Chapter 42: Sick to the New Year's Banquet

Lin Qi blinked his eyes, opened his mouth to release the spoon, and turned his face away with embarrassment, and after a long time, he said solemnly, "Today's incident was done by Yun Shangshu. ”

I wanted to discuss it with Xiao Chengyue, but she always felt that Yun Shangshu was full of suspicions, maybe the "flower thief" case was closely related to Yun Shangshu.

Who knows, Xiao Chengyue half-squinted, put down the medicine bowl with one hand, turned around and stood up, and said in a deep voice, "So, do you want this king to be angry for you?" ”

"It's not difficult to do, come on, go to Yunfu, and hang up Yun Yizhang, an old horseman, and beat him!"

"Remember, cover your head and do it again."

The person who dared to bully him, if it weren't for the fact that this person still has use value, he would have been stabbed on him a long time ago.

Xiao Chengyue unconsciously stood beside Lin Qi, and watched her in danger several times, almost giving up half of his life every time, Xiao Chengyue really couldn't bear it. He wanted to be her support, and no matter what danger he encountered, he wanted her to remember that he was still there.

"Really fighting?"

Lin Qi watched a group of people in black come in, and went out again, the speed was staggering, and before she could explain, those people were gone, and Xiao Chengyue had a cold attitude, and he didn't even blink his eyes when he talked about beating people.

"Hmm."

“……”

Lin Qi took the medicine and lay down again, Ugly Ugly woke up before her, Xiao Chengyue asked Kong Lingfeng to send Ugly Ugly back to the house to deal with it first, wait for Lin Qi to rest for one night, relieve his spirits, and then go home.

"Lord Wang, let's go rest first, I'm fine."

After Lin Qi lay down, he waited for a long time, but saw that Xiao Chengyue had been guarding beside him, and he had no intention of leaving, so he persuaded him.

"This is the king's room, where do you let the king rest?"

In a plain sentence, Lin Qi's face was warm again, there was a faint ambergris on the bedding, and between his breaths, it was full of Xiao Chengyue's taste.

"Then I'll go to the guest room, and the room will be left to the prince."

"The room is full."

She was so surprised that she rolled over and got up, "How is it possible, the Three Kings' Mansion is so big and lives with so many people?" ”

"The king's palace, this king says it is full, it is full. Rest in peace, I'll be here to watch over you. Xiao Chengyue looked at her steadily, there was no smile on his face, but the affection between his eyes was overflowing.

Lin Qi was stunned, nodded lightly, and lay down again, "Whatever you want." ”

However, in his heart, it was like holding his breath and there was nowhere to emanate, he regarded himself as Luo Baisu.

Lin Qi knew that Xiao Chengyue came to the rescue several times, not because of the cooperative relationship between them, with Xiao Chengyue's intelligence and strength, he could win without her alone, and he did this just to protect her, because he had a face exactly the same as Luo Baisu.

Although Xiao Chengyue's face was cold, often disgusted, and occasionally angry at Luo Baisu's marriage contract with King Ning, Lin Qi had to admit that he treated himself very well, or rather, treated Luo Baisu very well.

They are like the same kind of people, who will not compromise the means for their own purposes, but only they know best in their hearts that behind the purpose that they want to achieve without breaking the means, it is never for themselves, but for the people of the world.

This also poked at her weakness.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi felt a sadness in her heart, the person in front of her was the person she wanted to kill countless times and then take revenge quickly, and now, Lin Qi knew that she couldn't do it anymore......

Because of the Yun family flower theft case, the rumors of Lin Qi and Xiao Chengyue were gradually covered up, and for many days, the voices of discussion in Beijing came and went.

To Lin Qi's surprise, she clearly exposed in public that day, the flower inserted on the top of Mrs. Yun's head was not a white bell, but within two days, Dali Temple came to a conclusion, claiming that the white bell flower appeared, and the flower thief re-committed the crime, and asked the joint criminal department to jointly investigate the case.

