"Of course I know her. Xiaorou used to belong to crab Pavilion. Three years ago, three maids were released from Qingfeng hall. They were short of people. I think she is pretty and sharp, so I recommend her to go there..."

"when the body was picked up, didn't you come out to see it?" Xu Qi'an asked suddenly.

"Old slave, I dare not see the dead."

"Oh, you go on talking about Huang xiaorou."

Mammy Rong was very old, and her mood changed greatly. She suddenly got angry: "that dead girl is cold and thin. If it wasn't for the old slave's recommendation, she would have become the big maid beside Fu Fei? After all these years, I never came back to see the old slave.

"Those men who don't know how to show filial piety to their godfather, ah, this woman's fickleness is the most chilling."

"Mammy, don't say that. You're too old to escape the boxer's tricky attack." Xu Qian joked, and then said:

"during the autopsy, I found that Huang xiaorou's left chest had been fatally injured. Do you know what happened?"

Mammy Rong thought about it for a long time and made a recollection expression: "injury... It's like a year before xiaoroudiao went to Qingfeng hall. She got up at night and stabbed herself in the chest with scissors.

"Fortunately, the maid in the same room with her found out early and called for the doctor, which saved her life."

Xu Qi'an and Huai Qing frowned at the same time.

There is a loophole in the old lady's words. The scar goes straight to the heart. It's a fatal wound. The cost of treatment is beyond the reach of a maid in waiting.

"As the saying goes, if she survived, she would be blessed. Xiaorou was lucky enough to get her life back. The next year, she went to Qingfeng hall. She didn't have to do any more chores. She looked very handsome. She had a chance to get lucky from her majesty."

Xu Qi'an recalled Huang xiaorou's swollen face after her death, and the corners of her mouth drew.

No matter who saved Huang xiaorou, one thing can be confirmed, in the case of massive bleeding, there is not much time left for her. How did the man behind save a maid in waiting in the middle of the night?

Unless you keep an eye on her.

If mammy Rong didn't cheat, the problem lies in...

"what's the name of the maid in waiting?" Huaiqing asked Qi'an a question and added, "the maid in waiting with Huang xiaorou."

"Back to your highness," mammy Rong thought for a long time, uncertain tone: "seems to be called... Lotus?"

Obviously, Xu Qi'an saw Huaiqing's pupil shrink fiercely.

She knew the maid named he'er... Xu Qi'an made a judgment in her heart.

"I'm finished. What else do your Highnesses want to add?" Xu Qi'an looks at Huaiqing and Lin'an.

Lin'an shakes his head in cooperation with Huaiqing, who looks worried and doesn't respond.

Xu Qi'an was about to retreat, and then went to check the Royal pharmacy. Mammy Rong suddenly said, "this adult, I have something to say to you."

With that, Mammy Rong got up and went to the other side.

Xu Qi'an followed, and mammy Rong looked back at Huaiqing and others, then looked back at Xu Qi'an, and said:

"there are too many facts that you can't hide in the palace. As long as you put one foot in it, it will sink all the time. "

"Mammy Rong, I said you are simple. You are like a firefly in the night. Your gray hair, age spots on your face, and big belly all amaze me deeply." Xu Qian exclaimed.

If you have any secrets, just let me know.

"It's nice of you to talk to me. I didn't tell you that just because you look pretty." The old lady slowly returned to the reclining chair and stopped talking.

Xu Qi'an did not leave, surprised: "no?"

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know much about shengongyuan. I don't know what I shouldn't know."

... hey, this old lady, it's a waste of my feelings! I thought she knew something.

According to Xu Qian's idea, since old mammy left him to speak alone, there must be "unspeakable secrets" waiting for him.

The result is just a warning!

Out of the courtyard of crab Pavilion, the bright red skirt mounting is still waiting outside, but Huaiqing's figure is missing.

"Where's the eldest princess?"

Mounting a listen, immediately unhappy, vertical eyebrow way: "open mouth closed mouth is Huaiqing, Huaiqing, forget who you are? This palace is waiting here. Don't you see it? "

Under the sun, her round goose egg face is soft, her cheeks are white and red, and she wants to be a transparent jade without any defects.

Eyebrows erect reason, charming peach blossom eyes rippling not angry.

Even if it's angry, it's cute.

