Volume 1: Painting Hall Spring Chapter 51: Bold and Reckless
When Qingxi woke up, she was already in the palace.
She rubbed her neck and was in a daze for a long time before she remembered what happened: she was knocked unconscious by Li Han.
She opened the thin quilt and was just about to get out of bed and call someone when she saw Yueying push the door open and come in. When she saw her waking up, she almost cried with joy.
"Girl, you're finally awake." Yueying hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and kept talking: "The palace sent two waves of imperial doctors, and they both said it's nothing serious, just rest more. But we are still worried. You
We were really scared to death. Master, madam, and young master have all been guarding you all night. And that Miss Li... She managed to knock you out so well. What happened? The Holy Spirit sent her to the palace overnight and released her back this morning.
Yes. The young master argued with her for a long time early in the morning..."
Qingxi felt dizzy again from what she said, but she still clearly understood a few important things. "Father, mother, and brother, are you all here?"
"Well. The master and the young master have already gone to the government office to run errands. Madam stayed with you all night last night and is now resting in the side room. I will be very happy to know that you are awake. I will tell your madam." Yueying said and ran out.
"Wait a minute!" Qingxi grabbed her. "Let her sleep a little longer."
Yueying stopped in a hurry, thought it was right, and handed Qingxi another glass of warm water.
"Miss Li has entered the palace?"
Moon Shadow nodded.
"Then where is she now?"
"Xiying Palace."
Qingxi frowned slightly, and then asked after a while: "Have dad and brother mentioned what's going on outside?"
"You're still talking about it! Do you know how serious the matter is? If you didn't let me follow, I knew something was going to happen..." Yueying's tone was full of fear.
Qingxi sighed and interrupted her: "Let's get to the point."
Yueying paused and snorted: "You are not afraid. All those people were taken into custody. It was said that the Holy Emperor was furious and was reviewing them all night. The young master said that this matter will definitely cause an uproar in the court."
Qingxi nodded, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt a little tired, but not too uncomfortable. "Go and invite Miss Li." She ordered.
Yueying showed displeasure: "Girl..."
Ever since she watched the unconscious Qingxi being sent back to her house yesterday evening and knew that she was knocked unconscious by Li Han, she also had a strong opinion of Li Han.
Qingxi took one look at her and understood what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "She doesn't want to harm me. I think she just wants to help me."
Yueying was puzzled and curled her lips, but she believed whatever Qingxi said.
When Li Han walked into Chaolan Garden, Qingxi had just finished washing and drank some porridge. She dismissed the attendants in the room, saluted Li Han and said, "Thank you very much, Miss Li. I have wronged Miss Li."
Li Han frowned slightly and was very surprised: "Why did the princess ask for my luggage? I can't afford it. Speaking of which, I want to ask the princess to forgive me. Yesterday, without the princess's permission..."
Qingxi interrupted her with a slight smile: "Yesterday, you helped me and His Highness. I was unconscious at the scene, so this matter would appear real and logical. Moreover, you did not hurt me, but asked me to take care of myself.
Had a night's rest."
Li Han's eyes softened slightly, and they no longer looked so indifferent.
"I heard that my brother gave you a hard time this morning. He must be concerned about my safety. If there is anything inappropriate in his words, please don't mind, girl."
The corner of Li Han's mouth seemed to be raising a smile: "That's not true. I looked at Ling Tanhua's face and looked very ugly."
Qingxi looked at her for a moment, wondering if her brother had failed to teach her a lesson and was instead being taught a lesson?
"So I am not wronged, and the princess does not need to be comforted." Li Han said very grandly. She paused and said sincerely: "The princess does not need to thank me. In fact, I will do that, and I have my own selfish motives. As for this selfishness
What is it? I forgive Li Han for not being able to tell the princess at this moment."
Qingxi stared at her, confused for a moment, but she didn't ask further questions. Instead, she smiled and said, "I believe the girl will not harm me."
Li Han saw that she didn't ask any more questions after saying this, so he asked: "Princess, aren't you curious about what the Lord said when he recruited me to the palace?"
Qingxi smiled and shook his head: "It's not for me to find out what His Majesty said to you. Of course, I have no intention of asking."
"The Holy One is very concerned about the safety of the princess. He personally confirmed the situation with me and ensured that I had no ill intentions towards the princess."
Qingxi's face remained as usual, with a smile still hanging on her lips. She glanced at Li Han and said meaningfully: "The Holy Emperor and the Queen are both kind people. They will also treat people who His Highness cares about."
Li Han frowned, feeling that Qingxi's words were very strange, but he couldn't figure out what was so strange.
While I was thinking about it, I heard Qingxi ask: "I have another thing to ask the girl."
"Princess, please speak."
"Were those two flying knives made by someone secretly arranged by the girl yesterday?"
Speaking of which, those two flying knives are also the key to defeating the enemy.
Li Han was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "It's Ding Ming from Changfeng Escort Bureau. He is good at using flying knives."
Qingxi nodded: "If you don't mind, I would also like to thank him in person."
"I mind." Li Han said firmly.
