Lin Que and Gu Chi were both in the palace, so they received the news a little late.

After reading the note sent from the dovecote, Lin casually gave it to Gu Chi. Gu Chi took a look at it and said, "I'll go take a look." He turned around and left the palace, heading to Mingyue Temple.

Lin Que lamented that his younger brother was still not stable enough, so he sent someone to inform Princess Zhaoming and asked her to visit Princess Qinyang in Shifeng Garden.

The grandson of Princess Qinyang is the son of the Minister of Dali Temple who accidentally beat someone to death because of playing the bandit card last summer.

Those who can hang out with the children of such officials are naturally not ordinary people. The murderer and the murdered are of similar family backgrounds, and they are both related to the royal family. In addition, the father and mother of the murdered are willing to fight for it at all costs, and finally they are killed.

Let the grandson of Princess Qinyang pay with his life.

From then on, Princess Qinyang stayed on her sick bed and was raised in Shifeng Garden.

The eldest princess Zhaoming first went to Shifengyuan to visit her doctor, and then went back to Mingyue Nunnery to have a look. Anyway, everyone in the capital knew that she believed in Buddhism, and she heard that there was a nunnery nearby and it was reasonable to go there and pay her respects.

At that time, the eldest princess Zhaoming brought Gu Chi back, and told the public that Gu Chi was going to pick her up, and they went with her to Mingyue Temple. They happened to bump into Li Zhi who was returning home today, and she happened to find that Li Zhi was deliberately murdered by a servant.

The two families were in-laws, so it was reasonable to send the frightened Li Zhi back to the Li family.

Later, I fabricated several rumors that Gu Chi fell in love with the second girl of the Li family at first sight, so that he would come to propose marriage in the future.

Lin Que was making a lot of calculations when he suddenly received news from the palace, saying that his princess went to Mingyue Temple as soon as she learned about the situation.

Lin Que had just said that Gu Chi was unsteady, but now he didn't show any hesitation and immediately left the palace.

…

In Mingyue Temple, Feixing dragged the tied nanny out.

Li Mu and Li Zhi were the only two people left in the room, sitting by the bed.

Li Zhi cried a lot, but he couldn't cheer up like before. Instead, he leaned on Li Mu's shoulder, feeling very listless.

Li Mu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only accompany her quietly. He stayed with her for a long time without getting tired of it, let alone urging her, until there was movement from the window, Li Mu turned his head suddenly, and Li Zhi looked over like a frightened bird.

, they saw Gu Chi coming in through the window, but he did not approach immediately after he stood still.

Li Zhi glanced at Li Mu in panic, and saw that Li Mu was expressionless and at a loss. He was hesitating and unable to say a complete sentence.

Li Mu: "..."

Shall I leave?

Gu Chi: "Can I trouble my sister-in-law and let me have a conversation with Qiong Shi?"

Okay, I'm leaving.

Li Mu stood up, took the bow and arrows he had brought, and went out, closing the door for them.

Feixing was guarding outside. Li Mu walked to the shade of a tree not far from the door and checked the bow that she had thrown out as a throwing weapon to hit someone in a hurry. She was relieved to make sure that it was not damaged.

I don't know how long he waited, but Li Mu changed from standing to squatting. He was really bored, so he used arrows to make patterns on the ground and picked up a stone to play hopscotch.

After only two jumps, the door opened and Gu Chi was nowhere to be seen. Li Zhi cheered up and saw clearly what Li Mu was doing. She recalled that at the end of the conversation, she had resolved her depression and exchanged words with Gu Chi.

The atmosphere was tense as she expressed her affection. Gu Chi wanted to lower his head and kiss her, but was disturbed by the sound of jumping outside the house.

Thinking of Gu Chi knocking his forehead on his shoulder in frustration, Li Zhi smiled and smiled.

Li Mu saw Li Zhi smiling and finally put his heart back in his stomach.

