Chapter 211 Plum Appreciation Party

In the blink of an eye, it's the day of the Plum Blossom Appreciation Party.

Li Qingzhi got up early in the morning, picked out a good set of clothes, put them on, and then went to comb Jin Xiaoye's hair.

Jin Xiaoye and the others will go with him to today's plum appreciation party. After arriving there, he will follow the people to attend the party, while Jin Xiaoye and the others will stroll around and enjoy the plum blossoms.

The Zhuangzi outside the city, which is full of plum blossoms, is accessible to everyone, and it is not reserved for the elites like them.

The two of them dressed up and went to the west wing to eat.

Chang Zhan's two apprentices and Zhang Zao had already prepared breakfast.

There are no public toilets these days, so it would be inconvenient to eat a full stomach of soup and water outside before going out. They didn't eat anything thin for breakfast, but stewed noodles.

The pork is cooked together with the beans dried in the summer, and then noodles are spread on top and simmered for a while. The stewed noodles are ready and delicious.

After eating the noodles and waiting for a while, the two carriages they rented arrived.

There are many horse-drawn carriages here in the capital, but everyone usually rents them to ride on them and does not know how to raise their own horses.

Raising horses is too expensive, and most people can't afford it.

Renting a carriage is actually expensive. Generally, if you don't go out of the city, everyone walks on foot.

Jin Xiaoye was a little worried about money. She got on the carriage and said to Li Qing: "I have chosen the shop and am negotiating the rent with someone. When the negotiation is settled, I will open Juewei Zhai. In addition to Juewei Zhai, I am also going to open a Jincui Building, specializing in selling glass jewelry and soap, but before that, I need to find some craftsmen who are good at making jewelry and polishing gemstones, so that I can keep the business going for a long time."

When Qian Fugui came to Beijing this time, he brought them several sacks of glass, which could be polished into jewelry and sold.

I don't plan to sell the glass jewelry Jin Xiaoye too expensive, but I don't plan to sell it too cheap either… While opening Juewei Zhai, make some preparations and just open the Jincui Building by the end of the year.

"Okay." Li Qingzhi smiled. Jin Xiaoye is now in charge of the family's business, and Jin Xiaoye manages it very well.

"We have to make money. If we keep spending money now, if we continue like this, we will have no money." Jin Xiaoye said.

When I was in Chongcheng County, Jinye Embroidery Workshop and Juewei Zhai combined could earn two to three hundred taels of silver a month.

This seems like a lot, but they also spend a lot of money. If Li Qing hadn't made a lot of money writing books, they wouldn't be able to open a school.

When he came to the capital, Jin Xiaoye brought two thousand taels of silver. When he came, including the rent, he had already spent two hundred taels. Next, renting a shop, decorating it, and hiring craftsmen all cost more!

Everything is really expensive in Beijing!

Li Damao and Li Ermao went to Mrs. Qian's carriage. Li Qingzhi, Jin Xiaoye, Li Laogen, Zhao Xiaodou and Zhang Zao were in a carriage.

Li Laogen waited for Li Qingzhi to finish talking to Jin Xiaoye, and then said to Li Qingzhi: "Ah Qing, if we have no money, we can rent a house in a slightly worse place."

Li Laogen doesn't like Qingshi Lane very much.

He felt that his son was a very good judge, and after staying at home for two days, he wanted to go out and brag to others.

Then... Li Qingzhi introduced him to the people around him.

Li Qingzhi told him that the one who dried a bunch of pickles in front of her house was the mother of an official, and the one who walked the birds with a cage was a senior official.

In their alley, there is even a concubine who was separated from the Hou family, which means that he is the son of the Marquis!

Compared with these people, Li Qingzhi is nothing!

Li Laogen was scared when he saw the county magistrate. When he learned that there were a group of giant Buddhas living in the alley, how could he dare to go out and brag to others?

He now hopes that Li Qingzhi will move to a worse place. Only by mixing with the common people can he feel superior.

Of course, Li Qingzhi couldn't agree. This was not the Chongcheng County they were familiar with. There was no way to guarantee their safety if they lived in a place where people from all walks of life could live.

The carriage swayed forward, and it took a long time to leave the city. After walking for another hour, it finally arrived at Zhuangzi where you could enjoy plum blossoms.

Going out in ancient times was really inconvenient.

"Xiaoye, you accompany Auntie and the others around, I'm going to the plum appreciation party." Li Qing insisted.

The owner of this Zhuangzi opened the Zhuangzi free of charge and also sold food, hot water, etc. in the Zhuangzi, which could make some money and make it convenient for tourists.

They brought some food with them when they came out. They could use a place to heat it up and eat it, so they didn't have to worry about Jin Xiaoye and the others being hungry.

In addition, Zhang Zao was Li Qingzhi's bookboy, but he did not take Zhang Zao away. Instead, he asked Zhang Zao and Mrs. Qian's two maids to look after Mrs. Qian and several children.

Mrs. Qian is pregnant and there are three children in the team. It would be safer to have more people watching.

After separating from Jin Xiaoye and the others, Li Qingzhi found a servant of Zhuangzi and asked about the places where plum blossom appreciation parties were held.

The servant pointed the direction to Li Qingzhi, and Li Qingzhi walked there.

All the people who came to participate in the plum appreciation party left their residences early, and people were already here.

Li Qing had a good ear and heard them talking about Fan Weiyan from a distance.

"I have read all the books by Qingdu Sanren, so I admire Li Zhao very much. When I learned that his son-in-law came to the capital, I wanted to visit him, but now..."

"He is too unlucky. I heard that he gets new injuries every day."

"I don't know what happened to him. If someone was targeting him, why did they use such small means?"

"If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to calm down and take part in the examination."

…

When these people saw Li Qingzhi approaching, they immediately stopped and said no more.

After introducing each other to Li Qingzhi, one of them said: "Zixiao is the Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province. Brother Zixiao will definitely be on the list for this examination."

The general examination is held once every three years, and two to three hundred people are successful in one attempt. Most of the candidates who come to the capital to take the examination are not on the list.

However, Jieyuan from all provinces can basically be selected. Jieyuan from a province with a prosperous literary style like Jiang'an Province will not be ranked low unless there are special circumstances.

Li Qingzhi said a few words humbly, and soon blended in among these people and started chatting with them.

He is good at figuring out other people's emotions, and he is knowledgeable and can pick up any topic. More importantly, he really wants to make friends with people, and his eyes are full of sincerity when talking to them.

Chatting with Li Qingzhi always gives people a feeling of spring breeze, and everyone present also likes to talk to him.

While they were chatting, more and more people arrived, including Fan Weiyan.

Fan Weiyan was so unlucky during this period that he didn't want to go out, but even if he stayed in the inn, he would encounter bad luck.

After encountering poisonous insects in the first inn, he moved to another inn. As a result, the resident above him was taking a shower. The bath bucket cracked for some reason, and the bath water passed through the wooden floor and poured into his room. Make his bed and his books all wet.

Fan Weiyan was so worried that he wanted to leave the capital and go home, but he was unwilling to do so.

At this time, someone invited him to participate in the plum appreciation party. After thinking about it, he decided to come.

Everyone said he was unlucky, but Fan Weiyan felt that someone was deliberately targeting him, but unfortunately he could not find any evidence.

Let's just say that the room with the cracked bathtub lived in a county magistrate who returned to Beijing to report on his duties.

So what if he thinks they did it on purpose? They didn't recognize it at all, and even blamed the inn for the poor bathtub...

In the end, the inn lost money to both the county magistrate and him, and then persuaded him to leave, saying that he did not want him to affect the inn's business.

At that time, Fan Weiyan felt as if he had been completely humiliated.

However, those people hiding in the dark dared to target him in places like inns, and they would certainly not dare to do anything to him at a flower-viewing party like the Plum Blossom Party, which was attended by a large group of people.

Fan Weiyan didn't encounter any emergencies along the way and was in a good mood. However, when he saw Li Qingzhi chatting happily with the people around him, his mood worsened again.

Why is there Li Qingzhi everywhere?

Fan Weiyan stayed in an inn after coming to the capital, and changed inns several times. In addition, he was very unlucky... There were more people who knew Fan Weiyan than Li Qingzhi.

When they saw Fan Weiyan coming over, although they were worried about being infected with bad luck by Fan Weiyan, someone still went over to say hello.

Seeing Fan Weiyan paying attention to Li Qingzhi, someone even said: "That's Li Zixiao from Jiang'an Province. He is Jiang'an Province's Jieyuan this year."

Another person said: "It turns out that he is Li Zixiao. When I read the Anjiang Collected Works before, I saw his articles in it."

"His articles are really good!"

…

Li Qingzhi's ability to become Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province shows that his knowledge is really good.

People around Fan Weiyan spoke highly of him.

Fan Weiyan had been getting angry a lot during this period, and he could no longer control his temper. He immediately said: "This person has a bad character!"

Everyone around them was stunned. They were all competitors to each other. If we really wanted to say how well they got along, it would definitely not be possible.

But to say that someone else's character is low in public is to break the relationship!

"Why did Brother Fan say this?" someone asked.

Fan Weiyan said: "I wanted to stay at an inn on the day I arrived in Beijing, but he had four upper rooms to himself and refused to share one with me! Later, I was framed, and he watched the fun without saying a word!"

Everyone became more and more surprised - Li Qingzhi had actually done such a thing? I can't tell!

One of them, Jiao Yunwei, rolled his eyes and immediately looked at Li Qingzhi: "Brother Li, Brother Fan said that you had the four upper rooms to yourself and refused to give them up. Is this possible?" There are always some things in this world. People would love to see other people's jokes.

Li Qingzhi heard everything Fan Weiyan said.

But he was a little far away from Fan Weiyan, so he couldn't be heard.

Just didn't react.

Until now when someone else asked... Li Qingzhi looked confused: "I have the four upper rooms to myself? I only lived in one of the four upper rooms, but I never occupied them. Brother Fan, don't talk nonsense."

"Aren't you the last four rooms in the inn?" Fan Weiyan sneered.

Li Qing insisted: "Brother Fan, when I came to Beijing, I brought my wife, two children, my father, my wife's godmother, and my four disciples... I can't live alone. The upper room, so seeing that there were four upper rooms in the inn, we asked for them together. Everything is on a first-come, first-served basis. We already have the room, and you insisting on letting me give it up is really too much."

Chang Zhan's two students studied at Chongcheng Primary School and could be said to be his disciples, not to mention Zhao Xiaodou and Zhang Zao, both of whom he had personally taught.

After listening to Fan Weiyan's words before, some people wondered whether Li Qingzhi really deliberately occupied the four upper rooms and did not give them to Fan Weiyan, but now they heard what Li Qingzhi said...

Li Qingzhi brought so many people with him, and he couldn't even fit in the four upper rooms, right? !

Li Qingzhi added at this time: "Everyone should know that I rented a house after coming to Beijing. This is also because I have a large family and it is too expensive to stay in an inn."

Li Qingzhi's words were reasonable and well-founded, and everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Fan Weiyan.

Jiao Yunwei said again at this time: "Brother Li, Brother Fan also said that you watched his excitement when he was framed!"

Fan Weiyan glanced at Jiao Yunwei hatefully, then turned to Li Qing and said, "Someone framed me before, that time at the dock. Why...why did your wife watch the fun and not speak for me?"

He said before that Li Qingzhi didn't speak for him because of his excitement, but Li Qingzhi was not there at that time, but Li Qingzhi's wife was there.

"Brother Fan, at that time we only met once. My wife didn't recognize you and didn't know who you were. Naturally, she didn't know that the person was framing you...and you had good friends around you at the time. You wanted my wife A woman can help you speak?" Li Qingzhi looked helpless.

People around him also looked at Fan Weiyan with strange eyes.

Especially those people who talked to Fan Weiyan at the beginning wanted to stay away from Fan Weiyan.

If you really want to talk about these two things, Li Qingzhi is not wrong, but Fan Weiyan opened his mouth and said that Li Qingzhi's character was poor...

You can't have close friendship with people like Fan Weiyan.

Fan Weiyan became increasingly angry when he found that the attitude of the people around him had changed.

Jiao Yunwei spoke again: "Brother Fan, you deliberately misled us and said that Li Qingzhi was of low character. This is too much. I, Jiao Yunwei, will sever my ties with you!"

Jiao Yunwei spoke so righteously that Fan Weiyan was so angry. As for Li Qingzhi...

Li Qingzhi saw gloating in Jiao Yunwei's eyes.

Li Qingzhi was too lazy to pay attention to these people, and was just about to chat with his new friend when a dog suddenly jumped out from the side and bit Fan Weiyan's left leg.

Li Qingzhi: "..." He saw Fan Weiyan being unlucky again!

The people behind this are really willing to work hard. This dog bites Fan Weiyan when it sees him. Someone must have trained this dog with something that smells like Fan Weiyan, or put something specific on Fan Weiyan - this dog is biting Fan Weiyan. After that, he looked very happy that he had succeeded in hunting and wanted to ask for a reward.

"Ah!" Fan Weiyan screamed and struggled hard.

The dog was not big, just an ordinary native dog. Fan Weiyan's struggle frightened the dog, and it let go of Fan Weiyan and ran away.

It's a really familiar scene, that is, it was a human who ran away before, but this time it was a dog.

"Grab that dog! Grab that dog!" Fan Weiyan shouted.

But among the scholars present, who would dare to catch a biting dog?

"Brother Fan, do you want me?"

"Brother Fan, where is your book boy? Ask him to take you to the medical clinic."

"Brother Fan..."

These people wanted Fan Weiyan to leave quickly and not stay here.

This person is too unlucky, and they don't want to get involved in this person's bad luck.

Fan Weiyan was so angry that he looked at the people around him hatefully.

"Infinite Blissful Heavenly Lord," a voice suddenly sounded, "Laity laymen, you should be careful. This person has so much resentment. If you get too close to him, it will be bad if you get contaminated." Everyone turned around and saw that the person speaking The one in front of him was a Taoist priest with gray hair, but an extremely young face, and a kind-hearted look with an immortal air.

The Taoist priest's words seemed to be addressed to the people around Fan Weiyan.

Full of resentment? Is it bad to get stained?

People these days are somewhat superstitious. After hearing the Taoist priest's words, those scholars subconsciously stayed away from Fan Weiyan.

"You're talking nonsense!" Fan Weiyan said angrily.

Although he was bitten by a dog, the dog was not big and only made a few bloody holes on his legs. His condition at this time was actually not bad.

"A poor man never talks nonsense. There is a resentful little devil sitting on your shoulder. With it around, you are destined to have trouble." Lu Mingshan looked at Fan Weiyan and shook his head and sighed.

This Taoist priest who suddenly appeared was Lu Mingshan.

He looked extremely calm, but only he knew how panicked he was.

He didn't know that Li Qingzhi was there!

He was taught a lesson by Li Qingzhi for cheating before, and Li Qingzhi told him not to lie to others in the future, but now he is talking nonsense in front of Li Qingzhi...

Will Li Qingzhi jump out and beat him? He can't beat Li Qingzhi!

But it's impossible to leave now. The people who come to him for help are even more difficult to deal with than Li Qingzhi, and they try to put a sack on him when they come up.

Lu Mingshan's whole body tensed up, but his face never showed the slightest bit of composure.

"Taoist Master Lu!" Du Yongning looked at Lu Mingshan in surprise: "Taoist Master Lu, I didn't expect to see you here."

After saying hello, Du Yongning also introduced to the people around him: "Taoist Master Lu is a master of Taoism! He is proficient in fortune telling!"

Du Yongning is still somewhat famous in the circle of candidates - someone from the Du family is an official, and his knowledge is not bad.

Now that he said that this Taoist priest is an expert, then this Taoist priest must have some ability.

In this case, what is going on with the resentment and the kid?

"What a master, he is just a liar!" Fan Weiyan said, but couldn't help but tremble after finishing speaking.

As soon as the Taoist priest mentioned imp, he thought of his daughter.

At that time, his family did not want to be implicated by the Li family and wanted to avoid future troubles forever, so they decided to let Li Zhu and her daughter "leave" with the Li family.

At that time, Li Zhu was ill and his daughter was by his side, so he carried her over...

Before his daughter died, she kept calling "Dad" and wanted him to save her.

Over the years, whenever he thinks about this, he becomes a little scared.

Jiao Yunwei, who likes to watch other people's jokes, spoke again at this time and asked Lu Mingshan: "Taoist Priest, what is going on with the kid you are talking about? This person has been suffering from bad luck recently. Is it related to this kid?"

"Having bad luck? It must have something to do with this kid," Lu Mingshan said. "This kid is full of resentment and will definitely bring disaster."

"You liar!" Fan Weiyan said angrily.

Lu Mingshan looked at Fan Weiyan and sighed: "This layman, I didn't lie to you. This kid looks like a girl about three years old. Her hair is braided with a red ribbon and she is wearing a lake green jacket..."

Lu Mingshan said what the person who gave him the money asked him to say.

Lu Mingshan, who travels all over the world to deceive people, is extremely sensitive to other people's emotions. He found that as he told the story, Fan Weiyan, who had just been bitten by a dog, seemed to be extremely frightened.

Lu Mingshan realized something immediately.

Could it be that this man had a human life on his hands?

Lu Mingshan thought so, and so did Li Qingzhi, who thought even more.

You know, when there was a flood in Yu County, the original owner's eldest sister's daughter happened to be three years old.

Is this child dead? Is it related to Fan Weiyan?

After the Fan family said that Li Zhu's mother and daughter had died of illness, Qian Fugui suspected that the Fan family had harmed Li Zhu. For this reason, he specially found someone to dig Li Zhu's grave.

There was no body in the tomb.

After that, he asked around, and someone told him that Li Zhu left the Fan family, but no one knew where he went.

Qian Fugui felt that the Fan family should have driven away Li Zhu. He asked someone to question the Fan family, and the Fan family said the same thing.

Therefore, although Qian Fugui was dissatisfied with the Fan family, he did not take action against the Fan family.

But looking at Fan Weiyan's current performance... Li Zhu's daughter is dead?

As for Li Zhu... He had always thought that King Jin was responsible for Fan Weiyan's unlucky day, but now he thinks about it... King Jin has a bad temper, and Fan Weiyan is a nobody to King Jin, so he won't put so much thought into it.

He would never ask Lu Mingshan to say such a thing!

Lu Mingshan could even explain clearly what the girl was wearing... Was it Li Zhu who targeted Fan Weiyan? !

Li Qingzhi was not sure, but after making such a guess, the look in his eyes when he looked at Fan Weiyan became a little colder.

All the people around me who have held high positions have also left.

Fan Weiyan was far away.

Jiao Yunwei suddenly asked: "Master Lu, why is that kid riding on Fan Juren's shoulders? Can you put it away?"

Lu Mingshan's heart was full of love for Jiao Yunwei - this person asked a good question!

Although Jiao Yunwei didn't ask, the people arranged by He Yi would ask, but it would definitely be better for a person to ask him than for a stranger to ask him.

Lu Mingshan said: "Blessed Immortal Lord, this kid must have enmity with Fan Juren, so he rode on Fan Juren's shoulders. As for accepting him... This kid has a golden light of merit and virtue, and he has not committed any crimes. He is a poor Taoist. Can't take it!"

"Golden light of merit? How come there is golden light of merit on the little kid?" Jiao Yunwei rolled his eyes, looking at the excitement and not taking it too seriously.

Lu Mingshan said: "I don't know, but it should be left by the elders in the family...wait a minute!"

Lu Mingshan swayed and looked straight at the top of Lu Mingshan's head. He seemed to have seen something extraordinary, and his face turned pale: "This kid is connected by blood with this person."

Everyone present was in an uproar.

The little girl who was related to Fan Weiyan was killed by Fan Weiyan?

Could that little girl be born to Li Zhao's daughter?

If this is really the case, then this Fan Weiyan...

Everyone wanted to stay away from Fan Weiyan.

Lu Mingshan looked absent-minded, as if he had lost a lot of energy: "The golden light of merit on the kid comes from the elders in the family, but it has nothing to do with this Juren who is related to it by blood. It should come from its mother clan..."

"Master Lu, are you okay?" Li Qingzhi supported Lu Mingshan and held Lu Mingshan's wrist with one hand.

He was now almost certain that Lu Mingshan was sent by Li Zhu.

In this case, he must help Lu Mingshan.

It was a coincidence that a few days ago he helped Qian Fugui "disguise" and practiced how to turn his beard and hair white.

Li Qingzhi, who has been in better health recently, has a lot more energy in his body.

In his previous life, he had lived in the apocalypse for twenty years, and he had already become proficient in the use of energy.

As a result, everyone present saw that after Li Qingzhi supported Lu Mingshan, Lu Mingshan, who was already looking much weaker, trembled, and then one of his eyebrows suddenly turned white.

Chapter 212 Recognition

Lu Mingshan was extremely frightened when Li Qingzhi came to help him.

He had already experienced how strong Li Qingzhi was.

When Li Qingzhi held his wrist, he was particularly worried that Li Qingzhi would throw him out, and his body could not help shaking.

In the end, Li Qingzhi didn't do anything. He seemed to simply care about him, so he supported him.

Lu Mingshan breathed a sigh of relief, but his body was still trembling slightly. Fortunately, the people around him didn't notice anything wrong, thinking that he just consumed a lot of energy in the process of reading pictures.

This Taoist priest's eyebrows are all white!

He suddenly turned white right under their noses!

Is it normal for him to look a little tired now?

Everyone looked at Lu Mingshan with reverence. At this moment, everyone present felt that Lu Mingshan must be an expert.

One of Lu Daochang's eyebrows turned white, but he didn't know if it had any effect on him.

Also, it's important to get to know such a capable Taoist priest.

Everyone looked at Lu Mingshan with concern: "Taoist Priest, what's wrong with you?"

"Taoist Master, there is a chair over there. Please sit down."

"Taoist Priest..."

Du Yongning pushed aside the others and said to Lu Mingshan: "Taoist Master Lu, come sit over with me and I'll pour you a cup of tea."

These people looked at Lu Mingshan with eager eyes, but when they looked at Fan Weiyan, they only had disgust in their eyes.

They all heard what Lu Mingshan said just now, and they all guessed what was going on.

Fan Weiyan was Li Zhao's son-in-law, and Li Zhao's daughter who married Fan Weiyan was gone.

Fan Weiyan said that his ex-wife died of illness, but now it seems... her death may have something to do with Fan Weiyan.

Fan Weiyan even killed his own daughter!

Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, but Fan Weiyan was so good that he even harmed his own daughter!

They are ashamed to be associated with such people!

At this moment, Fan Weiyan was frightened.

He stared blankly at Lu Mingshan's suddenly white eyebrows and muttered to himself: "Impossible, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Fan Weiyan had always felt that he was so unlucky because someone was trying to harm him.

He even doubted King Jin like others. After all, "Escape from Famine" caused King Jin heavy losses. King Jin must have hated Li Zhao.

But Lu Mingshan not only revealed how his daughter was dressed on the day she died, but one of his eyebrows turned completely white in front of him!

Is this Taoist telling the truth?

So, is he so unlucky because of his daughter?

The ghost of his daughter sitting on his shoulder?

Fan Weiyan felt cold all over and his shoulders felt inexplicably heavy. He couldn't help but grab his shoulders with his hands.

His behavior made the people around him more and more convinced of one thing, that is, he had a guilty conscience, and they looked at him with more and more disgust.

Li Qingzhi knew that Fan Weiyan was finished.

Fan Weiyan told people everywhere that he was Li Zhao's son-in-law and sought benefits from it, so that many people who interacted with him had a favorable impression of Li Zhao.

Now that they know that he may have harmed Li Zhao's daughter, these people will naturally despise him.

In fact, even those who were not familiar with Fan Weiyan would despise him.

The book "Escape from Famine" is also sold in Jiang'an Province, but only scholars have read it, but it is different here in the capital.

Someone made a play about Li Zhao's story. In the capital, even ordinary people who couldn't read a single Chinese character had heard of Li Zhao.

Speaking of this matter... If Lu Mingshan was arranged by his sister, would the person who compiled Li Zhao's story into a play also be his sister?

His sister must be quite powerful in the capital for being able to torment Fan Weiyan like this.

Li Qingzhi had many thoughts in his mind. He let go of Lu Mingshan's hand and said to Fan Weiyan: "Fan Weiyan, you framed me before and I don't care about the fact that I have a low character, but now... your Did your ex-wife and your ex-wife's daughter really die of illness, or were they killed by you?"

As soon as Li Qingzhi said these words, everyone present looked at Fan Weiyan.

No one is on Fan Weiyan's side.

Fan Weiyan was an extremely ordinary person, with average family background and average knowledge. The only thing that made people think highly of him before was that he was Li Zhao's son-in-law.

But now...

If Li Zhao was still alive, he would probably want to kill him?

"I didn't kill him. It has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!" Fan Weiyan shouted. I just felt the cold wind blowing around me, and my daughter's cries were in my ears.

