This is the third month since Liu Li returned to the palace, and the seasons are changing, from the end of spring to the beginning of summer, it officially enters summer.

"Will the sun be fixed in the middle of the day? Go, and all nations will be in a furnace." This poem is absolutely correct.

The summer in Xijing has reached the point where even if we use the word "extreme heat" to describe it, it is not enough. In addition, in ancient times, there were no refrigeration equipment such as air conditioners and electric fans. Although we have been here for many years, we have expected it. But Liu Li still felt like he was smoking from the heat.

No matter how lightly you wear and how often you bathe, beads of sweat still fall drop by drop, and you can only wipe it again and again.

"Princess, don't worry, I have ordered the imperial dining room to make ice for you."

There are large basins of ice in the Hall of Yanluo, all of which have just been taken out of the ice cellar, exuding strands of coolness.

In addition, Yan'er sat next to her and used her fan to keep fanning the wind, which relieved her a little bit.

"No? Worry? No? Worry. Worry." Liu Li saw that Yan'er's arms were tired in a blink of an eye, and motioned for her to give him the fan, which in turn helped? Fan her too, "Not so delicate." ,fine."

Yan'er was startled, and quickly waved her hands.

But she has a gentle temper, how can she win over her own princess, so she can only enjoy the service of the princess.

It's quite comfortable.

Liu Li sat up from the couch, slapped the fan and thought while suddenly asking:

"Let me ask you, what has Xiao Rui been up to lately?"

"Ok?"

Yan'er stared: "Why did the princess suddenly ask this? She has always been ordered by the Holy Majesty, so she should keep her mouth shut, so... never mentioned it to Yan'er."

"Oh."

Liu Li can understand it, after all, Zhao Xiaorui has always been very cautious in doing things, and he is so tight-lipped with his wife, which is why Ning Zisheng relies on her so much.

"But she's been really busy lately, hasn't she?"

Yan'er nodded: "Yes, these days, I'm almost busy every day until midnight before returning home."

Liu Li seemed to have expected this answer, a little carelessly: "Ning Zisheng? No? Yes, it's the same..."

Just, crazy busy.

Moreover, she always felt that things were abnormal, no? Of course not? As for asking Yan'er specifically.

"Perhaps there are a lot of things in the court. After all, the Holy One and Xiao Rui are in their positions, and they are sometimes busy? It is reasonable." Yan'er comforted.

"No, this is not right." Liu Li shook his head and explained to Yan'er in a low voice, "Listen to me."

Just at this time, the ice from the imperial dining room was also delivered. Yan'er brought in the food box, sat upright, and waited? Hearing what the princess was going to say.

The ice cubes in the white porcelain bowl were scraped into pieces by a knife, dense but not broken, and not affected by the scorching sun outside, it was enough to see that it had just been made, so it was sent here immediately.The red hawthorn juice is poured on it, and it is dotted with fresh and tender lychee pulp. It is refreshing and refreshing in one bite.

Liu Li shared half with Yan'er, but the other party hesitated and asked, "Is it the hawthorn season now? And there are lychees..."

After all, it was made by the imperial dining room, how could she be qualified to eat it?

"After all, the nobles in Xijing want to eat and don't choose the season. As long as they are willing to spend money, the fruit growers are? Are they willing to grow it? You can eat it, anyway, you won't be able to finish it."

Yan'er was silent for a moment, she was right after thinking about it, and then she stopped rejecting, and the two began to chat while eating.

"Why do I say this is wrong? It's right." Liu Li swallowed the ice in his mouth, "Because Ning Zisheng and Zhao Xiaorui, no? They're just busy."

Busy on weekdays, nothing more than dealing with memorials and meeting ministers, these are all things that Ning Zisheng does every day, Liu Li has long been used to it, and even sneaks into the Shang's study room to play from time to time.

But now it is very different. After a period of spying, Liu Li discovered something unusual——

Every night recently, neither Ning Zisheng nor Zhao Xiaorui were in the Shang study.

But the palace is such a big place, and there are very few places that can handle the affairs of the court. Liu Lipiao searched all over the palace, but found nothing, so he came to a conclusion:

Although the reason is unclear, the two must have left the palace every night.

