Qi Hongxin didn't want to listen anymore, his heart was like a knife, so he could only nod: "Okay, then I'll let the maid send you out, right?" ”

"No need, I'm still quite familiar with King Wen's Mansion, I'll go out by myself."

Wen Ling left without looking back, and when he saw the housekeeper at the door, he knew it in his heart, and smiled sincerely at the housekeeper: "Thank you, butler." ”

Wen Ling left, Qi Hongxin still looked at Wen Ling's back and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when the back was no longer visible, he sighed and ordered: "Butler, go and ask everyone in the palace to gather, I haven't mentioned it for a long time, and I don't take the king's words to heart one by one?" ”

The housekeeper left happily, he had long felt that since this side concubine came, the entire palace was full of miasma, there was only one master in the past, and the subordinates could still work together, but now there is one more side concubine, and one by one has a careful thought.

Originally, the people in the palace liked Miss Wen very much, but because of the accident in the Wen Mansion, this group of people felt that Miss Wen was an orphan girl and helpless, and gradually, some people's hearts were a little shaken.

It's good to take advantage of this beating, so that this group of people knows that even if something happens to the Wen Mansion, Miss Wen's position in the prince's heart has not changed.

After a while, the housekeeper went back and forth: "Lord, except for the side concubine's dowry girl Rui Tong, everyone else has arrived." ”

Qi Hongxin nodded and followed the housekeeper.

When they arrived at the flower hall, hundreds of people of King Wen's Mansion were neatly arranged according to the size of the rank and waiting for Qi Hongxin, and after the housekeeper stood in the first column, all the subordinates headed by the housekeeper saluted Qi Hongxin together: "Slaves see the prince" and "Slaves see the prince"

Qi Hongxin didn't call for exemption, and said bluntly: "Since the side concubine entered the mansion, this king has found that many of you've become active in their minds, and some people even dare to disobey the yang and the yin, and report the king's every move to the side concubine, what?" Have you forgotten who is the real master of this palace?

If it weren't for the fact that you suffered a lot of grievances in the years when this king was not in good health, you would have been dealt with by this king, and calling everyone here today is to warn some people

This palace is still the king's master, if anyone wants to go to the side concubine, you can bring it up yourself, if you don't go today, dare to reveal the king's whereabouts in the future, don't blame the king for being polite, and yes, the lord of Lingqin is the future princess Wen, don't you even know the most basic difference between dignity and humility? Whoever dares to bully Princess Wen in the future will be severely punished by this king.

Now, does anyone want to go to the side concubine's courtyard? Some of them now tell this king that they can leave immediately? ”

There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone lowered their heads to the dust, for fear that Qi Hongxin would see him, and his breathing would weaken a little.

Qi Hongxin looked at this group of people coldly, and said angrily: "What? None of you want to go to the side concubine's courtyard? Okay, in that case, in the future, you'd better dispel all the little ninety-nine in your heart to this king, today, all of them will stand here for me, except for the housekeeper and the cook, everyone else will stand for me until dinner to retreat. ”

Qi Hongxin's side, as soon as he walked to the study, he noticed that there were people in the study, and when he went in, there were people, and the people who came were usually dressed in black and masked.

Seeing Qi Hongxin, he knelt on one knee and clenched his fists: "Subordinates participate in the master"

Qi Hongxin asked directly, "What's wrong?" Didn't you tell you to come to me if you were okay? ”

The man in black was not annoyed by Qi Hongxin's dissatisfaction with them: "Back to the master, the subordinates came this time because there are two things to report, the first is that the people in the rivers and lakes have recently cleaned up the underground palace for a living, and the subordinates want to ask the master, do we need to fight back?"

The second is that Mr. Sun has no news, and his subordinates believe that Mr. Sun deliberately hid his traces. ”

Qi Hongxin walked to the desk at the top and sat down, and said lightly: "The underground palace doesn't rely on these livelihoods to live, let people retreat, let's open the shop, otherwise the group of crazy people on the rivers and lakes can't find an outlet, and I don't know how crazy they will be, Mr. Sun has done enough for me, let him live in peace for the rest of his life, don't look for news from him again." ”

"It's the master, what else does the master command?"

"No, don't come to me for such a trivial matter in the future, but, the prescription for curing cold poison, let the poison saint continue to look for it, don't stop."

When the people left, Qi Hongxin stood up, laid out the rice paper, grabbed the sleeve of his right hand with his left hand, took out the wolf pen and put it away, and slowly studied the ink.

After the ink was polished, the slender five fingers picked up the wolf pen and gently drew it on the rice paper, and after a while, a woman wearing a white dress, with a dragonfly embroidered with love silk on the cuffs and skirt, and a woman with elegant eyebrows and eyes appeared on the paper.

Without the slightest pause, with a few strokes, the person in the painting has already appeared vividly, as if the person who painted has painted a hundred or a thousand times, the fact is that the person who painted has really painted a hundred or a thousand times.

