Qi Yan got off the morning court and was a little tired. He was sitting in the Nuanxin Pavilion and was about to drink two mouthfuls of cinnamon porridge when he saw Liufu come in with a face of joy. .”

Qi Yan immediately put down the bowl, before he had time to put on the fox fur and hurried out the door, he saw Su Qingbai wearing a sky blue wide padded robe, looking up at the bamboo, the snow wind and the fragrance of bamboo filling his sleeves, Qi Yan went from His eyes brightened up to his mood.

"When I came here early in the morning, I just looked at the bamboo in a daze, and I'm not afraid of the cold." Qi Yan pulled Su Qingbai's collar, and asked again, "Has the red rash on your body faded?"

"Last time, you said that the little boy serving tea in the respect room in the palace died suddenly. Later, you heard Lu Chan said that he died of mercury poisoning. What will happen after death?"

Qi Yan raised his eyebrows, and said, "Why did you die when you opened your mouth?" He leaned forward and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? There are a few new snacks in the imperial dining room, such as Linglong steamed dumplings, camel Hoof cake, butter layer, which one do you like to eat?"

Sure enough, Su Qing's white eyes lit up when she heard what to eat, she swallowed, and said, "Everything."

With a smile on his face, Qi Yan led him into the Nuanxin Pavilion.

Su Qingbai stuffed a lot of ghee into her mouth, and she didn't forget to suck the sweet oil in her hand, with a satisfied expression on her face.Qi Yan was afraid that he would choke himself with this voracious eating method, so he divided the camel hoof cake into pieces with a spoon, and said in a gentle voice, "Eat slowly, these are all yours."

Su Qingbai happily finished the cinnamon porridge, took another half bite of the dumpling, chewed it in her mouth and suddenly frowned.

"Huh? Are you full?"

"Too many green onions." Su Qingbai pointed to the dumplings.

Qi Yan leaned over and ate half of the dumpling left on his chopsticks, and comforted him: "Next time, we won't let the imperial dining room put green onions."

Su Qingbai put down her chopsticks and yawned.

Qi Yan was amused in his heart: he could eat until he wanted to sleep, which shows that this meal is very satisfying.He saw the black circles looming under Su Qingbai's eyes again, and said: "There is construction in the southwest of your mansion, it's noisy, and your bedroom is very close, why don't you move to the palace for a few days?"

"I won't change rooms to sleep." Su Qingbai said angrily.

"No, you accept the bed."

"..."

Su Qingbai stretched out her hand to get the camel hoof cake again, but Qi Yan stopped her, "Eat it again until I feel sick to my stomach, don't eat it, I will pack it for you later."

Su Qingbai sighed softly, sat up straighter, and said, "Now can you tell me how the little boy died?"

Qi Yan saw that his pale face was puffy from eating hot food, and his heart tightened with joy, and he wanted to tease him even more, so he said: "After wiping your hands, accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and I'll tell you. "

Su Qingbai had no choice but to glance at him and nodded.

The delicacy of the Yuhou Garden is incomparable with other places. The beautiful flowers and famous trees, reflecting the fine snow under the thin sun, are all gorgeous.

The two walked for a while, and stood on an arched bridge, looking at the fine ripples in the water, Su Qingbai said, "Let's talk about business."

The corners of Qi Yan's mouth twitched, and he thought: "Still so stubborn."

"Xiao Maozi was indeed poisoned by mercury before he died, but he had other injuries on his body. It cannot be concluded that he died of poisoning. That day he went out to gamble, and the key to the palace gate did not come back. The next day he was behind the palace. A small corner door was discovered, and the man was already dead when he was found, his face and limbs were covered with red papules, and there was a wound on his wrist that looked like he was cut by a sword, and he seemed to have been bled before he died." Qi Yan slowly said, "Xiao Maozi has a dull personality. Apart from gambling, he has no other bad habits, and he has no enemies. He died for no reason. This case is handed over to Dali Temple for investigation."

Su Qingbai thought for a moment and said, "He is from Northern Xinjiang."

"Ah."
