He Hua Xiao took the initiative to mention that Jade Fan Jun was fine, but she had a problem when she mentioned it.

This double standard can really be implemented.

Li Qing shook his head speechlessly in his heart.

She thought for a moment, and instead of changing the subject as before, she took out the four treasures of the study from the dark compartments embedded on both sides of the carriage, and slowly polished the ink.

Hua Xiao closed his eyes and waited for a long time, but he didn't hear Li Qing speak, only heard the movement of thin ropes in the carriage.

He opened his eyes and looked at it, just in time to see Li Qing open the secret compartment and take out the four treasures of the study.

When Li Qing turned around, he closed his eyes again in time and turned his head back.

Li glanced at Hua Xiao and didn't notice that he opened his eyes to look at her, but this did not delay her next behavior.

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she unfolded the fold of paper used for writing, grinding the ink unhurriedly.

Hua Xiao listened attentively, and heard the sound of grinding ink, so he still sat still.

If it seems to others who don't know the truth, it seems as if he is asleep at this moment.

Li lightly sharpened the ink and began to write on the paper.

While writing, he asked casually: "How many palace concubines are there in the emperor's harem?" ”

Hua Xiao opened his eyes and put down his arms that were hugging each other.

"What are you asking for?"

He glanced at the paper in front of Li Qing, on which the word "Empress" was written on it.

Below the queen, in the back position, the word "virtuous concubine" is written.

Concubine Xian is the last among the four concubines.

Although not every position of the emperor's four concubines has people, Concubine Xian is still the last among the four concubines.

Judging from the arrangement of these two words, Hua Xiao probably understood why Li Qing wrote it like this.

Li Qing dipped the tip of his pen in a little ink in the inkstone: "While we were waiting for you, something happened at the post station, do you know what happened?" ”

"What?" No one has told Hua Xiao yet, and Hua Xiao has not entered the post station, so naturally he doesn't know what Li Qing is referring to.

Li said lightly: "I heard that the queen likes to eat lychees, and the concubine likes to eat custard apples, and every year when the season comes, a few post guards will be exhausted to death." At the post station just now, there happened to be a post guard who sent custard apples to Concubine Xian and died suddenly. ”

Hua Xiao frowned.

Li Qing continued: "It is precisely because of this incident that I suddenly remembered that when the county lord mentioned Gong Xiaochan yesterday, I didn't even know who Gong Xiaochan was, let alone that she was the sister of Concubine Xian. The county lord is right, I really don't have knowledge, as a prince and princess, I only know that there is a queen in the palace, how can this work? I think I should still have a general understanding so that I don't make jokes later. Also, I heard Yelan say that there are two concubines in the palace from Jiangnan Mansion, and I also want to ask the prince, which two concubines are these two concubines, and is there any connection with the case we want to investigate this time? Then again, you haven't told me about this case yet, Lord Wang. Otherwise, start with the emperor's harem and say it one by one, how? ”

Hua Xiao was a little uncomfortable when he heard Li Qing mention Sheng Shan'er saying that she didn't know, but after hearing it, he knew that this was another way for his princess to bring up the topic.

"Okay." He immediately said: "I was busy with a lot of things before, and I was going to tell you in the carriage. The first time you go out, you may not feel it at first, but after walking for two more days, you will find out how hard it is to go out, let you think about the case, and divert your attention.