It is true that he did not kill his daughter, and he did not dare to take action, but he watched his daughter die.

Fan Weiyan looked like he had collapsed, and he was obviously very guilty. Li Qingzhi said again: "Everyone, how about we report to the official?"

He wanted to kill Fan Weiyan on the spot, but this was obviously impossible.

So... report it to the official.

"Yes! Report to the official!"

"You must report it to the official!"

"I'll ask my servants to report to the official!"

…

The people around him responded one after another, and while they were talking, some people called some servants to have Fan Weiyan turned around and sent to the government.

They don't want Fan Weiyan to stay here anymore!

Of course, they couldn't do nothing. Juren present took the pen and paper that he originally wanted to write poems and lyrics for at the plum appreciation party, and wrote some papers and poems accusing Fan Weiyan, and asked the servants to send them to the government together.

In fact, at this moment, even those servants don't want to come into contact with Fan Wei

He said that he was afraid that he would be as unlucky as Fan Weiyan if he was tainted with resentment.

But they had no choice but to listen to their master, so they could only endure their fear, bundled Fan Weiyan into a carriage, and then sent him to the government.

Fan Weiyan was taken away, but those present did not leave. They all gathered around Lu Mingshan, whose eyebrows turned white.

This is a Taoist priest who can see ghosts!

These people need to be very enthusiastic and enthusiastic.

Lu Mingshan didn't know why.

Others could see his eyebrows turning white, but he couldn't. He was quite puzzled at the moment - are all Juren so easy to deceive nowadays?

How come he just said a few words and all these people believed him?

Didn't they even doubt it? It is very possible that he was tricked by someone who knew what happened back then and was grateful to Li Zhao!

Lu Mingshan has always been prepared for people who don't believe him and question him, and he has even thought about what to say when the time comes.

As a result... no one questioned him!

What's going on with these people?

Lu Mingshan thought about it and finally thought of a possibility.

These scholars may all admire Li Zhao. After seeing Fan Weiyan's reaction and guessing the truth, they are willing to believe him even if they realize that he is a lie...

Yes, it must be so!

Look, Li Qingzhi knew he was a liar but didn't expose him!

Lu Mingshan thought so, and immediately said something bad about Fan Weiyan, and said that the kid had a golden light of merit and would not harm anyone. As long as he was not particularly close to Fan Weiyan, he would not be tainted with resentment, so they could rest assured...

Lu Mingshan gently comforted these scholars.

These people looked at his white eyebrows and felt a little uneasy. Du Yongning asked: "Taoist Master Lu, is there any way to ward off resentment?"

When Lu Mingshan heard this, he subconsciously wanted to sell the copper coins he had prepared, but... he looked at Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi smiled and said: "Taoist Master Lu, those of us who have little contact with Fan Weiyan don't need anything to resolve our grievances, but Fan Weiyan previously coaxed some people to stay with him all day long..."

As soon as Li Qingzhi said this, several of Fan Weiyan's friends immediately began to ask Lu Mingshan for help in resolving the situation.

It was also a coincidence that He Yi had told Lu Mingshan before about those people who were close to Fan Weiyan, and Lu Mingshan even disguised himself and secretly visited him once...

Now that Li Qingzhi clearly had no intention of exposing himself, Lu Mingshan suddenly became excited.

"Everyone, I can help you see that some people don't need to resolve their grievances, but some people do." Lu Mingshan recited "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord", and then asked those who had been in contact with Fan Weiyan to come to him one by one.

"What's the layman's name?" Lu Mingshan would ask every time someone came over, while looking at the person seriously, as if to see if there was any resentment in the other person.

Those candidates all answered obediently.

In order to let Lu Mingshan pretend to be a magic stick, He Yi helped Lu Mingshan collect a lot of information about the people who participated in the plum appreciation party. Lu Mingshan knew the information about the people around Fan Weiyan very well.

Most of the candidates, Lu Mingshan said they had no resentment, but when they met Fan Weiyan's friends...

There was a person with good character who approached Fan Weiyan because he liked Li Zhao. Lu Mingshan said: "This layman, you have a faint layer of resentment on your body. There are some copper coins that have been used for rituals here. You can please bring one with you." If you get more sun on your body, your resentment will disappear after seven days."

There was someone who was not a very good character and had bullied the people before. Lu Mingshan said: "This layman, you are very close to that person, and you are... I won't say anything even if you are a poor Taoist. You can use this copper coin." Take it, in addition to sunbathing more, you should also do more good deeds, so that you will not be affected."

During this period, if anyone asked Lu Mingshan about other things...those that had nothing to do with Fan Weiyan, Lu Mingshan would directly say that he was mainly busy with resentment today and would talk about other things later and push them away.

Those who are more closely involved with Fan Weiyan...Lu Mingshan knows their information, so what he says will naturally hit the nail on the head.

After Fan Weiyan came to the capital, he often went to see Fan Weiyan and helped Fan Weiyan several times. A Juren who lived in the capital asked Lu Mingshan about his future. Lu Mingshan said: "Father, I look at your face. You are a smart person, but you lack... With some diligence... spend more time on your shortcomings, and you will be able to pass the Jinshi exam soon!"

This man has great literary talent, but his calligraphy is not good... After hearing this, he felt that Lu Mingshan was a god, and he also made up his mind to improve his calligraphy.

Li Qingzhi stood nearby, silently watching Lu Mingshan cheat money.

After Lu Mingshan gave out the copper coins, these scholars were all very wise. From a few taels to a dozen or twenty taels, they all gave Lu Mingshan some silver coins.

In a short time, Lu Mingshan had defrauded more than one hundred taels of silver, and everyone felt more and more that he was very mysterious.

He Yi, who was mixed in the crowd: "..."

Li Zhu, who came to Mei Lin early, has been paying attention to the situation at the plum appreciation party: "..."

What's going on with Lu Mingshan?

When He Yi threatened Lu Mingshan to do things for them, Li Zhu was watching in the dark. They knew very well what kind of person Lu Mingshan was.

This guy is a complete liar.

In this case, why did his eyebrows suddenly turn white?

But this was a good thing for them, because Lu Mingshan's eyebrows suddenly turned white, and things went extremely smoothly, incredibly smoothly.

Li Zhu thought for a while and decided not to think about it anymore.

These days, she has been thinking about Fan Weiyan every day. She has not slept well and is feeling groggy. Now she can finally take a rest.

That disgusting person can never use her father's name to lie to others again!

Fan Weiyan has been sent to the government, he is finished!

Li Zhu wanted to laugh, but ended up crying.

She was crying when she suddenly heard the clear voice of a child reciting a poem: "...it fell into mud and dust, but only the fragrance remains the same."

This voice dragged Li Zhu out of his sadness and anger.

She covered herself with a veil and was still sitting in the sedan chair just to prevent others from knowing she was here. At this moment, she opened the sedan curtain and looked out through the gap.

Two women with three children and servants were walking this way, and the two boys who were reading poems were the two boys who were walking in the front and looked exactly the same.

No, it can't be said that they are pretty. The two boys have dark skin and look very healthy.

The key is...these two boys are very much like her younger brother. Her younger brother was like this when he was a child.

Li Zhu's eyes were attracted by the two children and he almost couldn't look away.

But even so, she still glanced at the two women who came out from behind a plum tree.

She knew both women.

One of them is shopkeeper Jin of Jinye Embroidery Workshop, and the other one... is that her aunt?

No, her aunt is not that young, and her aunt cannot be pregnant.

But that appearance... that's her aunt!

After she settled down, she sent someone to inquire about the Qian family, but her people told her that the Qian family had disappeared.

Where have Qian's family been over the years?

Her uncle cannot give birth, but her aunt is pregnant with a child. Could it be that she has remarried?

Where did these two children who looked very much like her brother come from?

"Mom, someone is watching us!" Li Damao was a very keen child, and he noticed Li Zhu's gaze.

When Jin Xiaoye heard this, he looked warily at a sedan not far away.

The sedan looked ordinary, but there were not only two bearers carrying the sedan, but also four maids standing next to it. The people inside should have some status.

Li Zhu took a deep breath and opened the sedan curtain: "Shopkeeper Jin, goodbye at the dock. It's been a long time."

Li Zhu wears a veil and dresses differently than before, but a beauty like her always impresses people.

Jin Xiaoye was a little surprised: "Shopkeeper Mu?"

"It's me," Li Zhu took off her veil, glanced at Mrs. Qian, and then said to Jin Xiaoye, "Shopkeeper Jin, I have booked a room in this village. Let's go over together and have some tea and chat?"

Of course Jin Xiaoye is willing to drink tea with the beauty, but there are many people here...

Jin Xiaoye was a little hesitant, but Mrs. Qian had already spoken: "Okay!"

Mrs. Qian was a little afraid to recognize Li Qingzhi when she saw him. After all, Li Qingzhi had changed too much.

But Li Zhu is different!

Although she hadn't seen her for more than ten years and her niece had grown up, Mrs. Qian could recognize her at a glance that she was her niece.

We must have tea together!

Madam Qian said so, so naturally Jin Xiaoye would not object.

Li Zhu put on her veil and said, "I'm not in good health, so I won't come down. Please follow me."

"No trouble." Jin Xiaoye smiled.

Mrs. Qian looked at Li Zhu worriedly - her niece was in poor health?

Mrs. Qian watched Li Zhu grow up, and she grew up in the Qian family until she was more than ten years old.

Mrs. Qian had no children before, she regarded Li Qingzhi as her son

See, naturally she regards Li Zhu as her daughter.

She had been worried about something happening to Li Zhu, but now she was indescribably happy to see Li Zhu alive.

The group soon arrived at the house that the owner of Zhuangzi had built and rented out to tourists.

Li Zhu did book a room here. What she booked was a small, independent house that was not big but had a yard.

After taking Jin Xiaoye and the others in, Li Zhu got down from the sedan.

She has calmed down a lot.

After entering the room, Li Zhu said to Mrs. Qian: "Madam, I want to talk to you alone."

Mrs. Qian couldn't wait to agree: "Okay!"

Jin Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that these two people should know each other. She said nothing more and watched them enter the next room.

After Li Zhu took Mrs. Qian into the room, she whispered: "Auntie."

She was a little afraid to recognize her at first, but then she saw the way Mrs. Qian looked at her... She immediately confirmed Mrs. Qian's identity.

"Zhu'er!" Mrs. Qian shouted, tears filling her eyes.

"Auntie, where have you been all these years? I sent people to look for you, but they said you were missing."

Mrs. Qian had a lot to ask Li Zhu, but Li Zhu had already asked her first, so she answered: "Zhu'er, we were deceived by the King of Yan who killed a thousand swords..."

Mrs. Qian spoke in a very soft voice. She told all the affairs of the Qian family over the years, of course focusing on Li Qingzhi's affairs.

"Azhi also survived a catastrophe and was destined to be blessed later. After that, he became enlightened and became very smart..." Mrs. Qian recounted Li Qingzhi's experience. Even the fact that Li Qingzhi was a loner was revealed. said.

She had absolute trust in this niece.

Li Zhu was shocked.

She didn't expect her brother to be so smart.

But if you think about it carefully, her brother has been a person with ideas since he was a child.

His younger brother had experienced fleeing famine and was captured by the King of Jin to mine. In addition, he was taught by a famous teacher, so it was reasonable for him to become a talented person.

No wonder Qingdu Sanren wrote so well about her father in the book. It turned out that the book was written by her brother!

No wonder those two children looked like her brother, they turned out to be her brother's children!

This is really great!

After Mrs. Qian finished talking about their experiences, she asked about Li Zhu's situation.

Li Zhu's tears kept falling.

If Mrs. Qian or her brother were ordinary, she wouldn't say anything, but now her brother is so powerful...

Li Zhu threw herself into Mrs. Qian's arms and began to talk about her experiences over the years.

Although Lu Qingxi would use it for anyone with talent, it was a thousand times more difficult for a woman to have the opportunity to display her talents than for a man.

It's not easy for her to get to where she is now.

If hatred hadn't supported her, she might have collapsed long ago!

"I'm so happy today, really happy..." Li Zhu said.

Today is the happiest day for her in years.

Fan Weiyan is finished, and she has found her relatives!

Li Qingzhi didn't know that his sister had already recognized Mrs. Qian.

While Lu Mingshan was helping people read faces, he walked around but did not see his sister. He did see the suspicious person, but he wasn't sure it was his sister's person.

In this case, he might as well keep an eye on Lu Mingshan and start looking for people from Lu Mingshan.

Speaking of which... Lu Mingshan only has one eyebrow white, and he always feels a little uncomfortable looking at it. One day, he might have the opportunity to whiten his other eyebrow.

When Li Qingzhi returned to Lu Mingshan, he saw that Lu Mingshan looked tired and said to the people around him: "Everyone, I am a little tired today. I'm afraid I won't be able to answer your questions anymore."

"Taoist Master, go and have a rest!"

"Where does the Taoist priest live? Shall I take you back?"

"Taoist Priest, I have booked a room at Zhuangzi, where would you like to take a rest?"

…

"The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the poor Taoist, has a place to stay." Lu Mingshan was not willing to go with these people. He still wanted to go to He Yi to get the remaining fifty taels of silver.

Although he earned almost two hundred taels of silver in addition, you can never have too much money!

Lu Mingshan picked up the heavy piece of silver, his heart filled with joy and his face calm.

At this time, Li Qingzhi stepped forward and said, "Taoist Master Lu, let me take you back."

After saying that, Li Qingzhi supported Lu Mingshan.

Lu Mingshan didn't want Li Qing to send him off!

But although Li Qingzhi is a civil servant, he has strange powers, and he is still under his control... Lu Mingshan did not dare to resist, so he could only say: "Then it will be troublesome for the layman."

"Me too." Du Yongning said.

Li Qingzhi squeezed Lu Mingshan hard.

Lu Mingshan said: "Jushi Du, stop. I asked Jushi Li to see me off. I have something to say to him alone."

I see! No wonder no one else agreed to send Lu Mingshan away, but Li Qingzhi agreed when he proposed it!

Du Yongning did not force it and watched Li Qingzhi leave with Lu Mingshan.

After the two of them left, the people who stayed behind all sighed: "Taoist Master Lu is so awesome!" "I think his ability is not inferior to that of Master Hongming from Xiangguo Temple."

"When Daoist Lu has rested well, I must ask Daoist Lu to help me take a closer look at his face!"

"Me too…"

…

Lu Mingshan didn't know that there was a lot of business waiting for him. He was forced by Li Qingzhi to leave the place where the plum appreciation party was held, and he asked Li Qingzhi: "Li Qingzhi, can you let go?"

"Not at the moment." Li Qing insisted.

Lu Mingshan silently handed the silver in his hand to Li Qingzhi: "Li Juren, I only have this little silver..."

"I don't want any money." Li Qing insisted.

Just don't need money! Lu Mingshan immediately took the money back.

Li Qingzhi said at this time: "Lu Mingshan, I want to know who arranged for you to come here. Please take me to meet that person."

Lu Mingshan wanted to cry: "You...you should still want my money."

Looking at Fan Weiyan's many misfortunes in the past few days, you can know that the person who asked him to do something is very capable. If he doesn't obey, they might kill him!

He can't afford to offend those people!

Chapter 213 Frankness

Li Qingzhi felt that the person behind Lu Mingshan was probably Li Zhu. He wanted to see Li Zhu and wanted to know how his sister had been doing these years.

Judging from the current situation, his little niece has passed away, and he doesn't know how painful and uncomfortable his sister is...

Li Qingzhi has children, and he knows that for parents who love their children, they would rather have something happen to themselves than to their children.

Some people just pick on the weak.

"Daozhang Lu, I know the person who asked you to do something, just take me there." Li Qingzhi comforted Lu Mingshan.

But Lu Mingshan was unwilling to do anything, and in the end he even said to death: "There is no one behind me!"

Li Qingzhi: "..."

While the two were talking, He Yi arrived.

Lu Mingshan tensed up when he saw He Yi. When Li Qingzhi saw He Yi, he immediately recognized him: "He Yi?"

After the original owner's father redressed the injustice for the He family and brought the person who killed He Yi's sister to justice, He Yi often sent fruits and vegetables to their family.

A housewife like Li Zhu had little contact with He Yi, but the original owner was a person who liked to run out and deal with various chores, so naturally she knew He Yi.

He Yi often looked for work in the county town. When the two met in the city, they would say hello to each other.

In addition, the original owner's father recruited civilian laborers to help with work before and after the flood, and He Yi also came to help.

Li Qingzhi knew He Yi, but He Yi didn't know Li Qingzhi. Li Qingzhi directly called him by name, which made him a little alert.

But Li Zhu sent a message and asked him to take Li Qingzhi back...

He Yi had been watching the activities at the Plum Appreciation Party and did not meet Li Zhu. He only knew that Li Zhu asked him to take Li Qingzhi there. He didn't know the reason, so he just said: "Li Juren, my shopkeeper invites you. past."

"You lead the way." Li Qingzhi immediately let go of Lu Mingshan.

At this time, Lu Mingshan was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Li Qingzhi actually knew the person who was looking for him to do something!

They actually asked Li Qingzhi to come over!

Of course, the most important thing now is not this matter... Lu Mingshan chased after him and asked He Yi eagerly: "Master He, my money, and my apprentice..."

He Yi looked at Lu Mingshan.

His people pretended to be servants and mingled in the plum appreciation party, so they naturally saw Lu Mingshan's performance at the plum appreciation party.

One of Lu Mingshan's eyebrows suddenly turned white, which made him feel nervous, and now he frowned and looked at Lu Mingshan.

Lu Mingshan immediately showed a flattering smile.

Seeing this, He Yi felt relieved and said to the people around him: "Take him to his apprentice."

He and Li Zhu did not intend to kill Lu Mingshan, but according to the original plan, they would send Lu Mingshan out of the capital after Lu Mingshan accomplished the task.

But now he doesn't have time, so let's lock Lu Mingshan and his little apprentice together first. He Yi's men responded and left with Lu Mingshan.

He Yi then led Li Qingzhi forward and asked Li Qingzhi: "Do you know me?"

When he was investigating Fan Weiyan, he got to know Li Qingzhi by the way.

This man is Jieyuan from Jiang'an Province and came to the capital with the Shen family's fleet.

He has not met Li Qingzhi during this period. In the past few years... Since Li Qingzhi was studying in Jiang'an Province to take the examination, he would definitely not come to the capital and would not have met him.

That being the case, how did this person recognize him?

Is he from Yu County?

"You want to take me to see Li Zhu?" There was no one else around, so Li Qingzhi asked directly.

In fact, now that Li Zhao has been rehabilitated, even if Li Zhu's identity is exposed, it won't matter much.

Fan Weiyan can now swagger around the capital!

Of course, it is best not to expose him, otherwise someone will surely guess that Fan Weiyan has been unlucky because of Li Zhu's setup. King Jin and King Yan may also come to trouble Li Zhu.

"You'll know when you get there." He Yi said, he suspected that Li Qingzhi might be a relative of the Li family, or a classmate of the eldest young master of the Li family.

He paid a lot of attention to the Li family back then, but what he remembered most clearly was the second young master of the Li family. He was not very familiar with the eldest young master of the Li family, and he didn't know any of the eldest young master's friends.

The eldest young master of the Li family is devoted to his studies and rarely appears in front of them. The second young master is different. The second young master has been studying with his master since he was fourteen or fifteen years old. They can often see the second young master running outside.

But at this moment, He Yi had no intention of reminiscing with Li Qingzhi. Li Qingzhi was anxious to see Li Zhu, which made him a little dissatisfied with Li Qingzhi.

What is the relationship between this person and the Li family?

Li Zhu ordered someone to find Li Qingzhi, and then continued talking to Mrs. Qian.

Mrs. Qian had only given a general outline before, but now she added some details, such as that they had been looking for Li Zhu.

There is also how promising Li Qingzhi is now.

Li Qingzhi even helped Qian Fugui cure his illness, and Qian Changsheng's illness was also cured!

Li Zhu was happy to hear this, but she also felt vaguely that something was wrong.

In just seven years, her brother had changed so much? How can I still have a photographic memory?

Just smashing the head, can the change really be so big?

Li Zhuzheng was confused when he heard a knock on the door, and then He Yi's voice sounded: "Miss, Li Qingzhi is here."

Mrs. Qian said: "Let Ah Zhi come in quickly!" Li Qingzhi must be thinking about his sister, and Li Zhu must also be thinking about this younger brother!

The door was opened, Li Qingzhi and He Yi walked in together, and closed the door.

Mrs. Qian saw Li Qingzhi and said happily: "Azhi, your sister is fine!"

Li Qingzhi has already seen Li Zhu, so he naturally knows that Li Zhu is fine. This is the situation now...

Li Zhu, who had been crying before, with red and swollen eyes, looked at Li Qingzhi with a cold face: "Who are you?"

While speaking, Li Zhu also winked at He Yi.

Without thinking, He Yi took Li Qingzhi's hand and twisted it behind Li Qingzhi.

It is very simple for Li Qingzhi to deal with He Yi, but if he fights with He Yi at this time, the explanation will be unclear.

Li Qingzhi did not struggle and was actively "controlled" by He Yi. Then, he smiled at Li Zhu and said in the accent of the original owner: "Sister, listen to my explanation."

Li Zhu was slightly startled when he heard the familiar voice.

Li Qingzhi said again: "Auntie, please go out first. I have something to say with my sister." There were some things that he didn't want Mrs. Qian to know.

Moreover, Mrs. Qian is pregnant with a child, so it is not a good thing to be involved.

Mrs. Qian's face was full of confusion, and her doubtful eyes wandered over Li Zhu and Li Qingzhi.

"Auntie, please go out first and I'll talk to him," Li Zhu said.

Mrs. Qian then left.

After Mrs. Qian left, Li Qingzhi said directly: "I turned Lu Mingshan's eyebrows white."

Both Li Zhu and He Yi knew that one of Lu Mingshan's eyebrows turned white. Is this Li Qing's fault? How did he do it?

Li Qing insisted: "Sister, I don't know what happened. After being hit on the head and almost dying, I have a special ability that can change a person's appearance."

If it were Li Qingzhi who had just traveled to this world, he would definitely not tell anyone this.

But now, he has fully embraced his identity.

And there are some abilities that he cannot use without using them. If he uses them, people around him will know about them.

Jin Xiaoye, who was sleeping with him, couldn't have noticed something strange about him, but Jin Xiaoye believed him, so he didn't ask or say anything.

Li Zhu is his biological sister, so she can actually be believed.

And judging from Li Zhu's appearance, she has certain power in the capital. If he wants to take action against King Jin and King Yan, he needs to rely on Li Zhu.

He came here not long ago and has not yet been able to train enough manpower.

As for He Yi... In fact, when he was in Yu County, the original owner could tell that He Yi was interested in Li Zhu.

However, the identities of the two were too different at that time, so He Yi did nothing. The original owner saw it and just pretended not to know.

Now that the two of them are together, Li Zhu still leaves important matters to He Yi... He Yi should also be trustworthy.

The biggest advantage of his golden finger is that it can help people cure diseases... Qian Fugui and Qian Changsheng have learned this a long time ago, and there is no need to hide it from Li Zhu.

"Sister, I am really Azhi. If you don't believe me, you can ask me some questions," Li Qing insisted, then looked at He Yi, "He Yi, please let me go. You hold my hand, I feel uncomfortable." ."

He Yi looked at Li Zhu, and finally let go of Li Qingzhi at Li Zhu's signal.

Li Qingzhi sat where Mrs. Qian was sitting before and took the snacks on the table to eat: "Sister, no matter what the question is, just ask, I am really your second brother."

Li Qingzhi's current appearance is completely different from his original appearance, but that's not true.

But he only has three points of resemblance to before.

Mrs. Qian and the others had only seen the original owner before puberty, so they were not surprised by his appearance, but Li Zhu and He Yi would definitely be confused after seeing him when he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

Fortunately, it can be explained.

Li Zhu immediately started asking questions.

There are many things that only their brothers and sisters know and others do not. Li Qingzhi answered all these questions!

"Where is my little brother's birthmark? What does it look like?" Li Zhu asked again.

Li Qing said: "At the root of the thigh, there is a piece the size of a fly, like a small gourd."

There is indeed nothing wrong with that...

Li Zhu fell into deep thought, and Li Qingzhi looked at He Yi again: "He Yi, I always remember you. I talked to you that time when I went to dig ditches..."

Li Qingzhi told some things about He Yi, including what He Yi said to him alone.

Speaking of the later, Li Qing insisted: "That time we met in Minli Village, you asked me about my sister..."

He Yi immediately said: "Miss, everything he said is right."

Li Qingzhi finally realized that He Yi was not his brother-in-law. He smiled at He Yi and took the initiative to say to Li Zhu: "Sister, let me show you my ability to change my appearance."

