Chapter 20 The Monkey
Back to Li Qinglin's palace—it's actually not a palace, because Li Qinglin doesn't have a title, it's just a prince's palace. Qin Yi didn't know why Li Qingjun had a title but Li Qinglin didn't.
Of course, this place may soon become the Prince's Mansion, and it doesn't matter whether it has a title or not. Qin Yi stood at the door, took out Li Qinglin's badge, and was about to let someone pass it on, but saw the middle door wide open and Li Qingjun standing in front of him.
"Why are you back?" Qin Yi was very surprised. The death of the crown prince is such a big deal. How long did it take you to come back after entering the palace?
"Father and brother... and brother Wang are discussing matters, I am sitting as I am, so I just came out to see you." Li Qingjun said with a blank expression: "I was worried that you would not get used to it, so you didn't enter the mansion at all. .”
"Go out for a walk and do some shopping."
Li Qingjun's eyes fell on his backpack.
The bulging rucksack, originally with the handle of the mace exposed outside, looked very unsuitable, but now there is a wooden handle for some reason, it looks like a bumpkin entering the city. Li Qingjun said angrily: "What do you want, tell the stewards in the mansion to buy it, and they will try their best to satisfy you, why bother to wander around by yourself?"
"so good?"
"Of course." Li Qingjun turned around and led him in, "You are a guest invited by Brother Wang himself, who dares to neglect you?"
Immediately, the stewards of the mansion nodded and bowed: "Princess, Mr. Qin's residence has been prepared."
Li Qingjun said lightly: "Lead the way."
Qin Yi looked at Li Qingjun with great interest, and found it very amusing.
It can be said that in the Jianghu before, Li Qingjun was a reckless but daring chivalrous woman. Now that she is back in the capital and at the prince's mansion, she is a graceful and calm princess.
Qin Yi was convinced that Li Qingjun in the Jianghu was her real side, but he didn't know if Li Qingjun in the capital was just showing off, or was he also part of the other side of his personality?
The steward of the mansion prepared an independent courtyard for Qin Yi. The layout is somewhat similar to Qin Yi's own small courtyard, but the carved beams and painted buildings are much richer, and the courtyard is no longer medicinal herbs, but full of flowers and green grass, with a refreshing fragrance. , elegant and beautiful.
The steward saluted and said, "Your Highness has just sent someone back to report that Mr. Qin likes to be quiet and elegant, so he made this arrangement. If Mr. Qin is not satisfied, we can change another room."
Qin Yi shook his head and said: "It's very good here. It's better to have an empty field with sunshine, sometimes I have some uses."
The steward immediately turned his head and ordered: "Go and level the grass behind..."
A servant was about to go to work, Qin Yi hurriedly said: "Wait, wait, no need."
The servants stopped immediately and ordered to prohibit. It seems that Li Qinglin used the style of managing the army at home?
Qin Yi looked at Li Qingjun with some headaches, but Li Qingjun remained expressionless and did not speak. He said helplessly: "That's it, the princess and I have something to say."
The steward led people to evacuate very sensibly, Li Qingjun stood quietly for a while, watching the servant go away out of the corner of his eye, he quickly lost his ladylike dignity, and sat down on the lawn next to him: "I'm so tired. "
Qin Yi couldn't help laughing, and sat on the lawn with her, and asked, "When you were fighting monsters and bleeding from the corner of your mouth, I didn't see you screaming tired, how long have you been back..."
Li Qingjun was silent for a moment, then sighed lowly: "If you die, brother, I'm afraid you will be just as tired."
As he said that, his eyes turned red. Obviously, he had been holding back his sadness before, but now he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Hmm..." Qin Yi apologized, "I'm sorry."
This girl was bullied by him earlier, she was so wronged, she still had a hard face even though she was in tears, this was the first time Qin Yi saw her feeling sad and weak. It can be seen that no matter how chivalrous a woman's heart is, there is still the softest place in her heart, such as family affection.
She had a very good relationship with Li Qinglin, and her relationship with the prince whom she had never met was obviously not bad either. Qin Yi believed that it would be difficult for such a younger sister to have conflicts with any older brother, and it should be the kind that everyone loves very much.
"It's nothing." Li Qingjun sniffled, and his expression turned fierce: "It must have been done by the barbarians of the West Wilderness, just to make trouble!"
Qin Yi was not easy to talk to. Li Qingjun didn't expect him to solve the case, he just looked for a place to talk, and continued on his own: "One day, I will destroy Xihuang and avenge my elder brother!"