After finishing the painting, Qi Hongxin put down the wolf pen, stood quietly in place and stared at the person in the painting, his face was full of warmth, and he looked at it for a long time, until he felt that his neck was already a little sore, and he was shocked that it was almost dark.

Helplessly smiled bitterly, gently picked up the scroll, wrapped it gently, tied it gently, walked to the bookshelf on the side, pressed the mechanism next to it, and with a "boom", it was like a secret room opened.

Qi Hongxin walked in, skillfully placed the picture scroll on the bottom and second layer, there are tens of thousands of picture scrolls here, only Qingping knows how many such picture scrolls there are.

Putting down the picture scroll, Qi Hongxin strode out and closed the secret room, which was calm, as if this secret room had never appeared before.

Besides, on the inn's side, a group of people waited for two days, but they didn't see Xiao Jiu show up, and the people guarding it were afraid that Xiao Jiu would repeat his old tricks again, so this time, they went directly to ask.

Knowing that the situation was the same as last time, the caretaker felt that something must be wrong, so he could only leave with a smile, looking at the innkeeper looking at himself with a look that was not a good person, and the caretaker left without asking too much.

At night, the caretaker went straight to the roof, and he was very glad that this was a small town, with only two floors of inns, otherwise it would be really difficult to manage.

The caretaker gently lifted the tiles and looked down, the layout of the whole room was extraordinarily clear, this room looked like someone had indeed lived, but there was not the slightest trace of the existence of a woman or an adult.

From the rest of the food on the plate on the table, it can be seen that the person who ate it must have been a child, and the meal was only half eaten, and the chair on the bed was only hung with the child's coat.

The guards just wanted to say "not good" in their hearts, they were really too incompetent, and let Xiao Jiu run away again with the same means?

In order to verify, the caretaker rolled over, reached the edge of the tile, hooked his feet on the eaves, gently pushed the door with both hands, waited for the door to open a gap, rolled in a sprint, and successfully entered the room.

The little boy was already insecure, and his beautiful sister had been gone for several days, so he didn't sleep at this time, and when he heard the sound of someone opening the door in the guest room, he only thought that Xiao Jiu was back.

happily climbed up, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and hurriedly opened the bed tent, there was really someone in the guest room, but it was not his beautiful sister, but a strange big brother.

As a beggar over the years, the little boy has been bullied countless times, so he is very scared now, he finally met a sister, thinking that he could get out of the sea of suffering, could this sister sell him?

Thinking of this, the little boy cried silently, he didn't understand, why did his sister treat him like that, if his sister was just worried that he ate too much, he could eat less and wear poorly.

The caretaker was at a loss for a while, and he also had younger siblings at home, and he was the age of a little boy, so he adjusted his mood to make himself look more approachable.

But to no avail, he found that as soon as he walked forward, the little boy would retreat, his eyes full of hurt and unease.

The caretaker decided to sit down and have a sip of tea, and now it is obvious that Xiao Jiu has left, who is this inexplicably extra little boy? He had to figure out the situation.

If it is a family person, he has to send it back, otherwise how sad should the family be? Even if he has no home, he should send people to the good hall, such a young child, if no one takes care of him, it is easy to become a beggar and be bullied.

Anyway, Xiao Jiu has already left, and if you can still set the little boy, the caretaker sat down and drank a cup of tea, and the little boy looked at the strange big brother who was not approaching him, and he was not moving.

It's just that tears flowed all over his face, and the caretaker put down the teacup, looked at the little boy, and said, "I'm Liu Dong, can you tell me what your name is?" ”

The little boy was still crying and was not ready to deal with Liu Dong.

"Can you tell my brother if you have any family?"

The little boy still ignored Liu Dong, Liu Dong was a little depressed, and he rarely coaxed other people's children, what should I do?

Seeing that the little boy was not ready to deal with him at all, Liu Dong thought about it and decided to talk about Xiao Jiu, who they knew each other together.

So he spoke again: "Can you tell my brother what is your relationship with the sister who brought you to the inn?" ”

Hearing the news about his sister, the little boy raised his head, but lowered his head instantly.

Liu Dong saw that Xiao Jiu was really able to open the topic, and continued: "My brother also knows that sister, but my brother has been looking for her for a long time, and my sister is angry with my brother, can you tell my brother where that sister went?" ”

The little boy shook his head, and the beautiful sister only told him that she had something to do, but she didn't tell him where she went, and he hadn't seen Xiao Jiu's figure for two days.

Although the little boy still didn't speak, he responded, which was not easy to take the first step.

Liu Dong then asked, "Then do you have a family?" Why are you here? Where did you meet your sister? ”

The little boy finally spoke: "I... I don't have any family anymore, and they're all... Dead, I met my sister in the beggar's heap, they... They all bullied me, it was... Sister... Saved me. I don't know... Where did my sister go, she... It's just that... Let me stay at the inn and wait for her. ”
