The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 195 Strange Letter

"It's the New Year now. The closer it gets to this time, the more we need to stay alert at all times." Li Zeqi's tightly furrowed brows never relaxed from beginning to end.

Mu Lanfeng saw everything, smiled, and said softly: "After the prince's actions, I think he will succeed in attracting the emperor's attention!"

"Of course. How can he be an ordinary person if he can sit in that position? In fact, his strengths are probably far greater than what we have seen. But... Oh, forget it, just accompany me for a walk!"

After Li Zeqi finished speaking, he strode out. Mu Lanfeng hurriedly followed him, and the two of them walked out of the palace.

After Li Zeqi finished speaking, he strode out. Mu Lanfeng hurriedly followed him, and the two of them walked out of the palace.

As soon as you step onto the street, you will see the hustle and bustle, lights and decorations everywhere, and the festive scene is overwhelming.

The shops on both sides of the street are hung with red lanterns, and the flickering lights illuminate the winter streets with cozy warmth.

People came and went, their faces filled with joy at the approaching New Year. Children were laughing and playing as they ran around, holding small toys such as the sugar figures they had just bought in their hands.

Li Zeqi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at this peaceful scene, but his mind was still full of thoughts.

Seeing that Li Zeqi was deep in thought, Mu Lanfeng said softly, "Look, the streets are so lively here, the people are all looking forward to a good New Year!"

Li Zeqi nodded slightly, "Yes, I just hope this peaceful day can last longer!"

As he was speaking, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums coming from the front. It turned out that a group of people were dancing the dragon and lion. The colorful dragon tumbled up and down, and the lion shook its head and tail, attracting cheers and applause from the people around.

The two of them couldn't help but stop and watch for a while, but soon, Li Zeqi withdrew his gaze and his expression became serious again.

"At this critical moment of the New Year, we must not let the people suffer from unprovoked disasters."

Mu Lanfeng pulled Li Zeqi's sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't think too much, we just need to be careful!"

The two men walked slowly along the street. As they were walking, a little boy suddenly jumped out from the crowd and stood in front of them.

The child looked to be about five or six years old, and was extremely cute.

The round little face is white with a hint of red, just like a ripe apple, making people want to pinch it.

A pair of big black eyes, like two bright black gems, were looking at Li Zeqi and Mu Lanfeng curiously, and her long eyelashes fluttered like two small fans.

Under the small nose, a small red mouth was slightly open, revealing a row of small white teeth that had not yet grown in, exuding a sense of innocence.

He had two small buns on his head that bounced with his movements, and he was wearing a festive red jacket. He looked like a little lucky doll that had walked out of a New Year picture.

The little boy suddenly blocked their way, tilted his adorable little face up and looked at them with a grin.

He stretched out his chubby little hand, tightly holding a piece of letter, and said to Mu Lanfeng in a baby voice: "Sister, this is something a brother asked me to give to you. That brother said he must give it to you."

The little boy shook the letter in his hand as he spoke. He looked so innocent, with a bright light shining in his eyes.

Mu Lanfeng was slightly startled, then squatted down, looked at the little boy level, and asked softly with tenderness in her eyes: "Little Tuanzi, can you tell me what that brother looks like?"

The little boy tilted his head and thought for a while, then answered in his childish voice, "That brother." Then he turned to look at Li Zeqi and continued, "He's as good-looking as this brother, but not as scary as this brother!"

Mu Lanfeng pursed her lips, trying hard not to laugh.

Speaking of Li Zeqi, his face is indeed very handsome, with delicate features and an innate heroic spirit.

However, when he doesn’t smile, he exudes a cold aura, and that expression is really frightening!

Li Zeqi seemed to have noticed something strange about Mu Lanfeng, and seeing her trying so hard to hold back her laughter, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly, trying to break the slightly weird atmosphere.

