Li Nanke and the eldest princess spent a long time talking about official matters.
Gu Ying, who was waiting in the outer courtyard, was lying on the desk in the corner boredly, scribbling on the rice paper with a brush, just like her messy mood at the moment.
Although she was "forced" by Luo Qianqiu, she had to stay with Li Nanke.
But the more the other party acted like this, the more panicked she became.
It was as if he was trapped in a net and when he tried to break free, the bottom was covered with sharp thorns.
These thorns are not poisonous, but they are enough to hurt.
"How can I do?"
Gu Ying sighed, feeling confused.
It's not that it's unacceptable to stay with Li Nanke, but I always feel like I have some shortcomings and I feel very uneasy.
Is it love?
But she no longer desires such things.
While Gu Ying was thinking wildly, the eldest princess finally walked out of the study room in the inner courtyard, her steps a little messy.
Gu Ying quickly stood up.
When he was preparing to salute, he accidentally saw the name "Li Nanke" written on the paper he had just scribbled on, and there were several of them.
There was even a man's head drawn on the corner of the rice paper.
Although the painting is very general and abstract, anyone with a discerning eye will know who it is at a glance.
I wrote this?
The woman was stunned and couldn't believe it.
Seeing the eldest princess coming over, Gu Ying hurriedly folded the paper over for fear of being seen by others, and two red clouds appeared on her cheeks, which were burning fiercely.
My heart was beating wildly.
"The eldest princess."
Gu Ying said hello unnaturally.
Such an obviously abnormal expression immediately aroused Bai Ruyue's suspicion.
Seeing the blush on the other party's beautiful face, Bai Ruyue couldn't help but wonder if this woman had gone to the study just now to eavesdrop, that's why she had such an expression.
"Your Highness, your skirt is wet."
Being stared at by Bai Ruyue, Gu Ying felt increasingly guilty.
At this moment, she suddenly saw a wet patch on the eldest princess's skirt, so she subconsciously shouted out, trying to divert the other party's attention.
Bai Ruyue was startled and looked down.
Sure enough, a small piece of the skirt decorated with orchid cloth was wet.
"...Well, I accidentally spilled the tea just now."
Bai Ruyue, whose ears were already flushed with red glow, made a random comment and left quickly.
Seeing the other party in such a hurry, Gu Ying was confused.
But fortunately, the other party didn't notice the paper she was writing on. The woman finally let go of her worries and hurriedly crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the bamboo basket for the garbage.
After throwing it in, she felt uneasy again, so she picked it out, tore it into pieces and threw it away again.
After a while, Li Nanke came out.
Face full of red light.
I don't know what's going on.
Gu Ying did not dare to look directly into his eyes, blushing and whispered: "The eldest princess has left."
"Oh, I know."
Li Nanke picked up the teacup on the table and moistened his mouth.
Gu Ying glanced at the torn pieces of paper in the bamboo basket, and suddenly regretted not burning them. If Li Nanke had picked them up, she would have died.
"Are you hungry? How about we go out to eat something?"
Gu Ying planned to take the man away.
Li Nanke shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, I've just eaten."
"Have you eaten?" Gu Ying's eyes were surprised.
Li Nanke realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he laughed and said, "Just eat some pastries. If you are hungry, I will go eat with you."
"Neither do I……"
Just as Gu Ying was about to shake her head, her eyes passed over the pieces of paper in the bamboo basket and she nodded, "I'm indeed a little hungry. Please accompany me to go outside to eat something."
"okay."
Li Nanke didn't think much and agreed immediately.
As soon as the two people came out of the yard, they met Lan Minsheng who came to see him.
"Hey, Brother Li is going out."
"Is something wrong?"
Li Nanke frowned.
Lan Minsheng smiled and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li also visited the scene of Mrs. Guan's murder this morning. Did you find anything?"
Li Nanke shrugged, "What can I discover, and the murderer is now clear, just catch the monster."
"It is still very rare for monsters to kill people by disemboweling them."
Lan Minsheng said, "What's even more puzzling is why we chose Mrs. Guan, who was new to the capital. Brother Li, do you think this is strange?"
"I have no idea."
Faced with Lan Minsheng's clichés, Li Nanke was a little disgusted and his words became colder.
Besides, he really didn't know.
Seeing that Li Nanke was a little angry, Lan Minsheng touched his nose and apologized with a smile: "Sorry, I heard in Yuncheng that you are very good at investigating crimes, so I am a little curious."
"It's all just luck."
"Brother Li, are you interested in investigating this case?"
"without."
Li Nanke refused without thinking.
He just promised the eldest princess to investigate secretly, and this kind of thing should not be known publicly to others.
"That's such a pity." Lan Minsheng looked regretful.
"Is there anything else?"
Li Nanke didn't want to get too entangled with the other party and said, "I'm hungry and want to go out to eat something."
"Oh, no more."
Lan Minsheng turned sideways and said with a smile, "There is a restaurant called 'Ruiyun' nearby. The specialties are very good. Brother Li can go there and try it."
"Thanks."
Li Nanke hugged Gu Ying's waist and passed Lan Minsheng.
…
Li Nanke did not go to the restaurant that Lan Minsheng mentioned. Instead, he randomly found a stall and ordered a cage of vegetarian tofu buns and two bowls of tofu puffs.
"There are a lot of people here."
Because she was beautiful, she inevitably attracted the attention of many men around her, which made Gu Ying feel uncomfortable.
“The real food is in the smell of fireworks.”
Li Nanke picked up a small bun with chopsticks and handed it to Gu Ying's lips, gesturing for her to open her mouth. "Let them see it. The more they see it, the more they will envy me."
Such an intimate gesture made Gu Ying somewhat resistant, especially on the street.
But when she heard the man's proud words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, opened her red lips and took a bite.
It tastes really good.
Just as she was about to take a second bite, Li Nanke swallowed the bun she had eaten in one gulp.
"tasty."
Li Nanke made a pun.
Gu Ying blushed and stepped on her opponent angrily. Seeing many men around her staring at Li Nanke with jealous and murderous eyes, she said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"
"I want a hero to save the beauty."
Li Nanke said nonchalantly.
Gu Ying was at a loss. When she saw that the other party was about to pick up the buns and feed them to her, she grabbed them and said, "I have my own skills, don't treat me like a child."
"Then I'm a child, you feed me."
Li Nanke fully demonstrated his shamelessness and leaned forward and opened his mouth.
"roll."
"I want to drink milk."
"..."
Gu Ying's face twitched, and she suddenly regretted taking this guy out for dinner.
Why did he suddenly become a gangster?
At this time, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a handsome young man in rich clothes and holding a folding fan walking over, and said helplessly: "Look, it's all your fault."
"Blame me? If you were uglier, would this happen?"
Li Nanke chuckled.
Although it was a reproach, Gu Ying's heart felt as sweet as honey.
What woman doesn't like to be praised.
"If you feel unhappy, a fight will be the best way to satisfy you." Li Nanke rolled up his sleeves and prepared to beat the disciple violently.
But the handsome young man did not come up to tease Gu Ying or provoke Li Nanke as in the script. Instead, he walked directly to the side and sat down and ordered a basket of steamed buns.
