"Lord Qi lost his mother since he was a child, and was raised in the harem by Concubine Ling, who has never had children, and played and studied with the princes and princesses, my father was the enlightenment teacher of the princes and princesses, and the Holy Grace allowed me to study with the princes and princesses, so I had a good relationship with the Lord of Qi since I was a child, and she regarded me as an eldest brother."

"Let's talk about last night's dinner."

"I pushed the dinner last night because of something, and I went to inquire again today and learned that the Criminal Department asked Yunxianglou to pack up everything without leaving any evidence. I guess they won't care about this anymore, so I'm here to ask Lord Gu for help. ”

Sure enough, as the Red Silk Girl said, Gu Peiqing frowned.

"I know the depth of this, but I ask Pei Qing to find the truth for me, if it involves royal interests, I will not publicize it, you know this matter, I will definitely let the two of us be safe." Please also ask Pei Qing to believe me. Wu Yueran's face was sincere, there was an unwavering light in his eyes, Gu Pei Qing knew that he called him "Pei Qing" just to shorten the distance, but exploring the truth was indeed something that fascinated him, and the bizarre appearance made him can't help but peel off the cocoon.

"Does Lord Qi want to marry the Fourth Prince?"

"She talked to me about it, and she said that she wanted to choose her husband freely, like Shen Xiang's daughter, Shen Feiqing. Shen Feiqing is a person she admires very much, and naturally has a good relationship with Shen Feiqing's sister Shen Feiming. ”

"Shen Feiqing?"

"The eldest daughter of Shen Duzhi, the prime minister of Taizhi Pavilion, is like a fairy descending to the earth, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is good at strategy, at that time she was the object of competition among the children of major wealthy families, and it was even rumored that she would marry the four princes and ensure that the four princes ascended to the crown prince. But Shen Duzhi asked with the saint that he only had two precious daughters, and he didn't want to assign husbands to his daughters, nor did he want others to interfere in this matter, so that his daughters could choose freely. The saint understood what he meant, Shen Xiang asked for very little on weekdays, and he did his best for Cangzhi country, and the saint promised on the spot that he would never give Shen Xiang's daughters marriage, so that they could choose freely. Shen Feiqing married Prince Rui two years ago, and after the two got married, they traveled to the great rivers and mountains of Cangzhi country, and now they have not returned. The fairy couple made Lord Qi envious, and often said that it would be nice if she could be free. ”

"Has Lord Qi offended anyone in ordinary times?"

"She has an excellent personality on weekdays, and she treats people very gently, and it is impossible to offend anyone, although she has grown up in the palace since she was a child, and she has not been arrogant. So I guess that she is in danger one after another, just to prevent her marriage with the fourth prince, but it can't hurt her life, as long as she delays her marriage due to physical reasons, then the fourth prince can marry a woman who will help him ascend to the throne of the crown prince first, and then marry the lord of Qi. ”

"A woman who helped the fourth prince ascend to the throne of the crown prince?"

"Although Shen Feiqing is married, she also has a younger sister Shen Feiming. Although her sister is not as good as her sister, being able to marry Shen Feiming is equivalent to having Shen Xiang's help. In addition to Shen Feiming, there are several ministers' daughters who are better than Lord Qi. ”

"I need to see Lord Qi."

"Yes, the county lord of Qi is now recuperating in the Songxin mansion, which was originally Princess Duan's mansion, after Princess Duan married Feng Yuma, the house was vacant, Concubine Ling begged this house for the county lord of Qi to recuperate, Miss Feng and the county lord of Qi befriended each other, so she lived with the county lord of Qi. We can go now. ”

"Feng Xinyue?" Gu Peiqing thought of the woman who cried non-stop yesterday.

"That's right."

The carriage stopped at the gate of Songxin's house, and the janitor went to report it and soon welcomed them in, and the maidservant took them to the study of the county lord of Qi, but only saw Feng Xinyue sitting there painting. There are two desks in the study, four cabinets and various musical instruments, all of which are double-ported.

Feng Xinyue looked a little haggard, her eyes were also swollen, she put the paintbrush up and shouted, "Brother Yueran, why did you come?" ”

Wu Yueran saluted and introduced: "I'm going to invite Master Gu, he is the big detective from Qingcheng, and he just promised that we will help find the truth together." Feng Xinyue looked at Gu Peiqing, looked up and down, and said, "Master Gu is really young and promising, Xinyue has thanked you in advance." "Apparently didn't realize it was seen last night.