Afterwards, Li Mu accompanied Li Zhi to pack his luggage. When Li Zhi changed out of his monk's clothes and combed his hair again, Li Mu went out to look for Feixing. He saw Feixing replying to Princess Zhaoming, with the Li family's maid beside him.

Kneeling on the ground, there was the tied nanny beside him.

Princess Zhaoming saw Li Mu and strode over, as if she just knew what happened, and asked her if she was injured.

Li Mu shook his head.

Princess Zhaoming: "It's okay. I happened to be visiting Princess Qinyang nearby. I also heard that there is a Mingyue Nunnery here, so I came to take a look. Who knew that your second sister lived here, and she also encountered a troublesome slave master?

, Fortunately, you came to pick her up on a whim, and went back to your parents' home to see the old lady, and it was a coincidence that you saved her life, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

The eldest princess Zhaoming revealed the script to Li Mu in a few moments, and also told the ins and outs to others present. Li Mu took the script blankly and took the eldest princess Zhaoming in to see Li Zhi.

Li Zhi didn't expect the eldest princess to come, so he hurriedly saluted and was helped. When he left, he was pulled into the same carriage by the eldest princess Zhaoming.

Next to the carriage at the eldest princess's residence, Gu Chi was riding a horse. He kept his face concealed and held the reins tightly in his hands, restraining himself from letting his eyes linger on Li Zhi.

It's a pity that he couldn't hold on until Li Zhi got into the carriage, because when Li Zhi got into the carriage, he subconsciously worried that Li Zhi would fall if he stepped unsteadily. He couldn't control his eyes and looked over, waiting for Li Zhi to stand firm before getting into the carriage.

, the two people inadvertently looked at each other, and after a slight entanglement, they quickly pulled away, pressing each other, pretending, as if it was the first time they met without those many lingering nights.

The eldest princess Zhaoming wanted to take Li Mu into her carriage, but her eldest son came to take his wife back in person. She couldn't let her son go and relax in front of so many people, so she just stayed with Li Zhi.

car.

So on the way back, the carriage from the eldest princess's palace was in the front, escorted by Gu Chi on horseback, the carriage from Prince Yan's palace was in the middle, with Li Mu and Lin Que together, and finally the carriage from the Li family came to pick up Li Zhi.

In the car at the eldest princess's residence, Zhaoming and Li Zhi were talking and had a preliminary understanding of each other.

In the car at Prince Yan's Mansion, Li Mu banged his head into Lin Que's arms. All he could think about was: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, how handsome he is when he picks up the bow and arrow and goes out. Later, he only knows how to hit people with the bow.

How stupid!!!

Lin Que was full of words to persuade Li Mu not to take such a risk next time, but they all turned into comfort. He brainwashed Li Mu and said that she was very brave. What happened to smashing the bow? She was doing it to save people and was more righteous. What? There was someone protecting her secretly.

Li Zhi doesn't need her? Who can say for sure what didn't happen? What if something happens, anyway, Li Weixi is the most powerful.

Li Mu blushed at the praise and raised his hand to cover his mouth before making him stop.

The carriage drove all the way to Li's house, and the streets it passed became more and more prosperous. When it stopped at the door of Li's house, a servant of Li's family had already run back to inform the old lady about the accident that happened in the nunnery.

The old lady was too shrewd to guess who gave the instruction. Moreover, she had already seen her second son's regretful thoughts. The other party also came to her to beg her, hoping that she would put aside her old face and come forward to object, but she did not agree. After all,

This matter has already been guaranteed, and it cannot be done at the expense of face. If it is not guaranteed, their whole family will have to pay for it.

But she didn't expect that her second son could be so cruel. She immediately sent someone to call him back from outside, saying that if he refused to come back, she would pack her things and go back to her hometown early tomorrow morning. If mother and son did not see each other in the future, she would

Never gave birth to him.

