After the others left, Lu Li called the secret guard out, and his eyes were very fierce.

"I went to the Jingzhong Teahouse, secretly searched the troupe, and took so many children's corpses, it must be impossible to hide, and I will report it immediately when I have news."

The secret guard received the order, quickly answered yes, and disappeared into the darkness with the people.

Su Xiaoman was looking left and right in the palace at this time, but he was a little worried that he hadn't seen Lu Li come back so late.

"Niangniang, the emperor is back."

Xianglan knew that her mother was worried, so she kept guard at the door, and as soon as she saw the light, she hurried back to tell her.

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he hurriedly rushed out, only to see Lu Li and his personal eunuch enter the courtyard together.

"Why is it so late today?"

Su Xiaoman stepped forward and grabbed Lu Li's sleeve, as if he was reproaching, but in fact he was concerned.

Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Lu Li smiled on his tired face, stretched out his hand, grabbed Su Xiaoman, and patted him gently.

"I'm talking to Dr. Goshi, it's over, I'm worried about you."

As he spoke, Lu Li also raised his hand and pinched Su Xiaoman's face, very doting.

After hearing this, Su Xiaoman understood that he was busy with the affairs of the court, although he wanted to know something, she didn't ask much.

On the contrary, Lu Li sat in his seat, drank the hot water that Su Xiaoman poured for him, and spoke.

"It's really as you said, the corpses of the stillborn children in Shangjing are gone."

Su Xiaoman didn't expect that Lu Li would talk to him, and nodded, that is, he already understood.

Seeing that she was so calm, Lu Li didn't think much about it and continued to speak.

"I have already ordered people to investigate, more than twenty, presumably it is not easy to hide, as long as the bodies are found, I will immediately send troops to take them down."

Su Xiaoman listened and nodded, indeed the evidence was already very favorable.

Lu Li saw that Su Xiaoman didn't say a word, but he was curious, and just wanted to ask something.

I saw Su Xiaoman get up, stand behind Lu Li, and gently pinch his shoulder.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things early, you have been worrying about those trivial things these days, and it is time to rest."

Lu Li felt the strength of her hand, narrowed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly.

Seeing this, Su Xiaoman smiled at the corner of his mouth and continued to speak.

"Now that they've been confirmed, just find out the things and finish the case, so you don't have to worry about it these days."

Lu Li listened, it did make sense, so he nodded.

It didn't take long for the two to rest, and Su Xiaoman thought that the two of them would soon be caught at this time, so he remembered the matter of the elixir before, and prepared to go out tomorrow to find it.

...

As soon as it was dawn, Su Xiaoman opened his eyes, and he couldn't sleep because he had something in his heart.

Lu Li saw that Su Xiaoman's eyes were open, he tied the last belt, and looked at her suspiciously.

"Why did you wake up so early today? It's still early, you're going to sleep for a while. ”

Su Xiaoman shook his head, he was confused in the past, but today he is sober.

"I'm leaving the palace today."

Lu Li's hand in sorting out his clothes was a little stiff, and he didn't know what Su Xiaoman was crazy about today.

Then he walked to the bed, sat down in front of her, and reached out and touched her forehead.

"It's not a fever, why did you start talking nonsense."

Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li, who was frowning, and was also very helpless, and said.

"I'm fine, I'm going out today to run errands."

Lu Li saw that it was still early, so he asked, but Su Xiaoman didn't hide it, and told him about the elixir a few days ago.

Then he looked at Lu Li with straight eyes, looking like he had to go out.

"When I go out today, I want to ask if I can buy medicine, and send it to the imperial doctor to see if he can make exactly the same one."

Su Xiaoman said word by word, but Lu Li didn't believe it.

In this world, birth, old age, sickness and death are rich and noble, how can there be such a thing that changes one's life against the sky?

"I don't believe what you said, why don't you send someone from the palace?"

Su Xiaoman frowned when he heard this, he still wanted to go out for a while, how could he hand over this job.

Then he cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, playing Laipi for a while, holding Lu Li's arm and coquettish.

"I don't care, I have to do it."

In the end, it was almost time for the last dynasty, and Lu Li really couldn't resist her, so he agreed, but he had to bring someone.

Su Xiaoman nodded and said that it was no problem.

...

Soon Su Xiaoman took Xianglan and a few guards out of the palace, and the goal was very simple, that is, the Wang family's shop.

After arriving at the shop, the shopkeeper greeted him, and when he saw Su Xiaoman dressed extraordinarily, he was very flattering.

"This lady is really eye-catching, I don't know what I want to see? Our shop is full of goodies, and you will never lose your identity. ”

Su Xiaoman pretended to look at it at first, but he didn't look very satisfied.

Accompanied by Xiao Er, Su Xiaoman frowned, as if he didn't like it.

"Madam, you don't have anything to do with this?"

Xiao Er also had a sad face, raising his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, it seems that this big customer is not easy to serve.

Su Xiaoman picked up the last hairpin, shook his head, and put the things on the table.

