Mei Qiying didn't seem to look at it, and she was as calm as ever.

Shen Yan was carrying Huo Yan's handkerchief, but she always felt that she had a soldering iron in her cuff. When he was busy, he wanted to find him back, but he had already gone back first.

Shen Xi was slightly aware of Shen Yan's thoughts, but before there was a new development in their affairs, she decided to leave it alone.

After luncheon, I had a cup of tea, and then I went back to the palace.

In a few days, the Shen family's mansion will have to go to the palace to have a banquet to recognize relatives, and then there will be countless banquets.

On the way back, Xiao Huai secretly asked Shen Xi: "Did the family urge us to have a child sooner?"

Shen Xi blushed and said angrily: "Let me take it easy, don't worry." ”

Xiao Huai smiled evilly, and sat back on the horse proudly.

After returning to the palace, there were naturally things to do, and Shen Xi and Qi Jiu stared at Liu Menglan's thread intently.

The day was peaceful.

Zhaoyang Palace has added a hostess, and the palace has not changed much at first glance, but there is still a little more peace under the details.

Especially Xiao Huai, who didn't stay in the palace much in the past, now as long as he has nothing to do, then he will be where Shen Xi is.

And Shen Xi, as a bride, where will he stay if he doesn't stay in the palace?

The chef in the dining room has recently added a lot of meals suitable for women to the menu.

The banquet for the Shen family to come to the palace to recognize their relatives is scheduled for three days later, and the palace has its own special functions to handle these.

Seeing that the lotus flowers in the garden were blooming vigorously, Shen Xi took some pearl shells back and dried them first, and then used them to make incense.

"Tomorrow I will go to the banquet in Wuningbo's Mansion, and in the morning, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Weiyuan has already sent a note. ”

With one hand on the cuffs, Pearl gracefully notes the number of petals and the color of the lotus on a lightly scented piece of paper.

Shen Xi picked the petals one by one and said, "How is Qi Jiu's side?"

"These two days followed, I came back in the morning, and I went out again just now, because she was not happy about Liu Menglan's matter. Pearl said.

At the beginning, Liu Menglan was found by her, who knew that the other person was real, it was the imperial doctor in the Qin Palace, yes, but her hands and feet were not clean behind her back.

Out of such a basket, although Shen Xi is not to blame, she herself feels shameless.

Shen Xi didn't expect her to be so serious, and said, "If she comes back, tell me." ”

Qi Jiu has always worked hard, if she really pulls out any big fish, wouldn't it be dangerous for her to do it alone?

Pearl agreed, and handed the written flower note to the little maids to press it up.

When Shen Xi was worried about Qi Jiu, Qi Jiu was already sitting with Wu Teng in a small teahouse on the bank of the Guanzi River.

She is wearing a very ordinary woman's dress today, while Wu Teng is dressed as a small businessman.

Twilight shone obliquely into the tea shed, and the surrounding area was noisy and noisy, as if it was thousands of miles away from the imperial court.

However, it is in this kind of market that the most unexpected side is often hidden.

"When it gets dark, let's go in and have a look. Qi Jiu glanced at the gambling house diagonally opposite and said.

A place like a gambling house is the most revealing of a person, but it is also the most able to hide a person.

"I'm sure it's that guy. She stared firmly at the man in the opposite window.

After putting Liu Menglan's piece of paper back in its place a few days ago, she squatted for a day, and no one came to pick it up.

And at last when she almost gave up, a man dressed as a commoner circled the tree, and he did not reach out to explore the hole in the tree, but went around twice as if nothing had happened.

Out of the instinct of many years of shadow guards, she set her sights on this person.

However, after two days, there was nothing unusual except that he found out that he was a serious citizen of the city. And half an hour ago, she stared at him again into the gambling house.

If she hadn't noticed anything else wrong with him, she would have to arrest him tonight and try him.

Wu Teng said: "Liu Menglan sent the news that the young master left the house in the middle of the night, the matter has long passed, and it is normal that they have not come to pick up the note again." ”

He said that he didn't know if Qi Jiu's feelings were right, but he only felt that her hopes might be disappointed.

"Whether it's him or not, you'll know if you catch him and interrogate him. ”

Qi Jiu drank tea, and while letting the boss serve two large bowls of mutton noodles, he added two more side dishes.

After eating slowly, the sky gradually darkened, and the two of them paid and walked towards the person watching the gambling in the opposite window.

However, as soon as he reached the door, the man suddenly turned his head to look out the window, and quietly disappeared into the crowd!

"You guard here, don't let him play any tricks!" Qi Jiu noticed something wrong, and immediately explained to Wu Teng, and walked into the door quickly.

The people of the Great Zhou were open, not to mention that Qi Jiu acted extremely fast, so no one paid attention when he came in, and when she saw the person lifting the curtain and going to the backyard from a distance, she immediately chased after him lightly.

There is also a door in the backyard, and this person walked out unhurriedly without looking back, and when he arrived in the alley, he suddenly sped up his pace and walked deeper into the alley.

Twilight has covered the land, and the light in this deep alley is still faint, but it is difficult to defeat the shadow guards from the iron camp.

After a long time, things changed, and at this point, Qi Jiu no longer hesitated, and accelerated his speed and grabbed the back of the man's heart!

However, when her hand was still three feet away from his back, a shadow suddenly fell over her head!

A net was scattered all over her head, and in a hurry, she quickly pulled out her soft sword and slashed it, but she couldn't cut through it in the slightest......

Shen Xi was a little uneasy.

At dinner, the chef made exquisite southern dishes, and she only moved slightly.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Huai finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Eat so little every day, don't marry and become thinner." ”

"I'm worried about Qi Jiu. She said worriedly, "I haven't seen her back all day, will something happen to her?"

In this year, Qi Jiu is like her shadow, even if she goes out to do things for her, she will come back every few hours to show her face or send a message.

But now a day has passed, and Pearl said that she went out in the morning and did not come back, and she was really afraid that she would have some accident.

Xiao Huai thought for a moment and called Su Yan: "Let the guards go to find where Qi Jiu went?" ”

Su Yan hurriedly went.

Xiao Huai retracted his gaze and gave her a cloth: "Eat a good meal first." ”

……

The net was tightened as soon as the hood came down, and no matter how fast Qi Jiu's soft sword was, it couldn't be faster than the person who closed the net!

"Take it away!"

The cold voice made her heart sink sharply, and her mind immediately cleared!

She capsized in the gutter, but she was attacked by the other party!

Two men in black jumped out of the darkness, and one of them raised his hand to slash at her neck!

She was now in bondage, and there was nothing she could do about him!

But how could she sit still?

When that palm arrived, she had already pulled something from her waist and threw it through the mesh to the ground......

Su Yan took Wu Teng back in two quarters of an hour: "Qi Jiu is gone!"

Shen Xi swayed a cup of tea in his hand, splashing a puddle of water and wetting his skirt.
