First break up the relationship, then get rich, I can choose any handsome man in the world

Qingxue grabbed Li Hongting's trouser legs and begged non-stop.

Li Hongting looked down at the snow on the ground and said coldly, "You are a little clever, but unfortunately your cleverness cannot support your ambition."

"I was wrong. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I deserve to die. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have thought about you, the Second Prince. It's my fault. It's my fault."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped herself hard on the face, two times, three times...

Li Hongting slowly squatted down, and Qingxue met the man's black and white eyes. She had wanted to see this man every day, but it seemed that only today did she see his appearance clearly and his coldness clearly.

Li Hongting hooked Qingxue's chin and said word by word: "I can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing, but you must recognize your position. If there is a next time..."

Qingxue burst into tears. She shook her head in fear and said, "No, there won't be a next time. The life Qingxue has now is all given by the Second Prince. From now on, Qingxue will be the Second Prince's person. No, not a pawn. Thank you for not abandoning me. Qingxue is willing to make things better for me!"

Li Hongting smiled: "That makes sense."

"Haha, you are indeed quite clever."

Li Hongting withdrew his hand, and the smile on his face disappeared: "I will spare you today, get out."

Hearing this, Qingxue ran out, and her coat was lying on the ground alone...

Yongchang looked at his master and said, "Master, you don't have anyone close to you, so Qingxue will stay with you..."

Before he could finish what he was saying, Li Hongting glared back at him.

"Is your master a rag collector?"

"That's not what I meant. I just think you are too lonely."

"Some things are better to be lacking than to be inadequate. I have all the women I want, but what's the point of having one like that?"

"My subordinate understands."

royal palace.

It was already late at night when the emperor finished reviewing the memorials, and the eunuch Fu Hai brought him today's midnight snack.

Looking at the golden rice porridge in the jade bowl, the emperor couldn't help but ask: "What is this?"

"To answer your Majesty, this is wolfberry and pumpkin health porridge."

The emperor scooped up a spoonful and tasted it, and couldn't help nodding. It was obvious that the porridge was very much to his liking.

He picked up another blanched lettuce and asked, "Is there a new chef in the imperial kitchen?"

Fu Hai hunched over and replied, "To answer the emperor's question, it's still the same cook as before."

"This dish doesn't taste like the previous cook's."

"It is indeed the previous chef who cooked the dish, but this dish is not what the emperor has eaten before."

"Oh?"

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the watermelons that Mr. Wei brought you?"

The emperor nodded: "Of course I remember that watermelon tastes really good, and she is also an expert in growing crops. Could it be that this vegetable was also grown by that person?"

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Hehe, you're pretty quick."

"By the way, Fu Hai, take some of these dishes and send them to the Empress Dowager's palace."

"I had someone deliver the food when it was served, and the Queen Mother praised it highly after eating it."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and ate up all his midnight snack, which was a rare occasion.

----Dividing line------

"hiss……"

Ye Lian'er, who was making clothes, was thinking about what Ye Hai said that day. Her mind was not on making clothes at all. Looking at the blood on her hands, she didn't feel any pain. But Qian Cheng, who came in from outside, felt very distressed when he saw it.

He stepped forward and held her bleeding hand: "Why are you so careless."

"It's no problem. When sewing, you're bound to get pricked by the needle."

Qian Cheng took away the clothes she was making, helped her stop the bleeding, and then asked her: "You have been uneasy these days, tell me what's going on."

Ye Lian'er hesitated to speak, she didn't know whether she should say it or not.

After thinking for a while, she decided to tell Qian Cheng about it.

"My brother said he saw my uncle."

"Your uncle? Didn't you say he died on the battlefield?"

"Yes, that's what we said before. The government also sent us compensation money."

Ye Lian'er still couldn't completely believe what her eldest brother said: "Just a few days ago, my eldest brother said that he saw my uncle on the street, and my uncle had transformed into the eldest son of the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion."

Qian Cheng frowned: "There are some rumors about the eldest son of Yongkang Marquis Mansion."

"I heard that the eldest son of the Yongkang Marquis's mansion was kidnapped when he was young, and was only brought back from the battlefield last year. At that time, the Yongkang Marquis's mansion held a banquet, and all the important people in Anjing City attended. It was also at that banquet that the eldest son saved Princess Qianqian. This matter was widely spread in Anjing. I heard that the prince and the eldest son had a big fight in the street two days ago."

"Then it's true."

Ye Lian'er didn't know why she felt uneasy. She felt like something was about to come out...

She stood up uneasily and kept turning around in place.

"You said my uncle was kidnapped?"

Qian Cheng nodded.

"Kidnapped..."

"My uncle was kidnapped..."

"Lian'er, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Ye Lian'er so excited, Qian Cheng walked forward worriedly and held her hand.

Ye Lian'er pulled back her hand: "I have something to ask my brother."

After saying that, she didn't care what Qian Cheng said, she lifted her skirt and went out.

Ye Hai has been going out early and coming back late these days, and he can hardly be seen in the mansion.

Ye Lian'er didn't know what Ye Hai was busy with these days. She walked out of the house and stood on the street, looking at the people passing by blankly. She didn't even know where to find Ye Hai.

Suddenly she saw two familiar figures, and she subconsciously hid in the corner.

Only after Ye Shian and Yinzhu walked away did she dare to stand up.

"Is that a silver bead?"

At that time, the poisoning incident at Yinzhu Noodle House caused a lot of uproar in Wanning Prefecture. She remembered that Yinzhu was sentenced to exile in the end. An exiled person should not appear in Anjing...

But on second thought, it seems that nothing is impossible. My uncle is the eldest son of the Yongkang Marquis's Mansion, so what is impossible?

The thought of this made her feel bitter.

The group of people who were looking for them in Changhe Prefecture at that time should have been sent by my uncle...

"Lian'er, what are you doing standing here?"

When Ye Hai came back from outside, he saw Ye Lian'er standing on the street.

Seeing Ye Hai coming back, Ye Lian'er excitedly grabbed his hand and said, "Brother, come with me."

She looked around and did not dare to pull Ye Hai back home, but went to a secluded corner.

"Brother, do you think it's possible that grandma did it to my uncle?"

Ye Hai lowered his eyelids and remained silent.

When he met his uncle for the first time, he wanted to kill Ye Shian and the others so that they could cling to his uncle.

In the past few days he had also heard some rumors about the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, but after calming down, he connected all the things that had happened in his mind.

The people chasing them, the disappearance of his grandmother, and the burning fire, all of this is very difficult for Ye Shian to handle. But if he is the eldest son of the Yongkang Marquis Mansion, then all of this becomes reasonable.
