Wangyounu just disappeared like a gust of wind, as if she had never appeared before, leaving Li Longji alone in the house. It was not until Wangyounu left for a long time that he came back to his senses, and he could not stop thinking about it.
What is still gone is Wangyounu's superb skills and her strange identity as a patron saint.
Therefore, in many cases, a person's ability is absolutely proportional to a person's credibility. Just like now, if someone tells Li Longji that he is someone's patron saint, then Li Longji will probably regard it as someone's patron saint.
It's a ridiculous nonsense, but since this sentence came from the mouth of a top expert like Wangyounu, Li Longji couldn't help but believe her.
It's been a while, but Mingzhu hasn't come back yet. Li Longji was bored alone in the room. He wanted to learn more about Mingzhu from the details of the room's furnishings, but he found that Mingzhu simply used this place as a pawn.
Everything in the inn is borrowed from the princess's mansion, and there is no trace of the Pearl in the whole room.
Li Longji's eyes wandered over the wardrobes and drawers. Maybe Mingzhu put all her personal belongings in those compartments.
Of course Li Longji would not go through other people's cabinets, but he still couldn't help but stare hard at those household items, really wishing that his eyes could penetrate those wooden boards and see the secrets inside.
Li Longji suddenly felt a little helpless in his heart, because he discovered that ever since he met Mingzhu, he seemed to have been spending his days guessing - guessing her appearance, guessing her origins, guessing her thoughts. Is it because of this?
There are so many things in her body that she doesn't understand, so why does she care about her so much and can't let her go?
Just when Li Longji was bored, the door was pushed open gently. Li Longji turned around and saw Mingzhu walking in. It was still the same face that originally belonged to the forgetful girl, but with an extra layer of thickening on her face.
of sadness.
Mingzhu was a little surprised to see Li Longji in her room, but before she could speak, Li Longji spoke first. He originally had a lot to say, but for some reason, when he saw Mingzhu's deep expression,
Worryingly, a sudden realization came to his mind, and he suddenly forgot everything he wanted to say, and blurted out:
"What's wrong with you?" The concern was beyond words.
"I'm fine, why are you here?" Mingzhu replied in a depressed tone.
"I happened to come to the house, so I came to see you." Li Longji did not dare to say that he came specifically for her.
"Oh, do you have time? Come and talk to me for a while?"
"No problem." Seeing that Mingzhu wanted to talk to him when she was in a bad mood, Li Longji was really flattered this time.
Just as Mingzhu was about to speak, she suddenly paused, looked outside the door, and said:
"Why don't we go out for a walk."
Li Longji knew that Mingzhu didn't want others to hear their conversation, although he also felt a little strange, because last time, Mingzhu said it herself, she could naturally take precautions and prevent others from eavesdropping. I don't know why she did it this time.
Changed his mind. However, Li Longji did not dwell on these trivial matters, but followed Mingzhu obediently out of the house.
Anle Mansion is extremely wide, and it is not difficult to find a place that is open and unnoticed. The two people soon came to a mountain shade next to the lake:
"I just went to visit a female slave in the princess's mansion. Princess Anle got angry for no reason last night and almost beat her to death. Although her life has been saved, her disability is inevitable." Mingzhu said lowly.
said the voice.
Only then did Li Longji understand the reason for Mingzhu's sadness and couldn't help but ask:
"Are you familiar with that slave girl?"
"No, I don't know her at all. It was only when I saw her beaten yesterday and I rescued her that I realized there was such a person in the world. I only found out her name today."
Although Li Longji understood that Mingzhu was feeling sad for the slave girl, he could not quite understand her thoughts:
"Then why are you so sad?"
After listening to Li Longji's question, Mingzhu couldn't help but raise her head and took a serious look at Li Longji. Then she smiled a little self-consciously. The smile was very light and fleeting. Li Longji suddenly felt that sometimes, the smile was bigger than the smile.
If you don't smile, you will still be miserable, just like the pearl you are now.
"You must also think that it is normal for slaves to be beaten to death by their masters, right?" Mingzhu asked, looking at the lake.
Of course Li Longji knew that he couldn't answer normally at this time, but as a person who had been surrounded by servants since he was born, he really didn't know why this kind of thing was abnormal.
