Red Robe

A trembling voice: "Lin, Lin Xin?"

"Put her down." Li Qingning frowned and said to Fang Xin.

Fang Xin nodded slightly, picked up a leaf at random, was about to throw the leaf, and cut off the hemp rope tied to the tree, when she suddenly heard Li Qingning say: "Wait!"

She withdrew her hand abruptly, turned around and asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Li Qingning took a step back slowly, "We'll wait until the people from the imperial medical office arrive. This Lin Xin may also have smallpox."

Hearing this, Fang Xin and the little palace maid who was washing clothes turned pale with fright, and both staggered back a few steps.

Chapter 75

75

The courtyard is surrounded by houses, and there is only one almost towering tree standing in the middle.

The bark is withered and blackened, the branches and leaves are sparse, and most of the rhizomes that have penetrated into the ground are curled up.

The rag tied to the tree was torn from nowhere, and it was tightly strung around Lin Xin's neck. Her limbs were hanging down naturally, her shoes, socks and clothes were all neatly dressed, and she didn't seem to have smallpox on her face. Mark of.

Fang Xin staggered back a few steps, staring at the court lady who hanged herself from the tree with wide eyes and said: "Your Highness, why is there no rash on her body? Could it be a mistake?"

Li Qingning was also very puzzled, but now this person died strangely, first he said that he was ill, and then he hanged himself on this tree in a few days, if it wasn't that she wanted to hide something, it was that outsiders hoped that she could hide something.

"Don't touch her, are the people from the Imperial Medical Office here?" Li Qingning asked coldly.

The little palace lady leading the way was so frightened that her legs became weak, she sat on the ground and was speechless for a while, her whole body was trembling slightly, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"It should not be there yet." Fang Xin looked back, only to see that there was no movement outside the yard.

Li Qingning nodded slightly, her slightly squinted eyes drooped down, and fell straight on the little palace maid, "Apart from Lin Xin's physical discomfort, what's wrong with her these days?"

The little maid was trembling, her chin was still raised, the veins on her neck seemed to be stretched to the extreme, her eyes were still staring at the person hanging on the tree, her lips were slightly parted, but A word is also pronounced.

Fang was also flustered, and took a step forward to block Li Qingning, shielding her master behind her, and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness is asking you something."

The little maid came back to her senses when she heard the sound, her stiff neck finally twisted slowly, and then her raised chin lowered.

It's just that although she lowered her head, her pupils still looked up at the tree, her pupils trembling slightly, obviously she was terrified.

"Is there anything unusual about Lin Xin these past few days!" Fang Xin bent down slightly, looking straight at her and asked.

The little maid suddenly opened her mouth, and took a deep breath like a fish in water, her chest heaved violently, and her eyes, which had been frozen for a long time, turned back.

"She, she, she..."

"She's dead." Fang Xin suppressed the fear in her heart, and squeezed out the sound of the words in a flat tone.

The little palace lady trembled and said: "A few days ago, she said that she was not feeling well, and later she said that she was sick. In those few days, her complexion was flushed, and she coughed continuously. I wanted to check her body temperature, but she wouldn't let me get close."

"What's next?" Li Qingning asked.

"Then..." The little maid lowered her head and gasped for breath again, as if she had thought of something terrible, her brows suddenly frowned, "Then she begged Mammy to find someone else to deliver the food, she was like crazy , Zishi quietly left the house and fetched two buckets of cold water from the well."

"Her behavior was so weird, and she didn't get close to me all the time. I thought she was being abused by someone. I heard the movement in the yard, so I followed quietly, but I saw her hiding. Wipe yourself." The little maid trembled.

"Did you see anything?" Li Qingning frowned slightly.

The little maid shook her head and said, "I didn't see anything. It was late at night, and there wasn't even half a candle in the courtyard. I could only vaguely see her wiping every inch of her skin desperately."

"Desperate?" Li Qingning said slowly.

"That's right," the little palace maid suddenly looked up at Li Qingning, her eyes were already red, "It's like rubbing the skin to pieces, trying to wipe it off."

