"My cousin swore to me and told me to just wait for his good news, but the result is! Ha... trash!"
Seeing her gritting her teeth, Bi Shu had no choice but to persuade her: "Girl, maybe there is something hidden in this, so you might as well wait a little longer."
Wei Laner snorted, "What are you waiting for? No one can be trusted! This time, I want to do it myself!"
*****
The next day.
Guo Zier died of a sudden illness, and her biological mother couldn't bear the blow and hanged herself. She followed her beloved daughter to the underworld.
Li Qingyi sighed slightly when he heard the news.
Because of his rebirth, Guo Zi'er did not die at the hands of the princess, but he still could not escape his fate.
What about yourself?
Will he die in the wedding room again?
Changlan didn't know what Li Qingyi was thinking, so he asked, "I wonder if the Guo family knows the reasons behind this. Guo Zi'er is also quite miserable... However, when she accepted the mission and benefits from the eleventh princess, she should have thought that something might happen. What are the consequences?"
"This makes sense." Li Qingyi praised, and then said: "If Guo Zi'er doesn't die, it will be detrimental to the eleventh princess. If it reaches the ears of the emperor, it will also be detrimental to concubine Hui. Therefore, there is no need for the third princess to do it herself. She only needs a little If a little bit of news is revealed, Princess Eleven will go and deal with Guo Zi'er and her daughter."
As for the traitor of the Guo family, it must be easy to cover up what he did.
Li Qingyi had seen a lot of secrets in the harem and back house in his previous life, and this little thing was not enough to shock her.
Silan patted her chest and said, "Fortunately, girl, you were born in the Li family, and you are held in the palms of the hands of the old lady and the second lady, so that we slaves can also enjoy the blessings."
Li Qingyi stopped the pen in his hand and said with a smile: "What I'm saying is that being the daughter of the Li family is a blessing I have earned over several lifetimes, and I will definitely cherish it."
At this time, someone suddenly came to send a message, saying that the third princess sent someone to deliver a message to Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi didn't dare to make excuses, so he quickly straightened his clothes and went to meet people.
The visitor was Xue He who was beside the princess. She smiled sincerely when she saw Li Qingyi: "My slave, please give my regards to Miss Li."
Li Qingyi responded politely: "Come and sit in my yard."
Xuehe turned sideways and did not receive Li Qingyi's courtesy, and said: "No, I'm just here to deliver a post to the girl for the princess, and I have to return to the palace later."
Xue He is a very capable maid beside the third princess. The princess actually sends her to deliver messages to her. The meaning of friendship is already very obvious.
"The princess's mansion has been almost taken care of. The princess wants to invite the girl to come and have a look and help with the staff. By the way, let the slave give this to the girl."
Li Qingyi was a little surprised. He took the box in his hand and was hesitating whether to open it now. Xue He smiled and said, "It's not too late for Miss Li to go back and take a look."
Li Qingyi smiled when he heard this: "Thank you princess for the reward."
Xuehe delivered the things and left.
After seeing Xue He off, Silan was surprised and said, "The third princess is about to open a mansion before she has chosen her consort? Isn't this against the rules of etiquette?"
"It's not necessarily necessary to leave the palace immediately. It's okay to just be rewarded with a mansion in advance."
No wonder the eleventh princess wants to cause trouble for the third princess. The princess who is not yet married can leave the palace and build a mansion, but this is unprecedented. From this, it can be seen that the emperor's love for the third princess is not the slightest, and it will naturally arouse the jealousy of others.
Isatis hesitated to speak, but Li Qingyi knew what she wanted to say, so he said: "The third princess is indeed quite old. Logically speaking, she should have hired a consort long ago. However, the third princess is a little special."
Woad asked curiously: "What kind of special method?"
Li Qingyi explained: "After the birth of a prince or princess in this dynasty, people from the Qintian Prison will tell fortunes. Of course, those people from the Qintian Prison will not dare to tell the emperor anything bad about his children. Besides, the emperor also He is not a person who believes deeply in this way, but he just wants to be lucky, so when the prince and princess were born, they all got some auspicious words. But on the day the third princess was born, Master Honghua of Dapudu Temple happened to be giving lectures to the emperor in the palace. I looked at the face of the third princess, concentrated for a long time, and gave a painting..."
"What order?"
Li Qingyi looked at the two girls with a smile, "I don't know what it is specifically, but the emperor has never mentioned her marriage until the third princess is twenty years old, so people who know about it all speculate that the batch of fate is related to It’s about marriage.”
Silan's eyes widened, and she immediately remembered the destiny in the legendary storybook, such as "The Lonely Star of Heavenly Evil".
Li Qingyi knocked on her forehead, "Okay, stop thinking!"
Changlan was more concerned about the contents of the box: "Girl, you'd better open it quickly and take a look. What did the princess give you?"
The box is a common wooden box in the palace. It is not eye-catching and can even be called simple. It makes people feel that it definitely does not contain any valuable items.
Li Qingyi was also very curious about what would be in this box.
She slowly opened the box, and there was a small scimitar lying inside. It is as long as a dagger, has no complicated patterns, and is not decorated with gems. It looks like a simple knife overall.
Li Qingyi was a little stunned. Could it be that the princess listened to what she said to deceive Fuye, so she gave her this scimitar to tease her?
She drew her sword out of its sheath, and a cold light came into her eyes.
Li Qingyi was startled, then picked up the scissors in the basket and slashed at them. With a clang, the broken scissors fell to the ground, startling the master and servants.
Changlan's eyes shone, "Oh my God, is this the legendary way of cutting iron into clay?"
Li Qingyi was also a little stunned: "The princess actually gave me a magic weapon?"
"Such a good knife, but the scabbard is so plain that you can't even see the edge inside! Did the princess ask the girl to carry it with her for self-defense?"
The size of this scimitar is indeed suitable for self-defense. It looks ordinary and will not be coveted as a treasure.
Li Qingyi looked over and over for a long time, and suddenly thought that the princess wanted to tell her to restrain her sharpness and not to draw attention to herself by unsheathing it at will. Once out of the sheath, will it become the sharpest blade?
Was it because her marriage contract with Qin Zeng became the target of public criticism, so the princess advised her?
Li Qingyi played with the dagger for a while, then asked Chang Lan to take it and put it away. Then he asked: "Chang Ning hasn't come back yet?"
Chang Ning went to Zhen's Mansion every day to keep tabs on him, but he never found any secret passage. Li Qingyi even thought that he had made a mistake.
Just as Chang Lan was about to answer, Chang Ning ducked in through the crack in the door, panting like an ox, and had obviously sprinted back.
"Girl... slave, slave..."
Li Qingyi said amusedly: "Sip some water and speak slowly."
Changning calmed down for a while, took a sip of tea, and finally managed to speak, "Girl! There really is a secret passage! I have found the secret passage!"
