The three of them entered the house. Ye Youlan asked Li Yi and Li Zhi to go to Qingyue Temple again after dark and go to the room where Yilan lived before her death to check carefully to see what Song Wen was looking for.

Xiaomei was surprised and reminded: "Princess, are you going in the wrong direction?"

Ye Youlan glanced at Xiaomei: "Song Wen and Feng Xiaoyu must have wanted to find something in that room, but they heard some noise outside, so they performed a pornographic scene for you to watch. Do you understand?"

Xiaomei blushed, not quite understanding what was going on. The Seventh Prince immediately realized what was going on. He turned around and glared at Li Yi and Li Zhi. The two of them lowered their heads in shame, looking very unnatural.

It was getting dark, Li Yi and Li Zhi went to Qingyue Temple again, while Xiaomei and Qiao Ling went to the side rooms to rest.

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince were waiting for the results of their investigation.

"Your Highness, we have to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion tomorrow. Does Yilan have some secrets that we don't know about? If it's just the Queen Mother's secret, Song Wen probably won't look for it. The Queen Mother is no longer useful."

The Seventh Prince sat on a chair, turning the ring on his right thumb with his left hand, his eyes gloomy.

He recalled that the reason for his return to the capital this time was not only to fulfill the emperor's request to come back every three years, but also because he heard that the current emperor had health problems.

But he had been to the palace several times and saw that the emperor looked very healthy, not sick at all. So who was spreading this rumor? It was so surprising that it was hidden from his intelligence department.

The Sixth Prince who escaped from Xiangguo Temple, the Emperor's eldest prince who came prepared and was eyeing him covetously, and the forces behind several princes who are growing up?

Seeing the Seventh Prince's frown, Ye Youlan felt a little worried and came over to pat his shoulder: "Why don't we go back to Gucheng!"

"it is good."

The two said this, but they knew in their hearts that they would not leave without a mystery.

The Seventh Prince asked Ye Youlan to go to sleep first, and he would wait alone.

"Let's sleep together. We don't know when they will be back."

The Seventh Prince whispered, "I'll go take a look around the Sixth Brother's room. This temple is full of spies, so I have to be extra careful."

After the Seventh Prince left, Dingxiang came in and the prince asked her to come in and accompany the princess.

The next day, Li Yi and Li Zhi came back and said that they had searched the room again and found nothing. However, there was a secret compartment on the floor under the bed, which was empty. If there was anything, it should have been taken away by Song Wen.

The Seventh Prince had a gloomy face, while Li Yi and Li Zhi stood beside him with gloomy expressions.

Xiaomei and Qiao Ling were too nervous to speak.

Ye Youlan said to the Seventh Prince, "Let's go back home!"

Feng Xiaoyu was so angry when she returned to the Song Mansion that she fell ill. Song Wen said a lot of nice things to comfort her, and she finally came to her senses. She asked Song Wen to tell her the truth: what was he looking for in that shabby house? Why didn't he show her the box?

Song Wen threatened her, "That's an evil thing Li Zong's mother placed in Qingyue Temple. Every night I dream of Li Zong. He shows me the way and tells me to take it back and bury it in front of his grave. Only then can he let go of the past and be reincarnated."

Feng Xiaoyu didn't believe it: "Do you think I'm stupid? If it's that thing, it's not worth us putting on a show in front of Qiao Ling. It's so embarrassing. Who knows what they will say about me behind my back?"

Song Wen came over and hugged her in his arms: "What are you afraid of? We are husband and wife. They will only envy the excitement we have."

Feng Xiaoyu blushed, and Song Wen whispered in her ear: "We were just pretending in front of them this morning, now we're going to do it for real."

That night, Song Wen was particularly gentle to Feng Xiaoyu, and Feng Xiaoyu was so moved that she stopped asking about the matter.

In the middle of the night, when Feng Xiaoyu fell asleep, Song Wen got up and went to the study, where he took out the box from the secret cabinet. It was a mahogany box, palm-sized, exquisitely crafted, and had a combination lock on it.

Song Wen tried every day he could think of, but the box still didn't open. He wanted to smash it open with a hammer, but was afraid of destroying the things inside.

He put the box back to its place, yawned, and left the study, reminding Agui to guard the study well and not let anyone in.

Ah Gui opened his sleepy eyes and asked, "Master, when will that little Bao come back?"

When mentioning Xiao Bao, Song Wen gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention that idiot. It's annoying."

He doesn't want Xiao Bao to show up now, he hopes he will stay away from him.

After leaving the study, he walked through the garden, around the rockery, and saw a courtyard standing quietly in front of him. He was stunned for a moment. How did he end up here?

That was the courtyard where Lanzhi had lived before, and it was also where Li Zong lived after he went crazy. How could he have forgotten to flatten this courtyard when he bought the Li residence?

Thinking of this, he felt depressed. Scenes of Li Zong's past appeared before his eyes one by one, and he felt a pain in his heart.

He almost forgot to add one person to his revenge list, Xiao Lushan.

He turned back to the study, woke up Agui who was on night duty, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, asking him to deliver it to the gambling house on East Street the next day.

"Master, who are you going to harm this time?"

Song Wen raised his hand and patted him on the head: "Do you want to die?"

"I know I was wrong, little one."

When the Seventh Prince and his companions returned to the palace, Li Yi and Li Zhi went to receive their punishment: twenty strokes of the cane each. Xiaomei and Qiao Ling, feeling sorry for their husbands, rushed to take care of them.

Li Yi and Li Zhi went back to apply medicine and then went to the prince to receive the task.

Ye Youlan asked them to go back and rest first and call them if there was anything. Aren’t Li Mu and others still in the mansion?

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "We're fine."

The Seventh Prince said with a look of disgust: "Go down!"

The two of them limped back.

Ye Youlan complained that the Seventh Prince needed people right now, and if you beat them up, you will lose two capable men.

"After getting married, your brain is no longer enough. How can you learn from it if you don't teach it a lesson?"

Ye Youlan said nothing more. She went to see Yueyue and Erbao. Having two worry-free children almost made them the most unreliable parents.

Yueyue was practicing calligraphy, and the toy bucket that Ye Youlan had customized for her in the blacksmith shop was placed on a shelf nearby, without any signs of use.

Ye Youlan gently asked her daughter if she didn't like this toy.

"Leave it to my brother to play with! Mom, go back to your room and don't disturb me while I'm practicing calligraphy. Grandpa Chen criticized me for not making any progress these days."

Grandpa Chen, which Grandpa Chen? Oh my god, Yueyue, are you practicing calligraphy with Minister Chen?

Yueyue nodded and shook her head: "I thought you knew it a long time ago!"

Ye Youlan came over and hugged her daughter: "Yueyue, let's not work so hard, be happy."

Yueyue stared at her mother with her big, watery eyes: "Mom, I like reading and writing. I am very happy when others praise my progress."

"Well, it's my mother who's not striving for progress and is dragging you down."

Ye Youlan called Ding Yu outside and asked quietly, "When did Minister Chen teach Yueyue how to write? How come I didn't know about it?"

Ding Yu smiled: "Last time, the Prime Minister brought the little princess into the palace and secretly became her apprentice. Yueyue asked the guards to deliver her handwritten calligraphy to the Chen Mansion. Minister Chen would comment on it and then write a few new calligraphy and have the guards bring it back."
