Chapter 169 Chu State, Princess Xiangyu
"Whether in the palace or outside the palace, you are the one who is truly qualified to give orders."
"As for me, I will fight for you mother and son." Li Yi stroked Lu Li's beautiful hair and said with a smile.
He alone can't take care of both inside and outside the palace. He has to hand over the manpower in the inner palace to Lu Li. In this way, if there is an emergency, there is no need to wait until he comes back to deal with it.
For Wen Yan's childbirth, Quande went to Du Qiansi because of his confession. Once he left, Lu Li had no source of information.
Those in Lenggong all knew that the child in Wen Yan's womb was wrong, so who would dare to report to Lu Li and let her make up her mind.
If it wasn't for rushing back by himself, dragging it on would definitely result in the death of both mother and child.
"I don't know how the history books will write us down." Lu Li chuckled, holding Li Yi's restless hand.
"Let them go."
"Wolf ambitions, stealing the country and treacherous eunuchs, fornicating the harem, they write whatever they like, and don't care about the affairs behind them."
"I just do my own thing."
Li Yi kissed Lu Li with a warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, he really couldn't hold it back.
Lu Li, who had just recovered some strength, couldn't get out of bed because of Li Yi's torment.
Looking at Lu Li's smooth and rosy face, Li Yi leaned over, kissed her, hugged Lu Li, and Li Yi took a nap.
After waking up, he got out of bed lightly, trying not to disturb the stunning beauty on the couch.
Leaving Zhaonanyuan, Li Yi went to Duqiansi.
Before the situation is completely stable, he can't help but stare at it cautiously.
"Did there be any changes in Taiwei Zheng?" Yin Cheng went out to do some errands, and Li Yi asked an avant-garde.
"Shortly after Zhou Taifu moved out, someone appeared around his house, we tracked him down, and finally entered Zheng Taiwei's mansion." Du Qianwei said respectfully.
The previous mansion of the Zheng family was burned down, but with the power and status of the Zheng family, another one could be built casually.
Not to mention, his real estate in Zijing City cannot be counted on one hand.
You can change rooms for a week.
"It seems that Lieutenant Zheng misses his old friend very much." Li Yi took a sip of tea.
"From now on, all members of the Zheng family are not allowed to leave the mansion at will, and let a group of people stand guard 50 meters away."
"If you have a bad temper, if you want to make trouble, you should take it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There are many cells there, and they are enough."
"Yes." Du Qianwei took the order to retreat.
Li Yi turned his head, looked at the gathering dark clouds, and frowned slightly. He was afraid there would be heavy rain tonight, or maybe thunder.
It's time to call it a day and go home.
As Li Yi expected, the downpour was accompanied by thunder, making the night sometimes feel like day.
Xiao Qingyue was better than before, but under the sound of thunder, she still panicked subconsciously. This kind of fear seemed to be carved into her bones.
Li Yi put his arms around her and coaxed her softly. He asked Xiao Zhen that Xiao Qingyue had been frightened when she was young, but that guy said no, it was born like this.
Li Yi stood in front of Xiao Qingyue, hugged her, and hummed to her softly.
Well, nursery rhymes.
As the thunder gradually died down, Xiao Qingyue fell asleep in Li Yi's arms.
Li Yi stroked her back gently, lowered his voice, but kept humming, so that she could sleep more peacefully.
When the thunder stopped completely, Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, kissed Xiao Qingyue's forehead, hugged her, and then fell asleep.
In half a month, [-] guards arrived at the cities near Qiling and Jiangdi respectively.
Li Yi looked at the secret letter in his hand, and lightly raised the corner of his mouth, it was time to dig out the roots of the Zheng family.
"Go and ask Taifu to come." Li Yi said to Guo he lived in Duqiansi, Zhou Renshi came within a quarter of an hour.
Li Yi pushed the brewed tea to him, "Teacher guess, why did I invite you here this time?"
"Is everyone here?" Zhou Renshi asked casually.
Li Yi chuckled, "It's indeed here."
"That's a good relationship. I don't have to worry about going out. The third assassination should be avoided."
"But it's hard to say. I don't know how many dead soldiers from other countries have infiltrated around Zijing City. They may have their eyes on my head while staring at you."
"You still shouldn't take it lightly." Zhou Renshi sighed while blowing on the tea.
"Teacher, you can't imitate me, you're so cowardly." Li Yi squinted, as if he didn't want to be with him.
Zhou Renshi didn't even raise his eyelids, "You are really stubborn. There is a group of people around the door, plus the guards patrolling everywhere, who can touch you in Zijing City."
"As soon as I go out, I either throw darts or stab in the back. The treatment is not evenly distributed."
Seeing Zhou Renshi making complaints, Li Yi couldn't help laughing out loud. Some people, you have known each other not long ago, but as soon as you meet them, you will feel trust. Zhou Renshi has such a charisma.
He just made Li Yi subconsciously believe that they were in the same camp.
From Zhou Renshi's eyes, you can't see any shadows. His words have always been clearly expressed.
He doesn't pose as a saint, hate is hate.
"When the Zheng family is settled, I'll send a team of guards to the Tai Tuo. What about you? You can recruit some more guards yourself. You'll always hide in the front office of the capital. I won't be able to save face."
Li Yi stood up with his hands behind his back, his face sombre, he almost had the words "I have carried too much" engraved on his forehead.
Zhou Renshi laughed. Among young people, there should be very few Li Yi who can pretend like this.
The key is that the skin is not only thick, but also extremely resilient.
"Be quick and don't leak any news. In order to prevent the fish from dying and the net from being broken, you have to control Zheng Yanzhuo as soon as possible."
"When this side is doing something, the other side should also follow closely. Don't give them time to send messages."
"The Zheng family has been in business for so many years, and the forces behind the scenes cannot be completely eradicated by you in a short while."
"The road has to be taken step by step, and focus on the key points." Zhou Renshi put down his teacup and said in a calm voice.
"With the Taifu reminding me, I think it's hard to miss it."
The two of them looked out with far-reaching gazes, and because of Li Yi's youth, there was a trace of determination in the far-reaching eyes.
...
...
"Princess, the portrait of the eunuch who is manipulating the royal family has already been passed on. Do you want to take a look? He looks so handsome."
Chu State, Princess Mansion, Princess Xiangyu's maid entered the room with a painting scroll, and whispered to the woman sitting upright.
The woman raised her eyes, her eyes were like glass bottles, clear and flawless, she was dressed in a light blue palace dress, dignified and noble, but her brows and eyes were dusty and alienated.
Blinking her beautiful eyes, Princess Xiangyu focused on the scroll in her hand again.
Seeing this, the maid sighed softly in her heart, put down the scroll, and stepped back gently.
It took a long time for Princess Xiangyu to put down the scroll. She got up and walked to the window, staring at it, but there was nothing in her eyes. She was slender and fair-skinned, like the most perfect beauty.
It's just that this jade man is really just like jade, not angry.
Turning around and seeing the painting scroll on the table, Princess Xiangyu walked over and opened it like she used to look at the painting.
When the scroll gradually unfolded and the face in the portrait appeared, Princess Xiangyu suddenly raised her eyes and took a step back, almost unable to hold the scroll in her hand.
