Chapter 368 A Ray of Hope Appears After a Dark Period
While Li Beifeng was still sighing, Xie Waner in front of him looked anxious. Read
М
She saw a clear look of rejection on Li Beifeng's face.
She originally thought that if she called Li Beifeng today, she might be able to use her identity or what happened that day to threaten him...
Even if she couldn't threaten him, she could still make a deal with him based on her identity.
But after really meeting Li Beifeng, she realized that she was wrong.
It's impossible!
This guy in front of her didn't buy her tricks at all.
Under such circumstances, Xie Waner began to look anxious.
Li Beifeng in front of her might be the only person who can help her at present.
No matter what, she has to try.
"I know that there were indeed some misunderstandings between you and me before..."
At this time, Xie Waner gradually calmed down.
She looked at Li Beifeng and said, "If I have offended you before, I... I apologize to you..."
"..."
Li Beifeng was stunned!
His eyes gradually looked at the Crown Princess in front of him as if he had seen a ghost!
Did he hear it right?
The dignified Crown Princess actually apologized to him?
Is this still her?
Is she not sick?
Li Beifeng's eyes fell on her face and found that she looked sincere and serious... She didn't seem to be joking.
It didn't seem like she was playing him...
For a moment, Li Beifeng felt a little funny and unexpected.
The Crown Princess, who was extremely noble, actually took the initiative to apologize to him... What on earth did she want to do?
Based on Li Beifeng's understanding of her, this Crown Princess didn't seem to be such a good person to talk to. Judging from the fact that she threatened him when they had a disagreement in the treasure pavilion of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, she was obviously not someone who would give in so easily... She must have bad intentions.
The last time they met, they were still very unhappy. This Crown Princess would rather die than give in. Even just now, she looked like she wanted to kill him. Why did she suddenly start to apologize to him... She must be calculating against him!
Li Beifeng's eyes were full of doubts, and his heart became more and more alert.
What is this Crown Princess up to?
The first thought that came to his mind was to leave quickly, as soon as possible, or he would definitely get into trouble.
However, when he looked into the other person's eyes, Li Beifeng was stunned again.
It must be said that being good-looking is really useful.
What fell into Li Beifeng's sight was a pair of crystal clear eyes, as clear as autumn water.
There seemed to be spirit in the eyes, and they were smart and lively.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with some worry, tension, sadness, and even a hint of pleading...
Combined with her elegant and beautiful face, she looked so pitiful that Li Beifeng's heart trembled.
How did that sentence go? If an ugly person acts cute and pitiful, it will only make people feel disgusted. If a good-looking person doesn't even need to act cute and pitiful, it's enough for her to stand in front of him.
Even if Li Beifeng didn't like her, he had no interest in other people's wives... But when this dignified Crown Princess, a high-ranking figure, suddenly looked at him with a slightly pitiful and pleading look.
Li Beifeng was somewhat reluctant and could not move his legs.
...Damn desire to conquer.
However, although he was a little soft-hearted, Li Beifeng still maintained a very cautious and vigilant attitude.
"No need to apologize for now... Tell me first, what's going on?"
...
Hearing Li Beifeng's words, Xie Wan'er was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Li Beifeng to suddenly give in.
He didn't refuse?
Xie Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up.
But soon, she was silent again!
She looked at Li Beifeng, with some hesitation on her face. But soon, this hesitation disappeared, and her eyes gradually became firm.
"Have you... heard of the Xie family in Sunset City, Beizhou?"
Xie Wan'er suddenly asked.
Li Beifeng thought about it and shook his head.
He had never been to Beizhou. Although he had learned about the situation in Beizhou, he knew Sunset City. It was the county city of Beizhou and the capital of Northern Qi at that time.
As for the Xie family... I haven't heard of it!
However, Li Beifeng soon came to his senses.
Xie family?
Xie Waner?
He looked up at Xie Waner and saw her nodding slightly.
"I am from the Xie family of Beizhou..."
