In the palace of the prince of Dingxi, Wu Qing was playing a strange set of swordsmanship, Leng Xiao watched from the side, there was no expression on his face, holding the sword, not moving.

"It's boring!" Wu Qing put away the sword, and just happened to see the eldest grandson Yun coming from under the corridor, and couldn't help waving happily, "Senior brother, here!" ”

The eldest grandson Yun was dressed in white, with a blue brocade ribbon around his waist, a jade crown and his hair, and the whole person was like a fairy.

"What, do you have a reply?" Wu Qing walked over with a smile, and when he heard Changsun Yun's question, the smile on his face disappeared, and he lowered his face and said, "No." The eldest grandson Yun was anxious, and hurriedly asked, "How could it be, did you hand over the purse to her with your own hands?" ”

Wu Qing cried with a sad face, "Oh, it's really not, I just went to ask this morning, and there really isn't." Eldest Sun Yun was silent, took the sword in Leng Xiao's hand and danced a few times, and the small sapling in the courtyard that had just grown up was cut bare.

Wu Qing was a little scared, and hurriedly said again: "Hey, I haven't finished talking yet." ”

Eldest Sun Yun put away the sword and said lightly: "I haven't replied to the letter, what else is there to talk about?" Wu Qing hurriedly caught up with Changsun Yun's footsteps, "Don't you go first, listen to me, I went to ask her this morning if she had replied, although she said no, but there were piles of waste paper on the ground, guess where did these paper balls come from?" The step that Eldest Sun Yun was about to take was suddenly retracted, and his originally tense face suddenly relaxed, "What you said is true?" Wu Qing stuck out his tongue, "How dare I tell you a lie?" Eldest Sun Yun smiled and asked, "How is she lately?" Is there anyone in the house who is difficult for her anymore? Wu Qing hugged his arms and looked at Changsun Yun up and down a few times, "Don't worry, with me by her side, what are you afraid of?" The two practiced swordsmanship for a while, and Wu Qing remembered that he would go back to Zhuzhiyuan to protect Jiu'er, so he didn't stay any longer, and hurriedly walked back.

On the way home, Wu Qing saw that there were small snacks selling on the street, and his heart was itchy, Jiu'er and Zhulian were frightened, so it would be good to buy some osmanthus cakes and go back to them to try them.

"Two packets of osmanthus cakes." Wu Qing stepped forward, and was taking out the money from his arms, when his eyes caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure next to him.

Hurriedly paid, Wu Qing put the snack into his arms and cautiously followed.

Seeing that the other party entered a pharmacy, Wu Qing also hurriedly followed, hiding in front of the stall opposite the pharmacy, Wu Qing pretended to be discussing with the stall owner, but in fact, he was secretly looking inside, and saw that the person quickly walked out, Wu Qing took a closer look, isn't this Xue Ping, the deputy steward of the house.

This Xue Ping, if you don't stay in the mansion and do things well, what are you doing in the pharmacy? Wu Qing pondered, and when he saw Xue Ping looking around, he quickly walked south, and Wu Qing hurriedly put down the things in his hand and pretended to come to the pharmacy.

"What do you order?" As soon as he entered the door, a small servant stepped forward, Wu Qing waved his hand, and walked straight to the counter, "Get me some medicine to cure the cold." ”

The pharmacy responded and turned around to get the medicine, Wu Qing hurriedly leaned out and looked carefully at the counter, wanting to see if there were any clues.

The counter was clean, there were some prescription copywriting and yellow paper wrapped in medicinal materials, Wu Qing looked around, and happened to see a little black slag on the ground.

I saw it just now, after Xue Ping left, no one has ever come here, then this medicine slag must have been missed by Xue Ping, Wu Qing took the medicine handed over by the guy, and suddenly fell to the ground without holding it steadily, and when he bent down to pick it up, he scraped the medicine slag with his hand and held it in his hand.

Out of the pharmacy, Wu Qing did not go to the house, but went straight to the Baoren Medical Center, that is, his father's medical hall, as soon as he entered the door, he saw his father sitting at the counter to check the pulse, Wu Qing quietly walked to the back hall, and after a while, he saw his father walk in.

"What are you doing here?"

Wu Qing smiled, "Why, I'm your old biological daughter, why am I so unhappy when I come back." As he spoke, he walked up to Wu Zheng and spread out his hand, "Look, what is this?" Wu Zheng glanced at it, then reached out and took some and put it under his nose and sniffed it, his face became solemn.

Xia Mengning and Jiu'er went back to the Bamboo Branch Garden, and after sitting down for a while, they saw Wu Qing running in in a hurry, Xia Mengning thought that Wu Qing would say something about the purse, so she didn't make a sound, just embroidered the veil slowly.

Jiu'er was very happy, poured tea and handed it to Wu Qing, Wu Qing took the tea, and said, "It's better to be sister Jiu'er." After drinking the tea in the bowl, Wu Qingcai said, "You will never think of what I saw just now." Xia Mengning didn't raise her eyes, "What?" Wu Qing seemed to be very dissatisfied with Xia Mengning's attitude towards him, so he took out a small paper bag from his sleeve and handed it to Xia Mengning, "Look, what is this?" Xia Mengning glanced at it and realized that it might not have anything to do with last night's purse, so she put down the handkerchief in her hand, took it and opened it, sniffed it carefully, and frowned.

"Why, do you know what this is?" Wu Qing saw that Xia Mengning's expression became solemn, and his face was quite proud.

Xia Mengning slowly put down the paper bag in her hand and looked up at Wu Qing, "This spice is so strange, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary spice." Wu Qing looked at Xia Mengning approvingly, moved the embroidery stool, and told Xia Mengning the cause of the incident before Xia Mengning came forward.

After listening to this, Xia Mengning was secretly frightened, this Xue Ping has always been an unfuel-efficient master, how could he be hooked with this thing again.

Seeing Xia Mengning's serious face, Wu Qing hurriedly said: "I went back to the hospital and asked my father, only to learn that this spice is a plant called Snake Beauty from the Western Regions, which can play a refreshing role, so it was made as a tribute to the royal family, but if people receive this incense for a long time, they will be delirious, and finally die of weakness." Xia Mengning nodded, "Xue Ping is Mother Liu's eldest son-in-law, and Mother Liu is a member of the Fang family, and now this matter is all directed to Yilan Garden, and the matter of Jiu'er and Zhulian is probably also related to Yilan Garden." Wu Qing thought for a while, "Do you want me to go and watch Yilan Garden." Xia Mengning nodded, "It's just that this spice is a tribute, and there are very few people who can afford it, how can this ordinary pharmacy have this kind of spice?" ”

Just as the two were thinking, there was a commotion outside the door, Jiu'er hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out to look, only to see two family members walking in with a small square table, and when they saw Jiu'er, they immediately shouted loudly: "This sister, the little one is asked by Steward Li to bring a table to the third lady." Jiu'er glanced back at Xia Mengning, who also heard it, stood up and walked out.

"The little one has seen the third lady." Xia Mengning smiled, "Steward Lao Li bothered, just let it go." The two family members were quick with their hands and feet, and quickly set up the table, Xia Mengning asked Jiu'er to give each of them a piece of broken silver, and then turned around and went back to the back room.

Jiu'er handed the broken silver to the two of them and said, "I'll send it to you." As he spoke, he walked out of the door behind the two, and when he went out, one of them quickly handed a paper ball to Jiu'er, and then said with a smile: "This sister stays, the little one will leave." ”
