Chapter 48 Forget That Him
Lee House
The housekeeper led the two women dressed as maids all the way to the wing room in the backyard, and finally stopped in front of a room door.

He reached out and knocked on the door, and shouted outside, "My lord, are you awake?"

There was a slight coughing sound in the room, accompanied by a voice, "Come in if you have something to do."

The butler pushed the door open, brought two maids into the room, and then closed the door.

Inside the room, Li Yu was wearing a white tunic, lying on the bed with disheveled hair, probably because he had stayed in the room for too long without seeing the sun, and his face was slightly pale and bloodless.

His indifferent eyes glanced at the two maids, then looked away.

"Is this the new maid in the house? Why hasn't she been added before?"

Before the housekeeper spoke, one of the women in a blue dress said coldly, "It's me."

Hearing this voice, Li Yu paused, and turned his head to look at the woman who spoke seriously.

Half a moment later, Li Yu pointed at the woman with a look of surprise, "You... Yingying, why did you leave the palace?"

"Let's talk somewhere else."

"Okay, come with me."

The room Li Yu lived in was connected to the study next door, with only a door in between, but it was soundproofed.

Sometimes Li Yu was late handling business in the study, and felt that the way back to the room was too long, so he moved directly to the room next to the study.

In the study, Li Yu took a light green robe and put it on, tied up her hair casually, and said with a smile, "It's no surprise Yingying, I haven't gone out for a few days, so I don't bother to clean up myself."

Zhu Ying found a clean place to sit down, and glanced at him indifferently, "Master Li is really lazy."

Li Yu chuckled, and immediately asked with a serious face, "Yingying ventured out of the palace to find me, but why?"

Zhu Ying explained the purpose of coming, and said Wushuangge's reply together, and then expressed her inner doubts.

Li Yu said frankly: "It is indeed me. But..." He paused, sat opposite Zhu Ying, poured a cup of tea, and took a sip.

Zhu Ying asked eagerly, "But what?"

Li Yu said, "But for this assassination, I wanted to kill both Kong Tan and the regent. It's just a pity that I couldn't kill Kong Tan and was almost discovered."

When talking about Jiang Huai, Li Yu's eyes flicked across her body intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to see some expression on her face.

And Zhu Ying's face indeed had a flash of doubt and nervousness quickly.

Li Yu squeezed the cup slightly harder.

She still cares about Jiang Huai in her heart.

"Why did you attack Jianghuai?" Zhu Ying asked.

Li Yu smiled coldly, "This is what the third prince meant."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying was shocked.

Li Yu poured a cup of tea for her, moved to her opposite, and said in a flat tone: "Yingying, I have been under surveillance during this period, so you should not come here in the future. If it gets to Jianghuai, it will be between you and me." I'm afraid we will never see each other again."

Zhu Ying was shocked again, her eyebrows frowned, "You...are you being watched by people from Jianghuai?"

Li Yu nodded.

There was a moment of silence in the study.

After a long time, Zhu Ying stood up and walked back without saying a word.

Suddenly, someone hugged her from behind, and almost exhausted all his strength to hold her tightly in his arms, and his soft voice rang in his ears.

"Every time I see you nervous about him, I feel really uncomfortable."

"Yingying, don't think about Jiang Huai. After all these years, haven't I been good enough to you?"
