Qin Tong really died.

A chill flooded Lin Yueru's heart.

Han Yanqing saw that she was in a bad mood, so he hurriedly poured her a cup of hot water and pulled her to sit down.

"I know that Qin Tong's death is a blow to everyone, but don't be too anxious, isn't this what we expected?"

Lin Yueru nodded, "I understand." ”

For the people behind Qin Tong, he was just a chess piece.

Now that the matter has been revealed, Qin Tong has long lost his use value, and it is already a great mercy to keep him until now.

But now that Qin Tong has once again revealed his flaws, attracting the prince's investigation, how could that person let him stay and increase the risk for himself.

She had already guessed this ending, but when it was suddenly confirmed, she was still inevitably disappointed.

After all, Qin Tong is the biggest and most direct clue to the affairs in the west of the city.

He's dead, so how can we continue to investigate this matter?

The two were a little silent for a while.

After a pause, Lin Yueru said: "As soon as Qin Tong died, now there is only one line left to connect with him." ”

Han Yanqing nodded, "Yes." ”

She looked up, "Let me look it up." ”

Han Yanqing frowned slightly, looking reluctant.

Lin Yueru insisted: "Only I have fought with him, and I have seen his true face, only I can find him." ”

"You can't go."

Han Yanqing glanced at the wound on her body that had just healed, obviously disapproving.

Lin Yueru held his hand, "But we don't have any other way now, do we?" ”

"And that man also saw my appearance, now it's either him dead or I'm dead, we should hurry up and find him out, shouldn't we?"

Han Yanqing was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of Lin Yueru's words.

After a while, he finally relented: "It's okay for you to get involved." ”

"But you have to stay with me all the time, you have to keep yourself safe."

Lin Yueru nodded again and again, "No problem!" ”

Early the next morning, Han Yanqing went to find the prince.

At first, when I told the prince that Lin Yueru wanted to participate, the prince was still a little surprised.

"She even offered to get involved? But once she is exposed, it is equivalent to putting herself in danger, and you explain the stakes to her? ”

Han Yanqing nodded, "She knows everything." ”

The prince admired, "It's really rare to have courage." ”

Since Lin Yueru herself is willing, then the prince naturally has nothing to say.

At that moment, he asked Han Yanqing to take the painter back to the courtyard, and according to Lin Yueru's description, he drew a simple portrait of the person's appearance.

The painter quickly drew it, and revised it several times according to Lin Yueru's opinions, and then finally finalized it.

In fact, Lin Yueru felt that the modified appearance was not very similar.

But this is already the highest level of the painter, and she is not easy to embarrass others.

I can only comfort myself that something is better than nothing.

After the portraits were distributed, the people below also worked more actively to find people.

Lin Yueru also set off with Han Yanqing and Ruhan in the afternoon of the same day.

For safety reasons, four other masters are following them to protect them.

They first followed Lin Yueru's idea and returned to the alley that day to find clues.

Lin Yueru said: "At that time, the two of us were each hit by each other's poisonous needles, and he fled over there. ”

The crowd looked in the direction she was pointing.

"If he was poisoned, he would have gone to Lang Zhong first, have you checked the pharmacy during this time?"

Ruhan nodded, "I checked." When I was looking for Qin Tong at that time, I had already checked all the pharmacies, and I had also checked the large and small Langzhong, and those Langzhong should not dare to hide people. ”

Lin Yueru frowned, that would be strange.

"My poison needle is not an easy poison to solve, if he doesn't find Langzhong, he can't carry it."

But now, there is no one alive or dead, and no corpse is seen.

Ruhan also felt strange when he heard this, and immediately ordered: "Go and thoroughly investigate the major pharmacies and Langzhong again, and you must not let go of any possibility." ”

The man answered and immediately went to do it.

Lin Yueru and the others followed the direction of the last escape of the man in black that day, and walked all the way, analyzing the direction he might go.

Everywhere they went, they would have people search the nearby hiding places thoroughly.

Even the cellars and thatched houses in every house were not spared.

But nothing was found.

After searching like this for most of the day, everyone walked all the way to a mansion.

Lin Yueru looked at the tall mansion in front of her, "This is?" ”

Ruhan explained: "It's Yang Zhizhou's mansion, and Yang Zhizhou is still the brother of our princess. ”

Lin Yueru frowned.

