colorful butterfly

Chapter 24

Last night, after Lin Zi went out, Li Qingzhu also fell asleep by the fire. He might be worried about her cousin. Looking at her sleeping face, remembering that night, they hugged each other, kissed her, and felt her hidden love, how much he wanted to be with her forever, be his husband, and hold hands for a lifetime.

But this love is too heavy, who can love it, want to let go, also want to let go, to make everyone happy, but there seems to be a wound in my heart that will never heal.

Just after dawn, Li Qingzhu woke up, and saw that he was covered with a piece of clothing, which belonged to Jiang Sijun, and he was sleeping next to him, covered in dirt, thinking that this great talent might never have been so embarrassed , It's really hard for him.

Li Qingzhu got up and went out, and saw that Lin Zi had gotten up and was standing outside the door, Li Qingzhu said to Lin Zi: "Send your young master back later, I'll just go find it by myself."

Lin Zi couldn't help it anymore, and said: "Princess, don't you really know my young master's intentions? The young master will always keep things related to you in mind, and he will never go back. He is more stubborn than ordinary people. No one can change what he believes."

Li Qingzhu sighed and said: "This matter is a foregone conclusion, you still advise your son to open some, after all, there are some things that we have no choice, because it is too extravagant."

After Li Qingzhu finished speaking, she left and continued to search alone. After some searching, she finally found Liu Shiyue, and she was much relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

When Li Qingzhu saw Liu Shiyue leading a child beside him, he asked, "Cousin, where did this child come from?".

Liu Shiyue said: "I met him halfway. He got separated from his parents and couldn't find his family, so I brought him back."

Liu Shiyue didn't want to tell her cousin the origin of the child, she was afraid that she would be worried, and she didn't know the identity of the child, so it wouldn't be too late to tell her after finding out.

Li Qingzhu said: "Cousin, it's good that you are fine. You are suffering, and it's all my fault. I couldn't find you in time. Come back with me! Your parents are very worried about you, and they are talking about something when they go back."

Li Qingzhu saw that her cousin was covered in mud, her hair was disheveled, her face was disheveled, and her body was weak. She must have had a hard day and night, and felt sorry for her.

She didn't pay much attention to this child, he looked quite pitiful, anyway, the family was not short of money, and raising a child was not a problem.He led them back.

"Master, everything is under control."I saw one person reporting to another.The man replied in a low voice: "Proceed carefully, don't startle the snake, and continue to spy on it."

Situ Nan was very angry when he heard that Liu Shiyue came back safe and sound. His subordinates couldn't handle such a trivial matter, they were all trash.Losing this great opportunity, the Liu family must take precautions, and it will not be so easy to strike.

Situ Feng can't help it, his brother also persuaded her to give up this idea, let's make another plan!
After Liu Shiyue returned home, she didn't take the child back, but raised her in a relative's courtyard, and found a reliable person to take care of him. As for the pharmacy, she hasn't visited yet.There are still many things she hasn't figured out, so she can't act rashly.

When Jiang Sijun woke up, he found that Li Qingzhu had already left, so he went out to look for it, and when he heard that he had found it, he went back to his residence.

Prince Li Xin was reading a book in the study when a young eunuch came into the room and said to him: "His Royal Highness, Situ Nan please see me!" The prince replied: "Let him in!"

Situ Nan walked in and said, "Your Highness, I thought you found that painting!"

When the prince heard this, he immediately became excited and said: "Situ Nan, you are indeed reliable and worthy of great responsibility, and I have not wasted my cultivation of you." Situ Nan said respectfully: "Thanks to the great love of His Royal Highness, the minister will have today's success." I have always remembered His Highness's kindness, and I have found this painting to dedicate to His Highness." After speaking, he presented the painting in both hands to the crown prince, who took the scroll and opened it to see that it was a picture of a begonia and a butterfly.

Immediately, he was ecstatic and said: "Situ Nan, you have made great contributions, and the crown prince will reward you a lot. Whatever you want, just ask for it!"

Situ Nan replied: "My minister dares to ask, can His Highness marry my younger sister as the concubine?"

The smile on the prince's face disappeared immediately, but after a while, the prince replied with a smile: "As long as you help the prince wholeheartedly, I will make your sister the princess." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so heartbroken that he will follow you to the death and assist you to ascend to the throne."

The prince said: "Okay! I will definitely report to my father and marry your sister in another day!"

Situ Nan was very happy when he heard these words. After thanking him, he returned home.

After he left, the prince picked up the painting and looked at it carefully, and said to the little eunuch beside him: "I have already got the painting, so I just sent it. Fortunately, it was sent, so I don't have to do it." The little eunuch asked: "Your Highness really I want to marry his younger sister." The prince said with a sneer: "What kind of thing is her younger sister? How is she worthy? It's all a matter of expediency. It's not up to me to decide how to treat her when I'm in the throne room."

The little eunuch replied: "Your Highness is brilliant."

The prince said again: "There is only Linglong jade pendant left, it seems that we have to hold on tight!"

A person came to report, "Second Highness, the prince has received the scroll."The second prince Li Ran replied: "It seems that the painting is really in Situ Nan's hands, but he can hold his breath quite well. After so long, the prince must be dissatisfied."

"Situ Nan gave the painting to the prince on condition that the prince marry his sister."

"This Situ Nan is really brave enough. It seems that he still doesn't understand the methods of the prince." The second prince said.

The man said: "Second Highness, if you don't take a step, what should you do?"

The second prince said: "It seems that we have lost the opportunity. Another thing, we must hurry up and prevent it from falling into the hands of the prince. Continue to investigate."

"The subordinates understand that they will definitely investigate with all their strength."

The prince's acquisition of the picture scroll caused an uproar, and a secret contest was about to begin again.The emperor's two sons were not born to the same mother. The prince's mother died early, and the second prince's mother is the current empress, the queen. The queen's background is not prominent, only because she is good at singing and dancing, and looks good. She is the emperor's favorite concubine. After the death of the previous empress, the emperor rejected all opinions and made her his queen.

She is also a very wise person, and the emperor trusts her very much.It's just that the crown prince was established early, and the emperor also knew the prince's temperament. He thought that he might not have a mother, so he still favored him. Sometimes he felt that he was extreme, but he didn't make any big mistakes. After all, he was his own son. It doesn't matter so much! "
