Xuan Yi put down the tea cup and said: "My surname is Zheng Mingyi, an ordinary businessman. This is my housekeeper Defu, and this is the nurse Lan Zihui."
When greeting each other, Ling Shiqi has seen the world. Is this an ordinary businessman? The quality of the housekeeper and the look of the nurse are not something ordinary people can have.
Ling Shiqi smiled and said: "It turns out to be Brother Zheng. Ling Shiqi is causing trouble today."
"Brother Ling, you don't have to be polite. What's the matter here?" Xuan Yi went straight to the topic without being sloppy at all. This is his style of dealing with things.
Ling Shiqi was startled and said: "To be honest with Brother Zheng, there is a girl named Yang Qizi in the lower house. She has not returned since she went out a few days ago." He looked at Su Yueling again and said, "According to this girl Su, she was in the house a few days ago.
I found Miss Qizi, so I came here today mainly to ask if Miss Qizi is still in the house?"
Xuan Yi smiled coldly in his heart, looked at the so-called "substitute brain" in front of him and said, "I'm afraid that Brother Ling's trip today will be in vain." Then he looked at Su Yueling with a strange look and said, "That day with
Miss Su never came back after she left."
"Oh, that's it." Ling Shiqi said with some embarrassment: "I still have something unclear. Please make it clear to Brother Zheng."
"Brother Ling, you don't have to be polite. If you have any questions, please ask directly." Xuan Yi knew what he was going to ask. He had been waiting for Ling Shiqi to ask this question since just now, and sure enough, Ling Shiqi spoke.
"I wonder who Miss Yang is from the house?" Ling Shiqi asked with his heart high. He understood his worries and expectations, but he was also afraid of being poured cold water on her.
Xuan Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yang Qizi is my maid."
As soon as the word "maid" came out, almost everyone present was startled. Only Xuan Yi was watching the changes in everyone's expressions with great interest.
First it was Defu and Lan Zihui, and the queen suddenly became a maid. It's a shame that the emperor could figure it out.
Then came Su Yueling. She never believed that Qi Zi was just a maid. That day in Qi Zi's room, when she mentioned that it was her who made Qi Zi lose her voice, the domineering man in front of her stepped forward and pinched her without any consideration.
He held her neck. If Qi Zi hadn't begged for mercy, she would have been gone from this world for a long time. Now that she is said to be his maid, is it true or false?
Ling Nian, like Su Yueling, didn't believe that Qi Zi was a maid. If she had a maid and could do anything, and she looked so pitiful, why would she be willing to use her as a maid?
Although Ling Shiqi was dubious, he was relieved in his heart. After all, this answer was what he was expecting. He was not unhappy at all. As for the maid, it would be easy to talk about anything.
Xuan Yi quietly observed the visitors present and made up a story: "Qi Zi is a maid in my house. Because she is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics, she is loved by my mother and she has always been regarded as her daughter.
I never thought that I had done something wrong a few months ago. I said a few words to her, but I didn’t expect that she was not of great status but had a very bad temper. She ran away from home. This time I went out to do errands and passed through Luozhou. I didn’t expect to meet her again.
It's her." Xuan Yi finished these sentences calmly, and Defu and Lan Zihui tried not to laugh.
Ling Shiqi smiled and said: "That's it."
Xuan Yi continued: "Now that she is missing, I can see that Brother Ling is very anxious. How about this? Why is Yang Qizi also a member of my Zheng family? If she disappears, it will be hard for me to explain to my mother when I go back. I think I will send
Please help me find it."
"That's the best. One more person means more strength." Ling Shiqi stood up and said: "Brother Zheng, things in my house are complicated these days. I will leave today. I will definitely visit again someday."
Xuan Yi also stood up and said, "Okay, Brother Ling, please go slowly." Then he turned his head and said, "Defu, see off the guest for me."
"Yes, Master."
Defu sent Ling Shiqi and his party outside the door, watched them get on the carriage, and then walked away.
In the living room, Xuan Yi was worried that Qi Zi's mood was finally exposed. He threw the tea cup to the ground in anger. Lan Zihui was startled and said: "Master, please calm down."
"This stinky woman who doesn't know how to live or die is a danger in herself. She actually wants to stand up for others. Does she think she is the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva and has no power to save her? Is the Ling family really that important to her?"
He thought about what Lan Zihui had said just now that Mr. Liu, the governor of the state, was the last person to see Qi Zi, and he immediately ordered: "Go to the governor's house immediately and ask where the empress went after she left."
"Yes." Lan Zihui went out and disappeared into the night.
From just now, Ling Shiqi's worry about Qi Zi has been imprinted in his mind. Liu Zhongwen is getting married, but will Ling Shiqi be another Liu Zhongwen? This "Liu Zhongwen" is different from the previous one, because he is worried but expresses it differently.
He was worried about her, he could show it, he could say it, so that she could understand what the other person wanted to convey more quickly. But he was different, he was the emperor, how could he reveal his feelings to others, he was worried about her, he could show it
, but can't say it out, say where is the majesty of the emperor, where is the majesty of the celestial dynasty? But his love for this woman has penetrated deep into his bones, and he doesn't do anything or say anything. How can he make her surrender to him?
When he was twenty years old, the neighboring countries from the north entered the border of Fan and came to fight on a large scale. He was not afraid of danger and went on a personal expedition. In just a few months, he defeated the neighboring countries steadily and retreated, and finally surrendered and surrendered. Facing the enemy's thousands of troops
He never hesitated. It was ridiculous that he was in such a mess over a woman at this moment. Xuan Yi even thought about it and found it extremely ironic.
This stupid woman, if I find her this time, I will never let you go lightly. He secretly made up his mind that after he finds her this time, regardless of whether she agrees or not, he must bring her back to the palace and lock her up in Qifeng Palace.
lifetime.
When Ling Shiqi returned to the house, it was already midnight. Su Yueling and Ling Nian had gone back to their rooms, and Ling Shiqi also walked towards his room. When he opened the door, the memory in his mind was suddenly frozen - Yun Xuan
Lou, yes, he saw Zheng Yi in Yunxuan Tower. Although he turned around out of curiosity, he did not forget that chilling face. Ling Shiqi was even more sure that he was not an ordinary person. What on earth was he doing in Luozhou? Really?
As he said, was he passing through Luozhou on business? Or was he just here for Qi Zi? He didn't dare to think about it anymore. At this moment, he would rather believe that Qi Zi was from his house just like Xuan Yi said.
A maid.
In the early morning, the sunlight softly spreads all over the ground. The courtyard of Xiao Mansion is full of spring scenery. The treetops are dotted with flower buds, accompanied by a few tender green leaves. Birds sit on the branches and chirp.
Then, with his head still looking around, he suddenly shot up and landed on the roof, then flew away in groups of three or five.
