Chapter 180: One piece of information became two?
Li Ran didn"t know what they were up to.
He was drinking spiritual tea in the hall while waiting in boredom.
After an incense stick"s worth of time, the curtains were lifted and the two of them walked out from behind the screen.
Sheng Zhixia had her hands behind her back and a smile of success appeared on her face.
Sheng Anyi followed closely behind her .
Her hair was loose and her luxurious palace dress was a bit messy. Her face was as red as blood and she lowered her head, not daring to see anyone.
Li Ran looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What did you do?"
Sheng Zhixia smiled. "Nothing, just…"
Before she could finish, Sheng Anyi covered her mouth and said, "Don"t talk nonsense, or I"ll really be angry."
Sheng Zhixia pushed her hand away and said, "I"ll show it to Li Shengzi sooner or later anyway."
"You can"t give it to him!"
Sheng Anyi weakly pulled her back, her eyes filled with panic.
Sheng Zhixia patted her on the shoulder. "Don"t worry, who could tell it was you? This is fair to both of us."
Sheng Anyi said bitterly, "But what does this have to do with me!"
Sheng Zhixia shrugged. "Who told Sister to pretend to be a liar and peek at my secret?"
"I"m not lying, I"m just concerned about you…" Sheng Anyi"s voice was getting softer and softer.
Although her motive was good, she did have a deceptive nature. This was undeniable.
Li Ran scratched his head. "What are you saying? Why can"t I understand a word?"
Sheng Zhixia walked over and said with a smile, "Sheng Zi Li, how about we make a deal?"
"Deal?" Li Ran raised his eyebrows. "What deal?"
Sheng Zhixia spread out her hand and placed a green photographic stone on her palm. "Use this stone in exchange for mine."
"What"s inside?" Li Ran was puzzled.
Sheng Zhixia handed the Shadow Stone to him. "You"ll know once you take a look."
"You can"t watch it!" Sheng Anyi was about to pounce on him.
However, Li Ran"s spirit power had already been injected into it, and a clear image was projected in the air.
The bedroom was quiet.
Sheng Anyi was frozen in place, her face as red as blood.
Even Sheng Zhixia turned away shyly.
Li Ran looked at the image and his blood pressure soared. His nosebleed almost burst out.
He gulped and said with difficulty, "What, what does this mean?"
Another test of determination?
Sheng Zhixia said, "This was recorded by me just now…"
Li Ran said, "Then why did you show it to me?"
Sheng Zhixia explained, "I was wearing a flood dragon robe and could tell my ident.i.ty with a single glance."
"This time, Sister changed into her clothes. No one can tell whether it"s me or Sister."
Li Ran was speechless.
Wasn"t it just a dudou!
He asked curiously, "But what good will this do to you?"
Could it be that she was simply trying to scam her?
Sheng Zhixia harrumphed, "It"s not fair to me that sister peeked at my secret. So I decided to turn it into our common secret!"
Li Ran was speechless. "……"
This thought process was too strange!
Sheng Anyi covered her face and did not dare to see anyone.
Sheng Zhixia said, "How is it, Sheng Zi Li? There"s no loss to you anyway."
"That"s true…"
Li Ran looked at the photographic stone in his hand.
He had turned one piece of information into two. It seemed like he had even made a profit?
"Deal." Li Ran put away the photographic stone and threw the previous piece to her.
Sheng Zhixia took it and put it away happily.
"Drink tea, drink tea."
Li Ran sat down for a while. When he saw how embarra.s.sed Sheng Anyi was, he felt awkward.
Ahem
He stood up and said, "It"s getting late, so I"ll go back first."
"Alright, I"ll send you…"
Sheng Zhixia was about to stand up when she was held down by Sheng Anyi.
She looked away and said in a low voice, "I"d better send Sheng Zi Li out."
Sheng Zhixia tilted her head and thought for a moment.
It just so happened that she planned to destroy that photographic stone from before.
Sheng Anyi walked to the door. "Please, Sheng Zi Li."
Li Ran nodded and followed her out.
Along the way, the two of them remained silent.
Sheng Anyi looked conflicted, hesitating to say something.
Seeing that she was about to walk out of the palace, she mustered up her courage and said, "Sheng Zi Li, the photographic stone… You must not let others see it."
Li Ran nodded. "Don"t worry. Other than me, no one will see it."
Sheng Anyi blushed and said, "You"re not allowed to look at it either. You must forget everything you just saw!"
Li Ran thought about it and muttered, "Then I guess I can"t forget it…"
When Sheng Anyi heard that, her face turned even redder. She gritted her teeth and said hatefully, "Zhixia, that d.a.m.ned girl, knows how to bully me!""
"Calm down. Just get used to it!" Li Ran smiled.
"How can I get used to such things? To insist that this one put on that appearance, it was really ugly." Sheng Anyi"s eyes were filled with resentment.
Cough, cough
Li Ran scratched his head. "It looks pretty good. Princess Sheng"s figure is really good."
She was similar to Sheng Zhixia in shape, but she was a little more delicate. She looked pitiful.
"You, you can"t talk nonsense!" Sheng Anyi stomped her feet in embarra.s.sment. "Not at all!"
Faced with Li Ran"s teasing gaze, she panicked and picked up her skirt to run away.
Li Ran couldn"t help shaking his head as he watched her graceful back.
"It"s really pretty. It"s not going to be talked about…"
He returned to Li Manor.
A group of people were busy in front of the door. The servants climbed up the ladder.
Li Daoyuan stood below and commanded, "Go left, go left, go right."
Li Ran walked over. "Father, what are you doing?"
Li Daoyuan replied, "Didn"t Emperor Sheng give me a plaque? I"ll have someone hang it up."
Li Ran looked at the word "Li" and raised his eyebrows.
"In my opinion, we should hang up at the back door."
Li Daoyuan was taken aback. "Back door? Is there a mistake? This is an Imperial Brushstroke plaque!"
Although he wasn"t interested in this matter, it was written by the Emperor himself. He still had to give face.
Li Ran shook his head and a.n.a.lyzed, "The Li Manor faces the most bustling street. There are countless officials and n.o.bles coming and going, but now they have to get off the horse and get off the sedan chair. I"m afraid it will cause dissatisfaction and trouble."
"Hanging at the back door also makes my Li family look low-key. They don"t rely on favors to be proud."
Li Daoyuan looked at him suspiciously. "Actually, that"s not what you"re thinking, right?"
Cough cough
Li Ran cleared his throat and said, "Of course, it"s mainly because I don"t like Sheng Ye. I"m not comfortable hanging this sign."
He already knew what had happened at the temple.
If it weren"t for Yi Qinglan"s support, his merit would have been wiped out.
Li Daoyuan covered his face.
"Are you unhappy with the Emperor? You really dare to say such a thing!"
