The second prince was in a hurry but he couldn't help it. In terms of fighting, he couldn't win against Gu Qianxue.
"Gu Qianxue, do you have this prince in your eyes? If you want to be a concubine for this prince, be honest. If you don't want to be a concubine, go and talk to father. Since you are not good to me, why don't you reject father? Emperor, is your purpose to torture this prince?" On the word "purpose", the second prince emphasized his tone.
It has to be said that the second prince's unintentional words awakened Gu Qianxue.
—Yes, what is her purpose now? Did you enter the palace to play? Is it to pass the time? No, she was still burdened with the task assigned by Su Lingxiao and finding out the evidence that Concubine Xilan was the mastermind of the queen mother.
Thinking about it, Qianxue's complexion changed, and she lowered her voice, "Second prince, don't blame him, he is also forced to help him, if he doesn't drag you into the water, how can the empress of Ceylon spare him? The second prince is so wise and intelligent. , how can I not see that the empress wants to make things difficult for others, and they are not afraid of being made difficult, but because they kneeled and broke their legs, how will they serve His Royal Highness the Second Prince in the future?"
I saw the second prince's whole body trembled, and he stood up in a jerk, "It's alright, don't rub it anymore, you talk carefully, I have goose bumps all over my prince."
Qianxue froze, "Just now I...was disgusting?"
"Very disgusting." The second prince snorted coldly.
"..." With a deep sense of frustration, Gu Qianxue raised her head, and sighed against the blue sky with floating clouds, "What should I do? How could I inquire about any news?" she murmured.
"What did you say?" Because the voice was too low, the second prince couldn't hear it clearly.
Gu Qianxue glanced at the second prince, who was surrounded by gold and jade, and shook her head, "It's nothing, the third princess asked me out. Since the Ceylon concubine doesn't need me to accompany her to worship Buddha, I'll go find the third princess."
"Oh." The second prince said.
Now, Gu Qianxue is half-familiar with the imperial palace, and knows several well-known palaces.
The dormitory where the three princesses live is called Yancui Pavilion, not far from Concubine Ying's dormitory.
The reason why it is called Yancui Pavilion is that the place is full of green trees and there are many bird nests. It is very noisy in spring, but it also has a sense of vitality.
After Gu Qianxue left Ci'an Palace, she strolled towards Yancui Pavilion alone, and all the court ladies and eunuchs she met along the way knelt down to pay her respects, and Gu Qianxue responded with a smile.
Just when the building of Yancui Pavilion faintly came into view, a familiar voice came from behind. "Qianxue, this king has something to tell you."
It was none other than Li Wang.
Gu Qianxue froze for a moment, paused for five seconds, and then turned around hesitantly.
But she found that King Li, who was dressed in black and brocade robes, was standing behind her at some point, silently, like a ghost.
His face was still cold and emotionless, and could even be said to have a tyrannical temperament, but Gu Qianxue could tell that he was in a good mood.
Regarding this strange specialty, even she herself did not know when she practiced it, others could not guess Li Wang's mind, but she could.
But just because King Li is in a good mood doesn't mean she is in a good mood. "What?"
"Come here." After speaking, King Li turned around and walked towards a garden not far away.
The harem is full of small gardens. As long as there is an open space, it will be decorated with flowers, plants, gazebos, tables and chairs. After all, not only the ladies need leisure and entertainment, but also the maids who are off duty occasionally find a secluded small garden to bask in the sun and chat. Chat, embroider.
Originally, there were two young maids who were going to take advantage of the good weather to bask in the spring sun, but when they saw the murderous King Li approaching, they hurriedly greeted the two with pale faces, and then ran away as if flying away.
Afterwards, the small garden was quiet, even if there were no guards, no one dared to approach the garden.
King Li just looked down at Gu Qianxue, without saying anything for a long time.
Qianxue only felt that her heart was as tense as a drum, and it was ringing non-stop.
Taking a deep breath, she glared away, "His Royal Highness Li Wang, what do you want from me?"
"Do you know why this king asked you to agree to the marriage?" King Li asked without answering.
Gu Qianxue froze, and bit her lip fiercely, "Whether I agree or not is none of your business."
King Li automatically ignored her disrespect, "Your presence in Ci'an Palace means that Ling Xiao agrees with this king. I hope you can find the poison to prove that it came from Concubine Ceylon."
Qianxue just wanted to habitually refute the past, but reason still prevailed. "Heh, that's easy to say, but what exactly do I have to do? I haven't studied investigation and I don't have much reasoning ability. I can't be Di Renjie and Sherlock Holmes. Do you still expect me to pretend to join Concubine Ceylon and infiltrate the enemy?" She really didn't like it. I would like to bow my head to Concubine Ceylon.
"That's not necessary," Li Wang looked around with sharp eyes, "there are Ling Xiao's spies in the harem, you just need to be responsible for finding or creating opportunities for these spies."
Gu Qianxue was taken aback, "Creating opportunities? I don't know how to create opportunities." She was very puzzled.
She can be sure that Su Lingxiao and Li Wang have never met, but even so, the direction of their thinking is always the same, and their thoughts are very synchronized.
What kind of friendship is the two of them
"You don't need to know how to create opportunities, and you don't need to try to please or annoy Concubine Ceylon. Let nature take its course. When the time comes, the spies will perform their duties." King Li said.
Gu Qianxue was puzzled, "Is it true? The spy is so amazing?" Because she was surprised, she ignored the rejection of King Li.
King Li didn't want to explain at first, but seeing Qianxue's puzzled eyes, he couldn't help lowering his voice, "There are spies in Ci'an Palace."
Gu Qianxue opened her eyes wide.
King Li glanced around, "There are also his spies around us."
"Really?" Gu Qianxue began to search nervously, "Can... let them come out and show me?"
"No." Li Wang refused without thinking.
"Why?" Gu Qianxue stared at King Li in confusion.
King Li glanced contemptuously, "If you know the identity of the spy, it will only cause bad things."
"You..." What does this mean? It clearly means that her acting skills are not good and she can't hold back, "You are too low-minded!"
If it were someone else who dared to say that King Li is a dog, he would strike him with a palm without hesitation, but King Li has long been used to Gu Qianxue's rebellion. Said the weather is fine today.
Because King Li didn't answer her, Qianxue slowly lost her eyes, "You don't know, are you lying to me?"
King Li cast her a glance, then said to the surroundings, "Throw a stone."
Then, out of nowhere, a stone was thrown.
Gu Qianxue found sadly that even though the spies had thrown stones, she still couldn't find the spies' hiding place. "Forget it, maybe I'm really not the material for detailed work. I've finished explaining the matter, right? Then I'm leaving." Then he turned and prepared to leave.
"Wait." King Li said, his expression no longer as calm as before.
"What?" Qianxue glared at him.
King Li hesitated for a long time before sighing, "Stay with me for a while, okay?"
