Chapter 247 We will definitely find that evil creature!
Taiping Palace, Qingliang Palace.
On the mahogany beauty couch, a beautiful lotus foot was wrapped by a pair of large hands with distinct joints, massaging it gently.
Above the jade feet, a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs were faintly visible in the moon-white gauze skirt with scattered flowers, and the upper body was half-open, revealing a half-covered, white jade-like breast.
The beauty lies on her side on the beauty couch, her hair hanging down with a phoenix hairpin inserted diagonally, her red lips slightly parted, smiling in her eyes, and the beauty mole between her eyebrows exudes a seductive charm.
"Princess, there is news." The maid Zhu Yan walked in and reported in a low voice.
The charm on Princess Qingyi Chen Lingyi's face disappeared in an instant. She pulled her jade feet out of the hands of her lover A Qiao and waved her hand gently, "You go down first!"
A Qiao, who was wearing a mask and kneeling on the ground, did not stand up immediately. Instead, he wanted to reach out to grab Chen Lingyi's jade feet, but received a warning look from the princess.
A Qiao pursed his lips, withdrew his hand in disappointment, stood up slowly, and retreated reluctantly.
When the maid Zhu Yan saw A Qiao walking away, she came to the beauty's bed and bowed and whispered, "Li Heng has come to Yizhou."
"Okay!" Chen Lingyi slowly sat up from the beauty couch, a satisfied smile on her red lips.
"Follow him. We will definitely find that evil creature if we follow him!"
Zhu Yan's expression was a little complicated. Looking at the princess's determined look, she couldn't help but fall into memories.
A year ago, the princess was ordered by the emperor to go to the "porridge field" outside Kyoto to inspect the situation of the victims. When she was returning to the palace, she accidentally caught a glimpse of a person in the crowd.
Because she only saw the man's profile and because she was too busy with the famine victims at that time, the princess did not take the man seriously at first.
When the carriage and the procession arrived at the gate of Kyoto, the princess suddenly realized that the man's face was very similar to that of the former prince's tutor Li Heng.
Li Heng served as the Prince's Tutor for two years. Six years ago, after accompanying the former Crown Prince on an inspection tour to Yangzhou, he resigned for unknown reasons and retired.
Last year, the governor of Yangzhou sent a secret letter to inform the princess that he had accidentally discovered that the late crown prince and the daughter of the richest family in Yangzhou, Wang, were pregnant and had a son who was already four years old.
Judging from the date, this child should be the one left behind by the former prince during his inspection tour of Yangzhou.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yan glanced at Chen Lingyi carefully. She still remembered that when the princess first received the news, she burst into laughter and couldn't help but say:
"Who would have thought that my good brother, the late crown prince who had long since turned to dust, who was once so glorious and praised by everyone, actually still had some blood left in this world?"
Afterwards, the princess ordered the governor of Yangzhou to secretly exterminate the Wang family and kill the child together.
Unexpectedly, when the Wang family's house was burned down, the child also disappeared.
Although the killers intended to follow the traces, they were powerless due to the sudden flood that caused thousands of victims to flee everywhere.
Zhu Yan lowered his eyebrows.
"It was all my fault that I didn't recognize Li Heng at that time, so he fled to the northern border with the late crown prince's posthumous child."
Chen Lingyi glanced at Zhu Yan and said in a faint voice:
“It’s not your fault, I didn’t recognize him immediately, let alone you?
Besides, who would have thought that after Li Heng resigned, he actually stayed in the Wang family and closely protected that evil child. "
Zhu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"No matter how secretive Li Heng is, he can't escape the princess's grasp.
The princess ordered Qingzhou's secret agents to guard the city gate every day. Sure enough, they waited for Li Heng and saw the illegitimate child he brought with him.
Although the assassination attempt failed and Li Heng was able to find the stronghold in Qingzhou, God always stood on the side of the princess and was always fond of her.
As the strongholds of Dingzhou and Ningzhou were successively eliminated by the Prince of Yan, the princess had long wanted to set up a new spy dark network across the northern border.
Although Li Heng killed all the spies in the old base, he didn't know that by chance, a new secret line that entered Qingzhou two days later than him found him recovering in the city and secretly watched him to death, waiting for him to go find that evil child. "
At this point, Zhu Yan couldn't help but compliment Chen Lingyi:
"Li Heng is in Yizhou right now, and the princess is also in Yizhou. Li Heng is in the light, and the princess is in the dark. Now he and that evil creature will definitely not be able to escape even if they have wings!"
Chen Lingyi raised her lips in satisfaction, "Let Ah Qiao come in and continue to massage me. His skills are getting better and better."
"Yes."
……
Yizhou City.
Li Heng looked at the familiar city wall, many thoughts flashed through his eyes, but in the end, he could only sigh and slowly walked into the city.
He had heard long ago that Princess Qingyi had secretly come to Yizhou. Whenever someone from the court came, the Prince of Yan, who spent all day in the military camp, would return to the Prince of Yan's mansion to stay, to prevent the court from thinking that the Prince of Yan was spending all his time in the military camp and fearing that he had the intention of treason.
Li Heng's mouth corner tilted, and the not-so-long beard on his chin moved, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his deep-set eyes.
The Prince of Yan is guarding the northern border. He must be training his troops in the barracks every day. Could it be that he spends all day visiting brothels?
Those heartless ministers in the court actually used this reason to impeach Prince Yan. It's totally unreasonable!
The gate of Prince Yan’s Palace was still the same as he remembered… gray and without any trace of the luxurious atmosphere of a royal palace!
Li Heng asked the doorman to pass the message, and was soon led in by a man in tight clothes.
Not far away, the spies who had followed Li Heng all the way saw this scene and had to wait outside and convey the news that Li Heng had entered the Prince of Yan's Mansion to the eldest princess.
……
"Li Heng pays respect to His Royal Highness Prince Yan."
"Master Li, you're welcome."
After six years of separation, when Chen Ji saw Li Heng, who was missing an arm, a hint of genuine surprise flashed in his eyes.
Li Heng smiled casually, "Li Heng has already resigned from his official position, Your Highness, please just call me by my name!"
"Whether he is an official or not, Master Li is Xuanli's martial arts master, and this will never change!" Chen Ji said in a deep voice.
Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether it was the right choice to come to King Yan at this time, but he had no time.
"Li Heng came here this time to tell you something and to ask for something."
Chen Ji looked at Li Heng's expression quietly. After a moment, he nodded and said, "You can talk about it."
"I have something to tell you. I was once ambushed by the Princess's secret agents in Qingzhou. This arm was poisoned by the spies' knives, so I had to cut it off."
Li Heng's expression was somewhat self-deprecating, and then he continued:
"After I eliminated the princess's base in Qingzhou, I discovered that another hidden force had sneaked in. I guess the princess has re-arranged her minions to sneak into the northern border. Your Highness, please be careful in the future."
Chen Ji frowned slightly. No wonder Chen Lingyi was able to come to Yizhou without anyone noticing this time. It turned out that the secret network had been updated. It was really... a bit of a headache!
After thinking carefully for a moment, Chen Ji nodded and looked at Li Heng: "I understand. What do you want to ask for?"
