Early the next morning, someone suddenly came from Jinyang Mansion, Chu Qingruo called someone into the study, took the letter and looked at it, but it contained a letter written by Mingzong.

The letter said that a few days ago, there was a haunted news in the palace of a concubine, and the people in the harem were panicked. Queen Cheng Yujiao has always been bold, and after hearing it, she took the veteran Xiong Ping, and the two of them each carried a steel knife in their hands, stayed in the palace of the concubine for a night, and pulled out the little eunuch who pretended to be a ghost.

After being tortured, the dying little eunuch confessed that he had been tricked by the cult and pretended to be a ghost in the palace to deceive people, so as to achieve the goal of inviting the demons of the cult into the palace, expelling the evil spirits, and defrauding money.

Mingzong was furious.

The thieves dared to deceive and deceive all of them into the palace, and this is worth it!

Immediately, a secret letter was sent to Chu Qingruo, hoping that she would quietly check this cult, and if she could, eradicate it by the way. However, Mingzong deliberately took care of this matter in his letter, so as not to cause turmoil in the hearts of the people.

Chu Qingruo understood that this matter was related to the royal face.

After reading the letter, Chu Qingruo proceeded to reply to Mingzong, in which he told Mingzong that he had encountered cases related to the Demon God Sect along the way during this time. She also told him the origin of the Demon God Sect in detail, and finally told him that she was already working on this matter, and had already eradicated a branch altar, so please don't worry.

After receiving the letter, the visitor withdrew and hurried away. Fu Lingyun just walked to the door of the study, and when she saw her sitting on the chair in a daze with a heavy face, she couldn't help but ask with concern, "What's the trouble?" ”

Chu Qingruo came back to his senses and explained to him in detail what Mingzong said in his letter, and after hearing this, Fu Lingyun's face also became heavy. It seems that this cult is really pervasive, and it has infiltrated the harem, which should not be underestimated.

The two were talking affectionately, discussing what to do next, when suddenly a scream came from outside the study. Fu Lingyun frowned, summoned a personal attendant, and glanced at him: "Go and see!" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Duan'er running into the study like a frightened rabbit, with his hair disheveled and his bare feet, and when he saw Fu Lingyun, who was talking with a hand on Chu Qingruo's shoulder, he ran over quickly, got into the middle of the two, and took his hand off Chu Qingruo's shoulder and put it on his shoulder.

Fu Lingyunjun's face instantly froze, and without thinking, he withdrew his hand, stood behind Chu Qingruo with his sleeves brushed, turned his back to them, and stood with his hands in his hands: "Nonsense!" Get out! ”

Duan'er felt like a hot face against a cold ass, and stood there in embarrassment for a while, not knowing what to do, and her face was blue and red. His eyes rolled, and then he took Chu Qingruo's hand again: "Madam, they don't know what medicine to give me, it's so bitter and unpleasant, I don't drink it, they just force it according to me, madam, please, don't let me drink that medicine again." ”

Although Chu Qingruo didn't like her in his heart, he was a child after all, and he looked at herself so pitifully, after all, he still treated her very badly. So he softened his voice and said, "Duan'er, that medicine can cure your memory, and everyone is for your good." ”

When Duan'er heard this, she raised her face and almost cried: "Madam, that medicine is really bitter, I really don't want to drink it." As he spoke, his eyes secretly glanced at Fu Lingyun, who was standing behind Chu Qingruo, and saw that he was still indifferent with his back to him, and his face couldn't help but be disappointed.

Chu Qingruo suddenly understood, she had come to Wen Yuan to sell pity and sympathy, and she felt slightly unhappy in her heart, but she still patiently explained to her: "Good medicine is bitter, if you are afraid of bitterness, I will have someone send you some candied fruit later." ”

Duan'er saw that he had been begging for a long time, but Fu Lingyun didn't look at him, so he had to follow Chu Qingruo's words and go down the stairs for himself: "Okay, thank you, madam." ”

Chu Qingruo let go of her hand with a smile, walked to the door, called the subordinates in the palace to advise, and led her to go. After she left, she thought about it, beckoned Han Xiaobai to come over, and whispered in his ear. Han Xiaobai was originally happy when she heard adults call her. Waiting for him to come over happily, he didn't expect Chu Qingruo to order such a thing, and he immediately lowered his face, looking worse than death: "My lord, this, such a thing, villain, villain is afraid that it is ......"

Fu Lingyun turned around, curious about what Chu Qingruo had told him to do to make this seven-foot man embarrassed like this. Chu Qingruo laughed when he heard Han Xiaobai's complaints: "I know it's difficult for you, but Han Zhutou, please look at General Gao's face, just help me with this!" ”

Han Xiaobai was unwilling and frightened, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "My lord, my words are serious." Originally, it was right for adults to send villains to do things, but villains ...... The villain has a fierce wife, if she knows, I'm afraid of ...... The villain's ears can't be saved. ”

Even Fu Lingyun laughed out loud at this time, although he didn't know what Chu Qingruo asked him to do, but from Han Xiaobai's words, he guessed a few points, what she asked Han Xiaobai to do must be related to women.

