Ping Wang and Li Qing returned to the palace the day before the Lantern Festival. Green Artemisia brought tea into the study and put down the cup. Seeing Li Qing rubbing and stopping, Li Qing put down the note in his hand, looked up at her, and laughed.

"Look at what happened to you like this? Can you make you so embarrassed?"

Green Artemisia breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Li Qing, moved forward a few steps, and reported in a low voice:

"Madam, there is a wife in charge by my eldest daughter-in-law, who is the nephew of Madam Gao. She got the servant of the lady who was washing the house. She blocked me at the door of the mansion this morning and said..."

Green Artemisia's face flushed, she paused in embarrassment, looked up at Li Qing, bent her knees,

"My wife, please forgive me, then... the wife said that on the morning of the seventh day of the lunar month, the mattress that the eldest lady sent to the washing was covered with all the things... She was so scared that she carefully checked the lady's underwear and other clothes, and they were all clean, only on the mattress. In the next few days, until this morning, except for one day in the middle, the mattress was clean, and the other days were dirty every day. She didn't dare to let someone see it, so she washed it secretly and then let it be washed away by other people."

Li Qing sat upright in shock, frowned and looked at the Green Artemisia. The Green Artemisia looked at her with a wry smile, and continued to say:

"I went to inquire about my son-in-law's whereabouts. On the night of the sixth day of the lunar month, my son-in-law and the eldest son had a long talk all night. They stayed in the ginkgo courtyard to rest. They went back to stay on the seventh day of the lunar month. In the next few days, the eldest son made an appointment with my son-in-law Tanwen to have a drink almost every day, and stayed at the third son's mansion for one night. They either didn't stay in the mansion or... they were just drunk."

The voice of Green Artemisia fell, Li Qing's face became colder a little, his breath was rapid and slightly unstable. Green Artemisia moved its steps uneasy.

"lady?"

Li Qing raised his hand to stop the Green Artemisia, closed his eyes,

"You arranged that wife?"

"Back to Madam, yes!"

"Did you accompany me alone, or did the whole family get married together?"

"When I went back to my wife, I didn't dare to arrange for the whole family to accompany me, so I just let the wife get married alone."

Green Artemisia replied uneasyly, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. Now you go to Mama Zheng, pass on my words, and give the wife's husband and children to Qiuyue, and ask them to follow Qiuyue to Jinchuan Mansion, and then go to find the wife, and say my words. The eldest lady, if you serve her carefully for a while, I will ask someone to send her to Jinchuan Mansion. If there is a little noise because of her... Her family will change the Jinchuan Mansion to the Hall of Yama!"

Green Artemisia bent her knees agreed, Li Qing looked at her, paused for a while, and explained softly:

"Since you have followed me, you will inevitably get involved in some things. Just remember that you should forget everything you should forget. If you have any uneasiness in your heart, come and talk to me."

Green Artemisia looked at Li Qing gratefully,

"Madam, I understand."

Li Qing nodded,

"You go and ask Ding Er to come and see me."

Green Artemisia quits her knees. Soon after, Ding Er entered the study room and asked her to stand up and wait for instructions. Li Qing sat straight on the kang, his face gloomy, and he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice:

"You go and check what's wrong with the young lady's yard, especially on the night of the sixth day of the lunar month, who did anything? Now there are people in the young lady's room, and who is the one who is there? You can check this matter yourself, quietly, and you can't alarm anyone, including the master."

Ding Er was stunned and immediately agreed respectfully. Li Qing paused and then ordered:

"Let me find someone safe and check it out quietly. In the past few days when my grandfather and I were not in the palace, the whereabouts of the eldest son and my son-in-law, the more detailed the better. Both things should be fast, go."

Ding Er's expression became solemn, nodded heavily and agreed, and left.

King Ping was busy until the beginning of Xu, and returned to Chunxiyuan. Li Qing picked him up and waited for him to wash and change his clothes. After dinner, King Ping lay on the kang on the east wing with his hands and feet, and sighed slowly.

"The Second Prince's Mansion has held three funerals in less than half a month."

Li Qing lowered his eyes and put the cup in his hand on a few. King Ping turned his head to look at her, reached out to bring her over, and whispered:

"I asked someone to go over and put in an incense stick on Shen."

Li Qing leaned on King Ping's chest, silently not speaking. King Ping turned his head, looked at her carefully, slowly stroked her back with his hands, and comforted gently:

"I didn't take the box handed over by Zhao Yong to show you. The matter has been over. Shen's funeral was very grand and decent, so don't think too much about it."

Li Qing was silent and nodded for a while. Ping Wang breathed a sigh of relief and suggested with a smile:

"Let Kitaji do a few rituals."

"Need not."

Li Qing said depressedly,

"If the rituals are useful, I'm afraid... they don't want to accept these rituals of you and me. If they are useless, they don't have to do it. I just feel a little tired."