Li Zhu and He Yi looked at Li Qingzhi together. Is there really anyone in this world who can change their appearance? So magical?

"I turned Lu Mingshan's eyebrows white before. This time I will make a pimple out for you." Li Qing pointed at his face, and then Li Zhu saw that a pimple suddenly appeared from Li Qing's face. Qing Zhi's face grew...

Li Qingzhi gave himself a pimple and did nothing.

He has no strength left.

"Sister, this is how I am now. I can change a little bit about myself or other people's appearance. I adjusted my face. At that time, I was afraid that someone would recognize me." Li Qing insisted.

Li Zhu and He Yi now completely believed in Li Qingzhi, but when such a magical thing happened in front of them, they were both a little confused.

Li Qingzhi added: "If I hadn't had this ability, I might have died in the quarry long ago and would not have come back alive. And...sister, in addition to this ability, I also had a photographic memory. ability."

Li Qingzhi chatted with Li Zhu for a long time, and by the way, he showed his left hand sign, which was regarded as claiming his identity as a lonely individual.

Throughout the process, Li Qingzhi was observing Li Zhu and He Yi, and he became more and more convinced of one thing - these two people were trustworthy.

Li Zhu had already confirmed Li Qingzhi's identity. She hugged Li Qingzhi and cried: "Azhi..."

He Yi was a little jealous of Li Qingzhi before, but now... his attitude towards Li Qingzhi is nothing short of good.

"Sister, it's okay, it's okay..." Li Qingzhi comforted Li Zhu and asked: "Sister, what have you encountered in these years?"

Li Qingzhi deliberately showed some of Li Zhi's escapism before, but when both parties were honest, he seemed to be more stable.

Li Zhu repeated what he had said to Mrs. Qian before, and said: "I am really useless. I haven't accomplished anything for several years. If it weren't for Azhi, you wrote "The Record of Injustice" and "The Record of Escape". ", King Jin might still be prosperous now."

"Sister, you are already very powerful." Li Qingzhi praised Li Zhu and said, "Sister, since I have special powers, I need to eat a lot. I'm hungry."

Not only was he hungry, Jin Xiaoye and the others must also be impatient.

He Yi immediately said: "I'll go prepare food right away."

Not long after, He Yi had someone deliver a table of hot dishes, plus the food brought by Li Qingzhi and the others... the lunch was still very sumptuous.

It's just that Li Qingzhi ate a little too much.

Others were not surprised. Li Zhu and He Yi thought of what Li Qingzhi had said before, and gave Li Qingzhi food several times to ask him to eat more.

"What happened before?" Mrs. Qian asked.

Li Qingzhi asked Zhang Zao and others to take several children and Li Laogen to eat on the other side. He sat at the same table with Li Zhuheyi, Jin Xiaoye and Mrs. Qian. When he heard Mrs. Qian's question, he said: "Auntie , I have changed a lot in the past few years, and my sister is a little wary."

"Auntie, it's all my fault. I've been very tired these years, so I've been suspicious." Li Zhu apologized.

"It's none of your business," Mrs. Qian said immediately, "Azhu, you have suffered."

Jin Xiaoye already knew Li Zhu's identity, but she didn't say much. She just glanced at Li Zhu from time to time while eating.

Her eldest aunt is really beautiful, several times prettier than her younger siblings.

Li Zhu originally liked Jin Xiaoye, but now that she knows that she is his sister-in-law, she loves Jin Xiaoye even more.

She had heard Li Qingzhi say that if it hadn't been for Jin Xiaoye, even if Li Qingzhi escaped from the quarry, he might not have survived.

The meal was a little late, it was already mid-afternoon, and it was time for them to go back.

Li Zhu heard this and said, "I'll go back with you." She still had many things to say to Li Qingzhi.

As for what she originally planned to do, spread rumors about Fan Weiyan... let He Yi arrange it!

On this day, many things happened in Zhuangzi, which was full of plum blossoms. Many things also happened in the capital.

Qian Fugui went to see Prince Yan despite the large eye bags, dark circles and white hair that Li Qingzhi had made for him.

Prince Yan was shocked when he saw Qian Fugui's appearance.

You must know that when he met Qian Fugui at the end of last year, Qian Fugui looked suave and personable, and he looked younger than his actual age.

But now...Qian Fugui suddenly aged more than ten years.

Prince Yan had previously thought that Qian Fugui might be pretending to be ill because he had been ill for so long - he had arranged for someone to take over Yulong Trading Company, and Qian Fugui might have refused to help him because of this.

However, this suspicion was dispelled after seeing Qian Fugui.

Qian Fugui was obviously really sick.

Prince Yanjun talked a lot with Qian Fugui, asking Qian Fugui to find ways to help him make money.

Qian Fugui was a little hesitant: "Your Majesty, I'm not in good health lately, so I'm afraid I won't be able to take on big responsibilities..."

"Shopkeeper Qian, don't you want to avenge your wife and nephew? I have found out that the person who killed them is Lu Qingxi. This year, Lu Qingxi has been causing trouble for me..." Prince Yan said Quite a few.

Qian Fugui seemed to think about it for a while, and then said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will help you get things done!"

Prince Yan spoke to Qian Fugui again and gave Qian Fugui some money to open a store.

As for what kind of store to open, it is decided by money and wealth.

Qian Fugui said: "My lord, if you want to make money quickly, you can sell jewelry and rouge and gouache. There will be an examination next year, and many candidates will come to the capital. Many families will take this opportunity to see their daughters' husbands... …A young lady from the capital will definitely dress up."

The next step will be the Chinese New Year, and then there will be the test. The capital will definitely hold banquets one after another. By then, the demand for rouge gouache will definitely be great.

The key is that there are many ways here. You can buy a large jar of rouge from the south for one tael of silver and put it in beautiful boxes. If you can sell a small box for two taels of silver, you can make a lot of money.

Prince Yan thought it made sense, and immediately asked Qian Fugui to open a shop selling jewelry and rouge and gouache.

Qian Fugui responded with a smile.

He gave Prince Yan such an idea, of course, not to make Prince Yan make money.

Didn't Jin Xiaoye bring a lot of soap jewelry to the capital? He will find a way to make the jewelry and soap on Jin Xiaoye's hands the favorite things of the ladies in the capital, causing Prince Yan to suffer a heavy loss!

Qian Fugui was already thinking about how to plot against Prince Yan.

Jin Xiaoye will suffer a loss if he has no background, so it is best for Jin Xiaoye's shop to be opened with someone from Lu Qingxi. That very powerful shopkeeper Mu is very suitable for cooperation.

After Qian Fugui left, King Yan had another discussion with his husband.

While they were discussing, someone came: "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace."

Although King Yan's mother is dead, she left some people for King Yan, and some of them are still in the palace.

Prince Yan didn't know everything about the news in the palace, but he knew a general idea.

When he heard that there was news from the palace, Prince Yan immediately sent someone to deliver it. After seeing it, his expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Prince Yan's husband asked.

Prince Yanjun said: "Sir, that sick man wants to officially adopt that bastard in the palace during the Chinese New Year!"

In the middle of last year, Lu Qingxi took a child back to the palace and raised it with Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu Guifei liked the child very much and protected the child like an eyeball, and he grew up healthily.

The child is now one and a half years old. He loves to eat, laugh and is very lively. He can already walk and talk. I heard that he calls Concubine Liu Guifei mother.

Before, the emperor only raised him and did not formally adopt him. But now, the emperor wants to give him the status of a prince.

If the emperor really wants to have a prince, what will happen between him and Prince Jin? King Yanjun couldn't accept this, so his words were very unpleasant.

Prince Yan's husband also had the same idea: "If this thing is really going to happen, no matter how much we do, it will all be in vain!"

Now in addition to the emperor, there are three parties in the capital.

Because King Jin's behavior was not very good, there were actually fewer and fewer people supporting him. Prince Yan felt that if this consumption continued, King Jin would be exhausted sooner or later, and then he and Lu Qingxi would be the only ones left.

Without the child in the palace, Lu Qingxi would have nothing to care about as a eunuch, but now the emperor is going to have a prince!

By then, more and more people will definitely put their chips on Lu Qingxi.

"Sir, let's take action." Prince Yan said.

His husband didn't hesitate: "Let's do it."

They had long considered taking action against that child, and now...it was time.

Li Qingzhi and the others didn't know much about what happened between the big shots.

Li Zhu followed Li Qingzhi to Li Qingzhi's residence, planning to sleep with Mrs. Qian tonight and have a good chat.

Of course before that, they had to have dinner.

Li Zhu was not hungry at all, so he couldn't eat anything. But Li Qingzhi was different, he ate a lot.

There was still time after eating, so Li Qingzhi took Jin Xiaoye to chat with Li Zhu.

Li Zhu has the background and skills. If Jin Xiaoye wants to open Jincui Building, Li Zhu can definitely help.

In the past, it was only because of Li Zhu that the products of Jinye Embroidery Shop became popular in the capital. Now their glass jewelry and soaps will definitely make the people of the capital flock to them.

This was his brother's property, so Li Zhu was naturally willing to help. Together, the three of them quickly discussed what to do.

They even plan to find an auspicious day to open Jin Cui Building as soon as possible.

"Before I open the business, I will take the things to Eunuch Lu and ask him to give them to Concubine Liu. There is no queen today, and Concubine Liu has been taking care of the harem. A few years ago, she would meet many people. As long as she wears Glass jewelry, noble ladies in the capital will surely imitate it," Li Zhu said.

The glass made by Qian Fugui is not very good in texture and is easily broken. It is not suitable for making bracelets or anything like that, but it is perfectly fine for inlaying.

Many gemstones at this time are not as beautiful as glass... Glass is definitely popular.

Chapter 214 Concubine Liu

That night, after discussing with Li Zhu about opening a shop, Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye returned to their room.

Jin Xiaoye dug the pimples on Li Qingzhi's face with his hands: "Why do you suddenly have pimples on your face?"

Li Qingzhi's skin is fair and tender, and he never gets acne on his face.

Not only did Li Qingzhi not grow long, she also didn't grow long.

Jin Xiaoye knew this was abnormal, but she didn't ask.

Li Qingzhi is her husband and the father of her two sons. He has always been very kind to her, but he actually has nothing to ask.

She assumed that Li Qingzhi really knew how to cure diseases.

Li Qingzhi was able to cure Qian Fugui and Qian Changsheng's problems that all the famous doctors couldn't cure. If they don't get acne, what are they?

Speaking of which, her parents' health was not very good at first, but it has gotten better and better in the past two years.

Not talking about her parents, let's talk about Li Qingzhi herself. The doctor said at the beginning that Li Qingzhi would not live long. As a result, Li Qingzhi not only survived, but also became healthier and healthier. The crooked bones in her hands were all gone. Straight back.

Li Qing insisted: "I have forgotten about this acne. I will get rid of it."

After resting for a long time, the energy in Li Qingzhi's body had recovered, and he could easily eliminate the acne on his face.

Jin Xiaoye looked at Li Qingzhi without saying a word.

Li Qingzhi coughed lightly: "Xiaoye, I now have special abilities. I can treat people's illnesses and change their appearance. Do you need anything?"

Jin Xiaoye asked: "Can you make me stronger?"

Li Qingzhi: "..." His wife's request was really different. He thought that his wife would want to be lighter!

Since Jin Xiaoye made the request, he must complete it, but this is a big project... "Xiaoye, I will take my time."

Of course he could increase Jin Xiaoye's strength, but it was impossible to break through the human limit. He also had to consider Jin Xiaoye's health and appearance...

In addition, Jin Xiaoye also needs to cooperate with exercise, otherwise everything will be in vain.

The two had a good night's sleep. When Li Qing woke up the next day, Chang Zhan's two students were already cooking in the kitchen.

They didn't have to go far today, so they just made porridge for breakfast.

In the middle of winter, eating some hot soup is the most comfortable!

The porridge was preserved egg and lean meat porridge, and in addition to that, they also made some cabbage and pork patties.

The cabbage is cooked to remove the moisture and mixed with the pork to make a filling and stir-fry, then wrapped in dough to make pancakes and then fried...it tastes delicious!

Li Zhu was in a good mood, so he thought everything was delicious: "This noodle cake is really good, comparable to the noodle cakes sold at Qingyun Tower."

After saying that, she thought of something and looked at Li Qingzhi: "Azhi, Duan Jin..." Everyone thought that Duan Jin was Governor Zhang's before, but now think about it...

What Duan Jin brought to the capital at first was the book of Qing Du San, and the Qing Du San was Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi whispered: "Duan Jin is my friend, and the master of the cook at home is Duan Jin's younger brother."

Li Qingzhi's voice was very soft and could only be heard by people around him. After Li Zhu heard it, he felt more and more that his brother was not simple.

With her brother here, revenge should be much easier.

All along, Li Zhu's goal has been clear-she wants revenge.

When the Li family was beheaded, her second brother was no longer in Yu County, but she was.

She watched her parents, siblings being killed!

Li Zhu had a lot of things to do, so she left after breakfast. When she left, she wore men's clothes, a hat and a scarf.

The baggy clothes made it impossible to tell that she was actually a woman.

Li Qingzhi followed Li Zhu out the door after he left. As soon as he went out, he met several old ladies and old men chatting with their children in their arms.

The children in their arms really wanted to go out and play and didn't want to listen to their chat. They were squirming and humming, but the uncle and aunt were unmoved and continued to chat.

When they saw Li Qingzhi, they extended their hands to greet him and asked, "Li Juren, did you go to the plum appreciation party yesterday?"

"Here we go." Li Qing insisted.

"Then you must know what happened to Fan Weiyan, right? I heard that he was unlucky because he killed his daughter. Yesterday, many people saw the ghost of his daughter!" The uncle and aunt looked curious.

Li Qingzhi: "..." No one really saw his niece's appearance. His sister asked Lu Mingshan to do this just to expose the truth to the world and make Fan Weiyan pay the price.

Li Qing said: "I didn't see anything, and neither did the other candidates. Only Taoist Master Lu saw it. It was like this at that time..."

After hearing this, these uncles and aunts were filled with emotion: "Daozhang Lu is so awesome!"

"I also want Director Lu to show me his face."

"I don't know where Director Lu is now."

"That Fan Weiyan deserves to die!"

…

News spreads slowly these days, but what happened at yesterday's plum appreciation party happened at noon, and it's been a long time now!

Those who are well-informed in the capital already know what happened yesterday.

What ordinary people hear is an exaggerated plot. Rumors, they always become more exaggerated as they spread.

But those powerful people in the capital heard the news first-hand, and therefore, they became more and more curious about Lu Mingshan.

They all want to ask Lu Mingshan to take a look at their faces, or to see if their own house is good, if their ancestral graves are good, etc.

They also wanted to buy some magic weapons from Lu Mingshan that could dispel their resentment.

I don't know where Lu Mingshan is.

Lu Mingshan was imprisoned by He Yi.

He and his young apprentice were imprisoned in He Yi's residence.

He Yi didn't do anything wrong to him, he just had breakfast delivered to him.

When Lu Mingshan heard the noise, he didn't want to get up from the bed and open the door to get breakfast, so he coaxed his apprentice to get it: "Good disciple, your master and I were tired yesterday and couldn't get up. You go and help master get breakfast." "

Teacher Lu Wang responded and went to get the meal. After getting the meal, he quickly returned to the bed and got into the quilt.

When He Yi came to see them, he saw the master and the apprentice sitting on the bed eating noodles.

He Yi: "..." It's already late. These two people haven't gotten up yet?

Seeing He Yi, Lu Mingshan immediately asked: "Master, how long will we stay here? And my money..."

He Yi gave him five ingots and twelve taels of silver, and then said: "You have to stay here for a few more days. After waiting for a while, I will send you out of the capital. During this period, you should be more peaceful."

"Thank you, sir! I will stay here obediently," Lu Mingshan said quickly. He doesn't dare to go out and cause trouble. If someone accidentally discovers that he is a fake Taoist priest, he may die! Seeing that Lu Mingshan was very obedient, He Yi was about to walk out. At this time, Lu Mingshan asked: "Master, what's wrong with my eyebrows?"

Before Lu Mingshan came back, he didn't know that his eyebrows were white.

He didn't know about it until Master Lu Wang told him.

But he didn't know the reason, so now that he met He Yi, he asked.

He Yi said: "I asked people to make your eyebrows white, so that others will trust you more."

Lu Mingshan didn't know when it was time for these people to turn his eyebrows white, but just because he didn't know, he became more in awe of these people and dared not resist.

After He Yi left, Lu Mingshan continued to eat noodles. After finishing the meal, he hurriedly shrank into bed, and then said to his apprentice: "My good disciple, master will tell you what happened yesterday again! You don't know, there was a group of people yesterday." People gathered around me and begged me to read their fortunes!"

The master and apprentice were chatting in bed, neither wanting to get up.

It was too cold that day. Fortunately, the servants in this mansion were nice and burned a kang for them.

When Lu Mingshan was telling his apprentice what happened yesterday, in the palace, Lu Qingxi was also telling the emperor what happened yesterday.

After hearing this, Qi Jun was furious: "That Fan Weiyan is simply not a human being!"

Qi Jun's heirs were in trouble, and he loved even the second princess who was born to him by a woman he disliked very much.

Now that he learned that someone had killed his own daughter... he was disgusted with Fan Weiyan, and immediately asked someone to investigate the matter.

The emperor obviously didn't like Fan Weiyan. Lu Qingxi planned to give a hint when he ordered his men to do things later, asking them to deal with Fan Weiyan more seriously.

After talking about Fan Weiyan, Lu Qingxi talked about something else.

The emperor listened to some political affairs and asked Lu Qingxi to pay attention to those candidates who came to Beijing to take the exam.

Some of the candidates who went to Beijing to take the exams had little money, so their lives were not very good, and they even had to live in dilapidated temples.

There have been cases in which people almost froze to death.

Lu Qingxi said that he would definitely make arrangements for those Juren and send cotton-padded clothes and quilts to Juren whose families were in difficulty.

Finally, Lu Qingxi asked the child in the palace.

This child was from the clan, so naturally his surname was Qi, so the emperor named him Qi'an.

The name is very simple, but from this name, you can see Qi Jun's expectations for this child.

He hoped the child was safe.

Qi'an was still young and a bit noisy, but the emperor was not energetic. In the previous year, the emperor and Qi'an didn't get along much.

But Concubine Liu always brought Qi An to the emperor to play with him, and the emperor began to like Qi An more and more.

Prince Jin has done a lot of bad things over the years. Prince Yan is not as stupid as Prince Jin, but he is too cruel. Prince Yan's mother is still the person the emperor hates the most...

The emperor's balance has been tilting towards Qi'an, and he wants to make Qi'an the prince.

But... despite making such a decision, the emperor was still a little uneasy.

He made Qi'an the crown prince, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction among many people.

In addition... Qi'an is too young. Even if he ascends to the throne, he may not be able to secure the throne.

Thinking of this, the emperor wanted to see Taoist Lu who saw through Fan Weiyan at a glance.

He wanted Director Lu to show Qi An's face, and he wanted to know what the future of Da Qi would be like.

The emperor was thinking about this matter when someone suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, it's bad, something happened to the young master!"

Qi'an was just brought into the palace to be raised. He had not yet become a prince, so people in the palace always called him "Qi'an".

Call him "little master".

Hearing this, Lu Qingxi's expression changed drastically, and the emperor quickly asked: "What happened?"

The person who came to report shivered: "The palace servant who brought charcoal to the imperial concubine suddenly got angry and threw the charcoal towards the little prince. The little prince was burned."

The emperor asked again: "Where did you get burned?"

The palace man couldn't stop shaking: "It's burned all over."

The emperor felt his blood rush to his head and fainted immediately. Seeing this, Lu Qingxi exclaimed: "Your Majesty!"

In fact, the emperor had thought about adopting a prince from the clan before, but he gave up later because the King of Jin was so powerful that the child he liked became lame.

The emperor gave Lu Qingxi such great power because he wanted to weaken the power of King Jin.

He thought that the current King Jin could no longer harm Qi An, but this was not the case.

The emperor fainted, Qi An was burned, and the entire palace was in chaos.

Originally, Concubine Liu Guifei was in charge, and many things in the palace could be left to her. However, she had raised Qi'an for a year and a half and had regarded Qi'an as her own child. Now her child was burned and her life and death were at stake. I don't know, how can she have the mind to do other things?

As a result, everything fell on Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi could not leave the palace, but he spread the news from the palace to his subordinates.

Li Zhu brought back a lot of glass jewelry, and was about to talk to Lu Qingxi and ask Lu Qingxi to send them to the palace, when he learned the news, and his expression suddenly changed.

If something happens to Qi'an, who will be the emperor next?

Will he be the King of Jin or the King of Yan County?

Li Zhu felt that if the person sitting on the throne was herself, she would definitely not let King Jin or King Yan ascend the throne, and she would even kill these two people early!

But the current Holy Emperor is a somewhat too soft-hearted person.

He promised the late emperor not to kill Prince Yan, and he really didn't. He didn't even imprison Prince Yan!

Because of his poor health, the late emperor appointed the former king of Jin as regent.

King Xian Jin... In the early years when the late emperor doted on the late emperor's concubine and made all kinds of mischief, the first king contacted the court officials and gained huge power in the court. He just pretended to be harmless in front of the late emperor. Once the late emperor died, He took over the power and didn't take Jinshang seriously, and he still bullied Jinshang.

As a result, after the previous Jin King died suddenly, the emperor was still willing to make Jin King his heir.

For such an emperor, who knows whether he will let King Jin or King Yan ascend the throne for the sake of the stability of the court or other things?

And if they really get to that point, how can they take revenge?

Li Zhu turned pale with anger.

She suddenly thought of something - her brother could cure Qian Fugui and Qian Changsheng. In that case, could he cure the emperor?

If the emperor is in good health, what do the King of Jin and the King of Yan mean? The emperor might even have a biological child.

But the emperor has long been terminally ill, and Li Qingzhi may not be able to cure him.

It would be too dangerous for Li Qingzhi to do this!

What if the emperor's health fails and Li Qingzhi is blamed?

In the end, Li Zhu suppressed his thoughts and only asked He Yi to tell Li Qingzhi about the matter.

Li Qingzhi was also stunned when he found out about this.

Before he came to the capital, he had thought about what he was going to do.

He wanted to get into the imperial examination and then find an opportunity to contact the emperor so that the emperor could live a few more years. Then he wanted to find a way to become the teacher of the young master in the palace and teach a good emperor.

As a result...the future little prince was burned?

Some modern business wars are turned into poisoning, stealing official seals, etc. There is no conspiracy at all. At this time, people's struggle for power is also incredibly direct.

They directly assassinated the future little prince!

Li Qingzhi had already heard about the emperor's situation. After something happened to the future little prince, the emperor might become ill and lose his life!

When the time comes, who will the ministers of the DPRK support to become emperor? It couldn't be Lu Qingxi anyway!

Li Zhu didn't want to see this happen, and neither did Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi even wanted to volunteer and go into the palace to save people!

But he knew this wouldn't work.

First of all, his golden finger is very weak. Now there are two patients in the palace, and he may not be able to cure them.

Secondly...it's okay for his specialness to be known by his relatives. If the whole world knows about it, he will most likely lose his freedom in the future.

His family will certainly be under guard as well.

He didn't want to be imprisoned in the palace and become a tool for the emperor, Lu Qingxi and others to keep healthy!

Of course, he is overthinking these things now. If he wants to treat the emperor or the future little prince, they may not be willing or believe him.

If King Jin or King Yan is really going to ascend the throne, he may have no choice but to stay away from the capital, and then find ways to train more manpower to speed up the rebellion.

Daqi needs a revolution. Only in this way can we usher in equality and not be suppressed by other countries that have begun to develop.

Li Qingzhi took out a pen and paper and started practicing calligraphy to calm his chaotic mind.

The palace was in chaos now, and it was too early to say anything. He could do nothing for the time being and could only wait quietly for news from the palace.

After practicing calligraphy for a while, Li Qingzhi's heart could not calm down. He took a deep breath and planned to go out for a walk.

Walking can also calm a person's mind and help him make decisions.

royal palace.

The emperor has not yet woken up, and a group of imperial doctors are treating him.

Lu Qingxi was supposed to stay with the emperor, but he didn't because Liu Guifei went crazy.

Either she is really crazy, or the gentle and elegant Concubine Liu Guifei is causing trouble.

Lu Qingxi came to Liu Guifei's palace and saw Liu Guifei smashing things: "Qi Jun, that bastard, I have asked him to eradicate it, but he just won't do it!"

"That woman killed my daughter, and her son killed my son!"

"I should have killed that little bitch long ago!"

"Qi Jun deserves to be angry to death! He deserves it!"

…

There was no one in Concubine Liu's palace, and there were confidants controlling her outside. No one else could hear what she said except Lu Qingxi who came to see her.