When the eldest princess Zhaoming and Li Zhi stepped into the door of Li's house, the old lady who came in a hurry did not even bother to salute the eldest princess. She hugged Li Zhi with a cane and cried, which stunned Li Zhi who had already calmed down.

Zhi also made me cry.

The three ladies who came with them were trying to persuade her. Li Zhi was afraid that the old lady's body would not be able to hold on anymore. They cried and tried to persuade her. Finally, they calmed down the old lady. They bowed to Princess Zhaoming and asked someone to follow them to the backyard.

Li Tingwu, Li Mu's third brother, and Li Zhi's sixth brother, Li Shu, who were the only two at home, were left to entertain Lin Que and Gu Chi.

Li Tingwu has good social skills. In the early years, he was still afraid of Lin Que, but now he has become accustomed to his well-established brother-in-law, and can even strike up a conversation with the taciturn Gu Chi.

Li Shu is Li Zhi's younger brother. Gu Chi deliberately kept him cool. After several conversations, he found that although Li Shu was shy, he was quite knowledgeable and cared about Li Zhi. It seemed that it was because his parents were unreliable.

Therefore, my sister, who is more affectionate and gentle, was always scolded for being stupid even when he was young and did not meet a good husband. It was her patient guidance that prevented him from losing interest in reading.

Fortunately, no one told him what happened to Li Zhi. The old lady cried hard. He and the other three ladies thought that the old lady felt sorry for Li Zhi after living in the nunnery for so long. He also felt sorry for him, so there was no doubt that there was something wrong.

He, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sit down and entertain guests properly right now.

The atmosphere was quite harmonious when the four of them got along. It wasn't until Li Zhi's biological father and Li Mu's biological father, Li Wendao, appeared that the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

…

"The eldest son is back too?" In the backyard, the old lady's eyelids jumped when she heard that her eldest son had returned home with her second son.

Fortunately, nothing scary happened before. Princess Zhaoming waited for the old lady to send all three daughters-in-law away, and asked Li Mu to accompany Li Zhi to pack the things brought back from Mingyue Temple, and spoke to the old lady alone.

talk.

Afraid of something unexpected happening to Li Zhi again, the old lady let Li Zhi live in her courtyard and sleep in the east room where Li Mu once slept.

Li Zhi didn't bring much back, so when they were accompanying the old lady, they asked Feixing and another maid to pack it up.

Li Zhi pulled Li Mu to the dressing table and combed her messy hair again. While combing it, he also thanked Li Mu for coming to save her.

Li Mu shook her head. She wanted to tell Li Zhi, "You will be fine even if I don't come."

Before she could say anything, Li Zhi pressed her head and told her not to move, and said: "I know, he... Achi told me that there are people hiding in the nunnery who are here to protect me.

But even so, you still came, didn't you? You feel sorry for me, I know."

Li Mu thought about it and felt that her second sister was an angel and would not accept any rebuttal.

After combing her hair, the eldest princess called someone to call her. She got up, said goodbye to the old lady, and left with the eldest princess.

Lin Que and Gu Chi had been waiting outside.

Gu Chi had no expression, but Lin was in a good mood.

On the carriage, Li Mu asked Lin Que why he was so happy, but Lin Que said: "Your father returned home with your second uncle. I asked Achi to find an excuse to take your third brother and sixth brother away, and tell them about your secret letter."

Speak carefully."

Li Mu: "Ah?"

Lin Que: "I tell your father, even if you didn't steal the letter back then, he and Wen Bingren would not have succeeded in participating in the assassination, because I already knew their plan, and if he participated in it, the Li family would only end up with the second

Wen family."

"Your second uncle almost quarreled with your father, but because I was still here, he endured it. I thought there would be more excitement later." After Lin Que finished speaking, he remembered that Li Wendao was Li Mu's biological father after all, so he suppressed his smile and acted cautiously.

He asked: "Isn't it bad for me to do this?"

Li Mu shook his head and said to Lin Que like Lin Que praised her: "You did very well, very well."
