Chapter 109 Too Girly
Li Yaozu looked up at the sky in silence.
Wu Wencang said, "These ministers have dominated government for over a decade now, purging all dissidents from the court. They can do whatever they want. Your Majesty has no one to turn to in the court. Who else can stand up for your Majesty and speak for justice?"
"Awu," Li Yaozu closed his eyes, "Now, you are the only one I can trust."
"A husband and wife are one. As the Queen of Heaven, I must do my utmost to assist Your Majesty and make you praised by all the people of the world."
Li Yaozu sighed deeply and said no more.
The sigh was quickly swallowed up by the wind and snow, turning into scattered drops that drifted across the vast sky and earth.
Chen Gongzheng's case was still pending, and the Empress Dowager suggested that the case be handed over to the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Censorate for joint trial to prevent the possibility of further abuse of punishment.
When the emperor heard this, he nodded in agreement.
Ren Baozhi was in a coma for two whole days and only regained some consciousness on the third day. As soon as she woke up, she heard faint voices of conversation in her ears, which seemed to be related to her.
Her whole body was in severe pain, and she didn't dare to move at all, for fear of hurting any wound and causing another round of bleeding.
She pretended not to be awake, and in fact her disguise was very good, because she felt like she was going to faint from the pain again.
But she can't faint, she still needs to eavesdrop.
Ren Baozhi wanted to pinch her thigh, but suddenly realized that there was not a single piece of good flesh on her body. She moved her fingers slightly and then quietly put them back in place.
Li Qixi noticed Ren Baozhi's movements with her sharp eyes, but pretended not to notice. She deliberately mentioned Goshawk's name: "Cangying, have you made arrangements with Chen Gaojie?"
Sure enough, Ren Baozhi's fingers clenched slightly. Is this the goshawk that has been following her?
Even Li Qixi could sense the action, so Goshawk naturally knew it too.
However, she saw that Li Qixi had no intention of avoiding mentioning Ren Baozhi, so she continued, "Chen Gaojie was drinking wine in Pingkangfang that night, and Si Jiangchou had already made arrangements to ensure that neither of them knew anything about Chen Gongzheng's case and would not reveal a single detail."
"Well, what about the man in black that night? What was her purpose?"
When he heard about the man in black, Ren Baozhi suddenly felt the wound on his neck begin to ache again. That man in black was a dog, and his bite was really heavy!
Li Qixi remained calm and glanced at Ren Baozhi out of the corner of his eye.
"Princess, please forgive me. The man in black moved very quickly. I was not paying attention and lost track of him."
"Okay, I understand. I should practice hard when I get back."
"As you wish." Goshawk said, then stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute," Li Qixi stopped her, "You haven't even apologized to Madam Chen yet, and you're leaving now?"
"This..." The strong female figure of the goshawk stood still like a wooden sculpture.
"Go quickly."
"Yes." She, Cang Ying, had never apologized to anyone except the princess in her life.
She walked to the bed with a halting step, as if she was about to go to the guillotine. "Please forgive me, Madam Chen. Goshawk will never follow me again."
Ren Baozhi hasn't opened her eyes yet. What's going on? Has her perfect acting skills been seen through?
Li Qixi couldn't bear to watch Ren Baozhi's trembling eyelashes. "Open your eyes quickly! If you keep pretending like this, the hawk's back will break."
Well, it seems that her acting skills are still not good enough. If she continues to pretend, she will only look more stupid, so she opened her eyes, but turned her head away and didn't look at Li Qixi.
Although Li Qixi helped her deal with the corpse, saved her life, and made Chen Gaojie and Si Jiangchou keep their mouths shut, she still hadn't forgiven Li Qixi.
Li Qixi knew that she was still angry, so he signaled Cang Ying with his eyes to continue apologizing.
"Please forgive me, Madam Chen." Goshawk bent his waist and saluted again, bending his waist even lower.
Ren Baozhi then slowly turned her head towards the goshawk, and at one glance, she fell in love with him.
With her tall stature, strong muscles, and fierce aura, one can tell at a glance that she is very skilled. The reason why such a sister followed her was all because of Li Qixi's orders, and she had no choice. What did Sister Cang Ying do wrong?
Well, that's right, Ren Baozhi is such an unprincipled person. She has no resistance to strong and big women.
Although the goshawk lowered its head, it could feel the burning gaze of Ren Baozhi. She had always been observing others in secret, but had never been observed in such a way.
She raised her head stiffly and met Ren Baozhi's eyes that seemed to be drooling.
She was so scared that she quickly lowered her head.
Seeing that Goshawk wasn't looking at her, Ren Baozhi got anxious and said with a thick tongue, "Sister, look at me! I can do radio gymnastics!"
Goshawk had followed countless people, but even she had never seen such an unrestrained woman.
Cold sweat oozed from her forehead. She tried to keep her voice steady: "Mrs. Chen, have you forgiven me?"
Seeing her sincere request for forgiveness, Ren Baozhi took a closer look at her figure and said, "If you promise me one thing, I will forgive you."
"What's the matter?"
"Sister Cang Ying, you're so amazing, could you please teach me some reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance techniques?" Ren Baozhi said shamelessly. She never wanted to be followed again. "How about it? Teach me and I'll forgive you."
"This..." Cang Ying was unsure and turned to look at Li Qixi. Seeing Li Qixi nod slightly, he agreed, "When your injury is healed, I will find time to teach you."
"Sister," Ren Baozhi said with tears in her eyes, "from now on you are my biological sister, and I won't allow anyone to disobey you."
Upon hearing this, Goshawk quickened his pace as he walked out of Chang'an Palace and disappeared in a moment.
Although they had already left Chang'an Palace, Ren Baozhi was still staring blankly at the place where Goshawk had left: "Too effeminate."
Li Qixi waved a hand in front of Ren Baozhi and sat on the side of the bed. "Shall we talk?"
"Oh." Ren Baozhiying was a little absent-minded. As long as he thought about the one-on-one teaching and tutoring with Sister Cangying in the future, he would burst into laughter.
Li Qixi saw her infatuated look and knew that she must be thinking about Goshawk again. He had never noticed her being in this state when meeting a woman before. "Don't you want to know what I learned while Goshawk was following you?"
Ren Baozhi could probably guess what it was, but she still wanted to hear Li Qixi say it herself: "You say it."
"You can conjure an object out of thin air."
"Ah."
"White bedding."
"That's a duvet."
"A pink cloth bag."
"That's a hot water bottle."
"It can see exquisite objects from a great distance."
"That's a telescope."
“I’ve never heard of any of this.”
"Of course."
Please, she is the only one and only book-traveling person in this world.
If Li Qixi knew these things, Ren Baozhi would be shocked.
"Then, can you tell me why you can conjure these objects out of thin air?"
