Chapter 55 When Junior Sister Becomes Princess
Li Qingfeng went out to wander around the streets.
Streets and alleys are the places where information is most circulated, and it is very easy to ask, just have money.
Things like silver can be exchanged directly in the money house with spirit stones, and Li Qingfeng still has no shortage of them.
On the side of the road, he found a middle-aged woman who was sweeping the floor and stepped forward and asked, "Hello, aunt, I want to ask when did the severe drought in Su Lan start?"
The aunt looked up and looked, "Who came from other places?"
Li Qingfeng took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and smiled, "Yes, please tell me carefully."
The woman's eyes shone instantly. She threw down the broom in her hand and held up the silver. At this critical moment, silver is life, you can buy water!
"Young master sits inside, I'll talk to you in detail right away!"
"This severe drought started a year ago. There was no rain for a whole year. Oh, I really can't live this day! The key point is that only Su Lan does not rain, and other places are normal, so many people sell the city's housing industry and go elsewhere to make a living."
Li Qingfeng thought for a moment and continued to ask: "Did the aunt hear about the bizarre disappearance incident in the palace?"
“Some, some!”
The aunt licked her dry lips and said, "It was about a year ago that an empress went to the palace to visit her sister. She stayed for one night and disappeared the next morning!
It is said that she was the elder sister of a second-rank official. She was in a big trouble at that time. The adult wanted to search the palace, but was suppressed by the emperor."
"But how could he please? He even openly questioned the emperor in the court, and was finally demoted to the border. There was no news again. Many people said he was dead."
"Later, the sister in her palace also encountered the same situation. The emperor's own beloved concubine did not escape. We all suspect that it was haunted!"
Li Qingfeng asked again: "When did those women in the palace disappear? Do they have something in common?"
“It seems...it’s all night.”
The aunt said a lot, and poured two cups of tea in the middle of the way, and put it enthusiastically in front of Li Qingfeng, "Young master, please have tea."
Li Qingfeng took the tea and shook it on his lips twice, glanced at the aunt's nervous and unnatural gaze, and his hand holding the teacup fell down again.
"Young master, why don't you drink?"
Li Qingfeng smiled and asked back: "You have put medicine in the tea, how can I drink it?"
After all, he is an immortal cultivator in the spiritual realm. He can still perceive it by touching and touching his hands and feet quietly. Even if he doesn't, he will not easily drink tea made by others.
Bang! The woman's legs became weak and she knelt on the ground on the spot.
"I'm wrong, Master, I'm wrong! I shouldn't be obsessed with money. Master, you don't remember villains!"
I was so scared that I even changed my name.
There are indeed medicines and drugs in the tea.
Ordinary people will fall asleep in a daze after drinking. The woman is influenced by greed and wants to get more money from Li Qingfeng.
"Answer my question, how could you, an ordinary woman, have this medicine?"
Li Qingfeng's face remained unchanged. His pattern was not small enough to attack mortals. Everyone had greed in their hearts, but the greed of this woman was magnified by the current difficult environment.
"Hey... it's all like this now. I'm trying to raise money to move out of Su Lan to live in another place. I really can't stay here."
"Can you rush to raise money to make others rob? This is the imperial capital, and the law does not care about it?"
"The law really doesn't care..."
The woman explained in fear: "The emperor doesn't want to pay attention to the common people at all. She just wants to live a comfortable life. Since the law started half a year ago, there are all robberies on the street."
As the junior sister said, the King of Chu was completely rotten.
The drought is almost the same as the time when a woman disappeared in the palace is missing. Most of the two are related. As for what role did the King of Chu play here? It is necessary to further explore.
"Master, that's all I know."
"Okay." Li Qing stood up and put on a bad face. "I won't pursue this tea matter. I hope no third person knows about today's affairs."
"Keep confidential, must be confidential!"
The sun sets in the west, and Li Qingfeng returns to the small courtyard by the river.
It's time to ask the junior sister to exchange information and make plans for the next action.