Lu Qingxi said helplessly: "Mother, you can't talk nonsense..."

"I'm telling the truth. Where is the nonsense? Qi Jun is not a good person. We suffered so much with him. You were seriously injured by that poisonous woman, and my child was harmed by that poisonous woman. Die, where is he? He kept that poisonous woman's son, and let that poisonous woman's son harm my An'an again!" Concubine Liu felt that the people who threw charcoal at Qi'an were from Prince Yan.

Qi An is actually not dead yet.

But he was still so young, and the charcoal fire had surrounded his whole body before... One of his faces was burned beyond recognition. According to the imperial doctor, he wouldn't live long.

Concubine Liu is older than the emperor. Along the way, she knows the difficulty of the emperor and knows that the emperor is a soft-hearted person. Therefore, she can understand the emperor in many things.

But now, she can't stand it anymore!

"Maybe it was King Jin who took action." Lu Qing said happily.

"Even if he is Prince Jin, why doesn't he kill Prince Jin? Prince Jin and his son are not good people, why doesn't Qi Jun kill them?" Concubine Liu screamed.

When she saw her daughter dying, Concubine Liu almost collapsed.

Concubine Liu Guifei couldn't stand it anymore when something happened to the child she had raised for a year and a half and had been taking care of herself.

Lu Qingxi actually couldn't bear it. In this situation... he would not end well when the emperor died!

He doesn't want to die, or even lose his current power.

"Why was it not Qi Jun who was in trouble, but my An An?"

"Prince Yan, Prince Jin, I will not let them go, I will not let them go!"

"I'm going to kill them! I'm going to kill them!"

"They all deserve to die!"

…

Concubine Liu also liked the emperor in her early years. After all, she lived in the palace with such a normal man beside her.

She naturally became Qi Jun's woman.

Later, the old emperor arranged for Qi Jun to get married, and she had no complaints. She watched Qi Jun get married, and then watched Qi Jun's wife become pregnant and give birth to a daughter.

But this is just the beginning!

The late emperor's concubine gave Qi Jun a woman, and the late emperor gave Qi Jun a few words, and Qi Jun got the woman pregnant!

That woman took advantage of the support of the late emperor and noble concubine to cause trouble for her!

Qi Jun's wife, the deceased queen, was not good-tempered either. She suffered a lot of hidden losses from the queen.

Indeed, Qi Jun liked her the most, but her life in the palace was not good, and her daughter was even killed!

She didn't know when she started to lose her initial love for Qi Jun, but after being together for so many years, she still had feelings for him.

She takes care of Qi Jun as her younger brother.

he

We have experienced so many things and have become inseparable.

but now…

Concubine Liu scolded her crazily for a long time. Lu Qingxi wanted to persuade her at first, but then stopped.

Finally, Concubine Liu stopped.

She asked Lu Qingxi: "How is he, Your Majesty?"

Lu Qingxi said: "He is still unconscious."

Tears kept falling on Concubine Liu's face, and she said, "Go and look at him, take good care of him, and don't let anything happen to him. I just told you nonsense..."

In other words, she didn't really want Qi Jun to die.

She hoped that Qi Jun would be well, and she was the child who took care of Qi Jun herself.

It's just that something happened to Qi'an. Qi'an was brought into the palace after she and Lu Qingxi discussed it. If they hadn't done this, Qi'an would be happy and healthy now and growing up beside her parents.

It was she who harmed Qi An.

She wished that it was Qi Jun who was in trouble and not Qi An, and she also wished that it was she who was in trouble and not Qi An.

She would rather be burned to death than have anything happen to Qi'an.

The child kept calling her mother and regarded her as his own mother.

Previously, the child's nails were long, and she cut them on a whim. As a result, she cut the child's fingers. The child's fingers started to bleed and cry in pain. However, she did not blame her at all. she coaxed.

The child regards her as the most important person and relies on her wholeheartedly.

Why was it not her but this child who had the accident?

Lu Qingxi really wanted to see the emperor, and he left in a hurry.

After Lu Qingxi left, Concubine Liu asked someone to bring the child.

She didn't dare to see her child before, but now...she wants to stay with her child.

The imperial doctor has given medicine to Qi'an, and he has also given medicine to Qi'an, but Qi'an is completely unrecognizable, and there is a high probability that he will not survive. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, he will not be able to see...

No, according to the imperial doctor, this child will not survive at all!

Qi An is still so young, why should he suffer this?

And herself...why does she want to stay in the palace?

If she had not been involved with the emperor, she might have had children and grandchildren by now!

Concubine Liu thought for a moment and found her confidant: "I want to leave the palace."

"Empress?" Concubine Liu's confidants were startled.

Concubine Liu held the weakly breathing child in her arms and repeated: "I want to leave the palace."

She wants to take her children to see the world outside the palace, and she herself also wants to see the world outside the palace.

Concubine Liu has real power. She has been in charge of the palace these years.

She left the palace very quickly, and Lu Qingxi didn't even know about it.

After leaving the palace, she drove the people around her away and walked alone on the street with her child in her arms, her expression in a trance.

Her mind was blank now, and she only murmured to herself: "An'an, mother is sorry for you. An'an, you must be feeling very uncomfortable, right? It's all mother's fault. Once mother has avenged you, I will stay with you..."

Li Qingzhi was taking a walk when he heard a woman in her forties not far away saying some scary words.

He looked over and saw that the woman was wearing simple clothes, and the pattern on the swaddling clothes that the child in her arms was wrapped in was something he had designed for the Gold Leaf Embroidery Workshop.

This woman should come from a wealthy family, but her mental state is not right.

Li Qingzhi could feel that someone was following the woman, but didn't come close... That should be the person protecting the woman.

Li Qingzhi knew that he could not control all the tragedies in the world, but the child in the woman's arms seemed to be still alive and making a weak sound.

That's a child!

Li Qingzhi walked forward: "Madam, what's wrong with your child? I'm a doctor and I can help you take a look..."

Chapter 215 Everyone has their own thoughts

After Li Qingzhi got close to the woman, he smelled the smell of medicine and burning.

He was wondering why there was such a smell, when he saw the face of the child in the woman's arms.

The child was burned beyond recognition. There was no good piece of flesh on his face.

This woman is quite young and looks aristocratic. Although her clothes are simple, the fabric and embroidery work are top-notch. The child in her arms happened to be burned...

Li Qingzhi immediately realized one thing - the woman in front of him was Concubine Liu Guifei!

And this child should be the young master in the palace!

The child was seriously injured. If such an injury were suffered in modern times, he would definitely be able to survive, but this was in ancient times without antibiotics.

The child suffered such a serious injury, and without antibiotics... the child would most likely lose his life due to infection.

It wasn't just the infection that would kill him, his eyes were burned, as was his mouth and nose... It was very difficult for the child to breathe and eat, and his life was hanging by a thread.

"Can you save him?" Liu Guifei reached out and grabbed Li Qingzhi's sleeve.

Normally, Concubine Liu would never believe that a young man like Li Qingzhi could cure someone who was sentenced to death by the imperial doctor.

But she watched helplessly as Qi An was breathing out more and taking in less air, so it was inevitable that she would become confused if she cared about him.

Now, as long as she can save Qi An, she is willing to believe in anything and try anything!

"Show me." Li Qingzhi didn't dare to delay. He stretched out a hand and put it on the neck of the dying child, pretending to feel the child's pulse.

After he came to Concubine Liu, the people following Concubine Liu approached them. Li Qingzhi could feel that several people were staring at him.

If something goes wrong with him, these people may rise up and attack him.

Of course he means no harm, so there is no need to worry.

The energy in Li Qingzhi's body entered the body of the burned child in front of him, and he soon knew the child's condition.

Although the child was thrown a pot of burning coals, because it was winter and he was wearing clothes, the burns were not serious.

But after a child is scalded by fire, he will inevitably cry and inhale the smoke... The child's throat and lungs were scalded.

Now, every breath he took was in agony.

If no one gave him treatment, he would definitely not survive.

Li Qing used energy to briefly treat the most important parts of the child's body that might cost him his life.

After doing all this, he ran out of energy.

He wanted to go into the palace to treat the emperor and the child before, but he really overestimated himself. With his current ability, he would definitely not be able to save two people at once. Even if he wanted to save the child, it would be difficult.

In the first few days, he may have to stay with the child and help with treatment whenever he has energy.

Otherwise...the child's condition may worsen.

"Can you cure him? If you can cure him, no matter what you want, I can give it to you." Liu Guifei looked at Li Qingzhi seriously.

Li Qing insisted: "It's impossible to cure him, but I have a way to make this child survive."

This child was burned like this. If he said he could cure him, no one would believe him.

But when he says he can keep this kid alive... others should believe it.

Concubine Liu Guifei grabbed Li Qing's hand holding his sleeve and the veins bulged out from the force: "Really?"

"Really," Li Qing insisted, "Madam, let me take you to my house. I have medicine at home."

Concubine Liu Guifei agreed without thinking: "Okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman in her thirties came over: "Madam..."

Concubine Liu glanced at the woman and said to Li Qing: "This is my maid, she is coming with me."

"Okay." Li Qingzhi agreed.

He has no ill intentions towards Concubine Liu, so he is naturally not afraid of Concubine Liu's people following him.

He noticed that Concubine Liu made a gesture to the others who were following her, probably asking them to check his identity.

Li Qingzhi is not afraid of investigation. He is Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province! After Concubine Liu knew his identity, she would definitely trust him more.

This is not far from Li Qingzhi's residence.

Concubine Liu was originally wearing a cloak. Now she wrapped the cloak tighter, covering her face and the child in her arms, and followed Li Qingzhi forward.

Not long after, they arrived at Qingshi Lane.

When people in Qingshi Alley saw Li Qingzhi, they all greeted him: "Li Juren, are you back?" "Li Juren, where were you just now?"

"Li Juren, who is this?"

…

Li Qingzhi gave Concubine Liu an identity: "This is my godmother's friend, here to see her."

Just as Li Qingzhi finished speaking, he met Master Ping again.

After Li Qingzhi settled down in the capital, the first person he visited was Mr. Ping, because the two families lived close to each other and continued to communicate with each other later.

Mainly when they make delicious food at home, they will give some to Mr. Ping.

Mr. Ping's family was so poor that he couldn't afford to hire a young and skilled cook, so he only hired one.

Old woman, the food at home is not very good.

The food the Li family gave them was so delicious to them!

For this reason, Lord Ping was very fond of Li Qingzhi. When he saw Li Qingzhi, he said: "Zixiao, something happened in the capital. Please don't wander around in the next few days! Alas, I don't know what happened. , the palace was suddenly sealed, the Jin Prince's Mansion and the Yanjun Prince's Mansion were also surrounded, and those of us were even driven back home."

Mr. Ping was still wearing official uniform, and he had obviously just returned from the Yamen.

Li Qing insisted: "Thank you, sir, for your advice. I will definitely pay attention." Master Ping obviously didn't know the specific situation. On the contrary, he already knew the reason, and even Concubine Liu Gui was taken home by him.

Lord Ping left, and Li Qingzhi took Concubine Liu Guifei into his house.

When Li Qingzhi first said that he could save Qi'an, Concubine Liu was so excited that she didn't even doubt Li Qingzhi.

But along the way, she inevitably had some doubts.

How could she possibly save Qi An just by meeting someone on the road?

Wouldn't this person want to do something bad to her?

But if this really happens, this person will probably die without a burial place.

Concubine Liu had many thoughts in her mind, but when she entered Qingshi Alley and saw so many people knowing Li Qingzhi and calling him "Li Juren", her doubts about Li Qingzhi disappeared.

After Li Qingzhi talked to Lord Ping...

Concubine Liu didn't know Lord Ping, but she knew the official uniform.

The young man in front of her may not be able to cure her An'an, but he should have no ill intentions towards her.

The door of Li's house was open. After Concubine Liu entered, she saw a pregnant woman sitting on the porch where there was no wind, basking in the sun.

Next to this woman, two maids were washing clothes, and white heat was coming out of the wash basin... People who can heat hot water for the maids to wash clothes are never bad people.

Back in the palace, they didn't have enough firewood. In the middle of winter, she could only wash clothes in cold water, and her hands were frostbitten.

"Azhi, what is this?" Mrs. Qian looked confused.

Mrs. Qian didn't know that Li Qingzhi had a golden finger, nor did she know what happened in the palace.

Li Qingzhi and Li Zhu didn't tell her this.

Li Qing insisted: "Madam, I met a lady on the road. Her child was burned. I promised to help treat it."

"So that's it, go get busy!" After Mrs. Qian finished speaking, she looked at Concubine Liu: "Madam, my Azhi has very good medical skills. Don't worry, he will definitely be able to cure your child!"

"Yes." Liu Guifei responded.

Li Qingzhi said to Concubine Liu Guifei at this time: "It's too cold outside. I don't want to see the condition of this child. Madam, please follow me and go to my child's room. There is a fire pit there to keep it warm." He was not good. You can take Concubine Liu to your own room, but it is okay to go to your child's room.

"Okay." Concubine Liu agreed again. It was indeed cold outside!

If it had been before... there was no way she would have been able to hold An An and blow the cold air.

Li Qingzhi took Concubine Liu Guifei into the house where Li Damao and Li Ermao lived.

There is indeed a fire kang, and on the kang, Li Damao, Li Ermao and Zhao Xiaodou are playing.

Li Qing said: "Xiaodou, you can take Da Mao Er Mao to play outside, or go to your house to play. There are guests who will stay here for a while."

Li Qingzhi seemed to have something serious, and the three children left obediently.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingzhi asked Concubine Liu to hold the child on the kang to warm her body while he went to get some medicine.

He actually didn't need any medicine... Li Qingzhi prepared some salt and sugar water, planning to give the child some to drink to replenish energy.

He poured salt and sugar water into a porcelain bottle, and took out the clean white gauze and silver needle he had prepared in advance.

After preparing all this, Li Qingzhi returned to Li Damao and Li Ermao's room.

Concubine Liu Guifei was already sitting on the kang, and Qi An was also placed on the kang by her.

Li Qingzhi went over and found that Qi An was still humming weakly.

He untied Qi'an's clothes, took a brief look at Qi'an's condition, and said to Concubine Liu: "Madam, I don't have a suitable ointment here. The ointment on this child's body is very good. Is there any more? This ointment will be used in the future. It needs to be wiped all the time. As for other things... your child's pulse is very weak. I have to acupuncture him four times a day to save him, so it's best for the child to stay with me."

While talking, Li Qingzhi took out a silver needle and baked it on the nearby candlelight.

Li Qingzhi obviously had no ill intentions and looked very confident, as if he could really save Qi An.

Shouldn't this person lie to himself? Li Qingzhi became Liu Guifei's only hope. Concubine Liu naturally agreed to Li Qingzhi's request: "Then the child will stay with you, doctor. As for the ointment, I will have someone get it right away!"

"Then you go get it. It's better to be quiet when I'm giving the child acupuncture." Li Qingzhi did this to give Liu Guifei an opportunity to interact with his subordinates.

In addition...if Liu Guifei was here, he would definitely give the child a few injections to show off. If Liu Guifei left, he would not give the child the injections, and it would also save the child a little suffering.

Concubine Liu glanced at Qi An, gritted her teeth and went out.

She had a lot of things to arrange, such as finding someone to notify Lu Qingxi, and making arrangements so that no one knew she and Qi An were here.

Of course she had to get the ointment prescribed by the imperial doctor for Qi An, and she also wanted to check on Li Qingzhi.

After Liu Guifei went outside, she immediately called her confidants to follow her.

Her confidants have found some information about Li Qingzhi and know that Li Qingzhi is Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province. As for whether Li Qingzhi knows medical skills, they don't know.

Jiang'an Province is too far from the capital!

"He is Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province, and he cannot be a liar... I will stay here for the next two days. You go back to the palace and get all the medicines prescribed by the imperial doctor for the young master, and then lock up my palace. To the outside world, I will tell you that I don't see anyone and am solely with the young master. As for Lu Qingxi, I will write him a letter and you can send it over." Concubine Liu made arrangements in an orderly manner.

Just give her a little hope and she can cheer up!

For safety reasons, Concubine Liu couldn't let anyone know she was here, so she simply sealed off her palace.

If she doesn't want anyone to enter her palace, no one else can enter except Qi Jun!

Qi Jun is sick and will definitely not have time to see her. Even if Qi Jun has time to see her... With Qi Jun's character, she is unwilling to let people in, so Qi Jun will definitely not go in!

But as for Lu Qingxi, this matter needs to be resolved in a clear way.

After arranging everything, Concubine Liu found a guard and a maid to follow her. Including the previous maid, there were three people around her.

When she returned to Li's house, she didn't dare to disturb Li Qingzhi, so she just waited outside the house.

It happened that Li Qingzhi had already fed the child some salt and sugar water, opened the door and came out.

"Madam, I have already injected the child. Just look at him... If you want to stay here, can I have someone clean up a room for you?"

"We will stay here, Mr. Li, just tell me which room is empty and I will have someone clean it up." Liu Guifei said.

"There are empty rooms in the east wing." Li Qing insisted. There were four rooms in the east wing. Mrs. Qian and the two maids lived in two of them, leaving two empty rooms.

Concubine Liu immediately sent people to clean it up, and asked the guard to buy some firewood and charcoal. She also gave Li Qingzhi a hundred taels of silver, and everything was taken care of.

Li Qingzhi accepted the money, told Concubine Liu some precautions to take good care of the child, and then left.

He was going to get something to eat and get some sleep!

He had been unable to calm down before, but now he finally calmed down and had time to think about the follow-up.

The child was seriously injured. He

Even if you try your best to cure him and restore him to his original self, it will still take a month or two.

He definitely can't do this!

After the child's life is no longer in danger, he must treat him slowly so as not to reveal his specialness.

But if you do this...if something happens to the emperor in the palace, it is impossible for a child with his whole face to be scalded to ascend the throne!

So, what's next?

Li Qingzhi sighed secretly, and on the other side, Liu Guifei, who found that Qi'an's breathing became much easier, cried with joy.

This Jieyuan from Jiang'an Province may really be able to keep Qi'an alive!

Although Qi An will become blind after she survives, she is rich and powerful and can always make Qi An live comfortably!

Wait, if King Jin or King Yan ascends the throne, will she still have money and power? Can I still raise Qi An?

Will those people kill Qi An?

Surely it will? Qi Jun is soft-hearted and doesn't do anything to eradicate the roots, but others are different!

They would not let Qi An survive, and even she and Lu Qingxi might not be able to save their lives.

This is not okay, absolutely not!

Her An An has already suffered like this, and she can't let her continue to suffer in the future!

But, what can we do to let An An live well?

Concubine Liu knew the answer to this question very well, that is, Prince Yan and Prince Jin could not be allowed to ascend the throne.

If these two people are not allowed to ascend the throne, there must be other candidates to ascend the throne.

It's definitely not possible to choose another child. It might harm someone else's child, and those ministers won't agree.

As for choosing an older one... Those clan members have a far-reaching relationship with Qi Jun, and they don't have much ability yet.

Why doesn't Qi Jun have a son? If Qi Jun had a biological son...

Qi Jun's biological son?

Concubine Liu's mind buzzed, and she suddenly thought of a brilliant idea.

It's not that Qi Jun couldn't have children from the beginning. The eldest princess and the second princess are his biological children!

Even she had been pregnant with a child before.

Everyone knew that the daughter she was carrying was gone, but... what if it was not her daughter who died?

What if the child she gave birth to was actually a son?

She was afraid that someone would kill her child, so she sent the child away. However, an accident happened later and the child disappeared. Now she has finally found it...

She can find herself a "son"!

Lu Qingxi must be on her side, they are just grasshoppers on the same rope!

If Qi Jun had a biological son, those officials in the court who had never taken sides would definitely be on her side!

The new emperor is her "son", she will be the queen mother in the future, and her position is absolutely stable. Qi'an is her adopted child, and his face is ruined. The new emperor will definitely not do anything to Qi'an, and Qi'an can still be a prince!

As long as Lu Qingxi is smarter, he can retreat safely.

This is a really good idea.

As for confusing the royal bloodline, she doesn't care!

Nothing happened to the late emperor's concubine after she killed her daughter, just because the late emperor protected her!

She hated the late emperor's concubine, she also hated the late emperor, and even Qi Jun, she had a little hatred.

What about confusing the royal bloodline? She just wanted her An An to be safe.

And this is not necessarily a bad thing for Qi Jun. If Qi Jun knew that he had a biological son, his health might be better!

The more Concubine Liu thought about it, the more excited she became.

She knew that Lu Qingxi would definitely come to her, and she planned to wait for Lu Qingxi to come and then discuss it with Lu Qingxi before deciding whether to do this.

If you really want to do this... then you have to rely on Lu Qingxi to make it happen!

They need to find a young man who is somewhat similar to the emperor and of the same age!

"An'an, mother is here."

"An'an, Mom knows you're in pain, please bear with it, you'll be fine soon."

"An'an, everything will be fine. Mom will avenge you and keep you prosperous and wealthy for the rest of your life."

"An'an..."

Concubine Liu comforted Qi An in a low voice.

In the palace, the emperor was already awake.

As soon as he woke up, he asked about Qi'an's situation, and the tears in his eyes fell uncontrollably.

Lu Qingxi coaxed him: "Your Majesty, the young master is fine. Although his face is ruined, he is still alive because of timely treatment. Your Majesty, please have a good rest. When you are well, you can see the young master."

"Really?" Qi Jun asked.

"Your Majesty, when did this old slave lie to you?"

Lu Qingxi indeed never lied to Qi Jun, Qi Jun felt relieved.

Little did he know that Lu Qingxi turned around and began to think about it.

This year, he had completely broken up with Prince Yan and Prince Jin.

No matter what, he couldn't let these two people take the throne!

But now something happened to Qi'an!

Maybe, he can find a child who is similar to Qi An and come back and pretend to be Qi An?

Some maids, eunuchs, and several imperial doctors in the palace had seen the injured Qi'an, but now that the palace was sealed, no one could get out, and people outside didn't know what was going on in the palace. He just had to take all these people away. If he is killed, no one will know how seriously Qi An was injured!

There are many children who look alike. If you find one who looks similar, cut a small incision on his face and raise it for a while, the emperor will definitely not be able to tell the difference between that child and Qi An!

This matter needs to be discussed with Concubine Liu. He believed that Concubine Liu would agree.

Concubine Liu is determined to take revenge on Prince Jin and Prince Yan. In this case, the one who ascends the throne must be one of them!

As for the emperor... To Lu Qingxi, the emperor is very important. If he dies and the emperor recovers, he is willing to die.

But that's impossible, isn't it?

And to him, the emperor is very important, and Concubine Liu is equally important.

He didn't want to die, nor did he want Concubine Liu to die.

The worst case scenario is that when the child he brings grows up, he can marry the daughter of the eldest princess or the second princess as the queen...

Just as Lu Qingxi was thinking this, someone came to report that Concubine Liu had carried Qi'an out of the palace and found a doctor for Qi'an, who said he could make Qi'an survive.

Lu Qing was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Concubine Liu is leaving the palace at this time, isn't she afraid of danger?

And... if the imperial doctor is not recruited, how can anyone outside save Qi An? Don't be fooled!

Lu Qingxi thought that when the affairs in the palace were finished, she must go and find Concubine Liu Guifei.

With this in mind, Lu Qingxi asked someone to prepare medicinal food for Qi Jun. As for himself... He hadn't eaten for most of the day, so he could just deal with one bite.

While Lu Qingxi was eating, Concubine Liu was having dinner.

Dinner was brought over by Li Qingzhi. It was a full pot of pork stewed with cabbage, with fungus and tofu in it. Concubine Liu had not eaten such simple dishes for many years, and Qi An was still ill. She thought she wouldn't be able to eat it.

But after she actually ate it... the familiar taste actually made her eat a lot.

As soon as she had eaten, Li Qingzhi knocked on the door and said he wanted to give the child an injection.

Concubine Liu quickly took the people waiting around her out, leaving space for Li Qingzhi, and Li Qingzhi used some of his recovered energy to help treat the child.

After doing all this, Li Qingzhi fed the child some sugar water.

The child is seriously injured and cannot eat anything else for the time being, but by tomorrow, he should be able to eat some soup and water.

The child was very pitiful, but Li Qingzhi still tied his arms to his side.

His face and hands were injured, and Li Qingzhi was afraid that the wounds would become more and more serious after he scratched randomly.

After doing all this, Li Qingzhi told Concubine Liu that he would come again tomorrow morning to give the child an injection, and then left.

Concubine Liu sent him away, looking at his side face and blinking.

This Jie Yuan is very handsome. Viewed from the side, his nose is the same as Qi Jun's when he was young.

What Qi Jun looked like when he was young... She still misses him a lot.

Chapter 216 Calculation

In the middle of the night, the energy in Li Qingzhi's body was completely restored.

Without delay, he went to the east wing and knocked on the door.