Qin Yi nodded, followed her and said, "Brother Qinglin has planned, and sooner or later this day will come."
"Yes." Li Qingjun trusted Li Qinglin very much: "It will definitely work."
After saying this, the two of them were a little cold, Qin Yi didn't know what to say to comfort her, and she also looked at the sky in a daze. The two sat quietly on the lawn, silent.
After a while, Li Qingjun suddenly said: "I still remember the words when I first saw you. You said that you should eat well, sleep well, and be carefree. Isn't it a fairy? Now? You are a fairy, we are mortals Yue Fan?"
Qin Yi sighed: "There are always things that must be done, and even gods ask for something."
"The ones who seek are only those who seek the road to immortality. How can a real immortal seek anything?" Li Qingjun looked at the sky and said in a low voice: "The song you taught the woodcutter to sing is all about the obsession of all beings. Once After all, that is a god, so there is nothing more to ask for."
Qin Yi knew that her elder brother's assassination and death had hit Li Qingjun a bit hard, and the desire to seek immortality that had always been rooted in his heart was provoked again. Then he persuaded: "I know a monkey who traveled all over thousands of rivers and mountains and searched for a fairy for ten years. Finally, he found a real fairy and learned the method of longevity. Do you think it can be regarded as a fairy who has no desires and no desires?" ?”
"Of course, how can you not be a fairy if you live forever?" Li Qingjun became interested: "What happened later?"
"Later... Anyway, I know that he was really carefree before seeking immortality, but after he attained Taoism, he was restless. In the end, he put on shackles and became a Buddha. Knowing how far this attainment of Taoism is from his original intention, will he not regret it in the end?"
Li Qingjun stared at Qin Yi, she felt that this monkey was made up by Qin Yi to insinuate herself: "Are you... admonishing me?"
Qin Yi shook his head and said, "No, everyone has their own destiny, but I think that people must know what they want."
"What do you want..." Li Qingjun looked at the sky in a trance, and whispered to himself: "What I want is to carry my zhanger silver spear, travel across the world, go in and out of Qingming, and sweep away the injustice in the world... instead of being a scumbag in Beijing. My noble daughter, finally recruit a boring son-in-law to spend my life trapped."
Qin Yi couldn't help but said, "You really cast the wrong baby."
Li Qingjun smiled, and shifted: "Can you tell me the story of that monkey in detail?"
"That's a long story..."
Li Qinglin was busy right now, and Qin Yi didn't know what he should do for the time being when he just arrived. It happened that Li Qingjun was sitting here chatting, but he was the only person he knew well in the capital. Qin Yi didn't think it was a long story, and actually started talking to her about Journey to the West.
This talk went straight to making havoc in the Heavenly Palace. Li Qingjun was fascinated by the unheard of stories, and smiled lightly: "What a wild, unruly and bold monkey."
Li Qinglin's voice came from outside the courtyard: "This is a monkey who dares to resist and win, even if what it does may be a crime. It's a very interesting story, and I look forward to the follow-up of Brother Qin."
Both of them stood up, and Li Qingjun's expression became solemn again: "What's the matter?"
"There is no clue." Li Qinglin said in a deep voice: "The murderer was very fast. According to the guards of the eldest brother, only a black shadow flashed by, and the eldest brother... I personally suspect that Xihuang did it."
Li Qingjun pursed his lips tightly.
Li Qinglin said again: "You and I were not around when the incident happened, so we can't intervene temporarily. Father Wang is doing his best to investigate, and there will be results in the end."
Li Qingjun sighed: "Are you going to be the prince?"
"Hmm..." Li Qinglin couldn't see any joy on his face, but shook his head instead: "This is really... roasted on the fire."
Li Qingjun asked: "Someone thinks you are suspicious?"
"Well, although there are only a few, it is inevitable that there are some, but this kind of questioning is meaningless."
It really doesn't make sense, because the king only has two sons, and it is impossible to treat the only remaining son as a suspect because of some groundless doubts.
Li Qinglin didn't continue this topic, but turned to Qin Yi and said, "Brother Qin, I'm really sorry, it happened so suddenly, I've been negligent."
"The princess has been talking nonsense with me all day, where is the neglect?" Qin Yi pointed at the sky: "The sun is already setting, and you are neglecting if you don't invite me to dinner."
Li Qinglin laughed.
