Chapter 118 I want to go too!
"OK then."
After the two of them finished their meal, Li Jinyuan returned to his study to deal with the memorials from the past two days.
When Jiang Li was packing her luggage, she suddenly remembered that when she mentioned the B&B to Tangtang before, she seemed very curious about it.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity to bring her along, as well as Chu Changxun, as he is one of her few friends in this world. She wants to invite them to be the first group of people to stay in the B&B!
Thinking of this, Jiang Li went to Lin's Mansion without stopping.
Just as she expected, Lin Qingtang was so excited that he almost jumped up when he heard the good news.
"Okay, okay! I'll live in the same room with you then!"
"Ok!"
The two girls were discussing what to do during those days with great anticipation, not noticing the boy hiding behind the pillar and eavesdropping.
Lin Ci puffed up his cheeks awkwardly, feeling a little depressed.
Damn it, they were planning to go out and play, but they didn't even bring him along...
When Jiang Li was forking the fruit and putting it into her mouth, she caught sight of a piece of clothing behind the reddish-brown pillar.
The girl's chewing movements slowed down, and the dark blue corner of her clothes... The only one who could be here to eavesdrop should be Lin Ci, right?
Why is he hiding?
In Jiang Li's eyes, Lin Ci was just a weird, rebellious kid. He was quite fun when he wasn't making a fuss...
"Ahem...Should we take Lin Ci with us when we go out this time?"
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of the corner of clothes moving behind the pillar. Looking up, half of the ear was exposed.
"Lin Ci?"
"Why bring him along... He's just a little brat, he'll only cause trouble for me. I'd better let him stay home."
As soon as Lin Qingtang finished speaking his words of disdain, the boy could no longer hide his feelings.
He opened the curtain with a whoosh and stood out angrily.
His childish face flushed with anger and his brows were furrowed.
"Nonsense! When have I ever caused you any trouble?"
"Besides... I'm going!"
Lin Qingtang was startled by him and retorted in annoyance.
"Why are you hiding there and scaring people?"
"I didn't... I was just passing by."
Lin Ci's tone was obviously weak. Jiang Li supported her chin with one hand and found this kid even more amusing.
Lin Qingtang had been with him for so long, so he naturally knew what he was like when he felt guilty.
Looking at his red ears and his uncontrollable wandering eyes, the girl knew he was definitely lying.
"Even if you hadn't eavesdropped, I wouldn't have taken you there."
"you!"
Lin Ci pursed his thin lips, and his puppy-like eyes couldn't help but reveal accusations.
Jiang Li felt a little sorry for it.
"Okay, let's go together. There are plenty of rooms in the B&B anyway, so it's more than enough for us to stay."
Although Lin Qingtang pursed her lips and snorted, she did not stop him.
After all, he is her younger brother, and as his elder sister, she will not argue with him.
Lin Ci's eyes lit up unexpectedly, but after meeting Jiang Li's smiling gaze, he restrained himself again.
"Hmph, then I'll reluctantly accompany you..."
"Hey! You little bastard..."
Lin Qingtang rolled up his sleeves, but before he could hit him, he ran away.
Lin Qingtang sat down helplessly, looking into Jiang Li's curved almond-shaped eyes, and sighed softly with an apologetic tone.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, he's just spoiled! His personality is really asking for a beating!"
Jiang Li shook her head indifferently, picked up a piece of fruit with a fork and put it into her mouth.
"It's okay. Children's rebellious period is quite interesting."
Lin Qingtang held the fruit slice in his mouth and agreed with what the girl said about the rebellious period. However, wasn't his rebellious period a little too long?
……
On the other side, Li Junlin’s palace.
Ji Qingwan walked in slowly carrying a lunch box, his cold eyes revealing a hint of anxiety.
The eldest prince has been under house arrest for ten days, and his father's support for him has even wavered.
Moreover, the Third Prince, who had returned to the imperial court, had already gained the trust of most of the court officials...
If Jiang Li really became the Crown Princess, she would be the future Queen...
The woman couldn't help but tighten her grip on the food box. She absolutely wouldn't allow this to happen! She couldn't let Jiang Li step on her all the time...
Only after being allowed to pass by the guards at the door did Ji Qingwan successfully walk into the study.
"My daughter greets His Majesty."
Li Junlin did not stop writing with the brush in his hand, but just spoke lightly.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ji Qing took two steps forward in the evening and put the food box on the table.
After taking out several stacks of pastries, she carefully picked up one of them and handed it to Li Junlin.
"Your Highness, please have some cakes. I made them myself."
The man still didn't look away, and even the aura around him became colder for a moment.
"Leave it there."
Ji Qingwan pursed her lips. Every time she was alone with Li Jinyuan, she felt a trembling fear.
"Your Majesty, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results."
Hearing this, Li Junlin finally put down his brush slowly and even glanced at her for the first time today.
"explain."
Facing his scrutiny, Ji Qingwan could only silently clench her sleeves.
"Because people outside say Jiang Li is a fool, with only a beautiful face, she has never had any close friends. In addition, General Jiang rarely returns to the capital, and her stepmother doesn't care about her, so...she is often bullied and likes to hide away."
"And the only change she could trace back to was the palace banquet a few months ago..."
"And the only people she's on good terms with right now are the young lady of the Lin family and... Prince Chu. Some of them have seen the three of them together more than once."
"Prince Chu...?" Li Junlin was a little surprised by this person's appearance.
Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to think about this person in her mind.
As a hostage of Dongli Kingdom, he was very smart in restraining all his edge. Even if Li Junlin didn't mention it, he wouldn't even think of such a person.
However, thinking about it now, he remembered that there seemed to be a well-known event in the capital a few years ago.
Chu Changxun saved a man who was hit by a carriage on the spot. The scene was so tragic that many doctors had sentenced the man to death.
But Chu Changxun saved him... This shows that his medical skills must be extraordinary.
"Somebody come!"
"My subordinate is here!"
"Go check whether anyone from the Third Prince's Palace had contact with Prince Chu on the night of the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
"Yes!"
Ji Qingwan was a little surprised by the man's order, but was smart enough not to ask any more questions.
"go on."
The man's deep eyes looked at Ji Qingwan again. The woman was stunned for a moment, then continued to report.
"Lin Qingtang is also a special one among the young ladies in the capital. However, I heard a few days ago that a young lady who is on good terms with her said that she will go to Wujiang with Jiang Li in a while."
"Wujiang?"
Li Junlin frowned, not thinking that there was anything special about that place.