"The princess is gone at last. No one bothers us to be alone." Xu Qian said happily.

Mounting smell speech, face slightly red, guilty of looking at the guard not far away, whispered: "dog slave, don't talk with this palace."

she is a shy princess who can not live under the attack of sugar coated bullet, and will be ashamed and embarrassed to hear the local love words."Your Highness is too modest, your highness is like a light in the dark, so brilliant, the sun can't cover up your brilliance..." Xu Qi'an changed a sentence pattern into a coat, and took it to Princess Lin'an to say.

Mounting is joyful, embarrassed and helpless. I don't know when she will be able to control the gong.

When he just snatched it from Huaiqing, he was obedient and vowed to break up with Huaiqing and serve her wholeheartedly.

After a long time, she found that the man could not control himself at all. He was humble and respectful on the surface. In fact, when he was alone, he always fell behind.

But this kind of getting along with the pattern, she has never cared. You know, even in front of Huaiqing, she is a strange woman striving for the top.

Think of here, Mount mount up radian wonderful jaw, quality asked: "Huaiqing in time why don't say?"

How can you say this in front of you... If it's Huaiqing, I have to put it another way: Your Highness is like a pure snow lotus in the snow, your beautiful face, long and straight legs, pompous 36d pectoralis... I am deeply surprised.

Xu Qian digs off the topic: "where has the princess gone?"

"How do I know?"

Mounting seemed to want to roll his eyes, but considering the etiquette, he forced himself to hold back and said, "let's go to the imperial pharmacy as soon as possible. Investigation is like fire fighting. We can't delay it."

Xu Qi'an looked at her and guessed, "are you worried about Huaiqing destroying the evidence?"

Mounting pretended not to hear, walking in front of light feet, skirt dangling, small peach hip shape looming.

"When God spread her wisdom all over the world, the princess, like Lingyin, cleverly took an umbrella... It's really easier to deal with her than Huaiqing... But it's too bitchy to be defended." Xu Qi'an murmured in his heart and accompanied the princess to the imperial pharmacy.

...

Lingbao temple.

In the quiet room with sandalwood curling, two women with different status sit opposite each other drinking tea. The sunlight penetrates the lattice window and casts a neat square spot on the ground.

Dust floats in the beam.

Luo Yuheng sat on the futon with the word "Tao" on his back, holding the floating dust in one hand and the tea cup in the other. After drinking, he narrowed his eyes and highlighted the curly and thick eyelashes.

"The tea planted in Nanzhi is different from other kinds of tea. If I can drink a pot every day, I won't do it. " Luo Yuheng said with emotion.

Opposite Luo Daoshou was a woman in an indigo dress, a gorgeous headdress and a veil.

Her face was hidden under the veil, only the outline of her cheek could be seen vaguely, only a pair of bright eyes and two delicate eyebrows were exposed.

"This tea matures in three years and yields only three jin. Most of it went to the palace. " The voice of masked women is soft and charming, full of the magnetism of mature women.

She lifted the veil, took a sip, and then asked, "is there anything interesting in Beijing recently?"

Luo Yuheng said helplessly: "you are not interested in fighting in the court, but is this not the most soul stirring and memorable? As for the cases, from the tax case to the Sangpo case, you've heard them back and forth several times... This is the capital. How can there be so many cases for you to hear? "

"The case of Fu Fei is not finished yet." The masked woman bent her eyebrows and eyes, as if laughing.

"The causeway is still responsible for investigating this case. I don't know the details." After drinking the tea, Luo Yuheng poured another cup for himself:

"after all, it's the emperor's family business. If you are interested, you can ask Princess Huaiqing."

"That's all. People who are not happy to talk to the royal family." The woman shook her head and said, "I've seen that Gong twice. It's a bit annoying."

"Have you seen him?" Luo Yuheng was stunned.

The masked woman gave a "um" sound, green jade fingers dipped in tea, drew a pig's head on the tea table, bent her eyebrows and hummed:

"picked up my sachet and refused to return it."

Luo Yuheng nodded and said along with the topic: "this man is unusual. He is appreciated by Wei Yuan and cultivated with all his strength. In time, Dafeng will produce another high-quality warrior with a bright future. "

Under the veil, she turned her lips and said, "how high is it? With the king of Zhenbei, the Wufu of Dafeng couldn't lift his head. He's just a gong. "

Luo Yuheng smiles. The talent of the Gong is very good. It is appreciated by Wei Yuan and selected by dizong as the holder of Dishu. But there are so many heroes in the world, and he is just one of them.

