Second marriage to the regent

"Are you hurt?" Tang Zhili touched her arm with his free hand and asked with concern.

In recent days, his concern for himself has really gradually increased.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Su Junxi asked.

Tang Zhili responded with a smile: "I'm fine."

He then looked at the corpse lying on the ground and sighed: "These people have been doing whatever they want in Kyoto. Why has no one in the imperial court found out about this matter?"

He resented the incompetence of the imperial court, but he was also one of them. Did he get rid of everything?
Su Junxi said sarcastically: "How can the imperial court care about this? They are busy fighting among themselves!"

Tang Zhili looked at her strangely after hearing this. He wanted to ask something but he forgot about it when he opened his mouth.

Seeing his mouth opening and closing, Su Junxi asked curiously: "What does the Marquis want to ask?"

"It's nothing, let's go back home." Tang Zhili shook his head and pulled her back home.

Tang Zhili took her back to the opera house and left in a hurry.

Yingshi came in with tea and looked at Su Junxi staring at the window in a daze, and asked, "Miss, are you tired?"

She and Yan'er were at home taking care of the old lady, so they didn't follow the team and didn't have time to ask about the situation when they came back.

She stood up and walked to the bookshelf behind her and started rummaging around to see if there was anything about how to make incense, but she couldn't find it after searching around.

Seeing that Su Junxi didn't respond to her, thinking she was too tired to hear, Yingshi asked again: "What book are you looking for, young lady? I will help you find it!"

She shook her head and refused: "No need, just can't find it."

She sat back on her seat and asked, "How is the old lady doing? Can she eat?"

I heard early this morning that the old lady was still unwilling to eat. Many people tried to persuade her but it was useless. Su Junxi originally wanted Tang Zhili to persuade her, but something had just happened to him. He should have gone to the palace to face the Holy Spirit when he left. She could only go forward.

"For some reason, the old lady started eating after kneeling in the ancestral hall for an hour. Maybe she was thinking." Yingshi felt strange. It was useless for anyone to say it, but after kneeling in the ancestral hall for an hour, the old lady started eating. When I think about it, I still think it's quite magical.

Seemingly saving a thing, she got up and walked out of the house. Yingshi hurriedly chased after her. Just when she was about to ask her where she was going, Su Junxi said, "Don't follow me. I'm going out soon." Come back soon."

But how could Yingshi trust Su Junxi to go out alone, so she wanted to chase her out, but there was a voice calling her from behind.

"Sister Yingshi, the old lady is looking for you, come quickly!"

Yingshi had no choice but to stay: "Oh, here we come!"

After leaving the Hou's Mansion, she came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

She stepped forward and wanted to tell the guard and let him go in to talk to Li Junyi, but as soon as she went up, the guard said: "Miss Su, please."

Su Junxi was a little surprised, but walked in anyway.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, a maid led her to where Li Junyi was.

Li Junyi was looking at the landscape paintings in the study at this time. When he saw her coming, he called her over: "How about taking a look at this landscape painting by me?"

"Did you draw it?" Su Junxi asked casually.

The painting is a deep mountain scene with overlapping ridges. In this landscape painting, extremely delicate brushstrokes depict the texture of the mountain peaks and the outlines of the leaves vividly. This exquisite painting technique is amazing.

"The magnificence of the mountains and rivers and the shimmering colors of the water make this landscape painting more vivid and lifelike." Su Junxi admired his work very much.

After hearing this, Li Junyi smiled with satisfaction, put away the painting, and asked: "Tell me, why do you come to see me?"

It's rare to come to visit someone on your own initiative, so you can imagine that it's not for yourself.

Su Junxi didn't mince words and asked, "Is there a fragrance in your house that is hard for others to notice, but can still be smelled by you?"

After hearing this, Li Junyi paused and asked her, "Why are you looking for this incense?" "Of course it has my use." She didn't want to say more.

He didn't ask any further questions and just ordered someone to fetch the things.

"Go get Qianli Xiang." Li Junyi turned to Li Yi and ordered.

Only then did Su Junxi notice Li Yi waiting outside the door. She hadn't seen him when she came. He was really an elusive guy.

She sat down before Li Junyi could speak and asked again, "Do you remember the woman in blue that you met in Pingyang County?"

"Remember." He replied.

"I met her today, and there was a woman in red with me." She said while observing Li Junyi's expression.

Li Junyi asked: "Do you think he is the king?"

She nodded and asked, "Isn't it?"

"No. I only have that idiot Li Yi next to me." Li Junyi commented behind his back.

Li Yi happened to come in with something and heard Li Junyi's words.

Li Yi, who was called a fool, didn't dare to say a word, just put the things on the table and stepped back.

Su Junxi opened the box. There was a small box inside. When she opened it, she saw that it was filled with white medicinal powder. However, she got closer and smelled it. There was no scent at all, so she looked at Li Junyi with doubts.

Is this kid kidding himself?
Li Junyi saw her suspicion and explained: "This Thousand Miles of Spicy is different from ordinary spices. It needs your blood as a primer to be effective."

"That means only I can smell it, right?" If that's the case, then she really came to the right place today.

Li Junyi did not respond, which was regarded as acquiescence.

He saw that Su Junxi was very happy to see this thing, so he asked her: "What should you do as a reward?"

"There are countless rare treasures in the prince's house, are they still lacking?" Su Junxi felt that this man seemed dissatisfied.

Li Junyi was very confused: "Do you want to have sex for nothing with me?"

"Can't you?" Su Junxi didn't know where she had the confidence to say this.

Seeing the two arguing, Li Yi intervened: "The palace has many treasures, but there is still one short treasure."

"What treasure?" Su Junxi looked confused.

Li Yi glanced at Li Junyi, then at Su Junxi, and bravely said, "The palace lacks a mistress."

"Oh, what does that have to do with my search for this medicine?" In order to prevent Li Junyi from regretting it, Su Junxi had quietly put away the medicine.

Li Junyi was not in a hurry, but just gave a reminder: "I am not in a hurry. After you and Tang Zhili are reconciled, it will not be too late for me to go to Anguo Gong's Mansion to propose marriage."

Su Junxi, who was just about to get up and leave, heard Li Junyi's words. Her body seemed to be pressed by a boulder, unable to move. She looked at him in horror: "How did you know that I wanted to reconcile with him?"

"Are you unable to grasp the point or are you just pretending to be stupid?" Li Junyi was a little angry but did not dare to get angry at her.

Su Junxi, who had come back to her senses, didn't believe what he said, and said, "You, a majestic prince, don't have any kind of woman, and you just use me to make fun of me. Is that interesting?"

Although it was true that she wanted to reconcile with Tang Zhili, she couldn't be teased about it.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. I'm just saying hello to you in advance." Li Junyi's eyes never left her for a moment.

She stood up and left: "I am not interested in the position of the princess. The prince should find someone else."

Watching her leave, Li Junyi wondered, could he, a prince, be inferior to a mere marquis?
Li Yi was stunned on the spot, and suddenly said: "If you are not interested in the position of princess, do you want to be the queen?" (End of Chapter)
