Hualuo Chang'an

Huayue Fourth Courtyard turned out to be a little deserted.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there were servants holding lamps everywhere in the courtyard, and the corridor was lit up soon.The turtle slave leading the way was afraid of disturbing the distinguished guests, so he walked very slowly, and he had to see that the lights in front of him were all set before moving on.As a result, Luo Changxi simply slowed down and looked at the lights while walking.

The lanterns of Huayue Fourth Courtyard are also unique.

Since it is named "Huayue", the lights on the corridor are also in the shape of flowers, only the lights in the pavilion are eight-sided silk gauze Chang'e flying to the moon lights, which are big and bright, illuminating the surroundings very clearly. .Both the lanterns and the moon lanterns are very exquisitely made, which is definitely not the common craftsmanship of ordinary craftsmen.

Luo Changxi watched all the way, amazed all the way.

Seeing Gongyi, she was a little unhappy.

"You are a princess after all, why are you so ignorant..." Gong Yining muttered a few words in a low voice, "Besides, the lights on my flower planting path are also very beautiful, why don't you like it like this?"

Luo Changxi glanced at her, but said nothing.

"Hey……"

"You're wrong this time." Luo Changxi also lowered his voice, "These lanterns are really unique, not only in your way of planting flowers, but also in the palace..."

"Luo Changxi!"

"So, the Huayue Fourth Courtyard is not simple."

Luo Changxi said so.

Such things may not be bought by money alone, so the meaning behind it is very intriguing.

Gong Yining also reacted and took a closer look.Looking at it, she also saw some ways.Her Gongyi family is originally a family of institutions, and she has dabbled in various handicrafts.Looking at these things is naturally much more transparent and careful than ordinary people.Looking at it, Gong Yining felt something was wrong.

"This method seems to be..."

"Like what?"

"Not quite right."

Luo Changxi wanted to ask again, but the turtle slave who was leading the way had already stopped, and said to Luo Changxi: "Your Highness, please go in and sit first, and mother will be here in a while." After speaking, he couldn't help but read more Gongyi stared at him.Although Huayue Fourth Courtyard did not expressly stipulate that female customers are not allowed to come to the house, it is almost a customary rule in brothels.Guinu has never seen a male guest come to drink flower wine and bring a female guest...

Gongyi Ning was looking at the lamp, but at this moment she noticed that the turtle slave was looking at her, raised her eyebrows and stared at her and said, "What are you looking at! Have you never seen a girl as beautiful as me?"

Gui Nu hurriedly lowered his head, and retreated obediently.

Luo Changxi pulled Gong Yining to sit down, but he was still thinking about the lamp, and asked her: "Is there anything weird about that lamp? What did you see?"

Gong Yining thought for a while, and finally shook her head and said, "I just think the method is strange, and I don't know what's weird. If you are really curious, steal one for me, and I will take it back to have a look." Luo Changxi glanced at her , Gong Yining said again: "Don't have too much hope, I'm not sure, maybe they just make lamps differently."

The two said a few more words, and Su Wuniang came.

As soon as Su Wuniang came, she saw Gongyi Ning first, but her eyes froze, and she didn't show much surprise. Then, she saw Luo Changxi again, and her eyes became a little more mean.

"Your Highness hasn't come for a long time." Su Wuniang walked over with a smile, and poured wine for Luo Changxi herself, "Is Your Highness still here to listen to Chen Yu playing the piano this time?"

"Is your highness willing to give it to Boss Su if he wants to hear it?" Gong Yining smiled first, "Boss Su's treasure, Chen Yu...isn't it just for Ling Xiang to play the piano?"

Su Wuniang kept working, with a smile on her face.

"It's not my idea, it's Chen Yu himself who got into trouble, and is having a temper tantrum."

"Chen Yu is your man, but doesn't he listen to your mercy?"

When Su Wuniang heard this, she finally took a look at Luo Changxi.Just now, when Cai Gongyining spoke a few words to her provocatively, Luo Changxi didn't make a statement, neither showed any expression nor opened his mouth to speak.Su Wuniang also understood in her heart that these two people came here today to find trouble.So she smiled, put down the jug in her hand, and said to Luo Changxi: "Your Highness is here today to drink and listen to the piano, or to..." Su Wuniang paused suddenly as she spoke, and first glanced at Gongyi Ning, said: "Is there anything else?"

Luo Changxi nodded and said, "There is indeed something else."

"I also ask Your Highness to advise."

"Boss Su's business is doing very well, and the news should be very well-informed. Then, Boss Su should also know that since I returned to Beijing, I have been transferred to Jingzhao Mansion to take on the responsibility of monitoring the capital." Luo Chang Xi Dan said, "The reason why I came here today is because Boss Su sent people to disturb the feast of flowers in Ranxianglou the night before, and even disregarded human life, endangering the capital. This matter is of great importance, so naturally I have to come to Boss Su for an explanation .”

As soon as Su Wuniang said this, Gong Yining was surprised.

