After dinner, Luo Qinghan went to take a bath as usual.

When he came back with a body of warm water, he saw Xixi sitting beside the bed, reading the book in front of the candlelight.

She was so engrossed in it that she didn't even notice that someone was coming in.

It wasn't until Luo Qinghan walked to her side and took the words from her hand that she came back to her senses.

She raised her head and looked at Luo Qinghan, muttering dissatisfied.

"Why did you steal my book?"

These are the words book for participating in the competition. She just flipped through it casually and found a very interesting word book. Just as she was reading it with gusto, she was interrupted by someone.

Luo Qinghan closed the book, put it on the table next to him, and said quietly.

"Reading at night is not good for your eyes. Wait until tomorrow to read it during the day. Anyway, the book is here and I can't run."

Xiao Xixi: "But I was seeing a wonderful place just now, when I suddenly stopped, I felt itchy in my heart, and I couldn't sleep at all."

Luo Qinghan: "This is easy to handle, just wait."

He picked up the book again, turned to the last page, and read out the contents without a word.

His voice was very nice, low and sweet, and the speed of his speech was not too slow or slow, and it was very comfortable to hear, but Xiao Xixi was directly blown away.

"You're a spoiler!"

After Luo Qinghan finished reading the ending, he closed the book again, and said calmly, "Is your heart still itchy now?"

Xiao Xixi: "..."

OK, you are ruthless!

She crawled onto the bed angrily and lay down straight, her eyes wide open, like a big salted fish that can't rest.

Luo Qinghan lay down beside her, reached out and hugged the salted fish into his arms, lowered his head and kissed the top of her hair, whispering.

"Go to sleep."

...

next morning.

Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan just finished their breakfast when Min Jieyu came to greet them.

She was still the same as before, and after saying goodbye, she left.

Xiao Xixi continued to read her words.

At this time, Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu came. They came to play cards with the imperial concubine.

Xiao Xixi said, "I'm reading a book today, so I don't have time to play cards."

Yao Jieyu's curiosity has always been very heavy. At this time, she noticed the stack of books on the hand of the imperial concubine, and couldn't help asking.

"What book is your concubine reading?"

Xiao Xixi knocked on the book beside him and said with a smile, "I asked someone to hold a storybook contest. These are mostly storybooks that came to the competition. Would you like to read them? There are many interesting stories in it."

Concubine Li and Yao Jieyu had secretly read the storybook at home before they left the cabinet, and they were quite interested in those bizarre stories.

Hearing what the imperial concubine said at this time, he was immediately aroused.

The two leaned over, picked two scriptures, and sat beside them to read.

As a result, I fell in love with God.

Yao Jieyu was watching a story about a pair of lovers who were deeply in abusive relationship. When she saw the emotional part, she couldn't help but redden her eyes.

Woohoo, the hero and heroine are so pitiful!

Concubine Li was watching the story of a poor woman who was deceived by a scumbag.

When she saw that the heroine was slapped by the concubine while the scumbag watched indifferently, she was so angry that she almost bit her silver teeth.

Ahhh!

Scumbag bitch! I want to strangle them!

When Baoqin walked in, what she saw was Yao Jieyu weeping silently and Concubine Li gnashing her teeth.

She couldn't help but pause, her eyes stopped for a moment on the two of them, and finally she turned to the imperial concubine, and said in a low voice.

"Princess Concubine, Shang Kui has something to ask for."

Xiao Xixi reluctantly put down the script, got up and walked out.

She walked into the courtyard and saw Shang Kui who was standing upright in the courtyard.

Shang Kui bowed to salute.

"I will meet the noble concubine at the end of the day."

This is not the place to talk, Xiao Xixi took him to the backyard.

Seeing the large vegetable garden, Shang Kui's expression became very subtle.

I have long heard that the imperial concubine grows vegetables and raises chickens in the palace, but when I see it with my own eyes, I still find it hard to say.

The two walked into a small pavilion by the river.

It's a great place to talk.

Xiao Xixi said, "What's the matter with you coming to Ben Gong?"

Shang Kui cupped his hands and replied, "If you go back to Niangniang, you will be here to attack the incense hall at the end."

Before, the imperial concubine asked Yu Linwei to keep an eye on the people of the Su family.

Yu Linwei discovered that the eldest son of the Su family, Min Jieyu's elder brother, often went to Xixiang Pavilion to play on weekdays.

This is not a strange thing. Many dudes, dignitaries and dignitaries in Shengjing City like to go to the incense hall to have fun.

But to be on the safe side, Xiao Xixi still asked Yu Linwei to pay more attention to the movement of the Xixiang Pavilion. If there is a chance, it is best to get close to the eldest son of Su to see if he can tell something about Min Jieyu from his mouth. .

The reason why Xiao Xixi went to Xixiang Pavilion yesterday was not only to see the world, but also to enter Xixiang Pavilion to inquire about Su Da Gongzi.

It's a pity that she accidentally drank too much yesterday and forgot about the inquiries.

Xiao Xixi was quite interested: "Did you find something?"

Shang Kui answered truthfully: "Last night, there was a girl in the Xixiang Pavilion who was carried to the Hongguo Gongfu. After entering the Hongguo Gongfu, she did not leave until the early hours of this morning."

Xiao Xixi was puzzled: "Is there any problem?"

Although recruiting prostitutes may sound a bit indecent, it is not surprising that this kind of thing is very common in the circle of aristocratic families.

Shang Kui said in a deep voice.

"The problem is that the girl died shortly after returning to the Xixiang Pavilion.

I heard that he died because he accidentally broke his head, and the body was rushed out of the city and thrown into the mass grave for burial.

The last commander led someone to quietly follow behind them, and after they left, the last commander led someone to dig out the girl's body.

After inspection, the girl did look like she had broken her head.

But she had scratch marks on the back of her neck and her hair was messy.

Apparently, someone grabbed the back of the neck and hair, and slammed into the wall or the ground to death. "

It was a murder, not an accident.

It stands to reason that if a prostitute died, even if there was something strange, Yu Linwei would not care too much.

But she went to Hongguo Gongfu before her death.

This matter involves Hong Guogong, it is not simple.

Hongguo Gong is the younger brother of the mother of the empress dowager. The emperor has to call him uncle and grandpa when he sees him. His status is noble and he must be treated with caution.

Xiao Xixi pondered for a moment: "You divide a few people to stare at the Hongguo Gongfu to see if there is anything unusual in their residence recently, and continue to shoot and stare at the Xixiang Pavilion. As for the girl's body, send it to Yiyi first. Zhuang, find a painter to draw her appearance, and then find a way to find out her identity and origin."

"Here."

Shang Kui was ordered to leave.

The wind was strong by the river, Xiao Xixi didn't stay long, and went back soon.

She found Luo Qinghan who was playing chess.

"I have something to tell you."

Luo Qinghan said without raising his head: "Play chess with me."

Xiao Xixi had to sit down opposite him.

She glanced at the chess game, put down a chess piece, and said in her mouth.

"Shangkui came to me just now."
