Xingchen Mansion is still the same Xingchen Mansion, but Little Xingxing clearly feels that the entire mansion has become much emptier.
It's really weird.
Obviously Chu Li left alone, and Xingchen Mansion was the only one missing, but Little Xingxing felt that the entire courtyard was suddenly empty.
"well!"
"Sister, you have sighed nineteen times today."
Little Xingxing lay on the table, feeling a little depressed, "It's so boring."
"Go to the first floor in the world to help."
"It's cold, I don't want to go."
"How about we call Princess and Lu'er, and the four of us can play mahjong together?
The kind that brings you money."
"I don't want to fight."
"..." Oops! You don't even want to win money?
Things got big.
Mo Yu thought for a while, "Sister, if you are really worried, just call Chang Ye and ask where Chu Li has gone."
"..." It was like a basin of cold water was poured down on me.
Little Xingxing was excited and instantly understood the reason why she couldn't get excited about anything these days.
She... is actually worried about Chu Li?
Nope.
The confession that Chu Li made in her ears when he left that day rang again in her ears.
Little Xingxing's ears suddenly turned red.
Mo Yu saw the expression on her face changing again and again for just a moment, just like changing faces in a Sichuan opera. He looked at her blankly, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
"No...no."
"..." Mo Yu rolled his eyes.
Just by looking at that expression, you can tell that something is on your mind, okay?
Not to mention pulling him down.
Mo Yu patted her shoulder, "Hurry up and comb your hair. It's so cold today. I'm going to find a stove and stir-fry the bottom of the pot for hot pot later."
"oh."
Mo Yu left.
Little Xingxing was sitting next to the dressing mirror. She didn't know how to comb her hair in an ancient bun, so she called Lu'er in. Lu'er had nimble fingers and made a bun for her in just a few clicks.
"Master, which hairpin will you use today?"
"..." Little Xingxing glanced at the neatly arranged hairpins in the jewelry box, and suddenly saw the peach wood hairpin, which Chu Li temporarily cut for her on the way to Huguo Temple with Chu Li.
.
This was probably his first time doing this job, and his skills were not very good, so the hairpin looked a bit rough.
After washing up that day.
She took off the hairpin and laughed at Chu Li when she saw the workmanship of the hairpin, but by some strange coincidence, she didn't throw the hairpin away.
"master?"
"Um."
Little Xingxing came back to her senses and pointed at the peach wood hairpin, "Just use that one."
"oh."
Lu'er was a little confused as to why Little Xingxing chose the ugliest one, but she didn't dare to question it. She pinned the hairpin in her hair a few times and fixed the bun.
"alright."
"Um."
Little Xingxing pretended to be calm, "Call Chang Ye here. I have something to ask him."
"yes."
When things got to this point, Xiaoxing had to admit...well, she was indeed a little worried about Chu Li.
His situation was different from Chu Mohan's. Chu Mohan was on an errand. Although there was a certain danger, she knew that Chu Mohan was in Huizhou.
But Chu Li...she didn't even know where he went.
Little Xingxing decided to ask Chang Ye to see if he could find out the reason.
Of course she couldn't ask, Chang Ye's mouth was tighter than a clam shell.
"Princess, don't ask. The young master has told me that he must not reveal his whereabouts to the princess...Princess, the young master does not mean to hide it from you, but...it is not good for you to know too much about some things."
The little star was thoughtful.
What does it mean that Chu Li asked someone to hide her whereabouts?
It means that as long as she knows where the place is, she can guess some core issues.
Otherwise Chu Li wouldn't have kept it secret like this.
But... Tiansheng is so big, and as Tiansheng's prince, there seems to be no place he can't go to.
Could it be.
Is he not in Tiansheng?
Little Xingxing found that she still knew too little about Chu Li.
...the next day.
Chu Yiran came to Xingchen Mansion to eat hot pot.
When no one was around, Xiaoxing took the opportunity to ask about Chu Li.
"Second Emperor Brother?
Why do you suddenly ask about him? Doesn't the Second Emperor brother live here now? Just ask him. Why do you ask about me?"
Sudden.
She grabbed Little Xingxing's hand and leaned over, her eyes shining, "Don't tell me, I haven't seen the Second Emperor Brother in the past two days.
Sister-in-law, did you have a quarrel with the second emperor brother?
Sister-in-law, I am not bragging, there is no such outstanding man as my imperial brother in Tiansheng, so why don’t you stay with me, the second emperor brother, and stay with my imperial brother."
"..." Little Xingxing raised her finger and tapped her on the head, "I'm off topic. Answer my questions carefully. Don't talk about yes or no."
Chu Yiran pouted unhappily.
"Okay, okay, just ask."
"It's just a simple situation about your second emperor brother. Tell me what you know."
"oh."
Chu Yiran scratched his head and thought carefully, "Brother Erhuang, speaking of it, I have never met him a few times since we were young, so I don't know him well. To be honest, if I hadn't bumped into Erhuang here,
Brother Huang, my understanding of him still rests on his ability to control his wife."
"..." "The second emperor brother moved to Prince Li's Mansion when he was very young. I heard that when he left the palace, he took two old eunuchs and several old maids with him.
I once heard my mother sigh with emotion, saying that the two emperors' brother and his wife, Concubine Wan, were extremely beautiful, so beautiful, she was probably the kind that would astonish anyone in heaven.
Therefore, Concubine Wan was given the title of concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and she was once the most favored person in the harem."
"and after?"
"Under the great favor, Concubine Wan became pregnant soon. I heard that during her pregnancy, my father sent her delicacies to her palace every day. She was as nervous as she could be. My mother also said, look at my father's behavior.
If Concubine Wan gives birth to a son, the son may be more noble than the mother, so he will directly appoint the second emperor's brother as the crown prince."
"It's a pity that Concubine Wan was short-lived. She was injured when she gave birth to the second emperor brother, and she has been on the sickbed ever since.
Seeing that the father felt distressed, he put all the blame on the second emperor brother. In addition, the people serving the second emperor brother always died for one reason or another... The father felt that the second emperor brother had a bad life.
"
"Later on, Concubine Wan passed away due to illness, and my father became seriously ill due to sadness. I heard from my mother that when he was sick, he said that the second emperor brother was a lone star of evil, and that he was the one who killed Concubine Wan."
"After he recovered from his illness, my father completely ignored the second emperor brother. He was only a few years old at that time... Later, there were always dead people around him. Perhaps my father was worried that he would be unlucky in the palace, so he gave birth to him early.
He made him a king and moved him to the palace."
"..." Chu Yiran suddenly remembered something and said to Little Xingxing, "Sister-in-law, it's not that I have any prejudice against the second emperor brother. His life is really evil. He had several marriages, and all his fiancées died suddenly and mysteriously.
.
Everyone privately says that he is a wife-killer, so you'd better stay away from him.
Stay away from the Second Emperor Brother... and stay safe."
"..." After listening to Chu Yiran's words.
Some thoughts suddenly flashed through Little Xingxing's head.
The thought flashed so fast that she was about to catch it when she heard Chu Yiran's words, "Stay away from Chu Li to stay safe." The corner of her mouth twitched, and her thoughts were disrupted.
The important information in my head has also disappeared.
