"Second Miss, what the hell is going on?"

Returning to the gate of Qingqiu Pavilion, seeing Shangguan Qingyue cautiously looking around for a while before gently pushing open the door like a thief, Hong Si couldn't help crying and laughing.

"Shhh......h ”

Just now, this is the picture that appeared in her mind. It's just that because of the darkness, the figure inside didn't really look at it.

"What?" Hong Si was also taken aback, "Then let's quickly call the guards in the house to catch the thief!" ”

"Don't, what if you scare people away?" Shangguan Qingyue immediately stopped Hong Si, and at the same time made an OK gesture, "With Miss here, I will definitely be able to take it down, don't worry!" ”

"Second Miss ......"

Seeing Shangguan Qingyue gently moving under the windowsill of the room, Hong Si was not at ease after all, so she also followed behind her.

Hey, the door has been opened? Shangguan Qingyue listened carefully to the outside of the door, but in the room, there was not even a little movement?

If it's a thief, isn't it supposed to be rummaging around?

After waiting for a while, Shangguan Qingyue finally grasped the Youhua fan, quietly pushed open the door, and stepped into the room with great care.

walked a few steps slowly, and only after Shangguan Qingyue gradually adapted to the darkness around her did she see that there was really a figure sitting at the tea table with her back to her!

Who?! Because there is still some distance, Shangguan Qingyue can't see the face of the person who came clearly, only an outline.

Is this thief tired and resting?

Shangguan Qingyue tugged at the corners of his mouth, continued to approach quietly, and raised the Youhua fan, learning the posture of the enemy in the courtyard of the suburbs last time, and sneaked up on the man's back.

"Drink!"

After a shout, I thought that the Youhua Fan would transform into the little short sword that was black and not slippery and then show its "divine might" again, but I didn't expect that there was no reaction this time?

No way? At a critical moment, it crashes again?

said that it was too late, and the person on the other side quickly dodged sideways before the Youhua fan touched his back, and grabbed Shangguan Qingyue's wrist with his backhand, and pulled her over in an instant.

Shangguan Qingyue was caught off guard, and his feet were unstable, and as a result, he fell gorgeously in his arms!

"Drink...... Drink your head to drink. ”

A cold voice came from above his head, which made Shangguan Qingyue completely stunned, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

Belch? The voice...... How is it so familiar?

“…… Lord Jing? ”

"Hmm."

God, what is this guy smoking? Come in the middle of the night, can't you be upright? Sitting here motionless like this, she almost cut him off for a thief.

It turns out that her one-minute prediction ability can sometimes be a pitfall.

When a faint mint fragrance penetrated Shangguan Qingyue's nostrils, she suddenly reacted and realized that she was still sitting on his lap with a slightly ambiguous posture.

Hurriedly jumped out of his slightly warm embrace like an electric shock, and Shangguan Qingyue's old face turned red involuntarily.

Alas, she is also a human being in the new century, don't be so unproductive and uninformed, okay?

While Shangguan Qingyue secretly scolded herself, she immediately grabbed the fire fold on the table and lit the candle, and sure enough, Qu Jinglan's handsome face that had not changed color for thousands of years came into view.

In fact, not only Shangguan Qingyue, but even Hong Si, who followed closely, was almost shocked to drop the wooden stick in his hand.

"Slave...... The slave maid went to change the pot of new tea for the prince. With that, Hongsi quickly took the teapot down and closed the door very thoughtfully.

"You're drinking again?"

Qu Jinglan frowned slightly, and his tone seemed to be displeased.

"Ah, it's just a drink with my grandfather." Shangguan Qingyue simply sat opposite him and looked him up and down a few times.

Qu Jinglan under the candlelight, his appearance is more light and handsome, with a pair of thick sword eyebrows, his eyes are like the moon, and sometimes he is like a cold star. The side face is generally sharp and angular, but it is not handsome, half of the long black hair is pulled up, and the rest is poured down, other men are so decorated, it is inevitable that there is a bit of madness, but he is so elegant that there is no half scattered.

No wonder Wei Xueyao is so obsessed with him, it is not unreasonable.

"Ahem, I don't know why the prince came to the cold house late at night?"

Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, Qu Jinglan came to her quietly so late, there must be something.

"Take me somewhere."

Qu Jinglan has always spoken concisely and to the point, and immediately got up and grabbed Shangguan Qingyue's arm and walked out of the door.

"Hey, Lord Jing, where are you going to take me?" Shangguan Qingyue asked inexplicably.

Qu Jinglan didn't pay attention to it, but reached out and grabbed the collar at the back of her neck, and with a jump, the two of them rose into the air in an instant.

"Lord Jing, you are like this...... It's going to strangle me. "Damn, again? Last time, the old man Tiancheng also caught her like this and flew away, what's wrong?

Hearing this, the corners of Qu Jinglan's lips inadvertently rose a little angle, and then changed hands and hugged her waist instead.

"Lord Jing...... Can you slow down, or I'm going to throw up again......"

“......”