"Our Xie family is the largest family in Sunset City of Beizhou..."
"Originally, our Xie family was a citizen of Beiqi. Eighteen years ago, Beiqi was destroyed...Except for the royal family of Beiqi and a small number of people, Dazhao did not make things difficult for the rest of the people of Beiqi. Instead, it treated the people of Beiqi with kindness..."
"It was also at that time that our Xie family had communication and contact with the royal family of Dazhao..."
"..."
From Xie Waner's mouth, Li Beifeng learned some little-known things.
After Dazhao destroyed Beiqi, it did not attack the ordinary people of Beiqi.
On the contrary, in order to promote the mutual integration and acceptance of the people of Beiqi and Dazhao, Dazhao made a lot of efforts.
For example, treating the people of Beiqi with kindness, reducing taxes, opening markets, exchanging what they have with Beizhou, and accepting a large number of refugees from Beiqi into the states of Dazhao.
Of course, the most important thing is intermarriage!
If you want to eliminate the fundamental hatred between the two countries, intermarriage is the best way.
Therefore, after the fall of Northern Qi, there was a wave of intermarriage.
From officials and nobles to ordinary people, anyone who marries with people in Beizhou can enjoy tax reductions and exemptions, and even be exempted from corvee...
Of course, the intermarriage was in full swing. But in Beizhou, those who should rebel will still rebel.
Some people chose to be loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty and were at odds with the Zhao Dynasty. There are also people who choose to surrender and accept the reality of becoming Jokhang people.
After the fall of the Northern Qi Dynasty, for most people, the hatred of the country's fall was unforgettable, but life still had to go on.
For ordinary people, apart from the pain caused by the war, the rest does not seem to have much to do with them.
Life has not changed much. People still work at sunrise and rest at sunset. For the vast majority of people, they have never read and are illiterate. Naturally, they do not have that deep sense of belonging to the so-called country.
After tea and dinner, everyone gathered together in twos and threes, lamenting the demise of the Northern Qi Dynasty and regretting that so many concubines in the harem had been brutally murdered. When they got emotional, they cursed the Jokhang Dynasty, along with their beautiful greetings to their female relatives and their imaginary behavior. Except... other than that, there's not much they can do.
Nothing can be changed!
Since you can't change anything, you can only accept it.
The people in the feudal dynasty were actually easy to fool. As long as they didn't starve to death, they couldn't make any waves.
This is probably an important reason why for so many years, no matter how many years ago the old parties in Northern Qi raised their flags and campaigned to revolt and restore the country, they failed every time.
Among them, the Xie family of Sunset City in Beizhou was one of the first families to submit to Dazhao.
For such aristocratic families, they actually have a weaker concept of the country.
For any aristocratic family that has existed for many years, their core interest is to safeguard the interests of their own family name.
Beyond that, nothing else matters.
He who knows the current affairs is a hero!
This is also an important reason why the ancient family can survive for so many years.
As the first aristocratic family to submit to the Jokhang Dynasty and the largest and most influential family in Sunset City, the Xie family would naturally attract the attention of the Jokhang Dynasty.
And the Xie family has not let down the attention of Da Zhao. Over the years, in Sunset City, they have assisted Da Zhao in quelling the rebellion, rebuilding the capital, and pacifying and educating the Northern Qi people in the city... The Xie family has played a great role in this.
The power of role models is undoubtedly huge!
With the Xie family taking the lead, Sunset City, which was almost in ruins, was rebuilt in just ten years and once again became the most economically prosperous city in Beizhou!
Thanks to the Xie family!
However, in Li Beifeng's view, the Xie family's behavior was somewhat like that... how should I put it?
"Taijun, please come in?"
It smells bad!
…
But I have to say that the Xie family's vision is accurate. After embracing Dazhao's lap, the Xie family firmly sat on the throne of the first family in Beizhou.
At the same time, as the Xie family's status became higher and higher, Dazhao paid more and more attention to the Xie family.
