The most prosperous and lively place in the capital is the three streets and six major streets.

North Jinhua, East Lianjiang and West Yurime 3rd Street are located in the center of the hinterland, forming a golden commercial area with excellent geographical advantages, even if only the shop front at the end of the 3rd Street is ridiculously high compared with other places in the city, it is also very expensive.

At the end of Lianjiang Street, along the river is the famous flower street in Beijing, which never sleeps. At the end of Yurime Street is the largest craft shop.

Qianjin Pavilion was opened on Jinhua Street, the T-junction at the intersection of the three streets.

Rujiu, dressed as a noble son, appeared on the street with a small branch Ruoqing.

With the surging flow of people, the three of them disappeared completely with a wrong eye, and there was no trace of them.

In front of the Golden Pavilion is a three-storey shop facing the street, and there is a small courtyard hidden in the high wall of the rockery behind it.

Entering the courtyard, the room is arranged like a medicine hall, and on three walls are containers with whole roofs, and a small cabinet with various medicinal herbs written on it.

In the center are two large long tables, one with various pharmaceutical tools and the other with various empty porcelain bottles.

The three of them came to the north wall, and the twig stepped forward to touch the mechanism, and the whole wall cabinet slowly opened and split in two, and a staircase for the two of them appeared and went straight down.

Entering the steps one by one, with the sound of the cabinet closing again, and by the candlelight of the stone platform illuminated on the wall, he walked down without stopping until he entered the innermost secret room.

In the 30-square-meter room, in addition to the tables and chairs for people to sit on, the walls are full of nailed and neatly hung small wooden signs, each of which is painted with the emblem totem and letters of the Qianjin Pavilion.

This kind of wooden card is a special customization, and the emblem totem is a rare and complex thousand leaf lotus vine, and it is difficult to imitate the two phases.

These are all vouchers left after trading the pill in another way, in duplicate.

There was already one person sitting at the six-seater table, and I don't know how long I had been waiting, but the tea in front of me had long since disappeared and the white mist had cooled.

The person who listened to the sound turned his head, dressed in a blue robe, his long hair pulled up was pinned only with a simple carved hosta, and there were bangs on each sideburn that reached the eyebrows.

The facial features are beautiful and delicate, with a strong bookish atmosphere. The smiling eyebrows and eyes that made him deliberately create a cold temperament disappeared in an instant, and it became the casual affinity of the little brother next door.

"Miss is fine, sister, Sister Xiaozhi, don't come unharmed."

It was Yang Ruoxi, who had been an official for three years after entering the dynasty, won the crown of the year and broke into the top three in one fell swoop at the age of fourteen, and was hand-picked to explore the flowers.

Entered the Hanlin Academy from the editing of the seventh grade, and it took only three years to achieve the bachelor from the fifth grade in the court without predecessors, and was transferred to the criminal department to be promoted to the fifth grade Langzhong because of his meritorious service in saving the driver.

Being able to come to this point at the age of seventeen years old and not yet crowned shows that his heart and means are extraordinary, and Jian Zai was personally praised by Emperor Xiyuan in his heart, saying that his future is promising and will definitely make great achievements.

Since the reign of Emperor Xi Yuan, the literary style has been particularly emphasized, and various academies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the literati students have shown a geometric increase every year, and the literary style has flourished for a while.

Naturally, the DPRK and China also followed the direction of the incumbent, and under the emphasis on civil affairs and military force, the civil officials and military generals could not help but form antagonisms and contend with each other, and the contradictions were constantly stimulated and became more and more difficult to reconcile under the favoritism and connivance of the emperor.

It has formed an extreme mode of getting along with the civil and military officials of the court and the court without intersecting with each other.

Ruoxi is a civil official and follows the path of a lonely minister, and the Shen family is one of the leaders of the military attachés. Yes, if there is no major matter, they are in private and secret contact.

The last time we met was a year ago, and if it weren't for the fact that Rujiu secretly went just in time, he was afraid that he would have lost his life long ago.

It was the first time that a few of them had faced such a violent Rujiu, and it was also the first time that she had been so clear and clear that what she had been saying was serious and solemn with the safety of their respective lives as the bottom line.

Needless to say, the surging emotion in their hearts has not been said, and since then, the four of them have been cautious and do not dare to make any more rash moves, and they no longer have the slightest luck.

