Hua Lao

Shen Luo's calmness made Xie Yunsheng feel a little abnormal: in her previous life, she had always wanted to check the officials of the DPRK and China. Why did she look so uninterested when she started checking now?

Su Xiang's calmness and Shen Luo's calmness made Xie Yunsheng more suspicious in his heart, and he said: "Su Xiang, please step aside first."

He was already investigating Su Xiang's past. What he should investigate now was Li Ao, who had conquered the country together with his father.

"Your Majesty, please retire." Su Xiang kowtowed, then stood up and left.

After Su Xiang left, Xie Yunsheng's eyes fell on Li Ao. Li Ao slowly knelt down and said, "Your Highness."

Xie Yunsheng said: "Teacher, get up and talk!"

Li Ao did not stand up, but still knelt straight on the spot: "Your Highness left the old minister for the last question to save the old minister's last face, and the old minister also chose to tell the truth."

"It's okay to say it, Mr. Li." Xie Yunsheng said, quietly pouring a cup of tea and pushing it to Shen Luo's left hand side.

Li Ao was silent in his own consciousness and did not notice what had just happened. He spoke cautiously: "Before I followed Your Majesty, I was married in my hometown of Dingyuan, Haozhou. There were frequent wars in those years, and I was separated from my first wife. Later, I The old minister has sent people back to his hometown many times to search, but found nothing."

"Lao Chen's first wife is just an ordinary country woman, and she speaks in a rough voice, but she can always wake up Wei Chen at critical moments. Without her, Lao Chen would not be what he is today."

"The old minister is the prime minister, but the whereabouts of his first wife are unknown. The old minister has no face to face his first wife, so he keeps silent about the matter." Li Ao's eyes were full of guilt, the corners of his eyes were red, there were tears in his eyes but they did not fall, and there was a hint of happiness and longing in the corners of his lips. There is also guilt and regret.

Before Xie Yunsheng could speak, Shen Luo was the first to speak: "Do you have a portrait of your lady?"

Li Ao immediately raised his eyes and replied: "I have a portrait of my wife, but after twenty-five years, her appearance has changed. What does it matter if I remember what she looks like?"

Shen Luo picked up the tea cup with his left hand and took a sip, and replied calmly: "If you can remember Madam Ling's appearance, I can draw a picture of Madam Ling's current appearance!"

Li Ao's eyes were full of shock, with a look of astonishment on his face: "I have lived for almost fifty years and have never heard of such a strange thing."

Although he said this, Li Ao still took off the brocade bag from his waist, took out an embroidered picture and handed it to Shen Luo: "Sir, this is a portrait of Madam when she married me. She was seventeen years old at that time. Lao Chen always puts it on himself."

Shen Luo took the little prime minister from Li Ao's hand, looked at Xie Yunsheng aside, and said softly: "Your Highness, can you borrow a pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo with a calm face and said softly: "I will take you to the study."

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards Tingyu Pavilion. Shen Luo followed him without any surprise.

Li Ao stared blankly at the two people leaving: "Isn't it true that outsiders are not allowed to enter His Highness the Crown Prince's study?"

The person who broke into Tingyuxuan last time has been sent to the palace by His Majesty the Crown Prince to serve His Majesty!

Today, how could it be

Tingyuxuan

Xie Yunsheng studied the ink for Shen Luo. Shen Luo dipped in the ink and looked at the portrait of Mrs. Li Ao before picking up the brush to paint.

Xie Yunsheng looked at Shen Luo who was painting seriously, with a soft light in his eyes, forgetting that he was studying ink: "Who did you learn your painting skills from?"

"I've never heard of anyone being able to paint old people." He asked softly, fearing to disturb Shen Luo's painting.

Although Shen Luo didn't feel a little surprised, she still didn't stop painting. Instead, she asked softly: "Didn't you ever suspect that what I told was a lie?"

Xie Yunsheng smiled tenderly and said softly: "I know you won't tell lies, and I believe you will do what you say."

Shen Luo finally stopped writing, looked at Xie Yunsheng, and asked softly: "Why do you believe me."

"No reason? I just believe that you won't lie to me." Xie Yunsheng lowered his eyes and continued to study ink, with a smile on his lips.

Although he didn't know that Shen Luo could age in his previous life, he just believed that she would do what she said.

Shen Luo slowly withdrew his gaze and continued painting, but his heart had already calmed down, as if a warm wind suddenly hit the calm lake surface, causing ripples.

Xie Yunsheng stopped and saw that a woman had been painted on her right. The woman had similarities with the eyes and eyebrows of the little prime minister presented by Li Ao. What made him even more curious was that Shen Luo was still painting.

Xie Yunsheng stared at the tip of Shen Luo's pen intently. The strokes were smooth and natural without any pause. Gradually, a familiar face appeared on the paper: "This is Prime Minister Li."

What Luoer painted was Prime Minister Li in his youth.

"I didn't expect that you could draw not only old people but also young ones." He couldn't help but marvel at it.

Shen Luo put away the pen, put it on the pen holder of Shanshui Moyan, and said softly: "Skeletons will continue to change with people's age, but they never change away from their origins."

"Painting old, painting small, it's very similar to a Taoist man who touches bones and tells fortunes, so it's nothing special." Shen Luo said softly, not proud of his talent.

Xie Yunsheng picked up the portrait: "You are too self-effacing."

"Come on, let's show it to Prime Minister Li." After saying that, he held her black iron wristband and walked towards the main hall.

Shen Luo looked at Xie Yunsheng's hand holding his black iron wrist guard in shock: How could he hold his hand so calmly?

Li Ao looked at the two portraits in front of him and was shocked and incoherent: the young man in the portrait was clearly his young self.

Although the woman in the painting is old, the expression and posture of her eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as the lady's.

"Thank you, thank you, sir." Li Ao was so excited that he couldn't speak and could only thank him.

With this picture you can find the lady!

However, Shen Luo reminded: "Master, don't be happy too early. You have never found Mrs. Ling in so many years, so you have never thought that Mrs. Ling may have married someone else."

Li Ao was confused for a moment, and then he was as firm as before: "No, my wife and I are deeply in love, and she will never marry another woman. I will send someone to look for her again. As long as she is alive, I will definitely find her."

Xie Yunsheng said: "Teacher, don't be anxious, Gu Ke will send more people to find your master's wife for you."

Shen Luo said, "If you believe that Madam will wait for you, why not spread the word and let the officials from all over the country come forward to search for you."

"However, if we find your lady, depending on your temperament, the Prime Minister will probably be beaten." Shen Luo reminded her again.

"As long as I can find my wife, I will be willing to have my ears broken." As he said this, Li Ao forgot to kneel and ran out of Akihito Palace, eager to find the whereabouts of his wife.

After Li Ao left, Shen Luo looked back at Xie Yunsheng and asked: "Your Highness, what Prime Minister Li said is the truth, but what Prime Minister Su said may not be the truth."

Seeing her saying such things, Xie Yunsheng became more and more determined that the person Shen Luo wanted to investigate in his previous life was Su Xiang. He immediately said, "I have never believed what he said. I have already sent someone to investigate secretly."

"Your Highness is wise!" When Shen Luo heard Xie Yunsheng say this, a trace of relief flashed in her eyes, and then she clasped her fists: "I have to resign in advance."

Vote, babies, I want a vote.
