The water in the lotus pond was not deep, and the king of Shu was quickly salvaged by the servants of the Qin family.
When he fell, he didn't suffer any injuries, but his whole body was soaked, but before he fell, he sprained his foot, which seemed to be quite serious, and he couldn't even stand up, so he was immediately carried by two servants. After leaving, someone else hurried out of the house to find a doctor.
After the King of Shu disappeared, the faces of some servants of the Qin Mansion became a little weird. There were quite a few people who saw that scene just now. It was really a bit too much for a majestic prince to be frightened into such a state by a county magistrate. too embarrassing.
Qin Xiang walked out of the hall, and when he looked back from the lotus pond, he looked at Li Yi in a completely different way from before.
After all, he still failed to win over, no matter what reasons the other party found, he was on the opposite side with King Shu after all.
And the scene I saw just now proved that there was probably no room for redemption in this matter.
Li Yi turned his head, arched his hands to Prime Minister Qin and said, "Let's take my leave first, the family is still cooking soup..."
Qin Xiang nodded slightly, and said to the maid beside him, "Lead the way for County Uncle Li."
"No, remember the way." Li Yi waved his hand, turned his head and left.
Seeing his leaving back, Qin Xiang couldn't hide the regret on his face, and the maid with the scar on her face also looked up, bit her lip, and stepped back slowly.
"Su San left Hongdong County and came to the main street. I didn't say anything about my heart, but the gentlemen who passed by listened to me. Whoever is going to Nanjing, pass the letter to my Saburo..."
"Fifth Master, where are you going?" Seeing Fifth Master humming the tune with his hands behind his back, Wu Er asked suspiciously from behind.
The fifth master of the Qin family sighed, and said, "It's not fun, it's not fun, go out and listen to a play..."
…
…
"I heard from Xiaohuan that Xianggong went to Qin Xiang's mansion today?" During the meal, Ruyi looked up at Li Yi and asked.
"Oh, I'm going." Li Yi took a bite of the food, and said casually: "I just chatted casually, and didn't even take a sip of tea. The Qin family is picky..."
"I don't know what Qin Xiang is looking for?"
Although Li Yi seldom mentioned about the court or outside affairs at home, in fact, she was very clear about her family's position in the court, friends and enemies, including some changes in the situation.
Because there are some departments in the hook column that do these things.
"It's nothing. I just chatted casually. I said that I was going to assist the King of Shu. That's a puddle of mud that can't support the wall. What can I help..."
Li Yi put down his chopsticks and peeled a shrimp for Xiaohuan. Ruyi and Ruyi had no problem peeling this kind of thing, they could do it with two chopsticks, but Xiaohuan couldn't learn how to do it, and made a mess every time.
Xiaohuan and he both like to eat shrimps, but they have been refrigerated in the ice cellar at home for a long time, so they are not very fresh. Today's ones were sent by Tsundere Lolita from the palace, and I heard that they are newly arrived tribute shrimps.
This is the good thing about being an emperor. If you want to eat whatever you want, you can ask other places to pay tribute if you don’t have it in Kyoto. Since the cost of making ice has been greatly reduced, the fruits shipped from distant places have become cheaper.
"Thank you, aunt." Xiaohuan said sweetly, and concentrated on eating. What kind of Qin Xiang, the king of Shu, are all bad guys, and the bad guys will be beaten by my aunt, so she only needs to eat shrimp.
"Then, nothing happened?" Ruyi asked again.
"No..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "They are all scholars, so what can happen, even if they really do something, it is impossible for them to be so blatant. Besides, there is no need to worry about Lao Fang and the others following."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Ruyi and asked, "How about the Heroes Conference? Counting the days, it should be coming soon, right?"
Ruyi shook her head and said, "I'm afraid it will take a while longer. In recent days, more and more masters have come to Beijing, and the ranking of the heaven list changes every day. Even if it is held now, I'm afraid it will happen." There are a lot of people who won't say yes."
