Chapter 269 Talk

Ever since Chu Li left Lanxi Garden that day, she never came back.

Ten days passed in a flash.

Shen Qingyan took care of the shop, and the business was good. He sold forty boxes of cream every day, and then he called off work and went to Murong Feng to learn how to do business.

Xia Zhi would come to the shop occasionally, and even handed him the recipe for making the cream, asking him to hire someone to make it.

If this momentum continues, there is no way for her to expand the business by herself.

These days, she is still investigating Xu Xiaoshu's case.

What is puzzling is that there is still no clue about the murderer.

What Xia Zhi does most every day is to stay in the Lanxi Garden, thinking and dazed.

Because Chu Li sent people to guard the yard, as long as she went out, someone would follow her, wherever she went, that person would follow her, completely ignoring her wishes.

Sometimes when Xia Zhi got angry, he would give the attendant a cold look, and sometimes he would scold him a few times, trying to scold him away, but the attendant ignored him and followed like a dumb man.

"Song side concubine, the lord has ordered: Wherever you go, we will follow you. If you lose, we will take our heads. I also ask Song side concubine to be considerate of the little ones, and don't make things difficult for the little ones."

What else can Xia Zhi say? !

He could only secretly call Chu Li a jerk.

She also wanted to go to Huitangxuan to find Chu Li, but she couldn't save face, so she kept muddling around like this.

When You Lan took her into the palace, she was still thinking about whether to talk to Chu Li today.

Even if two people can't be husband and wife, they can still be friends...

Wouldn't it be a good thing that she moved out of Prince Li's mansion and no longer spent his money? !

Unexpectedly, the queen sent someone to pick her up in person.

Xia Zhi followed You Lan into the Duanyang Hall, and bowed in a proper manner: "See empress empress."

"Your Majesty is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."

The queen looked at her with a smile in her eyes, she came over and helped Xia Zhi up: "Get up."

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I still miss you. Come and talk to Ben Gong."

After Xia Zhi's enlightenment last time, she saw a lot.

The reason why the empress dowager treats her so indifferently is not only because she is not liked by the emperor, but also because she is cowardly.

The queen is the mother of a country, and she can't even manage a harem well. Can the queen mother not be angry with her?

Now that I think about it, the queen mother probably hates her.

Xia Zhi got up and hadn't seen her for more than ten days. Compared with the last time, the queen seemed to have a completely new look.

"Thank you, Empress Empress, for remembering, Xia Zhi is ashamed."

The queen interrupted her impatiently: "It's alright, alright! Don't talk about these useless things with Ben Gong!"

"I call you here today, just to talk about sisterhood, not to talk about anything else!"

"If you say that you don't dare to be anything, don't blame Bengong for turning his face!"

Xia Zhi had no choice but to agree, "Yes, yes, yes."

"I don't know what the empress ordered Xia Zhi to come over?"

The queen pulled her to sit down and poked her on the head: "I can't ask you to come over for a chat if I have nothing to do?!"

"You! Tell me what to say about you!"

"Prince Li has been away from the mansion for more than ten days, don't you miss him?"

Isn't Chu Li in Prince Li's mansion?
Xia Zhi realized later, and immediately pretended to know: "The prince is away on business, we are wives, taking care of ourselves is the biggest reassurance for him."

He didn't come to look for her after the quarrel that day, and Xia Zhi thought that this person had been angry all the time, but it turned out that he had gone on business.

The queen looked at her indifferent face, and sighed helplessly: "You! Don't you know that his trip is extremely difficult?"