"What happened next?" Li Qingning asked again.

The little maid thought for a while and said: "Then I lowered my voice and called her, but saw her hastily put on her clothes, and when I was about to walk over, she scolded me a few words."

She paused for a moment, and then said: "I dare not go forward, her voice is so shrill, if it is louder, it will definitely wake up the people in the room, and it will definitely be known by the mother, mother If Mammy finds out, she must punish us."

"What else, tell me what you know." Li Qingning said lightly, raised her eyes again, and looked at the person hanging on the tree without any waves.

"On the second day, although I was not punished by my mother, she was. Originally, she was going to Shangshi, but she lay motionless on the bed the next morning. My lord got angry, so the nanny came and picked her up." The little maid rolled her eyes, as if she was thinking hard about what happened that day.

She pursed her dry lips, "Mammy asked her why she didn't go, but she smiled and said nothing. Mammy was very angry, so she beat her with a bamboo branch, making her palms bloody."

As the little palace lady's voice fell, Li Qing stared at Lin Xin's hand hanging by her side, but she couldn't see it clearly, Lin Xin's palm was almost stuck to the side of her leg, most of which was covered.

Seeing her tilting her head and frowning, Fangxin immediately understood, walked a few steps aside, and after seeing Lin Xin's palm clearly, said: "Your Highness, blood has indeed been drawn out of Lin Xin's palm, and now it has scabbed."

Li Qingning nodded slightly, lowered her head and asked the little maid: "What else did Lin Xin say to you?"

The little maid heard the words and looked back out of the courtyard, as if she was terrified, and said in a low voice: "After Lin Xin was punished by the mother, I pretended to forget to take something back and take a look. I wanted to ask I asked Lin Xin what was going on, but she didn't look me in the eye."

"When Mammy saw me going back, she beat and scolded me, and then walked away angrily." She continued.

"Continue." Li Qingning nodded slightly.

The little palace maid swallowed, her pupils trembled slightly, she glanced at the courtyard door behind her again, and said in a low voice: "After Mammy left, Lin Xin told me, don't be afraid of Mammy, after a few days Mammy will definitely be punished."

"What retribution?" Li Qingning asked immediately.

"She..." The little maid shook her head, "She didn't tell me."

Li Qingning pondered for a while, then asked, "Do you know what happened before Lin Xin went to deliver food to the third prince?"

The little maid pursed her lips and said nothing, her eyes slightly dodged.

"If you don't tell me, Lin Xin will die in vain." Li Qingning said slowly, word by word.

The little maid took a deep breath and said after a long time: "She, she..."

"Say." Li Qingning said.

Only then did the little palace maid speak: "In the night, in the night, she quietly and quietly confronted the eunuch..."

Li Qingning fell silent, it's not uncommon to have a confrontation in this palace, maids and eunuchs often comfort each other because of loneliness, but this is not in accordance with the rules, if found out, both of them will be killed with a stick.

She frowned and said, "Do you know which palace the eunuch belongs to?"

"I heard that it used to be Qingxing Palace, and then went to the Supervisor of Rituals to be punished. The eunuch went to the Supervisor of Rituals shortly before Lin Xin was sent to deliver meals to the third prince. Why didn't the eunuch hear about it later? It's gone." The little maid said tremblingly.

Li Qingning narrowed her eyes slightly, Qingxing Palace, isn't that the second prince's place?

She nodded slightly: "I know."

Fang Xin raised her lowered eyebrows slightly, "What does Your Highness know?"

"Lin Xin knew that she was sick, and she thought that the disease would be passed on to the nanny, so she deliberately asked the nanny to punish her, she had already thought about it." Li Qingning said calmly.

The little maid stared, "But, why didn't she tell me!"

Li Qingning bent down, her black hair like crow feathers fell from her shoulders, her red lips moved slightly, and she said each word: "She is doing it for your own good, and she doesn't want to hurt you."

