Chapter 22 On the way back to Beijing [1]
"Chihua, go and see if the pigeon has any letters to bring back. It is probably because His Highness has news."
"Why don't you go? I'm sleeping." Chihua opened her eyes, looked at Qinghe who woke him up with a slightly higher voice, and said in a bad tone.
"Do you want to experience the feeling of acupuncture? Just so happens that there are still some needles here that I haven't collected. I can give you a try now."
Qinghe didn't care about Chihua's attitude. He lowered his head and carefully wiped the silver needle that had just been pulled out of Ye Zhanfei, and said to him in a faint tone.
"You Qinghe, we are still friends. Even though I know that what I fear most is acupuncture, I still say that."
With a complaint in his words, he got off the chair and walked towards the window. He grabbed the dove that fell by the window, took the letter from his legs, and casually put the dove into the sky. He turned around and opened the letter while walking towards the chair.
"Ah! Your Highness is coming soon! I'll tell the news to the head of the Ye family."
"Wait, give me the letter." Looking at Chihua, who was about to go out with a irritable letter, Qinghe was covered in black lines. He made a sound in time to stop him, "Also, put on your clothes before going."
Chihua paused for a moment and handed over the letter in his hand. He looked down at the clothes he was wearing loosely. After tidying up his face, he walked out carelessly.
It was not until the man in rust-red clothes could not see the figure from the house that Qinghe took back his gaze. He lowered his head, put down his silver needle, and looked at the contents of the letter.
"I've gotten back today."
In just six words, the stone that had been hanging in Qinghe's heart for more than four days finally landed on the ground. The slender phoenix eyes looked at Ye Zhanfei lying on the bed, pale and closed his eyes, and thought to himself, "Your Highness has finally come back. Fortunately, nothing happened. Young Master Ye is about to wake up."
Li's family is outside the courtyard in the capital
On the bustling Zhuque Street, there is a small courtyard in the alley at the south end. On the black gate beam, there is a door plaque made of agarwood. The two words "Li Mansion" are written in the fine pine ink.
At this time, an old man who looked over fifties, dressed in a gray outfit, his eyes were shining, and his hair was half white, standing outside the gate, holding a black iron sword in his right hand and knocking on the door with his left hand.
"Here you come." The voice came from far and near.
Seeing the person outside the door, Li Zige was slightly surprised and took him in.
"Uncle Yuan, why are you the only one here? What about father?" Li Zige walked in front and asked Yuan Su who was following behind.
Looking at Li Zige's handsome back, thinking about his childhood since he was a brother and sister, he has been watching the two grow up. Now he has become a handsome young man in the world and a pretty girl. He has no children in his life and is a pride and regretful feeling.
"Uncle Yuan?"
After not hearing the answer for a long time, Li Zige walked to the door of the room, looked at Yuan Su's distracted eyes and asked in confusion: "What happened to Haocheng?"
"Young Master, everything is fine in Haocheng. The reason why the city lord did not come is because next month it is the birthday of the old city lord. The heroes of the martial arts have rushed over one after another, so I asked me to come and tell the young master and pick up the lady back by the way."
"So that's it, but didn't my father set out with me?"
"That was when the young master walked first halfway, and the old city lord's carrier pigeon sent a letter to the city lord, and only then did I know that the heroes of the world had already gone in advance. Therefore, I rushed over alone to tell the young master."
"Uncle Yuan, please sit down. It's true that you are so old, you are still running from afar. Just send other guards to tell me."
After the two entered the house, Li Zige asked Yuan Su to sit down, poured him a cup of tea and said dissatisfiedly.
"It's okay, I just want to come to the capital. Besides, let other guards come over, and I'm afraid the news will be unclear." Wu Su took the teacup, put the sword on the table, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile in his eyes, "I haven't seen the lady for a long time. I'm still thinking about this girl, come and see her."
"Where is the lady? Let me see, the old man, have you been fat or thin for so long?"
"Uncle Yuan, Zi Ling..." Li Zi Ge paused for a moment and hesitated.
"What's wrong? What happened to me, Miss?"
