The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

When Li Qingyi heard the name Miss Chen, she couldn't react immediately to who she was.

It was Fang Xin who saw the confusion on her face and stepped forward to remind her. Only then did Li Qingyi remember that this Chen was the Chen from Chen Qicong, which was...

Li Qingyi frowned: "What happened?"

The person who reported the news looked at the Seventh Princess, and the Seventh Princess looked at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Just say it directly."

If it was someone else, Li Qingyi might have asked Miss Chen to stay away for her privacy. But since it was the Seventh Princess, there was no need for that.

The reason is very simple, the seventh princess is older than her.

There wasn't much she could do for Miss Chen. She had known about the Lin Wang Mansion before and heard about Chen Qicong's distress. She wanted to help if she could, so she asked her parents for help.

But at this moment, if something really happened to someone, what solution could Li Qingyi have...she would probably have to ask someone for help.

There's nothing she can do. This is how it is when she's young. Even if she's a princess, it's impossible for her to go into battle herself at her age.

In this situation, if something needs to be done, the Seventh Princess would be a good help.

Since his master had said so, the person who came to report the news did not hesitate and explained the situation in a few words.

"Ms. Chen has been staying at home lately and rarely goes out. She only went out with Madam Chen today to burn incense. She came out of the temple on the outskirts of the city half an hour ago. On the way back, she happened to run into a few young men riding by on horseback."

"Then, the Chen family's carriage suddenly startled the horses and rushed directly towards one of the young masters, causing the young master to fall off the horse and break his leg."

"The Chen family's carriage also overturned. Madam Chen and Miss Chen both had their heads bruised. The young man's identity was also confirmed. He is the second son of Mr. Zhang."

The system also reminded Li Qingyi at this time: [Zhang Nianran, a popular candidate for next year's imperial examination, is twenty years old this year. Not only is he talented in writing, but he is also somewhat proficient in martial arts. He is a rare all-rounder in the literary circle.]

I don’t know how many years ago, the so-called gentlemen and literati, as you can see from the six arts of a gentleman, also include chariot riding and archery. They focused on being able to stabilize the country with literature and be able to ride a horse and kill the enemy with martial arts.

Think about Confucius and the idiom "Kong Wu Li Wei". Confucius was a big man from Shandong. He could travel around the countries safely not just by talking.

As a result, after experiencing the great cowardice, this scholar began to develop in the direction of lameness. The term "weak scholar" became his synonym. If one knows a little bit of martial arts, he can be said to be both civil and military. It's really... ironic.

Anyway, when Li Qingyi heard that a certain gentleman was both civil and military last time, he turned around and asked General Jiang how good this gentleman's martial arts were. He saw General Jiang, who seemed the gentlest among the generals, showing a sarcastic smile.

Li Qingyi: ...

Well, she understood it then.

But that's not the point right now.

The point is... Li Qingyi: "Have you seen a doctor?"

As he spoke, Li Qingyi recalled some of his attempts and asked, "After falling off the horse, did he move immediately?"

She couldn't remember where she heard it from, but it seemed that after a person falls or gets injured, it's best not to move immediately to avoid secondary injury when the situation is unclear. It's better to find a professional to come to the scene and provide appropriate treatment.

However, perhaps he did not expect Li Qingyi to ask these questions. The messenger was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "This, this, I don't know either."

Li Qingyi: "... Then tell me everything you know, for example, whether Mrs. Chen and Miss Chen had planned to go out long ago, or whether it was suddenly planned in the past few days; who are the others among those young masters, what are their identities, and how are they related to Mr. Zhang."

"By the way, is there anyone who has any connection with the Linwang Mansion?"

As Li Qingyi asked him this, he was actually also asking the system.

System: [Wait a moment.]

System: [A lot of information popped up suddenly. I'll sort it out. Host, please wait a moment.]

Li Qingyi: [OK.]

When the messenger heard Li Qingyi's question, he actually knew some information, such as the information about those young masters.

After hearing him report a string of names and family backgrounds, Li Qingyi didn't notice anything wrong with this group of people for a moment. They were all young people with similar family backgrounds, and he guessed that they just happened to make an appointment to go out and play together today.

but……

Li Qingyi turned around and asked the Seventh Princess. After meeting the Seventh Princess's thoughtful gaze, he paused and said, "Seventh Sister, I don't know much about the imperial examination. I'm just a little curious. For those who are preparing for the exam, the imperial examination should be a very important thing, right?"

"It's only a few months away from the imperial examination, and there are so many foreigners in the capital now. Since Master Zhang wants to take the exam, shouldn't he try his best to ensure his safety and stay out as little as possible?"

As a result, he not only went out, but also rode out of the city with a group of people. Was he really not worried at all about encountering an accident?

Let alone anything else, as far as Li Qingyi knew, there had been an incident of death from falling off a horse at the beginning of the year. At that time, the family members even went to the Dali Temple and insisted that their son was murdered. In the end, it was found out that it was the playboy who brought his own death upon himself and had an accident, and it had nothing to do with others.

The lessons of the past are right in front of us.

Then, Li Qingyi asked the messenger, "Are you sure it was just a broken leg and no one was killed?"

"Before I left, all the young masters and young ladies were fine."

The Seventh Princess also answered: "It is true that many people will concentrate on studying at home before the examination, but there are also some people who will find things to do to relax themselves before the exam. Maybe Master Zhang is the latter."

Li Qingyi thought about it and understood a little bit.

Yes, before the college entrance examination, candidates will be given a few days off to rest and adjust their condition. The Zhang family has a Mr. Zhang, and it is not a family with no experience and only knows how to study.

The Seventh Princess: "We are still listening through a veil. If you are worried, why don't you go out of the palace and take a look while it's still early."

Li Qingyi: "Now?"

The Seventh Princess: "Well, if you want to go, I will go with you. It just so happens that your Ninth Sister is leaving the palace today. Maybe we can bring her back with us then."

Li Qingyi asked casually, "Where is Sister Nine?"

The Seventh Princess was quiet for a few breaths before she said, "She went to her maternal grandfather's house."

Li Qingyi inexplicably felt that the Seventh Princess' tone was a bit strange when she said this, but she didn't think much about it at the moment. She rolled her eyes and looked at Fang Xin.

Fang Xin bowed slightly and said, "I will have someone inform Her Majesty the Queen so that she won't worry."

Li Qingyi smiled and said to the Seventh Princess: "Seventh sister, let's go."

Then, Li Qingyi saw a crying Mrs. Chen, a numb Miss Chen and... an expressionless Chen Qicong.
