Li Qi went to Lu Jinshuang to explain her purpose. She sat on a chair and said calmly, "Why do you think I will help you?"
This woman's face is really like autumn clouds, changing at any time.
Li Qidao: "I said we can be friends. Since we are friends, we can naturally help each other. If you help me this time, I can promise to help you find the "Shengshu"."
Lu Jinshuang frowned slightly.
Li Qi continued: "Although I don't know what your real purpose is in staying in the palace, if you can get the "Shengshu", you can definitely give an explanation to Concubine Lu, right?"
Lu Jinshuang rolled her eyes and said, "When can you give me "Shengshu"?"
Li Qi said nonsense: "You also know that I have sent people to investigate the whereabouts of "Shengshu". As long as you give me some time, the book will be handed over to you sooner or later."
Lu Jinshuang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I will help you once. I hope you won't break your promise."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I can break my trust with anyone, but I will never break my trust with you."
Lu Jinshuang rolled her eyes at him. After a while, she called a palace maid and asked the palace maid to prepare a set of eunuch clothes for Li Qi to change into.
"Although I don't know why you want to stay in the palace overnight, I still advise you. This is the palace. The closer it gets to night, the tighter the security. If you run around and cause any trouble, don't say I can't protect you.
You, even the prince may not be able to protect you." Lu Jinshuang said coldly.
Li Qi laughed and said: "I know, don't worry, I will never cause you any trouble."
After changing into eunuch clothes, Li Qi stayed in the princess's palace, looking around here and there.
At night, Lu Jinshuang arranged for him to move to a utility room so that he could take care of himself.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Qi knew that he had to go to Concubine Dou to meet Bai Mengxuan.
He had already thought about how to get there. He just wanted Lu Jinshuang to take him there.
Since she is a crown princess, no one will bother her when entering or leaving the harem.
He didn't tell Lu Jinshuang about this during the day because he was afraid that she wouldn't agree. Now that he stayed in the palace, he had to agree even if she didn't want to.
Li Qi found the wing room where Lu Jinshuang lived. Seeing that there was no one at the door, he walked over. When he was about to knock on the door, he heard the sound of running water.
Then, Li Qi hesitated and pierced the paper window with his finger.
I looked over and saw that the garden was full of spring scenery.
He couldn't help but swallowed. Before he could admire it for a long time, a eunuch's voice suddenly sounded: "The prince has arrived."
Hearing these words, Li Qi was startled. Before he could react, he saw several lanterns appearing not far away.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qian walked over here with the support of a group of people.
It was too late to run away, Li Qi simply knelt down on the ground and pressed his whole face to the ground, for fear of being recognized.
But the good thing is that no one cares about him.
He only heard the sound of footsteps stopping at the door. Li Qi slowly raised his eyes and saw the prince's boots.
Then Jiang Qian suddenly opened the door and walked in. The others also stood guard at the door.
"Are you new here?" A familiar voice sounded in front of Li Qi, "Raise your head and let me take a look."
This voice was very familiar to Li Qi. It was Zhao Fu, the eunuch beside the prince.
He is also the eunuch supervisor of the East Palace, and all the eunuchs and maids in the East Palace are under his supervision.
"I asked you to raise your head, didn't you hear me?" Zhao Fu said with some displeasure.
Li Qi had no choice but to slowly raise his head and make eye contact. Zhao Fu suddenly froze.
His eyes widened and he looked at Li Qi in disbelief.
Just as Zhao Fugang was about to say something, Li Qi quickly stood up and said, "I have met Eunuch Zhao."
After saying that, he dragged Zhao Fu aside.
Others were a little confused when they saw this, but fortunately Zhao Fu did not resist, so no one dared to ask any more questions.
When he came to the corner and saw no one around, Zhao Fu said: "Li Shidu, how could you..."
Without saying anything, Li Qi took out a banknote and stuffed it in. It was more than a thousand taels at least.
"Eunuch Zhao, it's hard to say anything. You must keep this matter a secret for me..."
"What happened?" Zhao Fu asked as he took the banknote.
"During the day, I drank the wine given by the empress at Concubine Dou's house. As a result, I felt a little dizzy. I thought about going back to the East Palace to rest, but I fell asleep in a utility room. When I woke up, I saw
It was getting late, and the palace gate must have been closed... I had no other choice, so I changed into these clothes." Li Qi said nonchalantly.
Zhao Fu sighed and said: "Li Shidu, drinking makes things worse. Last time you drank too much and didn't leave the palace. This time..."
"Eunuch Zhao, you are the only one who can help me now." Li Qi said with a helpless and pitiful look.
Zhao Fu said: "Just stay with me for a while. When the prince comes out, you can blend into the entourage, but don't let the prince see you."
"clear."
"Okay."
Zhao Fu took Li Qi back to the door, where the other eunuchs were still standing there obediently.
Li Qi also came over and mingled among the group of eunuchs.
Since Zhao Fu didn't say anything, others didn't dare to ask more questions.
After a while, there was a sound of smashing things in the house, followed by Jiang Qian's curse.
Because he was a little far away, Li Qi didn't hear clearly.
The sound of smashing things continued for a while. When it stopped, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Jiang Qian walked out angrily and left without saying a word.
When Zhao Fu saw this, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Move."
A large group of people followed Jiang Qian and left the princess's palace in a mighty manner.
Li Qi was walking at the back, and when no one was paying attention, he turned and ducked into another garden.
After everyone left, he came to the door of Lu Jinshuang's wing.
The door was wide open, and the scene inside was clearly visible.
Lu Jinshuang was sitting on a chair, her face a little pale, and there was a trace of bright red at the corner of her mouth. The ground was full of smashed vases and tea bowls.
Apparently she was beaten badly by the prince just now.
This Jiang Qian couldn't see that he could actually attack a woman.
Grandma, what is a man who beats a woman?
Li Qi walked in slowly, and Lu Jinshuang looked up at him expressionlessly.
"What's going on?" Li Qi asked.
Lu Jinshuang said calmly: "He just hates me."
"I hate that I treat you like this? After all, you are also a princess."
Lu Jinshuang sneered: "Crown Princess? He has never regarded me as a Crown Princess. In his opinion, I am just a person sent by his brother to monitor him."
"Brother Royal?"
"Third Prince." Lu Jinshuang said.
Li Qi was a little confused, why did it involve the third prince again?
