"Lord Wang, it's hot, do you want to go in and have a cup of tea before leaving!"

"No, this is a harem, so it's inconvenient for me to stay for a long time. Get on board! With that, he turned to leave.

"Zizhu, go and take out my pot of Roselle tea." Lin Qingwan immediately commanded.

"Lord Wang, wait a minute, there are few shaded places in this palace, what should I do if I turn around and get heat stroke!"

After all, Zizhu is a person who practices martial arts, and he comes and goes quickly, so he didn't need Lin Qingwan to say more, and directly took two teacups out.

Lin Qingwan glanced at Zizhu, smiled secretly in his heart, did not break it, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to Xiao Muning, "Lord Wang, try it, this is my newly developed herbal tea recently, to clear away heat and relieve heat." ”

When the other cup was handed to Ruoying, who had been following behind, he glanced at him and deliberately said, "Ruoying, thank you quickly, otherwise you won't have this blessing!" ”

Ruoying respectfully took it, "Lord Xie, Lord Xie!" ”

Xiao Muning glanced at Lin Qingwan and drank all the tea in the cup. The sweetness and sourness of this tea are just right, the entrance is cold, and the heat is dissipated after a cup.

Before he could say anything, Ruoying behind him sighed, "County Lord, what kind of tea is this!" My subordinates have never drunk such a delicious tea. ”

Lin Qingwan took the teacup in Xiao Muning's hand and poured him another cup, "This is called Roselle tea!" I deliberately put it in the ice cube to make it so refreshing. ”

She glanced at Zizhu and asked her to pour another glass for Ruoying.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday that you are cold, so I won't let you be cold?"

Lin Qingwan was stunned for a moment, and picked up the teapot in his hand, "Oh! Then these are the king's. ”

"When you drink, don't get so cold!"

"Got it, lord!"

Seeing Xiao Muning away, Lin Qingwan went back to the room to change his clothes, walked out from behind the screen, and watched Xiao Tan sorting out the things Xiao Muning brought.

"Didn't you say that there were only pillows and incense? Why such a big bag? ”

Xiao Tan's movements didn't stop, "It's not just these two." Miss, you see, this lotus fan has been brought to you. ”

Lin Qingwan took the fan and fanned the wind, "I originally wanted to bring a pillow, but it took up too much space, so I didn't take it!" ”

"That's right, Xiao Tan! Do we have a kitchenette in the palace? Lin Qingwan was lying on his side on the chaise longue.

"Yes, but in the past two days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs heard that the young lady was eating at the queen and the eldest princess, so they didn't send the ingredients! The father-in-law in charge said that Prince Ning specially instructed that if the young lady wants, just send someone to get it! ”

Lin Qingwan smiled lightly, "When I enter the second palace, I will let the prince be busy enough to choke." ”

Zizhu, who came in with water, answered, "No, listening to Ruoying, the prince has always been silently doing good deeds behind his back." ”

Xiao Tan and Lin Qingwan looked at each other and smiled, and said deliberately, "Speaking of this Ruoying Guard, the slave maid thinks that he has strong martial arts and is handsome, and he is worthy of being entrusted for life!" ”

After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Zizhu again, "I don't know, which girl will have this blessing in the future!" ”

Zizhu bowed her head and said nothing, her face flushed to her neck.

Lin Qingwan smiled and shook his head, "Zizhu, you go to the Internal Affairs Mansion in the afternoon, ask for two processed chickens, and go to the lotus pond to pick two larger lotus leaves while no one is around." ”

The palace after dark is extremely quiet, and since Lin Qingwan came to this world, he has fallen in love with watching the stars. Although she wears the stars and the moon every day when she goes to and from school, there are very few opportunities to look up at the stars, and the atmosphere is seriously polluted, how can she see the galaxy above her head now!

When Xiao Muning came, she was lying on a wicker chair in the backyard, holding a shovel in her hand, and there were a few sticks of firewood burning in the dirt pit on the ground.

"What are you doing?"

"Lord Wang, you're here!" Lin Qingwan sat up and used the shovel in his hand to dig out the improved version of the lotus leaf chicken in the soil, only to see a steaming ball of soil being turned over.

"I did it with time, if the prince came a little later, this chicken should be roasted!"

Xiao Muning helped her put out the fire, and the two of them returned to the room with a ball of earth.

Xiao Muning looked at the black earth ball on the table, frowned and asked, "What is this?" ”

"My improved version of the lotus leaf chicken."

Lin Qingwan used a shovel to pry open the soil, and the fragrance was overflowing in an instant. Peel off the lotus leaves, and a clear aroma wafts out, and the fresh and tender chicken is dripping with oil.