Han Yanqing asked, "Have you searched here?" ”

Ruhan was embarrassed: "Here...... It's hard to search, right? After all, it is Lord Yang's mansion, and I am afraid it is not good to reach the ears of the princess? ”

Lin Yueru and Han Yanqing didn't speak, they just looked at him fixedly.

I'm embarrassed to look at Ruhan!

It doesn't matter if the two of them come from out of town, anyway, they won't let them go in and search for them.

But he's different!

He still has to mix under the hands of the prince! I still have to deal with the princess every day!

Lin Yueru instigated him: "Ruhan, don't you want to find out who has been harming her for the side concubine?" ”

Han Yanqing echoed: "In short, you were ordered by the prince to thoroughly investigate Danyang, if you go in and check if not, then everyone is happy, if there is, then you are a great achievement, what are you afraid of?" ”

I was so frightened that I couldn't wait to quickly cover the mouths of these two people.

"My fourth master! Can you say a few words, if Lord Yang knows that I suspect him, the princess will not have to peel off my skin? ”

The two of them still didn't let go, as if they had made up their minds to go into this Yang Mansion to check.

Ruhan had no choice but to persuade:

"We've also checked all around us, and we haven't seen this Yang Mansion yet. Let's just go back first, and I just happened to ask the prince for instructions, if he allows us to check again, okay? ”

"That'll do fine."

Lin Yueru didn't mean to embarrass him, but there was only one Yang Mansion left in the vicinity that hadn't been checked.

The group returned to the palace in a mighty way.

As soon as the two of them returned to the small courtyard and entered the house, Lin Yueru said: "When I was in front of the Yang Mansion, I still didn't say a word. ”

"What?"

Lin Yueru exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly: "When I pulled off the veil of the man in black that day, I thought he was a little familiar, but I really couldn't remember where I saw it at that time. ”

"Today in front of the Yang Mansion, I suddenly remembered when Ruhan mentioned the princess. Speaking of which, the man in black seems to have some resemblance to the princess......"

As soon as these words came out, Han Yanqing was also taken aback.

He settled, "Really? ”

Lin Yueru nodded slowly.

For a while, both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts.

If the man in black that day was really Lord Yang, things would have been too tricky.

After being silent for a while, Han Yanqing comforted: "It's okay, Ruhan has already gone to find the prince, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”

Lin Yueru also nodded.

The two sat in the house for a while, and when it was almost time for dinner, they got up and went to Mrs. Han's house.

Boss Han's family has passed, and the whole family is sitting together talking.

Seeing them coming, Zhao Shuangtao smiled and beckoned them to come over and sit.

Lin Yueru also put aside those worries for the time being, and laughed with Zhao Shuangtao and the others.

The house was lively for a long time, and the voices of Mama Zhu and others finally came from outside.

As soon as she entered the house, Mama Zhu smiled and made amends:

"Old lady, there is something delayed in the small kitchen today, and I missed the usual meal! You're not waiting, are you? ”

Mrs. Han smiled: "It's okay, I just don't feel hungry, it's good for our family to talk together." ”

Mama Zhu smiled at Mrs. Han gratefully, "That's good, that's good!" ”

At that moment, a few little maids helped bring a few dishes to the table.

One of the exquisite-looking soups was specially placed in front of Lin Yueru.

Mama Zhu smiled:

"Miss Yueru, the people in the small kitchen said that this is a tonic soup specially made for you by the side concubine, which is good for your health!"

Mrs. Han was naturally happy when she heard this, "If you reply to you, I'll say thank you for my mother's memory!" ”

Lin Yueru also smiled and thanked her.

After the dishes were served, everyone sat down around the table.

Han Yanqing took a bowl and helped her fill a bowl of soup.

Lin Yueru took it and talked to him with a smile, while leaning over to the bowl and taking a sip.

As soon as a mouthful of soup entered her mouth, before she could taste it, she spit it out violently!

"Gross! Phew......"

After spitting it out, she was afraid that there would be residual soup in her mouth, so she quickly poured a glass of water and went outside the door to rinse her mouth non-stop.

The sudden surprise startled everyone in the Han family.

"Yueru, what's wrong? Is the soup unappetizing? Liu Qiumei worried.

Zhao Shuangtao simply took a spoonful of soup, "Isn't this soup not tasting right?" I'll taste ......"

"Third sister-in-law, no!"

Han Yanqing hurriedly stopped it, grabbed the bowl and put it aside.

Others may not have reacted yet, but Mrs. Han has already seen some clues.

"Fourth...... This soup? ”
