GBP Chapter 141 Leyang
Chapter 141 Leyang
"Are you Leyang?"
Li Lianhua was somewhat surprised. If it really was Leyang, how could he be alone in this martial world, especially in a place isolated from the outside world?
“It was me. Many years have passed, and I was still young then, so it’s normal that Doctor Li wouldn’t recognize me. Besides, I didn’t recognize Doctor Li either.”
"You were indeed very young then. But how did you leave the palace and come here alone?"
"It's a long story. I've been writing to my aunt, but I've never received a reply. I wanted to go out and look for her, but my father won't let me leave the capital. I can only send my secret guards to search for her."
"The secret guards sent me a message: eight years ago, after Aunt went to Pudu Temple with you, she disappeared without a trace. But soon after, Lotus Pavilion also disappeared without a trace. While searching for Aunt, the secret guards are also searching for Lotus Pavilion."
"Many times, the secret guards tracked down the Lotus Pavilion, but they never found any news about Aunt."
"So you're here all for this reason?"
Li Lianhua rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on. This whole ordeal...
"My stated purpose was to find my runaway fiancé, but I never expected him to end up with Doctor Li. Actually, I had been wanting to find my aunt for a long time, and I even sent out my guards to search for her. However, I was ambushed and brought here by someone."
"Princess, you, you..."
"Dr. Li, just call me Leyang. Here, you can call me Qing'er. It's best not to reveal your identity."
"Okay, Qing'er, your aunt is well."
"really?"
Qing'er stood up excitedly, quickly covering her mouth with her hand, afraid that she would make too loud a sound and cause trouble.
"Where is my aunt now?"
Qing'er stared intently at Li Lianhua, a hint of unease in her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, tears were silently streaming down her face.
"She's at Lotus Pavilion right now. You'll see her when you get back. Wipe your tears first. Don't go back and let Fang Duobing talk about how I can bully you."
Li Lianhua took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Qing'er.
"Alright, alright, I've finally found my aunt. But that's unnecessary. Young Master Fang is only interested in the martial world and solving cases; he won't concern himself with these things."
Qing'er didn't take the handkerchief from Li Lianhua's hand, but instead wiped her face haphazardly with her own handkerchief.
My mood has shifted from initial trepidation, anxiety, and surprise to calm now. I am completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.
"Go home early, I'll take you home to meet your aunt, she's waiting for you."
"Okay, I'll be able to see my aunt soon. Dr. Li, this way please."
Qing'er escorted Li Lianhua to Consort Xi's room and then left.
Li Lianhua entered the room, and Consort Xi was still waiting there.
"Dr. Li, you're back?"
"Miss Xifei is still awake. She drank a bit too much today and has a headache, so she's going to sleep now. Please get some rest."
"Then I'll help Doctor Li to the bedroom."
Consort Xi got up and wanted to help Li Lianhua.
"no need."
Li Lianhua turned her feet and avoided west Fei's outstretched hand.
"Is Doctor Li intentionally avoiding me?"
"No, that's not true. I'm just really drunk. I'll take a nap first. I have someone inviting me to admire the moon later. Miss Xifei, you can sleep in this bedroom, and I'll sleep in this outer hall. I won't disturb your sweet dreams."
After Li Lianhua finished speaking, she walked towards the edge of the bed.
"Then I'll light a calming incense for Dr. Li. Sweet dreams, Dr. Li."
Qing'er entered the room and saw that Fang Duobing was still not resting and was sitting at the table drinking water.
"Just pour me a glass of water. I've been working all day and haven't had a drop of water."
Qing'er sat down on the other side of the table, picked up a pastry, and started eating.
"What did you talk about with Li Lianhua? And how long have you known each other? It seems like you don't even know each other, since this is the first time you've met."
Fang Duobing babbled on and on while pouring water for Qing'er.
Qing'er took the water Fang Duobing handed her, drank a sip, and then gave a concise answer.
"I've known Dr. Li for a long time, but it's been so many years that I almost didn't recognize him. We just recognized each other and chatted for a bit."
