Tianyi Pavilion back hall, Qiu Yue was anxiously waiting, saw Li Qing coming, hurriedly stepped forward to support her, Li Qing signaled her not to make a sound, the two pressed open the secret door, dodged in, Qiu Yue turned around and closed the secret door.

Qiu Yue was in front and Li Qing was behind, and the two of them touched the stone wall in the darkness where they couldn't see their fingers, and carefully walked down the steps.

After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, there was a faint light in front of her, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, the needle was too energy-consuming, she couldn't walk anymore, the pill of Pingwanghua would take at least half an hour, and she had to rush back to Luohan Hall within half an hour. She reached out and grabbed Qiuyue's arm, who grabbed her and continued to walk forward.

The two went out of the tunnel, turned around and closed the secret door, Liuli was anxiously stretching her neck and waiting outside, seeing Li Qing come out, she looked around vigilantly, while helping Qiu Yue neatly take off Li Qing's outer clothes and the cloth wrapped around her head, quickly took out an apricot yellow crepe skirt and a cocoon silk blouse of the same color from the jade baggage, changed it for her, and took a long white gauze hat and put it on her head, Qiu Yue hurriedly put the black clothes into the baggage, the two carefully checked it again, Fang helped Li Qing and stabilized her mind, Along the corridor, he walked out to the front hall where people came and went.

The front hall was doing the rituals, Li Qing mixed in the crowd, put incense on the pillar in front of the Jizo Bodhisattva, and then helped Qiuyue out of the Jizo Temple, called a sedan chair, and went to the Luohan Hall.

When she arrived at the Luohan Hall, Li Qing got off the sedan chair, Qiu Yue helped her into the servant women's forest, guarding the strict inner hall, Wen Qingbo was sitting bored on the big futon listening to the scriptures, and when he saw Li Qing coming in, he hurriedly stood up and took Li Qing's hand and complained:

"Qingqing, where have you been? I haven't seen you all morning! ”

"I went to Qixia Palace, I had a cold when I was a child, and every year in the heat of the day, the master has to give me a needle to pull out the cold, and I just came over after applying the needle at this time."

Li Qing replied with a weak smile, Mrs. Liu saw that Li Qing's face was pale, and cold sweat was oozing from her sideburns, so she hurriedly asked someone to help her sit down, and ordered to pour a cup of hot water for her, Li Qing sat down, drank a few sips of water, felt better, and thanked Mrs. Liu with a smile, Mrs. Liu looked at her with pity, she knew why she was cold when she was a child, she suffered from the cold, and also lost her mother. Sighing secretly, he reached out and touched her hair, and said with a gentle smile:

"The young girl just got the needle, so let's go back and take a hot shower and get some sleep."

After speaking, he turned around and instructed the mama who followed:

"You accompany Miss Qing back to Lancui Courtyard, and instruct the kitchen to cook some porridge with blood glutinous japonica, and a few lighter side dishes, let Miss Qing eat some and then sleep, and then give her a bowl of bird's nest porridge when Miss Qing wakes up."

Mama agreed to go down, Li Qing thanked him and said goodbye.

Back at Lancui Courtyard, Qiu Yue waited for Li Qing to take a bath, and changed into homely half-used pink blue silk clothes and pants. Li Qing lay on the bed, only to feel tiredness surging up like a tide, and fell asleep almost immediately, Qiu Yue looked at Li Qing's pale and tired face with pity, carefully sorted out Li Qing's hair, and lightly twisted her hair with a cotton handkerchief.

Xiaofeng Temple,

King Ping has finished washing, sitting on the couch refreshed, the little guy Ding took the jade box with a light step to put the red fruit over, King Ping used a jade skewer to tie up a red fruit and put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly, this red fruit is so sour! Sun Yi hurriedly came in to report:

"Hui Ye, everything is ready, Li Ren and Zhao Yong have already set off half an hour ago. Master, the master has confessed, you have to recuperate for half a month! Lord, you ......"

King Ping raised his hand to stop Sun Yi's words, rest? At this moment, his body is full of strength! It's also full of anger! He was poisoned, he was poisoned! Except for the gang of Zi Wuzhu in Xidi, who can raise such a vicious Gu?