The little palace maid was dumb, her chest rose and fell due to inhaling and panting, her eyeballs seemed to be frozen again, and after a long time, tears suddenly flowed out, "She hated the nanny very much, she once told me that if one day she could If you are in your early years, you will definitely not be able to spare the nanny."

There was pity in Li Qingning's eyes, but only for a moment, the pity in the eyes disappeared again, she straightened up and said lightly: "Okay, I know, you should step back first, you will be the same as Ben today." Don't mention what Gong said to others, if someone asks, no matter who it is, they will all say they don't know."

"Yes..." The little maid replied tremblingly.

"You must remember, otherwise, if something happens, I will not be able to protect you." Li Qingning said slowly.

The little maid trembled all over, and quickly kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Go down." Li Qingning said.

The little maid hurriedly got up, and before she left, she glanced at the person hanging on the tree again, pinched her cuffs and wiped her tears, and walked away with sobs.

Fangxin watched the little maid walk away, then she got closer to Li Qingning, and whispered in her master's ear: "Your Highness, could this matter be the Second Prince's idea."

Li Qingning nodded slightly, "The second prince is really exactly the same as the previous emperor. He is extremely cruel and merciless, even the servants in his own palace are not spared. The eunuch may also be infected with smallpox. It is no coincidence that he and Lin Xin fell in love with each other."

She paused, and then said: "The second prince threw someone to the supervisor of ceremonies. He must have found an excuse to drive the eunuch out. The eunuch may have been silenced."

"Isn't it true that no one knows if the eunuch was ordered by the second prince to meet Lin Xin?" Fang Xin frowned.

Li Qingning slowly raised the corners of her lips, the arc was almost invisible, "How can no one know, Li Wuyin is not human."

Fang Xin lowered her head, "Slaves are clumsy."

Li Qingning shook her head, "Secretly protect that little maid just now."

"Yes." Fang Xin said hastily.

Li Qingning had her hands behind her back, her black robes were blown up by the wind, she was tall and tall, but she was not as fragile as Xian Yu, no matter how exquisite and graceful she was, people dared not take a second look.

"People from the imperial medical office should be here." She said calmly.

Sure enough, people from the Imperial Medical Office rushed over behind Mammy, and Mammy saw the man hanging from the tree, couldn't help but gasped, and stammered, "This, this, this Lin Xin... "

She lowered her head and saw Li Qingning pursed her lips without saying a word, so she quickly fell silent.

The one who came from the Imperial Medical Office was only a medical worker. The medical worker hurried over with a medicine box. After meeting Li Qingning, he quickly saluted and lowered his head, "See Your Highness the Eldest Princess."

Li Qingning was not surprised, after all, the Third Prince had caused such a big incident, and there was no one who could take care of her.

The medical worker whispered: "Your Highness, all the adults have been summoned by His Majesty, and there is no one in the office for the time being."

"It's okay." Li Qingning said indifferently: "This maid seems to have smallpox, come and take a look."

The medical worker hurriedly opened the box and put on the protective gear, but hesitated as to how to put the man from the tree down.

Li Qingning turned her head and glanced at the trembling nanny, and said, "Is there a rope here?"

"Go back to Your Highness, yes." The nanny said quickly.

"Look for it." Li Qingning said.

Mammy hurriedly turned to look for it, but after a while, she brought up a rope with both hands.

Li Qingning winked at Fang Xin, Fang Xin understood, and quickly took the rope over.

Fang Xin took one end of the rope, and threw it towards the person hanging from the tree, secretly applied some spiritual energy, and saw that the other end of the rope seemed to have a living side, tied a knot by itself, and put it around Lin Xin's waist .

She raised her other hand and threw a leaf towards the cloth strip tied around Lin Xin's neck. The blade was like a knife, the cloth strip was torn apart with a sound, and the person hanging below immediately fell from mid-air.

Fang Xin pulled the rope, and the body that fell from mid-air landed smoothly.

Only then did the medical worker go forward, and after prying open Lin Xin's mouth to check, then looked at her exposed hands, feet, and neck, and then tore open her skirt, and checked her arms, shoulders, and back respectively. lower limbs.

