Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Qingping held that seal, the remaining red ink pad on it glowed brightly in the firelight, it was such a small seal, but it contained things beyond her reach, power and strength, which she easily grasped now Holding it in her hand, she didn't feel a trace of joy and excitement. On the contrary, her heart was full of doubts, confusion and anxiety about the unknown.

Tonight, the fine snow is facing the wind, falling in the dim light of the lanterns outside the porch, and it looks extraordinarily peaceful and tranquil, but in this silent winter night, except for some places where the light falls, the other areas are shrouded in darkness, and no one knows where What is hidden? It seems that there is a huge beast dormant in the vast night, waiting for the prey to relax its vigilance and kill it with one blow.

What will happen tonight?In her dim memories, the countless mistakes she made have been reduced to clear lessons. She can't take anything lightly at any time. Sometimes there are signs of many things before they happen, but she is in the middle of the situation. It is inevitable to be affected by it, but if you check carefully, there will always be results.

She walked through the long corridor to the study, and said to the guards on duty outside the door: "Go and invite the chief guard and the accountant."

Qingping sat alone in the study, meditating in front of a glazed lamp. King Xin had only opened the mansion for two months, if he acted improperly and had no right to govern, there is nothing wrong with it. If the Empress asks, there is nothing to blame .What's more, there is a clear distinction between public and private in the mansion, and there has been no objection so far. She suddenly thought of someone, pondered for a while, and wrote down the handwriting on the paper.After a while, the guards announced that the two had arrived, and a woman in green clothes pushed the door open, and the cashier followed behind her, her clothes were a little messy, the woman stood in the study with big thorns, the snow on her boots stained her face. There was a large blanket, she cupped her hands and said, "What is Li Dianyu calling me here late at night?"

Her words and deeds were very disrespectful, and she didn't turn her eyes on Qingping. Qingping said calmly, "You are not Tianxuan, who are you?"

The accountant has worked under her for a long time, so she naturally knew that something important must have happened, so she stepped forward and saluted, "My lord, is something wrong?"

The woman in green was slightly stiff, with a murderous intent in her eyes, she still smiled and said: "What is your lord talking about, why have I never heard of Tianxuan, is there such a person in the house?"

Qingping picked up a piece of paper, stamped the seal on it, and said: "Go to He Zhoufang's house and bring her to me, and then send someone to move the account book in the accounting room."

The woman stared at her suspiciously, walked to the desk, looked at her carefully, and said, "Who are you, this is... This is His Highness's seal? Why is it in your hand? "Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance at the tip of his nose, and his eyes widened instantly as if remembering something, with an unbelievable look on his face.

The steward of the accountant received the handwritten letter, identified the authenticity of the seal, and said in a low voice: "My lord, did you leave it on the bright side?"

Qing Ping thoughtfully said: "I'm afraid that His Majesty will liquidate the property on the Huangzhuang. If you take away the property from previous years, it will not be right anyway, and leave this year's loss for storage."

After speaking, he glanced at the woman in green again, and said, "Master Guard, what are you still doing?"

The man had been standing on the edge of the table with a distorted expression just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He woke up when he heard the words, and took a step back in horror, not daring to look directly at her again, and stammered: "Yes!"

Qing Ping paused, looked at her strangely and said, "What is it, go and bring the person over quickly."

The man went down in a hurry. The accountant was quite trusted by Chu Jun, and she had participated in the private affairs of the mansion. Seeing that Qingping was holding Chu Jun's private seal in her hand, she asked, "My lord, Your Highness has only entered the palace. Could it be that you will Is there a problem?"

Qingping paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, and said: "It's just that His Highness gave an order in advance. If there is any abnormality in the mansion, it's just a matter of arranging manpower to deal with it. After thinking about it, His Highness has only opened the mansion for more than two months. What big things are you going to say?" , It’s not our turn. I think someone secretly tampered with the account, but the last audit has been verified clearly. If you want to bypass the account room, you can’t disturb people’s brains on it, except for ours. Master Changshi, who else can there be?"

The accountant manager said: "My lord, but will it be too eye-catching to bring someone into the mansion rashly?"

Qingping said indifferently: "Kill one to warn others, we can't let people think that this palace is like their own backyard, and they can do whatever they want."

