Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

The personal guards of Prince Yu's Mansion are well-trained, and all of them are skilled, but they can't stand the crowd of villagers, and they all fight desperately.

Fortunately, Li Ji arrived in time with his people.

With their help, the people from Prince Yu's Mansion quickly gained the upper hand.

The villagers were dead, wounded and injured, unable to resist any more, and finally had no choice but to catch them without a fight.

The rain gradually diminished.

The guards of Prince Yu's Mansion began to clean up the scene.

Inside the house, Hua Manman was sitting by the window wrapped in a blanket.

Ban Ren stood silently in the corner.

Mr. Du is reporting to Li Ji what happened just now.

"This group of villagers should not be ordinary people. I suspect that they are a group of bandits hiding here. The prince can ask someone to investigate."

Li Ji answered absently, and glanced at the person sitting by the window from the corner of his eye.

Jiao Gui walked in with a tray.

She distributed the freshly brewed ginger tea to everyone.

Li Ji took the ginger tea, but didn't drink it, but put it on the table next to him.

Hua Manman took the tea bowl from Jiao Gui.

Jiao Gui reminded.

"Be careful it's hot."

Hua Manman blew on the ginger tea, then leaned over and drank it in small sips.

At this moment, she suddenly heard the regent's question.

"Are you the eldest son of Prince Yu's Mansion?"

The voice was cold and hard.

Hua Manman trembled in fright, and almost spilled the ginger tea in the bowl.

Jiao Gui hurriedly took the tea bowl and asked with concern.

"You're not burning, are you?"

Hua Manman shook her head: "I'm fine."

Mr. Du introduced at the right time: "My lord, this is indeed the eldest son of our palace."

Unexpectedly, Li Ji glanced at him coldly.

"The king didn't ask you."

Mr. Du had no choice but to shut up, and looked at Shi Ziye with a look of "you wish for happiness".

Hua Manman could see that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent was not an easy master to get along with.

She didn't dare to be disrespectful, she stood up and bowed to the other party.

"I'm Lu Man from Prince Yu's Mansion, thank you His Royal Highness the Prince Regent for saving me just now."

Li Ji sized her up from the beginning to the end, and his eyes finally stayed on her face.

Her appearance is somewhat similar to Manman's, but not quite the same.

Li Ji couldn't be sure if the other party was the one he was looking for.

he asked looking into each other's eyes.

"It was you who wrote to me asking for help?"

Hua Manman didn't know why the other party asked this question.

She nodded obediently.

"Um."

Even with the other party's own acknowledgment, Li Ji still couldn't fully believe what the other party said.

Many people know that he misses the dead princess madly, and tries his best to bring the princess back to life. For this reason, he will do anything.

Many people have taken advantage of this loophole over the years.

She wanted to take advantage of his concern for Manman, deliberately approach him, gain his trust, and then manipulate his words and deeds.

Fortunately, Li Ji has the ability to read minds.

He could see clearly what those people were thinking.

Anyone who tried to use Manman to get close to him was dealt with neatly by him.

With so many lessons learned, Li Ji became more and more defensive.

But it is impossible for him to give up the clues related to Manman.

Therefore, he must carefully identify the authenticity of anyone who may be involved with Manman, and will never give the other party a chance to fish in troubled waters.

Li Ji asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and put it in front of Lu Man.

"You just write a poem and show it to me."

Hua Manman was stunned.

Write, write what poem?

Li Ji urged impatiently.

"Any poem is fine, write it quickly!"

Hua Manman still wants to shirk.

However, the next moment he saw the man pull out the sword from his waist.

The blade of the sword shone coldly, and it stuck to Hua Manman's neck.

Li Ji looked at her coldly, with murderous intent in his tone.

"Write!"

Jiaogui was trembling with fright.

Mr. Du immediately said: "My lord, please be merciful!"

Ban Ren has also put on a posture, ready to save people at any time.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.

It seemed that someone's blood would be splashed on the spot in the next moment.

Hua Manman said hastily.

"I write, I write! I can't write!"

She picked up the brush and wrote two lines without thinking about it——

Losing weight is contradictory,

Cooking food means doing what it says.

After finishing writing, she threw the brush aside, and sat back in her original position with her head in her arms, like a large quail.

It's not that she can't write poetry.

Of the 300 Tang poems, not to mention every capital, I can at least remember two or three.

But if someone asked her where did she read the poems?

She couldn't answer.

She couldn't have the cheek to say that the poem was written by herself.

We can only use her previous personal signature to deal with it.

Li Ji put the sword back into its sheath.

He looked at the two lines on the paper and fell into a long silence.

Whether it is handwriting or this indescribable talent for poetry, there is a strong sense of familiarity.

Mr. Du was very curious and couldn't help leaning over to take a look.

When he saw the content on the paper clearly, his expression became quite subtle, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

After a long time, Li Ji spoke again.

The voice was a little deeper than before, and there were more complex meanings in it that could not be explained clearly.

"What are you doing with your head down?"

Hua Manman made up a reason indiscriminately: "I have a huge brain pain."

When the crisis was resolved, Jiao Gui came back to his senses and hurriedly expressed concern.

"Did you get sick from the cold? This servant will find a doctor for you."

Hua Manman hurriedly grabbed her.

"No need."

If the doctor came, her excuse would be wiped out immediately.

Life is already so difficult, some things should not be exposed.

At this moment she raised her head, and Li Ji could finally see her eyes.

Li Ji took the opportunity to ask.

"Who did you learn this word from?"

He stared into the other's eyes, waiting for the other's answer.

Hua Manman thought to himself, how do I know who I learned from? Is it impossible for Lao Tzu to be born? !

She pretended to be well-behaved and honest.

"Sorry, I don't remember either."

Jiao Gui helped explain: "My son's head was injured, and I can't remember many things after waking up. I hope His Royal Highness the Regent will forgive me."

Li Ji frowned: "Have you lost your memory?"

Hua Manman nodded like pounding garlic.

"Yeah, yeah, I lost my memory!"

So stop asking me weird questions.

I really can't answer it!

No matter what Li Ji asked next, Hua Manman would always answer like I don't know or don't remember.

She clings to the excuse of amnesia and refuses to let go.

Li Ji's interrogation didn't come to an end until the personal guard ran in and said that the outside had been cleaned up.

It was already dark at this time, and they could only temporarily spend the night in the village.

Hua Manman changed into clean clothes.

She lay on the bed, staring at the beams above her in a daze.

The moment the Prince Regent appeared today, her heart beat extremely violently.

It seems that something is about to break through the shackles and break out of the cocoon.

That feeling was so strange that she couldn't understand why.

Did she fall in love with the Prince Regent at first sight?

But it's not right.

After that, her heartbeat returned to normal, and she didn't feel like blushing and tense when facing the regent.

It doesn't look like she has moved her heart at all.

Hua Manman was puzzled.

Forget it.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Worry about tomorrow, worry about tomorrow.

Get some sleep first!
