The two children who had finally been brought back were lost. The people of Chu State would not give up. They immediately searched the Prince Xi's Mansion and finally found the inconspicuous back door.
Li Tianyang stood in front of the back door, pointed at the pile of weeds, and asked Leng Xi:
"What on earth is going on? How many people here know?"
Leng Xi pretended not to know and shrugged, "I don't even know here, and the servants probably won't know either."
"This is your home, you don't know?"
Li Tianyang turned around, looked at him with questioning eyes, and continued to question sternly:
"You have to give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise I won't let it go."
Hearing this, Leng Xi, who was already a little angry, looked back at him with a cold face, and said with deep hatred in his eyes:
"Should I give you an explanation? You secretly tied two children to Prince Xi's Mansion. I haven't asked you what you want to do, but you turned around and questioned me?"
"I don't need to tell you what I do. You just need to cooperate with me. This is what you said when you agreed to cooperate with us."
Seeing this, Leng Xi shrugged with raised eyes.
"In this case, if you lose someone, it has nothing to do with me. I'm very busy. You can slowly find the reason."
After leaving these words, he turned around freely and walked away quickly, leaving only the angry Li Tianyang standing there shaking his sleeves and roaring,
"Chong'er, go inform Concubine Li..."
He must find out this matter.
Leng Xi walked hurriedly until he came to his study room, where he felt more at ease.
He was not afraid that Li Tianyang would find out that he was the one who sent the person out of the house, because no one saw it at the time, and they couldn't find out at all.
He was worried that the child named An An would tell the story. If so, all his efforts would be over.
That little girl is really too smart and weird...
Thinking of this, an evil idea came to his mind. That little girl must be dealt with, otherwise, she will be like a landmine, which will explode at any time, blowing everything he has worked hard to build to pieces. .
There is no poison and no husband, and those who do great things must be ruthless.
He used these words to warn himself again.
…
Concubine Li came to Prince Xi's Mansion as soon as she got the news. She and Li Tianyang talked for a long time in the main hall of Prince Xi's Mansion. No one knew what they said specifically.
After Li Tianyang left, Concubine Li ordered someone to call Leng Xi in front of her.
She looked at Leng Xi, with a complicated look deep in her eyes.
Leng Xi stood in front of her and asked casually:
"My mother is eager to come to Prince Xi's Mansion. What did Li Tianyang say to you?"
Seeing him mention this matter, Li Fei looked at him coldly and asked sternly:
"I heard that the hostages that the people of Chu State worked so hard to obtain were lost in your Prince Xi's Mansion?"
"They didn't take it seriously. What does it have to do with me? Why do they come to ask me?"
"But the person was lost in your Prince Xi's Mansion, and the woodshed had a back door. Not many people in the manor knew about it. Although the Chu people did not completely suspect you, I also know that this must be the case. Did you do the right thing?"
Leng Xi didn't expect that Li Fei would guess so accurately.
He nodded without any secret,
"Yes, I did it. Why should two children be involved in a war between adults? This kind of behavior makes me feel shameless."
"Xier..."
Li Fei suddenly raised her voice and asked angrily,
"They are from Prince Yu's Mansion. Don't you know what it means to eliminate the roots? If you let them go now, you will regret it when they come to see you with a knife in the future."
Meet with a knife?
These four words made Leng Xi shiver.
Now he is going to have a life-and-death fight with his brother. Will he have to fight his nephews and nieces with swords in the future? This is a really sad thing.
Seeing him thinking about something, Li Fei stood up from the chair, came to him, and whispered:
"Xi'er, you must not admit to the people of Chu that you secretly released these two children. If they know that you did it, they will not trust you in the future. So before you do anything in the future, you must Think through it and don't act out of loyalty and miss important things. Now is the critical time to deal with Leng Yu, we can't be careless."
"I see."
Leng Xi lowered his head and responded to Li Fei's words, but he was actually thinking about another thing.
That child seemed to be the biggest hidden danger in his mind at this time. Although he knew that he should not have such sinful thoughts, for the sake of his own future, he must not sacrifice for the small.
…
After returning to Prince Yu's Mansion from the palace, Huaiyu and An An told Luo one after another how they were caught by bad guys while watching a monkey show, then locked up in a woodshed, and finally rescued by an uncle. Lan Ting.
Luo Lan was frightened when she heard this, especially when she heard them say that the night they spent in the woodshed was terrible, with rats infested and strange noises coming from there.
Luo Lan hugged the two children tightly and comforted her heartache:
"My mother will be by your side to protect you from now on, and I will never let something like this happen again."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a noise outside. Then, Xiao Lingzi took Fang Qiu's arm and came to Luo Lan, pulled her sleeve directly and said in a cold voice:
"Quickly, kowtow to the princess and the young master and admit your mistake."
Fang Qiu stood there with his mouth pouted, looking unwilling.
Seeing this scene, Luo Lan asked in confusion:
"General Ling, what are you doing?"
Xiao Lingzi knelt down on one knee, cupped his fist apologetically and said:
"Princess, on the day when the young lady and the young master were lost, if Fang Qiu hadn't been there to stop me, Zhang Yuan and I wouldn't have been distracted. Then maybe the young lady and the young master would not have been lost, so I brought her to you. The confession has come, please punish me.”
"Why should you blame me? I didn't know what was going on at the time."
When Fang Qiu saw Xiao Lingzi passing the responsibility to her, she was instantly unhappy. She looked at Xiao Lingzi with a dark face and asked sternly:
"You didn't say what you were doing there at the time. I just thought you were slacking off there. You can't blame me for this."
After saying this, she looked up at Luo Lan and said seriously:
"Princess, he has been quarreling with me for several days because of this matter, and he almost beat me, but I really can't be blamed for this matter. I didn't expect that they were protecting the young master and the young lady, otherwise I wouldn't dare to beat him to death. Go and stop them! You have to make the decision for me."
Fang Qiu's words were reasonable, and Luo Lan frowned. She would order someone to investigate this matter, but the person who should be investigated was the person who locked up An An and Huaiyu, not Fang Qiu.
She also felt that Fang Qiu, who had always been carefree, was telling the truth. If she had known that the matter would be so serious, she would not have dared to do this.
At this moment, A Gang came to announce,
"Princess, Prince Xi is here. He said he has something important to ask you?"
