Li Xia returned to the palace, and after three or four days, King Qin came back with an unkempt appearance.

After receiving the emperor's order, he sent the Empress Dowager's coffin to the Daxiangguo Temple, and then went directly to the imperial mausoleum to check where the Empress Dowager Jin was buried.

Li Xia walked straight to the second door. King Qin looked at Li Xia, who was holding up her skirt and rushing towards him, and hurriedly stepped aside, "Don't come here, you are dirty and... stink."

Li Xia ignored his retreat, rushed straight to him, grabbed his arm, stretched his head towards him, sniffed, "Well, it stinks, are you okay?"

"It's okay." He couldn't explain why, but King Qin felt hot in his heart, and tears almost came to his eyes.

"It's okay, you've lost a whole lot of weight, ugh." Li Xia sighed softly, "How about the imperial mausoleum? Are we really going to be buried together?"

Burial together is the emperor's wish.

"The entrance to the late emperor's mausoleum has been poured with copper liquid. Unless it is smashed, the tomb passage cannot be opened." King Qin said in a relaxed tone.

Li Xia let out a long sigh of relief, "That's great."

The Queen Mother did not leave any last words about her funeral, but both she and King Qin felt that the Queen Mother must not be willing to be buried with the late Emperor, and the late Emperor probably was not willing either.

Now it seems that the intention of sealing the tomb passage with copper juice, whether it was the late emperor...well, it can only be the intention of the queen mother, who has already expressed her attitude with actions.

"Are you okay?" King Qin looked down at Li Xia carefully and asked tentatively.

"Fortunately, Concubine Yao Xian wanted to be attached, so I agreed on my own initiative and asked Duan Yan to pass the message to Guo Sheng. The case of Feng Fuhai had to be made, and the case of the Xiong family in Chenliu Town also had to be brought out...

"

"Chenliuzhen Xiong family case?" King Qin frowned. He couldn't remember what the case was... It wasn't that he couldn't remember, but that he didn't know what the case was.

"This was the first murder case that Chen Jiang found out when he took over the case of the whole family and his son five years ago. Because Zhao Changhai was implicated, I was worried about taking out this case first, and the case of Xiao Gong.

, fearing that the investigation could no longer continue, he asked Guo Sheng to send away the victim, Xiong Da and his family.

This happened when Zhao Yuanshu first got married. Zhao Yuanshu’s wife, Jiang, had two dowry villagers in Chenliu Town. The Xiong family’s land between them was about 100 acres. Before she got married, Jiang wanted to connect these two villages.

As one, the Xiong family refused to sell it.

Later, the Xiong family was so obsessed that they entrusted the 100 acres of land to Huangzhuang in order to evade taxes and taxes.

After Jiang married into the Zhao family, Zhao Yuanshu found Quan You and bought the fields of the Xiong family from Quan You. The old man of the Xiong family was so angry that he killed him. Xiong's younger brother was beaten to death after arguing with Huangzhuang.

, in order to avoid future troubles, the Xiong family was wiped out, and only Xiong Da’s family escaped.”

Li Xia explained the Chenliuzhen Xiong family case in great detail.

"Although the Xiong family is pitiful, it can be regarded as... self-inflicted evil. No wonder the Zhao family. Besides, Zhao Yuanshu died a long time ago. What do you mean?" King Qin listened carefully and frowned.

"It's just confusing the formation and muddying the waters." Li Xia's voice was low, "I left as soon as the queen said she was going to leave. People who are almost seventy years old say that people who live seventy years ago are rare. It can be considered a joy and mourning, courtiers, especially

I'm a foreign official, so I won't think too much about it, but..."

After pausing for a moment, Li Xia looked at the sad King Qin, and then said: "The funeral ceremony for the queen is too simple and sloppy. I'm afraid the courtiers and foreign officials will have to think more about it and weigh it individually. They have to weigh it, or

Let them consider more than just this one thing before making a decision."

At the end of the sentence, Li Xia's voice was filled with coldness.

Hearing the simple words about the funeral, King Qin's face turned slightly green. Li Xia looked at his face and changed the subject, "First take a good bath, eat something good, and have a good sleep. When you rest and feel better,

Let’s talk about other things. Where is the Crown Prince? He has returned home? Where is General Lu?”

"They have all gone back. They are more tired than me." King Qin followed the words and changed the subject.

Back in the main courtyard, Li Xia was busy watching people waiting on King Qin to bathe and wash. After eating some soup and rice, he lowered the curtains and let him have a good sleep.

King Qin slept well and did not wake up until dawn the next day.

Li Xia had already gotten up, walked around the garden, cut a few bunches of flowers and came back, and was arranging them in vases.

"Fifth brother said you got up early, but I didn't expect you to get up so early." King Qin came out of the room and stood behind Li Xia, who was weighing the flowers. He admired the half-filled vase of flowers.

"You go and wash up. Let's have breakfast. I'll send someone to the Changsha Palace to ask the Crown Prince to come over early. There's also Guo Sheng. We have to work hard for a while." Li Xia spoke solemnly, but his expression and tone were relaxed and cheerful.

King Qin hummed, stood and watched for a while, leaned over and kissed Li Xia on the forehead, then turned and went to the clean room.

Li Xia paused with the flower scissors in his hand, turned to look at King Qin who had walked away, and breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could bear these things better than he expected.

King Qin came out after washing up. Li Xia had just placed several vases of flowers and was standing in the middle of the room, instructing a few little girls to place them here and there. King Qin walked to Li Xia and stood close to her, following her gaze.

Looking at several bottles of flowers, he pointed to one of them and said, "Let's put this vase in the study. The vase of flowers in the study is not as good as this one."

"That's right, I personally selected and planted these flowers. These are the best flowers in the house. You can take this vase of flowers to the study and hand it over to Kexi at the gate of the courtyard. He will know where to put it." Li

Xia pointed at the little girl and ordered.

After several little girls set out with vases of flowers and Duan Yan came in with a suitcase to set out the meal, King Qin leaned into Li Xia's ear and said, "Don't be too careful. They are all your people. The people in this mansion,

It’s been more than ten years, and I can still trust it.”

"First, the rules cannot be wrong. Second, people will change. You must use rules to control people." Li Xia turned around, pointed his finger on King Qin's chest, and said seriously.

"Okay. I'll listen to you." King Qin showed a faint smile, smelling the fragrance of the food, and felt hungry for a while, but felt that everything in front of him was very different from the past, and suddenly became bright and warm.

On the table were rice oil and millet porridge, a plate of small steamed buns and oil and salt flower rolls, anchovies, king melon mixed with golden shrimps, mixed with pickled bamboo shoots and a plate of stir-fried cabbage sum, which was refreshing and simple.

King Qin first poured a bowl of rice oil and drank it, then drank a bowl of millet porridge, and ate most of a plate of steamed buns and flower rolls. Then he put down his chopsticks and looked at Li Xia, who had only eaten a bowl of millet porridge and a small steamed bun.

"Is this what you usually eat at home?"

"The food I usually eat at home is much richer than this. You are tired these days and can't eat greasy food." Li Xia said with a smile.

King Qin's face darkened, Li Xia gargled his mouth and hands, stood up, and while holding King Qin's arm and walking out, he said in a low voice: "Think about your Majesty, you should live well, live happily and comfortably, don't think too much, let's go first