Mammy took a step back, her body was staggering, she was about to lose her footing before the medical worker spoke.

The medical worker inspected it and put Lin Xin's clothes back together before he raised his head and said, "Your Highness, it is indeed smallpox, but this girl's rash grows behind her ears, on the back of her neck, on her arms, and on her lower limbs. Does not appear to be infected."

There was a bang, and Mammy fainted and fell to the ground.

Li Qingning was not surprised, and said with a serious face: "This matter needs to be reported to Your Highness. Everyone in Yeting Palace is not allowed to take a step outside today. Everyone will be inspected. Once smallpox spreads, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Yes!" Medical Worker and Fang Xin responded at the same time.

After everything was arranged properly, Li Qingning immediately went to Yuanzheng Hall.

In Yuanzheng Hall, several imperial physicians knelt on the ground bearing Li Zaiyu's anger.

Li Zaiyu said sharply: "A bunch of trash."

"Brother Huang, calm down." Li Qingning walked slowly.

Li Zaiyu's complexion was very dark, and his eyes were already red.

Li Qingning naturally understands why he is so angry. The palace belongs to him, and everyone in the palace should listen to him, but under his nose, no one knows that the third prince has smallpox and is a food delivery man. The little maid found it.

In the past, Li Zaiyu could order Li Wuyin to rescue the disaster without burden, but now that his three sons are going to be lost, he dare not take any more risks.

Li Qingning said indifferently: "Sister Chen has something to say to His Majesty."

Li Zaiyu held his forehead and waved to the kneeling imperial physician: "Throughout the ages, there are many cases of smallpox being cured."

The imperial physicians understood, and hurriedly exited the hall after responding.

In the empty hall, one person is standing and the other is sitting.

Li Qingning stood in the hall with lowered eyebrows and narrowed eyes, her face was clear and cold, still like a bright moon that should not be played with.

She said indifferently: "There are so many affairs inside and outside the court, and the emperor has no time to take care of them all. This time, the emperor is ill, so there is no need for the emperor to blame himself too much."

Li Zaiyu nodded slightly, "But I shouldn't have kept him under house arrest for so long."

"It's not an accident that the third prince got sick." Li Qingning said calmly.

"What do you mean?" Li Zaiyu frowned.

Only then did Li Qingning tell what the Ye Ting Palace had learned, but she didn't say that the eunuch who was eating with Lin Xin belonged to Qingxing Palace, nor did she say whether the eunuch had smallpox or not.She half-secretedly said that Li Qianjun got sick because the maid who delivered the meal contracted smallpox, and now, the maid is dead.

Li Zaiyu's face was almost ferocious, "The palace lady is dead?"

"He hanged himself." Li Qingning said.

Li Zaiyu was silent for a long time, his whole face flushed with anger, and he said after a while: "Three people, the maid, the eunuch, and my third son, besides this, I don't know how many other people in the palace have contracted smallpox."

Li Qingning nodded: "My sister-in-law has made arrangements for the matter of Ye Ting Palace."

Li Zaiyu nodded slightly, "I'm sorry, sister."

Li Qingning asked again: "I don't know what the emperor's opinion is about this matter."

"It's a crime to eat food in private, and it's a crime to conceal illness. The eunuch must find him out." Li Zaiyu said in a deep voice.

Li Qingning nodded slightly, "Then what should Qianjun do?"

Li Zaiyu rubbed the center of his brows: "Smallpox is indeed not incurable, let's see what the imperial doctors say."

Li Qingning nodded and said, "This is the only way to go now."

After leaving Yuanzheng Hall, Li Qingning returned to Yangning Palace. She ordered someone to fetch hot water, and washed her hands carefully.

The washing is very meticulous, each knuckle is rubbed inch by inch, and the finger joints are also washed extremely carefully.

This smallpox is indeed very contagious, it seems that Li Wuyin is cruel.

Not long afterward, Fangxin brought the news: "Your Highness, His Majesty did order someone to investigate the eunuch, and learned that the eunuch had left Qingxing Palace and was expelled from Qingxing Palace for stealing something. He was punished in the Prison of Rituals and was beaten to death shortly afterwards."

