Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi went back to the bookstore, and when they returned to the bookstore, they saw Chang Qing and Liu Congwen talking about her modern poems.

"I heard that you went to find fault today?" Liu Congwen has always been well-informed, and looking at the appearance of Shen Xi and Lu Qingyi, he knew that they had made each other deflated.

"Don't say such ugly things as finding faults, it's obvious that they smashed my field first." Lu Qingyi immediately sat down.

"Why are you and the princess so free today, and you still have the leisure to drink tea and read books here." Shen Xi also sat down and looked at the two of them with a wicked smile.

"It just happened." Liu Congwen's tone was light, without the slightest wave.

"I'm here to find you, your poetry collections have been passed to the palace, I definitely want to come and see it, now you are a big celebrity in the palace, and those palace maids and eunuchs are vying to see your poetry collection!" Chang Qing was really bored in the palace by herself, so she begged the emperor to let her out of the palace, who knew that she would meet Liu Congwen here.

Shen Xi didn't speak, she didn't know if her affairs were spread to the palace, whether it was good or bad, in the high walls of the deep palace, there were jackals, tigers and leopards, and she was an enemy, maybe this was not a good thing for her.

Since she came to the capital, she has lived under the protection of Lu Qingyi.

Chang Qing sat until the sun set in the afternoon before leaving, Liu Congwen had no plans to leave, Shen Xi felt strange, this Liu Congwen would never stay with her for long, why did she stay so long today?

"Why aren't you leaving today? My bookstore is closing. Shen Xi stepped forward.

"Are you going to drive me away?" Liu Congwen raised his eyes and looked at Shen Xi, looking pitiful.

Shen Xi couldn't stand others like this, so he turned around and left, and let Liu Congwen and Lu Qingyi drink tea and chat somewhere.

Not long after they had dinner, Chang Yi rushed over in a hurry.

"Something happened in the palace." I saw that his voice was tight, and he looked at Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen with a serious face.

"What's the matter?" Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen both frowned slightly, since Chang Yi came back from the victory, the emperor asked him to be responsible for the security of the entire imperial city, and now there is an accident in the palace at night, it must have something to do with him.

"Look and see."

Shen Xi originally wanted to enter the palace with Lu Qingyi and them, but was stopped by Lu Qingyi, and in the end she was defeated by Shen Fang.

"Then be careful yourself." Shen Xi looked at Chang Yi's expression and guessed that things must not be simple.

After Lu Qingyi nodded slightly, he entered the palace with Liu Congwen and Chang Yi.

As soon as they brought their horses to the gate of the imperial city, Chang Yi stopped the carriage and stopped walking.

"We're just waiting here." Chang Yi's voice was cold, and his eyes kept staring straight at the direction of the city gate, for fear that flies would fly out of it.

Not long after, he saw a carriage driving out of the palace, Lu Qingyi looked at the carriage a little familiar, it looked like a carriage that was always dry, he frowned slightly, "What is the prince doing out of the palace now?" And it looks like it's in a hurry. ”

Then he drove a carriage to block Chang Gan's way. 19th Floor Literature

"Don't show your face." Liu Congwen instructed Chang Yi to turn it over, and then got out of the carriage with Lu Qingyi.

"Prince, this is even more exposed, you left the palace alone, isn't there something going on?" Lu Qingyi's expression was stern, and he was not afraid because the other party was the crown prince.

Chang Dry fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lu Qingyi, thinking of today's pharmacy, he was even more angry, he immediately got out of the carriage and looked at Lu Qingyi, "Is it difficult that when will the prince leave the palace and still need your approval?" ”

Lu Qingyi immediately bent down slightly, "The prince doesn't have to tell us when he leaves the palace, but I'm afraid the prince won't be able to leave the palace casually tonight." ”

"Lu Qingyi, you are just a grass man, don't think that your father values you, you can do whatever you want, today this prince is really going to leave the palace, what can you do with me." Chang Qian was very angry by Lu Qingyi's fearless appearance.

Liu Congwen stretched out his hand to stop Chang Gan, with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "The minister received the news that something happened in the palace, so he naturally wanted to come in and check it, not to mention that it is an eventful time now, and the safety of the palace is the top priority, and I ask the prince to forgive me." ”

He is the secretary of Dali Temple, although it is not his turn to interfere in the affairs of the palace, but as long as it is related to the case, it is his turn to take care of it, and the emperor has also authorized him to enter and exit the palace at any time, which also shows that he has a responsibility for the safety of the palace.

"Prince, the ministers are grateful to the emperor, and now that something has happened in the palace, it is natural to do a duty, you leave the palace late at night, we all have to investigate according to the rules." Liu Congwen didn't flinch at all, and he knew that tonight's events were related to him when he looked at Chang Gan's appearance.

Chang Qian immediately sneered and looked at Lu Qingyi, "Then what about you, did you also enter the palace to investigate the case?" What are you doing in the palace late at night, a grass man without any official position? Who would dare to guarantee that there is no conspiracy if you enter the palace! ”

"If the prince thinks that I have entered the palace and has any conspiracy, he can search me." Lu Qingyi smiled, looked at Chang Gan's gradually nervous face, and then glanced at his carriage, and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid the prince may not be." ”

"Please also ask the prince and the ministers to check it, and the ministers can also communicate with the emperor, which is also a good thing for the prince, so as not to misunderstand it when the time comes." Liu Congwen said coldly.

Chang Gan's face turned dark, and he frowned and reprimanded, "What if this prince refuses? You are just a Dali Siqing, is it possible that you dare to use force against this prince? ”

"Prince, if you don't have anything in this carriage, why are you so nervous?" Liu Congwen stared at Chang Qian with a serious expression.

Lu Qingyi immediately took advantage of Chang Dry's inattention, got into his carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw that in the carriage, a palace maid was injured all over her body, tied by ropes, and her mouth was stuffed with strips of cloth, looking at Lu Qingyi with desperate eyes, and there were tears in the corners of her eyes.

Lu Qingyi also smelled a smell of blood, but he didn't see any injuries on the palace maid's body.

Lu Qingyi didn't have time to think much, so he untied the rope of the palace maid and took out the strip of cloth from her mouth, frowning deeply.

"Prince, can you explain why? smuggled the palace maid out of the palace in the middle of the night, if the emperor knew about it, what would you think would happen? ”

Chang Gan's expression changed dramatically when he saw it, and he pointed at Lu Qingyi and scolded sharply, "Is it possible for this prince to punish his palace maid and explain it to you?" ”

Between Chang Dry's words, there was a little flustery.

Lu Qingyi looked at the palace maid and smiled, "Really?" ”

"The prince smuggled the palace maid out of the palace, Lord Liu, how should this crime be sentenced?" Lu Qingyi looked at Liu Congwen and asked.

"At least he will be beaten on the board, and at worst he will be sent to prison." Liu Congwen's face was indifferent.

Chang Qian looked at Lu Qingyi and Liu Congwen, and was anxious for a while, if this matter reached the ears of the emperor, even if he had the support of the queen, the punishment would not be escaped.