"I really appreciate his ability to solve cases. There are so many big cases, ups and downs, and the process is interesting." Said the masked woman.

Luo Yuheng was about to speak when her cheek suddenly became red. She frowned, put down her teacup, and whispered: "Nanzhi, go back first..."

the masked woman looked at her, nodded slightly, got up and walked to the door, suddenly turned back, but said, "I can't do it. Just follow Yuanjing emperor, or find a man. I'm so angry every month I'm afraid you'll become a slut. "Luo Yuheng ignored her and frowned more tightly.

The masked woman opened the door of the quiet room, walked out under the eaves, followed the path paved with bluestone, and left the backyard.

"Hoo......"

LUO Yuheng breathed a hot breath and stood up with the coffee table. When she scraped her plump chest, she uttered a very attractive groan, her legs were weak and almost paralyzed to the ground.

She left the quiet room stumbling, beautiful face full of flush, eyes full of water, charming as silk.

Putong...

LUO Yuheng jumped into the backyard pool.

The cold pool water engulfed the mature and plump body of Meiyan Taoist nun. Suddenly, the pool surface "click" repeatedly, forming a thick ice.

The cold current has spread to the surrounding rockeries and pavilions, covering them with a thin layer of clear ice crystals.

Another quarter of an hour later, the pool water gradually melted, and strands of steam came out. Then, a bubble rolled out of the water, and the "wave" broke.

"Gurgle..."

more and more bubbles are surging out, the steam is getting denser and denser, and the whole pool is boiling.

This process lasted for two quarters of an hour, the water level dropped more than ten centimeters, the boiling pool water finally returned to quiet, but the hot and humid air lingered over the backyard for a long time.

Luo Yuheng came out of the water, her hairpin fell off, her black hair was close to her white cheek, her eyes were full of charm, her cheeks were red as drunk, it seemed that she had just experienced a cloud and rain, and she was beautiful.

"Meow ~"

the soft cat call came, and an orange cat turned in from the outer wall, jumped onto the rockery behind Luo Yuheng, and squatted there cleverly.

"Evil fire will destroy Daoji. Luo Yuheng, you can last three years at most." Orange cat mouth spits out the human speech, spreads the gentle vicissitudes sound.

"Why is elder martial brother here?" Luo Yuheng is soaking in the water, his star eyes half open and half closed.

"I'll show you the way." Orange cat said: "Si Tianjian's birth pill can relieve your symptoms. Now it's desire, and then there's greed, anger, infatuation and hatred... You can feel it.

"Well, among the three schools of Taoism, Tianzong is the only one who is not tired of the world. Maybe the idea of Tianzong is right. "

Luo Yuheng opened his eyes and said with a sneer: "Tianzong is heartless and righteous. He assimilates with heaven and earth. There is no sadness, joy, love or hate. Even if he becomes an immortal, he will lose himself. This is an evil way. "

After a pause, she frowned and said, "how can I not know that Tuotai pill can relieve the symptoms, but JianZheng always does not like our family and definitely will not give pills."

Orange cat said without hesitation: "Xu Qi'an has taken the birth pill, but the effect has not yet dissipated. Take a bowl of his blood essence as a medicine guide. Although the refined pill is not as good as the birth pill, it can also solve the burning problem.

"He'll sell some noodles."

Luo Yuheng was silent for a moment: "you'd better drum yourself up. The magic that you split up occupies most of your strength. It's probably wishful thinking to destroy the devil just by the present ghost."

Orange cat said with a smile: "at that time, my younger martial sister will have to help me. Of course, when I have the confidence to subdue the demons, most of the holders of the earth Book fragments have grown up, and the younger martial sisters just need to be there. "

Luo Yuheng frowned: "elder martial brother, you should know that unless you step into Yipin, otherwise in my state, if you are entangled by cause and effect, most of you will only fall."

"So, next, I will help my younger martial sister step into the first grade."

Luo Yu Heng Meng's turn head, beautiful Mou bright gaze, stare at orange cat don't speak.

"Why didn't my younger martial sister practice with emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty?" The orange cat raised its paw as if to lick it, but reason prevailed over habit.