"I want to recuperate, and I have to breathe this breath!"

"Yes!"

Sun Yi knew the stubbornness and conceit of the prince, so he hurriedly bowed his head and agreed, and withdrew.

King Ping called Ding Yi,

"Is there a shadow staring at Mr. Mu?"

"If you go back to the master, after the master came out, a few shadows entered the Tianyi Pavilion, and followed the secret passage to the Jizo Hall halfway up the mountainside, and there are traces of what you have just walked through in the dark road, but there are many people in the Dizang Hall today, and there are too many people, and there are no clues."

King Ping frowned, let him use five Zhou Tian to turn the pill, five Zhou Tian is more than half an hour, and in most of the hour, he has already gone away. Is it really to use medicine to detoxify, or is it to delay his time? But even if he had doubts, he didn't dare not use the pill. But the medicine is very sweet and sour.

That soft figure, that gentle, sweet, and charming voice! Like last night's wind, it is so gentle that it makes people's hearts soft. If he can stay here for even a few days, he can find this Mr. Mu to take her away, he doesn't need to check her identity, just take her, but ......

"This thing, well, you stay......"

"Yes!"

Lancui Temple.

When she woke up, Li Qing felt tired and exhausted, Qiu Yue approached the bed, and saw that Li Qing was awake, his eyes were clear, and he was smiling, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"The girl has been asleep for almost two hours, and now it's not right, eat a bowl of bird's nest porridge first, I'll let Liuli go and pass the meal, Miss Wen and Mrs. Wen have already eaten, and they are asleep at this time."

Li Qing nodded, Qiu Yue took a peach Hangzhou embroidered short blouse and a pine flower color eight-panel skirt, waited for Li Qing to put it on, helped Li Qing to sit in front of the dresser, took the peach wood comb out, stood behind and gave her hair, deftly pulled out two buns, and took a pair of white jade butterfly flowers and inserted them in the bun. Looking up at Li Qing in the mirror, the girl has grown up and is getting more and more beautiful.

Li Qing ate, took a book a little lazily and sat under the south window and watched, Liuli ran in and reported:

"Mama Zheng is back."

Li Qing hurriedly put down the book, Mama Zheng came in with a smile on her face and kowtowed to Li Qing to say goodbye, Li Qing saw her full of joy, knew that there must be good news, and motioned her to sit on the small pestle on the side, Liuli looked at Mama Zheng's joy, and also smiled with her lips, and poured a cup of tea for Mama Zheng with brisk steps, before retreating with Qiuyue.

Mama Zheng drank a few sips of tea and said with a smile in her eyes:

"Let the girl expect, that day in the Li Mansion, after eating, Mrs. Wen called Mrs. Li in, and retreated to speak, and then heard Yinyan say that even Mrs. Lady's favorite pastel hundred butterflies wear flowers and porcelain official kiln cup has fallen! Mrs. Li went straight to the eldest master's study, and the mother-in-law who was waiting outside said that she heard that she was crying badly, and the eldest master later sent someone to call the master in.

After the girl left, there were rumors in the mansions, saying that Mrs. Li was unkind and abused the daughter left by his wife, saying that the second lady and the young master were vicious and domineering, disrespectful to the elders, and insulted the eldest sister, and the rumors were very unbearable. ”

Li Qing listened carefully, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, there was a fact of disobedience to his mother-in-law, but there were no rumors, it seems that Mrs. Wen covered up this matter, so what concession did the eldest master make to make Mrs. Wen suppress this matter? What kind of outcome does Mrs. Moon want? To what extent? Next, how else will you use her as a chess piece? She looked down and turned the cup, as if she was going to get out sooner.

"I have to work hard, Mama, let Lian Qing come here."

Mama Zheng nodded, although these rumors can temporarily suppress Li Yunsheng and Mrs. Li and make them have scruples, but they also cut off Li Qing and Li Yunsheng's parents.

Early the next morning, Lian Qing went to Lancui Courtyard to ask to see him, Li Qing gave Mrs. Liu, took Qiuyue and Liuli, and went to Liuyun Hall to see Lian Qing.

