Chapter Thirty: The Man in the Picture(2/2)
The Queen Mother stood up, rubbed her sore legs, and came to look at her. Before she had time to comment, she heard the footsteps of the maid coming to the door:
"Your Highness, Mr. Ye is here."
Dongfang Liren heard the news that the Wingless Owl was brought to justice in the morning, and wanted to see the Night Terror Hall. When he heard that people were coming, he didn't have the time to accompany the Queen Mother, so he immediately said:
"A clerk in the Yamen handled a big case yesterday. I'm going to meet him. The Queen Mother will rest first."
The Queen Mother knew that Dongfang Liren was busy with affairs and did not stay long. After watching Dongfang Liren go out, she wandered alone in the room and took out the scrolls on the bookshelf to check.
Dongfang Liren and the empress learned from ‘Zhenren Xuanji’, one was good at literature and the other was good at martial arts, and both received the true inheritance.
Dongfang Liren has quite good calligraphy and painting skills, and he likes to paint the various scenes of the market outside Mingyu Tower.
The Queen Mother admired it secretly, and quickly picked up a brand new scroll from the middle of the bookshelf. When she unfolded it, she saw a man painted on it.
The man was wearing a black robe, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and he was majestic. He held a long knife upside down in his left hand and placed it on his neck. There was also a fat owl standing on his shoulder. The demeanor of one person and one bird was clearly outlined.
"Tsk tsk~ So handsome..."
The Queen Mother's apricot eyes were slightly bright, and she held the portrait to the window and looked at it carefully in the light.
The man in the painting has a very unique temperament, he is both wild and chivalrous, yet gentle and elegant. He is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him. He is so handsome that it is a bit unreal, as if he is just the man in the painting. Such a flawless man cannot exist in reality.
"Could it be that he is Liren's imaginary husband..."
The Queen Mother thought about it seriously for a moment and felt that it was very possible. She secretly teased Dongfang Liren a few words and prepared to put the portrait away.
But at this moment, there was some movement below Mingyu Tower.
The Queen Mother looked down and saw two people walking out of the huge Yamen. The first one was a scholar in a green robe. She had seen that he was the chief arrester of the black Yamen, Jianli.
Behind him is a man in black. His posture is neither humble nor arrogant, and his steps are neither urgent nor slow. He is far away and blocked by the rain curtain. Only the side of his face can be seen, but the handsomeness of this man can still be seen from his body.
Um?
The Queen Mother was stunned, picked up the portrait and looked at it, then looked at the man in black in the distance, and then looked at the portrait again...
