In the afternoon of this day, the inner chamberlain, whom Miss Liu could not find, finally got the news that the man was dead. After dying in the remote rocks, he was found by the monks in the temple, and his body was stiff, and it seemed that he had been dead for several hours.

Jin Yiwei went to the scene to investigate, and also checked the body of the inner prisoner, and the result turned out to be sudden death for no reason.

Miss Liu wanted to go and see, but asked Jian Xiu to hold her and prevent her from being in front of the corpse.

When Miss Liu turned around, she saw Feng Siying flashing under the tree not far away. It seems that she is also coming.

In this way, Miss Liu even suspected that Feng Siying would not be able to get out of the relationship, and the inner supervisor might not have killed her.

But Miss Liu still doesn't understand, does Feng Siying want to murder the Queen Mother or kill the inner eunuch?

But in front of him was the death of the inner chamberlain, a sudden, bizarre death. Maybe Jin Yiwei didn't notice anything unusual, but she knew in her heart that Feng Siying had been drugged.

The body of the inner eunuch was disposed of by the Jinyi guard as soon as possible, even if it was a sudden death, and there was not much investigation.

After Jian Xiu approached her, he saw that her expression was not very natural, and asked with concern, "Yi'er, are you uncomfortable?" ”

Miss Liu paused and smiled faintly, "No, it's just that someone died suddenly, and I feel sad." ”

Jian Xiu grabbed her wrist, "Don't look at it, I'll send you back to the room." ”

～～～～～～～～～

On the third day of Cishou Temple, the Queen Mother finished worshipping the Buddha, and a group of people went out of the temple.

Jian Xiu personally escorted the Queen Mother back to the palace, and ordered his subordinate Yao to send Miss Liu back to the house.

Jinyi Wei Yao Zhi personally drove the carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and left after sending Miss Liu into the mansion.

As soon as she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chunlin had already come to the front yard to greet her, and her excited appearance was as if she hadn't seen her for several years.

Of course, the first thing Miss Liu did when she returned home was to say hello to her aunt. After bowing in front of the eldest lady, the eldest lady hurriedly raised her hand to get her up, and said with a smile, "Are you still used to it in front of the queen mother?" ”

said that he was not used to it, and he looked at that person's heart even more vigorously, can he do it, of course not.

Miss Liu smiled with her eyebrows, "Fortunately, the Queen Mother is very kind to the elderly, just like her aunt, she is easy to get close to." ”

"That's good." The eldest lady smiled happily, and then instructed the servant women beside her, "Ji'er has eaten vegetarian food in the temple for a few days, let the kitchen cook some delicious food, and let Ji'er replenish her body." ”

The servant woman hurriedly answered and went to the kitchen.

The sky is gloomy and gloomy and about to rain, a few dark clouds from afar drift with the wind over the capital, the original Qinglang sunshine is immediately dimmed, time gradually fades, the gloomy sky is dull, when the heavy rain is coming, the pedestrians outside are in a hurry to their homes.

There are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the streets of the whole capital, and when it rains, some pedestrians immediately crowd to nearby places where they can take shelter from the rain.

Xiyuan Inn, whose business is relatively weak on weekdays, has been stranded with a group of customers because of this rain. The table is full, and many people are still crowded into one table, but you can go into the store to avoid the rain and always order some food.

The back kitchen of the inn was busy flying, and the guests in front kept calling, all yelling, hurry up and serve the food.

The shopkeeper and the errand runner in front of him couldn't be idle, and seeing that the business was so good, the smile on the shopkeeper's face was something he hadn't seen in the past few months.

Just when the inn was overcrowded and there were no empty tables crowded, a man and a woman walked in at the door again. Some of the guests glanced at it, but they didn't care about what they were doing, they still only cared about eating for themselves.

The man and the woman, the man was wearing a green shirt, a thin body, about fifty years old, and was about to enter the elderly. And the woman, not very old, about fifteen or sixteen years old, was supporting the old man. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a grandfather and grandson.

The shopkeeper greeted him with a smile, but there was no place for him, so he had to apologize and said, "Our store is very welcome, but you see that there is no place to sit, why don't you wait?" ”

The old man looked around and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Then wait." ”

There was nothing to do, but at this time there was a table, and there were three people at the table, and all three of them were ruffians. When I saw that the little girl was quite beautiful, I had evil thoughts and looked like I wanted to do wrong. One of them beckoned to the girl, "Girl, come, come and sit here." Ben Ye has a place here, come, come here. ”

That lewd look made the woman at the door really want to step forward and strangle him, but the old man next to her touched her with his elbow and signaled her not to be impulsive.

The more the old man and the woman were afraid, the more emboldened the three men.

Just as the ruffian got up and was about to stretch out his hand to drag the woman, a folding fan suddenly flew from upstairs, and it hit the ruffian's hand impartially.

Suddenly, the people in the main hall of the inn subconsciously looked up. The ruffian also exclaimed, and when he looked up, he sneered, "Who is it!" ”

The old man and the girl didn't expect anyone to meddle, so they couldn't help but look at it.

Walking down the corridor of the inn, a man in a brocade robe was with his entourage.

The other two ruffians also stood up and looked at the two men. Seeing that the person who came was not ordinary, and the shot was not simple, his face couldn't help but sink.

These two people are none other than Runzeyu and his entourage Rong Xian.

Runzeyu couldn't help but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if he didn't feel scared together, "It's to stop it, what, no?" ”

Seeing that it was an unfamiliar face, the ruffian who began to tease the little girl pulled up a sneer, not worried and afraid, and took a step towards Runzeyu, chuckling, "Where did you come from, brother, dare to take care of Uncle Ben's affairs." ”

Runzeyu sneered, "I'll take care of it today." ”

Just when the ruffian wanted to teach a lesson, he saw the jade bead hanging on the Runze jade belt, and he was stunned for a moment, and the hand that had just been raised immediately took it back. The man's expression suddenly darkened, and he hurriedly beckoned to the other two brothers, whispered a few words in their ears, and then ran away regardless of whether it was still raining outside.

