Chapter 379 Don't let me worry about you anymore
"Qingchuan, you are so confused. How can you disobey your father like this?!"
Mother Li, who has been ill for many years... Her real name is Juanxiu. She was originally a maid in the Li Mansion. She had a one-night stand with Li Zongdao when he was drunk, and then gave birth to a child. She originally thought that she could be a concubine because of her son, but she gave birth to a daughter. She didn't get what she wanted, but instead suffered from a series of diseases due to dystocia. Later, she barely survived, but her health was getting worse and worse. Now, she needs to use Danshen frequently to prolong her life, and the frequency of taking it is getting more and more frequent.
No matter how carefully Li Qingchuan takes care of her, her mother's health is getting worse and worse. This is an indisputable fact.
She can't let her stay in this place any longer.
But when Li Qingchuan came to tell her the good news that she had escaped slavery with joy...
Mother Li was shocked, and even brought great fear.
Li Qingchuan didn't agree.
Speechless: "Is it that serious, mother? I think I've been generous enough to exchange the lives of the entire Li family for 10,000 taels of gold and your freedom... Besides, I'm his daughter after all. Even if I blackmail him, can he still kill me? My two brothers have lost more than 10,000 taels of gold over the years, right? I only want 10,000 taels, which is already giving him face."
"But you... you don't know your father!"
Mother Li sighed and said, "Your father is not a broad-minded person. If you threaten him like this, he may not do what you want!"
"Then it's okay... Anyway, he never cares about my existence.
Li Qingchuan sneered: "If the enemy comes, the general will stop it. If the water comes, the earth will cover it. If he really dares to do it, although I can't beat him, I may not be afraid..."
"I hope everything is safe! "
Mother Li looked at her arrogant daughter with pity, couldn't help but sigh, and silently prayed for Buddha's blessing, hoping that the prince would really think of the father and daughter and not make things too difficult for his daughter.
At this time...
Li Zongdao ran all the way into the study.
He carefully locked the door.
Then he sat on the main seat in the study, with a panicked look on his face, then took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and waved slightly...
A majestic illusory figure suddenly floated behind him, and the figure slowly exuded an invisible breath, seeping into the bookshelf, and then immediately dissipated into nothingness.
Li Zongdao was not surprised, but continued to make the shadow behind him more illusory...
After a while.
The door of the study It slowly opened, and there was a secret passage inside.
Li Zongdao did not move, but the shadow behind him stood up strangely and walked in... It looked like a soul leaving the body!
The shadow walked in the secret passage, which was a long and narrow passage.
At the end, a stone chamber of about two meters in radius could be seen.
The shadow gradually solidified, and its appearance was exactly the same as Li Zongdao.
He waited there quietly.
Until...
After a while, a white figure slowly emerged, as illusory as him, and it seemed that it was not a physical entity.
The figure said lightly: "I should have said that you should not disturb me unless you have something to do... You are so presumptuous to look for me, is there something urgent?"
Li Zongdao knelt down respectfully and said: "The task you entrusted me to do has finally been completed."
"The map of mountains and rivers? Did you find it? Where is it?"
The voice of the white figure became inexplicably strange.
"This... you should know everything, right? "
Li Zongdao carefully raised his head and glanced at the white figure, thinking that if he landed in the palace, you would naturally know it, but you knew it a long time ago, but you just didn't say it, leaving me running around like a headless fly.
He wanted to ask what was going on, but he didn't have the courage... He had to remain silent.
The white figure suddenly laughed and sighed: "It's been several days, right? Prince... Chang'an is so small, and I asked you to find a painting that was lost from your palace. You spent several days, but you didn't find the map of mountains and rivers, but you only found the trace? You are much slower than I thought..."
"This... I am incompetent! "
Sweat beads appeared on Li Zongdao's forehead again. As expected, she already knew the whereabouts of the Mountain and River Map. She was just testing her ability to do things. But now it seems that her ability obviously disappoints her!
"Hmph, you are incompetent enough... I will give you the Mountain and River Map later. Everything should be carried out according to the plan. No more mistakes are allowed. Otherwise, you know the consequences!"
The white figure laughed sarcastically and said, "Come to the palace later. Although it is inconvenient for us to meet at this time due to our identities, but... um..."
"That's okay!"
Li Zongdao said, "I have a daughter who is beautiful and well-behaved. I am planning to go to the palace to discuss whether she can be made a princess and let her marry into the Tubo. Now, I can go to the palace for this matter!"
"Um... OK! "
Hearing that person's agreement, Li Zongdao showed a sarcastic smile on his face.
He sneered in his heart, you dare to disobey me like this, do you think I can't do anything to you? Humph...out of sight, out of mind, you should marry me far away and make the last contribution to my father's political achievements hahahaha!
"What are you thinking about?"
"Ah...this, I want to..."
Only then did Li Zongdao realize that the most important thing at the moment was...
He asked hesitantly: "You told me before that everyone who saw the Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map should be killed... Now that the map has arrived in the palace, I wonder if it is still necessary?!"
"Necessary? Do you know how this picture got to the palace?"
"This... villain doesn't know."
"Huh, idiot, I don't know this, I don't know that, I don't know anything, what do you want to do?!"
There was a bit of anger in the voice of the white figure, and he shouted: "This map of mountains and rivers was sent by Master Sanzang from Brahma Temple. You must have heard of Master Sanzang's previous name, right? He must have seen that Shanhe Sheji Tu, are you going to try to kill him?”
"The villain is scared!"
Hearing Sanzang's name... Li Zongdao hurriedly knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
"Forget it. Anyway, although they have been exposed, they are still insignificant people. Don't worry about this matter. From now on, just deal with the mountains and rivers and the country map with peace of mind... There is only half a month left before my birthday, stay here I don’t have much time for you!”
"Yes, I will never let you down this time!"
"I hope so... You will enter the palace later and take away the picture. I hope you won't let me worry about your affairs anymore."
The white figure just disappeared.
Seeing that there was no more sound in front of him, Li Zongdao gently wiped the sweat on his forehead, stood up slowly, and sighed: "This matter... has finally come to an end. Damn it, I already got that picture tomorrow morning. , but you still hide it and don’t say it, and instead blame me, it’s really..."
He didn't dare to continue, he just sighed and disappeared...
And in the study room.
Li Zongdao, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes, with a look of relief on his face.
After tapping his fingers quietly on the table for a moment, he suddenly laughed coldly and murmured: "One hundred thousand taels of silver... hum, one hundred thousand taels... It's really a good appetite, but I'm not stingy as a father. I will turn all of these hundred thousand taels into a dowry for you, hahahaha..."
He laughed triumphantly.
