About the fact that the heir of Huajian School is a girl

Li Qingcha doesn't think so.

She cupped her hands.

"I understand what your Highness means. Unfortunately, I am now a marquis and have no real position in the outer court. The decision on the Crown Prince's regent should be made by the Grand Secretary and the Ministry of Rites, so I cannot have a say."

The second prince's expression froze, and he cursed inwardly, "You little fox."

Who doesn't know Li Qingcha's importance in the court?

He said: "Your Excellency is a man of high moral character and not greedy for power. He is truly a model official. However, in times of national crisis, those who have the responsibility should be brave enough to..."

He had only said half of his words when the door of the warm room was suddenly pushed open by the prince.

"Bring a basin of water!"

The palace servants waiting in the outer hall immediately took action.

The prince did not enter the house immediately.

He glanced around and his sight fell on Li Qingcha, the Second Prince and Si Rou. He seemed to be indifferent, but in fact he was full of investigation.

The sudden change made the second prince shut his mouth immediately, and his expression looked more uncomfortable than if he had eaten something.

These two brothers...

Li Qingcha sneered in his heart and bowed to the Second Prince.

"I will take my leave first."

Chapter 618 This Palace

Li Qingcha and Sirou leave the Qianqing Palace.

The sky was already bright, the sun was high in the sky, slowly dispelling the chill of the night.

Apparently, it's already past noon.

Sirou lowered her head.

"Come, I have something to tell you."

She turned and walked towards the Meridian Palace.

During the entire process, he never raised his eyes to look at Li Qingcha, or made any eye contact with Li Qingcha.

Li Qingcha just thought that the princess was worried that there were eavesdroppers, so although he was surprised, he did not argue too much and quickly followed Sirou's figure.

The two came to Ziwu Palace.

When the palace maids saw Li Qingcha, they all showed surprise.

"Master Li is finally back."

"What do you mean 'Master Li'? He is now the Marquis of Wuding, you should call him 'Marquis'."

"Well... no matter what you call me, just come back, so that Your Highness won't lose his appetite."

……

These people are really gossipy.

Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜

She whispered, "You don't care about them?"

Si Rou didn't reply, but turned around and glared at Li Qingcha, with some resentment, as if complaining: "You have the courage to do it, but you don't allow others to talk about it?"

This was the first time the two looked at each other since they met today.

Her Royal Highness was stunned for a moment, then looked away.

"Come quickly."

After saying that, she entered the main hall of Ziwu Palace and then went into the study.

Li Qingcha followed.

As soon as she entered the room, her eyes widened in astonishment, because the study was not tidy at all.

The floor isn't very dirty, but it's messy.

The teacups on the table were placed randomly, various manuscripts were crumpled into balls and scattered all over the floor, the cushions were in disarray, various classics were scattered here and there, and the entire desk was a mess.

The only things that survived were the four treasures of the study, which neatly occupied a corner of the desk.

Looking at this situation, one can feel the confusion of the study owner's mood.

Li Qingcha sighed.

"Si Rou..."

As a result, he was interrupted as soon as he called out to the other party.

Sirou said, “Number seven?”

Li Qingcha was stunned for a moment, then he felt relieved.

After Bu Yan told the group about the emperor's serious illness, number seven kept asking number one about what was happening in the palace, as if he knew for sure that number one was a member of the palace.

From this point, we can also judge that No. 7 is not the seventh prince, otherwise he would not ask so many questions.

Moreover, Li Qingcha immediately put aside the matter of the demon clan and rushed back to the capital. It can be basically concluded that she is a member of the group.

After comprehensive consideration, Sirou came to the conclusion:

Li Qingcha = Number 7.

Her Royal Highness folded her arms, leaned back, and leaned on the edge of the table.

This seems like a defensive posture.

Li Qingcha looked at her, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Suddenly, two lines of tears slid down Sirou's cheeks.

She lowered her head,

"Qingcha, I'm so tired. My father is seriously ill, the intrigue between my elder brother and the second brother is getting worse, and the queen is entangled with the grandmother. Everyone in the harem is in danger..."

At this moment, Sirou, who is always elegant and brave, showed her weak side.

She acted indifferent in front of Li Qingcha just now, but it was actually a protective color.

Li Qingcha felt a little distressed.

She walked over and held the girl in her arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm back."

Sirou buried her head in Li Qingcha's arms, as if she was ashamed of her weakness just now. She rubbed her head against Li Qingcha's clothes to wipe away her tears.

She continued: “Actually, I’m conflicted.”

Li Qingcha did not answer.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Silence reigned.

Ugh……

Sirou sighed deeply.

"In the coming period, there will be constant strife inside and outside the palace. After the disputes arise, you, the newly promoted Marquis of Wuding, cannot remain immune. So I am very conflicted. I want you to come back, but I am also worried that things will become more complicated after you come back."

Li Qingcha smiled.

"Are you worried that I can't defeat them?"

"How could it be?! Our Lord is very cunning and treacherous. You are the only one who can bite others. How can others embarrass you?"

"So what are you worried about?"

White silk is not allowed to ride on my sister.

Si Rou was silent,

a long time,

"I'm worried that you'll become like my elder and second brothers, using whatever means necessary to achieve your goals."

Li Qingcha looked at Sirou deeply, but didn't say anything teasing like "You have so little confidence in me?"

Sirou had been in the palace for a long time, and all the things she had experienced, whether from hearsay or from her own eyes, had made her firmly believe in the alienation of power over people. It was no wonder that she had such worries.

However, she didn't know that Li Qingcha's soul came from the modern era. Although the temptation of imperial power was great, it was not as great as she imagined.

What's more, Li Qingcha is now a high-level cultivator, and some of his inner pursuits have changed.

She said, "Si Rou, I am now a third-rank official."

Sirou was a little slow to react.

"The Marquis has no real position in the outer court, so where does he come from... um... the third rank you are talking about is the third rank monk?"

"Ah."

"When we first met, what rank were you at? Were you ninth rank?"

"Ah."

Si Rou:!!!

Although she is not a cultivator, she still has some common sense about cultivation. In less than a year, she went from the ninth rank to the third rank. She can no longer be described as a "genius", but a "freak".

goo...

Her Royal Highness the Princess swallowed her saliva.

"Have you... um... ever been a monk in history who could do this?"

Li Qingcha pondered.

"some."

"Who?"

“A Confucian sage ascends to heaven in one step, achieving transcendence with a mortal body.”

This sentence made Si Rougan silent.

Li Qingcha compared himself to the Confucian sage. His ambition was so high that no normal person would think of it.

This guy is so stinky~

Sirou was dissatisfied.

"I think you're just showing off."

Li Qingcha shook his head.

"I just want to tell you that I won't change. Because one day I might be able to reach super-quality status and leave a lasting legacy, so I don't care about material things at all."

"Then am I 'something outside of myself'?"

"Of course not. We are so close that we even had negative distance contact. It should be considered as 'body belongings'."

"You! @#*￥%..."

Sirou's face flushed, and she reached out and punched Li Qingcha's chest.

As a result, attacking the tablet with a punch was like hitting a rock with an egg, and Her Royal Highness the Princess had both hands caught by Li Qingcha.

The two looked at each other.

After all, they hadn't seen each other for such a long time. Sirou thought she would be flustered, but now, she found that she just wanted to look at each other carefully and enjoy the tranquility and comfort of this moment.

She is finally back.

It feels so good to have her around.

Sirou suddenly said, "I am not conflicted now."
