Chapter 106: Su Qi, who loves to worry
Su Linglong and Wuxi separated on the border of Chu. After that, Su Linglong bought a horse, changed into men's clothes and went to Qi alone.
This journey took seven days, and on the eighth day, she finally arrived in Qi State.
In the past few days, Su Linglong tried not to think of Chu Junqing, but his figure still appeared in his mind. Every time he thought about it, his heart felt ache.
Su Linglong pulled a horse into the capital of Qi, attracting many people's attention along the way. After all, she is a Jun brother in the man's costume.
Su Linglong found an inn for lunch.
She planned to go to find the emperor's brother in the past or two days, and then ask the emperor's brother to arrange a secret residence for her.
"Do you know? The emperor has been seriously ill for a few days. The prince is so young. How can he become the emperor?"
A playboy next to him said loudly.
His statement attracted many people's attention. Su Linglong also glanced at him slightly, and it turned out to be a few playboys.
She pricked her ears, looking forward to his next sentence.
"If this is the case, the regent would be appointed. If the best candidate for the regent is naturally the second prince," said another playboy.
"The second prince is also a prince. If he is allowed to regent, he might be rebellious."
"That's true, but if the second prince is not appointed, who should be appointed? Each of the other princes is useless."
The words stopped completely.
Su Linglong put down her silver thoughtfully and led the horse to the Second Prince's Mansion under the guidance of passers-by.
Because Su Linglong and Su Qi's mother died early, the emperor gave Su Qi a mansion in view of their mothers.
Since Su Qi did not have a title, this mansion naturally has no name.
Su Linglong walked around outside the mansion twice, attracting the eyes of the guards.
"Hey, who are you? Why are you dealing with the Second Prince's Mansion?" The guard at the gate stared at Su Linglong and asked.
Su Linglong put the horse aside, stepped forward a few steps, and said respectfully and politely, "I am the second prince's friend. Please inform me that the second prince will come out to see me."
When the guard heard this, he laughed sarcastically, "It's ridiculous that you want to be your second prince's friend even if you look shabby. Don't leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."
When Su Linglong heard this, she looked at her outfit. She was a young man after all, why was she so shabby?
"If you don't inform the second prince, I won't leave here." Su Linglong said in a cold tone.
"You...you..." The guard was about to draw the knife, but was stopped by another guard.
"Forget it, since you are so persistent, I will call the second prince. But don't blame me for not reminding you that not everyone has seen us second prince." The guard glared at her and said.
Su Linglong smiled, took out a pink sachet from her sleeve and handed it to the guard, "As long as you hand over this thing to him, he will come out."
The guards took the sachet, glanced at him, and then entered the mansion.
It's so strange that a big man is holding a sachet like this.
Su Linglong handed over the sachet because Su Qi personally handed it to her on the day she got married. She also said that it was the item from her mother's mother before her death and she asked her to keep it safe.
If she hadn't seen this sachet from the cabinet a while ago, she would have almost forgotten about it.
Sure enough, because of this sachet, Su Qi hurried out in less than a few minutes.
As soon as he left the mansion, he saw the back of a young man, and he couldn't help but frown.
How could this man have his girl's sachet?
"I dare to ask who is my brother?" Su Qi stood behind Su Linglong and asked respectfully.
Su Linglong smiled cutely and turned around, "My surname is Su, you can call me Mr. Su."
When Su Qi saw her face, he was stunned. Isn’t this his girl?
"You... girl." Su Qi touched her head helplessly, but realized that Su Linglong was wearing a men's clothing now, and her head touching was really inconsistent, so she slowly withdrew her hand.
"Come and enter the mansion with me." Su Qi smiled dotingly.
Then, Su Linglong led a horse into the mansion, which made the guards stunned. It turned out that this young man was really a friend of the second prince, and it seemed that the relationship was not ordinary!
Su Linglong sat in the side hall. She found that there were very few servants in this mansion, no more than five, but there were many guards.
Su Qi brought her a cup of tea and handed it to her hand, "This is the tea specially made for you for brother, please taste it."
"Well, thank you, my brother." Su Linglong said.
"Girl, how could you come to Qi State? And you are alone? What's going on? Did that man do something to you? Tell Brother Wei, and Brother Wei make the decision for you." As soon as she sat down, Su Qi asked a series of questions urgently.
Su Linglong looked at him with emotion. Fortunately, she had someone who cared about her. "Brother, don't think so much. It was me who told the King of War that she was coming to Qi. This time she came to find herbs. I was poisoned and needed to collect 52 herbs to cure herbs." She did not tell Su Qi the fact because she didn't want Su Qi to worry.
When Su Qi heard her say this, he felt relieved. He thought something had happened to this girl in Chu State, and he thought she ran away from home.
But what's going on with poisoning?
"My sister, when did you get poisoned? Who poisoned you? Did the concubines in the house poison you?"
"Oh, no." Su Linglong smiled helplessly. She, the emperor brother, likes to worry about it. "I can't tell you this issue for the time being. I will tell you if you have the chance in the future. Don't worry, brother."