Or perhaps it was to set an example and promote the integration of Beizhou and Dazhao. Half a year ago, the emperor in the palace issued an imperial decree granting marriage!
The legitimate daughter of the head of the Xie family in Beizhou was selected as the crown princess and married to Prince Da Zhao!
This matter has also aroused heated discussions in various states, especially in Beizhou, and the heat has not subsided to this day.
The marriage between the Xie family and the Jozhao royal family was obviously a political marriage.
As for how much exchange of interests is involved, no one knows the political game.
But one thing is for sure!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dazhao married the daughter of an old Northern Qi citizen, which already sent a strong signal to the world.
This means that Dazhao has accepted Beizhou as one of his own!
The daughter of the old people of the Northern Qi Dynasty could actually become the Crown Princess of Dazhao and the future queen... Isn't this shocking enough?
This is a reassurance for those in Beizhou who are still hesitating!
Tell them that Dazhao regards them as his own and will never treat them favorably.
I have to say, Dazhao's move... is really high!
Li Beifeng was a little emotional!
He had to admire the skill and foresight of the emperor of Jozhao. It was undoubtedly a very bold decision to let his son marry the descendants of the people of the former enemy country.
However, he is so courageous... and so far, the results are remarkable!
…
Li Beifeng's eyes fell on her again. After learning these things, he felt a little more sympathetic to the princess in front of him.
It is true that the marriage between Dazhao and the Xie family is a win-win situation.
And the only person who was sacrificed was probably the Crown Princess in front of me...
What good can come of a political marriage?
Judging from the courtyard where the Crown Princess lives and the attitude of His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess must have been neglected...
The resentful woman in the palace!
Li Beifeng calmed down and asked, "What is the purpose of telling me this?"
At this time, the silent Xie Waner slowly raised her head and stared at Li Beifeng.
There was a trace of sadness in her eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly and spoke after a moment: "Last month, my father... died!"
"Died suddenly at home, cause of death unknown..."
"..."
Li Beifeng was startled for a moment, a little surprised?
Dead?
According to the princess, her father should be in his prime and in good health.
How could he die suddenly?
Could it be that he died suddenly from staying up late?
"My father has always been in good health. How could he die for no reason? Even the doctor couldn't find any problems..."
When she said this, Xie Wan'er's voice trembled a little, and her eyes gradually turned red.
Her father died suddenly for no reason, and the cause of death was unknown.
And she, as her father's only daughter, didn't even have the qualifications to go home for the funeral.
The doctor didn't find any problems, but she didn't believe it at all. How could her father die for no reason.
"Someone must have murdered my father!"
Xie Wan'er bit her lower lip tightly, and her originally bright red lower lip was almost bleeding after being bitten, and it became more and more bright.
"Do you have evidence?"
"No..."
She didn't even have the chance to go back to see her father for the last time, so how could she have evidence?
"Without evidence, how do you know that your father was murdered?"
Li Beifeng asked back.
Xie Waner gritted her teeth: "My father has always been in good health. He is still so young. He was in very good spirits half a year ago. It is impossible for him to die suddenly for no reason..."
Li Beifeng disagreed with this!
He looks healthy, but it does not mean that he will not die suddenly...
However, according to what she said, her father's sudden death is indeed a bit strange.
At this time, Li Beifeng seemed to think of something: "So the last time you sneaked into the treasure house of the Qintian Division was for your father's matter?"
"That's right!"
Xie Waner nodded, she took a deep breath, her eyes were red, and she looked a bit distressed.
Li Beifeng shifted his sight... He couldn't bear to see others playing misery.
"My father died suddenly at home, even the doctor didn't find anything unusual, and the government didn't continue to investigate, so they hastily closed the case... But I am sure that there must be a problem. My father must have been killed!!"
Xie Waner said firmly.
That day, while she was out, she sneaked into the treasure house of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, trying to find some clues... The Imperial Astronomical Bureau has deep intelligence in Beizhou, and there may be some clues and evidence there.
