If you don't try, don't try. Why are you looking at people with those strange eyes...
When I was a child, I often left teeth marks on my wrists, and then used a ballpoint pen to draw the hands of the watch, pretending to be a watch - biting myself, it was nothing more normal.
Ignoring the second lady and walking back to the room, Li Yi saw Xiaozhu and Xiaocui playing in the yard. Li Yi stopped, thought about it, waved to her and said, "Xiaozhu, come here. Let me ask you something..."
A government office somewhere in Kyoto.
Several officials responsible for the "Holy Religion" case gathered together and looked at a portrait spread out on the table, frowning.
Li Xuan walked in from the outside, glanced at everyone, and asked: "What have you seen? You can tell me!"
This case has been dragging on for a long time, consuming his little patience. He is still waiting for the end of the case to discuss a scientific issue with Shen Shu. Speaking of which, he hasn't seen Shen Shu for quite some time. .
The Minister of Dali Temple said helplessly: "Your Highness, regardless of whether this portrait is true or false, it is difficult for us to find the "Tianhou Empress" based on this portrait alone. The streets and alleys of Kyoto are already covered with this portrait. , so far nothing has been found..."
On the other side, Liu Dayou looked thoughtful in the capital. He always felt that the "Queen of Heaven" in this portrait had been seen somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it...
Feeling upset, I picked up the previous file again and started reading it.
"Okay, hurry up..." Li Xuan waved his hand, and when he was about to walk out, he glanced at the portrait on the table and stopped in his tracks.
He walked over again and looked at the portrait on the table in trance.
Liu Dayou put down the files on the two cases in his hands. As if he realized something, he walked over quickly and looked at the portraits on the table.
The next moment, Li Xuan put the portrait away directly.
"Your Highness, you..." All the officials looked confused.
"I'll take this portrait back and study it carefully. You guys... disperse." He waved his hand, picked up the portrait, and left.
All the officials looked at each other in confusion. There was only one original painting of "The Queen of Heaven". They couldn't find anyone based on the original painting, let alone the painters who imitated it. What on earth did His Highness the Crown Prince want to do...
Liu Dayou walked out in a daze, thinking about something that he had just figured out.
It turns out that Li Jianren's death and the burning of Prince Xin's Mansion are not unrelated.
Li Jianren wanted to harm Miss Ruoqing, so the people of the Holy Cult simply sent him to hell first.
King Xin burned down Miss Ruoqing's residence, and his palace was also burned down by the people of that holy religion.
These two seemingly unrelated cases are closely connected because of one person.
However, Miss Ruoqing is the Queen of Heaven - how is this possible?
…
Li Yi took a sip of wine and decided to promote Xiaozhu to be his royal wine warmer in the future. The grape wine she warmed tasted different from others.
Li Xuan, who was somewhat absent-minded, walked in from outside at this time.
Li Yi poured him a glass of wine and said, "What's wrong, isn't Mingzhu handling court affairs? Why do you look so sad again?"
After Li Xuan sat down, he sighed and handed him the painting in his hand.
Li Yi opened the scroll, stood up suddenly, glared at him, and said loudly: "Tell me, why is Ruo Qing's portrait there with you? You already have the imperial concubine and Shen Shu. Do you have any other plans for her? You Are you still human?"
The painting skills of this portrait are not very high, and most people may not be able to recognize it, but he and Ruo Qing have been together for so long, how could they not recognize it?
"Shen Shu?" Li Xuan was startled.
"This is not important." Li Yi waved his hand, "Why do you have Ruo Qing's portrait?"
Li Xuan shook his head, looked at him, and said: "What is painted on this is the "Tianhou Empress" of the holy religion."
Li Yi looked at the scroll again and asked, "Did you get it wrong? Are there other people who look so similar in this world?"
At this time, Lao Fang hurried in from outside and said in a panic: "Uncle, it's bad, Miss Ruoqing is missing!"
Li Yi was stunned. Although Ruo Qing didn't tell him her plan, he didn't have to worry about Ruo Qing leaving. He pretended to be surprised and said, "What's going on?"
"The few people who were protecting Miss Ruoqing were all knocked unconscious. When they woke up, Miss Ruoqing was gone." Lao Fang said anxiously: "Don't worry, uncle, I have sent people everywhere. Gone to find it!"
"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, it's not good!" Xiaozhu ran over from Ruoqing's room in a panic, handed a letter to Li Yi, wiped her tears, and said with a cry in her voice: "Miss, Miss, she gone!"
Li Yi opened the letter, and she detailed in the letter how she became the Queen of Heaven. Although none of this was her intention, in order not to implicate him and the Li family, the best way was for her to leave here...
Li Yi put down the letter and sat down slowly.
After Li Xuan looked over, his expression suddenly changed, and he shook his head and said, "I, I don't know. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let them investigate..."