……

It is conceivable that when they received the secret letter that Ruoxi had something to discuss and ask for a meeting, Rujiu and others were surprised and anxious.

But now, it seems that there is no urgency in his expression and words.

Rujiu's expression eased slightly, and the urgency in her heart also fell, and she regained her composure and walked to the table unhurriedly and sat down.

Ruoqing, who rarely saw her younger brother, inevitably lost her temper, and after enduring the sourness in her eyes for a long time, she still couldn't lock up her tears, so she had to turn her head and wipe them indiscriminately.

Knowing that the young lady would definitely give them time alone later, they looked at each other and smiled warmly, followed by the table and sat down, first talking about the important things this time.

"Miss, there is progress in the news in the palace."

The emperor's suspicion has always been heavy, and Emperor Xiyuan is even more of a leader, although he has a clean background and does not have any party lineage that stands in line, and he has gained that little trust with the skill of escorting.

Since being promoted to the Criminal Department, Ruoxi has been even more cautious, not arrogant and impatient, and it took almost a year to really enter the emperor's heart and entrust him with a heavy responsibility.

This is a test for him, but it is also an opportunity to give.

Since he knew that the young lady was inquiring about the news of the forbidden place in the palace, he had to pay attention to the cautious investigation, and he didn't want Emperor Xiyuan to hand over this matter to him, so he really wanted to doze off and came to the pillow to open the door to him.

"Since the emperor handed over the poisoning of Concubine Chen to me to investigate, I have found out the news about her origin.

Concubine Chen is the emperor's cousin, that is, the Xu family from the queen mother's family. Because Concubine Chen has not been on the royal jade butterfly, and the Zongren Mansion has never left any information about her origin, coupled with the emperor's protection and concealment in the open and secret, there are very few people in the palace who really know that there is such a master.

According to the old lady who took care of Concubine Chen, plus the evidence left many years ago, it shows that this is indeed the second lady who died in the Xu Mansion back then.

However, whether she is the bloodline of Doctor Li or not, although there is no direct evidence to prove it, but Miss's speculation is afraid that there is a nearly seventy percent possibility.

The people who knew the truth of that incident have almost all passed away, except for the current Queen Mother and the old people around her, I am afraid that no one can solve the puzzle. ”

Sure enough, there is a good chance that the woman is the master's daughter. sighed and nodded for a long time to show understanding, "Emperor Xiyuan asked you to find out about Concubine Chen's poisoning and gave a time limit, what progress can you have." ”

Ruoxi smiled bitterly and shook his head, old things are not so easy to check, the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace from the reign of the first emperor to the present day do not know how many times they have changed, and they can only secretly visit and investigate, which is undoubtedly more difficult.

Dusting off his cuffs, the light flashing in Rujiu's eyes flickered on and off, "I can give you a pointer and check on the head of the biggest one in the harem." ”

"Miss is saying..."The Queen Mother?

Restraining the surprise that flashed on his face, Ruoxi secretly thought about it in her heart several times, and sighed that Miss She had a keen mind, maybe he was in the wrong direction from the beginning, "I know what to do." ”

"That's what it's all about this time?" Rujiu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile on his face, "But are there any other lifelong events that require a few of us as sisters to help you check the gates?" ”

Ruoxi's body suddenly stiffened, and her face was rarely flushed with embarrassment, and she raised her hand to say goodbye, "Miss, please raise your hand and let it go." ”

"Poof~" Seeing her younger brother like this, Ruoqing not only did not help, but was happy to see it. After all, he is not young, and there are no elders in the family to worry about them, so it is naturally better that the young lady is willing to help.

"Sister."

Shaking her head helplessly, Ruoxi thought of the delicate woman who had several faces, and couldn't help but feel blushing in her heart, "If I really need it, I will definitely speak." ”

"It's so best." After all, it is his emotional and private matter, even if he hears about it, he has to be willing to speak, and if he has been letting him go for a long time, he will no longer tease him.

Secretly relieved, Ruoxi quickly changed the topic quietly, "That's right, Miss." Recently, the emperor has frequently asked Lord Yun to enter the palace, and today Lord Yun will take people to leave Beijing secretly. ”

"Oh, do you know what's going on?"

Yun Qianyang, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and Emperor Xiyuan's right-hand man is a real henchman, and it will definitely be a big deal if he leaves Beijing at this time.