Xiao Muning was already hungry before he ate it, and the chicken was roasted just right, and with an effortless pull, he could separate the flesh and bones. He is not picky about what he eats, and for many years at the border, he and the soldiers have eaten and lived together, and it is good to have a stutter. But since he returned to Beijing, Lin Qingwan has always studied something he has never eaten, and his mouth is about to be fed by her.

Lin Qingwan cut off a chicken leg with a knife and gave it to Xiao Muning, "Give it to the prince, eat a chicken leg!" ”

Xiao Muning took it and took a bite, the fragrant chicken with the fragrance of lotus leaves lingered between his teeth, and then he suddenly realized, "So you are not appreciating lotus during the day, but studying this!" ”

Lin Qingwan bit the chicken leg and nodded very seriously, "Not only this, but also lotus leaf glutinous rice." ”

Xiao Muning looked at her eating appearance and couldn't help but shake his head, "Another casual poem?" ”

"That's right! How else to do it! ”

Every time she wrote a poem, it was in a very urgent situation, and the words of the poem were quite meaningful, and every time she heard it, he was amazed. It's hard to figure it out to be so easy.

Xiao Muning stretched out his hand and put his hand on her vein for a moment, he was a little afraid when he thought about it now. Both of them were busy eating chicken legs with one hand and cutting pulses with the other.

"That's right, Lord Wang! You left in a hurry last night, what happened? Lin Qingwan suddenly remembered the question she had been trying to ask today.

"I'll tell you about this later, I'll tell you something important first, that Xiuhe is sent by the queen to be by the side of Yingyue."

Lin Qingwan questioned, "Was that given openly, or was it arranged behind the scenes?" ”

Xiao Muning sneered, this smile seemed a little cruel to Lin Qingwan, "Guess? ”

When he asked him like this, the hairs on Lin Qingwan's body stood on end, and he didn't dare to think about it, his heart staggered, and his voice trembled slightly, "It's arranged behind his back!" ”

Xiao Muning nodded.

Lin Qingwan stood up in shock, if it weren't for Xiao Muning's quick eyes, she almost knocked down the stool, her brain was very confused, and her speech was a little incoherent, "That... Isn't that... Didn't she know about it! ”

Xiao Muning stretched out his hand and pulled her to sit down, "Not only that, but I found out that the posts invited by the guests were all from Xiuhe's hand." ”

"You mean, not only does she know, but she could also be the murderer."

Speaking of this, Lin Qingwan thought of the dignified and generous, gentle and kind woman in his mind, and he had breakfast with her with a bright smile, and he felt chills when he thought about it.

"That's right, Lord Wang! I deduced that the person who fed me the poison must have been a man. When I came home on the day of the funeral, I had finger marks on my face, which I must have been poured into it with my mouth pinched. Lin Qingwan said and demonstrated it to Xiao Muning.

"Now that the enemy is dark and I am clear, the truth is still unclear, you should be careful when you see her, don't let her find any clues."

Lin Qingwan nodded, "Well, I'll be careful." ”

Suddenly knowing this truth, Lin Qingwan felt that the lotus leaf chicken in front of him was not fragrant, "What about the other thing?" ”

Xiao Muning put down the leftover chicken bones, "The Lord He you mentioned yesterday, if I guessed correctly, it should be my grandfather!" ”

Grandfather? What a coincidence!

Lin Qingwan recalled what Xiao Tan had done with her before, Xiao Muning's mother also chose to commit suicide because she was implicated by the family, it seems that something is wrong!

Xiao Muning dragged a piece of chicken and continued, "Last night, I sneaked into the Criminal Department and found the file of that year, and the most suspicious thing is that the account book used as evidence is missing. If the evidence is really conclusive, then why is there only a lack of evidence now? ”

Lin Qingwan didn't know why the He family fell, but after all, it was Xiao Muning's childhood scar, so he was embarrassed to ask more, "So it seems that someone did it on purpose!" Then your grandfather's family is in the court, have you offended anyone? ”

Xiao Muning shook his head, "I was still young at the time, and my mother didn't tell me. ”

"That's... What about Master Gu? I should still be an official in the court! ”

"He is the head of the household, Gu Huai!"

"Now those who want to know the truth of the year are this Lord Gu and that mother! But who are so many ladies in the palace? And what can the harem mother have to do with the household? ”

Xiao Muning shook his head, it has been too long, and it is difficult to find out the truth without being able to startle the snake. I've been waiting for so many years, and I'm not in a hurry for this time.

In the middle of the night, when Xiao Muning was leaving, he threw out a sentence without a beginning or an end, "Stay away from the prince and the fourth child!" ”
