After hearing that his royal sister loved roasted rabbit meat, the fifth prince hurriedly took his personal bodyguards to the mountains to hunt.
Finally getting his fifth brother away, Li Sixu looked at the steward: "Sisi wants to go to the hot spring that the steward mentioned?"
"In that valley!"
The steward wanted to lead the way, so Li Sixu smiled and said, "It's good to have Mr. Zuo Qingdao to accompany you. My princess's fifth brother rarely hunts. Please ask the steward to find a few experienced farmers to help him."
As soon as the fifth prince left, Li Linhuai looked at Li Sixu with a half-smile.
Indeed, as the princess said, the fifth prince is too stupid!
If the tenth princess loved to eat roasted rabbit meat, the two rabbits that the third prince sent to Linglong Palace would not have brought a litter of rabbits to the Palace of Ganlu. Today, the Palace of Ganlu has a group of rabbits and a lot of birds and other small animals. animal.
When Li Linhuai revealed that she was trying to coax the fifth prince, Li Sixu grinned helplessly and asked Li Linhuai to lead the way.
Walking deeper along the mountain side, we reached the valley pointed by the steward. We didn't see the hot spring he mentioned, but we bumped into a woodcutter coming down the mountain to collect firewood.
"Is this old man a farmer at the foot of the mountain?"
Li Sixu stopped and asked, "Is there a hot spring in this valley?"
"Yes, the little one will lead the way for this noble man!"
The woodcutter answered too simply. Li Sixu, who had sharp eyes, saw that the part of his neck exposed under his wrinkled skin was very white, and gave Li Linhuai a shocked look.
After looking around, she was very sure that there was no one in the valley, so she trotted to catch up.
"My uncle's disguise technique was so powerful that he even changed his voice. He almost deceived Sisi."
"In order to save me, the princess took a huge risk and got the fourth young master of the Zuo Yulin family involved. If you are not careful, the imperial doctor Zheng who helped me and the general Zuo Yulin's mansion will suffer disaster."
Wang Shouyi, who was even a little hunched over carrying firewood, had a wrinkled face and moist eyes: "I shouldn't have come to see the princess, but before leaving the capital, I wanted to ask the princess about their current situation."
Li Sixu was surprised: "Uncle is leaving the capital?"
"Yes, I thought about it carefully. If I still stay in the capital, if I am not careful, I will undoubtedly become a weapon against the Queen and Qingyang. I am already dead. Only by leaving the capital can I let them live in peace. day."
"Princess, there is no need to persuade me!"
Walking to the steaming hot springs, Wang Shouyi put the bundle of firewood he was carrying on the ground: "The sky is high enough for birds to fly, and the sea is wide enough for fish to jump. I also want to change my way of life and go for a walk outside. look."
He looked at Li Sixu gratefully: "Although I know that the princess will take care of the queen and Qingyang, I still have concerns in my heart. I asked Zuo Qingdao to lead Mr. Zuo Qingdao to meet the princess. I just want to find out from the princess in person what my sister and Qingyang are. How are you doing?"
In addition to thinking about the queen, Wang Shou mentioned Princess Qingyang several times.
Li Sixu couldn't help but ask, "Does uncle miss Aunt Qingyang?"
"So what if I miss you? If a dead person like me appears in front of her, it will only bring disaster to her."
Wang Shouyi sighed: "It's because I couldn't forgive her and fell into someone else's trap, causing her and her sister to end up like this."
"Aunt Qingyang didn't blame uncle!"
Li Sixu told Wang Shouyi that she got the jade plaque from Zen Master Dahui and went to find Princess Qingyang.
"It was my aunt who stepped forward that led to the current situation. The queen mother is living well in the cold palace, but Concubine Shu and Wu Chongyuan, who harmed her, are now fighting to the death."
Hearing Li Sixu talk about Princess Qingyang's current situation, and knowing that the queen's life in the cold palace was not as uncomfortable and painful as he thought, Wang Shouyi's eyes became moist again.
"Your mother is living a good life. My hanging heart has finally settled down. These days, I have been dreaming about my death at Lantian Station. When your mother learned of my death, she was depressed in the cold palace and could not do anything. How long do you need to stay up?”
Wang Shouyi sighed: "Maybe it's because I'm tired of the art of victory. I'm frightened every day, and I think about it every day and dream about it at night!"
Not really!
The man in front of him was supposed to die at Lantian Station, and the queen mother couldn't bear the shock after learning about his death, so she contracted an illness and died in the cold palace.
Just because of her, everything changed.
Li Sixu did not tell the secret in her heart. She looked at Wang Shouyi comfortingly: "The dreams are all fake, everything is over!"
"Yes, everything is over, thanks to you."
Wang Shouyi stretched out his calloused hand and touched Li Sixu's head lightly: "It's time for uncle to leave the capital!"
Li Sixu saw attachment and reluctance in Wang Shouyi's eyes. The Duke's Mansion went from glory to decline. Perhaps she felt that there was no end to the road and could see a glimmer of light, so there was also a hidden meaning in his eyes. A hint of determination.
After experiencing hardships and ups and downs, the once noble and noble Lord has changed.
Li Sixu felt a little soft-hearted: "If uncle still wants to see the queen mother and Aunt Qingyang, Sisi may be able to think of a way."
"No, thank you princess!"
Wang Shouyi decisively refused: "Only by knowing how to be patient can I not let them have any worries, let alone put the people who help me in danger. This is the only thing I can do."
As Wang Shou picked up the bundle of firewood and was about to leave, Li Sixu's lips twitched and she wanted to say something else, when a burst of shouting came from the valley.
Immediately afterwards, the hunting dogs raised in the village chased a rabbit and jumped out of the bushes. The arrows shot quickly and the rabbit fell to the ground.
"I'm cumming! I'm cumming!"
The fifth prince and several farmers ran out of the woods excitedly, picked up rabbits and ran towards Li Sixu: "Royal sister, fifth brother has hunted several rabbits, and we have roast rabbit meat."
"Fifth brother is so capable!"
Li Sixu was still immersed in the mood that Wang Shouyi was about to leave the capital, and couldn't bring up any interest.
The fifth prince looked at the figure disappearing from the mountain col: "Who was the person who just talked to you?"
"The woodcutter!"
Li Sixu pointed to the hot spring not far from her feet: "Sisi asked an adult to accompany me to find the hot spring. I got lost while walking in this mountain col, so I had to find a woodcutter to ask for directions."
When Li Sixu was talking to the fifth prince, a villager who came to hunt with him said strangely: "That man looks unfamiliar, he is not from our village."
"You are not allowed to come to other villages to collect firewood!"
Another villager answered: "Our village is adjacent to the manor of His Royal Highness King Tan and the Crown Prince, so we don't have to be too clear when we are drawing firewood."
The honest banker has no doubt that he has it and grins innocently.
After hunting several rabbits and pheasants, the fifth prince was so happy that the villagers who followed him hunting were rewarded with two taels of silver each.
The two taels of silver saved by some flowers were enough for food and clothing for half a year. The farmer who was accompanying him for hunting sent the rabbit to another courtyard and left with a smile and a grateful smile.
"Fifth brother spent a lot of money on this rabbit, Sisi must show off his skills."
