Ever since Li Jingxun fell into a coma, the Fourth Prince had been sullen every day when he went to court. The ministers noticed the gloomy atmosphere around the Fourth Prince and tried not to provoke him. His brothers who usually opposed him didn't dare to provoke the Fourth Prince at this time.
It was said that the Fourth Prince had been throwing a tantrum in the backyard these days, and even Princess Cheng had been scolded by him. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Cheng's mother's family was concerned, she would probably have been sent to the countryside to "recuperate".
One day, the Fourth Prince had just left court when his personal eunuch suddenly reported, "Your Highness, I heard that Miss Li woke up!"
"She woke up!" The Fourth Prince was overjoyed and immediately sent people out of the palace.
At the same time, Li Feiming also received the news. He rushed to the Li Family's courtyard and saw Li Jingxun drinking tea in the room calmly. She was holding a pair of tweezers and carefully picking out the flower petals in the flower tea.
He let out a sigh of relief and sat on the armchair, "Thirteenth Sister, are you okay?"
He looked at Li Jingxun. After waking up from a coma for a few days, she was still in high spirits and still had that indifferent look.
"What can happen to me? But I am very curious. Before my value is used up, the Li Family won't be so anxious to kill me, right? Won't the Fourth Prince be angry if my value is reduced? "
Li Feiming was a little embarrassed but couldn't say a word. He didn't know the overall plan of the Li Family. He only knew that Li Jingxun was the medium of the marriage and wanted to form an alliance with the Fourth Prince.
"That … Thirteenth Sister, don't think too much. This is just an accident." These days, Li Feiming had figured out the whole story and vaguely guessed some inside information.
"From cousin's attitude, it doesn't seem like the decision of the Li Family's big shots? It should be done by some people in private? Before these two maidservants served me, which sister did they serve? They were kind enough to provide maids for me, so they must have some ulterior motives. "
From Li Feiming's attitude, Li Jingxun could guess a few things. It should be those sisters of the Li Family who secretly did it.
"But that coachman isn't a member of the Li Family. I'm afraid this matter is related. What do you think, Your Highness?"
The Fourth Prince walked into the hall, and a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.
He and Li Feiming looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"You guys talk first." Li Feiming immediately left, letting the two of them talk.
Li Jingxun asked, "That cart driver was given to me by His Highness. His Highness won't harm me. Then is it Wang Fei or a concubine in the inner courtyard? "
The Fourth Prince had a headache. He rubbed his forehead and said, "Don't worry. This kind of thing will never happen again. I will definitely give you an explanation. Wang Fei has been ill for a while, so the affairs of the fu have been temporarily handed over to a few housekeepers. "
Hearing this, Li Jingxun understood. She said, "There's no need to talk about an explanation. It's fine as long as this little girl can live in peace. I never thought that the Princess Consort would be on good terms with my sisters in the Li Family. Does His Highness know about this? "
Wang Ye furrowed his brows, "I'm not clear about this. Later, I will try to investigate."
The entire matter was very simple. Wang Fei wasn't willing to let Li Jingxun enter the fu in style, and some of the young misses of the Li Family weren't willing to let Li Jingxun enter the wang fu as a side fei. The two sides had reached an agreement and plotted against Li Jingxun. As to whether there was a deeper transaction behind the scenes, it was still impossible to see at the moment.
Originally, Wang Ye had been slightly dissatisfied with the matter of the Wang Fei. But now that it involved the young misses of the Li Family … … Don't forget how the Fourth Prince had first met Li Jingxun.
Silently making another note, the Fourth Prince said with concern, "Right, how are you? You've been unconscious for the past few days and injured your body. Do you want to see the imperial doctors again? "
"No need, Mister Dong Guo has already examined me."
"Mister Dong Guo?"
"Mister is the person who saved me." Li Jingxun didn't want to say more and reminded the Fourth Prince, "This time, I was unconscious. If it was just a fight in the inner courtyard, that would be the best. But I'm afraid that some people will think that the Li Family and His Highness are in an alliance and want to use my death to destroy the marriage between the two families. If that's really the case, Wang Fei isn't just acting on her own, she was being incited by someone else. Wang Ye doesn't need to blame Wang Fei. Why don't you investigate the mastermind? "
The Fourth Prince furrowed his brows and nodded, "That's reasonable. Later, this prince will investigate and see if there's the shadow of one of my brothers."
Even though the possibility of what Li Jingxun said wasn't high. But this way, Wang Fei's face could be preserved. He could also pretend to be the victim in front of his imperial father and gain sympathy. It really was a good method.
"Right, since you're safe this time, should I send more people for you?"
Li Jingxun's eyebrow rose. The Fourth Prince hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, the people this time are all personal guards of the wang fu and only listen to this prince's orders. They can definitely ensure your safety. Even the Li Family can't easily harm you. " After a pause, the Fourth Prince pointed out, "These people are skilled in martial arts. Even if they encounter those suppressed demons, they can still fight."
