Chapter 169 Staring at Each Other
Ling Qingyan returned to the princess's mansion and sent people to continue investigating.
Ling Zhuoan's life or death was uncertain, and she began to worry.
He was just going to Mount Li to get a painting, how could he disappear?
The prince disappeared, shocking the court and the public. Just at this time, a delegation from the State of Wei arrived in Beijing.
When the Wei State delegation arrived in Beijing, the young Regent Prince visited the Princess's Palace first.
He brought five carriages that looked quite luxurious. No one knew what was loaded on them, but they were parked very conspicuously in front of the princess's mansion.
It attracted many people to stop and watch.
The young man was dressed in a snow-blue gold-woven robe, with a jade crown tied high on his head. His eyes were full of spring, and he was waiting at the door of the princess's mansion with a dignified demeanor. He looked energetic and in the prime of his life.
The young man was no longer thin and frail, and his previous humility and forbearance were gone. His every move revealed the aura of a superior. Although he had a smile on his face, ordinary people would never dare to approach him.
Pei Wuyou stared at the gate of the princess's mansion, his heart beating like a drum, looking forward to seeing the girl whom he could only see in his dreams these days.
Sister, he's back.
The door creaked, and Pei Wuyou stood straighter.
The girl looked vaguely the same as he remembered. She was leaning against the door, looking at him with a smile, as bright as the morning sun and as clear as the breeze.
"Sister." The boy opened his mouth and spoke.
Hearing the familiar voice and the familiar name, Ling Qingyan smiled, and said jokingly:
"Hey, isn't this His Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Wei? How come he's here?"
Pei Wuyou pursed his lips, no longer showing the unapproachable look he had just now. His expression was aggrieved, and even his voice softened a bit:
"Sister, I miss you so much."
Ling Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled softly and looked up at the young man who was becoming more and more successful: "Thank you for your hard work along the way."
Pei Wuyou's nose suddenly felt sore.
The winner takes all, and the road to seizing power and usurping the throne is not easy.
Some people feared him, some complimented him, and some called him a lowly dog begging for mercy in Ling State.
However, after hearing the girl's words "thank you for your hard work", it seemed as if all the hardships he had experienced in the past were as light as a feather, and he was far less moved than seeing the girl at this moment.
Pei Wuyou and the gifts he brought to Ling Qingyan were all brought into the princess's mansion.
"What are these things? Why are there five carts?" Ling Qingyan scanned the boxes of things.
Fortunately, she had just moved into the princess's mansion and it was big enough.
Otherwise, where would we put all these boxes?
This just helped her fill her warehouse.
"It's a gift for you, sister." Pei Wuyou said with a smile, "These two carts are rare treasures I found for you in Wei State. I think they will catch your eye."
"This car is filled with jewelry, hairpins and rings, all carefully selected by me. This car is filled with high-quality tea. This one is filled with various tonics, as well as beauty pills and the like."
"Don't worry, sister. I looted all these from the homes of ministers who were against me. They are definitely good things." Pei Wuyou said proudly.
There was a major reshuffle in the Wei court, and he copied a lot of people during those days.
Many of them were given to him voluntarily, and he gave all these good things to his sister.
Ling Qingyan gave him a complicated look, and Pei Wuyou immediately said, "Don't worry, sister, there is no ill-gotten gains. Those who confiscated the property deserve to die."
"Then thank you, His Royal Highness the Regent." Ling Qingyan said with a smile.
"Guests are coming. Your Highness, why didn't you let me call you? It makes me seem so impolite." Cui Huailang suppressed his yawn and walked out with sleepy eyes.
He and Pei Wuyou stared at each other.
Cui Huailang had just fallen asleep when he heard some noise outside in his dream and sat up with a start.
As soon as I went out, I saw another strange young man and girl who looked noble standing together. There were also several guards beside them carrying boxes of various sizes into the warehouse.
But the young man's expression when he saw me appeared was not very good.
Oh, same as the previous ones.
It's just that this young man is even more vicious. His eyes are like a poisonous snake ready to strike at any time, wrapped around him, making people feel cold all over.
Cui Huailang thought that he had probably guessed who this person was.
It was a small scene, and he wasn't one to be frightened. Besides, he had already experienced the prince's neck-choking greetings, so why would he be afraid of him?
At least the person in front of him definitely cannot fight with him in front of Sister Qingxi.