Luo Changxi clearly told her that it was not confirmed yet, and there was no proof, why did he suddenly say that to Su Wuniang at this time?Gongyi looked at Luo Changxi with a calm face, wondering if Luo Changxi wanted to cheat Su Wuniang?But Su Wuniang is so shrewd, how could she be frightened by this little trick so casually...

As expected, Su Wuniang kept her composure, and just said: "Your Highness's words are really surprising. I am just a weak woman, and I only open this Huayue Fourth Courtyard just to make a living. I never fight with others. Do such evil things? I wonder if His Highness has misunderstood, can you speak up and give me a chance to explain?"

This is said softly, but the meaning is very clear.

If you want to accuse Su Wuniang of a crime, you must at least produce some evidence first.

"In that case, then I'll just say it straight." Luo Changxi said calmly, still with a confident look, "Boss Su used to be good in the teaching workshop, if he hadn't been deceived by that person How could you have fallen to where you are today? After all these years, you are not only obsessed with your obsession, but you are also so devoted to doing things for him?" Gong Yining half understood Luo Changxi's words, and then went to Seeing Su Wuniang's expression, although she was still motionless, her face seemed a little pale.

"I have asked the Jingzhao Mansion to examine those corpses carefully. They all had marks tattooed on their arms. Although they have been removed now, it is not impossible to restore them." Luo Changxi continued, " That imprint... I know it."

These words are deceiving Su Wuniang.

The imprint has not been restored at all, and it is naturally impossible for Luo Changxi to "recognize".

Su Wuniang finally gradually restrained her smile, but she still didn't look depressed, she just said: "In this case, Your Highness shouldn't come to talk to me in private, but should bring someone to seal this Huayue directly." The Fourth Court arrested me and sent me to the dungeon of Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation. Isn’t that right?”

Luo Changxi smiled: "You are right."

The three were silent for a while.

After that, Luo Changxi still drank as usual, Gong Yining continued to grab the dim sum fruit on the plate, Su Wuniang still talked to them with a gentle smile, and poured wine for Luo Changxi from time to time.

It was as if the previous tension had never happened.

After sitting for a while, Luo Changxi got up and said goodbye.Su Wuniang sent a section, and then ordered a few maids to light the road in the premise, Yin Yin told the turtle slave to follow and serve carefully, and then retreated, very polite and thoughtful.

Luo Changxi was speechless all the way, and Gong Yining also buried her head in her own thoughts.

It wasn't until the two of them left the gate of Huayue Fourth Courtyard that Luo Changxi remembered that there was Gong Yining by his side.It was already late at night, and she was worried about Gong Yining going back alone, so she said, "I'll take you back first." He opened his mouth, but for some reason, he felt a little bit reluctant in his heart, and he closed his mouth involuntarily, humming "hmm".

After walking a few steps, Gong Yining thought of what Luo Changxi said just now.

"What you told Su Wuniang just now...is it true?"

"Half-truth, half-false." Luo Changxi explained a few words about the imprint on the dead body, and then said, "But tonight's trip is not in vain. In the few words I said to her, there are A few sentences are my guesses. But judging from her face, she should have guessed exactly j□j. This can be regarded as a harvest."

"What guess?"

"One is the relationship between her and the person behind it. It seems that she formed it when she was in Jiaofang. That daughter may be the one who maintains the relationship between them. The second is..." Speaking of this, Luo Changxi hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think, maybe I really know that mark and who is behind her."

"Ah? How did you come up with this?"

"There are only a few possibilities for someone who is so capable and spends so much effort to infiltrate the court official's house." Luo Changxi didn't say much, but said, "So I guess, it should be the one I want to investigate." stock forces."

Gongyi Ning knew that this involved the affairs of the government, so she didn't ask any more questions.

During the conversation, we have reached the Flower Planting Road, and the Ranxiang Tower is also close in front of us.

Seeing that it was getting late, Gongyi was thinking that Luo Changxi would be able to ride back the horse she had ridden last time, but she saw Zhang's mother standing at the door of Ranxianglou looking around from a distance.As soon as Zhang's mother saw Gong Yining, she quickly ran up with twisted steps, panting heavily, "Miss, that...that Chenyu..."

"Chen Yu?" Gong Yining was a little surprised, "What happened to Chen Yu?"

"That Chen Yu...she's here!" Mother Zhang said with a secretive expression, "I waited for Miss all night, and said I have something important to say to Miss, and I asked her with Yu Niang for a long time, but she refused to reveal a word Seeing her appearance, it seems that there is something important, her face is serious... But her complexion is not very good-looking, as if she has some kind of illness. Earlier, Yu Niang also asked her if she wanted to send someone to find the young lady, but she It’s not necessary to say, “It’s worth waiting as long as you want”, it’s really inexplicable..."

Gong Yining turned her head to look at Luo Changxi, who was also a little surprised.

They went to Huayue Fourth Courtyard to meet Su Wuniang, why did Chen Yu come to Ranxiang Tower to see Gong Yining?What could be more important?

Seeing that Gong Yining seemed to be hesitating, Luo Changxi stepped forward and grabbed her.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look first."
