Chapter 256 Snow on the shoulders
Chen Baiyu quickly covered the box with a look of worry on his face again.
"It's too dangerous where the princess got involved in this thing."
"rest assured."
Shangguan Li showed a soothing smile.
"I have a good attitude, so I will take this box back. Seeing Brother Chen like this, I'm afraid he's been sleeping for a long time. Go and rest quickly."
"no!"
Chen Baiyu's attitude suddenly became tough and reached out to hold the exquisitely shaped box. Shangguan Li glanced at him in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He also realized that his attitude was a little inappropriate. He lowered his head slightly, and felt a little hot on his face.
"Ahem, I've been studying this thing for two months. Although this flower is easy to feed, I have only succeeded in growing into such a formed flower."
Shangguan Li understood what he meant, pinched his chin, and hesitated.
"Brother Chen wants to keep this flower for the time being? But if there is danger, I won't..."
"fine."
Chen Baiyu finally raised his head, his face returned to normal, and he smiled.
"I have studied this aspect in depth."
Shangguan Li knew that what he was talking about was the fact, and although he knew that this was the most suitable arrangement at the moment. But this thing always gave her a bad feeling. If Chen Baiyu encountered something unexpected...
She said her concerns, and then she saw Chen Baiyu's already bright eyes flashing like stars, and he smiled shyly.
"Thank you for your concern, let's do it. I'll put it in Thirteen Fragrance. When the princess is worried, you can come and take a look at it at any time."
Shangguan Li thought for a moment and felt that such an arrangement was acceptable, so he nodded.
"Thank you, don't take any further action now. Let's talk about it when I... have some clues."
After the matter came to an end, Shangguan Li was kept by Chen Baiyu for lunch.
If he hadn't been tiring up the road and had not been sleeping for several nights, he would have even wanted to take Shangguan Li to the street.
Shangguan Li saw his compulsion, smiled bitterly and rejected his unrealistic proposal, leaving behind a certain promise to have the opportunity in the future, which made Chen Baiyu go to bed with peace of mind. After Thirteen Xiang came out, Shangguan Li walked on the crowded street, exhaled the turbid breath in her heart, and the heat turned into a stream of white smoke, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
There was one thing she had been pressing on her mind before and she didn't think about it. There were always two hands behind the Prime Minister's Mansion in her eyes.
One is just the one around Feng Sichen, that is, the power behind Shangguan Xun, Lan You.
But in the Prime Minister's Mansion nine years ago, was it also Lan You who killed Qi Yi and called the "master" by Zhang Yuanniang?
If so, why did Lan You, who is Feng Sichen's minion, cross over Shangguan Xun and go to help one of his concubines, even kill Qi Yi?
If not, how did the pattern on Zhang Yuanniang's box exactly the same as the formation at the former site of Aruowa, and where did the mysterious poisonous fragrance on her body, and the soil that I don't know what it is now come from?
After abandoning all kinds of unreliable speculations.
Judging from the current situation, there are either forces other than Lan You, or even Lan You are not alone. The one who came to kill her and the one who killed Qi Yi was made by different people inside Lan You.
Shangguan Li paced slowly, and it seemed that the deal with Feng Sibei had to be implemented faster.
In Jingtang, even though Feng Sibei was reluctant, he finally agreed to Shangguan Li's request.
As she said, in fact, there is no reason why Feng Sibei does not believe Shangguan Li. The Prime Minister's Mansion and Feng Sichen's attitude towards her can be seen by anyone with eyes.
She really didn't have to cover up, so it would be better to say that it would be better for her to attack Feng Sibei. Because once he was involved, what would the emperor think?
He would think that Feng Sibei targeted Shangguan Xun because he was not in the way of dealing with Feng Sichen, and would think of party disputes. At that time, he would steal chickens and lose rice if he was not careful.
So Shangguan Li was a little surprised that Feng Sibei did not agree to her request immediately. In fact, she didn't even know that Feng Sibei hesitated for nothing else, but just didn't like the feeling that things were not under her control.
But even if she knew, she would only smile. She has seen many ambitious people, and it is not uncommon for Feng Sibei to be like this.
She only cares about one thing: now she has the initiative in her own hands.
So no matter what secrets are in the Prime Minister's Mansion, just turn over the entire place and look at it?
Shangguan Li was thinking about his thoughts, and as he walked, he suddenly found that the snow above his head had stopped.
She looked up in shock and saw a strange and familiar face.
It is said that it is strange because she has never really seen this face in full.
The man's face is clearly outlined, and every line from his temples to his jaw is too perfect. His eye sockets are deep, his eyebrows are like a knife cut, and there are familiar dark eyes embedded underneath.
The high nose bridge casts a little shadow on the side, reflecting the slightly raised thin lips, snowflakes fall on the corners of his eyes, and the light and shadow are stacked, making him look a little more unrealistic.
Shangguan Li was stunned for a moment before muttering in disbelief.
"Xuanyuan Ye?"
The smile on the corner of the man in front of him deepened. As soon as he smiled, the lines of his whole face softened. When he looked at someone, he had a doting aura.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by the princess."
In this moment, Shangguan Li had already come back from the shock and frowned.
"Why don't you wear your torn mask?"
"It's not a comfortable thing, what do you do when you wear it?"
Xuanyuan Ye asked back, his tone was natural.
Shangguan Li: "..."
It seems that the person who keeps his mask away is not him.
"With such heavy snow, why doesn't the princess hold an umbrella?"
He reached out to brush away the snowflakes from Shangguan Li's head, and her movements naturally made her unable to react for a while.
"Prince, please respect yourself."
"puff."
Xuanyuan Ye laughed out loud as if he had heard some joke. Then he wanted to knock Shangguan Li's head lightly and seriously. This time she reacted and grabbed his wrist.
The latter did not succeed in the "sneak attack" and did not regret it. He said with an extremely intoxicating smile.
"The princess said such words really look like a good woman who was teased. It's so interesting."
Shangguan Li raised an eyebrow, feeling that this person was a little unreasonable and was about to say something.
Suddenly, he found that the umbrella in Xuanyuan Ye's hand was covered with her. He was exposed to the snow, and a thin layer of melting ice was accumulated on his shoulders.
