Chapter 112 It Should Have Belonged to Me
"Lili...are you in love with the emperor's brother?"
The man's voice was suppressed, with an inexplicable pain.
Jiang Li looked up suddenly, not really knowing what this guy was going to do.
"Your Highness and I are husband and wife, we should live in harmony and express our affection to each other."
Li Junlin pursed his lips and struggled to speak after a long time.
"But we should be the ones who are in harmony and expressing our affection..."
"Your Highness! This is no joke!"
Jiang Li widened her eyes, eager to draw a line between herself and Li Junlin.
What's wrong with this man today? He has to accuse her of a crime too!
"If the prince summoned me to tell you something so outrageous, I will pretend I haven't heard anything and will take my leave."
"and many more!"
Li Junlin stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Li's sleeve, but the girl dodged it fiercely.
The man's face seemed to be filled with an unrelieved gloom, and his eyes were gloomy.
"Last time, I saw Lili lost an earring in the Imperial Garden. Coincidentally, the guards found an earring that matched the one on Lili's ear while on patrol."
As he spoke, the man looked at Jiang Li calmly with an eagle-like gaze, and the corners of his eyes rose wickedly.
When Jiang Li heard the word earrings, her body stiffened uncontrollably for a moment.
He actually found it... Where did he find it? He couldn't have found it...
Li Junlin took out the emerald earring wrapped in a handkerchief from his waist with great precision, his narrow and long phoenix eyes staring at her without blinking, not missing any reaction.
"Li Li, look, but this is it?"
Jiang Li restrained her emotions without a trace, and raised her red lips slightly, making it impossible to see any flaws.
"There's a tiny crack on my jade earring, from being accidentally dropped. The one on Your Highness's hand is flawless and must not be mine."
"I mentioned this to you last time in the Imperial Garden. This pair of earrings is very popular in the capital. Many young ladies from aristocratic families have bought them. I guess someone else accidentally lost them."
Jiang Li's tone was relaxed, without a trace of nervousness or panic.
"Is it……"
Li Junlin raised his eyebrows slightly, and the next second he carefully wrapped the earrings up again.
"If that's the case, then this earring probably doesn't belong to Lili. I'll continue to send people to look for it, and then I'll personally deliver it to Lili."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
Go ahead and look for her, she won’t recognize her even if you find her.
Before leaving, the man looked at her deeply again, with a strange arc at the corner of his mouth, which inexplicably made Jiang Li's hair stand on end, as if she was a prey locked by him.
Looking at the gate of confinement, Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. Among the four royal brothers, except for Li Youchuan whom she had met and Li Yian (the second prince) whom she had not met, the other two were all deep-minded people.
……
Teahouse,
It was unknown how many cups of tea Lin Qingtang had poured into his mouth.
It was clearly the two of them who asked her out, but they were both late! She had been waiting here for half an hour...
"Tangtang!"
The girl Yanba's face suddenly regained its radiance and she looked towards the source of the voice.
"Lili! Prince Chu, why did you two come together?"
The man looked gentle, and still had an elegant smile on his face.
"We just met downstairs and came up together."
"I see! Lili! Come, sit next to me."
Jiang Li walked towards her slowly, wearing a white gauze skirt with a light blue silk bow tied around her waist. Her dark hair was gently tied up with a Wei Ling hairpin inserted diagonally. Her skin was as crystal clear as jade and she was not wearing any makeup.
She has a delicate and small face, cherry lips and a beautiful nose, but the most beautiful thing about her is her almond-shaped eyes that always seem to be filled with water, pure yet with an irresistible charm.
Chu Changxun, who was sitting opposite her, was stunned unconsciously, as if no matter how many times he had seen her, he would always be obsessed with her beauty.
"Tangtang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get Prince Chu to come out and thank you."
Jiang Li smiled. Last time, Chu Changxun took out the extremely precious golden snake grass without saying a word and saved Li Jinyuan's life, but she still hasn't thanked him.
So after Li Junlin completely let down his guard, Jiang Li hurriedly contacted Lin Qingtang and asked her to ask Chu Changxun out.
Otherwise, if she invited them directly with her status and it was spread by someone with ulterior motives, it would not be good for them.
"What's there to thank me for? By the way, Lili, why haven't you come to play with me in so many days? And I heard from my father that the Third Prince hasn't attended court in a long time..."
Lin Qingtang frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.
Being stuck in the palace for so many days is not Jiang Li's nature.
Similarly, Chu Changxun also looked at her without blinking, he was also curious about her answer.
And who was she going to give the golden snake grass to that day?
Jiang Li didn't intend to hide it from them, but she wasn't completely silent either.
After all, the matter of the golden snake grass was not something she could just brush aside if she wanted to.
Qi Yu looked so anxious that day, and Chu Changxun was so smart, he probably guessed a lot.
The girl took a sip of tea and then evasively told them about how she and Li Jinyuan were murdered in the Imperial Garden.
But she did not tell anyone about the part involving Concubine Rou and Li Junlin, and just told them to treat it as an ordinary assassination.
"So the golden snake grass that night was for the prince?"
"Well, he was poisoned by the scorpion tail poison, and only the golden snake grass can cure it."
Lin Qingtang listened with her mouth wide open the whole time. Even though she loved exciting things, this incident still made her feel a little scared.
Such a strong poison, if Lili hadn't gone to find Chu Changxun, perhaps the Third Prince would have died at this moment...
"Don't make this matter public. After all, if the prince is murdered, some people in the court might take advantage of it, and it would be bad if it causes unrest."
"Of course. We are not allowed to discuss matters of the imperial court. For now, let's just pretend we didn't hear anything."
Chu Changxun spoke lightly, and Lin Qingtang nodded.
But after a moment, Lin Qingtang blinked his curious big eyes a few more times.
"By the way, Lili, aren't you familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics? How do you know about these pharmacological principles?"
"Well..."
"I am also very curious."
The man opposite also spoke lightly. Jiang Li looked at Chu Changxun who was staring at her without blinking, and felt a headache.
How come he has become like Tangtang, so curious...
The girl had no choice but to use the same excuse she had used to fool Li Jinyuan again. Lin Qingtang believed it, but Chu Changxun was not so easy to fool.
"The mentor Lili mentioned is from Dongli? Coincidentally, I'm also from Dongli. I'm really curious, what's the name of this old man with superb medical skills that Lili mentioned?"
