The Yanjing City on the 29th of the lunar month is completely different from the past.

Seeing that spring is approaching, everyone is busy preparing for the coming year. Joyful busyness.

The carbon stove in the carriage was a little hot, and Jun Qinglan opened the window slightly, letting the cold air outside pour in, and suddenly felt comfortable. The snow of the previous days had long since disappeared without a trace under the successive hot suns, leaving only refreshment and cleanliness.

The noise of the carriage and horses was mixed in the comfortable air, and it came through the cracks in the carriage. Jun Qinglan looked out sideways, and the entire Daxing City was crowded, almost enclosing the entire wide street.

"It's hilarious."

At this time, Jun Qinglan understood why Li Congyao asked her to go out an hour in advance. It's just that today's road conditions are really bad. The huge carriage of the palace was sandwiched in the crowd of people buying New Year's goods, and it was almost impossible to move an inch.

"Envious?" The man's narrow phoenix eyes glanced out of the car window casually: "After you come out of the palace, this king will come with you for a walk." ”

“…… Kindness? Jun Qinglan was stunned. The marriage case is not so easy to conclude! I'm afraid that when the time comes...... There is no blood to end, and she herself cannot be left alone.

"Tomorrow, this king will keep the New Year with you."

Li Congyao looked at Jun Qinglan, and there seemed to be something broken in his long and narrow phoenix eyes: "This king and you will keep the New Year together!" ”

Jun Qinglan's heart trembled. Li Congyao has never been a verbose person, but this time he said the same thing twice. This is a promise, and he is telling Jun Qinglan in the most casual way. He is her back, and in front of him, no one can hurt her!

"Okay." The corners of Jun Qinglan's lips hooked slightly, and he found that there was nothing to say except for this word.

There are times when people don't need to be too words. A simple action, a word is enough to convey your heart.

"Rongxi." The reaction of the woman beside him seemed to make Li Congyao very satisfied, the corners of his lips hooked invisibly, and he commanded softly: "You drive the carriage to bypass the other road and wait for us at the entrance of Daxing City." ”

"We?" Jun Qinglan was stunned: "Where are you going?" ”

"We got out of the car and walked over. By the way, there are some things you like. ”

Jun Qinglan blinked: "Didn't the emperor ask to enter the palace at noon?" ”

Li Congyao pouted: "There are many people congested, tell them to wait." ”

Simple, brutal. It is really Li Congyao's style.

Jun Qinglan knew that Li Congyao's orders had never been disobeyed, so she had to get out of the car obediently and mingle with him in the crowd in the market. The atmosphere of the spring year has already penetrated the streets and alleys, and Jun Qinglan's originally heavy heart disappeared in an instant in the joy of Daxing City.

Seeing her gloomy eyes turn bright little by little, the smile on the corner of Li Congyao's lips deepened a little. Along the way, neither of them spoke, but it was as if they had experienced thousands of mountains and rivers. A bazaar, it seems to experience the life of Baiwei.

At the end of Daxing City, Rong Xi was standing in front of the carriage and waiting. When the two of them boarded the car again, they went towards the imperial city at a gallop.

"Remember how you're feeling at the moment." In silence, Li Congyao suddenly opened his mouth: "Spring is coming, no matter what happens, it can't affect your mood." ”

Jun Qing's blue eyes flashed. Li Congyao had already seen the heaviness in her heart, and deliberately detoured to Daxing City to let her see the bustle and prosperity of the world with her own eyes, so that she could completely relax. When people are nervous, they often make wrong judgments, she is a trick, and the only hope for those women to die in vain in the marriage case, she must be sober and calm in order to get justice for them.

"Lord Wang." Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao: "If you can...... Please call your illness and go home immediately. ”

Jun Qinglan pursed her lips lightly, her eyes flashed, as if she was full of worries.

"Are you worried about this king?" Li Congyao looked at her, although his voice was as indifferent as ever, it clearly added a bit of pleasure: "What is this king afraid of, even if you are not afraid?" ”

Jun Qinglan looked at Li Congyao, and gradually wrinkled her eyebrows: "Handle cases with low duties, and there will be no favoritism." ”

"I don't want you to show favoritism."

This was the end of the conversation between the two, and no one said another word until they entered the imperial study. It wasn't until she saw the emperor and Concubine Xiao Guifei in the imperial study that Jun Qinglan sighed secretly in her heart. At this time, it was impossible for Li Congyao to leave even if he wanted to.

"Jun Qinglan, you said that Xiao Wan's case has been clarified, is it true?"

The first to speak was Xiao Guifei. Probably because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Xiao Guifei is wearing an extremely grand dress today. The peach-pink butterfly dress on the body wearing floral makeup and satin looks like it is newly made, rolling with thin gold edges, shining. She sat beside Emperor Beixia, half of her body behind the dragon case. I could only see the two fingers of the bright red Kodan painted on the dragon case tightly clenched, which showed her excitement and nervousness at the moment.

Jun Qinglan glanced at Emperor Northern Xia. It stands to reason that it is not proper for a noble concubine to speak in front of the emperor. However, Emperor Northern Xia didn't even say half a word, as if he was accustomed to such a situation. Jun Qinglan's heart trembled, the emperor's favor for Xiao Guifei was immeasurable. Today's case is only afraid of ...... It can't be better!

"The lowly duty has indeed been investigated, and this case can be closed."