Li Qingfeng walked to Chu Wanqing's room and heard a rustling sound inside. He pushed the door directly: "Junior sister, I'm in."
"Ah!" The girl screamed.
Li Qingfeng was stunned on the spot.
However, he did not encounter any scene that was not suitable for children, but because... the junior sister changed her clothes.
Chu Wanqing in front of her was not wearing the pure white disciple uniform of Shushan, but replaced it with a luxurious red long skirt. The golden silk on the skirt was carved into patterns, with clear layers and dazzling.
Looking up, the red lips are beautiful and charming, the face is like precious jade porcelain, and the eyes are pink, highlighting the charm of a woman while not losing the youth of a girl. There are lotus-shaped flowers on the eyebrows, and a phoenix crown on the head. A Baochai inlaid with red jade is tied on the bun, and soft black hair falls down......
It looks good, but can only be described as good-looking! It perfectly conforms to the image of the princess that Li Qingfeng read in the storybook, and even has it even surpassed it.
This is nothing more than a beautiful country.
If the junior brothers in Shushan had seen Chu Wanqing dressed like this princess, I wonder if they would have a demon of innocence that would not be able to obtain.
"I... I just came back and had nothing to do, so I tried my previous clothes." Chu Wanqing bit her lips shyly, lowered her eyes and asked softly, "How?"
“…it’s pretty.”
Li Qingfeng dared not praise him too much, and it would be bad if he accidentally teases his junior sister.
On the way to Su Lan, will the Princess of Dragon Palace and Princess of Chu spark any sparks?
"Hmph, so plain."
Chu Wanqing pouted and hugged her arms, "Talk to say that, senior brother, have you ever seen Xiaoyu look like?"
"I've seen it..."
Li Qingfeng didn't know why his junior sister suddenly asked this question. In fact, this is the simple comparison psychology of women.
Chu Wanqing is quite confident about her appearance. She thought that you, Li Qingfeng, have a high vision. If you want you to praise you for a few words, she said, "What's her appearance?"
Send a question!?
Li Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Junior sister and Xiaoyu are like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, each with their own strengths, no distinction between the top and bottom."
The cultural man version is perfunctory.
"Tsk~"
Li Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and did not remind her junior sister that she was less in favor of her, so this answer was considered a passing level.
"Okay, let's talk about the news we have received." Chu Wanqing took off the luxurious phoenix crown on her head and muttered, "Actually, this one is worn very heavily, and I don't like it very much."
Li Qingfeng set up a soundproof barrier, found a chair and sat down and said, "Sister sister, tell me first, how will you gain today."
"Today I asked many people who worked in the palace. Sure enough, the court was completely decayed. The King of Chu did not ask about political affairs, and even ignored the missing women in the palace. He also prohibited others from searching. Many ministers dared not speak out."
"It's almost the same as what I've learned, and even the law is useless." Li Qingfeng paused, "There is a saying I don't know if it's to say it or not..."
Chu Wanqing immediately understood, "Senior Brother means that the King of Chu is actually the promoter of this matter? It's okay, I have no affection for him."
"That's right."
Li Qingfeng nodded and continued, "When you returned to the palace, you thought the King of Chu would be furious, but he welcomed you warmly and even invited all officials to welcome you. Isn't this trying to keep you and cheat your daughter?"
Hearing this, Chu Wanqing's face remained calm.
After a moment of silence, he said, "It makes sense. Most of the missing people in this palace are his own concubines and beauties. As far as I know, this man is extremely lustful, how could he allow such a thing to happen?"
She really didn't have any intention of helping the King of Chu, and she was simply inferring according to logic.
"What if there is something he values more than beauty?"
"Right? Wealth?" Chu Wanqing shook her head with a puzzled look on her face, "He is already the Emperor of Humanity and will not lack these, but what else can be attractive to him except these?"
Li Qingfeng crossed his hands and held his chin, and there seemed to be light burning in his eyes, which was the excitement that was close to the truth.
"For example... immortality?"
