That letter...... I love what Angelica is pro-Qi......

The people who saw these seven words on the cover were Duan Xiaolou, He Angelica, Meng Xuan and Duan Xiaolou's subordinate Liu Yan, only these four people. And the one who said that he wanted to take out the letter to take a look at it was another subordinate Wang Hu.

Liu Yan knew He Angelica, and he also knew a little bit of Duan Xiaolou's thoughts, he saw Duan Xiaolou put the letter into his sleeve, obviously he didn't want to open it in public, and eighty percent was to protect He Angelica. Hearing Wang Hu suddenly make such an eyeless suggestion, Liu Yan hurriedly interrupted and said, "This is the murder site of the bloody crime, what are we doing investigating the case here?" And the general-" Liu Yan turned to Duan Xiaolou and frowned, "The villain has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Duan Xiaolou seemed to be smiling, looked at him carefully before bowing his head, and said, "You say, I have always loved Chana Yayan." ”

"Speaking of which, we are only witnesses to the case, and we have no obligation to take over and investigate this case," Liu Yan said, "The victim is the daughter of the Ning Wangfu, and the perpetrator is the Dongchang orc, which is really unusual. So in my opinion, it is better to transfer this case to Dali Temple and let them investigate it from the beginning. ”

The more Duan Xiaolou listened, the more amiable the smile on his face became, and he nodded again and again: "What Liu Yan said is very true, it is very much in line with my wishes." He looked at Zhu Quan and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, what do you mean?" ”

Zhu Quan looked hesitant, weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and did not respond to him immediately.

So Duan Xiaolou explained gently: "There are no outsiders here, I might as well give a break with His Highness, our Jinyiwei is not a person who is afraid of being tired, but at the moment there is a shortage of manpower, and several of us are investigating the case of Ma Tao in the capital, and they have come all the way to Luzhou, and they will return to Beijing in a few days." After returning to Beijing, the case will be entered into the treasury file of Jinyi Mansion, so maybe I will have to take it to the Holy Lord......" The voice paused, Duan Xiaolou admired Zhu Quan's face, and appreciated enough Fang Dao, "The Holy Lord has all the opportunities, and the dragon body is not safe, how can he bother him with such a case." This is the shallow opinion of the lower officials, I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

Zhu Quan immediately nodded and responded: "Don't investigate, transfer it to Dali Temple after returning to Beijing." The human resources of Jinyi Mansion are precious, these are small cases of human life, and people cannot be resurrected after death, so Xiao Wang is just sad for himself. The orcs in Dongchang are not controlled, and there are often cases of running around and accidentally injuring people, who really mentions it in front of his father and emperor as a big matter. ”

"The prince is really reasonable," Duan Xiaolou praised, "Duan has been fond of His Royal Highness for a long time, and in the past, he didn't have the opportunity to exchange cups at the same table. ”

Zhu Quan was sore all over, and when he saw Duan Xiaolou's smiling appearance, he felt that it was an eyesore, so he had to push it back, but turned around and whispered to Sima Mingyue, asking him to say that with Duan Xiaolou and Liao Zhiyuan, the matter of the assassination would be put aside for the time being, but the matter of the case would require them to take more care. Whether or not the results can be found is secondary, the key is not to lose the royal dignity, and St. Ann will also be disturbed. Sima Mingyue wrote them down one by one and went to talk to Duan Xiaolou, and Zhu Quan escaped with a small sedan chair with a purple curtain.

Duan Xiaolou had a very good conversation with Sima Mingyue, and the two hit it off at first sight, and they also made an appointment to run horses in the capital in May. In the end, Duan Xiaolou said with a smile: "The evidence in this case, the human head, the orc corpse, and the letters, are all ominous things, it is better to be sealed here, and our people will directly transfer them to Dali Temple, which is trouble-free and safe." If it is handed over to the county to do, and I don't know which year of the monkey and the month of the monkey will be delayed, the style in the yamen, you also know it, Brother Sima. Sima Mingyue said that it was very true, and General Lao bothered.

On the other side, the two of them were talking warmly; On this side, Meng Xuan took off her robe and wrapped it around He Angelica, rubbed her cheek with her fingers, her expression was gentle, but she unexpectedly clicked her sleeping hole.

He Angelica was shrouded in sleepiness, blinked his eyelids, and lay limply on Meng Xuan's chest. Meng Xuan picked up her with one arm and was so light that she didn't weigh much, he always felt that she was not very strong, and after a careful examination, he felt that he had lost a lot of weight from the last time he hugged her. If this continues, will she be like a soaphorn, consumed day after day, and finally melt into the water?

He was stirred by the thought, and a little heat overflowed in his eyes, hitting her lips. The salty taste made her frown in her light sleep, and muttered something vaguely, Meng Xuan listened carefully, she seemed to be saying, "Just do it...... Stranger ......"

At this time, Meng Xuan's book-buying escort came over, driving an eight-horse horse-drawn oil-walled extended carriage with beds inside. Meng Xuan glanced back at the peach hawthorn and gouache hairpin rings rolling at the bottom of the steps, asked for another paper bag, picked out a clean one, and made a list for people to purchase a few more daily necessities, planning to stay in Luzhou for two days, and wait for He Angelica to see the doctor take medicine and start again.

He chose to stop the ship in Luzhou because he heard that the last time the eldest brother, the ninth brother and the eleventh brother could be contacted, it was in the north of Luzhou, and then the three of them seemed to have evaporated from the world. But after arriving here, I heard the steward of the rudder of Qiyang Palace say that this must be a miscommunication, the three sons all interrupted the news when they bypassed Qingzhou, and if they wanted to find the time, they were afraid that they would have to go to Qingzhou.

