to want me to marry that stupid son of Xiang Xu. Even I Mom has also given up hope, is there no other way?"
"So, you are not obsessed with Qin Zeng, but you just don't want to marry into the Xu family?" Guo Qian's frown slowly relaxed, and he looked surprised.
"When I argued with Li Qingyi, I just wanted the best, but ended up in this situation. How could I be willing to accept it?"
"If you just don't want to marry that fool from the Guo family, I will help you."
Weilander looked up in surprise, "What?"
"I will help you persuade grandma to find other ways to solve this matter." Guo Qian looked down at the heavy black and blue under her eyes and the tired look on her face, and felt a little softer.
Wei Laner looked at Guo Qian in surprise, "My cousin is really willing to help me? Even my mother..."
Guo Qian looked at her straightly, "I have fulfilled every word I said to you, haven't I?"
"Yes...my cousin has never lied to me."
Guo Qian looked at her and stretched out his hand to her, "Then, you should listen to me now..."