"Is his body still there?" Li Qingning raised her hand from the copper basin, took the muslin from Fang Xin, and slowly wiped her hand dry.

Fang Xin shook her head: "He was transported out of the palace a long time ago. I heard that he suddenly developed a high fever while being punished. After he was beaten to death, he was found to have some rashes on his body. However, the inspector of rituals did not confirm whether he had smallpox or not."

Li Qingning threw the water-soaked muslin back into the basin, and said flatly, "Li Wuyin was very clean."

"What should we do?" Fang Xin asked with a frown.

"Wait and see what happens." Li Qingning paused and said, "I'm tired."

Fang Xin understood, and quickly bowed her head and backed out.

Li Qingning lowered her eyes and let out a sigh. After a long time, she sat down in front of the mirror, and slowly tore off the golden step from her hair.

She is indeed tired, and now she hasn't remembered the exact details of her previous life, if she knew, she must have made plans.

Glancing into the bronze mirror, she suddenly frowned, and noticed a trace of soul breath gushing out of the mirror.

The black mist suddenly thickened in the bronze mirror, and a slender figure appeared indistinctly.

The dense fog slowly dissipated a little, but it was still wrapped around the figure, as if it had turned into a foggy gray gauze.

There really was someone inside.

Li Qingning was stunned for a moment, then took a closer look, it was not someone else in the mirror, but her sweetheart in red.

That man's face was covered with bead curtains again, his gorgeous face suddenly became indistinct, his eyes slowly lifted up, those peach blossom-like pupils were so cunning that they were almost evil.

Sitting in front of the mirror, Li Qingning slowly raised her arm. Just as she was about to reach out to the mirror, she saw that the person in the mirror also raised her hand.

"Before I offended His Highness many times, His Highness should bring me to justice. I knew I was wrong, so I sent it to the door myself." The woman in red stretched out a hand as white as jade in the mirror.

The five fingers hooked back slightly, as if to hook people into the mirror.

When Xian Yu's slender and beautiful fingers almost touched Li Qingning's hand, she suddenly paused, she smiled softly in the mirror, and said, "I wonder if Your Highness has figured out how to bring me to justice? Rope, what to do."

Chapter 76

76

The half of the arm protruding from the mirror is thin and white, and the bones on the wrist protrude slightly, which looks untouched.

The figure in the bronze mirror is blurry, and the outline is not very clear, but the stretched arm is very clear.

Li Qingning didn't want to pursue Xian Yu's previous offending crimes, but Xian Yu kept saying that she sent herself to the door in person to bring her to justice.

What rope, what method?

This is really unbearable to hear.

But the hand was already stretched out in front of her, and she had to confirm whether this person used some kind of magic to come through the mirror, or just used some visible but intangible illusion.

Xian Yu held the corner of her lips and looked straight at the person sitting outside the mirror. She could see clearly that Li Qingning was slightly stunned, and she leaned back a little without showing any signs.

She leaned back, as if she wanted to avoid it, but Li Qingning's hands were extremely honest.

Li Qingning's hand had already been raised, clearly intending to reach for the arm protruding from the bronze mirror.

Xian Yu thought in his heart, this eldest princess is really difficult to understand, she is clearly trying to refuse and welcome.

Li Qingning reprimanded her for offending her at will, but at the same time she was about to pretend to allow her to offend. It seemed that she was in a very difficult situation, as if she was going to drive herself crazy.

The more Xian Yu thought about it, the more complacent she became. The reason why Li Qingning was so entangled and embarrassed was because of her persecution.

She forced Li Qingning to take off the mask of indifference, reservedness and indifference to the world. Gradually, the whole person looked more and more lively.

However, Li Qingning was still stubborn, saying that she was not good at this or that.

The person in the mirror pursed her lips, thinking, everything she did was clearly what Li Qingning wanted.

Li Qingning definitely wanted it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to tease her but would be teased instead, and in the end she was tortured to the point where she couldn't even use any strength, as if she had turned into water.