Because Li Qingzhi had said that acupuncture would be performed in the early morning, and because Qi'an was not out of danger yet, Concubine Liu slept in her clothes that night, and the two palace maids even lit lamps and took turns guarding Qi'an.

In fact, Concubine Liu couldn't sleep at all. The child she had raised for a year and a half and whom she regarded as her own son was suffering beside her... Where could she sleep?

After lying there for a while, she was awakened by a nightmare.

While staring blankly at the child on the bed, Concubine Liu heard a knock on the door and quickly asked the maid who was not sleeping to light more lamps while she went out to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Li Qingzhi walked in along with the air conditioner outside.

"I'm here to see the child, give him some medicine, and give him some acupuncture," Li Qing insisted. "You don't have to go out, just sit behind the screen and don't disturb me."

Originally there was nothing in this room except a kang, but after Concubine Liu decided to live there, a lot of furniture was added, and a screen was placed next to the bed to prevent anyone from seeing the bed as soon as they entered.

In the middle of winter, it was not good for the two women to go outside to enjoy the cold wind and suffer from the cold. Li Qingzhi didn't want to actually give the child acupuncture, so he asked them to stay behind the screen.

Li Qingzhi used all the energy in his body on the child, fed him some sugar water, and applied ointment to him...

Concubine Liu Guifei had people bring out from the palace, in addition to the ointment, there was also medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor for Qi An to drink.

This medicine is actually ginseng and other precious medicinal materials that can kill people. Li Qingzhi felt that the amount prescribed by the imperial doctor was a bit large, so he only took a little ginseng from it and asked Concubine Liu to boil it with rice grains to make rice oil and feed it to Children eat.

"I'll go get it right away," Liu Guifei said.

"Okay. The next time I come over, it should be near dawn." Li Qing insisted.

After leaving Concubine Liu, Li Qingzhi was not in a hurry to go back to sleep. He went to the kitchen first.

Next to the kitchen is Zhang Zao's room, and they all burn the kang from the kitchen.

There happened to be a fire, so Li Qingzhi boiled water, mixed the flour, poured it in, beat in the eggs, cut in some cabbage, and cooked himself a large pot of cabbage, egg, and noodle soup.

There was some uneaten bacon in the kitchen from last night, so he took it out to eat too.

Zhang, who heard the noise next door, woke up and went to the latrine. He took a look in the kitchen and saw Li Qingzhi eating, and was a little shocked.

His husband is very kind! After eating so much in the evening, we even had extra food in the middle of the night!

Li Qingzhi went back to sleep after eating and drinking. After two hours of sleep, he woke up and found that the energy in his body had recovered again.

It was about five o'clock in the morning. He got up again and went to the east wing to knock on the door.

After Li Qingzhi arrived in the middle of the night, Concubine Liu and her servants cooked ginseng porridge on a small stove and fed the child some rice oil.

She was old and her body couldn't bear it. After feeding, she lay in a daze for a while, and then she was woken up by a knock on the door.

It was still dark outside, and Li Qingzhi came to give the child an injection again.

Although Qi An seems to be getting better, he is not out of danger yet and may not survive.

But even so, Concubine Liu was still very grateful to Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi just gave Qi An an injection after dinner, but he got up twice in the middle of the night... She accepted Li Qingzhi's love!

Li Qingzhi showed it to Qi An and went to the kitchen again.

People these days go to bed early and get up early. Chang Zhan's two apprentices have already started making breakfast. He wants to eat it!

The two cooks of the Li family were making pancakes today. They made one, and Li Qingzhi ate one... They had no choice but to cook another pot of porridge.

Li Qingzhi was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "I'll go out and buy some fried dough sticks. The fried dough sticks are best dipped in soy sauce and paired with porridge."

After saying that, Li Qingzhi went out to buy fried dough sticks.

There were a lot of people at home, so he bought twenty fried dough sticks in one go and waited for a while before they were fried. While waiting, he ate two of them.

Returning to Qingshi Alley with the fried dough sticks, Li Qingzhi felt like someone was observing him in the dark.

He pretended not to notice and greeted the people in Qingshi Lane as usual.

"Li Juren, your family is eating fried dough sticks today!"

"These fried dough sticks look really good. I'll buy some too."

"Good morning Li Ju!"

…

Li Qingzhi smiled and took a fried dough stick. When he saw the child, he broke off a little and gave it to him.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he met Concubine Liu who was about to go out. Concubine Liu was accompanied by a palace maid.

"Madam, are you going out?" Li Qingzhi asked.

"My family is here, I'm going to take a look." Liu Guifei said.

Li Qingzhi gave her two fried dough sticks: "Madam, you haven't had breakfast yet? Eat some deep-fried dough sticks first." Liu Guifei was stunned for a moment, then took one and gave it to the maid next to her, and then took a bite.

Li Qingzhi came all the way. The fried dough sticks were already cold, but they were still delicious... Liu Guifei noticed that the children next door were also eating fried dough sticks in front of the house, and even licked the oil from their hands after eating.

"You bastard, you lick everything!" When the child's mother saw this, she put her finger on her child's head and took the child to wash his hands.

It's full of fireworks.

Concubine Liu took one look and continued walking forward. After a while, she saw Lu Qingxi's sedan.

The two came to a nearby room that Lu Qingxi had hired someone to clean up. As soon as they entered, Lu Qingxi said, "My little aunt! What are you doing out of the palace at this time?"

"I want to save An An."

"The imperial doctors in the palace can't cure it, but people outside can cure it?"

"I don't know if it can be cured... but An An looks better! Then Li Juren told me that he could cure An An. If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't be so involved." Liu Guifei said hopefully. Looking at Lu Qingxi, she wanted Lu Qingxi to say something to reassure her.

Lu Qing was delighted to see Concubine Liu Gui's appearance and said, "He should be sure, otherwise there is no need to cause trouble for himself."

Lu Qingxi's words were just to coax Concubine Liu. As for his heart...he had all kinds of conspiracy theories in his mind, and he didn't believe Li Qingzhi at all.

Is Li Qingzhi there?

Maybe he did this because he recognized Concubine Liu Guifei?

Thinking so, Lu Qingxi said nothing in front of Concubine Liu Guifei. He only planned to send someone to check Li Qingzhi.

After coaxing Concubine Liu, Lu Qingxi asked again: "Do you really want to stay here?"

"Yes, I want to wait until An An is well before going back." Liu Guifei said.

Lu Qing said happily: "You can stay here if you want. I will help you deal with it from the Emperor's side... Now that An An is like this, what are you going to do next?"

Lu Qingxi wanted to find another child to replace Qi'an, but he knew that Concubine Liu would not agree if Qi'an was not dead.

He has no feelings for Qi'an, but Concubine Liu regards Qi'an as her own son.

He would wait now. If Qi'an died, he would tell Concubine Liu about this idea. If Qi'an did not die, he would think of another way.

Concubine Liu suddenly reached out and held Lu Qingxi's hand: "Axi, do me a favor!"

Lu Qingxi's body trembled slightly and asked without thinking, "What do you want me to help you with?"

Concubine Liu looked straight at Lu Qingxi: "Axi, let's find a son for the emperor!"

Concubine Liu told Lu Qingxi the idea she had thought of yesterday.

Lu Qingxi frowned: "That's not okay. Children are easy to control, but people in their twenties are not easy to control."

Concubine Liu's idea is a good one, but people in their twenties have become fathers, so they must have their own ideas.

After they promoted him to the throne, if this person didn't want others to know that he was not actually of royal blood, and tried to eradicate them...then what would they do?

Lu Qingxi never thought of rebelling. When Qi Jun was around, he would not hurt Qi Jun under any circumstances. If Qi Jun died...

He is just a eunuch, even if he rebels and becomes emperor, it will be useless.

But he didn't want to die. He didn't want to be killed by this person after working so hard to send an unrelated person to the throne of God.

With this in mind, Lu Qingxi told Concubine Liu about her concerns.

Concubine Liu said: "Then... let's find an orphan and tell him that he is my biological son?"

If what they were looking for was an orphan, and they told that person that the person was stolen from her by someone sent by the late emperor and noble concubine... that person would most likely believe them.

As long as that person believes it, he won't think about killing them because of his impure blood.

Lu Qingxi thought deeply.

He does like power, but he doesn't want to hold on to that power until death.

He has always hoped that when he gets old, he can buy a big house in the capital, have more godsons and grandchildren, and live the life of a rich man.

It would be best to have a holy favor, so that when the officials in the capital see him, they will all be respectful!

He doesn't want anyone to step on him when he gets old. What Lu Qingxi likes is the feeling that everyone respects him. He actually doesn't like handling government affairs that much.

Who would like to work?

If he followed what Concubine Liu said and found an orphan to be the emperor, and then he coaxed the other party to treat him as a trustworthy elder...

He can completely walk around the capital in the future!

Even if he is no longer in power, officials like Zhang Zhiru will still respectfully shout "Qian Sui Ye" when they see him.

Concubine Liu asked again: "Axi, do you think it's okay?"

"You can try it." Lu Qingxi said. Among the people, many people adopt children who are not biologically related to them.

Does it matter if the emperor adopts such a child?

If this child regards the emperor as his biological father, he will definitely not miss the emperor's tribute after his death!

"Axi, all my men are in the palace, it's up to you to handle this matter." Liu Guifei said.

"I will get things done, just take my time." Lu Qingxi began to think.

Concubine Liu Guifei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Qingxi agreed.

She was thinking about Qi An, so she said goodbye to Lu Qingxi immediately and went back to see Qi An.

After she left, Lu Qingxi did not return to the palace. Instead, he went to his residence outside the palace and asked people to find Li Zhu.

He has many subordinates, but if he is looking for someone... Li Zhu is definitely the most suitable.

Lu Qingxi had a portrait of Qi Jun when he was young. He found one and put it away. When Li Zhu arrived, he said: "Shopkeeper Mu, our family has something for you to do. You must do it quietly. Remember Let your confidants do it and don't let anyone else know."

"Thousand-year-old Master, just ask." Li Zhu said.

After Li Qingzhi brought Concubine Liu back yesterday, he asked Zhang Zao to pass the news to He Yi. Li Zhu already knew about Concubine Liu's affairs with Li Qingzhi.

Qi'an was burned beyond recognition. Unless Li Qingzhi exposed his abilities and tried his best to cure him as soon as possible, he would never be able to ascend the throne!

The emperor is in poor health, and the King of Jin and the King of Yan County are eyeing him. They have also attracted generals with military power... Even if Qi An can ascend the throne, he may not be able to secure the throne.

Li Zhu had been very anxious. Now that Lu Qingxi was looking for her to do something, she was even more thinking about whether this might be related to Concubine Liu Guifei and Qi An.

Or maybe Lu Qingxi wanted to assassinate the King of Jin or the King of Yan County?

Lu Qingxi took out a portrait and gave it to Li Zhu: "This is a good friend of mine. He lost a son when he was young. The child was taken away right after he was born. You can help look for him in the capital to see if he has the same child." It's very similar to an orphan whose parents are unknown. If you can't find it in the capital, you can still look for it elsewhere."

Li Zhu didn't know the person in the portrait.

But she secretly visited King Jin and also met King Yan.

The man in the painting has some similarities with King Jin and King Yan.

This is...the current Holy Emperor?

Has the Holy Father ever lost a son?

No, it's impossible. If such a thing really happened, Lu Qingxi must have sent someone to find it long ago!

And according to Lu Qingxi, as long as he is an orphan and looks a bit like the person in the painting...

That…

Li Zhu immediately thought of a possibility. Lu Qingxi might want to find a random person and recognize him as the emperor's son!

Li Zhu felt that her idea was a bit bold, but it was not impossible!

She thought a lot, but showed nothing on her face, and accepted the task respectfully.

Seeing this, Lu Qingxi added some information, such as the age of the child.

After finishing speaking, he also gave some instructions, asking Li Zhu to just tell him when he finds the person and not to disturb him.

After giving instructions, Lu Qingxi let people leave.

After they left, Lu Qingxi found another subordinate and asked that person to investigate Li Qingzhi.

He was worried about Li Qingzhi.

After arranging these two things, Lu Qingxi returned to the palace.

When he arrived, Qi Jun was awake and talking to and comforting several ministers.

Yesterday, Lu Qingxi suddenly sealed the palace and had people surround the Jin Palace and Yan County Palace... Some ministers in the court thought that the emperor had died.

It was in order to appease the ministers of the DPRK that Qi Jun supported his sick body to meet the officials.

The ministers left soon. Qi Jun asked Lu Qingxi: "Ahem, where have you been?"

Lu Qing said happily: "Your Majesty, I didn't sleep well last night. I just went to sleep for a while, but unfortunately I didn't fall asleep."

"You're not young anymore. You'll suffer if you don't sleep well... Go get some more sleep." Qi Jun looked concerned when he saw Lu Qingxi's face was still tired.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern," Lu Qingxi said quickly, "Your Majesty, if you don't dislike me, will you let me rest here?"

"You should have a rest. How could I dislike you?" Qi Jun was an emperor with no airs. He often said "I" instead of "I".

Lu Qingxi took advantage of the situation and fell asleep on the couch next to the dragon bed. Upon seeing this, Qi Jun asked someone to bring one of his quilts over to cover Lu Qingxi.

Lu Qingxi closed her eyes, but she did not fall asleep. Instead, she was thinking about what Concubine Liu Guifei said.

This thing is indeed feasible.

But if you tell the emperor directly that Liu Guifei gave birth to a son, the emperor may not believe it... Lu Qingxi suddenly thought of the Taoist priest Lu who had become famous in the capital these days.

If he makes some arrangements so that after meeting Qi Jun, Daoist Lu tells Qi Jun that he is destined to have a son, and that son has grown up... Qi Jun will definitely investigate by then!

Then, Concubine Liu could tell what happened back then...

You can even not let Concubine Liu speak, but let the maids around Concubine Liu speak! It's possible that Concubine Liu didn't know about this matter. Only the people who helped deliver the baby knew about it...

How to explain it specifically depends on the situation!

After that, it was logical that they helped Qi Jun find his "son".

The emperor's health is already in poor condition. No matter how carefully the imperial doctors take care of him, he will not live for a few more years, and he may even die tomorrow.

Under such circumstances, if he knew that he had a "biological son", he would be happier in his last days.

But...that Taoist priest Lu may not be willing to help.

If this really happened, he would have to find someone else! When the time comes, he will find a way to build momentum for the other party, making people believe that that person is a wise man, and then let the emperor meet him by chance...

Lu Qingxi fell asleep thinking about various things.

On the other side, Li Zhu left Lu Qingxi's side and immediately went to find Duan Jin.

She has never met the emperor, but Duan Jin has!

The emperor went to Duan Jin's place to have dinner more than once!

"Shopkeeper Mu." Chang Duan smiled immediately when he saw Li Zhu.

After Li Qingzhi arrived in the capital, he contacted Chang Duan once.

But he has too many things going on these days, so he hasn't told Chang Duan about Li Zhu yet.

This had no impact on what Li Zhu wanted to do. Li Zhu took out the portrait and showed it to Chang Duan: "Shopkeeper Duan, take a look. Is the person in this portrait the emperor?"

The portrait is somewhat different from the real person. After Qi Jun has been ill for a long time, he is even more sickly, his eyes are cloudy, and his face is swollen.

Li Zhu didn't say anything, Chang Duan couldn't think of the emperor for a while, but when Li Zhu said this...

Chang Duan said: "This should be a portrait of the emperor when he was young. But the emperor no longer looks like this. His face is swollen and his skin is drooping..."

Li Zhu said: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Duan, please don't tell anyone that you have seen this portrait."

Chang Duan agreed immediately.

Li Zhu thought of something else at this time: "You and Li Qingzhi can say... Shopkeeper Duan, please arrange a room for me, and I will call Li Qingzhi over. I have something to discuss with him."

Li Zhu felt that Lu Qingxi most likely wanted to find someone to pretend to be the prince!

Lu Qingxi asked her to help find someone, so she could naturally choose a suitable person and send it to Lu Qingxi!

As for who is suitable...is there anyone more suitable than Li Qingzhi?

Her brother's original appearance was very similar to hers, but now he changed his appearance, and he looked a little bit like the person in the painting!

The emperor was very handsome when he was young, very masculine and handsome, and so was her brother!

This similarity is too little, but Li Qingzhi can change his appearance!

He can slowly adjust to make himself more or less similar to the emperor, and then he can learn some of the emperor's demeanor and movements...

The more Li Zhu thought about it, the more excited she became.

If her brother becomes emperor, why should she worry about not getting revenge?

Moreover... Li Zhu is actually a little resentful towards the current Holy Emperor.

Knowing that King Jin is unreliable, why does the current Holy Emperor still let King Jin be responsible for disaster relief?

King Jin made so many mistakes, but he was not really punished...

Chang Duan did not expect that Li Zhu actually knew Li Qingzhi: "Shopkeeper Mu..."

"I know your name is Chang Duan." Li Zhu said.

When Chang Duan heard what Li Zhu said, he knew that Li Zhu really knew Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi is really capable. Not long after entering the capital, he became familiar with the famous person in front of Eunuch Lu!

Chang Duan arranged a room for Li Zhu, and Li Zhu's people had already sent a letter to Li Qingzhi.

Qingyun Tower is not far from Qingshi Lane, and Li Qingzhi came over in less than half an hour.

After sensing for a while and confirming that there were no outsiders in the room, Li Qingzhi asked: "Sister, why did you ask me to come over?"

"It's something... Azhi, do you want to be the emperor?"

Li Qing said: "Think, what's wrong?"

He definitely wants to be the emperor. As long as he becomes the emperor, he can initiate changes and change the country according to his own wishes.

It's just that if he wants to be emperor, he must start a war, and it will be the common people who will suffer.

So he planned to take his time, sow some seeds subtly, and change the concepts of scholars and ordinary people.

He will try to find a way to research something to stimulate people's enthusiasm for scientific inventions...

He also wants to stay in the court as an official and influence the thoughts of the top rulers of Da Qi...

Li Qingzhi had planned his own route a long time ago, and even thought about how to expand his influence and promote things that would be beneficial to the people after becoming an official.

He now hopes that the emperor will not die early.

If King Jin or King Yan ascends the throne... As these two people don't take the victims seriously, he doesn't want to be an official anymore.

Li Zhu said: "Azhi, you may have a chance to become emperor."

Li Qingzhi looked at Li Zhu doubtfully.

Li Zhu told Li Qingzhi what Lu Qingxi had asked her to do, as well as her own speculations, and also showed Li Qingzhi a portrait of the emperor when he was young.

After listening to what Li Zhu said, Li Qingzhi felt that Li Zhu's guess was most likely right.

He has been in contact with Concubine Liu and knows how much Concubine Liu cares about Qi'an.

He also knew that Lu Qingxi came to see Concubine Liu Guifei this morning.

Whether it was Lu Qingxi or Concubine Liu, they did not want King Jin or King Yan to ascend the throne more than he did.

He will not die if these two people ascend the throne. If he is willing, they may even be reused. But Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi are different!

Regardless of whether it is King Jin or King Yan, the first thing he will do after ascending the throne is to kill Lu Qingxi. Concubine Liu may not have to die, but she will not end well either.

"Azhi, no one knows that you are Li Zhao's son. The identity you prepared for yourself was that of a person with no relatives... Now Lu Qingxi asked me to help find someone, and I can tell him your information..."

Li Qingzhi has always been decisive in his work.

He came to this world from the end of the world and did not have much respect for the imperial power.

The most important thing is that he wants to live and live for a long time!

In this era where imperial power is supreme, even if you become an official, you may have your home confiscated and beheaded for unfounded charges. Being an emperor is different!

As long as he doesn't seek death, he won't die.

After thinking about it, Li Qingzhi said: "Sister, don't talk about me to Eunuch Lu. I will tell Concubine Liu myself."

If their guess was correct, Concubine Liu would most likely know about this. In that case, why didn't he just let Concubine Liu take a fancy to him and choose him?

Even if they guessed wrong and things didn't work out, it would be fine. He just told Concubine Liu about his life experience.

Chapter 217 Decision

Li Qingzhi had never thought of pretending to be a prince before, but if Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi gave him such an opportunity, he would definitely seize it.

Li Qingzhi was very calm, but Li Zhu...

At first, Li Zhu firmly wanted Li Qingzhi to pretend to be the prince, but after Li Qingzhi really agreed, he felt uneasy: "Wait, Azhi, you may be in danger if you do this..."

"Sister, you don't have to think too much, our guess might be wrong. Even if our guess is right, Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi may not choose me." Li Qing insisted.

He is an interpreter and has a photographic memory.

Lu Qingxi might not choose him at all, but would choose someone with better control to hold the emperor and order the princes.

"No matter what, Azhi, your safety is the most important thing." Li Zhu was a little excited before, but now he has calmed down. Revenge for her family is indeed important, but she cannot risk her brother's life for it!

"Sister, don't worry, I'll be fine. It's getting late, I should go back." Li Qing insisted.

The energy in his body has been restored, and it's time to go back and treat Qi'an.

After Qi An came to his side, he was able to control his condition, but he was not out of danger yet.

If he doesn't keep an eye on it, Qi An will still die!

Li Zhu watched Li Qingzhi leave, took a moment, and then left Qingyun Tower.

She went to find He Yi and asked him to secretly find someone based on the portrait given by Lu Qingxi. She also asked He Yi to keep an eye on the other people under Lu Qingxi's command to see what those people were doing.

"Miss, speaking of this... Eunuch Lu sent someone to check on the Second Young Master," He Yi said.

"What?" Li Zhu was shocked. Why did Lu Qingxi want to check on Li Qingzhi?

He Yi said: "As for what happened today, Eunuch Lu should be worried about Concubine Liu."

Li Zhu thought about it and understood the reason.

Concubine Liu Gui lives at Li Qingzhi's place, so Lu Qingxi must investigate Li Qingzhi.

She doesn't need to get involved in this matter. After all, her brother's identity is clean and can withstand investigation.

The two chatted before they separated.

After Li Zhu left, He Yi remembered one thing - he forgot to tell Li Zhu about Lu Mingshan's master and apprentice!

These two people have been living at his place, should they be sent away?

Forget it, if you haven't said it yet, just don't say it. You can send it away next time.

But it might be boring for those two people to stay in the house all day... He Yi thought for a moment and went to the bookstore to pick out some books related to the Yi Jing Bagua and take them back to show Lu Mingshan.

Lu Mingshan was really bored being locked up by He Yi.

After telling his apprentice about the Plum Blossom Appreciation Party several times, he got tired of talking about it, so he could only beautify the experience of his youth and tell it to his apprentice.

But there is no point in talking too much!

Just when Lu Mingshan was irritable, He Yi gave him some books.

When Lu Mingshan learned deception from his grandfather in his early years, his grandfather taught him how to read. His grandfather also asked him to learn from the books He Yi gave him.

But after leaving his grandfather, Lu Mingshan didn't study much, and he had almost forgotten the contents of these books.

You must know that if a liar wants to defraud big money, he needs helpers, but for many years, he has been working alone!

At that time, he was young and his hair had not yet turned white, so his appearance was unreliable, and no one believed him even if he pretended to be a fortune teller...

He was so precarious that he couldn't think of reading.

In the past two years, his hair has turned gray, and his apprentice can still help him, so the money he has defrauded has become more and more... Then he just focused on defrauding money and spending it, let alone reading.

It was so boring at the moment that Lu Mingshan could only read. As he read, he became more enlightened than when he was young.

Bluestone Lane.

Li Qingzhi went home after seeing Li Zhu. It was about ten o'clock in the morning when he got home. He went to the east wing again to treat Qi'an.

When he first saw Qi'an yesterday, Qi'an was very weak and didn't move much. Now that the child's health is better, he starts to cry.

But there are so many injuries on his face, so he can't move around...

Li Qingzhi applied medicine on him and tied him up with thick cloth strips again.

Concubine Liu Guifei had been waiting behind the screen. When she saw Li Qingzhi coming out with the child in his arms, she immediately reached out to pick it up: "Mr. Li, An'an, how is he?"

"He is not out of danger yet, but he is getting better. In the next few days, I will visit him every two or three hours." Li Qing insisted.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Concubine Liu looked grateful.

Although Li Qingzhi said that Qi'an was not out of danger yet, she could feel that Qi'an was getting better.

This gives her hope for the future.

Li Qingzhi asked Concubine Liu to cook some more ginseng porridge for Qi An, and then left.

The weather is very good today. Li Damao and Li Ermao Zhao Xiaodou are feeding chickens in the yard. Seeing Li Qingzhi coming out of the east wing, Li Ermao said, "Dad, I touched an egg today!"

"Awesome!" Li Qingzhi smiled.

Li Ermao said again: "Dad, mother said that my brother is sick, give this egg to my brother!"

Li Qingzhi knew Concubine Liu's identity. He had told Jin Xiaoye about it last night, but he had not told the rest of the family.