"Silly girl, how can Brother Wei not worry? If you don't tell Brother Wei, that's okay, but you have to tell Brother Wei what herbs to find and find them for you." Su Qi's eyes were very enthusiastic.
Su Linglong was so amused that she couldn't bear to shy away his kindness, so she had to list out fifty-two herbs one by one.
"The above is the herbs I'm looking for, these herbs are relatively rare."
"It's okay, the emperor will help you find it." Su Qi got the herb list and patted his chest and promised.
Su Linglong smiled faintly, she didn't expect others to help her find her. This time she came, not only to find herbs, she had to find an opportunity to enter the palace.
"Girl, you lived in the imperial brother's house during your time in Qi. If you want to go out and play, you have to bring a few more people, but you have to wear a veil, or look good like the one you are now, because the people of Qi have seen your portraits, and I am afraid that they will recognize you, and then you will think that something has happened to you in Chu, which is amazing."
"Well, I understand, my elder brother, I will be careful." Su Linglong smiled. What should she do with her elder brother?
"Brother, did you hear that my father is seriously ill?" It was impossible for her to enter the palace by herself. The only way was to ask Su Qi to take her into the palace.
"Well, how do you know?" Su Qi asked in surprise.
"When I was on the street just now, I accidentally heard some playboys say, "Brother, I want to see my father for the last time. Can I find an opportunity to take me in?"
"Do you want to see him?" Su Qi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Don't you hate your father the most? When you got married, you said that you never want to see him in your life."
Su Linglong was confused. Have you ever said this? Why didn’t you remember? “Brother, he is my father after all. No matter what he did to me before, it’s okay to see him for the last time for his children.”
Su Qi touched his chin and nodded, "Okay, then I will take you into the palace before the sun sets tomorrow, but you can only stay by your side, don't surpass the rules, do you know?"
"Well, I know what to do." Su Linglong nodded.
"Get a good rest tonight, and the emperor will take you out for a trip tomorrow." Su Qi touched her head, very considerate.
Su Linglong smiled sweetly, but there was still sadness under the smile. No matter what moment, she thought of him.
I want to forget, but I can't.
The night was very long. That night, Su Linglong had insomnia again. Since she left the Zhanwang Mansion, she has not been able to sleep at peace all night.
Day 2
Su Linglong returned to the woman's outfit, wearing a veil, dressed very elegantly but not without nobleness. This outfit was not what she wanted, but the emperor's brother forced her to dress like this.
The reason is that the emperor's brother is too popular, but there is no woman in the house. Many women want to enter the mansion, but they are rejected. Rumors of his sleeves are spread in the capital. In order to make the rumor self-defeating, she was asked to travel with him as a woman.
This not only breaks the rumors, but also eliminates the flowers that are obsessed with the emperor's brother.
Even with a veil, Su Linglong could not hide her charm. This beauty was emitted from her bones, making people feel love at first sight.
Su Qi looked at Su Linglong's outfit and couldn't help but sigh, "The girl is worthy of being the number one beauty, she is so beautiful."
"Ha, the emperor is not the most handsome man in Qi State." Su Linglong curled his lips.
"Where are girls, you are beautiful? You walked around the city yesterday. Who wouldn't know that there was an exotic handsome man in Qi?"
"Brother, you just like to joke with me. It's getting late, it's time to leave!"
"Well, let's go! Brother Wei always wanted to go out with you. He didn't have a chance when he was a child, but now he finally has a chance." Su Qi sighed. Looking back on the days he was a child, both him and the girl were very sad.
Su Linglong's eyes were dim and she followed him into the carriage silently.
He drove a carriage to a jewelry store. The emperor took her around the store for a while and bought a pair of agate headdresses, which he personally wore for her in the store.
This caused envy of the women in the store, and this incident spread in the capital within a moment.
Su Linglong became the number one target of attack by all the women.
Su Linglong is helpless, Brother, you are a specialist in cheating girls. Why are you doing so high-profile for no reason?
Su Linglong got on the carriage and immediately took off the agate, but was put on by Su Qi again. "How can it be taken off? This is specially chosen for you for your brother, and this is also the first time the emperor has given you a gift."
"Well, thank you, my brother." But what did the emperor give her a gift? Forget it, anyway, the emperor has no choice but to leave this agate to him, and it is reasonable to wear it for her.
"Brother, where are we going?"
"Well, go to the Taohuafang and enjoy the peach blossoms while taking the boat." Su Qi said.
Peach Blossom House? When she heard the word "Peach Blossom" she remembered that she was in a peach forest with Chu Junqing. The two trusted each other and cooperated to escape the danger.
Nowadays, things are different and people are not enough to stop everything.
I wonder, how is he doing?
Su Linglong looked outside with a lot of worries, and Su Qi keenly captured this scene.
In fact, he had long seen that the girl had something to do, and was sure that something had happened in the Chu State. He just didn't point it out and asked someone to investigate it secretly. I believe there would be a result soon.
If Chu Junqing dared to make his girl sad, he would never let her go.