"Your Highness, have you figured it out? It took me a long time to deliver it to my door this time. If Your Highness doesn't punish me, I'll go back." Seeing that Li Qingning seemed to be withdrawing her hand, she said again in a soft voice.

She lowered her brows and eyes, restrained the smile on her lips, her eyes were immediately clean as if they were not stained with a speck of dust, and after losing their sharpness, she became soft and weak again, as if anyone could take her away. Bullied to cry.

As soon as the words fell, Li Qingning's hand that was about to be put down suddenly froze in mid-air, and then the hand stretched out from the mirror suddenly shook it.

The five fingers of the hand protruding from the mirror were icy cold, as if contaminated by the chill of the bronze mirror, but it was different from the bronze mirror.

The bronze mirror is hard and cold, but the outstretched hand is as soft as a willow branch.

Xian Yu hid most of her little thoughts and held it very carefully.Like a little bird looking for food, it clearly wants to eat grains, but after looking around for a long time, it only carefully grabs a grain.

She just held one of Li Qingning's fingers, wrapping that long and slender finger in her palm, holding it loosely without much effort.

Li Qingning lowered her complex eyes, and her eyes fell on Xian Yu's hand holding her index finger.

That hand was as white as onyx, the nails were neatly trimmed, and even the nail caps were clean, with almost no crescent white on the nails.

"Your Highness, haven't you figured it out yet?" Xian Yu repeated.

"I don't think so." After a long time, Li Qingning said calmly.

Originally, Xian Yu only grasped Li Qingning's second knuckle, but after hearing this, he moved his hand cautiously.

She moved slowly little by little, as if she didn't want to attract Li Qingning's attention.

But Li Qingning's downcast eyes could see clearly that Xianyu's fingers moved to touch the gap between her fingers, and the ball of her thumb lightly pressed on the back of her hand.

This move was cautious but not lacking in boldness. If she had agreed, this person might have made further moves.

Think badly, really think badly.

Originally, she thought that if the shadow in the mirror was just an illusion created by Xian Yu, then it would be fine for her to undo the illusion, but now the hand stretched out from the mirror actually held her index finger.

This grip broke her heart.

Xian Yu's cold hand gradually warmed up, presumably the chill from the bronze mirror gradually dissipated.

Li Qingning sighed, she couldn't deceive herself anymore, she simply grabbed Xian Yu's wrist with her backhand, and circled the thin wrist bone.

"What kind of spell are you using?" She asked coldly.

In short, this person is definitely not using a very decent technique.

Xian Yu was still standing in the mirror, but just stretched out his hand out of the mirror.

The person in the mirror was still stained with the copper-yellow color of the bronze mirror, as if it was just a shadow, even his eyes were blurred, and the outline of his face was not very clear.

Although her voice came from the mirror, it clearly seemed to be far away, and it sounded like it was swaying.

"Your Highness hasn't made it clear yet, why can't you think about it, maybe you don't want to punish me, and let me offend you in the future?" Xian Yu said leisurely.

She obviously shed her edge and pretended to be docile, but she still exposed her true heart when she opened her mouth.

Li Qingning fell silent, frowning slightly, as if suppressing something.

She said after a long time: "Can you count the number of times you have offended me? How have I ever really punished you?"

Xian Yu smiled: "Your Highness has slapped my palm, and even tied me with an iron chain."

Li Qingning closed her eyes, wishing that she was not a human being, if it was a wolf dog, or some kind of lion, she would do what she did, and she would be held accountable many times, who can blame her, she just followed her heart of beasts.

"What happened earlier was because I did it wrong." She moved her lips and tongue, only to feel that her throat was dry and hoarse.

Xian Yu nodded slightly, and said again: "Your Highness hasn't finished answering, maybe you want to talk about him."

"What?" Li Qingning opened her eyes.

Xian Yu's hand was held softly by her, as if she had no bones or strength, "From now on, will Your Highness let me offend you?"