In the eyes of other people in their family, Concubine Liu was the wife of a wealthy businessman who brought her children to see Li Qingzhi for medical treatment and gave them a hundred taels of silver.

That's one hundred taels of silver!

In addition to money, Mrs. Liu also gave them some gifts, which was very generous... Everyone in the family liked her very much.

After Li Damao and Li Ermao ate the snacks sent by Liu Guifei, they also cared about Liu Guifei's children.

Such behavior must be encouraged, Li Qing insisted: "Give the eggs to dad, and dad will help you deliver them."

Li Ermao immediately gave the egg to Li Qingzhi, and Li Qingzhi turned around and gave the egg to the maid next to Liu Guifei: "My chickens laid eggs. An An can't eat them now, but she will be able to eat them in a few days." Now, keep it to replenish his health."

An egg is not worth much, but Concubine Liu and the others heard the conversation just now and knew that this was what Li Qingzhi's child wanted.

After collecting the eggs, after Li Qingzhi left, Concubine Liu said to the maid next to her: "You ask someone to buy some food and send it to the Li family's kitchen."

The food they ate in the past two days was brought over by the Li family. Now the Li family also gave them eggs... They didn't want to eat and drink for free.

There were only two palace maids and one bodyguard around Concubine Liu, but some of her confidants had been staying nearby. After receiving her instructions, these confidants immediately bought some ingredients and sent them over.

They also knew that they wanted to hide their identities, so the food they delivered were relatively common ingredients. After they were delivered, some people left, but one guard stayed, and the guard started to help chop firewood.

Li Laogen heard the commotion and went outside. He saw with his own eyes the people bringing in a pile of mutton and chicken, and saw the guard chopping firewood quickly.

He found Li Qingzhi and said with emotion: "Ah Qing, that Mrs. Liu is really rich and has given me a lot of things!"

"Yes." Li Qingzhi smiled.

Li Laogen said: "Everyone in this capital is more powerful than the other, but I don't have any abilities."

Li Laogen, who has been afraid to go out and talk to people these days, feels a little depressed.

Li Qing said: "Dad, if you want to talk to someone, you can go talk to the guard who is chopping firewood."

Li Laogen's eyes lit up.

He really doesn't have much ability, and his status as Juren's father is a bit underwhelming in a place like Qingshi Lane.

But he is better than a guard!

Li Laogen found the guard and asked in Mandarin with a strong accent: "What's your name?"

Li Laogen was very small, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. He didn't look like a good person. The guard was a little wary when he heard his words, worried that he was here to pry for information.

The guard gave his alias.

Li Laogen didn't know that the other person was talking about a pseudonym. After passing the name, he started to show off: "It must be hard for you to be a guard for others, right? It's not easy for a young man."

"I had a hard time before, but luckily I got a good son!"

"My son is Jieyuan, did you know? When he took the imperial examination, he came first in Jiang'an Province!"

…

Li Laogen kept talking.

He talked about whatever came to his mind. At one moment he said how good Li Qingzhi was at reading and how he could never forget a photograph. At another moment he said that Li Qingzhi could write books and had written about Governor Zhang.

He also asked the guard to buy a few books written by Li Qingzhi and read them, so as to get acquainted with Li Qingzhi's talent.

Guard: "..."

He actually thought that this person came to talk to him to get information from him!

This man came to talk to him clearly to tell him all about Li Qingzhi's life!

Li Laogen became more and more excited as he talked, and his voice became louder and louder.

Concubine Liu had been staying in the room, but she also heard some things. One of Concubine Liu's maids even said: "My dear, I never thought that Mr. Li's father would be like this."

"Yeah..." Concubine Liu Gui was also a little surprised. Li Qingzhi and this little old man really looked like each other.

Nothing like it.

But from what the old man said, Li Qingzhi was quite powerful.

I think so. Li Qingzhi was able to pass the Jieyuan exam, how awesome is he?

I don't know how such a little old man could cultivate a Jieyuan.

Not long after Li Laogen chatted with the guard, it was time for dinner.

Because Concubine Liu sent a lot of ingredients, today's dinner was very sumptuous.

During the day, another guard came, and Concubine Liu now had two guards.

They brought the food to Concubine Liu's room and asked Concubine Liu to eat first, but Li Laogen followed in.

Li Laogen took a bowl and talked non-stop beside the two guards. When the two guards put down their food and went out, he followed them out again...

Concubine Liu Guifei has been living in the palace for these years and has never seen anyone like Li Laogen before, so she is a little surprised.

This little old man is a bit annoying, but quite interesting.

When Li Qingzhi came over to treat Qi'an in the evening, he apologized to Li Laogen: "Mrs. Liu, I'm sorry, since my father came to the capital, no one has chatted with him, and he loves to chat with people... "

Concubine Liu said: "It's okay... Mr. Li, you are really nothing like your father."

Li Qingzhi is handsome, but his father is different... There is no resemblance between the two people.

"I'm an adopted child, so it's not like that." Li Qing insisted.

"Your biological parents are willing to adopt you?" Liu Guifei was a little surprised.

Li Qing insisted: "There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. I don't even know who my biological parents are."

When he asked Li Laogen to talk to the guard, he had already anticipated the current situation, and now he said what needed to be said.

However, he was not in a hurry to say anything else. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about Qi'an's condition.

Concubine Liu suppressed the flashing thoughts in her heart and started chatting with Li Qingzhi.

But after the conversation was over, Concubine Liu immediately asked the guards around her to ask Li Laogen about Li Qingzhi's situation.

For Li Qingzhi's sake, Concubine Liu's two guards had always had a good attitude towards Li Laogen, but they never took the initiative to ask Li Laogen questions and only responded with a few words when Li Laogen spoke.

But after receiving the instructions from Concubine Liu Guifei...

The next day, they began to ask questions: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li doesn't look like you at all, but he looks like your wife?"

"Master Li, how did you teach Mr. Li?"

"Mr. Li, you must have spent a lot of money on providing Mr. Li with education, right?"

…

For a period of time, Li Laogen hid and did not tell anyone that Li Qingzhi was his son that he picked up for free.

But later everyone in Chongcheng County knew about it, and those people still envied him...

Li Laogen was willing to tell people about this: "I am an old bachelor and have never been married. Where did I get my wife? I picked up this son Li Qingzhi for nothing!"

"Am I awesome? I picked up such a son for nothing!"

"Li Qingzhi didn't need to spend money on me to study, and he even gave me money in return!"

"If you can be like me in the future and pick up a good son and bring him home, you can live a good life!"

…

Li Laogen was very proud.

But when these people asked Li Qingzhi about his past, he couldn't answer.

Neither the original owner nor Li Qingzhi told him in detail what happened before coming to Miaoqian Village. Concubine Liu Guifei soon learned this information.

At the same time, Lu Qingxi in the palace also found out about Li Qingzhi's situation.

Li Qingzhi's background is clean. It is impossible for him to know Concubine Liu, and it is impossible for him to have any ill intentions towards Concubine Liu.

As for his initiative to help people treat their illnesses... When he was in Chongcheng County, he was said to have taken in many homeless children.

Li Qingzhi said he wanted them to help him work, but he was actually very good to those children.

Li Qingzhi was also very knowledgeable. He had done something that some scholars looked down upon, that is, he had written books for Gou Tongzhi and Zhang Zhiru of Hexing Prefecture.

Speaking of which... he had also read the book written by Li Qing praising Zhang Zhiru.

At that time, he secretly made fun of Zhang Zhiru, feeling that Zhang Zhiru was a fake arrogant person who seemed not to care about anything on the surface, but secretly asked people to write a book praising him...

I didn't expect that the person who wrote the book was Li Qingzhi!

Lu Qingxi was slightly dissatisfied when he learned about this, but his wariness towards Li Qingzhi also disappeared.

He has a lot of things to do now. After confirming that Li Qingzhi is not a bad person, he will not care about this person.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four days since Concubine Liu came to Li's house.

When he woke up this morning, the first thing Li Qingzhi did was still knock on the door of the east wing to help Qi'an treat his illness.

After once again using all his energy on Qi'an, Li Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi'an is out of danger and can even eat normally.

However, Qi An's face was still the same as before. This was not a matter of life and death, so Li Qingzhi was not in a hurry to help treat it.

After the treatment, Li Qingzhi said to Concubine Liu: "Mrs. Liu, when you make porridge later, break up the eggs and put them in. This child can eat some eggs now." Eggs are rich in nutrients and are used to replenish the body. Just right.

"I understand." Concubine Liu nodded seriously.

Four days have passed, and Concubine Liu has determined one thing - Qi An will not die!

Li Qingzhi really saved Qi An!

Although Qian's face was ruined, he survived!

Based on this alone, Li Qingzhi is her benefactor!

"From now on, I won't help him get acupuncture at night. I will only give him a checkup twice in the morning and evening," Li Qing insisted. "There is no need to feed him ginseng. It is not good for children to eat too much ginseng."

"Okay," Concubine Liu agreed again, "Thank you, Mr. Li!"

"You're welcome." Li Qing insisted.

In the past two days, Concubine Liu Gui learned a lot about Li Qingzhi from Li Laogen. She had already read all the information about Li Qingzhi that Lu Qingxi had investigated.

At this moment, Qi'an was out of danger... Concubine Liu Guifei chatted with Li Qingzhi: "Mr. Li, who did you learn your medical skills from?"

"I learned it from an old gentleman." Li Qing insisted.

Concubine Liu Guifei continued to chat. As they chatted, she asked about Li Qingzhi's origins: "I heard that you came to Chongcheng County when you were eighteen years old. Where did you live before?"

Li Qingzhi hesitated for a while, and then said: "I used to live in Yuxi Mansion."

Concubine Liu Guifei said: "I have read "Escape from Famine" written by Qingdu Sanren. Did you escape from famine to Chongcheng County?"

"Yes, there was a flood in Yuxi Prefecture, so I fled to Chongcheng County."

Concubine Liu looks very gentle, and her voice is even gentler. Talking to her makes your heart calm down.

Of course, she was not like this when Qi An's life and death were uncertain.

In short, Concubine Liu has always been a person who can make people take off their guard and be willing to talk to her more.

In addition, Li Qing insisted on talking about his situation, and the two had a good chat.

The original owner had faked his identity when he fled.

In order to avoid trouble, he forged an identity for himself, which was the identity of his parents who died young. Those parents were fabricated by him.

Now…

Li Qing said: "I used to live in Yu County. I don't know who my biological parents are. My adoptive father was a tenant farmer and my adoptive mother used to be a maid. My adoptive mother couldn't give birth, so they picked me up and raised me. Well, I have a photographic memory. When I was a child, I secretly listened to my teacher's lectures outside the school and learned to read... When I first arrived in Chongcheng County, I told people that I was a scholar, but before that I actually didn't read much. Book…"

Li Qingzhi said a lot, and what he said had a complete logical chain.

For example, before he arrived in Chongcheng County, he only knew how to read and did not understand the meaning of the Four Books and Five Classics, so he was regarded as a poor scholar.

For example, his medical skills were learned while escaping. He had a photographic memory, so he learned them relatively quickly. Unfortunately, the doctor who taught him medical skills died while escaping, and he never had the chance to practice his medical skills.

For example, the money he paid for the land in Miaoqian Village was given by the doctor who taught him medical skills.

Another example is that he recognized Li Laogen as his father because he hoped to stay in Miaoqian Village and live a stable life.

Li Qingzhi said a lot, but he didn't mention that he was once caught digging rocks.

If this matter was publicized, King Jin would definitely make trouble for him. Normally, he would never tell anyone he didn't know.

Concubine Liu listened and looked at Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi is not very similar to the emperor, but their noses look the same, and as for the rest...

The emperor's appearance now is different from when he was young. As long as she keeps saying that Li Qingzhi looks like the emperor, over time, the emperor will definitely believe her.

The emperor never doubted her and Lu Qingxi.

Sometimes she hated the emperor for being too soft-hearted, but at other times, she was glad that the emperor was a soft-hearted person.

If the emperor had not been soft-hearted, she and Lu Qingxi, who had seen the emperor's tragic past, might have been killed long ago.

As for Li Qingzhi... Li Qingzhi is really a good person.

Li Laogen never gave Li Qingzhi any help, but he recognized Li Laogen as his father and has been taking care of Li Laogen.

Li Laogen, a man who suffered a lot when he was young and suffered from severe physical deficits, is now well-fed, sleeping well and in good health even at an advanced age, thanks to Li Qingzhi.

If Li Qingzhi was her "son", he would definitely not turn against her or want to kill her An An after he ascended the throne.

Li Qingzhi is also outstanding.

She wanted to find a son for Qi Jun, but she didn't want to find one who was too bad. Li Qingzhi was perfect. He was Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province. Neither King Jin nor King Yan was as outstanding as him!

Qi Jun will definitely be very happy to have such a son, and maybe he can live a few more years!

Li Qingzhi chatted with Concubine Liu for a long time before leaving.

After Li Qingzhi left, Concubine Liu also opened the door and went out, and then she saw Li Qingzhi teaching three children to read.

Li Qingzhi was not only kind to Li Laogen, but also kind to his wife and children.

Such a person,

Always reassuring.

Concubine Liu Guifei thought of this and wrote a letter to be sent to Lu Qingxi.

In the letter, she briefly introduced Li Qingzhi's situation, saying that she thought Li Qingzhi was very suitable, and asked Lu Qingxi to make a judgment on whether to choose Li Qingzhi.

A few days later, the emperor's condition has stabilized.

Lu Qingxi cleaned up the palace, killed many people, and released all the older eunuchs and maids in the palace.

Anyway, there are not many people in the harem, so there is no need for so many people to serve!

In addition, the people outside Jin Prince's Mansion and Yanjun Prince's Mansion have also been removed... Lu Qingxi could not find any evidence to testify against these two people, so he had to let them go.

But even if he did not pursue King Jin and King Yan, the ministers in the court knew that Qi'an's injury was closely related to these two people.

They actually took action against a child... Officials like Governor Zhang in the court inevitably had a bad impression of Prince Jin and Prince An.

Lu Qingxi was busy for a few days and finally got some free time before leaving the palace.

He first arranged for people to find Lu Mingshan or other knowledgeable people, and then asked Li Zhu if he had found the person he was looking for.

Concubine Liu Guifei's letter was delivered at this time.

Chapter 218 Observation

Li Zhu has been looking for people in the capital in accordance with Lu Qingxi's instructions in the past few days, but he has not found anyone who meets Lu Qingxi's requirements.

There are still a lot of orphans in the capital, but most of those orphans don't look very good. Even if there are good-looking ones, they don't look like the people in the portraits, or they don't match their age.

When he learned that Li Zhu had not found anyone, Lu Qingxi was a little disappointed, but he also knew that it was impossible to find a suitable candidate so quickly: "Look around. If there is no one in the capital, look elsewhere, but you must be careful. No movement or noise." If we make a big fuss, we can't let Jin King Yan Junwang's people discover it."

Li Zhu agreed, but also felt helpless.

If the noise is not too big, it will be very troublesome to find someone.

While the two were talking, someone came in from outside and handed Lu Qingxi a letter.

When Lu Qingxi saw the letter, he knew it must be from Concubine Liu Guifei.

He had told his men that if they received a letter from Concubine Liu, they would send it to him immediately no matter what he was doing.

After making a gesture to ask Li Zhu to wait for a while, Lu Qingxi began to read the letter in his hand.

At this sight, he was stunned.

Concubine Liu Gui actually chose Li Qingzhi? That Li Qingzhi happens to be an orphan? This was a bit of a coincidence, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

His and Concubine Liu's idea just came up, and it was impossible for President Li Qing to know their guesses in advance and make such an arrangement.

But Li Qingzhi is indeed a good person.

In this world, orphans without fathers and mothers are still in their twenties... He knows very well what these people are like.

It's already good if they don't try to sneak around!

Bringing such a person to the emperor and saying that he is the emperor's son... If he really did this, Lu Qingxi would feel sorry for the emperor.

Li Qingzhi is different. He is Jieyuan from Jiang'an Province. He has a photographic memory and is handsome...

This is what the son of the emperor and Concubine Liu should be like!

But what kind of person he was, he wanted to see for himself, and he also sent people to Chongcheng County and Yuxi Prefecture to check to see if what Li Qingzhi said was true or false.

Lu Qingxi thought for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Li Zhu still standing respectfully in front of him.

Lu Qingxi said: "Zhenzhu, don't be in a hurry when looking for someone. You can look for him slowly. Besides... if there is any news about Lu Mingshan, please tell me immediately."

After the Plum Appreciation Party, Lu Mingshan became more and more famous.

After that day, this person suddenly disappeared out of thin air!

Then inexplicably, there were rumors that he was a god who came down to earth, punished evildoers, and then returned to heaven.

Lu Qingxi came to Lu Mingshan because he thought that if Lu Mingshan had real ability, he could ask Lu Mingshan to help him look at his face. If Lu Mingshan didn't have real ability... he could let Lu Mingshan go see His Majesty and tell him that His Majesty has a child. Living among the people!

Lu Qingxi wants to find Lu Mingshan? Li Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then agreed respectfully.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingxi asked Li Zhu to leave, and then found someone to hurry up and go to Chongcheng County and Yu County to investigate Li Qingzhi's identity.

Li Qingzhi didn't know much about these things, but he had some guesses.

He could clearly feel that after he told Concubine Liu about his fabricated origin, Concubine Liu became more close to him.

Concubine Liu Guifei should have chosen him, but such an important matter will definitely not happen immediately.

A few days passed in the blink of an eye. Qi'an's condition became more and more stable, and Li Qingzhi's body also had sufficient energy.

Qi'an was too young, less than two years old. Li Qingzhi felt sorry for the child, so he used his spare energy to help him relieve pain and make him feel better.

After the pain was gone, Qi An could sleep and his appetite was better. Eat well and sleep well, and his body will recover quickly.

Concubine Liu Guifei had been prepared that Qi An would die, but now that Qi An could save a life, she was satisfied.

In addition, she wanted Li Qingzhi to be her "son"... Every afternoon when the weather was good, Concubine Liu would hold Qi'an and come to the yard to chat with Mrs. Qian and Li Laogen.

She and Mrs. Qian had many topics to talk about, and even Li Laogen, she could talk a few words.

When Liu Guifei was a child, her family was very poor, and she also lived a hard life.

Moreover... Li Laogen is a person who can talk a lot by himself even if others don't talk to him!

Under the guidance of Concubine Liu, Li Laogen poured beans out of a bamboo tube and told many things about Li Qingzhi, even the fact that Li Qingzhi was once caught digging rocks.

Concubine Liu Gui did not expect that Li Qingzhi had encountered so many things.

But after getting along like this... Li Qingzhi's family is pretty good, and Li Qingzhi is even better.

Those children living in Qingshi Lane like to be close to Li Qingzhi.

In the yard, three children were running and jumping. In the west wing, two cooks were cooking again. On the porch, the maid was washing clothes with hot water.

The life of the Li family was very stable, which she yearned for inexplicably.

But she will probably stay in the palace for the rest of her life.

After basking in the sun for a while, Concubine Liu saw Jin Xiaoye coming back from outside.

After going to the Plum Appreciation Party, Jin Xiaoye and Li Zhu discussed opening a shop together, but because of many things recently, the matter was shelved.

But Juewei Zhai can be opened. In fact, Jin Xiaoye has almost prepared Juewei Zhai!

Juewizhai's braised meat is not expensive in Jiang'an Province, but it is different in Beijing.

The price of buying chickens and ducks near the capital is already more expensive than in Chongcheng County. If they want to buy chickens and ducks in large quantities like they did in Chongcheng County, they can easily be threatened with supply...

Just take the route of a small number of high-quality products and sell them exclusively to rich people!

The capital is very prosperous and it is difficult to rent a shop, but Jin Xiaoye still rented one. The shop has a common layout, with a shop in the front and a small courtyard in the back with several houses.

Most of the shops at this time used the building in the back as a warehouse, or hired people to make goods in the back.

For example, a rice shop will hire someone to pound rice in the back, and a garment shop will hire someone to make clothes in the back.

Yes, the bookstore will find someone to copy the books in the back...

They sell braised food, you can make braised food at the back!

Jin Xiaoye picked one of Chang Zhan's two apprentices and planned to ask him to go to the newly opened Juewei Zhai when it opened. With a few more apprentices, the shop would be open. .

As for the price of braised food in the shop...

Spicy duck sells for 20 taels of silver each, ordinary braised chicken and braised duck sells for 1 tael of silver each, and other braised dishes are also priced very high.

With such an outrageous price, ordinary people will definitely not buy it to eat, but the most indispensable thing in the capital is rich people, and their shops do not prey on the poor.

"Mrs. Liu." Jin Xiaoye greeted Concubine Liu with a smile.

"Mrs. Li." Concubine Liu replied with a smile, looking at Jin Xiaoye with a gentle look.

She liked Jin Xiaoye very much, she liked Jin Xiaoye as a person, and she also liked Jin Xiaoye's life.

In the capital, there are so many women who are trapped in the back house all their lives, but Jin Xiaoye can go out every day and do business, which is really good.

"Mrs. Liu, my shop will open tomorrow. I brought back some braised food today. I'll have it cut by someone later and you can have a taste too." Jin Xiaoye added.

Li Qingzhi told Concubine Liu's identity on the first night she stayed there.

She was shocked when she first found out, this was a noble concubine, a noble concubine!

Even though Li Qingzhi comforted her, she didn't dare to talk to Concubine Liu Guifei at first.

It was a coincidence that Concubine Liu hardly went out during those days!

A few days later, seeing that Li Laogen dared to enter and leave Concubine Liu's room, Jin Xiaoye became less afraid of Concubine Liu. Now, she could talk to Concubine Liu calmly.

The queen in the palace is also a human being, there is nothing to be afraid of!

"Thank you, Mrs. Li." Concubine Liu smiled.

She knew what kind of shop Jin Xiaoye opened, and now she could smell the fragrance wafting from the basket Jin Xiaoye was carrying... She wanted to eat it!

During dinner that day, Concubine Liu tasted the braised meat from Juewei Zhai.

It tastes really good, especially the spicy duck, she really likes it!

I heard that the spicy dishes at Qingyun Tower are also delicious... She wasn't interested before and didn't follow the emperor when he went out to eat, but now she wants to try it.

If she finds time, she can go to Qingyun Tower for a meal and take Qi An with her.

Concubine Liu gave Qi'an a taste of braised chicken, then hugged Qi'an and coaxed him to sleep.

Concubine Liu likes life outside the palace, but she is a concubine after all and cannot stay outside the palace all the time.

That night, Lu Qingxi sent a letter asking her to return to the palace.

Qi Jun has recovered and wants to see her and Qi An.

Moreover, it was impossible for her to stay outside the palace all the time. If someone from Prince Jin or Prince Yan discovered her... she might not be fine, but it would definitely bring harm to Li Qingzhi's family.

Early the next morning, Li Qingzhijiu came to treat Qi'an.

He had already healed all the fatal injuries on Qi'an's body, and what was left was Qi'an's burned skin and eyes. He couldn't heal these wounds without exposing his golden fingers.

At this stage, he cannot be exposed, so he cannot be treated.

Li Qingzhi no longer gives Qi'an "needle injections". When he diagnoses and treats Qi'an, Concubine Liu Guifei is sitting next to him.

Li Qing took Qi'an's pulse and said to Concubine Liu: "An'an recovered quickly and is out of danger."

"Will his injury get worse?" Liu Guifei asked.

Li Qingzhi was certain: "No, but his face and eyes... I can't do anything about it."

"It's good that An An can survive... Mr. Li, I have something to do at home and I want to go home... Will this affect An An?"

When Li Qingzhi heard what Liu Guifei said, he knew that Liu Guifei was planning to return to the palace: "An'an is much better now. From now on, she just needs to take good care of her, and there is no need to stay here with me anymore."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Concubine Liu thanked her and asked someone to give Li Qingzhi five hundred taels of silver.

"Madam, you gave me too much." Li Qingzhi was a little embarrassed.

But Concubine Liu insisted on giving it: "You saved An An, let alone five hundred taels, I should give you fifty thousand taels."

Li Qingzhi finally accepted the money and watched Concubine Liu leave.

It was a coincidence that as soon as he sent Concubine Liu away, Chang Duan sent a letter saying that he had just received news that the emperor would come to Qingyun Tower for dinner today at noon.

After Li Qingzhi had a guess about what Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi were going to do, he contacted Chang Duan.

He asked Chang Duan to contact him immediately when the emperor went to Qingyun Tower for dinner.

Li Qingzhi wanted to take a sneak peek at the emperor.

If you want to pretend to be the emperor's son, you must look like the emperor.

Li Qingzhi's current face must not be greatly moved, but sometimes a slight adjustment to the eyes and the like would produce a huge difference.

He can use his golden fingers to make himself more like an emperor.