Liuyun Hall is built on a high place, with doors open on all sides, and it is clear to look around the hall and the hall under the stage. Qiu Yue and Liuli were waiting in the audience, and Li Qing entered Liuyun Hall.

Lian Qing was already waiting in the hall, and when he saw Li Qing coming in, Lian Qing hurriedly greeted him and asked for peace, Li Qing sat down and said:

"Uncle Qing, sit down too."

Lian Qing just refused, and stood with his hands down waiting for Li Qing to speak.

"Uncle Qing, how much silver do we have in our account now?"

Li Qing asked, Lian Qing lowered his head and calculated, and replied:

"In May, a total of three hundred taels of silver were moved from Heshun Ji, and twenty taels of silver were given to Mama Zheng the day before yesterday, and the rest are still there, Qingyutang's interest this year is not fine, it is estimated that there are about 1,000 taels, and some medicinal materials were stored from Xidi last month, and now, there are about 200 taels of silver that can be transferred."

Now there are only four hundred and eighty taels of silver that can be used! This silver, plus Qingyutang, is all her property!

There are more than 20 Heshun Ji left by his mother, except for the two shops in the capital, the others have long been sold by Li Yunsheng, although the shops in the capital are still managed by Lian Qing, but Li Yunsheng sent Pinggui to watch in the capital, and the amount of money that can be secretly removed every year is limited. Over the years, she lived in the courtyard of the Li family, and the daily diet and daily life were all allocated by the Li Mansion every month, and the medicine she took was taken from the old monk, except for buying some bird's nest and mountain ginseng that she eats every day, she never bought anything else, until last year, she saved five thousand taels of silver and took it out to open Qingyutang. Now, she has returned to the Li Mansion, and the daily expenses and monthly money will naturally be paid by the Li Mansion, but Mrs. Li is like this, Zheng Mama and Qiu Yue and others are afraid that the monthly money will have to be paid by herself, and for a while, the place where she uses the silver money has suddenly increased, alas, fortunately, the old monk gave ten red fruits.

She took out two small jade boxes from her purse, stood up and handed them to Lian Qing:

"Uncle Qing, these are ten red fruits, two hundred years old, and the rest are fifty years old, Uncle Qing took them and sold them, and the silver was stored in the money village first."

Lian Qing took it and looked at Li Qing suspiciously, Li Qing writhed a little uneasily, and said in a low voice:

"Uncle Qing is paying attention to the news of Handi for a while."

Lian Qing raised his head, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes,

"Miss......"

Li Qing nodded, Lian Qing's expression was a little solemn,

"Miss is too bold this time, and she didn't leave any flaws, right?"

Li Qing lowered his head and said for a long time:

"There is a Mulian order, well, I gave him a needle, and I also spoke......"

Li Qing's voice became lower and lower, and the expression on Lian Qing's face was extremely rich, from stunned to frightened to angry to helpless......

"That King Ping, nicknamed Jade-Faced Yama! You! ……”

Lian Qing's face turned a little pale, Li Qing lowered his head, and twisted his handkerchief with both hands,

"Except for the old monk and the bitter loneliness, there is no one else, and King Ping must not be able to stay here......"

"Miss's voice, I haven't heard it and can't remember it! You! Alas! ”

"He is a man, and there is no reason to see the woman in the house......"

The more Li Qing said, the lower his voice became, and he didn't have the confidence,

"Miss, from today onwards, it's best not to go to the temple again, and don't say a word when you go out! ...... in the yard"

Lian Qing only felt bitter in his mouth, this courtyard is inhabited by Prime Minister Wen's family, maybe it can be safer, but I heard that King Ping is very skilled.

"I, I can use medicine to change my voice temporarily."

Li Qing said in a low flattering voice, Lian Qing looked at her and sighed:

"Now I have to do this, I just hope that King Ping will go back as soon as possible, you wait until you enter the city, and then stop the medicine!"

Li Qing nodded again and again, Lian Qing wanted to retire, but Li Qing stopped him and explained:

"Over there in Qingyutang, Uncle Qing is careful in everything, the master is shrewd."

"Miss, don't worry."

Lian Qing said solemnly and hurriedly retired.