"..." Li Qingning felt that not only her ears but also her eyes were going to heat up. Maybe if this man forced her to speak again, her eyes would turn red.

How on earth could this man say so many meng lang's words without changing his face.

How on earth can he pretend to be pitiful and deceitful, and yet say such difficult words.

Li Qingning couldn't help but put in a little effort, and squeezed Xian Yu's hand that was sticking out of the bronze mirror even tighter.

Xian Yu frowned slightly pretendingly, bit his lower lip painfully, and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, you hurt Yu'er from scratching."

Li Qingning took a breath.

It's been a long time since she heard Xian Yu calling himself like this, and when she met again in the palace, this person either called himself "this seat", or just "I", and never mentioned "Yu'er".

Such a self-proclaimed name is like when Xian Yu called her back in a dream when she returned to Weifeng Island...

Also called her senior sister.

Li Qingning had already figured it out, but now that she was teased like this, she felt a serious sin.

This little junior sister was picked up by her, or she secretly let Qi Ming take it.

She was the one who picked people up, and she was the one who suspected evil intentions. In the end, it was not the person she suspected, but herself.

She has seen people like this and that in her dreams more than once, and later she read some books, and wanted to find out the reasons for her dreams of past lives, but she never thought about it, but in the book she spied a corner of Hexiu, and she couldn't help but read more a few pages.

Later, later...

Later, I also used what I saw in the book, which is simply not as good as a beast.

Xian Yu didn't know what Li Qingning was thinking, but she could see that the other party was about to speak but stopped.

The five fingers holding her wrist were still firm at first, but finally loosened a little bit of strength, loosened again and again, and the five fingers only rested on her wrist weakly.

Could it be that she said "it hurts" and Li Qingning let go of her hand?

"It's not very painful." Xian Yu thought about it and said again, after all, she was quite happy to be held by Li Qingning.

Li Qingning's eyes became more complicated, and she suddenly withdrew her hand from her side.

She pursed her lips and said, "As long as you don't offend too much, it's not impossible, and you can't offend too often."

These words were very plain, but Li Qingning squeezed them out from between her lips and teeth almost with all her strength.

Xian Yu nodded obediently, and said in a soft voice: "Then Yu'er understands."

Li Qingning wished she could hold her ears, not wanting to hear even the slightest sound.

Forget it, it's her bad intentions, her crooked intentions, and Xian Yu can't be completely blamed.

"Can you tell me now, what method did you use to get into the mirror?" Li Qingning choked up for a moment, and said in a cold voice.

Only then did Xian Yu say: "It was Bai Tu who taught me in my previous life."

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she faltered as she spoke, as if she knew she was wrong, but she did not admit her mistake, but wanted to shift the blame to Bai Tu.

Li Qingning knew that Bai Tu would not teach Xian Yu anything good, after all, he even taught Xian Yu's Dan Yin Kung Fu.

Xian Yu looked at the people outside the mirror, and said in a low voice: "This technique is called entering the mirror. As long as you enter the mirror, you can easily enter any mirror. It's just that it's a little troublesome to find the right place. Almost every household in China has bronze mirrors."

She paused for a moment and then said: "That's why I have spent a lot of effort to get to Your Highness."

"Then what are the disadvantages of this technique?" Li Qingning frowned.

Xian Yu pursed her lips. Originally, she didn't want to say much, but if Li Qingning went to investigate this technique, she would definitely be able to find it out. Rather than that, she might as well say it herself.

She was silent for a while before she pretended to be indifferent and said: "If the bronze mirror is broken, the person who entered the mirror will not be able to get out."

Li Qingning even breathed a little colder.

Xian Yu said again: "But I guess His Highness won't bear to break the bronze mirror."

"If you mistakenly pass through someone else's mirror, that person will just break the bronze mirror." Li Qing gritted his teeth in a cold voice.

The person in the mirror turned his head away, his eyes dodged in all directions, the pendant on his forehead flickered slightly, and his lips hidden under the bead curtain seemed to be slightly pursed.

Li Qingning really had a headache, and couldn't help but think, if this person is not good, he might as well be tied to his side.