However, the appearance of Li Beifeng disrupted her plan by accident.
"Why are you so sure?" Li Beifeng continued to ask.
This time, Xie Wan'er was silent.
But she didn't remain silent for too long.
After a while, she slowly said: "... Many people want my father to die!"
Li Beifeng nodded slightly.
That's true!
As an old citizen of Northern Qi, the Xie family has now become a good partner of Dazhao, and even married into the royal family of Dazhao, becoming a royal relative of Dazhao... Not only will it arouse the jealousy of colleagues, but it will also bring disaster to the old party of Northern Qi.
It is estimated that the old party of Northern Qi is eager to kill the entire family of the Xie family, who are traitors, and as the head of the Xie family, he will naturally bear the brunt.
But soon, Li Beifeng thought of another possibility...
Not long ago, dozens of officials suddenly died in Beizhou within half a month...
No, it's related to this, right?
Her father...didn't die at the hands of those people?
"So...the reason you came to me is that you want me to help investigate the cause of your father's death?"
At this time, Li Beifeng finally realized the other party's purpose.
Xie Wan'er looked at Li Beifeng, her eyes still slightly red.
She nodded: "The Qintian Division collects various intelligence in Beizhou. The Qintian Division should have clues about the files at that time...You, you are the guardian of the Qintian Division..."
She didn't continue, but Li Beifeng already understood what she meant.
He is the guardian of the Qintian Division, and can freely enter and exit the Qintian Division's treasure pavilion, and can freely mobilize and view the various files and case intelligence of the Qintian Division, and even mobilize the Qintian Division's people to investigate the case...
Therefore, she found Li Beifeng.
If you put it this way, it is indeed reasonable.
But Li Beifeng still feels that something is wrong.
"Why... did you come to me?"
Although Li Beifeng, as the guardian of the Imperial Astronomical Department, could indeed help her, the problem was... she was the Crown Princess!
The honorable Crown Princess!
Her father was murdered, why did she choose to come to me?
Isn't there the Crown Prince?
For such a matter, wouldn't the Crown Prince show up?
She didn't go to her husband... why did she come to me?
Li Beifeng asked tentatively: "Does the Crown Prince know about this?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Xie Wan'er suddenly showed a sneer on her face.
A sneer with a bit of disdain.
"What do you think?"
From her reaction, Li Beifeng saw it!
This Crown Princess didn't seem to get along well with the Crown Prince.
The relationship between the two should not be very good...
"In his eyes, I am not even as good as a servant, how could he take my affairs seriously, not to mention..."
As if thinking of something, Xie Wan'er's body trembled slightly, and her tone trembled a little.
"My father's death may be related to him..."
Li Beifeng: "???"
The Crown Prince murdered his own father-in-law?
What is this drama?
Why is it getting more and more chaotic?
"Do you think it's incredible?"
Xie Wan'er glanced at him, and the sad and sarcastic expression on her face became more and more obvious: "My father has never liked him, and he doesn't want me to be a crown princess...but His Majesty has granted the marriage, and my father dare not disobey the order."
"However, even so, my father still doesn't want to have too much involvement with him... He has long been interested in my Xie family's influence in Beizhou, and has hinted to my father three times that he wants my father's help. He went to do some things, but my dad pushed him away..."
"So, the Crown Prince killed his father-in-law out of anger?"
Li Beifeng raised his eyebrows!
Killing relatives for righteousness?
There is something!
Is that guy Zhao Jing so cruel?
"I have no idea!"
Xie Wan'er shook her head, her eyes full of hatred: "But I feel that my father's death must be related to him, and it is also related to my second uncle, so..."
She raised her head and looked at Li Beifeng. At this moment, her beautiful eyes showed pleading.
"Can you... help me?"
"..."
Li Beifeng was silent!
Help her?
Rationally speaking, we shouldn’t help!
After all, no matter how you look at it, this is her family matter, and this matter involves the complicated connection between Dazhao and Beizhou, and even Zhao Jing may be involved...
