On the other side, Qiu Qianshen presented a book to Wang Xianwei to confirm the fact that Mrs. Tian bought a murderer to kill her, while on the other side, Qiu Li, as a daughter, desperately begged for her mother to come to Yan Wang's house.

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..." It was different from being greeted to the Palace of King Yan in the past.Today's Fifth Lady Qiu was alone, without even a personal maid, standing alone at the gate of King Yan's Mansion, slamming on the gate of the Palace.

After waiting for a while, someone finally came and opened a small door on the side.It was an unfamiliar servant who opened the door.Obviously, the servant didn't recognize who she was either.He looked Qiu Li up and down a few times, and then hesitantly asked, "What's your business?"

Qiu Li had never been treated like this in the Prince Yan's Mansion. She suppressed the resentment in her heart and tried to make her expression amiable: "The little girl's surname is Qiu, and she is the fifth lady of the Qiu Mansion in Shanchun Hall in Chang'an. I have something important to ask to see."

The servant didn't seem to believe it, he didn't open the door to let her in immediately, but told her to wait outside, then he closed the door and went back to report.

The moment the side door of the palace closed, Qiu Li turned her head away, tears of grievance rolled down her cheeks.

She has always been a proud person, and she also has capital to be proud of.Shanchuntang is also one of the most century-old medical clinics in Chang'an. As the daughter of Qiu Qianshen, the leader of Shanchuntang, she has a clean family background, is loved by her parents, and has a good appearance and figure. In Chang'an City, where there are many ladies from famous families, the name of Mrs. Qiu Wu is also very famous.

But now, she came to see King Yan in such a lowly way, not only was she ignored by a servant at the door, but the servant even opened a profile to talk to her, which really made her feel extremely humiliated.

But thinking of her mother's desolate and desolate appearance in prison, Qiu Li straightened her back again, took deep breaths, and encouraged herself to persevere.

How mother usually cherishes and protects herself, now, if she refuses to save her because she can't save face for a while, then she is really an unfilial daughter.

Fortunately, Qiu Li only waited for about half a cup of tea, and the side door of Prince Yan's Mansion slowly opened again.This time, the person Qiu Li was familiar with came out, and it was Li Dan, the old housekeeper of Prince Yan's Mansion.

"Fifth Qiu! Why did you come here by yourself? You didn't pass a letter to the old slave in advance..." Li Dan came forward in a panic, walking forward without forgetting to scold the servant who opened the door for Qiu Li just now. No wink.

"You don't have long eyes, even Mrs. Qiu Wu can't recognize you. You are blind and have dog eyes. When the prince comes back, you won't sell it..."

The servant quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.Qiu Li didn't want to spend too much time on these little people, she bowed to Li Dan, and asked eagerly: "Ah Weng, is the prince at the house? I...I have something urgent to find him."

Li Dan heard the words, but frowned and shook his head: "Oh, it's not a coincidence for Mrs. Qiu Wu to come. The prince and princess have entered the palace, and they won't be able to come back in a while. If the lady is in a hurry to find the prince, why don't you stay at the mansion for a while?" Wait a moment? It is estimated that the prince will come back in a few hours. "

"My lord is not here..." Qiu Li felt uncomfortable when he heard that Li You accompanied his concubine into the palace.Didn't she already know that he has a concubine?It can be seen that there is a difference between knowing what you know and listening to others.

Qiu Li forced herself to swallow the bitterness in her throat, thinking about her mother is the most important thing now.She couldn't delay any longer, she had to see Li You today no matter what.

Thinking of this, Qiu Li managed to squeeze out a smile: "Since that's the case, I'll trouble you to arrange it."

"Okay! Okay!... Fifth Lady, please!" Li Dan nodded and bowed, leading Qiu Li to the wing room in the inner courtyard of King Yan's Mansion.His attitude became more respectful and warm, and there was no trace of negligence at all.

Qiu Li calmed down, she understood that the attitude of the servant depends on the attitude of the master.Now Li Dan is respectful to him, which shows that he still has weight in Li You's heart.

It's okay, it's okay... Qiu Li gritted her teeth secretly, the prince still puts her mind at ease.As long as she can seize the opportunity and regain the prince's favor, she won't have to worry about not being able to save her mother.

Even if she wanted to return to her original, well-clothed and enviable life, it was not impossible.

Thinking of this, Qiu Li's face finally returned to its previous expression.She followed behind Li Dan, and her steps became much lighter.

Li Dan brought Qiu Li to an exquisite attic.Qiu Li looked up and saw a plaque with the three characters "Yanyu Pavilion" hanging on the pavilion.Li Dan stood still, turned around, and bowed to Qiu Li: "Fifth lady, please wait here a moment, when the prince returns to the mansion, this old slave will report to the prince as soon as possible."

"Thank you, old man." Qiu Li nodded with a smile, her voice was as soft and sweet as a jewel dropped on a plate.

"The old slave will leave." Li Dan bowed again, then turned and left.

Qiu Li stepped into the Yanyu Pavilion, and saw that the attic was magnificently decorated, with precious calligraphy, paintings, and ornaments everywhere, just like a birdcage inlaid with pearls and gems, only the most beautiful and noble birds are worthy of it. into this cage.

Is she the bird?

Qiu Li looked around for a moment, then walked to a seat by the window and sat down, stroking the neatly arranged tea sets on the table with her fingers, quietly waiting for Li You to arrive.

It's just that she didn't notice that there was a small hole for people to spy on the hidden part of the wall opposite the chair she was sitting on just now.At this time, there was an eye in the hole staring at her closely.

The owner of this eye is Li You.

In fact, Li You did not enter the palace.Ever since he went to Luoyang with Tang Huang, he was picked on by the emperor along the way, making him uncomfortable in various ways.After finally making it back to Chang'an, he vowed to avoid his father for a while, so he stayed in Yan Wang's mansion and never went anywhere.At this time, he was hiding in the dark room next to the attic where Qiu Li was, watching the beauty's every move with great interest.

"My lord, Mrs. Fifth Qiu is here. When do you want to see her?" Li Dan asked respectfully, stepping in from the entrance of the dark room.

Li You raised his hand, signaling him not to speak.

Li Dan kept silent, not daring to disturb.Li You continued to peep at Qiu Li in the attic with viciousness, and saw that she could sit dignifiedly and gracefully at the table and wait patiently at the beginning, but after a stick of incense, Qiu Li began to fidget.She got up and paced around, and after a few laps, she finally stopped.Her two slender hands touched her face, and then rubbed it vigorously, her lips were constantly moving, as if she was muttering something.

Although Li You couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, it could be seen from her series of actions that she was very anxious now and wanted to see him soon.

He withdrew his gaze from Qiu Li, turned around and gestured to Li Dan, and the two left the dark room together.

"Don't worry..." Li You didn't answer the question the butler just asked until now.

He said slowly: "Let her wait until it's almost time."
