There are too many people who want him to die, but he insists on living.
——
Although Ren Southeast and Lao Lu were awake now, they were so weak that they could only lie in bed and slowly replenish their energy.
Ji Changying would come over to see them every day and bring them some things to replenish their health.
When they came out after visiting them, snowflakes started to fall outside.
Just as he was about to leave the Criminal Investigation Department, he bumped into Zhong Lizhou who was coming in.
Seeing her, Zhong Lizhou didn't have any surprise on his face: "I knew you were here!"
Seeing Zhong Lizhou again, the expression on Ji Changying's face was much more complicated.
After going around in circles, Zhong Lizhou turned out to be her cousin!
Seeing the expression on her face, Zhong Lizhou's smile froze for a moment, and he frowned and looked at her in confusion: "What kind of expression are you looking at? When meeting an old friend, you should at least be surprised or react happily?"
"Didn't I react? Hehehe..."
Ji Changying laughed dryly and put on a smile.
Zhong Lizhou was in a good mood and didn't notice her strangeness: "I just found out that you were here today and that my cousin was here too, so I came here! It's rare for us cousins to get together, let's go! Let's have a meal together meal!"
Zhong Lizhou pulled her back in without any explanation. He excitedly found someone to find out Xie Siheng's location and broke into Xie Siheng's residence.
"cousin!"
Zhong Lizhou opened the door directly. Xie Siheng, who was behind the screen, did not expect that someone would suddenly break in. He quickly stood up and wrapped himself in clean clothes.
"Cousin, I came here to see you as soon as I arrived in Beijing. I happen to be here today. Let's go out and have a good time?"
Zhong Lizhou came behind the screen and was a little shocked when he saw Xie Siheng's body covered with moisture.
Ji Changying was also stunned.
The water droplets on Xie Siheng's head flowed down drop by drop along his hair. The thin layer of underwear was soaked, and the texture of his chest muscles was vaguely exposed. His whole body was white and rosy, with some He was embarrassed and looked like he could easily be bullied.
Ji Changying couldn't help but swallowed. Xie Siheng looked up and his head exploded with a buzzing sound: "Zhong Lizhou! What are you doing?!"
Zhong Lizhou followed his gaze and turned to look over. Then he suddenly realized what he was doing. He raised his hand to cover Ji Changying's eyes and pulled her back: "We'll wait for you outside!"
Xie Siheng didn't keep them waiting for too long and walked out quickly.
His expression had returned to calmness, but the look he looked at the two of them was completely unfamiliar: "Is something wrong?"
"It's rare for the three of us to get together, let's go to dinner together! I booked a private room in Baihe Tower and am waiting for us to go there!"
Zhong Lizhou looked very happy and enthusiastically invited Xie Siheng to come with him.
"No, I have business to do later."
"I know you are a busy person! I won't delay you for too long. You have to eat later anyway. Isn't it different to eat with us?"
Xie Siheng stood there without moving: "You go ahead."
Zhong Lizhou saw the decisiveness of his words, and the smile on his face faded a little. He frowned and looked at his cousin who seemed to have become colder after not seeing him for a long time, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"A lot of things have happened in the capital during this period. Mr. Xie has been entrusted with important tasks by the emperor. You think you are just an idler like me! Let's go, I'm a little hungry."
Ji Changying pulled Zhong Lizhou, smiled at Xie Siheng, turned around and walked out.
Hearing Ji Changying's words, a flash of realization flashed in Zhong Lizhou's eyes: "Then I'll come back another day!"
Seeing the two people walking out while talking and laughing, Xie Siheng said in one direction: "Still not coming out yet?!"
Shadow Er shrank his head and stood up.
"I asked you to guard this place, but you let the people in without permission and went down to receive twenty lashes yourself!"
Ying Er muttered in a low voice: "I knew you were in a bad mood, so I let the crown prince and the princess in. Who knew you even rejected these two people? I don't know what you were thinking..."
Xie Siheng stared at him, his eyes full of coldness: "Next time you make your own decisions, just change your master!"
Ying Er's face suddenly turned pale: "I don't dare! I will go and receive the punishment."
Chuan Qiong couldn't bear it: "Sir, if you are in a bad mood, maybe you will feel better if you have a meal with Princess Shizi? Ying Er is also doing it for your own good..."
"Needless to say, I am different from them."
Xie Siheng turned around and went back to the room, not wanting to hear any more.
His future is destined to be full of thorns. No matter what end he ends up with, he deserves it, and he should no longer be involved with others.
——
As soon as the two of them arrived in the private room of Baihe Tower, Zhong Lizhou poured them a cup of tea, and then asked Ji Changying with an inquiring look on his face: "I have heard a little bit about the recent events in Beijing. Can you please tell me carefully? "
For a moment, Ji Changying didn't know where to start, especially about Prince Ping's life experience.
The two people in the palace didn't say anything, and it was hard for her to break the situation now.
But thinking about how Zhong Lizhou knew her mother's life experience and didn't tell her immediately, Ji Changying felt confident again.
If she didn't say anything, it wouldn't be a big problem.
So she carefully told what happened in Beijing during this period. Zhong Lizhou was sometimes surprised and sometimes frowned: "Then Hui Ji hasn't been caught yet?"
"Well, on the surface, the people from the Criminal Investigation Department have turned the capital upside down and no one has been found. His Majesty secretly ordered people to search for him, but they couldn't find him."
"Is it possible that he has left the capital? But where can he go?" Zhong Lizhou was thinking while drinking tea.
"Who said this? That monk has lived for who knows how many years. He is cunning and has good medicine skills. He also has Gu insects in his hands, and his eyes still have double pupils. It seems like one look can suck people in, there are so many tricks.”
Hearing this, Zhong Lizhou looked at her carefully: "How is your health now?"
"I'm already fine. As long as I don't fall prey to his poison, it won't be a big problem. You should be more careful when you meet him in the future. That person is a bit evil."
It is indeed very evil!
Zhong Lizhou frowned just listening to these methods.
"Okay! Let's not talk about these heavy things. In a few days, His Majesty will choose a wife for you. How do you do? Do you have anyone you like?"
The news has now spread all over the capital, and ladies from various families are already eagerly waiting to enter. Even the Zhenbao Pavilion and ready-to-wear shops have been extremely busy in the past few days.
Even Gou Fugui came to ask her several times if she needed to buy some outfit for the banquet.
Speaking of this, Zhong Lizhou couldn't laugh anymore.
Princess Ping was worried that there would be no one in Beijing to look after her, and when the time came, the other princes would randomly send someone over and ask him to simply choose one from the circle in Liangzhou.
His father wants him to find someone he likes, so that he can live comfortably in the future and the two of them can live together for a long time.
