After approving the last memorial, Li Shimin rubbed his sore shoulders.
"Your Majesty, have some of the chicken soup I made.”
"Guanyin maid, how many times have I told you not to wait for me? Also, let the imperial kitchen do the cooking of the chicken soup.”Li Shiming wished that this bowl of chicken soup was made by the imperial kitchen! Li Shimin turned his head to the side, pinched his nose, and drank the whole bowl of chicken soup.
He had to drink it! Who asked this to be chicken soup with love! Even if it tasted like Chinese medicine!
Empress Zhangsun handed over a few pieces of pastries at the right time." By the way, Your Majesty, I have something to do. I don't know if I did it right. Didn't Li Chongyi give me a bottle of perfume last time?”
"Yes, I remember this."
"But, you know, there are too many sisters in the palace. You use a little, and I use a little, and they are all used up very quickly. So, I called Li Chongyi into the palace…Later, Lizhi reminded me, and I was moved.”Empress Zhangsun told him about her meeting with Li Chongyi today, but she omitted the bargaining process.
"It's fine." Li Shimin smiled. Oh right, now that you mention him, I remember. No wonder the chicken soup tasted wrong!”
"Hmm?" Empress Zhangsun's face darkened.
"I'm not saying that your skills are bad." Li Shimin quickly explained. He had used the wrong chicken. If he had used the chicken raised by Chongyi, the chicken soup would have been even more delicious.”Li Shi Min said with a look of reminiscence.
"Then when he went to see you today, why didn't you ask him to send some to the palace? ChenQie was a little greedy when she heard it.”Empress Zhangsun said.
Li Shi Min suddenly stood up," Guanyin maid, you just said that after Li Chongyi left your place, he said that he would come to see me?”At this point, Empress Zhangsun also reacted." Your Majesty, he didn't go to see you? Then he…"
"Men, immediately check the records of today's entry and exit.”Pausing, Li Shi Min said,"Ask Gao Yang to see me again."
……
Li Chongyi smoothly entered the small palace. He listened to Zheng Meng's instructions in his mind and headed towards the second rare species.
As he walked, Li Chongyi suddenly saw a house in front of him that was lit up.
Li Chongyi made a mental deduction. Based on the hint given to him by Zheng Meng, that bright spot should be where the second rare species was located. If his guess was correct, it should also be a pet raised by someone in the palace.
Li Chongyi had already confirmed it when he arrived outside the window. Zheng Meng had told him that the second rare species was called the Storm Rabbit.
Li Chongyi dipped his index finger in his saliva and poked the window paper lightly.
Under the soft candlelight, a beautiful woman was scooping out a ladle of water from the bathtub and pouring it on her head.
What a beautiful bathing picture.
However, Li Chongyi's gaze was more focused on a white rabbit beside the bathtub. This was because other than her head and her arms that were occasionally exposed to the bathtub, everything else was blocked by the bathtub. Moreover, her back was facing Li Chongyi.
Li Chongyi looked at the door. The door was ajar. He walked over and held the door bolt carefully. He tried his best to use less strength. When the door opened a gap that was as wide as a person, Li Chongyi slowly 'moved' inside.
It was very smooth. Even when he entered the room, the woman who was bathing still did not notice him.
Li Chongyi's eyes were fixed on the Gale Rabbit as he approached it step by step.
"Xia Xi, don't think I don't know you're here. Hmph, you're trying to scare me, aren't you?”the woman suddenly said.
Li Chongyi quickly squatted down and remained motionless.
"Xia Xi, come here. I have something interesting to tell you. Today, I went to accompany Mother. Mother met that Li Chongyi who knows how to compose poems. That person is really interesting. He actually bargained with Mother. Xia Xi, Xia Xi?”Li Lizhi suddenly felt that something was wrong and turned around.
Just as she turned her head, the candle in the room went out. Li Lizhi looked at the place where the candles were placed. Through the dim moonlight, she saw a figure standing there.
"Who…who are you? Xia Xi, is that you?" Li Lizhi asked in a trembling voice.
Li Chongyi casually grabbed a piece of half-embroidered silk from the table, rolled it into a ball, and walked toward Li Lizhi.
However, at this moment, dense footsteps suddenly came from outside.
"Hey, who are you? Why did he barge in at this hour?”
"Miss Xia Xi, there are assassins in the palace today. We are here on behalf of His Majesty…"
"No, you can't go in. What assassin? Where did the assassin come from? The princess is already resting…Other than His Majesty and the Empress, no one else is allowed to come.”
"Miss Xia Xi, we don't have to go in. I wonder if Miss Xia Xi met anyone suspicious tonight?”
"No, no. Let's go."
A conversation could be heard from outside. One of them was obviously a eunuch with a sharp voice, while the other was Li Lizhi's personal maid, Xia Xi. Li Lizhi's hope was completely shattered. At the same time, something was pressed against her throat." If you want to live, don't play any tricks."”
"Yes, yes, I know." Li Lizhi nodded and shouted,""Xia Xi, who's here? I was sleeping soundly when you woke me up.”
"Princess, please forgive us, please forgive us, we will leave now.”
The eunuchs left even faster than they had come. If they didn't leave now, when would they? If the princess was angry and rushed out, they would be whipped at the very least, and they would lose their lives at the very least.
After the eunuchs left, Xia Xi came over and said a few words to Li Lizhi before leaving.
"You…can you let go of me now?”
"Oh, oh, but you're not allowed to make a sound. Let me tell you, I'm a great thief outside. I kill without blinking an eye.”