The accountant still felt that it was too hasty, and said: "But there is no evidence, how can we convict this long history?"

Qingping glanced at the booklet on the case, took a copy and handed it to the accountant, saying: "It's actually nothing, but she has made too many enemies, you can take a look."

The accountant steward hesitated for a moment, took the booklet and opened it for a look. After a while, he couldn't believe it and said, "How dare Mr. He do such a thing? It wiped out the debt owed by Zhuangzi the year before last? Isn't this a clear deficit?" …”

Looking at her quietly, with one hand on a stack of folders, said: "This is just one of them, there are more."

The door was suddenly pushed open, the cold wind mixed with sporadic snowflakes rolled in, a man who was tied up was thrown on the ground by the chief guard, Qingping held a red pen, and under the terrified eyes of the man, he said with a smile: "Hey! My lord, long time no see."

He Zhoufang was wrapped in a quilt and said angrily, "Li Qingping, what are you doing?"

Qingping smiled, and motioned the accountant to show her the book: "To make a long story short, Mr. He wants to read this and then think about what he should say."

Immediately afterwards, He Zhoufang's face changed slightly. After reading the complete book, she barely held on, and said: "It's all nonsense, you, you dare to hold Shangguan in the middle of the night, you probably don't want to live!"

Qingping said coldly: "I don't know if it's nonsense, but this booklet was submitted to His Highness's case ten days ago, do you think she believes you, or doesn't she believe you?"

He Zhoufang was unstable, his face was pale, his lips parted, he hesitated to speak, and said in a low voice: "I don't know anything."

"Let me take a guess, did someone tell you that as long as you wiped out last year's account in this palace, and then passed His Highness and handed over the booklet to Chenghui Mansion, you can put this bad debt on my head? At that time, there must be some action in the palace, and if it turns out to be fake, it will become true, besides, you do have the right to submit the memorial directly across the palace, so," Qingping threw out a yellow silk and blue pattern memorial, admiring it. Looking at He Zhoufang's extremely ugly face, he said leisurely: "You want to know when this was stopped? Obviously someone told you that you have already submitted it to the principal, how could something go wrong?"

She paused every word: "That's because Your Highness asked me to write the paper in advance, and it was submitted before you. Chenghui Mansion accepted the palace memorial, so the first letter was the main one, and the rest Send them all back to the mansion, you think the same way, otherwise, why would you want to get ahead of me? What's more, if there is a mistake in this memorial, it will be the decree, not the long history, who will be punished severely, right? After the memorial is handed in, Who can say who wrote this? They are all memorials from the palace, and they can't tell the difference. When you reveal the account book, Chenghui Mansion will definitely send a group of people to investigate the matter thoroughly, then—— "

Qingping stared closely at her bloodless face, but his tone was unexpectedly gentle: "Why on earth are you doing this? Staring at me for a small decree. Why on earth are you taking such risks? , Is it simply because you don't like me, and you want to get rid of it quickly?"

He Zhoufang's complexion changed, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said in a hateful voice: "...whatever you say is useless!" A distorted smile appeared on her face, mixed with contempt and disdain, Said: "Instead of thinking so much, it's better to think about the funeral."

Qing Ping stepped down from the main seat, dipped the Langhao pen in her hand with cinnabar, followed her movements as it dripped onto the carpet, leaving a long red trace, the dazzling color was very much like blood.Although He Zhoufang looked up at her, the disdain on his face became more and more obvious. Standing in front of her, Qingping suddenly said: "I used to be unable to understand one thing, but now look at you, Now I think it’s a good choice to depend on others, at least I have a backer, and at least I have the confidence to do anything.”

He Zhoufang spat, and said with a low smile, "Although I'm not talented, I can't compare to Li Dianyu's natural beauty. I'm just a matter of color, so how can I be safe for a long time?"

Qing Ping was expressionless, and the accountant steward was startled when he heard the words, wishing to cover himself as a deaf person, and the chief guard looked at her with strange eyes, Qing Ping said in a flat tone: "In ancient times, there were kings who sought talents if they admired them, Mr. He has no virtuous talent, nor is he particularly beautiful, so he can't blame others for not being favored by His Highness."