Not only did he never notify Liu Li, but sometimes he didn't come back all night!

Even when they came back, they would go to bed lightly.Facing Liu Li's puzzled and sleepy eyes, Ning Zisheng could only whisper:

"It's too late, go to sleep."

Then he fell asleep with his clothes on, and after lying down for a few hours, he set off to go to court again.

No warning... just forget it.But, this is nothing, because even the only kisses and hugs left are perfunctory and indifferent.

These are all Liu Li's thoughts.

After she picked out what she could say to Yan'er, she had almost eaten the ice, biting the wooden spoon, wondering if Yan'er might know something? What.

"This..." There was a hint of hesitation and hesitation in Yan'er's eyes, which was fleeting, but Liu Li captured it well.

"what?"

"No? No? No, it's nothing." Yan'er hurriedly shook her head and explained, "I was just thinking that Xiaorui seems to be like this recently, leaving early and returning late, unable to say a few words every day. From this point of view, the Holy One and Xiao Rui are really busy with things and cannot take time off."

"[System] She must be lying! There is something wrong with her eyes."

"I know."

After all, they have been together for many years, and Yan'er is not the kind of person who can deceive others, and there are some hidden things in her heart, which Liu Li can see at a glance.

"So, isn't this? It's asking slowly."

My good fellow, I'm still a little angry. The three of us teamed up to hide it from her. The discomfort brought by this feeling is even more annoying than the hot weather.

No? But Yan'er and Xiaorui are now a couple, if there is something wrong, can't you let Liu Li know that they must have worked together to keep their mouths shut.

So you still can't ask in person, you have to eavesdrop behind your back.

"Is Xiaorui free this afternoon?" Liu Li smiled and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go to her, no? You don't have to accompany me."

Yan'er asked: "Isn't the princess? Are you bored?"

"No? Yes." Liu Li said, "The sun is too hot today, I'm afraid of the sun, and I prefer to rest in the house? You can find her by yourself."

These words can be regarded as speaking to Yan'er's heart, she has indeed not talked to Xiao Rui for a long time.

Since the princess has said so, then she...

"Go, go." Liu Li smiled and waved his hands, "No? I'll keep you."

Outside the Shang's study room, the sunlight does not penetrate under the eaves, so standing here, you don't need to be exposed to the sun.Xiaorui pulled Yan'er nervously, and found an empty corner along the long corridor, before he asked her:

"What's the matter? But what's the matter with the princess?"

"Yeah." Yan'er explained the ins and outs softly, and finally said, "I think the princess seems to have doubted it for a long time, and she can clearly feel the movement of the Holy Majesty..."

"[System] I'll tell you!"

"Hush." ​​Liu Li signaled it not to talk too much, "Listen well."

Her own invisible spirit body was floating in the air.

Except for Ning Zisheng and Meng Xiran, no one knows that she can become a spirit body; even anyone who knows about the "bracelet" will be automatically erased by the system, so there is no need to worry about them noticing anything? Yes.

Xiao Rui sighed and stood with his hands behind his back.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Yan'er was very uneasy, and even had a frightening guess.

"You only want me to guard the princess, don't you? Tell me what happened, which made me panic. The princess found out that you are not in the palace every night. What is there to see?" Someone? No? It will be, the Holy One is outside..."

Although the spirit body didn't say whether it was life or death, Liu Xin almost stopped beating when he said it. He held his breath and waited? What did Zhao Xiaorui say.

Still? Well, the next moment I heard her answer like laughing: "How is it possible."

Phew... Liu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then what exactly are you going out of the palace for?" Yan'er frowned and pursed her lips, as if she was acting a little petulant, "Take it as just to make me feel at ease, and say something, otherwise I will Nor? Practical."

Liu Li shouted in his heart: Yes!talk!

But Zhao Xiaorui just coaxed people in a low voice, but didn't mention the content of Yan'er's question.

She was dying of anxiety.

After 25 minutes and 11?[-] seconds had passed by the clock on the system panel, the two had been half-tired and half-tempered for a long time, but they still didn't give the answer Liu Li wanted.

No? But at this moment, Zhao Xiaorui finally reluctantly said something. What.
