Chapter 79 Wontons
Author: Remnant Forest Tree
The maid called two or three times before Lin Wan'er came back to her senses.
"Miss, you have been laughing since you came back from Qingmiao. Did you encounter something funny?"
Lin Wan'er thought about it and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just met an interesting person."
The maid followed the words and said with emotion: "It's just other people. I hope that Mr. Fan is also an interesting person and can make the young lady so happy."
Lin Wan'er's smile gradually lost color.
Yes, she is engaged.
Seeing this, the maid tightened her expression and said awkwardly: "I know the young lady is unwilling, but this is a marriage arranged by His Majesty after all. I..."
She hesitated to speak.
But why didn't Lin Wan'er understand what she meant?
His Majesty proposed marriage. Even if she had the intention to disobey, it was not an easy matter.
She is not alone after all.
She has a father, a mother, and a brother who loves her.
She can bear the consequences of disobeying the decree, but she also has to consider her relatives.
At this moment, a figure suddenly got into the carriage quietly, and accompanied by a strong wind, the maid said in response.
Lin Wan'er subconsciously wanted to scream, but her mouth was covered again.
Li Chengqian stretched out his finger and put it in front of his mouth, making a gentle 'shush' sound.
Lin Wan'er looked at the familiar face in front of her in surprise, and an uncontrollable joy surged in her heart.
Li Chengqian let go of his hand, sat next to Lin Wan'er, and breathed a sigh of relief slowly.
Even if he were to sneak into Lin Wan'er's carriage secretly, he would still be taking a huge risk.
That is to say, when the guards were attracted by the movement in front and did not pay much attention to the back, they used some small means to attract the attention of the only two guards behind, and took the opportunity to briefly knock out the coachman for about two breaths.
Time slipped in quickly.
"You are too bold. What will you do if you are discovered?"
Lin Wan'er was afraid of being noticed by outsiders, so she leaned into Li Chengqian's ear and spoke extremely quietly.
There are a lot of internal guards around here. If they are discovered, it is no joke.
Li Chengqian only felt a little itchy in his ears, and a refreshing aroma lingered on the tip of his nose.
He responded in a low voice: "There are some important things I want to tell you. If you don't like it, then I will leave."
With that said, he made a gesture to leave.
Lin Wan'er uttered an ouch, became anxious, and grabbed Li Chengqian's arm.
Seeing Li Chengqian turning around and looking at her quietly, she couldn't help but blush again, but she didn't loosen her hand at all.
Li Chengqian smiled, this trick of playing hard to get was successful!
He sat down and leaned closer to Lin Wan'er, the two of them were almost touching each other.
Lin Wan'er was obviously a little nervous, but she didn't show any resistance.
For a moment, the two fell into silence.
Li Chengqian felt that Lin Wan'er seemed to have the power to heal people's hearts. Just staying with her quietly made him feel inexplicably peaceful and warm.
Lin Wan'er also felt that as long as Li Chengqian was by her side, she couldn't help but feel a sense of security. She just felt that there was nothing wrong with just sitting there and being afraid.
However, thinking of the current situation, after a moment, she still asked in a low voice: "You just said you wanted to tell me something important. What was it?"
Li Chengqian looked at her bright eyes and said softly: "I know a little bit about medical skills, but that Qi can only temporarily suppress your lung disease, but it cannot cure the root cause. Judging from your clear appearance, you must not see much light on weekdays.
Eating and drinking too much is bland food. If you want to prevent the lung disease from getting worse, you should not do this. You should open the windows for ventilation on weekdays, bask in the sun when you are leisurely, and eat more eggs, milk and meaty foods, such as
As for the chicken legs, if you have an appetite, you can eat more on weekdays."
Hearing this, what Lin Wan'er was thinking about at this moment was not to cure the disease, but to think that Li Chengqian had taken such a big risk just to give her these instructions, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.
Just looking at Li Chengqian's handsome face, I was infatuated for a moment.
At this time, the carriage moved forward slowly and stopped again when it reached a certain alley.
Because Emperor Qing suddenly became interested and wanted to eat a bowl of street wontons.
Gong Dian carefully held the bowl of steaming wontons and handed it to the edge of the carriage window.
In the car, Emperor Qing took it casually and stirred the soup with a spoon while asking seemingly casually: "Who is that young man?"
Gong Dian hesitated for a moment and said, "It must be the illegitimate son of the Minister of Household Affairs in Danzhou. His name seems to be Fan Xian."
Fan Xian just arrived in Kyoto today. Logically speaking, he shouldn't know Fan Xian's identity, but he knows, which can only explain one problem. Before that, he had investigated or knew about Fan Xian's existence.
But as the commander of the Imperial Guards, he shouldn't pay any attention to an illegitimate child who came from Danzhou.
Unless someone told him, or in other words, someone let him pay attention to Fan Xian in advance.
Such people are either rich or noble, and there are not many in the entire Qing Kingdom.
As for Fan Xian's major event, it is nothing more than the marriage grant that has caused a lot of fuss recently.
So the first person to bear the brunt is naturally Li Yunrui.
Of course, because Li Yunrui was very close to the prince and always regarded himself as a princeling, so besides Li Yunrui, who told him about this matter, the prince's suspicion could not be escaped.
When Emperor Qing asked this question, Gong Dian did not hide the fact that he knew Fan Xian's identity, because he knew from the previous father-in-law that His Majesty had actually made arrangements for today's events, although there were some surprises.
, but if he pretends not to know, he will be suspected of deceiving the emperor.
Therefore, he must tell the truth.
Emperor Qing took a bite of the wontons in his hand and said, "Tell me about it."
However, Emperor Qing's seemingly casual words made Gong Dian become nervous.
He lowered his head and bent his body slightly, saying: "The sudden appearance of the young man today is not accidental, it should be His Majesty's arrangement."
Emperor Qing looked a little surprised and asked, "Why should I make arrangements?"
As he said that, he took another bite of wontons. Needless to say, they tasted pretty good.
Gong Dian bent over and said in a hesitant tone: "My lord, I don't dare to speculate on the Holy Will."
In this regard, Emperor Qing only said one word.
"explain."
A simple word, but Gongdian had no right to refuse.
Gong Dian paused slightly and said, "Your Majesty wants to take a look at him."
Of course, there was one thing he didn't say. The eldest princess obviously disapproved of the marriage. Today, His Majesty suddenly brought Lin Wan'er, one of the heroines who gave the marriage, to the Qing Temple to offer incense. Fan Xian broke into the Qing Temple at the right time.
.
Thinking about it, the male and female protagonists of the marriage must have already met in that side hall.
If he said this was a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it.
In fact, he had come to his senses and thought that those guards who were brought down were probably his Majesty's handiwork.
No wonder His Majesty did not agree to his request for a thorough investigation of the Imperial Guard.
Since it comes from His Majesty's instructions, a thorough investigation is naturally just a joke.
Emperor Qing did not comment on Gong Dian's words, pointed in the direction of the city gate, and asked: "Who do you think was the one who used the maids to ruin his reputation on the way into the city? Who do you think was the one who made all the maids disappear later?
who?"
Gong Dian's scalp was slightly numb, and he replied with some lack of confidence: "I don't know, sir."
