Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Qingzhu knelt on the ground and used his back to help Liu Qiqi get out of the car.

The moment Liu Qiqi landed, a gust of wind suddenly blew over from a distance, blowing up the ribbon tied on his bun.

The guards looked at the newcomer with sharp eyes, and at the same time slowly placed their hands on the hilt of the sword and gripped it tightly.

As the two looked at each other, a sense of confrontation suddenly arose.

Liu Qiqi had made sufficient preparations, so of course he couldn't stop because of the guards' obstruction.

But he is not a fool and will not rush forward foolishly.

Liu Qiqi stood by where the carriage was parked, waiting for Qingzhu to take down the chair that came with the carriage and put it away.

He sat down on it, his eyes fixed on the carriages and people passing by Prince Chen's Mansion.

That’s right, he came here to wait for the King!

He just didn't believe that Prince Chen would stay in the mansion forever.

As long as he is given a chance, he is confident that he can win the heart of Prince Chen again!

Liu Qiqi thought about his father's eagerly expectant eyes before he left the house, and suddenly felt full of strength.

When his father called him over yesterday at noon, he was still nervous on the way and didn't understand what his father meant.

He was worried that his father knew that Prince Chen's Mansion did not deliver meals as usual, and would urge him to question him again.

Unexpectedly, after he went there, he was not met with the coldness and scolding he had imagined.

Instead, his father asked him to sit down in a warm manner and let him have dinner with his stepmother and eldest brother.

He was very proud to have a son like him and asked his elder brother to learn from him.

A basket of pleasant words poured down on Liu Qiqi.

Hearing that Liu Qiqi had been suppressed to the lowest point by Aunt Jiang, her mood instantly lifted again.

He believed that what his father said was right. The entire glory of their Liu family really depended on him, Liu Qiqi.

He couldn't just focus on being angry with Prince Chen and disappoint his father.

Thinking this way, Liu Qiqi no longer felt bored squatting at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion. After all, he was fulfilling his father's expectations.

Liu Qiqi, who looked confident at this moment, had no idea what kind of storm he would face after returning home tonight.

The source of this storm began after Lu Yi left the palace.

After the Queen asked Lu Yi to go back, she sighed deeply and decided that business was more important.

It’s better to wait until night time to digest the bad emotions.

The empress sat down at the desk where she handled government affairs and began to review memorials.

After dipping the brush in ink, the empress looked at the memorial filled with words, but she couldn't continue writing.

I always feel a lot of depression in my heart!

Although Lu Yi was involved in this frustration, how could she possibly vent her anger on her own daughter?

The queen placed the ink-soaked brush next to the inkstone, with no emotion in her eyes.

"The boy that Prince Chen jumped into the river to save was from the Liu family, right?"

The eunuch holding the whisk beside him felt a pang of fear in his heart. He stole a glance at the empress's expression and said:

"Your Majesty, Prince Chen did hear Young Master Liu's cry for help, so he personally jumped into the river to save him."

"Humph."

The queen snorted coldly, her face looking calm, but she frightened all the eunuchs and palace maids in the room and made them kneel down.

"I knew that boy has shifty eyes and is not a good person."

The Queen shook her head, as if to stop there.

She raised her hand and asked all the eunuchs and palace maids in the hall to stand up, pick up the brushes and start reviewing the memorials.

Seeing that the empress had no intention of asking any more questions, the chief eunuch took the freshly brewed tea from the tea maid and was about to put it on the table.

The empress suddenly spoke again, "I remember that I wrote a memorial to the Liu family a few days ago, requesting a reward."

The frightened eunuch used his decades of experience to steady the eight-tenths-hot teacup in his hand.

He continued to move, gently placing the teacup next to the Queen.

"Your Majesty, you wrote a memorial to the Liu family, requesting a promotion for Master Liu Yuanshou. In recognition of his excellent parenting, you wish to promote Master Liu to the rank of Fourth Rank."

"According to the date, Lord Liu should have received the imperial edict this afternoon."

The eunuch quickly racked his brains to extract the key information the empress wanted to ask.

"Go and intercept the imperial edict that has not yet been announced and bring it back to me. I will reward him with something else."

The empress stroked the blank imperial edict that the eunuch had just laid out on the table, picked up the brush, thought for a moment, and then wrote it in one go.

After the empress wrote it, she put down her brush and stamped the imperial seal with great satisfaction.

She breathed a sigh of relief and sipped her tea gently. She felt all the depression in her heart dissipate and ordered:

"Take it. This imperial edict is what Liu Yuanshou deserves. Wait until the other one is intercepted and returned, and replace it with this one to send to the Liu Mansion."

"Yes, I have remembered it."

The eunuch said respectfully that he felt that the Liu family's good days were coming to an end.

People were coming and going on the street, accompanied by the constant shouting of adults and the laughter of children.

Lu Yi lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the fireworks outside. He said to Xiaoyue who was sitting outside the carriage:

"How long will it take?"

The original owner had never been to Prince Ping's Mansion, and Lu Yi didn't expect that this trip would take so long.

Her butt was almost numb from sitting on the soft cushion, but she still couldn't see the shadow of Prince Ping's Mansion.

"Your Highness, in another cup of tea, you will be able to see the gate of Prince Ping's Mansion."

Lu Yi picked up the tea beside him and took a sip, then propped up his chin and continued to look at the scene outside the carriage boredly.

The further the carriage went, the quieter the place became, and then it turned into a road at the back.

The mansion standing at the innermost part was actually the destination of Lu Yi's trip, Prince Ping's Mansion.

"Your Highness, Xiaoyue will help you get out of the car."

Lu Yi looked up and his eyes fell on the plaque with three big characters engraved on it: Prince Ping's Mansion.

The plaque was covered in dust, visible to the naked eye, and it was unknown how long it had been since it was wiped. There was no sign that a princess and a county lady lived inside.

Xiaoyue took the small food box, which contained snacks for the young county lady, and then followed Lu Yi's back closely.

At the same time, the four guards following behind the carriage also followed behind Lu Yi to guard.

All four of them opened their tiger eyes and vigilantly observed the surrounding environment.

Xiaoyue stopped a passing maid, revealed her identity, and asked her to lead the way, taking their prince to find Princess Ping and the young county lady.

The maid looked at them with a strange look in her eyes, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of panic.

Looking at Xiaoyue's bright eyes, the maid looked at the food box in her hand and smelled the faint aroma of snacks.

There seemed to be a hint of determination in her eyes, and then as if she had made up her mind, she saluted and changed direction, walking in front to lead the way for them.

The footsteps of several people stepped on the leaves from time to time, and the rustling sounds were heard one after another. The scene along the way was desolate and quiet.

Along the way, apart from this maid, I didn't see any other servants.

Lu Yi understood the principle that people will get cold when they leave, and she was mentally prepared. Seeing this scene, she became even more worried about her niece's situation.

She was thinking about how to help the mother and daughter so that she could treat her better as her employer said.

I originally thought that Princess Ping and my little niece would rest in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, the maid did not take them to the courtyard.

Instead, the maidservant turned and turned again and again until she arrived at a horse ranch inside the mansion, and only then did she stop.

She turned around and looked at Lu Yi with an unconcealable nervousness in her eyes.

Seeing Lu Yi looking at her, the maid quickly lowered her head as if to escape, and her voice trembled violently when she spoke:

"The Prince... The Princess Ping, the Princess Ping, and the County... The County Lady are all at the stables!"
