Xie Xuan looked at her back and laughed softly, "It's not morning glory that I like, it's..."

"My lord, Mr. He is here with a banquet." Ruo Lan glanced at the carriage not far from Qu's house, and calmly reminded her.

Qingxue looked at her coldly.

Ruolan agrees frankly.

Xie Xuan swallowed the second half of the sentence, and after taking a look at the several carriages rushing this way, he said softly: "This king is tired."

With a simple sentence, He Yunhu, who hurried over with his wife, daughter, several subordinates and elders, and a group of famous singers and dancers, was once again rejected.Because he didn't know when Xie Xuan would not be tired, he didn't dare to leave at all.

This wait.

Just waited until dark.

Xie Xuan, who had eaten lunch, washed and changed his clothes, and woke up after a good night's sleep, asked Nanling to invite him up at the foot of the mountain.

Naturally, the banquet cannot be eaten.

In a hurry, He Yunhu asked people to clean up a courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and then sent people to Laifu Restaurant to bring their entire back kitchen staff over and let them cook it fresh.

Xie Xuan watched him busy and didn't stop him.

Only when the dishes were served one by one, did Shi Shu and Wen Mo step forward to stop him and said: "Our young master doesn't eat outside."

"It's because the minister didn't think carefully. The prince has a noble status, so he has to be more careful." He Yunhu smiled, and after quickly paying the gift, he ordered the banquet to be removed.

Originally, when he came to the banquet, he would take advantage of the opportunity to recruit Madam He and He Qiluo, to relieve Chen Chaoyan's boredom, but to introduce them to Xie Xuan, but now he dare not.

After he proposed to invite a famous singing and dancing actress to perform for the sake of drinking and was rejected, even though he was unwilling, He Yunhu had no choice but to bite the bullet and bring up the matter of the Qu family: "My lord came to Dongyin County, but he came for the old case of the Qu family?"

Xie Xuan raised his eyes slightly, "Why do you say that?"

Seeing that he finally answered, He Yunhu sighed secretly while he was quietly relieved.Then, he quickly adjusted his mood, and said more respectfully: "When I was an official in Lingnan Road, I had already heard about the old case of the Qu family. After I came to Dongyin County early last year, I also re-investigated the case immediately. It's a pity After many years, Ren Weichen tried his best, but failed to find any new clues. In the first half of the year, the weather in Dongyin County was good and the people were healthy, and the county government rarely had a free day, so we searched for the case of the Qu family I went out and checked, but still to no avail.”

"Some time ago, I was fortunate enough to hear about Miss Chen's thunderous methods in settling the case, and I was planning to bring the case to ask for advice, so I heard the news that the prince is coming here."

After euphemistically talking about his achievements, He Yunhu paused for a while, seeing that Xie Xuan was not impatient, he continued: "Dongyin County was at the bottom of the thirteen counties of Qianzhong Road in the early years, regardless of taxation or population. That one. It was Mr. Qu who worked tirelessly to make plans during his recuperation period, and gradually got what he is today. Mr. Qu was originally a member of the Water Department of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang. Due to his illness, he temporarily resigned from office and returned to Dongyin County. Originally After he recovers, he should return to the capital to resume his post, but he didn't want to think that those two cases happened before his illness recovered..."

Turning his head to look at the Qu house which was brightly lit in the past, but now there are only sporadic spots of light. He Yunhu took a long breath, then raised his hand and said: "Old Master Qu's contribution to Dongyin County is obvious to all. I implore the prince to order that Miss Chen Go ahead and re-investigate the case!"

Xie Xuan looked at him, and didn't point out his harshness towards Qu An in the past, "Master He also thinks that there is another mystery in the case of Qu Wensheng and Qu Qiyuan and his son?"

He Yunhu lowered his eyes and said: "Wei Chen definitely thinks there is another mystery."

Xie Xuan said with great interest: "Tell me."

"Judging from the case history and the investigation of the case by the officials, Qu Wensheng is upright and generous. His family is only one wife and one concubine, and they are harmonious and happy. Although the old man Qu is famous, he has never fought This is embarrassing. Although the widow of the Zhou family has some beauty, she is far from Mrs. Qu. Qu Wensheng has no reason to give up the pearl to win the fish's eye, and commit a murder for it." He Yunhu was clearly prepared. "Let's talk about Qu Qiyuan, his father, Qu Wensheng, had already achieved 197th place in the top three a year before the accident. After Qu Wensheng's accident, he also decided to go to Luyang County to take over as a recorder and join the military. He might hang himself one month before taking over, and he would choose a place as hidden as the deep valley between the two mountains of the Nagasawa Mountains.”

Xie Xuan nodded, "From what you said, there are indeed a lot of doubts. It's a pity that the evidence is solid, and it may not be easy to reverse the case."

He Yunhu took advantage of the situation and said: "Miss Chen solves the case like a god, and she will definitely restore the Qu family's innocence!"

Xie Xuan didn't say yes or no, he just asked, "Did you bring the case?"

"Brought it!" He Yunhu thought that he had concealed it very well to hide the calculations in his eyes, and said to the county magistrate Shi Feng, "Hurry up and submit the case."

Shi Feng lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and clasped his hands together, saying: "The case is with Miss."

"Nonsense!" He Yunhu said in a low voice, then took a quick look at Empress Xie Xuan, and quickly called out, "Hurry up and ask Miss to bring up the case!"

Xie Xuan picked up the wine glass, lowered his eyes to hide his ridicule, and still didn't stop him.