He Zhoufang smiled strangely and continued to speak, Qingping looked at her sideways, because of the angle, her eyebrows were hidden in dark shadows, but the color of her eyes was reflected by the candlelight with a sense of emptiness, not like a stranger at all , making her heart feel slightly chilled, she slowly said: "Of course, the borrowed power will be returned in full one day, and you must be prepared to be abandoned at any time. Then, Mr. He, have you done this well?" Ready?"

The accountant manager vaguely felt that he couldn't listen to the inside story, so he took the first step to leave. The head guard leaned against the door, looked at the half-open door, and subconsciously stroked the scabbard, but turned his eyes to the man outside the door. In the vast night, she thought for a moment, and finally said: "Master Li, please continue to ask questions, I will guard outside the door."

There were only two people left in the room, the ink brush fell to the ground, Qingping said calmly: "What exactly are you looking for from me?"

He Zhoufang didn't speak, and she said to herself: "Needless to say, I can guess a little bit, presumably it is to check the identity of His Highness in the past, it is easy to splash dirty water, but it is difficult for the person who is splashed to clean up. Am i right?"

She pulled up He Zhoufang's collar, looked at her suddenly constricted pupils, and smiled as expected: "It's a pity, Mr. He, you think I'm Chu Jun's plaything, and you want to start with me Cha Chu Jun? But you are all wrong..."

She whispered in He Zhoufang's ear, "Actually, you all don't understand, I'm just her shadow."

"So." Chu Jun picked up the medicine bowl, let the soup cool down, glanced at Qingping who was standing aside, and said, "He Changshi drank too much wine, fell into his own pond and died?"

Qingping nodded, held up the private seal with both hands, Chu Jun coughed a few times, and said, "Put it on the table."

Liu Zhen walked in and said, "Your Highness, Lord Yaoguang is waiting outside the door."

Chu Jun said: "Let her wait a little longer, I still have something to say to Qingping."

Qingping stood by the side silently, and heard Chu Jun say: "You did a good job last night."

Chu Jun tapped her hand on the table, which was her usual way of thinking about things: "But I want to hear, what do you think, and He Zhoufang was dealt with like this."

It took a long time for Qingping to speak slowly, and said: "It's just that she is about to find out His Highness's previous identity, and she has to do this for the sake of safety."

"Is that so, I thought you were really doing things because of her saying that Israel is a thing?" Chu Jun picked up the seal to look at it, and said with a smile.

It turns out that she knows everything, even if she is not in the palace, she can easily know the cause and effect, even such a sentence can be clearly understood.Qingping's eyes drooped slightly, he smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Highness is joking, since this person has passed away, her words are not so important."

Chu Jun looked at her with a little surprise, as if he suddenly became interested, and asked, "What if what she said is true?"

Qing Ping didn't see anything unusual under her gaze, the expression on her face was the same as before, she said: "As His Highness said, that should be a skill, right?"

This answer seemed to be beyond Chu Jun's expectation. She paused when she tapped on the table, and looked at her with intriguing eyes.Qingping looked at her calmly, Chu Jun stood up, looked at her condescendingly, rubbed her hand on the side of her face for a while, and then said: "That's right, you have the capital."

Qing Ping's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched suddenly, and she said without changing her face: "Your Highness, then I will go out first."

Chu Jun smiled and let her go.

Qingping walked out of the room, and Liu Zhen was waiting outside. Seeing her, she came out and said, "Qingping, are you feeling better now, I saw your face look a little ugly last night—"

Qingping nodded, it was cold outside, and the heat she brought from the room was also covered by the chill.Liu Zhen suddenly opened his mouth and couldn't speak, his face was extremely ugly, he looked at her strangely, and then looked behind him, and said strangely: "What's wrong."

Liu Zhen was stunned, her heart skipped a beat, an unbelievable thought came to her mind, she forced a smile: "It's nothing."

Just as Qingping was about to leave, Liu Zhen said from behind: "Qingping, do you really know what you are doing?"

Qingping met her unspeakable eyes, thought she was talking about what happened last night, felt something was wrong, and couldn't explain it, just said: "I know."

Hearing this, Liu Zhen took a deep breath and murmured, "Okay, as long as you understand."

The author has something to say: Yes, I may be abused.

Look at the sweet friends, let me say sorry first, I'm sorry.