He can also learn the Emperor's demeanor and movements by observing him.

Some couples become more and more similar after being together for a long time. Part of the reason is that their expressions and movements become more and more similar.

Since you have to pretend to be a prince, you have to do your best!

Concubine Liu Gui has left... Li Qingzhi went out, and after making sure no one was following her, he went to Qingyun Tower.

Feng Da had secretly seen the emperor before. This time... Chang Duan found a place where Feng Da had stayed before and asked Li Qing to stay: "Mr. Li, if you stay here, you will definitely be able to see the emperor when he comes. ."

Every time Lu Qingxi brought the emperor over for a meal, he would ask his guards to check the place where he was eating inside and out. Li Qingzhi could not get close and could only take a few glances from a distance.

"Okay." Li Qing agreed.

The emperor's decision to leave the palace this time was sudden.

He originally wanted to go to Concubine Liu, but Lu Qingxi said that Concubine Liu was still angry and asked him not to go there. He also persuaded him to buy some gifts that Concubine Liu liked and gave them to Concubine Liu...

The emperor was moved and decided to go out of the palace to buy some gifts in person to please Concubine Liu.

"Your Majesty, later we can ask shopkeeper Duan to prepare two portable dishes and send them to the empress." Lu Qingxi brought the emperor to Qingyun

building.

After Qi'an's accident, the emperor felt very uncomfortable. Although he managed to hold on, his appetite has been very poor these days and he can't eat much every day.

Lu Qingxi hoped that he could eat more when he came to Qingyun Tower.

"Okay," Qi Jun agreed, "I'm going to trouble Shopkeeper Duan."

"It's his honor to cook for you and my wife," Lu Qingxi said.

The two of them walked towards Qingyun Tower while talking.

Li Qingzhi had good eyesight. Although he was far away, he could still clearly see the emperor's appearance, and then turned around and left.

Lu Qingxi felt something and subconsciously looked in one direction, but only saw a figure from behind. That person was wearing clothes worn by a waiter in a restaurant.

He didn't notice anything strange, lowered his head and continued talking to the emperor.

On the other side, Li Qingzhi had already entered the room used by Chang Duan to rest, and Feng Da was waiting there.

"Mr. Li, have you seen the emperor?" Feng Da asked curiously.

"I saw it." Li Qing insisted.

Feng Daodao: "I really didn't expect the emperor to be like that. He seems to be dying at any time..."

Li Qingzhi didn't say anything. The emperor felt that way.

There wasn't much life in him, and he looked old.

He can survive only by the various precious medicinal materials that the imperial doctor prepares every day.

In addition, the emperor suffered from cataracts.

Li Qingzhi saw the emperor from a distance and confirmed this... He was still weak and could not see clearly. The emperor's current quality of life was really poor.

But as long as the emperor is not dead yet, if he helps the emperor with treatment, the emperor will definitely live a few more years.

Feng DaLe left, but Li Qingzhi stayed in the room, recalling the emperor's appearance.

The emperor is old and looks very different from when he was young, but from his current appearance, we can still infer what he looked like when he was young.

Their noses should be similar, but as for everything else... Li Qingzhi planned to adjust his eyes and eyebrows.

For the eyes, just adjust the eyelids. As for the eyebrows... Li Qingzhi deduced the shape of the emperor's eyebrows when he was young through the emperor's eyebrows he saw today and the young emperor's eyebrows in the portrait, and planned to copy them.

Of course, this has to be done slowly, but there is no need to rush.

As for the emperor's demeanor...the emperor's demeanor and movements now are definitely completely different from those when he was young. After thinking about it, Li Qingzhi decided not to learn from it.

Instead of imitating the emperor, it is better to imitate Concubine Liu.

It is said that Concubine Liu once gave birth to a child, but unfortunately she died young.

Besides the two princesses, the emperor only had this child.

Therefore... Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi found someone to pretend to be the prince, and they must have made a fuss through Liu Guifei's child who died young. In other words, in addition to being the emperor's child, he was also Liu Guifei's child.

You can also imitate Concubine Liu Guifei's facial expressions and movements, right?

But he couldn't copy everything, as it would easily reveal flaws.

All he had to do was learn a part of it and make the emperor feel friendly after meeting him.

Li Qingzhi was modifying his facial model in his mind when Li Zhu arrived.

Li Qingzhi and Li Zhu hadn't seen each other for several days. After meeting, Li Zhu told her that Lu Qingxi asked her to find Lu Mingshan, and also asked others to find a Taoist monk who could tell fortunes.

"Azhi, what do you think Eunuch Lu wants to do?" Li Zhu asked Li Qingzhi.

Lu Mingshan was in her hands, but she never handed him over for fear that Lu Mingshan would be exposed.

Li Qingzhi asked: "Has Eunuch Lu ever prayed to gods or worshiped Buddha before?"

Li Zhu said: "No, Eunuch Lu doesn't believe this. One time he told someone that when he was having a hard time in the past, he chanted sutras every day and no Bodhisattva came to help him. On the contrary, he stopped reciting sutras later and life got better and better, so he didn't believe it. "

"Since he doesn't believe it, he must be looking for Lu Mingshan and other Taoist monks. He must have other things to do," Li Qing insisted. "Maybe what he wants is a fake Taoist priest." Li Zhu immediately said I understood what Li Qingzhi meant.

Lu Qingxi approached Lu Mingshan, perhaps with the same idea as her before.

In this case, she can make a deal with Lu Mingshan.

"Sister, don't hand Lu Mingshan over to Lu Qingxi. This matter is very important. If Lu Mingshan goes, he may be in danger." Li Qing insisted.

"Azhi, even if he wasn't there, there would be someone else, but it was Lu Mingshan... Eunuch Lu would not kill people himself, he usually let his men clean them up... I can save him then," Li Zhu said, "How about you help Lu Mingshan change his appearance after Lu Mingshan finishes his work, and we can send Lu Mingshan away?"

Li Qingzhi didn't want to implicate Lu Mingshan, but as Li Zhu said, if Lu Qingxi didn't find Lu Mingshan, he would definitely find someone else to take his place.

If they find someone else who doesn't know them or trust them, they may not be able to save him. Instead, it's Lu Mingshan...

Li Qingzhi knew that Li Zhu would most likely hand over Lu Mingshan, so he said, "Sister, let me go see him."

Lu Mingshan can survive if he has "real ability".

He could have Lu Mingshan cooperate with him in several scenes, turn all of Lu Mingshan's eyebrows and hair white, and make Lu Mingshan a liar who is usually a liar, but occasionally can become a ghost or enter some mysterious state with real abilities. people.

In this way, Lu Qingxi might not dare to take action against Lu Mingshan.

At this time, even if people say they don't believe in ghosts and gods, they don't completely disbelieve.

Every time Jin Xiaoye worships his ancestors, he always chants "Old Master, come and eat"... Many people believe it when they need it, but don't believe it when they don't.

Li Qingzhi was very busy that day. After meeting the emperor, he went to meet Lu Mingshan again.

He carefully explained to Lu Mingshan what to do after meeting Lu Qingxi...

Lu Mingshan said with a sad face: "Can I not go to see Lu Qingxi?"

The method Li Qingzhi said was indeed reliable, but it was still dangerous. He was afraid that he would be beaten.

No, being beaten is a trivial matter. This matter is all related to Eunuch Lu. If he is not careful, he will die!

"He's been looking for you." Li Qing insisted.

"Okay..." Lu Mingshan sighed.

What else could he do? You can only listen to Li Qingzhi.

The emperor was at Qingyun Tower that day and still had a good meal.

He also bought some food at Qingyun Tower and planned to take it back to Concubine Liu.

As a result, when walking from Qingyun Tower to the palace, the emperor suddenly smelled an alluring fragrance. This smell did not belong to the various delicacies in Qingyun Tower.

"What is being sold over there?" the emperor asked curiously.

Lu Qingxi saw the words "Juewei Zhai" and the smell... "Your Majesty, that should be a braised meat shop."

"This smells really good. Let's go buy some?" the emperor suggested.

Lu Qingxi always tried his best to satisfy the emperor's requests. Now that the emperor wanted to eat braised meat, he immediately asked someone to buy it.

After buying, the two of them continued walking to the palace.

Concubine Liu took Qi'an back to the palace early in the morning. After settling down, she asked the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Qi'an.

The doctors were a little confused when they heard the news.

After so many days, they felt that Qi An was dead long ago... Could this child still be alive?

Don't think Concubine Liu is crazy, does she think Qi An is still alive?

When the late emperor was on the throne, a woman in the harem gave birth to a son. The late emperor's concubine was unhappy when she saw it and killed the child. After that, the woman carried her son's body and wandered around the palace for several days, even if the child It smelled so bad that they all believed that the child was still alive. Later, the late emperor sent people to snatch the child, and the woman even started fighting like crazy and died in the chaos.

I hope Concubine Liu will not be like this! A group of imperial doctors came to Liu Guifei's palace uneasily, and then discovered that Qi An, whose face had been disfigured, was actually alive!

Although his face has been burned and his whole face looks like a monster, he is alive and well!

"I have been chanting sutras in front of the Buddha every day. It must be because the Buddha took pity on me that An An could survive!" Liu Guifei smiled and asked the doctors to look at Qi An's injuries.

Qi'an was fine. As for his face, there was nothing they could do.

The imperial doctor came to such a conclusion, and after finishing speaking, he shrank aside like a quail, fearing that Concubine Liu Guifei would cause trouble for them.

It was a coincidence that at this time, the emperor came back from outside.

Chapter 219 Opening

The emperor has not seen Liu Guifei for many days.

He left the palace for a walk today. Although he basically took a sedan along the way, he was still very tired. But when he saw Concubine Liu Guifei, his fatigue dissipated a lot.

"Aman," the emperor called Concubine Liu's name, "I'm sorry."

Concubine Liu's eyes turned red when she heard this apology.

At this time, the emperor looked at Qi An in Concubine Liu's arms.

His eyes were not good enough to see clearly, so he had to get closer to see.

Although Qi'an's life was no longer in danger, the injuries on his face still looked terrible.

The emperor was shocked when he saw it, and tears flowed from his cloudy eyes: "An'an... is he hurt so seriously?"

Lu Qingxi had already signaled for the imperial doctors and the serving maids and eunuchs to go out.

These people all breathed a sigh of relief and left the palace quietly and quickly.

After they left, Concubine Liu cried loudly: "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, An An wouldn't have suffered this!"

"It's all my fault, it's my fault..." The emperor was also very sad, and tears kept falling.

The two finally held each other's hands and cried.

When they started crying, Lu Qingxi hugged Qi An and walked out of the room.

Concubine Liu must have something to say to the emperor, so he wouldn't bother her.

After taking Qi An outside, Lu Qingxi said: "Where were those imperial doctors just now? Call them back."

The imperial doctor, who breathed a sigh of relief and planned to go back, was called again

When he came back, he stood in front of Lu Qingxi tremblingly.

Fortunately, Lu Qingxi didn't say much. After carefully asking about Qi An's injuries, he asked them to prepare ointment for Qi An.

"An'an, Uncle Xi will tell you a story..." Lu Qingxi talked to Qi'an and coaxed him.

Qi'an was too young. He was less than two years old and didn't know what he had encountered.

Not being able to see anything made him uncomfortable, but having someone to hold him and comfort him made him feel at ease again.

"My An An is the most well-behaved." Lu Qingxi praised the child in his arms and thought of Li Qingzhi again.

Before, he thought that the child would definitely die.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingzhi turned out to be really capable.

Lu Qingxi knew that it was Li Qingzhi who saved Qi An, but the imperial doctors did not know.

Qi'an suddenly recovered, and they were puzzled: "The young master's injury is very serious, I didn't expect him to recover."

"His pulse is still very stable, which is really rare."

"Young children do have an easier time recovering from injuries."

"That's how it seems."

"I don't know who is the person who attacked the young master. He is really ruthless..."

…

Although the emperor was always sick, these imperial doctors liked him very much.

The emperor was an easy person to get along with, and Concubine Liu never looked for trouble.

I don't know what the future emperor will be like.

Outside the palace.

Not far from Qingyun Tower, a new braised food restaurant called Juewei Zhai opened.

This shop was opened with an alluring fragrance.

Anyone passing by this shop could smell the fragrance coming from the shop. At that time, many people stopped and wanted to buy something to try.

But when I asked about the price...

"One tael of silver for a braised chicken? This is too expensive!"

Jin Xiaoye hired two young people in the capital to help look after the store and sell braised food. Both of them were well-spoken. One of them said: "Sir, our Juewei Zhai uses a lot of braised food that is only available in the south." Made with precious seasonings, it's worth a lot of money."

Another person also said: "The recipe for our braised meat is passed down from the imperial chef of the previous dynasty. In the past, only the emperor of the previous dynasty could eat it!"

The two of them sang and harmonized, talking about Juewei Zhai.

But the price... the few people who entered the store could afford it, but they were reluctant to buy such expensive braised food and had no choice but to leave.

Jin Xiaoye had been watching from behind and didn't feel surprised at all when he saw all this. Prices in Beijing are higher than in Chongcheng County, and the income of people here is also higher than in Chongcheng County.

But one tael of silver per chicken is still a bit expensive.

But there are always people buying it. Back then, the King of Jin dug stones from Hexing Mansion and sold them in the capital. A single stone could be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver! Indeed, there are always people buying it.

A young man in luxurious clothes came in. After asking the price, he ordered a braised chicken and a spicy duck without thinking.

The waiter wrapped the chicken and duck in oil paper, put it in a bamboo basket, and handed it to the young man.

This basket is given as a gift. They sell braised food so expensively, so it's nothing to give a basket as a gift.

The price of bamboo baskets is not expensive these days. After all, bamboo grows quickly and is not valuable, and labor is not valuable either.

With the first customer, there will soon be the second and third.

Some people even came in and bought some of each braised food...

They didn't prepare much braised food, and by the afternoon, there wasn't much left.

At this time, a young man in his thirties wearing a green shirt came in from outside.

This man is Chang Duan. Of course in the capital, everyone calls him Duan Jin.

Chang Duan was once caught digging for rocks. Although he had taken good care of himself in the past two years and had improved his health, he still looked a little vicissitudes of life.

At this time, he entered the store and smelled it: "This smell..."

He looked so happy to see the hunter that he bought all the remaining braised food in one go!

The two guys from Jueweizhai were a little surprised, but they still packed all the braised food and handed it to him, filling four baskets.

Chang Duan just carried four baskets back to Qingyun Tower...

That night, all the gourmets in Beijing knew one thing - a braised meat shop had opened in Beijing, and even shopkeeper Duan Jin and Duan were full of praise for the braised meat in that shop!

In the capital, who doesn't know that Shopkeeper Duan is very good at cooking?

There are even rumors that even the emperor likes the dishes cooked by shopkeeper Duan!

Regarding this matter... the common people only regarded it as a rumor, but the big shots in the capital all knew it was a fact.

For this reason, some people even think that Duan Jin is the best cook in the capital.

Now that Duan Jin likes the braised food from a braised food restaurant, they must buy some to try!

So the next day, as soon as Juewei Zhai opened, many people came to buy braised food, and these people didn't care about the price at all!

The braised meat they prepared was sold out by noon.

Forget it, Chang Duan came again and ordered some braised food from them, saying that he would sell it in his restaurant...

But in just two days, Juewei Zhai was on the right track.

This is no surprise to Li Qingzhi.

Juewizhai's braised meat is equivalent to a luxury food in Beijing.

Since it is a luxury product, even if it is more expensive, some people will buy it!

Even the more expensive it is, the more topical it is, and the more people want to buy it and try it.

Li Qingzhi went to a party held by Juen that day and heard some Juen talking about Jueweizhai: "The braised meat of Jueweizhai is really delicious!"

"Juewei Zhai's spicy duck is even more delicious than Qingyun Tower's spicy dishes!"

"I heard that Mr. Duan from Qingyun Tower eats Juewei Zhai's braised meat every day recently."

"What is this? I heard that the Minister of Household Affairs sends someone to buy it every day!"

"Some people also saw the eunuchs in the palace going to buy..."

…

When these people said this, those who had never eaten it before immediately became curious: "Is that braised food really so delicious?"

"I'm going to buy some to try too."

"I'll ask someone to buy it later."

…

Among all the people, only Juren from Jiang'an Province looked at each other with a strange expression.

"Brother Du, why have you been silent? Have you ever eaten Jueweizhai's braised meat?" someone asked Du Yongning.

Du Yongning glanced at Li Qingzhi and said, "I've eaten."

"Brother Du, what do you think it tastes like?"

"It's very delicious. When I was in Jiang'an Province, I loved eating Juewei Zhai's braised meat." Du Yongning said.

"Jiang'an Province?" This person is curious?

"This Juewei Zhai comes from our Jiang'an Province," said another Juren from Jiang'an Province. "In Jiang'an Province, it's not that expensive."

"Indeed."

"I used to like Jueweizhai's braised meat the most, but its current price... I can no longer afford it!"

…

In Jiang'an Province, Juewei Zhai is not available everywhere, but because Jin Xiaoye opened two shops in the provincial capital, there are many restaurants in the provincial capital, and ordered braised meat from Juewei Zhai, the juren who went to Beijing to take the exam, Most of them have been eaten.

"Juewei Zhai is from Jiang'an Province, how come it came to the capital?" A person from another province asked curiously.

Du Yongning said: "Because Li Zixiao came to the capital!"

"What does this have to do with Li Zixiao?" Everyone was curious.

Du Yongning said: "Juewei Zhai is opened by Li Zixiao's wife."

Everyone looked at Li Qingzhi in surprise, and asked in awe: "Brother Li, Juewei Zhai is sold cheaply in Jiang'an Province, why is it so expensive in the capital?"

Li Qingzhi could only give out the reason he had thought of for a long time: "Some of the seasonings used to make braised meat are only found in the south. If they are transported thousands of miles to the capital, the price will double. The price of chicken and duck in the capital is also expensive." , the shop rent far exceeds that of Jiang'an Province..."

This reason is tenable and acceptable to everyone.

But there must be a few people who are cheerful and have a good relationship with Li Qingzhi, clamoring for Li Qingzhi to treat them and treat them to Jueweizhai's braised food.

Li Qingzhi smiled and agreed, saying that he would definitely bring some braised food to the next gathering for them to taste.

Li Qingzhi is a person who is good at making friends. He has a good relationship with these people. After hearing what he said, everyone started talking about what they wanted to eat, and the atmosphere was very lively.

At the same time, no one present, including Du Yongning, noticed that Li Qingzhi's eyebrows had changed slightly compared to before.

When Juewei Zhai was booming, two more shops opened in the capital.

Of these two shops, one specializes in selling jewelry, and the other specializes in rouge and gouache. The latter also sells an expensive but easy-to-use bath bean. Use this bath bean to wash your face and hands. Not only can it be washed very clean, but it can also leave behind Some fragrance.

Of course, the price is not cheap!

Both shops were opened by Prince Yan, and the person in charge of the shops was Qian Fugui. As soon as the shops opened, business was booming.

Upon seeing this, Prince Yan felt that it was the right thing to call Qian Fugui to help him do business and make money.

Qian Fugui is really a magician, especially good at making money.

If he had been left in charge of Yulon Trading Company, and if nothing happened to his family, Yulon Trading Company might still be running smoothly! It's all Lu Qingxi's fault!

But now, Lu Qingxi must be feeling very uncomfortable. After all, Qi An in the palace has been deposed.

So what if the child survives? With a face that was burned to a disgraceful appearance, it was no longer possible for Qi An to be the emperor!

It was a pity for the manpower he had installed in the palace. After this time, almost all the nails he had in the palace were removed.

But it's worth it, after all, Qi An is dead.

King Yanjun gave Qian Fugui some more money and asked Qian Fugui to find more craftsmen to make rouge gouache and bath beans, and then let Qian Fugui leave.

After Qian Fugui left, Prince Yan's husband said, "Your Majesty, there are many Juren gathered in the capital... You can go and talk to those Juren."

King Jin has always had a bad temper, but Prince Yan's external image is gentle and approachable.

Since many years ago, Prince Yan has been using this face to contact low-ranking officials in the capital and win over many people.

Now that so many people have come to the capital, it's time for Corporal Wang Lixian of Yan County.

Prince Yan did not reject this. He asked his husband: "Sir, among those who have passed the exam, are there many people worth winning over?"

Mr. Na said: "There are not as many as three years ago. The capital has been turbulent recently, and some people from good families did not come to participate in the imperial examination this time, just waiting for the future Enke..."

When a new emperor ascends the throne, he will often grant favors.

Everyone knows that the emperor will not live long... For those candidates who have access to know some of the developments in the court, if they take the imperial examination early next year, they will get into trouble. It is better to wait for the new emperor to ascend the throne and the situation is stable, and then participate in Enke.

As for Prince Yan, what he wants to win over most are these people with backgrounds!

Now that these Juren have not come to the capital, there are naturally fewer Juren to win over.

But there are still some!

Prince Yan's husband took out a list, and Li Qingzhi's name was at the top of the list!

Prince Yan was a little curious when he saw this; "Who is this Li Zixiao? I have never heard of him before."

"He is Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province. It is said that Governor Zhang admires him very much. His articles are also very good. He is expected to get the first grade in this imperial examination."

"Governor Zhang..." Prince Yan became interested in Li Qingzhi.

On the other side, Lu Qingxi left the palace again.

After Concubine Liu returned to the palace, there were a lot of things going on in the palace. He stayed in the palace for a few days and only left the palace today.

In fact, if Li Zhu hadn't sent her a message that Lu Mingshan had been found, he might not have come out.

As soon as Li Zhu saw Lu Qingxi, he said: "Master Qiansui, I found Lu Mingshan."

"Does the person you want to find have any profile?" Lu Qingxi asked.

Li Zhu said: "Master Qiansui, the right person has not been found yet."

Lu Qingxi knew that it was normal to not find someone like the emperor, but he was still a little disappointed.

After meeting Qi An, the emperor felt that he was in poor health and had been having trouble sleeping these past few days.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Qingxi did not leave the palace.

According to the imperial doctor, even if the emperor takes good care of himself, he may only live for another year... He must hurry up.

"Bring Lu Mingshan first." Lu Qingxi said.

Lu Mingshan was locked outside, and only Li Zhu came in to report. At this moment, Lu Qingxi asked the guards around him to bring him.

After watching the guards leave, Li Zhu said: "Master Qiansui, then Lu Mingshan is a liar. You don't know. He has been hiding these days because he is afraid that someone will ask him to tell his fortune and he will not be able to tell his fortune."

"really?"

"Absolutely true."

"What happened at the plum appreciation party before? Have you asked him?"

"This..." Li Zhu was a little embarrassed.

"How?" Lu Qingxi asked.

Li Zhu said: "Master Qiansui, he said he didn't know anything."

do not know anything? Could it be that Li Zhu arrested the wrong person?

Just as Lu Qingxi was thinking this, he saw a Taoist priest with an immortal style, white hair and a childlike face, one eyebrow white and the other black eyebrow brought in.

Lu Qingxi was in a daze when he saw this man.

Just by looking at the appearance of the man in front of you, one would think that he has real abilities.

Is this... really a liar?

Lu Qingxi was not superstitious at all. When he saw Lu Mingshan, he felt that this man seemed to have some real ability.

Then... Lu Mingshan, who he felt was really capable, knelt down as soon as he saw him: "Master Qiantose, I really don't know anything, I don't know anything! Master Qiantose, please let me go! Qiantose Master, I was wrong!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed, with tears streaming down his face, which looked miserable.

Lu Qingxi's expression froze and the corners of his mouth twitched.

But after the initial period of discomfort, when he went to see Lu Mingshan again, Lu Qingxi's eyes showed the interest of finding something rare to live in.

If nothing else, this person is indeed a liar, but precisely because this person is a liar, it is more useful!

Lu Qingxi looked at Lu Mingshan with a smile: "Master Lu, please get up! Master Lu, our family has no ill intentions towards you, we just want you to do a favor."

Lu Mingshan stood up, nodded and bowed: "Master Qiansui, please do as you wish."

Lu Qingxi said: "Don't worry, you go change clothes first."

When Lu Qingxi saw Lu Mingshan for the first time, he felt that Lu Mingshan was the perfect person to lie to the emperor that he had a son living abroad.

This man's appearance is so deceptive!

But before letting him meet the emperor, he must first help him build a reputation.

As for how to start...

Lu Qingxi knew the privacy of many officials in Beijing.

He informed Lu Mingshan of the information, asked Lu Mingshan to meet those officials by chance, and then gave them some pointers... People in the capital would naturally think that Lu Mingshan was a man of real ability!

As for who should be treated first... the Minister of Hubu who favored his concubine and killed his wife, the son born by his concubine was not his.

Lu Qingxi has a lot of people in the capital, and these people can find out a lot of information.

