Bidding farewell to Wang Gongzi and his friends, Qingyan took Biqing back to the house.

Until the early hours of the morning, they did not wait for news from Mrs. Yu.

Qingyan knew in his heart that Old Lady Yu's line had been abolished.

Now only the first floor is left, and there is the Wang family that Old Lady Yu said!

Early in the morning of the second day.

Qingyan and her brother had just eaten breakfast when a dart hit the wall behind the hall with a very fast speed.

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then Qingmin walked over first and took the dart down.

Qingmin ordered the others to stand back for the time being, and Yuedong, the little servant he was waiting for, closed the door of the hall, leaving only his brother and Yuedong, Qingyan and Biqing in the room.

He slowly returned to the table with a frown, spreading out the damask cloth he had taken from under the dart on the table.

Qingyan made up the end, and there was a paragraph written on it: Ruyi Palace and Underground Palace, safe and sound.

"Brother, it seems that my mother is okay for the time being, but ...... Concubine Shu actually dug the underground palace in the harem without permission, isn't she afraid of being found out by the monarch and blamed, this is a big crime to destroy the nine clans."

Qingmin sneered: "The Nine Clans are just a springboard for her, she won't care."

Qingyan was studying the map attached to that paragraph, the underground palace map of Ruyi Palace, but after looking at it for a while, she suddenly pulled Qingmin and pulled him to the place where she found it, and couldn't hide her shock: "Brother, look here!"

Qingmin was puzzled: "What's wrong?" But what did you find? ”

Qing Yan's fingertips touched a place on the map of the dungeon and said, "Here, there are two exits on this map.

One is obviously leading to the Ruyi Palace, and where does the other one go out of this direction? ”

Qingyan had never been to the palace, so she couldn't tell where the road leads, but Qingmin is different, he is a person who has been to the palace.

He wrung his eyebrows and pondered, and his mind slowly came up with the path he had traveled in the palace, as well as the location of all the harem palace rooms, and the places he had reached from the four gates of the southeast, north, south, and south.

The palace of Daqi takes the main hall where the monarch is located as the central axis, this is the main hall, then his bedroom, and then the harem, the east palace of the prince is in the east, the harem of the concubine is in the west, and the Ruyi Palace of the concubine is second only to the queen of the palace, and the palace of the imperial concubine, the third palace located in the southwest corner, but this palace is not liked by the previous ladies because of its remoteness, and has been vacant, until the daughter of the Li family entered the palace and was canonized as a lady, and then to the concubine, the Ruyi Palace was re-used and no longer vacant.

"Because the west side is the place where the harem is located, there is only a corner gate and a sandwich passage here.

From here, it is the place where the Shu people live in the west, and the city tower is built here, so it is impossible for the concubine's underground palace to dig through to the city tower and go directly to the land of the Shu people.

But this map is only a small area, and it's really impossible to determine where it ends up? ”

Qingmin lowered his eyebrows and analyzed while thinking.

Qingyan said thoughtfully: "In this way, wouldn't it be impossible to conclude why Concubine Shu didn't enter the palace gate with her mother in the first place!"

Now that he knows his mother's comfort, he can only wait for his father to come back and enter the palace to ask for someone from the concubine.

But...... I don't know where my father is now. We can't wait, why don't we go to the west and investigate, what does my brother think?

Qingmin nodded slightly and agreed with her words.

The brother and sister went out again and went to the land of the Shu tribe in the west.

Instead of wandering around, this time they took a horse-drawn carriage and looked around wherever there was a road.

Rows of low houses are hidden behind the downtown area, and Luoshui crosses through the middle, separating the place of residence from the place of buying and selling, and Luoshui Pavilion is in the east of Luoshui, and all the Shu people live in the west of Luoshui.

They had walked all the main streets to the west from east to west and north to south, and they didn't find anything out of the ordinary.

Walking to a tea shop, Qingyan saw that the decoration was simple and elegant, so he smiled softly with Qingmin and said: "Brother, why don't we rest here for a while and then leave"!

Qingmin listened to her sweet voice, and also smiled and said, "Okay", saying that she got out of the carriage first, and then stretched out her hand to help Qingyan down.

It is sparsely populated, and there is only one table of two people drinking tea in the tea shop, and the faint fragrance permeates the entire tea shop.

Yuedong shouted inside: "Come to the pot of tea."

As soon as he finished speaking, an old and rich voice said, "Come on!" I don't know what tea you want to drink, sprouts or silver tips? ”

What is a sprout? What is a silver tip? Never heard of it.

Qingyan looked at Qingmin, and saw that he was really at a loss, so she turned around and replied curiously: "Why don't you have a pot of sprouts."

"Okay!"

After a while, an old man, dressed plainly but neatly clean, carried a simple black wooden plate, in which a pot or two cups were placed on the low bamboo and wooden table in front of Qingyan.

"One pot of sprouts, two guest officers use it slowly".

Qingyan glanced at him curiously, and asked with a smile: "Old man, what kind of tea is Xinya?" Why have you never heard of it? ”

The old man frowned and said with a smile: "It's just a kind of tea that ordinary people can't sell on the mountain, picking its early leaf tips and stir-frying it, and naming it Xinya."

So it was, Qingyan picked up the tea cup and put it on the tip of his nose to smell lightly, a faint fragrance, and put it to the corner of his lips to taste, it was slightly bitter at first, but when it entered the throat, there was a faint sweetness in the mouth.

She looked at the old man with a smile and said, "First bitter and then sweet, although the quality is not superior, it is also worth tasting."

The old man listened to Qingyan's words, smiled sincerely, "It's good if you two like it", and then retreated with a fist.

"Yan'er, when did you understand tea again?" Qingmin looked at her with a smart eye, which was full of stars, which was very different from the people in the past.

Although it was his sister, he never really liked her from the bottom of his heart, or he had been, when she was still a soft doll, looking at her clean and beautiful eyes, he liked it in his heart, he was happy, but since when did she start to wear away the love in his heart little by little, Qingmin can't remember it now.

Probably everything originated from the past, Qingyan blindly wanted to be favored by his grandmother, blindly wanted to compete for favor with the third lady, and stayed away from his real relatives!

"Well, it's okay to read a few books, and I don't understand it, I can only be regarded as a half-ass", Qingyan said and winked mischievously at him, signaling him not to expose her!

Qingmin smiled knowingly, feeling that she was extremely cute at this time, which also gave him a strong sense of pride in being a brother.

At this time, the voices of the two people at the other table attracted the attention of Qingyan and Qingmin, and only one person said: "I heard that the courtyard of Liu Laohan's house has collapsed."

Another said, "Why did it collapse again, it collapsed every year, and he didn't say that he would change to a yard, what he had was money."

"If you have money, you don't change it, I heard that his money is ill-gotten gains, and it is rumored that more than ten years ago he was still a person who lived on relatives.

The first time the yard collapsed, he yelled everywhere that he had no money to repair it, let it keep collapsing, and someone would always come to repair it for him.

As a result, a group of people came the next day and repaired his yard.

After that, Old Man Liu was like a gold ingot, and he was generous, and he no longer asked his relatives for food and drink. ”

"And this? No wonder Old Man Liu has been reluctant to leave, and others will exchange the mansion with him, and he will not change it, maybe there are really good things in his yard."

Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Qingyan glanced at the two of them, and the two of them were close to each other, as if they were discussing a big matter, but after a while, the two of them left the tea shop in a hurry.
