As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Red Sleeves rushed over and asked in a somewhat anxious tone, "Ye Gongzi, where did you just go to play?" It's taken so long to come back, I'm so anxious that I'm almost going to look for you. ”

Xia Qingyu replied lightly: "I didn't go anywhere, I just played in the garden." Hearing this, Red Sleeves didn't want to ask anything, so he went to the kitchen to bring the prepared meal and served Ye Gongzi to eat.

After eating, Xia Qingyu said to Red Sleeves: "I'm sleepy and want to rest for a while." You go down first. After the words fell, Red Sleeves locked the door for her and helped her guard the door. Red Sleeves knew that Ye Gongzi didn't want to be disturbed when he was sleeping, so whenever he wanted to sleep, he would always guard the door for him and not allow anyone to break in.

After the red sleeves went out, the little fox burst out of her arms, and Xia Qingyu reached out and took a plate of small sour fruits to feed it.

This is Xia Qingyu specially asked Red Sleeves to bring it from the kitchen every day, she only told her that she loves sour food very much, so Red Sleeves will bring several plates of small sour fruits every day.

"Xiao Liuli, do you think it's so strange that everyone in the Xia family is so strange!" Xia Qingyu supported his chin with one hand, and played with the small sour fruit on the plate with the other, and said thoughtfully.

Xia Qingyu didn't care whether Xiao Liuli responded or not, but continued to talk to herself: "The person I saw on the day of the Lantern Festival is obviously Xia Xin, the second lady of the Xia family. So who is the man? She thought back to the day she saw the two of them.

"Concubine Li is also strange, didn't they say that although she doesn't have a prince, she still has a princess? Why did she like me so much when she saw me? and Xia Qi, who committed suicide today, seeing how she kept wiping away her tears before jumping into the pool, there must be a reason for it, what did it make the extremely arrogant Miss Xia Si commit suicide? It's really interesting. Xia Qingyu thought about it and couldn't help laughing, and at this time, Xiao Liuli directly snatched the last small sour fruit that she kept fiddling with in her hand.

Xia Qingyu had no fruit in his hand, looked down, and said with a smile: "Xiao Liuli, you eat so much, what if you accidentally become a pig?" I won't be able to hold you in my arms anymore, so I'll have to take a cage and put you up. ”

When the colorful little fox heard this, she stood up and made a fierce and furious look, threatening to tear her if she dared to put it in the cage.

Seeing this, Xia Qingyu laughed, and then fell asleep. When she woke up, Red Sleeves brought a small pot of gold, as well as a few very delicate wood-carved birds, as well as a number of nourishing and precious tonics such as bird's nest, ginseng, and deer antler velvet.

Red Sleeves happily said that these are all sent by Master Xia, saying that it is for you to have a good life and nourish your body, if you need anything, just send someone to get it.

Compared with Red Sleeves, who was extremely happy, Xia Qingyu looked indifferent, and picked up two pieces of gold from the plate and stuffed them for Red Sleeves. Red Sleeves took the gold in a daze and said, "Ye ...... Ye Gongzi, do you know how much gold there is? That's a hundred taels? ”

Xia Qingyu couldn't help but smile when she saw her stupid look, and reached out to pat her: "For you." Red Sleeves glared in disbelief: "Give it to me?" Ye Gongzi, did you really give it to me? ”

"If you like it, take it with bird's nest and ginseng."

"No, no, no, that is what Master Xia gave you to recuperate, I don't want it. Ye Gongzi, it's the first time I've met such a good master as you when I've grown so big. Hee-hee......" said, and the red sleeves smirked. Xia Qingyu couldn't help but laugh when she looked at her.

However, these so-called favors that Master Xia sent her, Xia Qingyu couldn't see it from the bottom of her heart, and the enmity between her and him was not so simple. Xia Qingyu secretly thought in her heart that it was time to go to Master Xia's room to investigate.

These days, even if Red Sleeves is watching closely, and the guards of Xia Mansion have been tight since the assassination of Concubine Li's Lantern Festival, she is not without a chance to escape, and the reason why she stays is that Xia Qingyu has something to look for in Xia Mansion.

That night, Xia Qingyu stunned the red sleeves with incense, jumped out of the window, and dodged the guards of the Xia Mansion patrol and defense in all directions, and saw that no one quietly sneaked into Master Xia's study.

In the past few days, in the huge Xia Mansion, she doesn't know much else, but the location and path of Master Xia's study and room are clear to Xia Qingyu. Xia Qingyu looked at the bright moonlight shining in from the window, but she could see everything in the study clearly.

Xia Qingyu gently touched the desk, climbed onto the chair and rummaged through the things on the desk one by one, and searched carefully in the desk drawer to find it again.

Xia Qingyu felt a little deflated and scolded angrily in her heart: "This stinky old man, where did the cold-hearted stinky old man hide the painting?" Suddenly, she patted her head and remembered that Xiao Liuli was here.

Xia Qingyu hurriedly patted the little fox in his arms and shouted in a row: "Come out and come out, your uncle has something to do with you." Xiao Liuli was sleeping soundly, but she disturbed her dreams, and she was reluctant to crawl out and stare at her.

Xia Qingyu said: "Xiao Liuli, you look," while saying, he jumped up and quickly turned a hanging painting from the wall into a shaft, pointed it to it, and said with a serious face: "You go and help me find something as long as this painting, Xiao Liuli hurry up, otherwise we will die here tonight."

When the little fox heard her say this, his figure flashed and disappeared, and he didn't know where to go. Xia Qingyu spread out the scroll in his hand and hung it back on the wall, turned around, and rummaged through the bookshelves one by one.

Xia Qingyu opened a scroll full of paintings in a celadon vase on the bookshelf, and after six or seven volumes, she began to become impatient.

When Xiao Liuli came back, she saw Xia Qingyu's "masterpiece", her little heart couldn't help but be shocked, her heart twitched, and she couldn't help roaring in her heart: "Does she know that she is a thief now?"

Xia Qingyu naturally didn't know what Xiao Liuli was thinking, and when she saw that she was stunned, she quickly patted the little fox suspiciously.

Little Liuli came back to her senses from her grief and indignation, jumped quickly from one bookcase to another, and led her to another bookshelf, and then her whole body threw herself on the books and hugged the books.

Xia Qingyu looked at the little fox's movements, and when she didn't understand what she meant, she saw Xiao Liuli let go of the book and went to the back of the book, and after a while, she poked her head out and saw that Xia Qingyu also stretched out a grab and shook it towards her.

Xia Qingyu took down all the books that blocked the little fox, and saw Xiao Liuli sitting upright on a long mahogany box with delicate gold wire inlays hidden behind the books, and suddenly realized.

Xia Qingyu took out the remaining books that were blocking the long wooden box one by one, and then took down the mahogany box. When he was about to open it, he found that the box had fallen into the lock, Xia Qingyu had to use internal force to break the lock, and when he opened it, it was a scroll, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and opened it with anticipation.

Xia Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she saw a lifelike and beautiful woman painted on the painting, with slender willow eyebrows, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, full of rippling style in the soft waves, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as beautiful as a fairy.