The inn was tense for a while, and everyone returned to calm. It's just that some people are biting the root of their ears and talking about the identity of this man, and they can scare away those three ruffians who are not afraid of things.

The corners of the little girl's eyes were already slightly moistened, and she was very grateful to Runzeyu, "Thank you, son." ”

Runzeyu glanced at her lightly and waved her hand lightly, "It's just a trivial matter." ”

Rong Xian picked up the folding fan he had just thrown and handed it to Runzeyu.

Seeing that the three people had left, the shopkeeper hurriedly cleaned up the empty table and beckoned the grandfather and grandson to sit down.

The old man hugged his fists and wanted to invite Runzeyu to have a drink, but when it was a thanks, Runzeyu refused, "You're welcome." After finishing speaking, he ignored the grandfather and grandson, turned around and went upstairs again.

Back upstairs, Runzeyu walked to the windowsill and looked at the rain outside, looking silent.

Rong Xian behind him was puzzled by the three ruffians just now, and asked, "Young Master, who are those three people?" ”

After seeing the young master, he ran away inexplicably, and I think the young master was also suspicious.

"Someone who knows me." Runzeyu said lightly.

How could the three street scoundrels know the young master, obviously so that Runzeyu and Rong Xian didn't understand.

"When the rain stops, I'll check and see why those three people know me." Runze Yu said gently.

Rong Xian immediately understood, and answered yes.

Runzeyu's gaze stayed on the light rain, his expression was calm, and his tone was also calm, "In a few days, it will be the seventh day of the seventh month of July." ”

Rong Xian understood, and responded, "Yes." ”

The wind whistled outside.

Runze Yu said, "The weather is not good. ”

Rong Xian didn't look outside and understood, and replied to him, "Maybe tomorrow the sky will be clear, and the young master doesn't have to worry." ”

"Did you say she'd show up that day?" Runzeyu still didn't move, and she was obviously a little lonely in Rong Xian's eyes.

"Definitely, didn't the master test the young master." Rong Xian replied to him with some comfort.

The corners of Runzeyu's mouth pulled out a smile, "If you can't find it this year, you'll have to wait for next year, I don't want to wait any longer." ”

"I will definitely find it, don't worry too much, young master." Rong Xian comforted again.

Only then did Runzeyu turn around and purse her lips at him and smile faintly, maybe Rong Xian's words made him believe that there would be a miracle.

Downstairs at the inn.

The old man and the girl were dining, and the girl quietly glanced around at the guests before looking at the old man.

The girl looks cold and dusty, with a delicate face, hair like ink, and thin clothes. It's just that such a little girl's eyes are very cold, and she looks completely different from pretending to be weak just now.

"Father-in-law, the person upstairs is Runzeyu." The girl whispered, obviously afraid of being heard.

The old man nodded, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's easy to find him, and you will definitely find that woman." ”

"Father-in-law, should we contact Sister Youtan next?" The girl asked softly.

The old man shook his head calmly, "No, contact her when you need her, and you and I can complete this task." ”

The old man took a sip of tea and said solemnly, "Next, we will also live in this store, and just keep an eye on Runze Yu." ”

The girl nodded in understanding.

"Xue Mian, go book a room." The old man explained.

The girl stood up and walked to the counter, took the money out of her purse, and asked the shopkeeper for a room.

Taking the key to the room, the girl helped the old man upstairs. It just so happened that the room was next door to Runzeyu.

Prime Minister's House.

Jian Xiu came back very early, and rode back on weekdays, but because of the rain, he had to walk home with an umbrella. But even with an umbrella, because it started to rain heavily, my clothes were still raining. After returning to his room, he changed his clothes and went directly to the courtyard of his mother's eldest lady.

Wen Si, a servant in his courtyard, told him that the eldest lady asked him to come back and went to eat together in the lady's courtyard.

The eldest lady and Liu Piaoyi were chatting while sipping tea. Seeing Jian Xiu coming, the eldest lady instructed the servant, "You can serve the food." ”

Jian Xiu called her mother and sat down, her eyes couldn't help but look at Miss Liu.

The woman in front of her still had a faint smile on her face, and although the corners of her mouth were raised, there was always a sense of disobedience, especially her eyes that should have been clear, as if they were covered with a veil and lacked a little luster.

Is she forcing a smile?

Jian Xiu had a momentary illusion, but her expression was fleeting, and he didn't fully understand.

The eldest lady looked at Jian Xiu and didn't notice Liu Piaoyi's expression just now.

"Ji'er said that you took good care of her in Cishou Temple and thought you were very good." The eldest lady was telling Jian Xiu that she was chatting with Ji'er just now.

"Yes, Cousin Jane is very attentive." Liu Piaoyi smiled, and even more shyly lowered her cheeks, and through her bangs, she could see the joy of raising the corners of her mouth, but no one noticed that her clear expression under her thick eyelids was slightly gloomy.

Jian Xiu was very happy by what she said, and said to his mother, "It's right to take care of Yi'er." ”

The servant woman, the servant brought the food to the table.

Liu Piaoyi was very sensible and generally let the eldest lady go first, and then followed her to the table.

Xiangye also asked the servants to invite from the study.

The eldest young master Zhang Jingxiu, the eldest young grandmother Mei Xinyue, and the eldest grandson Zhang Chonghui were all invited over.

All the people in the big room have arrived, but Liu Piaoyi is not calm, and always feels that it is very important to gather together for dinner tonight.