"Ahem, is there something wrong with my face? What makes you... um, react like this?" Li Zeqi raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Lanfeng. Although there was a hint of feigned displeasure in his words, the slightly reddened tips of his ears revealed some of his inner embarrassment at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Mu Lanfeng quickly waved his hands, trying to restore his expression to normal, and muttered softly: "What he said was not wrong in the first place!"

The little boy happened to glance at Li Zeqi, who still had a bit of sternness on his face. The little boy was immediately frightened and his face turned pale. He hid behind Mu Lanfeng in panic, clutching the corner of Mu Lanfeng's clothes tightly with his little hands. He only poked out his little head, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Li Zeqi timidly.

Seeing this, Mu Lanfeng felt both distressed and amused, and quickly squatted down to comfort the little boy, "Don't be afraid, little boy, this brother just looks scary, but he actually has a good heart!"

Li Zeqi saw that he had scared the little boy like this, and a bit of panic appeared on his face, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

After hearing what Mu Lanfeng said, the little boy poked his head out to look at Li Zeqi, and said doubtfully: "Well, sister, I believe you!"

Seeing that the little boy had been comforted, Mu Lanfeng smiled and asked, "Did the brother say anything?"

The little boy blinked his big obsidian eyes and answered seriously: "My brother said that the letter is very important and asked me to hand it to my sister. He also said that he would buy me some candy after I delivered it!"

After saying that, she smacked her lips, as if she had tasted the sweet candy.

Mu Lanfeng gently touched the little boy's head, took the letter, and then asked: "Little Tuanzi, sister will buy you some candy. Can you tell sister where the brother who asked you to deliver the letter is now?"

The little boy thought about it and shook his head, "No, that brother said I can't take my sister to see him!"

The little girl was quite principled. She stopped making things difficult for the little boy and waved to the vendor selling candied haws. She bought two strings of candied haws and gave them to the little boy.

Watching the little boy jumping away, Mu Lanfeng turned his gaze to the letter in his hand, the purpose of which he did not know.

She slowly opened the envelope and pulled out the letter. The handwriting on it was a little sloppy. There were only four words written on the letter: "Be careful, King Cheng!"

Mu Lanfeng read the letter carefully from beginning to end, his brows slightly furrowed, his heart full of confusion, he could not figure out what the letter meant.

She thought for a moment and then handed the letter to Li Zeqi beside her.

Li Zeqi took the letter and his eyes fell on the letter paper. He saw four big words written on it. His eyes instantly became solemn.

After reading it, he turned to look at Mu Lanfeng with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in a deep voice: "Lanfeng, do you know who sent this letter? Do you know who wrote this letter?"

Mu Lanfeng shook his head, looking confused. When he saw the handwriting on the letter just now, he felt it was very unfamiliar. He had never seen such handwriting before, so he had no idea what to do!

Li Zeqi frowned, his eyes still fixed on the four words, his expression becoming increasingly stern, "These four words 'Be careful of King Cheng' may seem simple, but they reveal an inexplicable weirdness. It seems that the person who delivered the letter discovered King Cheng's unusual movements!"

Mu Lanfeng also had a serious expression on his face. "I really can't think of who sent this letter, nor can I guess the deep meaning behind it. King Cheng has always been low-key, which shows that he is very scheming. The person who could have discovered his unusual movements is most likely someone familiar with him."

Li Zeqi lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then nodded gently, expressing his agreement with Mu Lanfeng's opinion, and slowly said: "Lanfeng, you are right. How could the third brother be so cautious and careful in his daily behavior? If it weren't for the people who are very close to him and trust him deeply, how could they have noticed his unusual movements?"

who can that be?

Mu Lanfeng immediately went through all the people who were familiar with Li Shanglu in his mind, trying to find some clues from them.

But after thinking about it, I didn't have any clue at all.

If you think about it carefully, Li Shanglu gives people a very subtle feeling.

It seemed as if he had a good relationship with everyone around him. Whenever they met each other, he was always smiling and polite, and there was nothing wrong with him.

But if you look deeper, it seems like he's not particularly close to anyone. He always seems to be a bit distant, which is really hard to understand.
