Chapter 141 Finding Huaiqing
Chapter 141 Finding Huaiqing
Not long after Concubine Li left, the Fifth Prince came over in a swagger and announced his request for a meeting.
When Lin Zhihe heard the name of the Fifth Prince, he felt a headache.
He really treats the Vermillion Bird Palace as his home. He goes there every day and is busy every time.
Sometimes she even suspected that all these things were caused by the Fifth Prince's walking around.
Seeing that Lin Zhihe looked unhappy, Liu Li's face also darkened and she waved her hand, "No see."
The eunuch who delivered the message looked at the faces of the two men and hurried out, fearing that the fire would burn himself.
Lin Zhihe found the young eunuch's reaction somewhat funny.
She simply sat in front of the mirror and observed her face. Has she now reached the point where her every move is scary?
The eunuchs and palace maids who didn't know her looked at her as if they were looking at a scary person.
She turned out to be a terrible person. She was moody and had the power of life and death over them. She would punish the palace maids severely if she was not happy.
Lin Zhihe sat in front of the mirror, staring at his face blankly.
At some point, Liu Li's face, that gloomy face, appeared behind the mirror.
There were complex emotions on his face, but his dark eyes were always staring at her.
His eyes seemed to be asking her what she was looking at, but it seemed as if he was saying nothing. He was just quietly accompanying her.
This is the face he likes very much. In fact, it’s not just the face, he likes this person from beginning to end.
She knew that he was cruel and vengeful, but that was what society had imposed on him and she couldn't blame him.
At least he is very good to myself. Ignoring the initial time we spent together, he is very good to myself.
She never expected that one day she would be so bewitched by a face, and the other person turned out to be a eunuch.
"Master, do you want to put on makeup?"
“No painting”
Although she hates wearing makeup, she has remained consistent.
The eunuch who had delivered the message came back again, with a look of fear and reluctance on his face, but he still looked at her bravely, "Your Majesty, the Fifth Prince insisted on coming in, and told me to tell you that the Fifth Prince has something very important to tell you, and that you must see him today."
"Let him in. I want to see if there is anything I must tell you."
This sentence sounded like it was said to the young eunuch, but in fact, Lin Zhihe said it to Liu Li.
Liu Li hates it when others disobey Lin Zhihe, she cannot tolerate it at all.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Liu Li's expression improved a little, but only a little, and his face was still cold.
"Youth pays respects to mother and congratulates her on her new marriage." As soon as the fifth prince came in, he knelt on the ground, sitting very straight.
Lin Zhihe was a little confused after kneeling like this. She subconsciously looked at Liu Li, "Why am I so happy?"
"My son heard that Princess Cheng is more than two months pregnant. I think your mother will be very happy, so I came to congratulate her."
It is said that? Who did you listen to?
She had just heard what Concubine Li said. All she knew was that the fetus was stable, but the Fifth Prince blurted out that it was more than two months.
What a good trick. Otherwise, he might as well try to fight for the throne in the palace.
Lin Zhihe smiled slightly, "You should go congratulate her, why congratulate me?"
The Fifth Prince was a shrewd man, so he naturally heard something wrong. He looked up at Lin Zhihe and said slowly, "My son thinks of the deep love between you two sisters. The honor of becoming a princess is the honor of your mother."
Lin Zhihe didn't know what this little bastard was thinking, so she could only calm down and explain to him slowly: "You and I are mother and son. My honor is you, not the eldest sister or the second sister. Only if you have the honor can I happily accept this congratulations."
The Fifth Prince was very pleased with these words, and a smile finally appeared on his face, but it was not obvious.
"Hurry up and get up. Don't kneel. Mother knows that you are a good child with kindness, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and trustworthiness. But don't kneel like this all the time." Lin Zhihe spoke faster than her brain and she didn't even know what she was saying.
Ren Yi Li Zhi Xin himself stood up, but his face was mysterious and he looked at her in an unfathomable way.
What tricks is this kid going to play?
Lin Zhihe rubbed her temples helplessly. She already had a headache before he started talking.
It would be a blessing if the Fifth Prince could speak to her directly instead of beating around the bush and revealing his purpose unintentionally.
"Mother, have you been troubled recently? I see that you look a little haggard." Although the Fifth Prince looked like he was in for a good show, he still pretended to feel sorry for his mother.
Lin Zhihe was very angry when she heard this. If you want to beat around the bush, just beat around the bush. Why attack her looks?
She also relies on her face to make a living in this harem!
"Really?" Lin Zhihe touched his face with a sarcastic smile, "When can you be a little more obedient and stop worrying me, my mother's complexion will improve."
The Fifth Prince never expected that Lin Zhihe would go down this path. He was a little surprised, but he remained well-mannered and continued acting.
"It's my fault for making my mother worry. I will definitely change in the future."
"But mother, you have to understand my son. He has been busy lately. Today, Duke Zheng said there was a problem with the rent for the land in the suburbs. Tomorrow, Taoist Huaiqing and Master Xukong got into a fight again and were detained. It's a headache."
Lin Zhihe was so sleepy from listening to this long string of chants that he didn't take it seriously at all. He just perfunctorily said, "If you have a headache, go to bed early to avoid..."
Wait, who did Xiao Deng just say was fighting with whom?
Lin Zhihe instantly perked up, staring into the eyes of the Fifth Prince and discovered that the boy was looking at her with a cunning expression.
"Who did you just say was fighting with whom?"
Not only her, Liu Li also stared at the Fifth Prince with her eyes fixed.
"It is said that there is a Taoist called Huaiqing and a Void Walker, the two of them..."
"How did you know?" Lin Zhihe interrupted him before he could finish.
“Know…know what?” The Fifth Prince tried his best to appear confused.
There are only two possibilities for the Fifth Prince to know that I was looking for Huai Qing. One is that Liu Li's movements were too big and alarmed the Fifth Prince.
Another one is...
"You also have spies around the eldest prince?" Although Lin Zhihe was asking questions, he did not give him a chance to answer, and then continued: "Okay, you have some skills."
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in denying it. The Fifth Prince simply remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.
"Where is he now?"
Lin Zhihe seemed a little anxious.
But she couldn't help but be anxious. Taoist Huaiqing was her hope of returning. If she found Taoist Huaiqing, she would be able to return.
Otherwise, she would be trapped in this place for the rest of her life.
"Outside the palace, I placed him in a very safe place."
Seeing Lin Zhihe's worry, he quickly added, "Don't worry, Lin Ping will be watching him personally to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Nothing is foolproof, she just knows that the longer the night, the more trouble you have.
"Take me there, I want to go now."