People from the Imperial Guards of the Imperial Dynasty?
Li Jingxun's heart skipped a beat.
It was difficult for immortals and demons to use their magical powers in the capital, so they could only rely on martial arts. But even so, the demonic cultivators were still arrogant. In order to suppress them and prevent mortals from being harmed, the Imperial Dynasty sent out the Imperial Guards. The people from the Imperial Guards specialized in killing techniques. As important members of the imperial court, all the princes had people like that around them.
"That's good. With people like His Highness, I can be at ease."
The Fourth Prince wanted to stay for a while longer, but Li Jingxun already had the intention to chase him out. He couldn't ask anymore and could only leave resentfully.
As soon as he left, Li Feiming, who was hiding in the garden, came in again. He looked at the eight guards around the hall and said with a smile, "His Highness is really good to you. He even lent out his personal guards."
"It's just to make things easier for me. Otherwise, I'd have to stay in the courtyard from now on. And that might not even be safe! "
Hearing the sarcasm in Li Jingxun's words, Li Feiming laughed it off, "We're family, there's no grudge that can't be resolved. I'll talk to them later and stop them from causing trouble for you. "
Li Feiming didn't want to reprimand the sisters in the clan for Li Jingxun's sake.
"Hmph, if you really want to apologize to me, then send me the families of my two servants. Clear out everyone in the monastery. "
"What, you're still going to use them?" According to Li Feiming's plan, killing the two servants who betrayed their master would serve as a deterrent.
"I don't have anyone close to me in the Li family. It doesn't matter who I use. If it were someone else, wouldn't they still be under surveillance? Or are you going to send your own people to serve me? Just these two girls, give me the contracts of their families, so they won't be bullied in the future. "
Li Jingxun was alone, even though the Fourth Prince had given her guards to protect her. However, she had to rely on servants for daily washing and eating. It would be easier for Li Jingxun to buy the hearts of the two servants who betrayed their master in his hands.
Besides, it wasn't easy for her to save people, and she was in trouble, so these two people were more trustworthy.
Seeing this, Li Feiming immediately sent someone to prepare, "Oh right, I saw someone building a straw hut at the edge of the garden, who is it for?"
"Cousin, you don't know? The reason why I could wake up this time is all because of Mister Dongguo. "
Mister Dongguo was Yu Ming's alias. Today, he went to Peng Shaoyu's place to get the souls of Li Jingxun and the other two. After showing off, he successfully snuck into the courtyard and became a guest invited by Li Jingxun.
Li Feiming muttered in his heart, "Save people? Maybe it's some immortal or devil visitor? But how can such a person use magic in the capital? How brilliant is that immortal? "
Looking at Li Jingxun again, Li Feiming thought, "She cultivates in the Xuanmen, so it's not surprising that she knows a few people. But if these people stay by her side, will they pose a threat to the Li Residence? Save her and leave? "
Thus, Li Feiming pretended to say, "Thirteenth Sister, this place is small, and men and women are strictly forbidden, so it's very inconvenient. Why don't you just stay in my residence? It just so happens that I'm very interested in metaphysics, so I can ask Mister Dongguo for advice. "
Li Jingxun said indifferently, "Cousin, haven't you always disliked these things? Compared to metaphysics, I'm afraid you'd prefer listening to songs or hanging out at the Peony Pavilion? "
"Haha, haven't we changed it recently? Also, just because we saved my sister, we have to treat him better. This temporary straw hut of yours is nothing, it's more convenient to go to a proper quiet room in our residence. "
"Since that's the case, cousin, go and talk to Mister Dongguo."
Li Jingxun looked indifferent and let Li Feiming communicate with him.
Although Li Feiming couldn't understand Li Jingxun's attitude, he didn't want her to escape the capital, so he spent a lot of money to invite Mister Dongguo away.
Soon, the news reached Li Jingxun's ears. She only smiled faintly and slowly poured two cups of tea. She said to the corner, "Senior Brother listened for a long time and did everything according to your plan. What are you going to do next? "
She made a "please" gesture.
Qing Hong slowly appeared and sat in front of Li Jingxun, looking as if he had a card up his sleeve. "Next, it's my old profession. When the time comes, I'll win the Emperor's trust and give you a chance to leave the capital. "
"Old profession? What the Emperor needs the most right now isn't the elixir of longevity? Could it be that Senior Brother is proficient in alchemy? It's not just you, Brother Yu Ming can't do it either, right? "
"I can't refine pills, but look." Qing Hong raised his cup and pointed it at the sky. "The sky … it's going to rain soon."
Rain? Li Jingxun made a sound of surprise and suddenly realized. "So that's what Senior Brother is going to do? Indeed, this way, I can legitimately leave the capital. "