Originally, I didn't consider the number of people. If all cats and dogs came to compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts, when would it be better than when to go, but the qualifications were limited to the masters of the heaven list, and the hero list was blown up. I wanted to keep a low profile Yes, I'm afraid it won't work. Let's talk about whether you can be the leader or not, but the qualifications are always up for grabs.
This directly leads to a great increase in the number of competitions to be conducted every day. Of course, the emergence of masters in large numbers is much more exciting than before, and the daily profits have also doubled. There is still a lot to gain.
Two months can't be delayed anymore. Judging from the current situation, at most half a month, all the preparations should be over, and the only thing left is to send Miss Liu to the summit.
After talking with Ruyi and the others about the hero conference, Li Yi suddenly thought of something and said, "I saw Liu Mei in the Qin Mansion today."
Xiaohuan suddenly raised her head and asked, "Master, which Liu Mei is it?"
"It was the one who often quarreled with you in Liuye Village at that time."
The little maid froze for a moment, then pouted and said, "It's her..."
Since she was a child, she has been bullied by Liu Mei for a long time, and what happened later, her impression of her will naturally not be very good.
"Why is she in the Qin residence, where are the third uncle and the third aunt?" Ruyi asked curiously, and Miss Liu also cast her gaze over.
"Third Uncle and Third Aunt..." Li Yi paused, and after thinking about it, he told them the truth.
"ah… "
Xiaohuan was startled, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.
The expressions on Ruyi and Ruyi's faces also froze. After a long time, Ruyi sighed and said, "Third Uncle, he is actually very honest. When they went too far, they also stood up and spoke for us. Third Aunt..., she has always been very powerful, but..."
Ruyi shook her head. Even though there was some hatred in the past, it still has something to do with death like a lamp going out. She remembered some things when she was a child, and her heart was a little blocked.
Second Miss Liu put down her chopsticks and walked out the door.
"If it's in other places, I can help, but it's the Qin residence. If I show something different, it will actually hurt her."
Xiaohuan's mood was not too high, and so was Ruyi's. Li Yi said again: "However, it's not impossible to let her come out of the Qin residence... But I think she might not agree."
It is naturally inappropriate for him to ask for a servant girl from the Qin Mansion, and of course the other party will not give it to her, but whether it is the eldest princess or the proud lolita, or directly asking the old emperor for a will, although the process will be a bit troublesome, but It is feasible.
After a short contact with her for a while, Li Yi could feel some thoughts in her heart.
She actually has a certain kind of self-esteem, otherwise she should have raised it by herself. Presumably, she also knows that she can't face Ruyi and the others, and it's even more difficult for him to force certain things.
After a while, Li Yi came out of the room. Regarding Liu Mei's matter, he still planned to leave it like this for the time being.
Not long after, Ruyi also walked out of the house, feeling a little disturbed.
The two maids were talking with great interest while cleaning the yard.
"Hey, I went out to help purchase today, and heard some interesting things on the street."
"what? What?"
"I heard that at Qin Xiang's mansion yesterday, His Royal Highness the King of Shu was so frightened that he sprained his feet and fell into the water. Hahaha, it's so funny. I heard that the King of Shu was scared just by looking at him. When we arrived, I didn't expect him to be so timid, even more timid than Xiaoqing, the whole capital was laughing, oh no, I laughed to death..."
"Who else can scare the prince, did he hit a ghost!"
"I just listened to these few sentences, and then followed suit. I don't know what happened after that..."
…
"Qin Mansion, King of Shu?" Ruyi stood on the porch, stared in a daze, then looked in a certain direction. Li Yi's figure had just disappeared.
"Didn't you say that nothing happened?"
…
In the palace of the king of Shu, the king of Shu was furious when he heard the report from his subordinates, and he overturned the table on the spot.
"Who is it, who is it, tell Qin Yu, and check it out for me! This king wants to kill him!"
…
In the Qin Mansion, in a courtyard, there was a brisk tune uttered.
"Brother Liu's speech is too unreasonable..."