"Call your shopkeepers out."

This is the first thing Su Xiaoman said after he came in, Xiao Er was panicked, and said that the guest officer would wait a minute.

After a while, I saw the shopkeeper come out from behind, hurrying.

"This lady, I wonder what you think of our store?"

Su Xiaoman saw the visitor, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, pointed to the backyard, and spoke.

"The shopkeeper is right, I don't know if I can borrow a step to speak, if I can, I will buy the jewelry of your shop."

Su Xiaoman said this sentence, which can be seen to be quite arrogant, and the shopkeeper immediately changed to a grinning appearance.

Then he led the way and said please.

Su Xiaoman passed by the courtyard with people, and when he saw that there were more high-grade chrysanthemums in the courtyard at this time, he smiled slightly.

Everyone sat in the room, and the shopkeeper hurriedly asked people to make tea.

Su Xiaoman didn't want to

If you have more time, you will ask directly.

"I heard that the shopkeeper has an elixir here?"

The shopkeeper froze in place, and after a moment, he nodded, admitting that he did have it.

Su Xiaoman listened, showed joy, and said with a smile.

"A few days ago, I heard that the shopkeeper gave out one, I wonder if the shopkeeper still has stock in his hand now? I'm thinking about buying some. ”

Seeing this, the shopkeeper narrowed his eyes, as if he was looking.

Soon Xiao Er came over, holding the brewed tea, but the shopkeeper didn't make a sound, and when he saw that Xiao Er had poured the tea, he asked him to retreat.

also asked him to close the door, Su Xiaoman saw this, and knew that the second incident was somewhat important, and pretended to have a sad face.

"The price is not a problem, the old man in the family is dying, and I want to give him a life."

When the boss heard this, he put on a sympathetic look, and then spoke.

"This elixir, if it is not easy to come by, I still have four in my hand now, if Madame wants it, I will give it to Madame."

When Su Xiaoman heard this, he looked overjoyed, and hurriedly asked if it was true.

The shopkeeper nodded, and then became serious, because it was time to start discussing the price.

"I also begged someone to buy this medicine, I don't know if the lady paid for 10,000 taels of silver?"

Su Xiaoman listened, pretended to be stunned, and then nodded, as if he had made up his mind.

"Yes, 10,000 taels, I will come out, as long as the shopkeeper endures the pain and cuts love."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and said that he would pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Su Xiaoman had already prepared and asked Xianglan to take out the money first.

The shopkeeper was not ambiguous, said to wait a while, and came back after getting up and going out.

handed the delicate box to Su Xiaoman and took the money from Su Xiaoman's hands.

After Su Xiaoman took it, he opened it and saw that it was a jet-black ball, and hurriedly said thank you.

Then he stayed longer, saying that the things in the shopkeeper's store would be priced.

The shopkeeper thought she was talking about fun, but she didn't expect to be so creditable, so she said with a smile.

"Madame is too polite, this jewelry or something, I have worked hard to get it, and my business may not be easy to do when I buy it all at once, why don't you pick one you like?"

Seeing this, Su Xiaoman thought it was good to save money for himself, so he picked one casually and gave the money.

Then he took people around the street, walked for a while, but found nothing new.

Just as Su Xiaoman was looking at the fun gadgets, he heard the stall owner and the stall owner on the side discussing.

"Let me tell you, which old man in the alley is gone today."

At first, Su Xiaoman didn't pay attention, but looked at the gadgets seriously, and knew that the man on the side had replied, so he listened carefully for a while.

"In the alley, is that the one who got the elixir?"

The stall owner nodded, saying yes, Su Xiaoman's movements were much slower.

"It's not that I've taken the elixir, I'm still a lot younger, how can I say it's gone?"

The stall owner over there looked puzzled, while the one on the other side shook his head.

"This

We don't know, the medicine is fake. ”

As they spoke, the two laughed, and Su Xiaoman took a gadget and asked the boss to bargain.

The stall owner looked at it and said fifty words, Su Xiaoman took out the money, and stepped forward to ask.

"You guys said that you got the chrysanthemum a few days ago?"

Seeing this, the two understood that this lady was a person who knew the situation.

also understood that Mrs. liked to join in the fun, so she said a few more words to Su Xiaoman.

"That's not it, after he took the medicine at that time, he was really younger, who knew that it would be gone in a few days."

The stall owner on the side also shook his head helplessly, Su Xiaoman sighed and asked again.

"What is it like when you don't have it, young or old?"

The stall owner didn't expect Su Xiaoman to look quiet and quiet, and he was so good.

But he didn't hide it, after all, this is something that the neighbors know.

"I went to see it, and my hair was still black, and I was lying motionless on the bed, and I looked young."

After hearing this, Su Xiaoman pondered for a moment, and then pretended to be a good thing and spoke.

"Tut-tut, I didn't expect that I would have to go back and talk to my sisters."

After that, he got up and left here with people, the two stall owners didn't notice anything abnormal, Su Xiaoman left, and the two continued to chat about the things around them.
