Because he was anxious to confirm Lu Yanzhi's life or death, Xiao Li went to Lu's house first. When he came back, he saw that the entire princess's mansion was surrounded.
Hongyue said: "Princess, they are from the Dali Temple!"
Knowing that the princess had returned, the people from the Dali Temple were waiting at the door early.
Xiao Li got down from the ground and hurried forward to greet him.
"Meng Zheng, Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, greets the princess."
Xiao Li frowned as he watched the people coming in and out: "Are you guys going to tear down my mansion?"
Meng Zheng said with a stern face, "Your Highness, I, your humble servant, have been ordered by the Emperor to investigate the assassination of the Prince Consort together with the Eunuch in Charge of Incense."
Meng Zheng handed over the handwritten letter, and Xiao Li glanced at it casually: "Lou Yan is here too?"
As she was speaking, she saw a familiar figure striding towards her from inside. His deep eyebrows and eyes were like a pool of water, staring at her sharply and coldly, but then his eyes drooped when he got closer.
"Meet the princess."
Xiao Li suddenly found his submissive look very interesting, like a wolf that deliberately retracted its claws.
She stretched out her hand and said lazily, "I'm tired, help me in."
Meng Zheng's eyelids jumped and he looked at Xiao Li in surprise. Was this said to Lou Yan?
Princess Xuanyang is so arrogant? She even dares to order the emperor's personal eunuch around?
Especially since this man is Lou Yan, who is famous for his methods of punishment, the princess is too ignorant of her own limitations.
Lou Yan seemed not to have expected her to give such an order, but he hesitated for a moment before extending his elbow.
Xiao Li put his hand on his arm without any hesitation.
Lou Yan supported himself with one hand and put the other hand behind his back, with his head slightly lowered. All he could see were those snow-white, jade-like, slender, and white fingers.
Her hands are slender, as if they have no bones.
But these hands are ruthless when it comes to killing people.
This snow-like white must be extremely beautiful when stained with scarlet blood.
Meng Zheng just watched Lou Yan help Xiao Li in, but he didn't follow them. After all, his work had been completed.
This princess is just like the rumors said, she is becoming more and more arrogant and ignorant.
Meng Zheng was promoted by Prime Minister Lu. He was on the side of the Lu family and had some complaints about the princess. However, he was aware of his own identity and had not thought about helping the young master of the Lu family. What he had to do now was to find out the murderer and give an explanation to the Lu family.
After leaving Meng Zheng's sight, Xiao Li asked, "Investigating the case is the responsibility of the Dali Temple. Why did His Majesty send you here?"
Lou Yan: "The Prince Consort was seriously injured. It is said that he was injured by an unprecedented hidden weapon. His Majesty is very concerned and has sent a servant to monitor the progress."
Xiao Li: "Oh, then you are just supervising."
Lou Yan raised his eyes and glanced at her: "Supervisor, and catch the murderer at the same time. The assassin this time is extremely powerful, and my job is to deal with desperate criminals."
This sounds like it has a deeper meaning.
Xiao Li smiled and said, "Then you are really amazing."
Lou Yan's face was expressionless: "Princess, do you know who your husband has offended?"
Xiao Li shook his head: "I don't know."
She only knew that Lu Yanzhi had offended her, and as for other people, she really didn't know.
Lou Yan looked at her again and asked: "Where was the princess yesterday?"
Xiao Li opened her mouth and said, "I was frightened. I was resting. You don't know that the crazy horse rushed towards me and scared me terribly."
Lou Yan paused. "...I heard that the princess was so brave as to save people on a flying horse."
Xiao Li raised her eyebrows proudly: "That's right, this princess is a first-class rider and very brave. It's a pity that you didn't see it, otherwise you would definitely admire me."
Lou Yan: “…”
Xiao Li held Lou Yan's hand with a little force, his expression unchanged, his eyes slightly raised, and his smile became more charming and cold: "Just send it here, thank you, Eunuch Lou Yan."
Lou Yan's footsteps froze in place, while Xiao Li had already strode forward with his men. His tall and slender back was straight and upright, as if indestructible. This weak chess piece princess had turned into an excellent hunter when no one noticed.
Lou Yan saw Xiao Li, but he didn't say anything.
Xiao Li knew that he saw her, but she was not afraid of him saying it.
But she felt that Lou Yan would not say it. There was no reason, just intuition.
----
The Dali Temple is still investigating the case. They have to come to the crime scene at the Princess Mansion three times a day. Unfortunately, Xiao Li is still at large. It would be strange if they could find out what happened.
Lu Yanzhi's life was saved and he woke up, but his injuries were too serious. He had a fever, inflammation, and fainting. He felt like he was hovering at the door of Hades.
Before Xiao Li, the legitimate wife, could say anything, Chen Pingting came to the door.
"How can you still eat?"
Chen Pingting came in and started questioning him with an angry look on her face, as if Xiao Li had done something unforgivable.
Xiao Li frowned slightly, his appetite was instantly ruined by this man.
"What are you doing here?"
"How dare you ask me this?" Chen Pingting strode over, glaring at him, "The Prince Consort's life is hanging by a thread, and you're turning a blind eye. Do you have any conscience?"
Xiao Li tilted his head slightly and sneered: "You still know that he is my husband? You are so anxious, someone who doesn't know would think she is your husband."
Chen Pingting's expression instantly turned unnatural, but she held on: "Nonsense, are you crazy? I'm talking about you now."
After she finished speaking, she raised her neck proudly and said, "I am ordered by the Queen Mother to go to the Lu family to visit the Prince Consort."
Then, with a look of disgust, she said, "The Prince Consort was seriously injured, yet you ignored him. You are so cold-blooded and indifferent. You are so vicious. I am very angry. I advise you to go to the Lu family immediately to apologize to the Prince Consort, otherwise I will never forgive you."
Xiao Li: "No!"
Chen Pingting: "You dare to disobey the order?"
Xiao Li rolled his eyes at her and said, "The Lu family won't let me in."
Chen Pingting laughed instantly: "Serves you right!"
Xiao Li glanced at her with contempt: "If you could enter the Lu family, you wouldn't have to come to me with the imperial edict, right?"
Chen Pingting stopped smiling and glared at her hatefully: "Come with me to the Lu family right now!"
"I just picked up my chopsticks. I'm not full yet, so I won't go." When Chen Pingting was about to speak, Xiao Li pointed to the door and said, "You go out and wait. I'll go after I'm full. If you make trouble again, I won't let you see Lu Yanzhi tomorrow."
"you......"
Xiao Li slowly picked up some food for himself.
Chen Pingting was so angry. If her status hadn't prevented her from going to the Lu family, she wouldn't have had to come here and suffer such a terrible fate!
"Eat it! I'd rather you die of stuffing!"
After saying that, he strode out and kicked over the stool next to him.
Xiao Li stared at her back, his gaze growing colder.
How could there be such a woman?
She knew clearly that the man was already married, but she still insisted on getting close to him. Not only that, she also blatantly danced in front of the wife.
Shameless.
There are so many men in this world, why do you have to fall for someone else's?
Because of love? If love is like this, then love is too ridiculous and shameless.