A quarter of an hour later, Qu Jinglan took Shangguan Qingyue, who was almost about to vomit, and finally slowly landed in a certain forest that was not too big. At night, the woods are filled with a faint light mist, and even the whole forest seems soft and ethereal. The bright moonlight leaked through the shade of the trees, and it seemed to be like a broken jade scattered all over the ground, flickering a little bit.

"Here?" Shangguan Qingyue stood firm and looked around. Heavens, not far ahead, stood in the open space, and there was a grave! The white flags on the grave are still swaying under the night breeze, and it is quite terrifying to look at the past.

"......" in the middle of the night, what is Qu Jinglan going to do?

"Let's go over." Qu Jinglan motioned for her to look at the tomb in front of her......

"Sun Zhengyuan's tomb?"

Shangguan Qingyue walked up to the front and squatted down, muttering the name on the tombstone in front of him, who is Sun Zhengyuan?

"The former head of the Mint Division." Qu Jinglan stood behind Shangguan Qingyue and opened his mouth to explain to her, "Before Elder Wei Ge took over the Minting Division, this person was responsible for all the affairs of the Minting Division. ”

So it turns out, this person is the leader of the previous Mint Division, but everyone is dead, Qu Jinglan brought her here, it must not be so simple.

"Does Lord Jing suspect that Sun Zhengyuan died?" So, he is also a person related to the counterfeit copper coin case?

"It's not like a strange death." Hearing this, Qu Jinglan showed a hint of approval on his face, "Seven days ago, the person died suddenly, not sooner or later, it was the time when the old Wei Pavilion was grounded, but this king thinks that there is no one in this tomb at all." ”

"This is a well-dressed mound?" Shangguan Qingyue turned her head to look at him in surprise, "Then why does the prince think there is a problem with the tomb?" ”

"Guess."

"......" is this Jing Wang Ye reliable?

"Although this is a blessed land, it is not good, if it were you, would you throw yourself into such a remote place and bury yourself hastily?"

Also. After being reminded by Qu Jinglan, Shangguan Qingyue nodded secretly. Sun Zhengyuan used to be an official, not to mention that the ancients have always paid attention to feng shui, this tomb looks a little imposing on the outside, but it looks simple everywhere under a closer look. Unless it is prepared in a hurry, the ancients, who focused on the dead, would not be so perfunctory.

The truth is just as Qu Jinglan said, but in Shangguan Qingyue's ears, the more he listens to it, the more awkward he feels.

"Alright, let's get ready."

Qu Jinglan said, then turned around and walked to the tree not far away, and after taking out two handfuls of guys as if by magic, he returned to Shangguan Qingyue's side and stuffed one of them to her.

"Shovel?" What for? Is it the rhythm of digging people's graves? Shangguan Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth to confirm as if he understood something, "What, I said Lord Jing, you brought me tonight, not just for ......"

"Dig a grave."

Qu Jinglan only interrupted her lightly, and then began to dig up the dirt around the grave with a shovel.

Really! Shangguan Qingyue glanced at the shovel in his hand, and the corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably a few times. This guy, digging graves and digging graves, but the third watch deliberately called her to come crazy in the middle of the night, and the atmosphere was not right.

"Ahem, since Lord Jing wants to dig the grave, why didn't he find a few more people before, and dig it when the sky is still a little brighter?" Right now, although there is scattered moonlight, it is dark all around.

"Hmm." Hearing Shangguan Qingyue's words, Qu Jinglan stopped what he was doing, and thought about it slightly, "This is reasonable, but it is not good to dig people's graves in the blue sky and day long." ”

...... "Is it good to be at night!?"

This Qu Jinglan is not only cold-faced, but also black-bellied!

"What are you doing in a daze, you don't want to make money?"

Uh, what, there's silver to be earned? Shangguan Qingyue's eyes suddenly lit up, "Heh, why didn't the prince say it earlier?" ”

There is no way, the one hundred taels he gave before had to stay to buy wine for her grandfather, and she never broke her word, so now she is penniless again.

Qu Jinglan saw that she immediately rolled up her sleeves, and then picked up the shovel and started to dry, and smiled unconsciously.

"Knock ......"

When Shangguan Qingyue's shovel touched the top of the wooden coffin, there was a slight sound. After digging for a while, a dark red coffin appeared in front of me.

Shangguan Qingyue motioned for Qu Jinglan to jump down into the dug pit together, and dusted off the sand that fell on the surface of the coffin with both hands.

"Lord Wang, how should this coffin be opened?" Except for the two shovels, Shangguan Qingyue didn't see Qu Jinglan take out any more tools. First of all, it is not so easy to remove the eight spikes around the coffin.

"Get out of the way." After saying that, Qu Jinglan gradually concentrated his energy and put his hand on the spike. After a while, just listening to the sound of "dang", the nail was properly pulled out and fell into the palm of his hand!

It's amazing! Shangguan Qingyue raised her eyebrows, revealing her admiration.

If so, after Qu Jinglan removed all the other seven nails one by one, he slowly pushed open the lid of the coffin with the joint efforts of the two......

A puff of dust flew away because the lid of the coffin was opened, and when the dust almost settled, Shangguan Qingyue and Qu Jinglan hurriedly grabbed the edge and looked inward.