He could vaguely sense that things were not that simple.
There may be a big conspiracy behind her father's sudden death!
Li Beifeng had no reason to get involved.
Furthermore, he didn’t have much interaction with the Crown Princess. They were not even close to each other, so there was no reason to help her...
Is it because she is good-looking?
...It looks good, but it has nothing to do with him.
Li Beifeng would not be so easily smitten and fooled.
Therefore, he made a decision quickly in his mind.
At this time, Xie Waner, who saw Li Beifeng's face, seemed to realize something.
She suddenly became anxious.
The person in front of her is the only one who can help her at the moment.
Her father died for no reason, but there was nothing she could do.
Although she is a princess, she doesn't even know how her father died.
She always believed that her father must have been killed.
But what's the use of her belief?
No one believed her, and no one would help her... She didn't even have a few trusted people around her.
The Li Beifeng in front of her was the only person she could count on... Although he was a bastard, after getting along with him twice, Xie Waner didn't think he was a complete bad guy.
Therefore, when she saw that her last hope was about to reject her, she was really anxious and subconsciously grabbed Li Beifeng's hand: "You, can you help me... I won't hurt you, I, I just want to Please help me check the information on Qin Tiansi and see if there are any clues... As long as you can help me, I, I... can satisfy all your conditions as much as possible..."
Li Beifeng said nothing, just stared down at his hand... Xie Waner was holding his hand.
Very hard!
Her hands are beautiful, like gelatin, delicate and smooth, warm and crystal clear... Wait, what is he thinking about?
Li Beifeng quickly calmed down and calmed down.
At this time, Xie Wan'er finally realized that she had lost her composure.
She quickly let go of Li Beifeng and hid her hands under her sleeves. Her pretty face was slightly red, and she didn't dare to look at Li Beifeng.
She, what happened to her just now?
How could you be so out of sorts?
Xie Waner's heart was a little confused, and her breathing became rapid.
A hint of blush emerged from the tips of her ears...
"As a person like me, I actually hate trouble the most!"
At this time, Li Beifeng's voice came over.
She was a little confused, raised her head without knowing why, and met Li Beifeng's gaze.
Li Beifeng shook his head: "You also know that if your father was really killed...then there must be a conspiracy behind it. I hate trouble the most, so I should actually reject you directly, then turn around and leave..."
Xie Wan'er's eyes dimmed.
The hand hidden under the sleeve suddenly grasped and squeezed tightly. The tip of the hand turned white and trembled slightly.
She knows.
Of course she knew it...
If her father was killed, there must be a conspiracy behind it.
If he helped him, he might get into trouble...so what he said was actually absolutely correct.
There is absolutely no need for him to help himself...
But……
But……
Xie Waner's eyes are getting darker and darker...if even he can't help herself.
Then, who else can help me?
Could it be that dad died like this without any explanation?
Thinking of this, Xie Wan'er suddenly felt a sense of sadness in her heart.
The sadness of despair and loneliness...
She was originally the eldest daughter of the Xie family. She had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child. Under the protection of her father, she grew up carefree. She originally thought that days like this would last for a long time.
However, the court suddenly issued a marriage certificate and married her to the prince.
Alone, leaving the home where I grew up and coming to this strange place, with no relatives or anyone I know...
Xie Wan'er was terrified, scared, worried, terrified... She didn't like being a princess at all!
However, the emperor’s order cannot be disobeyed!
In order not to embarrass her father, she chose to sacrifice herself.
She was going to get married sooner or later anyway, and it didn't make much difference to her no matter who she married.
But... things were far more cruel than she imagined.
The prince completely regarded her as a tool for political marriage. He didn't even look at her on the wedding night. He never stepped into the wedding room from beginning to end, leaving her alone in the wedding room.
This made her marriage, which she had not even had time to look forward to, fall into the abyss directly...
Afterwards, as the relationship between the prince and her father deteriorated, he never looked at her straight in the eye again, completely ignoring her, as if she had become a transparent person!
