Chapter 59 Playing Hide and Seek
Zhao Youchen left quickly.
Originally, Xiao Qing wanted him to take the crutches to find the person, but Zhao Youchen said that the crutches were too conspicuous. Even now, apart from them, no one knew of the existence of "Li Qinghe". But if someone really wanted to find him, it would cause a lot of trouble later.
Xiao Qing thought it made sense.
However, this means that it will take some effort to convince Li Qinghe of Zhao Youchen's trust.
Outside the city, at the Yujun Pavilion, Zhao Youchen, dressed in plain clothes, walked up to the pavilion, looking around as he thought about the landscape painting.
If the Grand Tutor was using this person to send a message, it would be reasonable for one of the walking sticks to be carved with images of the Yujun Pavilion and a carriage to hint at their intentions. But was the landscape painting on the other walking stick really just to hide the words "Qinghe"?
Thinking of the Grand Tutor, Zhao Youchen felt somewhat uncertain.
A gentle breeze is blowing, and the feeling of summer is gradually approaching.
At first, he was calmly waiting for someone.
If Li Qinghe is nearby, and if he sees someone waiting for him at Yujun Pavilion, he will definitely show himself.
Well, of course, it will take time for Li Qinghe to make this judgment and finally show up.
This process might take a while.
As it turns out, it was indeed a bit long.
Yu Jun Pavilion witnessed countless comings and goings, yet no one lingered before Zhao Youchen.
They might be curious for a moment about who Zhao Youchen was waiting for, but what does that have to do with them?
As the sun moved from its zenith to the west, and was about to set behind the mountains, Zhao Youchen felt he couldn't wait any longer.
They had to get back before the palace closed and report the matter to the young emperor.
So Zhao Youchen left.
He returned to the palace and told Xiao Qing about the matter, also raising questions about the landscape painting on the other side of the gate.
Xiao Qing looked at it for a long time but couldn't see anything special about it, so she reluctantly handed the crutch back to Zhao Youchen.
"General Zhao, is this a rather special place?"
Therefore, Li Qinghe may not be in the scene of seeing off guests from afar, but in the place indicated by the landscape painting?
Zhao Youchen couldn't figure out anything more.
Perhaps Li Qinghe needs more time to make a judgment.
"I will go again first thing tomorrow morning." Before I go this time, I need to make arrangements for the affairs of the Imperial Guard.
Xiao Qing nodded; that was the only way.
She glanced at Zhao Youchen, still wanting him to bring the abductor along.
"General Zhao, perhaps he didn't see anything resembling a token," which is why he didn't appear.
Zhao Youchen clenched his fist against his palm and said, "Your Majesty is right, but it's not good to be too obvious."
What should he do? Zhao Youchen racked his brains.
"Or we should take the abducted child with us."
Zhao Youchen shook his head. This is bad.
The next day, Zhao Youchen went again early in the morning.
However, today is destined to be another fruitless day.
On the third day, Zhao Youchen still went with his crutches wrapped in cloth, trying to convince himself that he was carrying a sword.
However, Li Qinghe still did not appear.
Zhao Youchen felt like a fool.
On the evening of the third day, when he returned to the palace to report, Xiao Qing noticed that his eyes had turned red from staring for too long.
Xiao Qing felt that things couldn't continue like this.
"General Zhao, why don't you let me go?" A sudden inspiration struck her.
"General Zhao, perhaps we also need a carriage, with the door half open, so that I can sit inside. Most importantly, the carriage's location outside Yujun Pavilion needs to be precise."
Zhao Youchen frowned. "Your Majesty, this is a critical time. It's not safe to leave the palace..."
Xiao Qingxin felt a pang of sympathy.
Because she hadn't even warmed her seat, she had already been assassinated twice.
However, Xiao Qing felt that she wouldn't be so unlucky this time.
"General Zhao, who are those people who want to kill me?" Xiao Qing leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Fu Mingyi didn't say it explicitly, but he did mention the Snow Drinking Arrow, saying it came from the royal family.
However, she doesn't know whether her brother in this body is alive or dead. Even if he is alive, instead of seizing the throne and asserting his dominance, he sent people to kill her first.
She felt that this logic was definitely wrong.
And the others who might kill her are members of the royal family...
Emperor Tianhe has had a difficult time producing offspring. At present, the only one who is still alive on the surface is probably the third prince, who is far away in his fiefdom. He seems to be some kind of king.
Sigh, it's no wonder she has a bad memory; people can't really remember things they don't pay attention to.
Xiao Qing always considered himself an ordinary person.
If a throne fell from the sky and landed on her head, she would think she was going to have terrible luck in her next life.
No, being an emperor is not the best fate. It's a life of toil, and only the most unlucky person would be destined for such a life.
Xiao Qing's belief was very firm.
On another note, I heard that the third prince has a leg ailment and is someone who sits all year round and is unable to walk.
Such a person has no chance of ascending the throne.
If one has no chance of ascending the throne, then there is no motivation to cause trouble for the emperor.
Furthermore, the Grand Tutor never mentioned any negative information about this person, indicating that she posed no threat to him—probably zero.
So, where does the danger lie? In other clansmen?
Xiao Qing stroked her chin, wondering if she should check the royal family's genealogy.
However, we'll have to wait until the Grand Tutor returns to discuss this further.
The Grand Tutor was her search engine.
Taifu is her problem community.
Grand Tutor! Just hurry up and deliver the message! Is Li Qinghe coming or not?
Xiao Qing clenched his fist. "I've made up my mind. I'm going myself!"
As for her previous question, it had already drifted far away in her divergent thoughts.
Xiao Qing can be very serious when she's serious, but when she's not serious, she can't even find her own way to go.
Zhao Youchen breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Your Majesty's question is too difficult to answer.
"Your Majesty, this is not advisable." In any case, leaving the palace or the city is not safe for the young emperor.
However, Xiao Qing grabbed Zhao Youchen's sleeve, blinked at him, and her eyes gradually became moist.
this……
This is going to kill me.
"Your Majesty, this is really not appropriate." Safety comes first.
He reached up and grabbed at something, then blinked again.
"Perhaps the Grand Tutor has been hidden by Li Qinghe?"
"His Majesty……"
I grabbed again, blinked again, filled with worry.
"Does the Grand Tutor have some very important news that he must see me, Li Qinghe, before he can speak to me?"
I'm so distressed.
How could His Majesty be so terrible!
Zhao Youchen blushed, stiffened his neck, and began to think of a series of feasible solutions.
"General Zhao..."
Forget it, I'll give up.
"Your Majesty, please obey my orders and never leave my side. Also, will Your Majesty take Ma Hong with you?"
Xiao Qing grinned. "No."
On the fourth day, Zhao Youchen arranged for two squads of imperial guards to be on guard, while one squad mingled with the crowd, and he himself acted as the coachman, driving the carriage out of the city.
If Li Qinghe doesn't show up this time, he'll turn Nanhua City upside down. You'd better hide in a cave if you dare!
Xiao Qing let out a long sigh of relief. On the one hand, she believed in Zhao Youchen's abilities, but on the other hand, she was still a little nervous.
However, since the assassination attempt at the South Training Ground, Xiao Qing has had it too easy.
The matters she raised in the court were all being carried out step by step.
Xiao Qing, clinging to a one in ten thousand chance, was tempted by a pair of crutches to go out for some fresh air.
In her mind, the image of Xiao Chongle's departing figure flashed by, along with the tall, cold palace walls before her.