"How's the county lord?" Wu Yueran asked.

"She is no longer in serious trouble, but her body is weak, and she will have to recuperate for more than a month to recover, I told my mother that I will accompany the county lord during this time. She's just gone to sleep, so you can ask me any questions first. ”

"Who just visited?" Gu Peiqing pointed to the two cups of tea placed on the coffee table.

"It's Shen Feiming, she just had tea here, and talked to me about last night's events for a while, and I heard the maid say that Brother Yue Ran came with Master Gu, so she said that she wanted to chat with Lord Gu, but she had to take the first step when she had something to do later, and next time she wanted to invite Lord Gu to eat or something, so she left through the side door."

"Lord Gu is famous, and he is about to be a legend in Bingcheng."

Gu Peiqing felt uncomfortable when she heard such a scene, and she began to only read "where, where".

He immediately changed the topic and asked Feng Xinyue, "Can you tell me about yesterday's events?" ”

"Okay, I just told Fei Ming once, and she also helped me recall a lot of details. Last night was the lord of Qi County, she was in a good mood recently, and she didn't say anything, so she called our friends who grew up to go to Yunxiang Building together, and the box on the fourth floor was where we often went, and the boss also reserved a seat for us, and the dishes on it were also the ones I usually ordered. I sat next to her, and saw that she had eaten every dish, and everyone drank the wine, and suddenly she fell to the ground bleeding from her mouth and nose, and the fourth prince picked her up and said that there was a medical hall nearby, and took her there to see it first, and asked us to notify the imperial doctor to come over. I panicked for a moment and would only cry, but now my brother is here, and I don't know if it's a mess. ”

"Who is attending this dinner?"

"She originally invited me, the fourth prince, the fifth prince, the sixth princess, Shen Feiming, Brother Yue Ran, and Zhang Tong'er. But the more her brother shirked when he had something, Shen Feiming was late, and before she sat down, Lord Qi began to bleed, and everyone was immediately panicked. ”

No wonder the Criminal Department and Dali Temple dare not care, the royal blood of this table, after the high-ranking officials, no one can afford to offend, Gu Peiqing thought.

"Is there anyone who behaves differently than usual?"

"No, everyone is normal, talking and laughing."

"Who allocates the bowl and the glass?"

"We've already set it up there when we get there, and we'll sit at will."

"Who poured the wine?"

"We didn't call anyone to serve us when we ate, and we poured our own food."

Gu Peiqing frowned and walked around the study, thoughtful. He walked over to the table that wasn't used by Feng Xinyue and asked, "Is this the county lord's desk?" ”

"Yes, I share this study with Crescent. This one is hers, and that one is mine. She pointed to another one.

The books on the table were neatly arranged, a yellow bag was placed in the middle, and there was nothing embroidered on the yellow bag, Gu Peiqing picked it up and smelled it, there was no taste, he shook the bag and asked Feng Xinyue: "Miss Feng, may I ask what this is?" ”

"Two months ago, there was a monk in the city, and the legend was that the talisman he drew was particularly effective, and the county lord of Qi pulled me and Shen Feiming to ask for the talisman, Shen Feiming said that she didn't believe in this kind of thing, but she couldn't resist the county lord, so the three of us went. The priest asked us what we were asking for, and I didn't know what the lord had asked for, so the priest drew a talisman and told us to carry it with us. Yesterday I saw that she still had this with her, so I gave her an explanation. ”

"Can I open it and take a look?"

"Let's wait for the county lord to agree, the priest said that this will not work."

"Where is the alchemist now?"

"I have long since left the city and traveled all over the world. The county lord also kept saying that we were lucky to meet this alchemist. By the way, I also have one of these things, if Master Gu wants to see me, I can take mine apart. Feng Xinyue walked to her desk, opened a drawer and pulled it twice, pulling out an identical yellow bag, which was already crowded into a ball, far worse than the county lord's, and it could be seen that Feng Xinyue didn't believe in this kind of thing.

Gu Peiqing took the bag, carefully opened the sealed live buckle, and took out a piece of talisman paper. I don't know what was painted on it, Gu Peiqing looked at it over and over again, it was very inexplicable.

A servant girl entered the door and said, "Miss, the county lord has woken up." She's looking for that tip. ”

Feng Xinyue put the county lord's yellow bag into her arms and asked, "Lord Gu wants to go with me to visit the county lord?" ”
