Chapter 117 Miss, you are not dead. I have been looking for you for a long time.
"Red Swallow Nation?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyelids and looked at him:
"who?"
"They said they were merchants, but they held a jade pendant in their hands and said they were visiting Your Highness on behalf of an old friend of Your Highness."
As he spoke, Feng Xin handed the jade pendant to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yun recognized it at a glance; it was his senior brother's jade pendant.
His eyes moved slightly and he stood up.
Before leaving, he remembered what the maid said about Lin Zhaoyue not having had a single drop of water since she woke up, so he had someone bring her meal to the bedroom and said to her:
"Go back and eat. I'll be here later."
Do you still need to check whether she has eaten?
Lin Zhaoyue felt that Xiao Yun was simply bored.
But she didn't say anything. He wouldn't listen no matter what she said, and she was too lazy to say anything.
He nodded, and then walked out of the study without looking back.
Looking at Lin Zhaoyue's back, Xiao Yan felt annoyed again.
He felt annoyed when she kept chattering around him, and now that she stopped talking, he felt even more annoyed.
Xiao Yan frowned and walked towards the reception room.
In the drawing room.
Li Rongqing saw Xiao Yin wearing a golden dragon robe from afar.
He has long brow ridges, strong and three-dimensional facial features, a face like beautiful jade, and is extremely handsome.
Below the eyebrows are a pair of phoenix eyes as deep as a pool, hiding clouds and mist, and bottomless.
The man has an upright posture, a noble temperament and a hint of domineering imperial air.
As she walked, the jade pendant around her waist made a faint crisp sound.
Li Rongqing has traveled all over the country for many years and can tell a lot about people just by their faces.
No wonder her nephew always praised his junior fellow apprentice for his amazing talent and extraordinary appearance.
She thought it was an exaggeration at the time, but now that she saw it, those words seemed to be used specifically to describe him.
Li Rongqing took the lead and stood up, saluting:
"I, Li Rongqing, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
When Xiao Yan was in Huguo Temple, he heard his senior brother mention the three words "Li Rongqing" more than ten times.
In his senior brother's heart, this aunt is the freest woman in the world.
She is not bound by worldly matters, not confined to the backyard, and not confined to taking care of her husband and children.
He began traveling at the age of sixteen, visiting all over the country and ten neighboring countries.
When he returned to Chiyan Kingdom, his aunt was still traveling.
When I left, I asked him to look after Li Rongqing if he ever came to the capital.
Now when Xiao Yun looked at Li Rongqing, he found that she did not have the carefree and unrestrained manner of a wandering wanderer, but rather the profoundness that came from years of being involved in officialdom and power that he was familiar with.
If what senior brother said is true, then Li Rongqing is probably not just traveling.
"You are the elder, no need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Rongqing straightened up and a perfect smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"You are my aunt, so I will follow my brother and call you aunt. I don't know that I am being disrespectful since you have come from so far away."
"No, I came to visit you unexpectedly. I hope you won't offend Your Highness."
After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Li Rongqing got straight to the point:
"I came here this time, firstly, to see you on behalf of your senior brother, and secondly, I want to discuss a deal with His Highness."
This time when coming to Anguo, Li Rongqing's most important task was to find the ninth prince.
Now that the Ninth Prince has been found, she will bring him back to the country as quickly as possible.
But since the Ninth Prince didn't want to, and the internal strife in Chiyan was serious at the moment, the Queen said that they could wait until the princes fought to the end and went back after all five were injured.
If they want to take root in Anguo, they need to gain a foothold in the capital.
The safest way is to cooperate with the prince.
"trade?"
Xiao Yun narrowed his narrow and long phoenix eyes slightly, with a hint of scrutiny.
Li Rongqing nodded and looked at the people around him.
Xiao Wei waved his hand and asked the others to go out first.
The people who came with Li Rongqing also followed him out.
Chen Hu followed the maid outside, glanced at the tall woman behind him, and said:
"This East Palace is really magnificent. Can you take us to have a look?"
"Sir, please come with me."
Whenever there were guests visiting the East Palace, they would be taken to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
"Good work."
Chen Hu and his companions followed the maid into the garden.
After passing through an archway, a scene of colorful flowers comes into view.
Flowers of various colors compete with each other in beauty.
Red as fire, pink as clouds, white as snow, intertwined.
"so beautiful!"
The girl wearing the wolf tooth pendant spoke with joy in her eyes.
The maid smiled, without any disdain or disgust on her face, and said calmly:
"Every flower here has been carefully cultivated and grows better than those outside. You can sit in the pavilion and admire them."
When they arrived at the pavilion, the maid brought some fruits, snacks and tea.
After they sat in the pavilion for a while, the girl took the tall woman to the toilet on the pretext of going to the toilet.
After leaving the pavilion, the girl with the wolf tooth pendant looked at the tall woman and said:
"Sir, please go and come back quickly."
The man nodded and left the toilet...
……
When Lin Zhaoyue arrived at the bedroom, the kitchen had already delivered the food.
All are vegetarian.
The kitchen made lean meat porridge this morning. When she saw the minced meat, she was reminded of the blood all over the floor in the dungeon last night, and she wanted to vomit.
Total loss of appetite.
These should have been rearranged by Xiao Yan.
There was no expression on Lin Zhaoyue's face. She remembered that Xiao Yan said he would come over later. She sat at the dining table and picked up the bamboo shoots on the table with chopsticks.
The door was opened and Lin Zhaoyue caught a glimpse of a pink dress out of the corner of her eye.
She didn't pay attention and thought it was the maid Yuanyuan.
I took a few bites of the bamboo shoots before I realized something was wrong.
Yuanyuan's clothes today are orange-red.
At this moment, a faint and magnetic young voice sounded in my ears:
"Miss, you are really not dead. I have been looking for you for a long time."
This sound...
Lin Zhaoyue raised her head, her eyes suddenly widened inch by inch, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.
The tall and graceful woman in front of me is actually... Chu Bai!!!