He can easily push Lu Mingshan to the altar, making people think that Lu Mingshan is accurate in everything and is a real master!

While thinking about this matter, Lu Mingshan came back.

Lu Mingshan, who had changed into a Taoist robe, looked a bit like a god.

Lu Qingxi asked Lu Mingshan to sit in front of him and asked someone to serve Lu Mingshan tea.

Lu Mingshan didn't panic at all, he looked calm and composed, as if being captured by Lu Qingxi was a trivial matter.

Lu Qingxi was extremely satisfied with him: "Taoist Master Lu, let me guess, was Li Zhao's relatives and friends asking you to do what happened at the plum appreciation party?"

When Lu Mingshan heard this, he looked troubled: "Master Qiansui, I really don't know anything about the Plum Appreciation Party! I heard that Fan Weiyan was very unlucky at the time and wanted to defraud him of some money, but I didn't know what happened later. What happened, I suddenly couldn't remember anything, I couldn't remember anything..."

Lu Qingxi didn't believe what Lu Mingshan said, thinking that Lu Mingshan just didn't want to say it.

He didn't really care, as long as Lu Mingshan could help him with things.

As for what happened afterwards... the matter of finding someone to pretend to be the prince was very important. If he was not careful, he and Concubine Liu would die because of the fake royal blood... Lu Mingshan must die by then!

But he would burn more paper money for Lu Mingshan.

Lu Qingxi said: "If you don't want to say it, just don't say it... But from today on, I, the guard, will be your student. Remember to listen to him and do whatever he asks you to do."

After speaking, he pointed to a young guard beside him.

Lu Mingshan agreed immediately, but still added: "It's not that the common people don't want to say it, it's that they really don't know."

Of course Lu Qingxi didn't believe it.

He asked people to tell Lu Mingshan about the affairs of the Minister of Hubu, and at the same time taught Lu Mingshan how to become famous by stepping on the Minister of Hubu.

After doing all this, Lu Qingxi learned about other things that happened these days.

When he learned that Duke Yan had opened two stores, the business of those two stores was extremely prosperous... Lu Qingxi was very angry: "The young master was so seriously injured, but he is lucky and still has the heart to open a store."

He will destroy these two shops no matter what!

He hated Prince Yan.

It's just a matter of doing business...

Lu Qingxi called Li Zhu over again and asked about it.

Li Zhu immediately said: "Master Qiansui, it is not difficult to solve this matter."

"What do you think Pearl?"

Li Zhu said: "Qiansui Lord should know about Jinye Embroidery Workshop? Your Majesty has always liked the things from Jinye Embroidery Workshop. The shopkeeper of Jinye Embroidery Workshop came to the capital and brought some jewelry and rouge and gouache..."

Lu Qingxi knew that the success of Shopkeeper Mu's business had a lot to do with Jinye Embroidery Workshop.

But he didn't know that the shopkeeper of Jinye Embroidery Shop had come to the capital.

Wait, Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop... Lu Qingxi suddenly remembered that he had sent people to investigate Li Qingzhi before, and then learned a lot about Li Qingzhi from some boatmen who came to the capital.

This gold leaf embroidery shop seems to be opened by Li Qingzhi's wife?

Why... is Li Qingzhi everywhere lately?

What a coincidence!

Li Zhu told her about her plan to open a shop with Jin Xiaoye, and also said that she would find a way to rob the business of Prince Yan's two shops.

Lu Qingxi was very satisfied with this and said directly: "Send some of the jewelry you want to sell. If you want more expensive jewelry, we will give it to the queen to wear."

It was only after Concubine Liu Guifei used the products from the Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop that it became popular in the capital.

Today's jewelry can naturally be made in the same way.

In the past few days, Concubine Liu had often mentioned Li Qingzhi to him, and also talked about Li Qingzhi's wife... She would definitely be willing to do Li Qingzhi's wife a favor.

Thinking of opening a shop to compete with Prince Yan for money, Lu Qingxi also said: "Go and add more money to your account. When you open a shop, open it opposite or next to Prince Yan's shop! It doesn't matter whether you make money or not, you must let people He can't make any money!"

"Don't worry, Master Qiantose!" Li Zhu said quickly.

Not only will she make Prince Yan unable to make money, she will also make him lose money.

Now, Prince Yan is the person she hates the most!

But since Lu Qingxi said so...she can give all the profit of the shop to Jin Xiaoye!

Chapter 220 Meeting

Jin Xiaoye had already given some of the carefully selected glass jewelry to Li Zhu.

Li Zhu selected some from them, and a few pieces of soap that exuded a light fragrance, packed them in exquisite wooden boxes, and gave them to Lu Qingxi.

After Lu Qingxi got the things, he first asked his eunuchs who knew medical skills to check them to make sure there were no problems with them before taking them into the palace.

As soon as Lu Qingxi entered the palace, some young eunuchs came around to show their attentiveness. Lu Qingxi asked, "Where is the imperial concubine?"

One of the young eunuchs said: "Father, the imperial concubine is with the emperor."

Since Concubine Liu is with the emperor, he can just go to the emperor directly.

The emperor usually stayed in the palace to rest, and today was no exception. Lu Qingxi strode outside the palace, then took the wooden box from the people around him and walked inside.

In the palace, Concubine Liu was talking to the emperor in a gentle voice.

She was very dissatisfied with the emperor and even had strange grudges, but the more this happened, the more gentle and considerate she became.

Only when the emperor sympathizes with Qi'an can she win more things for Qi'an, such as the throne.

Only when the emperor cherishes his friendship with her can she persuade him to trust her and accept the "son" arranged by her and Lu Qingxi.

hope everything is fine.

Qi Jun is indeed very guilty of Qi An and wants to compensate Qi An.

Logically speaking, there was no need for him to adopt Qi An after his face was disfigured, but Qi An became like this because of his negligence...

He has decided to adopt Qi'an as planned.

As for the choice of the new emperor...

When Qi Jun thought about this, he felt uncomfortable all over and couldn't sleep all night.

Whether it was the King of Jin or the King of Yan County, he was very disgusted and wanted to kill them quickly.

But he is the emperor of Daqi, and he has to think about the people of Daqi.

If he insists on having his own way and does not allow these two people to ascend the throne, chaos will break out after his death, and the people will suffer.

When Qi Jun was young, he once felt miserable.

As a prince, he didn't even have enough to eat, and he had to suffer from the cold in winter.

It was not until later that he was made a prince and assigned to provide disaster relief that he knew what kind of life the people in this world were living.

He felt that he was not living a good life, but in fact, he was living a life that ordinary people could only dream of.

After he was poisoned and his health deteriorated, he also complained about everything, but then he thought about it... Many eunuchs in this palace were deprived of their descendants at a young age, and some even died because of it. They finally survived and had to serve them all their lives. people.

Compared to them, he was already doing very well.

Qi Jun slowly thought about it. He tried hard to forget about his physical discomfort, thinking that as long as he could be a good emperor and make Da Qi safe and stable, then his life would not be in vain.

Now... what is he going to do?

King Jin is really not a good candidate to be emperor. He has a bad temper and acts recklessly, and doesn't take the people seriously at all!

He once regarded King Jin as his heir and gave King Jin various opportunities to gain experience. As a result, King Jin only wanted to make money and didn't care about the lives of the people.

In recent years, he has become increasingly paranoid.

Of course Prince Yan is not a good person and is sinister, but he is more capable than Prince Jin.

So...in order to avoid disputes in the court after his death, should we give the throne to Prince Yan?

Qi Jun was naturally unwilling, but thinking about those common people...

The Prince of Yan County pays more attention to reputation than the Prince of Jin. Although he acts ruthlessly, he is willing to pretend in front of others. Qi'an has been disfigured and is no threat to him. After he ascends the throne, he should not do anything to Qi'an.

Concubine Liu is just a harem woman... He made many arrangements, left a will to confer Qi An as the prince, and asked Concubine Liu to follow Qi'an out of the palace and live in Qi'an's palace. Concubine Liu should have a good life in the future.

There was only Lu Qingxi... He wanted to think of a way out for Lu Qingxi.

Concubine Liu Guifei and Lu Qingxi knew Qi Jun very well.

They could probably guess what Qi Jun was thinking.

Qi Jun always thinks the best of people, but they are different.

The late emperor's concubine was a crazy woman. As her son, how could Prince Yan be any better?

What they want to do must be done quickly!

As soon as Lu Qingxi entered the emperor's palace, he said a lot of auspicious words, then took out the wooden box and said: "My Majesty, the people under this old slave have got some novelties for you to play with."

"What is it?" Liu Guifei asked.

"It's the jewelry that shopkeeper Jin from Jinye Embroidery Shop brought to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River." Lu Qingxi said.

"Shopkeeper Jin of Jinye Embroidery Workshop? Isn't that Li Jieyuan's wife?" Concubine Liu was a little surprised.

"Empress, that's her." Lu Qingxi said.

Concubine Liu looked at the emperor: "Your Majesty, shopkeeper Jin and I are really destined! A few years ago, I liked the embroidery from Jinye Embroidery Workshop and I have been using it ever since. Not long ago, her husband saved her again. An'an."

Concubine Liu's departure from the palace was concealed from the emperor at first, but when she returned to the palace, she told the emperor about it.

The emperor also had people under his command. The fact that she left the palace and lived with Li Qingzhi for a period of time might be concealed, but the news might also leak out.

In this case, it is better to confess directly to the emperor.

The imperial doctor said that Qi An would die, so she took Qi An out of the palace to seek medical treatment. She met Li Qingzhi by chance, and Li Qingzhi helped her cure Qi An... These things are not unspeakable.

Even...if Li Qingzhi's identity is not in question and he becomes her "son" in the end, this can be said to be the fate of mother and son.

Qi Jun has always known that Concubine Liu likes things from Jinye Embroidery Workshop. Concubine Liu has often mentioned Li Qingzhi and Jin Xiaoye to him these days.

He has decided that as long as Li Qingzhi can enter the palace examination, he will give Li Qingzhi a good ranking!

This is the person who saved Qi An!

He was afraid that Li Qingzhi would be hated by the people of King Jin and King Yan, so he did not dare to reward Li Qingzhi in a big way, but he pretended to appreciate Li Qingzhi's knowledge and gave Li Qingzhi a good ranking, but there was no problem at all.

"It is indeed destined." Qi Jun smiled and asked Lu Qingxi to open the box to see the jewelry inside.

Lu Qingxi quickly opened the box, which contained gold jewelry inlaid with glass.

These jewelry look luxurious, and the glass inlaid on them has been polished and looks very shiny.

"Is this emerald or jade?" Qi Jun was a little curious. The jewelry inlaid on this jewelry was different from what he had seen before.

"It is said to be a newly excavated gemstone in the southernmost part of Daqi." Lu Qingxi said.

"I see, no wonder it's different from the ones I've seen before." Qi Jun admired the glass jewelry for a while and said to Concubine Liu: "Aman, these jewelry are very beautiful and complement you very well."

Concubine Liu Guifei laughed: "Your Majesty, please put it on for me."

Qi Jun smiled and immediately started to help Concubine Liu put on the jewelry.

While he was concentrating on putting on the jewelry for Concubine Liu, Lu Qingxi winked at Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu Guifei had discussed with Lu Qingxi before that they would take more Qi Jun out of the palace.

Only in this way can we encounter Taoist masters by chance and help them plan their plans!

Qi Jun put on the necklace for Concubine Liu, and Concubine Liu asked: "Your Majesty, do I look good?"

"It looks good." Qi Jun said.

Concubine Liu said: "Your Majesty, please take me out of the palace tomorrow. I want to go to Qingyun Tower for dinner, and I will wear this jewelry then."

"Okay." Qi Jun agreed.

Concubine Liu told him all about her previous life at Li Qingzhi's house. She also said that she liked spicy duck and wanted to try the spicy dishes in Qingyun Tower.

If Concubine Liu wanted to go, of course he would accompany her.

I don't know how long he can live... He doesn't have much time to spend with Concubine Liu.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind to me." Concubine Liu hugged Qi Jun, her eyes moist.

What she said was true. Qi Jun was really nice to her.

Qi Jun was in poor health and soon lay down to rest. Concubine Liu carried Qi An out of the emperor's palace and came outside, and asked Qi An's nanny to carry Qi An back to her palace. As for herself, she and Lu Qingxi Chatted.

Lu Qing said happily: "Mother, we have to hurry up. Lu Mingshan has been found. He happens to be a liar. When you leave the palace tomorrow, you will ask the emperor to accompany you to eat at the restaurant of Qingyun Tower. Then let Lu Mingshan meet him." Your Majesty, please recognize this person. I will arrange for Lu Mingshan to tell fortunes for people in the restaurant so that the Emperor can know who he is..."

Lu Qingxi always does things carefully. Now that he has decided to do something, he must do his best.

Concubine Liu agreed, and the two discussed some details.

Finally, Concubine Liu said: "Axi, you can go meet Li Qingzhi, I think he is really suitable."

"Don't worry, Madam, I will go see him." Lu Qingxi said.

Concubine Liu then returned to the palace.

Lu Qingxi watched her leave and immediately sent someone to Qingyun Tower to prepare Duan Jin to pick her up. He also asked Duan Jin to prepare some dishes that the emperor and Concubine Liu liked to eat.

Duan Jin already knew the emperor's taste, so he asked his confidants to tell Duan Jin about Concubine Liu's taste.

Qingyun Tower.

When Chang Duan learned that the emperor was coming tomorrow, he immediately informed Li Qingzhi.

The emperor was in a hurry last time. He didn't know about it until that morning, and it was a little late when he told Li Qingzhi, but this time it was different.

This time he knew the emperor's arrival a day in advance. If Li Qingzhi still wanted to see the emperor, he could make better arrangements.

After Chang Duan sent the news, he kept waiting for the news from Li Qingzhi. Soon after, the guy from Jueweizhai came to deliver the braised meat and also sent a reply from Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi didn't let him make arrangements this time.

Not long after receiving Chang Duan's letter, Li Qingzhi learned from Li Zhu that Lu Qingxi would ask Lu Mingshan to go to Qingyun Tower to tell fortunes tomorrow.

This scene was to build up Lu Mingshan's reputation, and it was probably for the emperor to see.

In this case...he will invite someone to Qingyun Tower for dinner tomorrow to see if he can meet the emperor by chance.

He had met the emperor before. If there was a chance this time, he would like to get in touch with the emperor and see his physical condition.

No matter what...he wanted to keep the emperor alive longer.

Lu Qingxi set the "acting" time for Lu Mingshan, and also told Chang Duan the approximate time to arrive at Qingyun Tower.

Li Qing made an appointment with Du Yongning to have dinner at that time.

When he got up the next day, Li Qingzhi put on new clothes and tied his hair carefully.

He planned to change his appearance a little, but not much, and even the people around him didn't notice it.

He and Concubine Liu had only been separated for a few days. If a lot had changed in such a short period of time, Concubine Liu would definitely be suspicious.

But Concubine Liu would definitely not be able to see any slight changes.

No photos were allowed at this time, and Concubine Liu didn't have a photographic memory, so how could she find that he was missing a few eyebrows?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Qingzhi walked towards Qingyun Tower. Near Qingyun Tower, he stopped for a while, and then he noticed that there were some strong men dressed as ordinary people around him. They should all be the emperor's guards.

Soon after these people appeared, two sedan chairs stopped in front of Qingyun Tower.

Concubine Liu Guifei and Qi Jun came out of the sedan together.

When Qi Jun came to Qingyun Tower before, he always went directly to the backyard and ate the meals prepared by Chang Duan alone.

But this time it was different. Concubine Liu said that she had never eaten in a restaurant and wanted to eat in a restaurant... Qi Jun agreed.

After the two got off the sedan, Concubine Liu said: "Master, this Qingyun Tower is so impressive!"

"Indeed." Qi Jun said.

"The clothes worn by the waiter at the store here are also very good-looking!" Liu Guifei added.

Qi Jun had bad eyesight and had never paid attention to this before, but now that Liu Guifei said this... he narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It is very beautiful."

In fact, he couldn't see it clearly, but following Liu Guifei's words, there was always no problem.

The two of them were making out and walking in when they suddenly heard someone shouting: "Mrs. Liu!"

Concubine Liu Guifei turned her head when she heard the familiar voice and saw Li Qingzhi.

Li Qingzhi was walking towards them, and someone was about to stop him... Liu Guifei smiled and said, "Mr. Li!"

Concubine Liu obviously knew Li Qingzhi.

Hearing Concubine Liu's words, those who wanted to stop Li Qingzhi stopped moving, and Li Qingzhi also successfully walked to Concubine Liu.

"Mrs. Liu, we haven't seen you for a few days. How is An An?" Li Qingzhi asked Mrs. Liu.

"He is very good," Concubine Liu smiled when she saw Li Qingzhi, and introduced Qi Jun to Li Qingzhi, "Mr. Li, this is my husband." "Hello, Mr. Liu." Li Qingzhi said with a smile.

He had only glanced at the emperor from a distance before, but he didn't expect to be able to see the emperor up close so soon.

I don't know if he can get in touch with the emperor.

Being a bit far away, Qi Jun couldn't see Li Qingzhi's appearance clearly, but he still nodded and smiled at Li Qingzhi: "Hello Li Jieyuan, An An's injury is all thanks to you."

"I didn't do anything," Li Qingzhi said with a smile, "Master Liu and Mrs. Liu, are you coming to Qingyun Tower for dinner too?"

"Yes, let's try the spicy dishes from Qingyun Tower." Liu Guifei said.

"What a coincidence, I also made an appointment with someone to come for dinner... let's go in." Li Qingzhi said with a smile, waiting for the person in front of him to go in.

Seeing this, Qi Jun took Concubine Liu inside.

Qingyun Tower has a threshold, but Qi Jun can't see it clearly. He had to avoid it before because of Lu Qingxi's reminder.

But this time he was in a hurry to get in, and he didn't want others to know about his bad eyesight, so he didn't avoid it and tripped over the threshold.

"Master Liu, be careful!" Li Qingzhi stepped forward and supported Qi Jun.

Qi Jun was not walking fast enough to stumble and fall, but Li Qingzhi supported him, which still made him feel at ease.

Not only that, after Li Qingzhi supported him, his heart, which was beating rapidly due to fright, became calmer, and his whole body relaxed a lot, feeling inexplicably comfortable.

Qi Jun probably saw Li Qingzhi's appearance clearly. He was a young man who made people feel friendly just by looking at him.

Qi Jun felt very relaxed, and he had an inexplicable liking for the young man in front of him: "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome." Li Qingzhi smiled.

At this time, Du Yongning came: "Brother Li!"

"Master Liu, Madam Liu, my friend is here, I'm going over right now." Li Qingzhi had achieved his goal of contacting the emperor, so he didn't stay long, said goodbye to Qi Jun and Concubine Liu, and walked towards Du Yongning.

After Li Qingzhi let go of him, Qi Jun felt inexplicably regretful and couldn't help but look in the direction where Li Qingzhi was going.

Lu Qingxi also watched Li Qingzhi go away and narrowed his eyes.

When Qi Jun stumbled, Lu Qingxi and the guards around him also wanted to help him, but seeing Li Qingzhi's actions, Lu Qingxi stopped the guard.

Lu Qingxi met Li Qingzhi for the first time today.

At this meeting... he discovered that Li Qingzhi and Qi Jun were indeed similar in three ways when they were young.

More importantly... Li Qingzhi is a lovable person.

He is still a Jieyuan. It would be really good if Qi Jun had such a son.

He has already sent people to Chongcheng County to conduct an investigation. In a few days, he will know the specific situation of Li Qingzhi... As long as there is no problem with Li Qingzhi's identity, he can choose Li Qingzhi.

"Master, there are private rooms on the second floor, but you have to take the stairs... shall we eat downstairs?" Concubine Liu glanced at the stairs and was worried that the emperor could not walk up, so she suggested this.

The emperor said: "No, let's go upstairs to eat."

He suddenly felt like he could move.

The emperor said so, and the group walked upstairs.

Anyway, the emperor really couldn't walk anymore, so the guards could help him up one by one.

Qi Jun walked up by himself, but he walked a little slowly.

After going upstairs, they entered a private room.

As soon as he sat down, Qi Jun said: "As for Li Jieyuan, I think he is a bit kind-hearted and he is pleasing to the eye."

Lu Qingxi and Concubine Liu were shocked when they heard the emperor's words.

They intended to make Li Qingzhi a fake prince. In this case, they naturally wanted the emperor to have a good impression of Li Qingzhi.

As a result, before they did anything, they only met once, and the emperor had a crush on him?

Concubine Liu observed Qi Jun's expression and realized that what Qi Jun said was true.

Then he said: "Master, do you also feel this way? I feel the same way. The first time I saw Li Qingzhi, I felt that he looked a little kind."

Lu Qingxi even said: "The old slave also thinks so. He is somewhat similar to the emperor." "Really?" The emperor was a little surprised.

Lu Qing said happily: "Your Majesty, his nose and eyebrows are very similar to yours when you were young."

There are no glass mirrors these days, so Qi Jun is not very clear about his appearance, and he can no longer remember what he looked like when he was young.

But people, except those who have particularly low self-esteem, generally think that they are good-looking.

Qi Jun felt that he was very handsome when he was young, so Li Qingzhi seemed to look a little like him?

No wonder he felt fond of Li Qingzhi when he first met him.

Qi Jun was in a good mood, and praised Li Qingzhi a few more words, and said: "Jiang'an Province has a prosperous literary style. He is the Jieyuan of Jiang'an Province. His knowledge must be good, and he may be able to get the top prize in the exam."

Lu Qingxi quickly agreed.

They chatted and laughed and ordered food. On the other side, Li Qingzhi and Du Yongning also ordered food.

Li Qingzhi didn't know that Qi Jun had a crush on him, but even if he knew, he would think it was normal.

After all, just now, by supporting Qi Jun, he sent all the energy in his body into Qi Jun's body.

Qi Jun's body was already riddled with holes, and his physical condition was similar to that of the original owner when he first came here.

The original owner had been hungry for too long and was malnourished, so he couldn't hold on and died. Qi Jun ate well and had various life-threatening medicines prescribed by the imperial doctor, so he could still live, but he couldn't live much longer.

As for Qi Jun's body, he wanted to help treat it... It was a huge project.

If he really becomes Qi Jun's son, no matter how big the project is, he will have to finish it slowly. If he doesn't have this opportunity...he will make the King of Jin and King Yan dissatisfied by treating Qi Jun. This is a dangerous job. , but before others could cure him, he died.

Going back to before, the moment he helped the person, all the energy in his body entered the emperor's body. While checking the emperor's physical condition, he also helped with a simple treatment.

This is a drop in the bucket for the emperor, but it is still of some use. It should make the emperor feel better and refreshed.

Thinking of this, Li Qingzhi suddenly thought of something else.

While checking the emperor's body, he found a small mole on the emperor's back.

The emperor has no birthmark on his body, and that mole is the only characteristic... Should he get one on the same part of his body?

It's just a mole anyway, let's get it done.

Li Qingzhi quickly made a decision and planned to add a mole to himself after the energy in his body recovered.

"Brother Li, who was the person who talked to you just now?" Du Yongning asked Li Qingzhi.

Li Qing said: "It's someone I met before. Mrs. Liu has a good relationship with Xiaoye. She likes the products of Jinye Embroidery House very much and is a big customer of Jinye Embroidery House."

Du Yongning said: "I think those two people are not simple...Brother Li, your wife is so amazing. If I hadn't come to the capital, I wouldn't have known that the Golden Leaf Embroidery Workshop was so famous in the capital!"

When Du Yongning was in Jiang'an Province, he had never heard of Jinye Embroidery Workshop, but since he came to the capital...

People in the capital actually think that Jinye Embroidery Workshop is a famous embroidery workshop in Jiang'an Province. It is said that even Concubine Liu Guifei likes the products of Jinye Embroidery Workshop.

It's true that people cannot be judged by their appearance! He thought Li Qingzhi's wife was a country girl, but he didn't expect that she had already established her business in the capital a few years ago!

"My wife is very smart," Li Qingzhi laughed. "She plans to open a shop in the capital in partnership with others. When the time comes, Brother Du must go to support her."

"Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely go!"

While the two were talking, the dishes they ordered were brought out.

When you come to Qingyun Tower, you must try the special dishes here! Du Yongning ordered two spicy dishes, while Li Qingzhi ordered two stews that were suitable for winter in the north. They were large and filling but still warm.

He has a big appetite and needs to order more dishes.

In addition to the vegetables, Li Qingzhi also ordered steamed buns. He picked up one and took a bite, then ate the stewed pork ribs.

While eating, Du Yongning suddenly said with a face of joy: "It's Taoist Lu! I've been asking about Taoist Lu's whereabouts these days, and finally I saw him!"

Li Qingzhi looked up and saw Lu Mingshan walking in from outside wearing a brand new Taoist robe.