"Who are you talking about? Who wants to harm this palace and the Xiao family! Xiao Guifei's voice suddenly became sharp, and the red gold armor on her little finger made a piercing sound on the table, which made people feel creepy.

"I think that no one framed the concubine Niangniang, and this matter has never been aimed at the Xiao family."

Xiao Guifei frowned fiercely: "Have you checked it out?" ”

"Your Majesty." Jun Qinglan saluted to Emperor Beixia: "The key person in this case is not yet complete, please also issue an order to summon the queen to come to hear the trial." ”

"What did you call her for?" Xiao Guifei frowned: "She won't try the case again!" ”

"Please also summon the queen mother to come." Jun Qinglan didn't explain, only bowed over and repeated this sentence.

"Liu Quanzhong, go and invite the queen over." Emperor Beixia glanced at Li Congyao, who was sitting in the distance and was sick, and slowly opened his mouth.

Liu Quanzhong had just gone out when he heard the call of the queen's mother.

Xiao Guifei sneered: "The queen came so fast, isn't she watching outside the imperial study every day?" ”

"The concubine has seen the emperor." Empress Zhang was not in a hurry or angry, and Ying Ying saluted Emperor Beixia: "The concubine saw that the weather had been repeated recently, so she ordered the small kitchen to cook some solid bacon medicinal food. After tasting today's yam porridge, I thought about sending some to the emperor, but it happened that just in time for Gonggong Liu to summon him, the concubine came in. ”

Her words did not leak, and Concubine Xiao couldn't find the mistake in her words after tasting it for a long time, so she snorted coldly and opened her eyes. Emperor Beixia got up and personally helped the queen up.

"Your body is heavy, and in the future, the rough work of delivering food and water will be ordered to a palace person to come, and you don't need to work in person."

Empress Zhang smiled: "It's okay to go for more." ”

"Sit down, Queen." Emperor Beixia led Empress Zhang to sit down, and then returned to the Dragon Case.

Jun Qinglan narrowed her eyes. Emperor Northern Xia has always been indifferent to Empress Zhang, but today he is so close. The mother said that the son is expensive, and it is true that it is not true. No matter how favored Concubine Xiao is, she still suffers a big loss in the matter of her heirs.

"Jun Qinglan, all the people you want have arrived. You can get started, right? Emperor Beixia glanced at Jun Qinglan, and there was a bit of unconcealable condensation in his voice.

"That's it."

Jun Qinglan slowly straightened up, her eyes swept over the faces of everyone present. Emperor of Northern Xia, Concubine Xiao, Empress Zhang, Li Congyao. These people are either rich or expensive, but after today, they don't know how the situation will change.

The outside world speculated about the cause of Miss Xiao Wan's death and characterized it as Ying Tianjiao's marriage to Tianjiao. The lowly duty has investigated Xiao Wan and the male corpses that appeared at the same time as her, and both of them had reactions after poisoning in their corpses, and the lowly duty has also found out that their bodies contain poison toxins. There were no signs of a fight on the surface of the two bodies, and it was clear that they had voluntarily ingested the poison on their own, causing the poison. ”

"Huh." Empress Zhang smiled lightly: "It sounds like this, and the talk of getting married to heaven can basically be confirmed." ”

"." Xiao Guifei shouted angrily: "My clan sister is cautious and polite, so she will not do such a shameless thing." ”

In the entire history of Northern Xia, there was only one concubine who dared to speak disrespectfully to the queen, Xiao Guifei. Empress Zhang pursed her lips shallowly, and looked at Emperor Beixia with a smile in her eyes, but the person just sat upright with an expressionless face, as if she had never seen Xiao Guifei's weakness at all. Empress Zhang slowly opened her eyes, and a subtle disappointment quickly crossed her eyes.

"Jun Qinglan, how did you investigate the case?" Concubine Xiao's sharp armor flashed with a dazzling light, pointing straight at the tip of Jun Qinglan's nose: "In vain, this palace trusts you so much and lets you take charge of this case, this is the answer you gave to this palace?" ”

"Niangniang, please don't be impatient, the minister's words are not finished." Jun Qinglan was neither humble nor arrogant, and said slowly: "If Niangniang wants to hear the ins and outs of this case clearly, please try not to interrupt the minister." lest the minister forget any important details in a panic, which would affect the development of the whole case. ”

"You!" Xiao Guifei's eyes widened angrily, thinking that that person still had use value, so she swallowed this breath alive.

Empress Zhang covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled: "Lord Jun is really good, and he is really a good slave trained by King Duan." ”

The two words of the slave were clearly and implicitly sarcastic, but Jun Qinglan didn't seem to hear it, so she smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

"She's not a servant of the king." Li Congyao under the window seemed to open his mouth inadvertently: "She is a very important person to this king." So....... ”

The man raised his eyebrows, and a slight chill suddenly appeared in his light eyes. It was colder than the heavy snow of that day.

"Therefore, if the emperor and Niangniang are willing to save some face for Duanwangfu, please don't humiliate Jun Qinglan." He said.

Everyone looks sideways, what is this? Did you personally admit that Jun Qinglan is the male pet of Duanwangfu? Isn't it a bit too ...... to talk about this in a place like the Imperial Study?

"Ahem." The emperor covered his lips and coughed lowly: "Don't make any more branches." Jun Qinglan, I will conclude you, and say it quickly! ”
