Li Jingxiao's heart tightened. He saw from Gu Qingzhi's indifferent eyes that Gu Qingzhi was not speaking out of anger. He stood up and hugged Gu Qingzhi into his arms, as if he wanted to rub the person in front of him into his bones and blood.
"No! I won't let Zhi'er down again!"
"I hope so."
An hour later, Li Jingxiao reluctantly left. Gu Qingzhi put on his clothes and called his close maid to come into the house.
"Hu Bo, go find Zhou Wan and ask him to try to contact Rong Yunyun."
"yes."
Not long after Amber went out, Coral walked in again and said to Gu Qingzhi: "Miss, the third prince wants to see you."
Gu Qingzhi hesitated for a while before saying, "No."
Although Li Jingxiao disappointed her, he was the person she personally chose in this life after all, and she wanted to give him another chance.
...
Prince's Mansion.
Chiyang ordered someone to place a deck chair in the yard, covered his face with a notebook, and lay lazily on the deck chair to bask in the sun.
She seemed to be leisurely, but in fact her mind never stopped working for a moment, trying to recall what was about to happen in her previous life.
Although many things have changed in this life, some important events are still very likely to happen, so she must recall as clearly as possible and plan for the next step.
In the previous life, the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was peaceful for a while after the emperor was attacked. It was not until the autumn hunt in September that another very bad thing happened to Li Jingxing and the Prince's Mansion.
When the autumn hunt was about to end, Li Jingxiao was accidentally assassinated, and it was initially found to be Li Jingye's person.
Li Jingye complained of injustice. Li Zetian highly recognized Li Jingye's character and believed that someone was maliciously framing him. At Li Jingxiao's suggestion, he ordered Li Jingrui, the grandson of Prince Duan, to investigate, and finally found out that the assassin was suspected to be Li Jingxing.
Li Jingxing naturally refused to admit it, but Li Zetian had completely distrusted him at that time, and was certain that Li Jingxing was the murderer without any definite evidence.
Li Zetian was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that he repeatedly killed his brothers, and for the first time he thought of deposing the crown prince. After Empress Chi learned about the situation, she immediately went to plead for mercy, which temporarily gave up Li Zetian's idea of deposing the crown prince.
In fact, at first, she had suspected that Li Jingxing was the mastermind behind the incident, but afterward, Li Jingxing became extremely angry about the incident, and even felt a little aggrieved. Only then did she realize that the murderer was not Li Jingxing.
Now it seems that it is very likely that this is another cruel trick directed and performed by Li Jingxiao. The purpose is to make Li Zetian think that Li Jingxing is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate his siblings, so he will completely dislike Li Jingxing.
In this life, Li Jingxing has ruined Li Jingxiao's plans many times, which will only make Li Jingxiao hate him even more, and he might even resort to more extreme measures.
Li Jingxing had to be prepared in advance.
So far, Li Jingxing had carried out everything she had mentioned without any doubt, which was really beyond her expectation.
It was precisely because of this that she dared to lie down with confidence and boldness.
While her soul was wandering, Caixia walked in and said, "Miss, Mr. Rong wants to see you."
Chiyang thought for a while and said, "Let her come in."
She knew that Rong Yunyun probably had bad intentions when seeing her, but now that Li Jingxing had seen clearly the face of the second roommate of the Rong family, she was not afraid of Rong Yunyun falsely accusing her in front of Li Jingxing.
On the contrary, she also wanted to find out what kind of medicine Rong Yunyun Gourd sold!
Rong Yunyun was very honest today. After coming in, he bowed respectfully and then said: "My aunt is ill and has been bedridden for many days. I am worried and want to go home for a visit. I sincerely ask the Crown Princess to allow me to go home tomorrow." One trip.”
Chiyang didn't say anything for a long time, and when Rong Yunyun was almost unable to bear the attack, he put on a beating posture and said aloofly: "You can go back, but you must remember your identity, be careful in your words and deeds, and don't embarrass the prince's palace. , otherwise don’t blame me for being unkind.”
Rong Yunyun gritted his teeth, swallowed his bad breath, lowered his head and said, "Yes, I will bear in mind the Crown Princess's teachings."
Chiyang looked away, Rong Yunyun said goodbye and left.
After Rong Yunyun left, Chiyang said to the darkness under the eaves: "Go and keep an eye on Rong Yunyun alone. Don't follow her too close. You just need to find out who she met. You don't have to insist on the specific content of the conversation."
A black shadow flew out of the courtyard from under the eaves.
At night, after Li Jingxing returned home, he went straight to Chiyang's yard. When he entered the house, he excitedly shouted: "Yang'er!"
Chiyang saw the uncontrollable expression on his face and asked curiously: "What happy event has happened to His Highness?"
[Did you pick up a gold ingot on the road? 】
Li Jingxing realized that he was a little unsteady at this moment, so he calmed down for a second, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "Today, my father commended me in the court."
Chiyang's mouth twitched: "Congratulations, Your Highness."
[Your child is so lacking in father's love. Just verbal praise will make you happy. 】
Li Jingxing's dissatisfaction was not due to verbal praise, but he was rewarded with a dagger.
"The father gave the dagger that the emperor's grandfather awarded him to Gu."
With that said, he took out a jeweled dagger from his sleeve and showed it to Chiyang.
Why is it said to be jeweled?
Because the scabbard is studded with colorful gems.
Chiyang's eyes lit up and he praised sincerely: "This dagger looks different."
[It’s worth more than gold ingots, not bad! 】
Li Jingxing rolled his eyes at Chiyang, and was confused. He actually compared the royal gift with the yellow and white common things?
Chiyang was confused by his glare and stared back unconvinced.
[Why are you staring? Are your eyes as big as those of your aunt? 】
Li Jingxing glanced at Chiyang's eyes, then recalled his own eyes, silently comparing them in his mind.
Chiyang's eyes are big and round, and his eyes are relatively long. If we just talk about size, Chiyang's eyes are really bigger.
After Li Jingxing came to the conclusion, he felt speechless with himself. He was so naive that he was as big as Chiyang's eyes. He couldn't help but fall into silence and reflect seriously.
After a while, he said with a serious face: "The autumn hunting will be next month. With the virtue of the fourth child, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."
He had an intuition that something was going to happen during the autumn hunting, so he came to check out Chiyang's "voice" in advance to see if anything detrimental to him had happened in his previous life.
If there are, they must be avoided; if not, they cannot be taken lightly.
After all, many things are different in this life compared to the previous life.
In fact, he also wanted to do something, but his father was already very prejudiced and prejudiced against him. Not everything he did should be blamed on him. If he really did something, I'm afraid he would be destroyed without delay. I thought I think it's better to be honest.
Furthermore, the fourth child had spent so much effort to deal with him these few times, but he had not taken advantage of him. In a sense, he had already lost.
The fourth child will one day realize what it means to make too many mistakes!