Although Mingzhu turned her back to Li Longji, she seemed to see through his mind and said quietly:
"I know that you also think that beating slaves to death is normal, because in your minds, slaves are not people like you, but an item bought by the master. Of course, the master can do whatever he wants when needed.
Dispose of their belongings!" Mingzhu's voice became colder and colder because she thought of Bicao, Boss Chen and his wife, the real Fang Mingzhu, Tang Lizi, and so many more people living in this prosperous age.
slave!
Mingzhu suddenly became excited. She turned around and stared straight at Li Longji with a pair of eyes as clear as water but as straightforward as fire:
"But have you ever thought about it? They are the same people as you. They were born to their parents in ten months of pregnancy and raised with thousands of beauties. They live in Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty just like you, and they work hard every day.
, but this prosperous age has nothing to do with them! What is left to them is endless years of suffering, an unguaranteed future, and the possibility of being beaten to death at any time. Do you think this is fair?"
Li Longji was stunned. Rather than being alerted by Mingzhu's words, he was shocked by Mingzhu's attitude. Since he met Mingzhu, he had never seen her so angry.
, and the first time she got angry in front of him was actually for some unrelated slaves?
Li Longji didn't quite understand Mingzhu's way of thinking, but he didn't want to see Mingzhu so sad and irritable:
"Okay, Mingzhu, don't be like this. You believe me, I have always been kind to my servants." Li Longji didn't know why he wanted to explain to Mingzhu. He just felt that since Mingzhu was so disdainful of those who abused slaves,
He should quickly explain to Mingzhu that he is not that kind of person. Subconsciously, he cares about his image in Mingzhu's mind.
But unexpectedly, after listening to his words, Mingzhu didn't have any big reaction, she was still so depressed:
"Even if you treat your slaves well alone, you can't save all the slaves in the world."
Li Longji was stunned. He thought Mingzhu's idea was too weird:
"How to save all the slaves in the world? And why should we save them?"
At this time, Mingzhu spoke again:
"My lord, can you agree to my request?"
When Li Longji heard that Mingzhu actually called himself Prince, he knew that what she was going to say must be important, so he became serious:
"you say."
"If one day I can really help you realize your dream, then you can set a new law and no longer allow masters to execute slaves at will, okay?"
Li Longji hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"Yes, if that day comes, I promise you."
The look on Mingzhu's face finally became a little brighter:
"I know that the prince is a gentleman who cares about the world."
Li Longji smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself:
"Mingzhu, you are wrong. The fact that I agree to your request has nothing to do with everyone in the world, but only with you. Because I can't bear to see your miserable smile again, and I don't want to see you turn your back to
That lonely back when I was there. At that time, although you and I were close at hand, we seemed to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains. So, I did this just for you, because I could feel that if I refused, you
You will disappear forever from my life, even if it is not now or in the future, when you complete the mission entrusted to you by your Fang family, you will disappear forever, and I can no longer lose you."
Mingzhu also knew that she couldn't stay in such a secluded place for too long with Li Longji, so the two of them returned to the backyard together. On the way, Mingzhu asked:
"By the way, I haven't asked yet, how did you get in?"
"Oh, when I came, I happened to meet your Wangyou sister waiting for you in the room. I don't know how she got in."
A wry smile appeared on Mingzhu's face:
"There's no need to ask how she got in. She can go anywhere if she wants."
Li Longji also deeply agrees with this view.
At this moment, a maid of Princess Anle happened to pass by them, and Mingzhu stopped her:
"How did the princess's banquet go?" Mingzhu asked pretending to be casual.
"It's not over yet?" the maid replied.
"It's not a short time." Mingzhu said.
"It's indeed not short."
"Well, could you please go to the front hall and see if the princess still needs me to serve you? If not, I will go home today."
"yes."
"Just take a look quietly, don't disturb the princess."
"Miss Fang, please rest assured, I understand."
Because Mingzhu saved Bicao, these maids all loved Mingzhu and devoted themselves to Mingzhu's instructions.
"Are you going home today?" As soon as Li Longji heard the news, he couldn't help but feel something in his heart, and a strange but warm heat surged through his body.
"Actually, I mainly want to take a look at the situation in the front hall." Mingzhu replied somewhat absentmindedly.
"I didn't expect you to care so much about me! It seems that not only are women attractive, but so are men!" Unknowingly, Li Longji's words were filled with deep anger!