King Ping took Li Qing into his arms, was silent for a moment before saying with a smile:

"I know you are a lazy person. If it weren't for me, how could you be so worried? When we take the west of Luoshui, we will rest well. You can rest well, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Li Qing closed his eyes and didn't say anything for a long time.

At the right time the next day, Ding Er reported to enter the study room and asked An. He coughed awkwardly with a slight discomfort:

"Go back to Madam, Immortal... Last night, Immortal found out yesterday that on the night of the sixth day of the lunar month, the eldest young master kept his son-in-law talking all night, and Sun Yi gave two girls who were said to be good at massage to the eldest lady. These two girls were the ones of the husband of Xi Dihong. They broke the eldest lady's body around the sixth day of the lunar month. From the night of the sixth day of the lunar month, these two girls were on the night of the lunar month."

Li Qing closed his eyes, and a deep sadness slid across his heart. Lin Hongmin was so young...

Ding Er looked up at Li Qing and then reported:

"These two **s are very handsome, wearing maid outfits, and there is almost no sign of strangeness. At this moment, in the Liu family courtyard... Fortunately, in the past few days, the son-in-law has been with the eldest son almost every day. The eldest son-in-law took his son-in-law to Wanhualou to drink flower wine twice, and the son-in-law wants to enjoy the fragrance of Wanhualou once."

Ding Er's voice was so plain that there was no ups and downs. Li Qing squinted his eyes and felt his heart turbulently and he was about to vomit.

Li Qing suppressed his mind, picked up the cup and took a few sips of tea slowly, and ordered in a cold voice:

"Tell me what I said, let Liu Qingyang set off and return to Yuanhecheng immediately, go home and study behind closed doors, come to participate in the Pingyang Mansion Examination next year, and you are not allowed to leave home before the examination! Lin Hongmin is sick, so she will be kept in Pingyang Mansion first, and then send her back when she is well."

Ding Er bowed and agreed. Li Qing put down his cup, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then ordered:

"I will tell you about the eldest young master and his son-in-law visiting Wanhua Building. For other matters, you are not allowed to mention a single word!"

Ding Er respectfully agreed. Li Qing came out of the mood for a while, looked at Ding Er and said slowly:

"This matter will fall on you. If there is a rumor about Liu Family Courtyard, you know the consequences! Without my permission, Lin Hongmin is not allowed to leave Liu Family Courtyard for half a step!"

Ding Er agreed heavily, and when he saw that Li Qing had no orders, he carefully left.

After the Lantern Festival, the royal family became nervous and busy. Li Qing began to follow King Ping to the study room every day to handle government affairs. On the sixth day of the second month, King Ping refused Li Qing and left a thousand black-clad guards in Pingyang Mansion and took people to Shangling Pass.

Just after Chen Chu, officials came in from both sides of the entrance of the study room on both sides of the spacious doors. The servant took the booklet and had decided the time to reply, and asked him to the east wing, and the others to the west wing.

The official entered the house and just sat down. The little girl standing at the door brought tea. The original bench in the house was replaced with an armchair, and there were about twenty pieces of old elm wood in front of each chair. In front of the chairs were each filled with small silk-wrapped porcelain plates, a few fresh snacks were filled with them.

The seven or eight officials sitting in the room were sitting upright, looking at the armchair in confusion, the height of the two, tea and snacks. The official in red who was sitting in the innermost part suddenly swallowed his saliva, patted his thighs heavily, reached out to weigh a piece of snacks and put them in his mouth, chewed them a few times, raised his head and swallowed them, picked up the cup and drank two sips of water, and then spoke:

"Xiaguan... is rude! Xiaguan came from Wangxiang Post and got up. Yinchu hasn't reached it. So far, I'm so hungry that I don't have this snack. I'm not looking at this snack, this hot tea! We... Xiaguan is so hungry that I can't stand it anymore!"

The officials next to him laughed and gradually relaxed. One or two officials took the cup and started drinking tea.

Lin Yunbo appeared at the door with a folding fan. The officials in the room hurriedly got up, bowed and greeted him. Lin Yunbo smiled, closed the fan, pointed with a fan, and said with a smile:

"Sit and sit, you don't need to be too polite."

Lin Yunbo gave in to everyone and sat in the armchair near the door, and said with a smile:

"Don't let me give you too much, just here. There are so many chairs that can't be divided into the top and bottom? I'll find a cheap place. It's the most convenient place to have tea and snacks here."

The little girl smiled and made tea and brought it up. Lin Yunbo took the cup and looked at the little girl and asked with a smile:

"Which girl did you follow?"

"Go back to the third master, I am following Sister Shui Su on duty."

The little girl replied with a smile, bent her knees and stepped back to the door and stood there.

Lin Yunbo nodded, reached out to weigh a snack, took a bite slowly, turned around and looked at everyone and asked:

"Eat, why don't you? I came here specially to eat dim sum this morning. This is the snack made in Chunxiyuan's kitchen. The snacks in Banxiantang are far behind this one! Eat quickly!"

As he said that, he ate his own snack, picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea, and nodded with satisfaction.