"He's not lucky enough." Luoyuheng road.

This is the first time that she explained the reason why she did not practice with emperor Jing of Yuan Dynasty.

Orange cat nodded slowly, "so you just use his Qi to suppress Ye Huo, but you don't go any further. so what? Younger martial sister must have a follow-up plan? "

Luo Yuheng nodded: "wait for the new king to be superior."

The new king is superior... Orange cat suddenly frowns: "with the declining national power of Dafeng, you will only be inferior to one generation, and among the descendants of emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty, there is no master of Zhongxing, which you know better than me."

Luo Yuheng laughed. "Zhongxing doesn't have to rely on the king. Wei Yuan, the mender of the Empire, is here. As long as yuanjingdi can survive the cleaning and control the new king after his death, the Empire will eventually be swept away and prospered."

"So you plan to wait for the future national strength to recover, and then repair with the new king..." orange cat nodded first, then shook his head: "it's not urgent. The reason for the decline of Dafeng's national strength is not simple. It's very involved, and I'm afraid."

Luo Yuheng frowned: "on the far-reaching layout, elder martial brother is not inferior to Wei Yuan."

"I'm also guessing. It's not clear yet." Orange cat said, "by the way, Li Miao is really coming to the capital."

"You call No. 4 back. As a disciple of Renzong, it's his duty to deal with Tianzong saint."

"This... They are all members of the heaven and Earth Society. It's not good for them to kill each other."Luo Yuheng threw him the back of his head.

Well... When the time comes, push Xu Qi'an out and make mud... Orange cat thought to herself.

...

Royal pharmacy.

The old Eunuch in charge of the case dug out a book from the bookcase and handed it to Xu Qi'an, who came to investigate the case. Her voice was shrill:

"the revenue and expenditure records of the Royal pharmacy will be cleared in five years. If the adult comes back a few years later, he will not be able to find it."

Pian hall, Mount mount holding a bowl of tea, smart eyes rotation, staring at the booklet.

Xu Qian thought she wanted to see it, so he said, "the princess is looking for it?"

"I'm too lazy to look at these things. My head is too big." Crisp, she said.

Xu Qian doesn't understand how Chu Caiwei and Huai Qingcheng are friends? It is reasonable to say that birds of a feather flock together.

Chu Caiwei was obviously with Lin'an, so the orange was in good condition.

"Your Highness is brilliant, but his talent lies elsewhere." As Xu Qi'an opened the book, he said, "I have a younger sister in my family. She is as clever as a princess, but her talent is not put on reading."

"Where is it?"

"On the back."

"....

this booklet records the income and expenditure records of all pills in Yuanjing's Royal pharmacy in the 32nd year.

according to Huang xiaorou's injury, there are only a few pills that can save her, so it's easy to find them. It's easy to find the pills that can bring the dying back to life in the Royal pharmacy.

But Xu Qi'an found a cup of tea, but he didn't find any clue.

"In the 32nd year of Yuanjing period, Si Tianjian and lingbaoguan sent 364 kinds of pills, with a total count of 7890 bottles. Among them, there were only three kinds of first-class pills. In the 32nd, 33rd and 36th years of Yuanjing, they were awarded to foreign ministers by your majesty. "

Xu Qi'an closed the first volume, looked at Lin'an and said, "I didn't find the pill to save Huang xiaorou."

Smell speech, clever Lin'an thinks for a long time, "Dan Yao is not from Imperial pharmacy?"

Xu Danfeng shook his head and said, "it's only from the Qi Tian Temple that I'm sure.

"Huang xiaorou is a palace maid. If there is no one behind her to save her, she will surely die. But in the harem, who can ask for pills from Si Tianjian and lingbaoguan without going through the imperial pharmacy

There is only one answer: Emperor yuan!

It can't be him. The imperial pharmacy belongs to Emperor Jingdi of Yuan Dynasty, and the whole palace belongs to him. The imperial pharmacy is the institution where he withdraws pills. He has no reason to bypass the imperial study. It's just like my salary card is used to deposit wages. I don't need to open another bank card to hide pocket money secretly. Xu Qi'an thought of a possibility.

PS: sorry, something happened in the morning. The update was late. In order to let you continue to read, I made a great determination to stop my urge to apologize.

Today, the number of words is about fifteen thousand.