That person must be firmly tied and watched, so that she can't do any more dangerous things.

Li Qing was so angry that he was dizzy, and he couldn't see the person in the bronze mirror clearly.

Xian Yu thought for a long time before probing, and said cautiously: "If something like this happens, I can only consider myself unlucky, but if Your Highness doesn't like it, I won't be in the mirror anymore."

Only then did Li Qingning slowly exhale, always feeling that if she lost her life, she must be pissed off by this person.

She said coldly, "Can you come out now?"

Xian Yu shook his head and said, "No, I can only go out from the bronze mirror where I entered the mirror. If I choose another place to appear in the mirror, it will not only hurt the body, but also hurt the soul."

Li Qingning tried not to get angry, and suppressed the coldness in her stomach.

After she regained her composure, she realized that Xian Yu would come at this time, and it must not be a whim.

After burying all the thoughts that came to my mind just now, Li Qingning asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

The man in the mirror nodded slightly: "Yes, it's just that it's difficult to speak clearly with the technique of communication, so I came up with this method."

"Tell me." Li Qingning said with a frown. Naturally, the sooner this matter is clarified, the better, so that Xian Yu can go back sooner. Now when she sees the figure in the mirror, she feels quite uneasy.

Only then did Xianyu say: "I stared at the prison for several days outside the palace, and only noticed the aura of a person on the first day I went there. The aura was both good and evil, but I was not familiar with it. I don't know if there is such a person in the palace. Monk."

"Is it good or evil?" Li Qingning didn't quite understand.

Xian Yu thought for a while and said: "That man seems to have cultivated both good and evil ways, so the aura left behind is very strange."

Li Qingning lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before shaking her head: "I have never seen such a person in the palace."

Xian Yu said again: "That person hasn't appeared since then, presumably he should be under the Second Prince's subordinates, there has been no movement outside the palace these few days, I wonder if something happened in the palace?"

"It's true that the palace is not very peaceful." Li Qingning paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Li Qianjun has smallpox."

Xian Yu stared slightly: "Isn't this the same as the previous life?"

Li Qingning couldn't tell, she didn't know much about her previous life.

Xian Yu pondered for a while, "It's not exactly the same as the previous life."

"How should I say it?" Li Qingning raised her eyebrows.

The corner of Xian Yu's lips twitched slightly, and he said unhurriedly: "In the previous life, His Highness never recommended the second prince to rescue the disaster in front of the emperor."

Li Qingning nodded slightly, but this matter is indeed what she is worried about now, "Now that Li Qianjun is sick, His Majesty must not dare to send Li Qianjun to rescue the disaster easily. If this continues, he may have no successor."

Xian Yu's half arm was still stretched out of the bronze mirror, and his fingers touched the rouge jars and jewelry boxes placed in front of the mirror, and he said after a long time: "If the emperor has another son, maybe the second prince Went to disaster relief."

"Where did this child come from?" Li Qingning said calmly.

Xian Yu rolled her eyes and said slowly: "In the previous life, there seemed to be a happy event in the harem, but I can't remember which palace's empress gave birth to a son."

Li Qingning frowned: "But if the fetus is still in the womb, how will the emperor know that the baby will be a boy?"

"The national teacher will count." Xian Yu said slowly: "Your Highness, have you forgotten that any baby born in the palace will be counted by the national teacher. Taking this opportunity, you can also get a glimpse of the national teacher's true face."

Li Qingning suddenly realized, "Not bad."

"Thinking about it carefully, the empress should be pregnant at this time." Xian Yu thought for a while and said again.

"But why hasn't there been such a happy event in the palace?" Li Qingning knocked on the table and said.

"Then there are only two reasons, one is not knowing, and the other is not wanting to let others know." Xian Yu chuckled lightly, "After all, it's said about the martyrdom in the palace, who knows whether the child belongs to the emperor or not. "

Li Qingning pursed her lips, "Are you sure you were pregnant at this time?"

"It should be." Xian Yu was not very sure.

Li Qing is solemn