Han Xiaobai looked at Fu Lingyun for help, but unexpectedly, this man, who valued his wife in everything, only turned around and entered the study with an expressionless face, picked up a book and sat down, and pretended to look at it.

Seeing that there was no way to ask for help, Han Xiaobai had to nod helplessly: "That's okay, but when the time comes, you have to help me explain to my lady." ”

Chu Qingruo chuckled: "This is nature. ”

In the evening, Chu Qingruo was reading the official document alone in the study, and saw Duan'er standing at the door timidly poking his head out, looking around in the study, so he put down the official document and asked in a deep voice: "Duan'er, what are you doing at the door?" ”

Duan'er smiled, raised her legs and walked in, Chu Qingruo saw the tray in her hand, and there was a small bowl of blue and white porcelain on the tray: "Madam, you review the official document every day late at night, Duan'er will send you some supper, you are reading the official document after eating." ”

Chu Qingruo frowned: "No need, you go back and rest." ”

"Madame...... Don't you like Duan'er......" Putting the tray on the bookcase, Duan'er stood in front of Chu Qingruo with her head bowed, looking like she was about to cry, looking at her toes, and asked cautiously.

Chu Qingruo didn't know what to say for a while, she just felt that this child was a little inexplicable, did it matter if she liked her or not? She is just a homeless child taken in by the yamen, and when her parents come, although her parents will turn back, why does this child always make her feel like a concubine who has just passed the door? is also a concubine who was bullied by the vicious big house, and she is the wife of the vicious big house!

It's a strange feeling, she's just a ten-year-old child!

Holding her forehead and shaking it gently, Chu Qingruo pressed the strange thought that arose in her heart, and in order to let her go out quickly, she had to pick up the bowl and pretend to taste it: "Okay, I will eat it, thank you, you go back and rest, I still have some official documents to read." ”

Duan'er raised her head, looked at Chu Qingruo with wet eyes, and saw her pick up the bowl and take a bite, so she burst into tears and smiled: "Okay, Madam remember to finish eating it, then I'll go and rest first." ”

"Well, go ahead." Chu Qingruo nodded.

With a satisfied smile on her childish little face, she walked to the door of the study, quietly lowered her head and glanced at Chu Qingruo, who was holding a bowl behind her, and let out a sneer that was incomprehensible and inconsistent with her age, and then straightened her back and walked out of the study with her feet raised.

She walked on the front foot, and behind the innermost bookshelf in the study on the back foot, Fu Lingyun walked out, looking at the direction the child was walking, thoughtfully.

Chu Qingruo put down the bowl and said to Fu Lingyun: "If it weren't for Master reminding me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that this kid would ......."

With a cold snort, Fu Lingyun's face rose with a murderous aura. took the bowl that Chu Qingruo was holding just now, and splashed the contents on a bamboo in the study. After a while, the originally green bamboo began to wither and wither from its roots, and it still emitted a pungent rancid smell.

Chu Qingruo's face turned white all of a sudden, if it weren't for Fu Lingyun gesturing to her behind the bookshelf and telling her not to drink, I was afraid that she would be like this Wenzhu at this moment.

"How can such a young child be so vicious? Wen Yuan, what is the origin of this child? Chu Qingruo really couldn't figure it out, I'm afraid he had already seen that there was something wrong with this child, but why did he keep silent and bring her back to the mansion?

Fu Lingyun made a silent gesture at her, walked to the door of the study with a light step, glanced out of the door before turning around and lowering his voice: "I suspect that she is also a member of the cult. ”

Chu Qingruo was a little surprised: "Such a young child! ”

Fu Lingyun made sure that no one was eavesdropping near the study before he put his mind at ease, walked back to Chu Qingruo's desk and sat down: "That day, when I broke the altar, I was going to arrest the demon girl Green Bead. All the way to the back garden of the Jiang family, he suddenly killed all the way, and was accidentally escaped by the demon girl in the chaos. After Uncle Xu took down all the people, I led people to search inside and outside Jiang's house. Later, she was found disheveled in the basement of a dry well. ”

Chu Qingruo asked again: "You didn't find the green bead?" ”

"Exactly. You think, the entire Jiang family has already laid a net of heaven and earth, and it is impossible for the demon girl to escape, how can she disappear without a trace. Moreover, when I found Duan'er, although she was only wearing a dirty dress, her loose pants did not fit, and a pair of shoes were thrown on the side, but I recognized it! ”

"Oh?" Chu Qingruo's eyes widened, and he looked at him, waiting for his next step.

Fu Lingyun unconsciously took the knick-knacks on the bookcase, held them in his hands and played with them, and said in a long and heavy tone: "It's the green bead shoes." ”

Chu Qingruo's expression was clear, but he asked rhetorically: "How can you see it?" ”
