Lingshan picked up the paintings and showed them one by one in front of everyone. He pointed at one of them and said, "I saw the young lady painting this kind of painting before at Leng's house. I couldn't understand it at first. After seeing her paint too many, it became clear."
Now you know what it means. Look at this, there are dots all around a person, which means she is under house arrest, surrounded by guards, and there are a lot of them. Look at this again, a bed, and a gold
Yuanbao means that she has a place to live, has no worries about food and clothing, and is not being treated badly. There is also this picture, with a knife on the top and a golden crown on the bottom. The golden crown means King Xi, and the knife reminds us to be careful. As for the
The other paintings are all deceptions. It seems that the young lady herself is aware of the danger of King Xi."
After hearing Lingshan's explanation, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Xiao Baoer also asked the maid to bring me a sentence, but I don't understand what it means." Chen Shaoxuan saw that Lingshan had solved the mystery in the painting, and then he remembered the Qingtao belt.
In one sentence.
"What are you talking about?" Lingfeng asked hurriedly.
"She said she wanted me to show her the painting to see how she did this time." Chen Shaoxuan frowned and said truthfully.
"Then how did you answer?" Lingshan couldn't wait to ask after hearing this.
"I said the painting was not good, so I asked her to paint it next time and then send it to me." Chen Shaoxuan answered truthfully.
After hearing his answer, Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right. What the lady wants is for you to create a reason for her to deliver the message."
"It seems that Leng Changxi is quite smart." Li Xueyan looked at the paintings carefully and curled her lips.
"Now that we know that she is safe, all we have to do now is to find out the purpose of King Xi." Chen Shaoxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a trace of determination in his eyes. He would definitely not let anyone have the opportunity to harm Leng Changxi.

The mood of summer is gradually receding, and the mood of autumn is getting stronger. The bleak autumn wind is like a pen stained with golden dye. Wherever it blows, it is dyed with a layer of light gold.
The tall sycamore trees in Prince Xi's Mansion were rolled up by the autumn wind, and a few withered yellow leaves danced with the wind and slowly fell. Leng Changxi reached out to catch the fallen leaves, looked at the clear veins on them, and suddenly remembered a sentence: When
When the gorgeous leaves have fallen away, the veins of life can still be seen.
She has seen this autumn every year and never thought it was special. But for some reason, this year's autumn made her feel unusually tired and desolate. Is it because she was alone in jail, or was it because she originally thought she was in jail?
Why did King Xi, who knew how to save himself, suddenly put her under house arrest for no apparent reason?
Leng Changxi let out a long sigh. I'm afraid this move was something Zhao Yuan had never expected, otherwise he would definitely not let her come to Xiuzhou. But what on earth did King Xi want to use him for? There was a faint feeling in her heart.
A feeling of uneasiness arose.
There is a small garden outside the west wing of the house where Leng Changxi lives. The garden is full of flowers from all four seasons. As summer passes and autumn comes, many colorful flowers have gradually withered.
Buried in the soil and turned into nutrients for new life.
However, under the inspiration of the autumn wind, all the chrysanthemums sprouted overnight and bloomed. Even some precious varieties with early flowering period have bloomed in the autumn wind, showing off their beauty to the world.
But such beauty is so despairing in Leng Changxi's eyes, like the brilliance of that flash of light.
She sighed, slowly opened the door, walked into the courtyard, picked up a precious purple embroidered chrysanthemum, and looked at it carefully. At the same time, she was not surprised to see the guards guarding the courtyard. These were obviously
The people who came to protect her were actually arranged to guard her, and even monitor her every word and deed.
Leng Changxi sneered, it had been five or six days since she came to Prince Xi's Mansion, and she had been forgotten in this courtyard. During this period, Leng Changxi asked Qingtao to send another letter, but no one from Prince Xi came to the door. It seems that this
Wang was competing with her to see who could keep his cool.
Thinking like this, the strength of her hand holding the chrysanthemum gradually increased, and finally, a rare hydrangea was shattered in her hands.
"Qing Tao, did King Xi ever say that I was not allowed to leave this courtyard?" Leng Changxi's tone was full of sarcasm.
"No, the prince didn't say that." Qingtao replied obediently, following behind Leng Changxi.
"But why have I been here for so many days in Prince Xi's Mansion and haven't been able to get out of this courtyard?" Leng Changxi's voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for the guards who were guarding in the dark to hear clearly: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Is this for my safety? Or is it imprisoning me?"
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw a guard disappearing quickly outside the courtyard from the corner of her eye, but in half a stick of incense, he came back and stood at the door.
"Qingtao, is there anything else interesting in this mansion?" Leng Changxi asked casually, and she felt a sense of caution in her heart.
"If it is a place with beautiful scenery, then the only one is the Golden Forest Pond in the Royal Palace." Qingtao only thought that the fun place Leng Changxi said was a beautiful place, so she blurted out without thinking.
"Let's go, lead the way! Let's go to Jinlin Pond." Leng Changxi had an incomprehensible smile on her lips, turned around, and walked toward the courtyard gate of the west wing.
When she passed through the courtyard gate without any hindrance, Leng Changxi took a deep look at the guard. It seemed that her previous guess was correct. The guard was responsible for reporting!
Since he is willing to let her out of the yard, then he will meet King Xi today. Just as he was conjecturing, Leng Changxi saw a group of people slowly walking towards her direction from a distance, led by a middle-aged man.
The man was energetic and handsome, and a small goatee on his chin made him look dignified and steady.
Leng Changxi stood there with squinted eyes, looking at him slowly walking towards her with a half-smile. She immediately concluded in her heart that this person was King Xi! Because Zhao Yuan's facial features were so similar to his.
"Your Majesty." When the man stopped in front of Leng Changxi, Leng Changxi politely curtsied.
King Xi narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time. He found that she was not afraid at all, and he felt a little more interesting in his heart - almost no one could be so calm and composed under his gaze.
"Are you the young lady of the Leng family?" King Xi asked calmly.
"Yes, I am Leng Changxi." Just as Leng Changxi was about to raise her head and look directly at King Xi, four big words suddenly flashed in her mind - hide your strength and bide your time. So she hurriedly lowered her head and replied timidly.
When King Xi saw her like this, he couldn't help but frown. He suddenly felt a little boring. It seemed that it was his own misunderstanding that made her think she was calm and composed.
"I have been very busy recently and have neglected my care for Miss Leng. I was planning to visit in person someday, but I didn't expect to meet Miss Leng here. It's better to meet by chance than to invite. If Miss Leng doesn't mind, please chat with me.
How about chatting?" King Xi's voice was calm, but there was a hint of refusal.