This was beyond Qingxi's expectation and she felt slightly embarrassed.
Li Han was very calm, "He followed me here on his own initiative. He is very timid, as you can see from the fact that he only shows his sword but never shows his face. Moreover, I came to live in the palace partly to avoid him."
This even surprised Qingxi: "Avoid him?"
"To be honest with the princess, the elders in the family wanted to bring me and Ding Ming together. I didn't like it, so I came to Shangdu. I didn't expect him to come too. I thought I would live in the palace, the royal place, and it would be difficult for him to follow me.
It’s always cleaner.”
Qingxi burst into laughter. She thought Li Han's cool face and teasing tone were very cute.
Li Han raised his eyebrows and shrugged, looking like I was helpless too.
After laughing, Qingxi realized the reason why she insisted on living in the palace. And when she came to Shangdu, she went against her family's will and went to Xiao Yizheng on her own initiative. Even though His Royal Highness is Prince Heng, he still has feelings.
competitors.
She actually felt that Ding Ming was not the timid person Li Han said. "I think Ding Shaoxia has a bravery that you haven't experienced yet."
Li Han glanced at her quickly and said in surprise: "The princess and the Sixth Master coincidentally agree, and they both admire him very much."
Qingxi smiled lightly: "No matter what, I still have to thank him. If it's not convenient for me to see him, I'd like you to convey it to me."
Due to the assassination of the princess, the security of Prince Heng's Mansion was upgraded. Qingxi did not leave the gate of the Prince's Mansion for several days. He only said that he was frightened and was recuperating in the mansion.
Both the emperor and the empress sent people to express condolences and sent many precious medicinal materials.
People from the Ling family also visited their daughter at home for several days in a row, and they were frightened every time they talked about it. Qingxi did not dare to reveal even a single word of the ins and outs of this matter, but she repeatedly promised that she would be careful and cautious to prevent herself from being put in danger.
among.
Ling Deyan sighed deeply and privately told Chen Ruofu that he regretted marrying Qingxi to the royal family.
When Qingsong saw that Qingxi looked good, he began to tease her again: "Since ancient times, heroes have saved beauties, and you are the hero of the beauty gang. King Guang's action has ruined himself. Heng'er, you are amazing."
Qingxi felt that her brother might have vaguely guessed something, but she didn't mention it by name, so she replied: "That's natural, don't offend me."
"Don't dare." Qingsong immediately raised his hands and showed fear.
Qingxi was a little hesitant, wondering whether he should tell his brother all the truth behind the matter, but he heard Qingsong whisper: "Your brother, I can naturally know what I want to know, without you having to ask."
After saying that, he smiled deeply and shook the paper fan. "It's just that I won't do it next time. If you don't want to worry your parents."
Qingxi smiled brightly and quickly offered Qingsong a cup of tea. "Why is my brother so smart?"
Qingsong patted her head with a folding fan. "I don't know anything."
"Yes, yes..." Qingxi smiled brightly, paused, and said with her cheeks: "So, my brother is so smart, it is only fair for Miss Li to be angry." After saying that, she nodded deliberately.
Qingsong laughed, not caring much, and reminded her slowly: "I think His Highness will be able to return to Beijing soon. You have to consider Miss Li's matter yourself."
Qingxi's smile froze on her lips and she didn't speak for a long time.
Qingsong sighed: "Heng'er, originally I wasn't worried that Li Han would enter the palace. After all, entering the palace requires the consent of the palace. But this time, she has made a meritorious service, and the Holy Emperor has also summoned her, so it is possible.
.I know your character very well, and I'm afraid you won't wrong yourself. So, that day, I was really surprised when you said that you were happy with King Heng. When you marry into an emperor's family, you will inevitably have to face these. Previously, I will
I am telling you about Li Han’s situation because I want you to choose what to do."
Qingxi nodded and said softly: "Don't worry, I will talk to His Highness when he comes back."
In fact, what she was thinking was: she had no right to feel aggrieved, and her brother thought too much for her.
Qingsong nodded: "We want to have a good talk. In fact, I think there may not be an affair between His Highness and Li Han."
Qingxi doesn't want to judge for herself what kind of friendship there is between Xiao Yizheng and Li Han.
She feels tired.
No matter what their relationship is, it cannot change her one-year appointment with Xiao Yizheng.
And when she saw Xiao Yizheng's urgent letter home from Southwest China, she immediately wondered whether the one-year appointment could end early.
This letter from home only has four words that can be read on the back of the paper: Be bold.
She was really angry when she saw these four words.
Audacious?
This means that he knows that he used safety to help him, in exchange for these four words? Should he write a word of thanks anyway? Should he care about whether he was injured? Shouldn't it be just four words?
blame?
Didn't it mean that the right arm was injured? How could these four words be written by a person with an injured right arm?
She is really angry.
After that, several letters came to her from Southwest China asking about her current situation, but she never wrote a reply.
Yueying persuaded her many times, but she remained unmoved.
If it was out of resentment at the beginning, it was because she deliberately avoided it later.