For Xie Wan'er, her only relative in this world was her father.
And now, her father died inexplicably... No matter what, she had to seek justice for her father.
But...
She couldn't do anything.
No one could help him.
Thinking of this, Xie Wan'er's pupils shrank, and crystal tears kept rolling in her eyes.
...
And Li Beifeng, who saw this scene, swallowed back the words that were on his lips.
After a while, he sighed slightly.
"If you were uglier, I might not be so entangled!"
If she was uglier, Li Beifeng would definitely turn around and leave, and would never linger.
But she had a face that could topple a country.
Willow eyebrows, jade nose, pink face, fragrant cheeks, especially at this moment, the red eyes, the pitiful and moving appearance like a begonia about to cry, makes people feel sympathy.
...This damn world of appearance!
"Tell me!"
Li Beifeng sat back at the table, glanced at her opposite, and said: "Since you want to make a deal with me, you should show enough sincerity, right?"
At this moment, Xie Wan'er, who had originally lost all hope, suddenly heard Li Beifeng's words. She slowly raised her head and stared at Li Beifeng in a daze, and seemed to have not reacted yet.
"If you want me to help you, what can you give me?"
Xie Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up with a ray of light, as if she had found hope again: "You, are you willing to help me?"
"I didn't agree... Let's see what benefits you can give me first!"
Although he was moved by sympathy, Li Beifeng was not so easy to be a sucker.
He met this Crown Princess by chance, and if he couldn't talk about feelings, he could only talk about business!
Although he didn't really want to cause trouble, if she could offer Li Beifeng enough conditions, Li Beifeng would not mind helping her.
Xie Wan'er said: "Power, money... I can give you all!"
Li Beifeng's eyes were meaningful: "Are you sure?"
Under Li Beifeng's gaze, Xie Wan'er's eyes gradually became a little empty...
If she was still the eldest daughter of the Xie family, she could indeed give Li Beifeng power. But now she has become a crown princess... a crown princess who is neglected and no one pays attention to.
What power can she give?
"Money... I can give you money!"
Xie Wan'er bit her lower lip lightly.
"I'm not short of money!"
Li Beifeng shook her head. Her situation at this time was a bit like Su Shan's.
The only things she could give were power and money, but Li Beifeng didn't lack these two things.
Oh, by the way, Su Shan is different from her.
Su Shan can still promise her body, as for her...
Li Beifeng shook his head, obviously not!
"Besides, do you have money?"
Li Beifeng looked her up and down, his eyes were playful.
"Yes!"
Xie Wan'er suddenly stood up and came to a corner next to the screen.
Then, she opened a box stacked in the corner next to her.
In an instant, the box was shining with golden light, which was very dazzling.
Gold, jewelry, precious porcelain...all kinds of priceless treasures were placed in the box.
Then, Xie Wan'er opened several boxes next to her one after another.
In those boxes, there were also priceless treasures, precious medicinal materials, rare antique treasures...
"These are all the dowry I brought from Beizhou..."
Xie Wan'er looked back at Li Beifeng, "Are these enough?"
For a moment, Li Beifeng was indeed moved!
They are all treasures, all money...Although he is not short of money now, who would complain that he has little money?
So many treasures, they are priceless without even looking at them... As the first family in Beizhou, marrying a daughter, or marrying a prince, how can the dowry be shabby?
Li Beifeng stood up and came to the box, looking at the various precious treasures in the alley, and sighed.
"They are all good treasures!"
"All these things can be given to you!"
Xie Wan'er looked back at Li Beifeng, without a trace of nostalgia in her beautiful eyes: "As long as you help me..."
"Money is indeed a good thing, but... I don't lack these!"
Li Beifeng paused and glanced at her: "Are there any other conditions that can make me interested?"
If it were normal, Li Beifeng's words would inevitably cause her to be angry and embarrassed.
But this time, she just lowered her head: "No more..."
"These are all the belongings I brought back from Beizhou, and they are all I have now. Apart from this, I have nothing else..."
