Madam General, please run slower.
Chapter 51 A “small” accident
Although Yu Xun was angry, his efficiency was not slow at all. In three days, he had arranged the firewood room according to Li's standards and named it Jinli Hall.
Inside Jinli Hall, the air was filled with the faint scent of ink and the slight rustling sound of talisman paper.
The whole room was only furnished with a small table and a wooden chair. There was no other furniture except for a pile of discarded talisman paper on the ground. In fact, at the beginning, Jinli Hall was also equipped with bookshelves and couches, but after a few "small" accidents, Li simply left only a table and a chair.
On the small table, Li was concentrating on drawing runes on the talisman paper. Her fingers gently held the brush, and the tip of the brush moved smoothly on the talisman paper, and an intricate pattern appeared on the paper.
Just as Li was about to complete the last rune, the spiritual power in his body suddenly fluctuated. A strong energy was running wild in Li's body, and he couldn't control it. This was the most taboo situation in the process of drawing a rune, the spiritual power was out of control. The out-of-control spiritual power instantly merged into the talisman paper, causing the talisman paper to react violently.
Li secretly said that something was wrong, picked up the talisman drawn beside him and rushed out.
There was a deafening explosion behind him. Li was hit by the powerful energy and stumbled a few times before he could stand firm. When the smoke and dust cleared, the room had become a mess. The walls were blown to pieces, the roof collapsed, and the table and chairs in the middle of the room turned directly into ashes.
Li covered his nose and coughed lightly a few times. It seemed that this accident was not a small one.
"Little princess." Chunmei hurried over when she heard the noise. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Li standing in the yard safe and sound, and put the leopard fur in her hand on Li.
It's winter now, and even the shadow guards have changed into thick clothes, but the little princess seems to be unaware of the cold, which makes her worry to death.
The old housekeeper looked at the ruins in front of him, his mouth twitching uncontrollably, and he skillfully ordered the servants to clean up the mess. What on earth was the little princess doing, and why was she so lethal?
Some time ago, there were fires and floods, which made people feel uneasy, but at least the house is still there and can be used after cleaning. Now it is just blown to ashes, and there is no need to bother to tear it down and rebuild it.
Only one month has passed since the little princess moved into Jinli Hall. I wonder how long the general's mansion can withstand the little princess's rule.
Li took the handkerchief from Chunmei's hand and wiped the dirt off her face. She glanced at the sighing old housekeeper and the servants who worked hard without complaint. Li felt embarrassed and turned around and said, "Sister Mei, take fifty taels from my private storehouse and divide it among the housekeeper and everyone else. Just consider it as hard work pay."
When everyone heard that there was a reward, they worked harder.
"Little princess." Wei Shiliu, who came to report the news, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw the scene in front of him. He was about to complain a few words, but he stopped talking when he saw Wei Wu beside him. The master sent Wei Wu to follow the princess, which was a disguised way of monitoring him, so he didn't dare to say anything.
"What's the matter?" What annoyed Li the most was Wei Shiliu's look of wanting to say something but not wanting to, so he slapped him on the back of the head as usual and then turned to ask Wei Wu.
Wei Wu felt dizzy when he heard the muffled sound, and he did not dare to delay and whispered in Li's ear: "Madam, there is movement from the lady beside."
Li glanced around and said, "Let's go and talk somewhere else."
West courtyard.
Li poured water for the two of them very naturally. She had been obsessed with drawing talismans recently, and Jiang Wan had been kept an eye on by Wei Shiliu and the others.
Wei Shiliu was indeed thirsty and was about to take it, but when he saw that Wei Wu didn't move, he didn't dare to move either.
Li received Wei Shiliu's pleading look, and was almost laughing like crazy in his heart, but on the surface he acted unhappy, "Heh, after all, I am the general's wife, and I am half your master, right? You even refused to drink the tea I gave you, are you worried that I might poison you?"
"I dare not." After hearing this, Wei Wu hurriedly took the tea on the table and drank it all.
Wei Shiliu, who had been squatting on the roof for a whole day, finally got a cup of tea and gave Li a grateful look. What a little princess.
"Tell me, what's going on with Jiang Wan recently."
Wei Shiliu finally got the chance to speak, and his true colors were exposed as soon as he spoke to Li, "Madam has been going out frequently these past two days. I followed her to an alley in the south of the city. Princess, who do you think she went to see?"
"Who else could it be? His father." Li agreed with his words.
"That's right. Jiang Qianzhang and Jiang Wan's biological mother, Su, lives in a dilapidated courtyard in the south of the city. We didn't get close to them for fear of alerting the enemy." Emperor Qu had given the order, but Jiang Qianzhang had avoided the inspection of the Jinwu Guards and found a place to stay. This should be related to the power he secretly supported.
"Does your general know about this?"
"I understand. But the master is busy with matters in the military camp, and he asked you, Princess, to take full responsibility for this matter." Wei Shiliu felt a little guilty as he spoke.
The army was almost reorganized this month, and it was not as busy as it was at the beginning. It was more than enough to deal with a concubine. Letting the princess take full responsibility actually meant that the master just didn't want to be in charge.
Wei Shiliu also reported to Yu Xun about the princess's going in and out of the cold palace, but he still didn't say that the princess was going to see a man. After all, he didn't see the princess's secret meeting with her, so he could brainwash himself and say that it was just a joke made by the princess, so there was no situation of hiding it from the master.
He originally thought that the master would be angry because the little princess went in and out of the cold palace in the middle of the night, but what he received was the master's light-hearted reply: "Okay, I got it."
Wei Shiliu, who had completely given up hope in his master's feelings, felt that life had lost hope.
Thinking about the Jinli Hall that he couldn't repair in a short time, Li planned to take a break and stop drawing talismans for the time being. "I will personally watch over Jiang Wan in the next two days, so you guys don't need to interfere."
Wei Wu hesitated for a moment and advised: "The power behind Jiang Qianzhang is unknown. Madam, if you act rashly, you may alert the enemy."
"I am more proficient in Qinggong than your boss named Wei Yi."
"But..." Wei Wu wanted to say something, but was stopped by Wei Shiliu.
"The master said that the princess should be fully responsible, so we will do as he says. At worst, we can just follow from a distance."
Wei Shiliu's words "the master said" left Wei Wu speechless and he had no choice but to compromise and agree.
Wei Wu soon realized that he was worrying too much. Whether it was hiding or tracking, the lady was more professional than them.
Li squatted in the South Courtyard for several days and finally saw the familiar green. Li tiptoed and followed Jiang Wan through the alleys. Seeing her looking around timidly, afraid of meeting acquaintances, someone who didn't know her might really think she was going to meet her lover in private.
Jiang Wan, who had no idea that he was being followed, stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard. He prepared himself mentally and hesitated for a long time before reaching out to knock on the door.
A dull male voice came from behind the door. After recognizing Jiang Wan, he opened the door slightly, and then quickly closed the door after Jiang Wan walked in. His cautious look really gave Li the thrill of catching someone cheating.
Li glanced at the surrounding environment, jumped up, grabbed the edge of the wall, and easily flipped in with a pull-up. He flew to the roof with a few jumps and once again skillfully pried the tiles.
As soon as Jiang Wan entered the room, she hugged Su and sobbed, while Jiang Qianzhang stood aside with an impatient look on his face.
There was a faint smell of blood lingering in the room, which made Li feel a little more excited. But when she noticed Su's legs trembling uncontrollably, Li's eyes dimmed when she looked at Jiang Qianzhang.