Jingzhong was shocked!

Lin Qi is not a fool, a discerning person can know at a glance that there must be something greasy in this!

But calm down and think about it carefully, the huge Yun Mansion, Yun Yizhang is the head of the household department of the dynasty, and now with the addition of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, an old case more than ten years ago, once pulled out, involves a wide range of things, and it is not at all something that ordinary people can control.

Behind this case, there are really many invisible secrets, corrupt officials and thieves, flower thieves are not terrible, I am afraid that the secret heart of this court has already been in trouble, but it has not been discovered yet.

Since that day, I heard that Yunfu hastily held a funeral, and the door of the mansion was closed, and there were no guests outside, and Lin Qi had no way to investigate, so he could only put the matter on hold temporarily.

In the blink of an eye, the year has arrived, and the medicinal materials on Xiao Chengyue's mansion have been assembled, and when King Ning goes to the north of the border, he can take the opportunity to make a move.

……

On this day, the weather was clear, after a night of wind and snow, as soon as the warm sun came out, a few plum trees in the garden that had never bloomed also unfolded buds.

Because it is the New Year's Festival, the red silk brocade everywhere, the red lanterns are hung high, on the rockery, in the garden, all in response to the old lady's request, all put on new clothes, and the whole Luofu suddenly fell into a joyful color.

"Miss, you see, this year's old lady's New Year's gift is twice as much as in previous years." Chou Chou just went to the old lady's yard to receive a New Year's gift and came back, a whole half of a box.

In Tianyu, during the Chinese New Year, the elders in the house will give New Year's gifts to the younger generations, similar to the modern New Year's money.

Although it is not a rare thing, looking at the quantity, it is more than Luo Qingwan and them, which is enough to see that the old lady's thoughts about Lin Qi are very different from before.

"Go and ask Miss Four, but what is missing, if it is not enough, divide half of the New Year's gift, if it is enough, send it to the handyman in the kitchen in turn."

"Huh? Miss...... This, this is the old lady's reward for you. ”

"Go ahead."

Lin Qi sat by the stove, holding a medical book and reading quietly, the old lady's thoughts, others couldn't see it, but they couldn't hide it from her.

In public, she leaned to her side, it seemed that she was in response to Miss Yan's position, but in fact, with Luo Qingwan and the Jiang family's temperament, where would Lin Qi take advantage.

In this way, it is just that in the coming year, they have found an excuse for the Jiang family to pay more monthly money, and when the time comes, they can say that they should receive more New Year's gifts and pay more than a part.

Lin Qi will not be stupid enough to take money outside, the big deal is that she doesn't want all these small favors, and it is better to divide them than to feed the dogs.

Near the time of the dinner, Lin Qi came out of his yard, tonight is a reunion night, no matter what the relationship is on weekdays, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner still has to be eaten together as a family.

As soon as Lin Qi walked to the door of the front yard, he saw Luo Fei Lan supporting Qu Shi and walking over from the other side. ”

"I took the third sister's New Year's gift today, and I haven't thanked the third sister yet, my mother personally made a mille-feuille cake, I want to wait for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, please ask the third sister to come over and taste it, okay?"

Lin Qi looked up at Qu's family, he hadn't seen him for many days, Qu's had lost a lot of weight, thinking that it was because he went back to be sad for a long time after confessing the truth to Lin Qi that day.

Today's Qu was dressed in a turquoise wide-sleeved shirt, still with a gentle attitude, and when he saw Lin Qi, he curtsied and saluted, and reached out to hold Lin Qi's hand.

She smiled, "Yes, Su'er, you are just right, and you don't often go out and walk around on weekdays, today with the New Year's luck, go to your aunt's yard to sit, you can't celebrate the New Year, and stay alone." ”

Lin Qi saw that she was sincere and couldn't shirk, so she nodded and responded, "In this way, I will bother my aunt and fourth sister." ”

"Where the third sister is, it's all a family."

"yes, it's all family." Qu added.