Her tone was a little depressed.
She really had nothing!
No father, no home!
"Don't you still have yourself?"
"Hmm?"
Xie Wan'er looked up in confusion and met Li Beifeng's gaze.
When she saw the meaningful and slightly mischievous look in his eyes, she was stunned at first, and then thought about it carefully.
Then... she suddenly realized something.
What did he mean by this?
He, he couldn't have any bad intentions towards me...right?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, Xie Wan'er's whole body trembled, and then her face flushed and her eyes were flustered. For a moment, she was alert and panicked.
He, he won't be true to himself...
At this moment, Xie Wan'er suddenly remembered the look in his eyes just now and those meaningful words...
He, he won't really...
Is he kidding himself?
But, what if it's true?
At this moment, Xie Waner was a little confused and became increasingly wary.
He, is he crazy?
Are you the Crown Princess? !
Does he still dare to have evil intentions towards him?
Is he so audacious? !
Aren't you afraid of losing your head?
Men really don’t have any good things...
"You, what do you want to do..."
Xie Wan'er's tone was nervous, trembling, a little uneasy, angry... and a hint of indescribable emotions.
However, Li Beifeng did not continue to speak.
His eyes fell on a box.
Inside the box, there are various precious medicinal treasures. Among them, something caught his attention.
That was a Ganoderma lucidum buried under some herbs!
White Ganoderma!
Li Beifeng stepped forward and picked up the white Ganoderma lucidum.
This Ganoderma lucidum seems to be old at first glance. Judging from the lines on the Ganoderma lucidum, I am afraid that this Ganoderma lucidum is quite old.
At the same time, from Li Beifeng's professional perspective, this Ganoderma lucidum must be extraordinary.
So, he turned back to look at Xie Wan'er behind him: "How old is this Ganoderma lucidum?"
…
At this time, Xie Wan'er, who was full of vigilance and thinking wildly, suddenly heard Li Beifeng's question, and the span was a bit big, and she didn't recover for a while.
"ah?"
"What's wrong? What year is this Ganoderma lucidum from?"
Xie Wan'er's eyes were blank, her head still a little unrecovered, her eyes fell on this Ganoderma lucidum, and she subconsciously said: "This Ganoderma lucidum was given to me by my father. I heard it was dug out from a deep mountain somewhere in Beizhou. , at least two hundred years old..."
"Two hundred years?!"
Li Beifeng's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you sure?"
Xie Waner didn't know what happened yet, she just felt that Li Beifeng was a little strange at this moment.
"I'm sure, I've asked someone to identify it..."
Li Beifeng's eyes became brighter and brighter. This was really a desperate situation and there was no way out. It took no effort at all!
Previously, for the three-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, he ran to the Imperial Palace Hospital and then to the Qintiansi Treasure Pavilion. Only then did he learn that the Ganoderma lucidum had been robbed...
He thought it would be difficult to find another Ganoderma lucidum that was so old, but he didn't expect... he actually came across it!
Although the medicinal properties of two-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum are not as strong as those of three-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, they are still almost the same.
For Su Shan, it was more than enough.
Thinking of this, Li Beifeng looked excited.
"I want this Ganoderma lucidum!"
Li Beifeng looked at Xie Wan'er and said, "In return, I will find a way to help you find out about your father's affairs... How about it?"
Xie Waner is a little confused!
Happiness came so suddenly that she couldn't react for a while.
"You, are you telling the truth?!"
When she reacted, Xie Wan'er's eyes widened with a look of joy on her face.
"Don't worry, I will never go back on what I promised!"
After getting Ganoderma lucidum, Li Beifeng was in a very good mood.
This Ganoderma lucidum is a life-saving treasure. Compared with Su Shan's condition, Xie Waner's things can only be regarded as trivial matters.
Just a little effort!
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first!"
Li Beifeng said hello, turned and left.
Xie Wan'er was left standing there, still somewhat unrecovered.
baffling!
