Chapter 456 Fell asleep
Li Hongting moved his body and put out his hand to rub her temple.
"Is this more comfortable?"
"Yeah, I feel better now."
"What is this modern history you just mentioned?"
Li Hongting tried to continue the previous topic, and he had a bold guess.
"I don't want to talk. I want to sleep."
As she spoke, she accidentally fell asleep with her head leaning against Li Hongting.
Li Hongting looked at Lu Shian who was leaning on his shoulder and sighed helplessly.
It seems I have to find an opportunity to ask.
Is the Qing Dynasty a later dynasty?
When they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Li Hongting saw that Lu Shian was really asleep. Knowing that it was impossible to get anything out of her, he sent her back to her room.
Then he called Shen Cuo to the study.
"Do you know why I asked my father for you today?"
"I guessed it."
Li Hongting nodded: "I know you are a smart person, so I might as well explain it to you today. I am a person who values talents, and you are the talent that I have set my sights on. As long as you are willing to be loyal to me wholeheartedly, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
Shen Cuo lowered his head slightly, appearing very respectful.
Li Hongting uttered three words from his thin lips: "Master Shen."
Shen Cuo's eyelids twitched slightly. He was surprised that Li Hongting knew that he was the leader of the Susha Sect.
Seeing that Shen Cuo remained calm, Li Hongting continued, "How is it?"
Shen Cuo clasped his fists and said solemnly: "Since the prince has made it clear, I will also speak out."
"The current Susha Sect is different from before. I believe the Crown Prince is aware of this. I did have a purpose for appearing at the Imperial Banquet today."
Li Hongting smiled. He was afraid that Shen Cuo would approach his father with a purpose, so he asked for him to come over.
Shen Cuo continued, "I believe the prince should already know my identity. I just want to find out the secret of my mother's death. If the prince can help me find it, I am willing to be loyal to him."
If Shen Cuo directly said that he was loyal to the prince, the prince would certainly not believe it given his character, but if he put forward conditions, his credibility would be greatly increased.
Sure enough, Li Hongting's eyes changed after hearing his words: "Okay, I promise to help you investigate your mother's death."
"Then Shen Cuo would like to thank the prince first."
"You're welcome. You've saved my life before."
"Even if I don't save the prince, he will be safe."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Shen Cuo left Li Hongting's study.
After Shen Cuo left, Li Hongting stood in the study and thought for a long time.
He subconsciously called out "Cheng An".
When no one answered, he remembered that Cheng An and Yong Chang went to Huainan City.
Considering they have been gone for some time, there should be some news. Why is there no news yet?
Li Hongting couldn't help but frown...
Could it be that something happened?
After leaving the study, Li Hongting walked towards the backyard. He looked at Shi'an's courtyard and walked towards Qin Jingzhi.
Qin Jingzhi came back late and was eating alone at the moment.
Actually, there is nothing wrong with eating alone. She used to eat alone, but she didn’t know why it felt so lonely tonight, so lonely that she had no appetite.
She forced herself to eat a bite of the vegetables, but found them tasteless, so she put down her chopsticks.
"Princess, please eat a little."
Qin Jingzhi shook his head: "I don't have much appetite today."
"It's because of the prince and the concubine."
Before Jin'er could finish her words, Qin Jingzhi glared at her fiercely, scaring her into silence.
"You think you can discuss the master's affairs? I think you have lived enough."
Jin'er lowered her head: "I feel sorry for the Crown Princess. Today, the Crown Prince just swaggered away with the concubine in his arms, not caring about you at all. This is really..."
"What is the truth? What about the Crown Princess? What about the concubine? These are all matters of the master. It is not your turn as a servant to make irresponsible remarks. Jin'er, I will tell you again today. Remember your identity. If you continue to say these nonsense, I will send you out of the house."
"Please spare me, young lady. I know I was wrong, and I will never do it again."
Hearing Jin'er crying and begging for mercy, Qin Jingzhi only felt more annoyed.
"Okay, go down first. I want to be alone for a while."
Qin Jingzhi looked at the table full of dishes and just let out an imperceptible sigh.
She really has no appetite.
"Please take all the food away."
"What, no appetite?"
Li Hongting's voice suddenly sounded from behind her, scaring Qin Jingzhi.
"I greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Hongting stepped forward and helped her up: "I am leaving with my concubine today. Are you angry if I leave you alone?"
"I dare not. The prince was afraid that Sister Shi'an would drink too much and offend others with her words, so he took her away first. I understand."
Li Hongting nodded: "That girl has always been casual, I really don't know what she will do after drinking."
Qin Jingzhi felt uncomfortable when she heard Li Hongting address her so intimately. She forced a smile and said, "Why did the prince come to my side? Sister Shi'an needs someone to take care of her right now. You should be over there."
"I was worried about you, so I came to check on you."
"I am fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."
Li Hongting looked at the untouched dishes on the table and said, "Is this what you said was good?"
"I ate a little more at the imperial banquet, so I'm not hungry now."
"Oh, really? I haven't eaten yet. Do you want to eat something with me?"
Li Hongting sat down after saying that, and Qin Jingzhi immediately ordered the palace maid to bring new bowls and chopsticks.
With Li Hongting's company, Qin Jingzhi ate some more.
At night, Li Hongting naturally stayed with Qin Jingzhi.
Lu Shian didn't wake up until the next morning.
Seeing Lu Shian wake up, Lu'er cried out in pain: "My dear Miss, you finally woke up. I was so scared when I saw you yesterday."
Lu Shian slept very comfortably, and when she saw Lu'er with a sad face, she teased her.
"Hey, what's the matter that can make our Lu'er so nervous? Tell me quickly."
"You have no memory of what happened at the imperial banquet yesterday?"
Lu Shian tilted his head and thought for a while.
"Imperial Banquet..."
She quarreled with Jing Youran, Lord Wei Feng stood up for her, Shen Cuo danced with the sword, and then...
Her eyes were as big as cow eyes: "Shen Cuo, is Shen Cuo the prince's man now?"
Lu Er nodded: "Yesterday the prince did ask the emperor for Shen Cuo, and the emperor did give him to the prince."
Lu Shian, who was cheerful just a second ago, now had a bitter face.
"No, there's nothing going on between him and me, there's nothing for me to worry about."
Lu Er sighed helplessly and reminded: "You drank too much yesterday, and the prince carried you back. Do you remember it?"
Lu Shian thought hard for a long time and had some impression, but it was not clear.
