Xiyue had been accepted into the East Palace by Zhu Houzhao as early as a month ago and became a personal maid.

When she learned the identity of Prince Zhu Houzhao, Xiyue's little face turned red with fright, but she didn't expect that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who saved her in the casino that day.

Xiyue followed Zhu Houzhao into the palace with a thousand thanks, and sat on the personal maid, and the Li Mansion, which was originally a small population, was one less person, and it became more and more deserted.

At this moment, the time has already turned from autumn to winter, and the territory of the capital has long been covered with snow and goose feathers, and the snow clearing workers sent by the household department are removing snow on the street.

The way the ancients removed snow was different from now, because salt was a scarce thing, so all of them were manual snow removal, and a wooden board was nailed to a wooden stick, and the Ming version of the snow shovel was freshly baked.

Li Mansion, Li Yan was rare to be diligent today, and placed several bowls on the table in the room, which contained some liquid that emitted a pungent smell.

Sun Ying also stayed in the house, and since the morning, she has been motionless watching Li Yan tinkering with these things, her eyes are round, and she clearly doesn't understand what Li Yan is doing.

"Xianggong, what are you doing here?" Sun Ying asked curiously, and a pair of eyes never left the things in Li Yan's hands.

"Hehe, Xianggong is doing a very amazing thing." Li Yan replied without raising his head.

Sun Ying sighed, and the things on the table wrinkled her nose. "Xianggong, didn't I say you, this kind of thing is still called amazing? This room is going to be empty. ”

Hearing Sun Ying say this, Li Yan was not angry, and still took care of himself to tinker with a bunch of liquids in his hand, mixing these liquids together from time to time.

Suddenly, I saw a puff of white smoke coming out of the white porcelain bowl, and seeing this, Sun Ying hurriedly ran out of the house as if fleeing for her life.

Since the snow began to fall this morning, Li Yan didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping, so he asked the housekeeper to buy a big bag of caustic soda from outside, and brought a few porcelain bowls from the kitchen, and then locked himself in the room to fiddle with these things that Sun Ying couldn't understand.

If it weren't for Li Yan's repeated emphasis on what he was doing useful things, Sun Ying would definitely think he was crazy.

Sun Ying ran out of the house as if fleeing for her life, and then patted her chest with palpitations, judging from the situation just now, her father-in-law must have had another accident.

I don't know how many times this has happened since the morning, and the light is that kind of foul-smelling white smoke, and the serious one has even shattered the porcelain bowl that Li Yan took to hold the liquid, not only that, but even Li Yan's face has been scraped out of a few bloody wounds.

Sun Ying couldn't help but be a little worried outside, he said that he was doing the right thing, but he didn't have to make such a big move to do the right thing, his face was scratched, wouldn't he even lose his life if he continued like this?

Sun Ying had already made up his mind that if Li Yan hadn't finished it after a while, he would definitely drag him out of the house.

In the courtyard of the Li Mansion, many people were also stunned to look at this room that made strange noises from time to time, the old man of the family had been in it all morning, and he didn't know what he was doing, even his own master who was not afraid of heaven and earth ran out of it as if she was running for her life.

All of a sudden, all the subordinates were silent about their own master, their own master was really scary, he looked approachable on weekdays, but he had such a crazy side in his bones, he actually abused himself so much, and he was so ruthless to himself......

Li Yan in the room didn't know that his behavior had turned into a manifestation of abuse of himself, and now he was still fiddling with the things in his hands, and from time to time he took out a pen and paper to record something.

Li Yan's expression was a little crazy now, his eyes were already red, and he didn't know if he was too nervous or smoked by the white smoke coming out of the room.

Half an hour passed slowly, and Li Yan hadn't come out yet, but Zhang Tao saw that his boss didn't go to the Yamen of the Department of Suppression today, thinking that Li Yan had something to do, so he came to the house to take a look, but he didn't expect to see such a strange scene as soon as he entered the door: all the Li family members were standing in the courtyard except for their boss!

What's going on? Could it be that something is wrong with your boss?

Thinking of this, Zhang Tao's face tightened, and he immediately came forward, and just about to ask, his face was suddenly stunned, what kind of expression did they have? Why can't you take your eyes off the inside of the room? And...... What kind of sound is this, and how is it the same as setting off firecrackers?

"Madam, why don't you see your lord go to the yamen today? Isn't something wrong? Zhang Tao looked at Sun Ying, who had a bad face, and asked cautiously.

"Humph! Here! Sun Ying was a little annoyed, and pointed to the room in front of her.

Hearing this, Zhang Tao looked at the room in front of him, only to see the white smoke visible to the naked eye slowly drifting out from the crack in the door that had not yet been closed, spreading into the courtyard, sniffing with his nose, and a pungent smell.

"Peng!" There was another loud bang, and even the door was slammed.

Zhang Tao was blinded, and his head, which was originally not packed with many things, instantly short-circuited, and then his face changed, covering his throat, pointing to the white smoke coming out of the room and widening his eyes.

"This smoke...... Poisonous! ”

After speaking, Zhang Tao fell straight down, and everyone exclaimed again, they didn't have time to care about Zhang Tao, Sun Ying didn't want to think about it, and rushed directly into the house.

……

…………

Sun Ying was very fast, comparable to a modern 100-meter sprinter, and came to the door quickly, without any hesitation, raised a kick, and before he could kick it, the door ...... I opened it myself!

"Hahaha...... It worked! It worked! I saw Li Yan running out of the courtyard with a cloak of hair, turning around several times in the yard, and then hugged Sun Ying in the petrification, and said excitedly.

"Phase...... Xianggong, what succeeded? Sun Ying was confused by what Li Yan said, from the beginning to the present, it seems that Li Yan has not told him what he is doing.

"Haha...... It's this! Li Yan ran back to the house, took out a white porcelain bowl and handed it to Sun Ying.

Sun Ying looked down and her face turned dark. "Xianggong, you tossed for most of the day, just in the house and mud?"

Sun Ying's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Li Yan, touched Li Yan's forehead, and then put it on his forehead again, and sighed strangely.

"I don't have a fever, why did I start talking nonsense today?" Sun Ying muttered to herself.

"Hmph......" Li Yan laughed proudly. Xianggong, this is not nonsense, this is not some kind of mud, you can taste it. ”

After speaking, Li Yan dipped his fingers in a little liquid in the bowl and stretched it out to Sun Ying's mouth.

"I don't want to eat it...... Your hands are so dirty! ”

"It's okay, it's not clean, it's not sick!"

Li Yan directly stuffed his fingers into Sun Ying's mouth.

"Don't ...... Hmm...... Phew, what is this...... Hey? It seems that he didn't taste what it tasted like, and it seemed that people faintly didn't believe it, Sun Ying asked.

"Hmph, what is it, didn't you taste it just now?" Li Yan proudly threw a wink at Sun Ying.

"Is it salt?" Sun Ying asked uncertainly.

"Yes, yes."