For a moment.

Wearing a green tunic with tufted patterns, sura kimono, and a red skirt with folded branches, with double buns and hibiscus face, He Qiluo, who is wearing a silver bead tree head hairpin and a gold-encrusted jewelry necklace, is holding a case file, looking delicate and tender. Softly walked in.After a quick glance at Xie Xuan shyly and timidly, he handed over the case with a blushing face, "Father, the case you want."

He Yunhu took over the case, secretly took a look at Xie Xuanhou, and said in a low voice: "I have forgotten the rules I taught you on weekdays? How come you are not polite when you see the prince?"

He Qiluo bit her lips lightly, walked forward with a blushing face, clasped her hands lightly and said: "My daughter has seen the prince."

Xie Xuan raised his eyes and looked at her frivolously.

He Qiluo bit her lips, after not seeing him for a long time and asked her to get up, she boldly raised her eyes and looked over.The moment he met his eyes, blood stained his cheeks instantly, and then he quickly lowered his head, his voice was as soft as water, and whispered: "My lord."

Xie Xuan let out a 'huh' inexplicably.

"Okay, let's go down." He Yunhu couldn't figure out his thoughts, and felt a little uneasy.He pretended to chase people away with his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on him, trying to see if he would keep him.

He Qiluo didn't want to leave, she looked at Xie Xuan half fascinated and half wronged.

Xie Xuan played with the wine glass and didn't speak.

He Yunhu tentatively called: "My lord?"

Xie Xuan looked at him, and asked nonchalantly: "Master He is here to clean up the dust for this king, but he still brings his own daughter with him. What's the point?"

He Yunhu quickly explained: "My wife also came here, and originally planned to accompany Ms. Chen to relieve boredom, but Ms. Chen did not attend."

Xie Xuan hooked his lips, "Really?"

He Yunhu didn't dare to keep He Qiluo any longer, and asked Shi Feng to take her away quickly, and while hurriedly handing over the case, he said: "I dare not hide from the lord."

The servant checked the case file, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, he closed it and handed it to Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan took it over, flipped through it, and asked, "Is Master He still doing anything?"

"Resignation." He Yunhu bowed his hands tactfully, took three steps back, turned around and led the crowd away.

After two cups of tea.

Xie Xuan, who had finished reading the case, asked, "Miss Chen, did you rest?"

The servant nodded, "I took a rest after lunch, I'm afraid I won't wake up in two days."

"Two days..." Xie Xuan stood up, glanced at the night outside, and said, "Then wait for her for two days. It just so happens that this king also wants to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dongyin County."

Just like every time she rode in a carriage continuously before, Chen Chaoyan fell asleep for two full days before waking up.

In the past two days, under the leadership of He Yunhu, Xie Xuan toured the high mountains and distant temples, streams, rivers and lakes in Dongyin County.

He Qiluo also brought the girls from various families to the Quzhai Mountainside Siheyuan seven or eight times on the pretext of accompanying Chen Chaoyan to enjoy the show.Although without exception, all of them returned without success, but He Qiluo did not give up.

Therefore, Chen Chaoyan woke up near noon, washed up, had lunch, and was just about to take a walk in front of Pingba, and by the way to understand Xie Xuan's purpose of living here, she came again.

Hearing the news, Chen Chaoyan was puzzled: "Miss He...Master He's daughter? What does she want from me?"

Yuejian quickly told her what happened in the past two days.

After hearing this, Chen Chaoyan glanced at Xie Xuan's yard with a smile and said, "It turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink. If that's the case, let her come in."

Can't see the moon.

Chen Chaoyan looked at her and teased: "What's the matter, that Miss He is not good-looking?"

"It's not pretty." Yue Jian said with a cold face.

"It seems that you don't like her." Chen Chaoyan couldn't help being curious, "Then I want to see her even more."

Yuejian stopped her angrily, "Ms. Chen, isn't she afraid of attracting wolves into the house?"

"Wolf?" Chen Chaoyan put his hands on her shoulders, pushed her aside, and said as he walked out, "She is not the only one who covets your young master's fat sheep. If I hide like this, it will last forever." You don't need to go out."

It seems to make sense.Yuejian immediately cleared up her dissatisfaction, and hurried to catch up with her, "No matter what kind of wolf or sheep, is Miss Chen really not afraid that the young master will be snatched away by others?"

"Why are you afraid?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

"Aren't you afraid?" Yue Jian didn't believe it, and said more intentionally, "There are many young ladies who like our young master."

"So what?" Chen Chao's face was peaceful, his voice was quiet, "Your son grew up in the capital, and he has never seen any kind of flowers and plants, but didn't he choose me in the end?"

Yuejian blurted out: "That's because..."

"That's because I can dissect corpses and solve cases," Chen Chaoyan continued her words leisurely, "while the other ladies can only play piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or poetry."

Yue Jian curled her lips and said intentionally: "The other ladies are still pretty."

Chen Chaoyan glanced at her, "It's pretty but it can't be eaten."

Yue Jian was dissatisfied: "But it can..."

"But can it be pleasing to the eye?" Chen Chaoyan took her words again, and after seeing her nodding, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not easy, after I pass through the door, I will give your young master dozens of concubines that are as beautiful as flowers." .”

Yue Jian was a little angry, "You..." Do you not care about our son at all?

"I'm fine, thank you." Chen Chaoyan took her words again in a very friendly manner.

Yuejian was so angry that he ignored her.

Chen Chaoyan was amused and laughed lightly.
