Chapter 122 I Know Him!

A soft and pleasant voice sounded behind me.

Lou Changqing turned around in response.

Under the moonlight, the boy had strong features, a high and straight nose, and thin lips slightly pursed.

When he didn't speak, he exuded a strong murderous aura that made people shudder.

But when Lou Changqing's eyes fell on Liao Changning in front of him, his eyes suddenly became very gentle.

Lou Changqing pursed his lips, his voice sounding a little dry.

"Are you really going to Mei County?"

Out of selfish motives, he didn't want her to go to Mei County.

The disease was rampant there, and it was too dangerous.

He was really worried about her.

But he also knew that she wouldn't listen to him.

He knew her very well. Chang Ning only appeared weak on the outside, but once she made up her mind, no matter who said anything, it would be useless.

Liao Changning nodded slightly.

Lou Changqing sighed, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Shunshun asked me to bring this to you."

Liao Changning frowned slightly, a little surprised, "The Fifth Princess gave it to me?"

She took the envelope from Lou Changqing, opened it, and took out the letter inside.

There were large, crooked characters on the paper, but every word was clearly readable.

[You will have a fever, then vomit, vomit until you are exhausted, and you will not be able to eat anything. In the end, you will starve to death.]

After reading it, Liao Changning raised his hand in surprise and covered his lips.

"Is this, is this a symptom of the plague...?"

Lou Changqing hummed, "Shunshun said that you will know what is going on at a glance."

Liao Changning's eyes widened.

"But how did the Fifth Princess know this?"

Lou Changqing chuckled, "Sui Sui is like this, always knowing a lot about us that even we don't know."

Liao Changning nodded thoughtfully.

The fifth princess is indeed very different from ordinary children.

She carefully closed the letter and put it away. She opened the envelope again and found that there was something else inside.

Liao Changning frowned slightly, opened the envelope as wide as possible, and found that there seemed to be a piece of cloth inside.

She took out the cloth and found that it seemed different from ordinary cloth.

The piece of cloth was of varying widths, with two thin ropes sewn on the sides and elastic bands sewn on the top and bottom.

Liao Changning raised his eyes and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Lou Changqing's eyes were filled with smiles.

"This was made by Sui Sui. It seems to be called a mask. It can prevent the spread of diseases."

"The two strings are tied to the ears, and they can cover the nose and mouth when worn."

Liao Changning tried to put it on, but couldn't get it right.

Lou Changqing couldn't help laughing as he watched, and went forward to help.

He walked in front of Liao Changning, his broad body completely covering her slender figure.

Lou Changqing pinched the thin rope with his fingertips and easily hung it on Liao Changning's ear, and his fingertips brushed her ear.

He lowered his eyes and saw her long, curly eyelashes trembling slightly, and his heart suddenly began to beat like a drum again.

Liao Changning couldn't help but hold his breath at this time.

Her breath was now filled with his scent, and her ears could still feel the burning warmth of his fingertips.

Liao Changning subconsciously took a step back.

The two distanced themselves.

Liao Changning lowered his head and tucked the long hair behind his ears.

She pursed her lips and said, "The Fifth Princess is really smart. She can actually come up with such a method."

Lou Changqing also realized that his behavior just now was inappropriate and immediately nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Lou Changqing turned and left.

Looking at his gradually receding back, Liao Changning drooped his eyelashes slightly.

In the past two years, after Lou Changqing came back from military training, he would come to her place to help with work and talk to her.

He doesn't have the airs of a great general or a lord of faith.

He would not use his power to oppress her and make her submit to him, but would respect her very much.

Lou Changqing, he is really a very good person.

Liao Changning sighed and agreed to his request after she had done what she wanted to do...

At night, Bihua Palace.

Shangguan Lin, as usual, finished his government affairs and then came to have dinner with Concubine Chen and Shangguan Sui.

The three of them were drinking sweet soup together after finishing their dinner.

Qingping came in to report at this time, holding a wooden tray in her hand.

"My lady, this is the red jade cream sent by the Queen Mother. One box is for you and one box is for the princess."

The Concubine Chen took a glance at it and said softly, "Since it was sent by the Queen Mother, please accept it and put it away. Put the princess's portion on her desk."

Qingping nodded and walked into the hall carrying the wooden plate.

She placed the one with pictures of flowers, birds and fish on Shangguan Sui's dressing table.

After Shangguan Lin finished drinking the sweet soup, he thought of what the Queen Mother had said to him today and couldn't help but sigh.

"Today I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, and she asked about Li'er's marriage again."

"Two years ago, Li'er was betrothed to the number one scholar, but he turned out to be a treacherous man. Li'er broke off the engagement with him, and the marriage was delayed."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Chen also put down the jade spoon in her hand.

"The Second Princess is already 19 years old this year, so we really need to consider her more."

The concubine Chen turned her eyes and her brows suddenly moved slightly.

"I did hear Madam Defei talk about something when I was chatting with her before."

Shangguan Lin frowned in confusion. "De Fei? What did she tell you?"

Shangguan Sui also stopped eating the cake and looked up at Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen pursed her lips and said, "This happened a long time ago. The second princess' mother, Concubine Mei, had a close friend who married the current Minister of Works, Lord Li."

"When Meipin was pregnant, she often chatted with Madam Li, who was also pregnant at the time, and joked about arranging a baby marriage."

"Defei was present at the time, and Meipin and Madam Li even exchanged jade pendants, but Meipin died later and the matter was left unresolved."

Shangguan Lin's brows twitched slightly when he heard this.

"Li Qing, the Minister of Works? He does have two sons. The eldest is Li Jingzhen and the second is Li Huaizhi. They will both take the imperial examination soon."

When Shangguan Sui heard the name, his eyes suddenly lit up.

[Li Huaizhi? I know him! ]

[He is a very nice and talented person. He later became good friends with Xiao Ziyuan.]

Shangguan Lin heard the inner voice and instantly became interested.

It seems that this Li Huaizhi is really good.

Then we can arrange for him to meet Li'er.

Shangguan Lin made up his mind and felt much better. He picked up the jade cup and drank two more bowls of sweet soup.

After dinner, Shangguan Lin returned to his study to continue handling government affairs.

The Concubine Chen played with Shangguan Sui for a while.

Before it got completely dark, Shangguan Sui began to yawn uncontrollably.

The concubine smiled helplessly.

Suishun is a child who loves to eat and sleep.

She turned around and told Qingping to take Guansui to wash up first.

Soon, Shangguan Sui finished washing up and sat in front of the dressing table.

Qingping took off the little hairpin tied on her head from behind.

She looked at the dazed Shangguan Sui and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Princess, would you like to try the Ruby Cream that the Queen Mother gave you today?"

Shangguan Sui turned his head and looked at the dressing table, where he saw pictures of flowers, birds and fish, which looked very beautiful.

He couldn't help but become interested and immediately opened the jade box.