Subsequently, Lin Qi followed a few people into the front hall and gave New Year's greetings to the old lady and Luo Ting'an in turn.

Who knows, as soon as everyone finished the New Year's ceremony, a guard came to report outside the door, saying that the emperor's father-in-law Yi was here, saying that the emperor had a sudden head disease, and asked Miss Luo San to enter the palace immediately to see the emperor.

When Luo Ting'an heard this, he seemed to realize something, and his face changed suddenly, "Did my father-in-law make a mistake?" Su'er is just a deep boudoir woman, where will she see any diagnosis, besides, there is a royal doctor in the palace, and it is unlucky to go out for the New Year, can you invite your father-in-law to make it convenient? ”

"yes, it's already dark, can you wait until tomorrow to go again?" The old lady also came forward to persuade her.

Not to mention anything else, Luo Baisu is a person from Luofu, she can not protect Luo Baisu, but the reputation of Luofu is still needed.

Saying that, Luo Ting'an beckoned behind him, and the little guy understood, and immediately stepped forward and handed over a bag of silver taels, looking at the weight, there were a hundred taels to say the least.

"The Prime Minister laughed, Miss Luosan's ability, our family has also seen it with our own eyes, this time it is not our family in a dilemma, it is the emperor himself who ordered to see it, if you can't bring people back, our family will not be good to deal with when you go back, and the emperor's illness can't wait, so please ask the third lady to pack up and go with our family."

Yi's father-in-law pushed forward and made it clear that he didn't want money, as long as people!

"But ......"

"Father, since the emperor summoned me, how can I not see it, I will go back as soon as I go, and my father and grandmother should not read it."

Since the last time he saw the emperor, Lin Qi has always felt that he should find an opportunity to enter the palace again, one is to really review the emperor's condition, and the other is to explore the emperor's tone for Xiao Chengyue by the way.

Lin Qi stood up from his seat, "Father-in-law, wait a minute, I'll go get the medicine box and come." ”

By taking the medicine box, Lin Qi returned to the courtyard, and the lotus stone did not respond today, thinking that there was no catastrophe.

"Miss, Ugly Ugly will go with you."

Lin Ji took the medicine box and was about to go out, and when he came to the door, he saw the ugly ugly looking at her with an aggrieved face, and immediately felt a little unbearable.

"The emperor summoned you, unlike Xunri, I can't take you there today, you go to Aunt Qu after the New Year's dinner, don't guard the house alone, I will come back and go directly to my aunt's yard to find you, remember?"

"Remembered." The ugly nodded obediently.

She knew that Lin Qi must have something important to do, and her relatives were like ugly and ugly, how could she not see the changes in Lin Qi after following Luo Baisu for so many years, she just pretended to be confused, hoping that the young lady in front of her would not leave her like before.

Because of the New Year's Festival, the streets of Lin'an were full of people, and the carriage drove slowly, and after about two quarters of an hour, it stopped in front of the palace gate, and then sat on the sedan chair prepared by Father-in-law Yi in advance, and went directly to the Taihe Palace where the emperor lived.

When Lin Qi went, many people knelt in front of the palace gate, including the imperial courtiers, the palace concubines, the princes and princes, and the more familiar King Ning, who also bent their knees aside, but Xiao Chengyue was the only one who did not see him.

Tonight was originally Chinese New Year's Eve, it was the night of reunion, but the emperor was suddenly seriously ill, it is not strange that such people gathered in front of the door, but Xiao Chengyue is also the eldest son of the emperor, didn't he come to the New Year banquet tonight?

"Your Majesty, Miss Luo San has arrived." Between contemplation, Gonggong Yi shouted sharply, and Lin Qi immediately felt that dozens of eyes were looking at him behind him.

"Let her in."

Cangmai's voice came, the palace door opened suddenly, Lin Qi carried the medicine box on her back, walked in quickly, the more she went forward, the weaker the discussion behind her, until the door was closed, she secretly let go of her breath.