Meng Xuan said after hearing this, Qingzhou? Wouldn't that be the same as his destination? That's right, doing things and finding people, set off the next day, first by water and then by land, and go straight to the border of Qingzhou!

As for whether to piggyback on He Angelica with him, he was quite hesitant. Because Qingzhou is deserted, the roads are also difficult, and she has to walk for a while on the mountain road that is impassable, how can he bear to ask her to suffer such hardships. But if the two of them were separated, he would be even more worried about her, especially after seeing and hearing a lot of things today, he realized that he may not even know her well, and the image she and his subjective portrayal are simply two people who have turned the world upside down.

Despite this, he still didn't want to leave her for a moment, just at this moment, carrying her into the oil-walled carriage, resting on the soft bed, touching her thin skeleton and slender wrists, he couldn't help but wonder if she couldn't live long, like a chick and a duckling, just a few months to live......

"Drive! Drive! The carriage proceeded slowly, a few blocks away, to the lower part.

Worn by this thought, he stared intently at her crystal clear cheeks, feeling that her biggest loss of life was that she was too worried. Doctor Yun Si hurt his spleen, and he was talking about a person with a temperament like her. For some reason, when he was with her, he often had the illusion that her experiences were more complex than his. Such a complicated and strange girl, as soon as he grabbed it, it stuck together, and as soon as he withdrew his hand, there was a tearing pain between his palms, as if he had torn his own flesh and skin.

But he really didn't like the complicated part of her temperament, although he liked new and strange things, but for those who wanted to be firmly in his hands, the better he knew.

Looking at the almost transparent nose on his little face fluttering slightly, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, he always felt like a kind of consumption of life, like a countdown to death like a drip, her countdown, also his.

Looking at her sleeping face like this along the way, he secretly made up his mind to do something that could completely "cleanse" and "assimilate" her. In this way, she will not be disturbed by idlers, so that she can nourish her spirits and energy, make her fat and strong, and live longer.

It's best for her, and one day, she'll be grateful to him......

※※※

Duan Xiaolou finished talking to Sima Mingyue for a long time, and turned his head to see Meng Xuan and the others didn't even say hello, so they left clean and empty. Duan Xiaolou didn't think it was angry, because in the gap just now, he had already instructed Liu Yan to keep an eye on Meng Xuan and them, and to follow them all the way to their bottom accurately.

After a while, Liu Yan came to report the letter, Duan Xiaolou ordered some aftermath matters, and he was going to see He Angelica immediately, but thinking that she was frightened a lot today, and she was also injured, Meng Xuan took her away to heal, and she must be quiet and not disturbed. In this case, it is not appropriate for him to go today, and he wanders the streets twice and goes to deal with official business.

At noon on the second day, Duan Xiaolou went to the door to visit. Meng Xuan's place where they live is not big, it is a house with three entrances and three exits, but the place is rare and clean, the front door is the last one at the end of the street, and the walls of the neighboring houses are ten zhang wide, and the back door is a stuffy alley. The exterior wall of the house is planted with flowers and trees, there are climbing plants, and vines wrap around the wall, making the yard shady and sassy, green and lovely.

Duan Xiaolou knocked on the door, a strong man dressed as a subordinate came to open the door, and an old woman dressed more decently led him to the hall, and a pretty girl dressed in pink came up with tea, and also rubbed a set of Lu'an tea art on the spot, pouring Lu'an melon slices. Duan Xiaolou ate a small half, the color is good, but it is not as fragrant as the tea served by someone.

After eating the two teas, and still didn't see He Angelica come out, Duan Xiaolou asked the maid, and she continued to pour tea for him. Plates of pastries were brought to the table, and the maid made another Pu'er with refreshments, smiled sweetly, and persuaded Duan Xiaolou to try the freshly baked dim sum. He barely ate some, took out his Western pocket watch and looked at it, and it was more than an hour past. He was displeased: "What about the master of the house? If you are not there, see it or not, you should always give a clear word. ”

The maid couldn't, so she had to tell the truth, saying: "Don't dare to deceive the distinguished guests, my master has been carrying his wife into the room since yesterday, and has not come out, and asked for food and hot water a few times, and then strictly ordered us not to disturb, otherwise we will not stay here for long." Therefore, when you come, we dare not go back, so we have to see when the master comes out. Why don't you order a few of your favorite dishes first, and the chef will make you a drink, and then rest here for the night and wait for tomorrow? ”

Duan Xiaolou's two sword eyebrows were twisted together, feeling that Meng Xuan was deliberately playing with him, and suddenly said coldly: "Since he is not a guest, you will make it clear at the beginning that it will be over soon, and it will be in vain to delay my work." As he spoke, he got up and brushed his sleeves to leave.

The maid hurriedly took a look at the column and said with a smile: "The guest doesn't know, the master is waiting for you, and Tete instructed that if the guest comes over during his retreat, we must keep the guest." ”

Duan Xiaolou snorted and asked, "If he doesn't see a guest, I'm leaving, can you lock me up!" ”

There was no politeness in his words, and he frightened the pretty girl all of a sudden. I saw that she was stunned for a moment, then wiped her tears, and said innocently: "The maid is just doing things according to the master's orders, why are the guests so angry?" Just because the master jokingly said, if you can keep the guest for one night, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver to tailor the clothes, I, I, woo woo......" said she hid her face and cried, tears wet the top of the peach diamond satin, the situation was very moving.

Duan Xiaolou's anger was not directed at her, and when he saw her crying like this, he didn't have any reason to continue to blame her, and he didn't really want to leave. How can he go, if he doesn't see He Angelica? Meng Xuan came to whip him, but he didn't move the place.

Guessing that it might be why Meng Xuan took a lot of time to heal Angelica, so he couldn't meet now, so Duan Xiaolou sighed and said, "Okay, let the cook cook two appetizers, and I'll stay here for one night." ”