Until now, she still doesn't know why Li Beifeng suddenly changed his mind, why he suddenly became so talkative and simply agreed to help?
Could it be... is it because of that Ganoderma lucidum?
Xie Wan'er couldn't figure it out. Is that very common Ganoderma lucidum, which is old but still rare, so important?
However, these are not important for now.
Thinking of Li Beifeng's promise to help her investigate the cause of his father's death, Xie Waner's eyes gradually became excited.
"Dad, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the truth and I will never let you die unjustly!"
Xie Waner's firm beautiful eyes shone with a deep... coldness.
…
"Sister Su!"
Shen Qingning burst into the room furiously.
His eyes scanned around the room, but he couldn't see the person he wanted to see.
Then he came to Su Shan's side: "Sister Su, have you seen where that guy is?"
The guy in Shen Qingning's mouth was naturally Li Beifeng.
She went to Li Beifeng's room just now and saw no one else, nor was she here with Sister Su. So where did he go?
"Isn't he here?"
Su Shan was stunned for a moment. Didn't he come back earlier?
Why is the person missing again?
"That's weird, where did you go?"
Shen Qingning muttered to herself, and then said to Su Shan: "Sister Su, I'm going to find him first... This guy might have secretly hooked up with a girl outside while I wasn't paying attention..."
Shen Qingning, with a bit of resentment, ran out of the room with small steps.
Seeing this scene, Su Shan looked a little envious.
She really envied Qing Ning's liveliness and innocence, and also envied her straightforward temperament, where she could go wherever she wanted...
Su Shan lowered her head and glanced at herself, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.
For no reason, she suddenly remembered what happened before... and the guy's shocking remarks.
Shameless... shameless!
Her face suddenly turned red.
Her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
She put one hand on her chest and touched her slightly hot face with the other hand.
After a long time, she gradually calmed down.
"Asshole!"
She spoke softly.
Her voice was filled with a bit of the girl's faint sorrow.
Qing Ning was right, that guy was really an asshole.
Not only an asshole, but also very greedy...
What the master and servant owed one more time...
How could he have such a bastard idea, was he worthy of Qing Ning?
But...
For some reason, Su Shan didn't seem to have any deep resistance to this from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, a little guilt rose in his heart...
It was messy, it was messy...
Su Shan shook his head vigorously to stop himself from thinking about these messy things.
But the more he deliberately didn't think about it, the more he couldn't help but think about it.
"Cough cough..."
She suddenly started to cough violently.
She covered her mouth lightly, with a trace of pain on her face.
Although her body had improved a lot after that treatment.
But the minor illness was still there, and her body was still difficult to recover.
Is it really incurable?
Su Shan's eyes flashed a trace of loss, and then quickly returned to calm.
She had been mentally prepared!
Just then, footsteps were heard approaching outside the door.
Is it Qing Ning?
Su Shan subconsciously looked at the door.
Soon, a familiar figure appeared at the door.
Su Shan's body trembled slightly, and the redness on her face that had just fallen quickly rose again...
...
Li Beifeng walked into the room, holding the Ganoderma lucidum that had just been boiled in his hand!
It exuded heat and a strong medicinal fragrance that filled the room.
After getting the two-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum from the Crown Princess, Li Beifeng went into the kitchen and started to boil medicine.
Boiling medicine is a technical job, and it is important to master the heat and time.
After two hours of hard work, the medicinal effects of Ganoderma lucidum were finally boiled into soup.
Li Beifeng couldn't wait to bring the boiled Ganoderma lucidum soup over: "Hurry up, come and drink the medicine!"
He brought the medicine to Su Shan.
At this time, Su Shan was still a little guilty and flustered, and didn't dare to look at him.
Li Beifeng didn't pay much attention to it, but urged her: "Why are you standing there, drink the medicine... I got it back with great difficulty, drink it while it's hot..."
Seeing that Su Shan still didn't respond, Li Beifeng realized something. Looking down, he found some clues.
"Hey, why is your face so red?"
"..."