Li Zige thought for a while and slowly told Li Ziling whereabouts.
"Nonsense, really nonsense. I haven't traveled far away at such a young age, but I've even ran to the Youmingjian that is so far away." Yuan Su slapped the table and said with a gloomy face. "I can be regarded as seeing you brothers and sisters since childhood. I probably know what the lady's personality is. This matter is definitely not simple."
"Uncle Yuan, why did you say that?"
"That letter could not have appeared in the lady's house for no reason."
After hearing this sentence, Li Zige's expression turned right, thought for a while, and got up.
"I'm going to go to the palace now to find my aunt and check this."
"Young Master, I'll go with you."
"This...well, Uncle Yuan, let's go."
"Based on time, the young master of the Gong family probably has found the lady."
"Well, if nothing unexpected happens, they will be back soon." Li Zige said.
The two of them didn't know at this time. Gong Hanting and Li Ziling, who thought they were about to return to Beijing, had been forced to tie up by the elders of the family when they lost their temper because they failed to find each other for a long time.
The other person was in the small town of Buyu Town, looking at his future cousin, Qi Liyan, with hostility and dissatisfaction in his heart.
After a few days, Feng Chenyao and Qi Li Yan returned to Beijing with Li Ziling, they realized this beautiful misunderstanding. This led to a future marriage for Gong Hanting.
"Sister Ling'er, why are you sitting here alone? Don't you go with your cousin?"
Fu Meng and Yan Cenlan, who returned to the inn from elsewhere, just as soon as they walked into the inn, they saw Li Ziling holding her hands on the table, holding her cheeks, and looking out the window with her hands fixedly.
"Sister Ling'er?" Looking at Li Ziling who was unresponsive, Fu Meng and the others walked over and patted her on the shoulder.
"Ah! Sister Fu and Brother Yan are back." After coming to her senses, she absent-mindedly greeted the two of them.
"What's wrong with Zi Ling? Why are you listless? Who bullies you? Come and tell us, let's take revenge on you." Yan Cenlan smiled and asked Li Zi Ling gently.
"Yes, Ling'er, what do you have? Tell us, we will help you with what you want." Fu Meng asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I'm leaving later and I'm just reluctant to leave you."
Looking at Li Ziling who was obviously lying, the two of them did not expose it. After they looked at each other, Fu Meng took out an exquisite white jade porcelain bottle from his arms.
"Sister Ling'er, we have nothing to give, so you can accept this bottle of Baicao Dan."
"Sister Fu, what is the function of this Baicao Dan?" Looking at the exquisite white jade bottle on the table, Li Ziling took it in his hand and looked it open, "It smells so good."
"This Baicao Dan has the effect of inhibiting toxins. Sister Ling'er must carry it with her, and she may be able to use it."
"Thank you Sister Fu and Brother Yan. If you have time, you can go to Haocheng to play with me."
"Yeah, it will."
"Zi Ling, we're leaving." Feng Chenyao and Qi Liyan, who were dressed in blue, slowly walked down from the upper floor. The perfect couple made Li Ziling feel even more in a bad mood at this moment.
"I understand, cousin. I will say goodbye to Sister Fu and Brother Yan." Li Ziling said awkwardly without looking at Feng Chenyao and said awkwardly.
"Thank you for your care for your cousin. If you part today, don't bother me."
Feng Chenyao walked over, looked at the three people sitting, ignored Li Ziling who was hiding his gaze, and said lightly to Fu Meng and the others.
Before Fu Meng and Yan Cenlan said anything, Li Ziling said, "Cousin, why do you speak to my friend like this? The wild girl behind you won't allow me to say anything harsh. You're too much."
"What are you doing? Why, the wild girl wants to hit me?"
Looking at Li Ziling, who was huddled behind Fu Meng like a frightened rabbit in front of him, Qi Liyan showed a contemptuous smile on his delicate face.
"You are not worthy of me." After saying this, he looked at Feng Chenyao, "Let's go, aren't you going to hurry?"
"Well, Ziling, be careful next time you speak. Let's go."