Xiaozhu hugged Li Yi's arm and said with a cry in her voice: "Master Li, what should I do? What should I do now..."
A servant of the Li family came over and whispered: "Master Marquis, there is an adult from the Ministry of Punishment visiting..."
Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Let him come in."
"I've met His Highness the Crown Prince, and I've met Mr. Li." An official from the Ministry of Justice walked in and bowed respectfully.
Li Xuan was upset, glanced at him, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The official looked up and whispered: "Back to Your Highness, our people have just found out the identity of the woman in the portrait. However, the "Empress of Heaven" seems to be the same as the Marquis of Li County..."
"It seems like something!" Li Xuan said with a sullen face, "What do you people in the Criminal Department do for food? If he says it is the Queen of Heaven, it is the Queen of Heaven. Why don't you think about it..." Investigate carefully!"
The official from the Ministry of Justice was scolded by His Highness the Crown Prince, and he could only nod his head in agreement and retreat helplessly.
Li Xuan looked at Li Yi and said with some worry: "Don't worry, I will order someone to find Miss Ruoqing..."
Li Yi waved his hand, "No need, no matter what, she is also the Queen of Heaven of the Holy Cult..."
"No, no, no..." Li Xuan shook his head repeatedly, "Didn't you say last time that the Heavenly Empress of the Holy Cult was the Taoist girl? How could there be two Heavenly Empresses? Miss Ruoqing's matter was a misunderstanding. I am issuing an order that the Taoist nun is wanted in Panorama Country!"
Li Yi shook his head and did not speak again.
Li Xuan said solemnly: "I will go back and issue an order right away!"
When he walked out of Li Mansion, Li Xuan still looked worried.
At this time, the Holy Religion was no longer a concern in his mind.
If Miss Qing leaves, with Li Yi's temperament, he will definitely not let it go. If he leaves too, this Kyoto will be meaningless...
In the yard, Lao Fang looked at Li Yi who was calmly drinking grape wine in surprise, and asked: "Sir, aren't you surprised that Miss Ruoqing is the Queen of Heaven of the Holy Sect?"
Not to mention Miss Ruoqing suddenly became the Empress of Heaven, she just disappeared, my uncle's behavior should not be like this!
"What's wrong with Ruoqing being the Empress of Heaven?" Li Yi looked at him and said, "I'm still the Green Dragon Envoy of the Holy Religion. Have I ever shown off?"
…
The Holy Cult issue that has caused a lot of commotion in recent days has not yet subsided, but it has caused another wave of trouble in Kyoto.
What happened was that King Xin, who had already left the capital, unexpectedly encountered a group of thugs on his way to his fiefdom. Not only were the group robbed, but His Highness King Xin was also severely beaten by them.
Therefore, His Highness King Xin, who had just left Kyoto, was carried back again.
It was confirmed that that group of thugs were followers of the holy religion.
Although His Highness King Xin caused a disaster, those people finally left Kyoto, and while they were strictly ordered to track down those thugs, the powerful officials all over the capital finally felt relieved.
Finally left...
As for the Queen of Heaven of the Holy Cult, whether she is the wanted Taoist nun or someone else, and whether she has anything to do with Li County Marquis, the court has not yet made a conclusion, and they cannot tell the truth from the false, but both the Crown Prince and the Princess have no idea.
I don't care, it's hard for them to say anything.
As long as I am no longer threatened by those people in the future.
Although the Criminal Department and other yamen found something, they could not confirm that the girl disappeared from Kyoto. His Highness the Crown Prince intended to close the case and even issued a death order for them. This was also a good thing for them. They had to take a step back.
Say, who rushes to Hou's house in Li County to investigate the case?
…
Li Mansion.
Zui Mo looked at Li Yi and asked with burning eyes: "Where did Sister Ruoqing go?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "I really don't know. Her portraits were plastered all over Kyoto a few days ago. They definitely can't appear now..."
"You must know something." Zui Mo looked disbelieving, shook his head and said, "If sister Ruoqing really disappears, you will go crazy. Why would you want to drink grape wine here?"
"Look into my sincere eyes." Li Yi held her face and looked at her, and said, "I didn't lie to you, I really don't know where she is."
Zui Mo opened his hand and felt less nervous. Although he was still very curious about why Sister Ruoqing became the Queen of Heaven, what was more important was that she was safe.
Because if something really happened to her, someone would be much more anxious than her.
Li Yi saw Uncle Li walking past in a hurry and asked, "Uncle Li, what are you doing?"
Butler Li came back again, stood at the door, and said: "Didn't I say last time that we don't have enough manpower at home? We need to pick some more maids. Miss Ruoqing picked a few from the hook fence. Now everyone is here. Let me go and take a look."
