Hualuo Chang'an

Chapter 018. Inner Building

When Luo Changxi woke up, he didn't have many memories of the previous night, he only remembered drinking a large cup of strange tea in the Ranxiang Building, and then he lost consciousness.

When she woke up, she found that she had already slept on her own bed, but her clothes were still in a mess like the night before.

Luo Changxi had only two thoughts in his mind at this moment, the first was that he should have been sent back by Gong Yining.The second is that after drinking that strange tea, I slept fairly well, and I didn’t feel any discomfort after careful inspection. It seems that it is just like what Gong Yining said, it’s just a tea mixed with drugs. .

She got up and changed her clothes as usual, until she sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair, she suddenly realized that she had become accustomed to it and was wearing men's clothing.

Seems like it's time to switch back to women's clothing.

However, before that, Luo Changxi thought about what happened in Ranxianglou the night before.

Someone came to the door and asked for trouble.

——To dare to cause trouble on the flower planting road, the person here is indeed a bit courageous.

And after the incident failed, those people actually committed suicide by taking poison. As a result, the matter became serious, and it was absolutely necessary to investigate carefully.Although the person is dead, but the body is still there, there must be other clues.Then, there is no need to change clothes for now, lest Jingzhao Fuyin not recognize her as a female "His Royal Highness".

After washing and washing, Luo Changxi ate, packed up and prepared to go to Jingzhao Mansion.

In fact, what Luo Mingde said was right, within this month, she had indeed not been to Jingzhao Mansion a few times, and she was not even familiar with the way to enter the mansion.But the case of Ranxianglou happened in Beijing, and the other party was hiding his head and showing off his tail, so she had to go to investigate it with great fanfare and openly.

At least, beat that hidden force.

Before Luo Changxi left the house, Jing Qing came to look for her.

In these few days, Jing Qing, apart from conducting secret investigations in the capital, also went to the palace to check the files in the Luku every day. After many days of investigations, she found nothing, and Luo Changxi was not in a hurry to urge her.But now that she came running excitedly, she saw that there was news.

But Luo Changxi didn't rush to ask for the news first, but was startled by Jing Qing's attire.

Jing Qing...

Wearing a lake green shirt and skirt, with a small flower bun on one side, there is no trace of carelessness in the usual way, and there is a bit of gentleness and virtuousness in the actions.

Luo Changxi was stunned.

"you……"

Jing Qing quickly realized what Luo Changxi meant, and said embarrassingly, "Actually, I didn't want to, but my father...he didn't know where he knew that you were going to recruit a son-in-law...Let's say I'm not young either. Let my mother prepare it for me, forcing me to change back into women's clothing, for fear that I won't be able to get married..."

Luo Changxi wanted to laugh, but thinking that he was not much better, at this time he and Jing Qing were suffering from the same illness, so he held back again, and just praised: "It's very good."

Jing Qing didn't dare to refute, so she could only say pitifully: "Your Highness, don't make fun of me."

Luo Changxi smiled: "I really praise you, if you dress up like this from now on, you will be able to marry soon."

When Jing Qing heard this, her face turned red, so she had to quickly change the subject, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness is still laughing at me. The rumors about His Highness in Beijing today are much more lively than mine."

Luo Changxi was a little puzzled: "What rumor?"

"Rumors say that His Highness was fooling around in the Ranxiang Tower last night..." Jing Qing carefully said the word "fooling around", seeing that Luo Changxi didn't look unhappy, she continued, "Also Your Highness was too drunk to pester Hua Niang and refused to go back home, undressing and behaving badly..."

Undress? !Sapo!

"...Later, it was a flower girl who brought His Highness back, but His Highness refused to get out of the carriage when he arrived at the door of his house, and even let the carriage kick the door, making the whole Forte Street uneasy..."

Kick the door...

"The anecdote of Your Highness was spread vividly in Beijing. Of course I didn't believe it at first, but..." Jing Qing glanced at Luo Changxi again, and said, "But when I came here just now, I saw that the gate of the mansion was indeed broken. Yes, someone is fixing it..."

That Gongyi Ning!

Luo Changxi was going crazy.

It's okay for Gongyi Ning to mess around in normal times, but she even took advantage of her unconsciousness to do such a thing!Now that the city is full of disturbances, no need to think about it, Luo Mingde must know it too.Will she be called into the palace to scold her again?Luo Changxi felt a terrible headache, thinking that he must teach Gong Yining a lesson.

Seeing Luo Changxi's strange expression, Jing Qing didn't dare to ask any more questions, and said very wittily, "Your Highness, actually... Actually, I came here to ask His Highness for business."

"what's up?"

"I've found some clues in the past few days, about that Su Wuniang, and some about that sinking fish."

"Oh?" Luo Changxi said, "What did you find?"

Su Wuniang actually came from a good background. She was originally a young lady from the family of a small official in the capital, but her fate was not very good. Her parents died early, and her relatives were very harsh. She was sold by her own aunt when she was five years old. Established an official teaching workshop.Fortunately, she has a good temperament and is quite talented in piano art. After 12 years in the teaching workshop, she soon became one of the best luthiers in the workshop, and was also the No.1 appointed to the palace.

But just before entering the palace, something happened to Su Wuniang suddenly.

She was found to be pregnant and was kicked out of the teaching workshop.

Hearing this, Luo Changxi thought of what she had heard about "Miss" in the Fourth Courtyard of Huayue, and she was able to correspond to it.Later, Su Wuniang gave birth to a daughter, but she didn't know who the daughter belonged to.

"That's all about Su Wuniang. As for Chen Yu, I found it in the maid list when Su Wuniang was still in the teaching workshop. I'm not sure. I only saw a maid named Xiaoyu. Guess Could it be the sinking fish..."

"I already know this." Luo Changxi nodded, and became a little confused again, "You've been checking for so many days, and this is all the news?"

"Your Highness, I don't know how many rosters there are in that Luku! Even if they are all categorized and consolidated, it is still necessary to look up old cases from ten years ago. Master Xiao Ji from Luku can help me find it together, otherwise I’m afraid I’m still flipping through the booklets…”

Jing Qing was quite aggrieved.

Luo Changxi patted her on the shoulder, nodded and said, "It's been hard work. However, you can't rest right now. You have to go to Jingzhao Mansion with me, and then we will go to Shihua Road to investigate a case."

The matter of Ranxianglou happened in Beijing, and Mr. Yin Cen of Jingzhao Mansion had already got the news.Zhang's mother is also a very measured person. When she sees someone die, she knows that the matter is of great importance, so she reported the case early.But precisely because it was a matter of planting flowers, Mr. Cen guessed that Luo Changxi, who had heard a lot of rumors with the flower lady of Ranxianglou, would definitely pay attention to it, so he only collected the corpse and went back for inspection, and ordered people to look at the planting flower road for the time being. He didn't make any big moves, and planned to wait for Luo Changxi's call before making a decision.At this time Luo Changxi really came, and when he mentioned this matter, he quickly recruited people, and together with Luo Changxi, he first went to Ranxianglou for questioning.

They were greeted by Mama Zhang, the madam, and Qin Yuniang, the shopkeeper of Shihuadao.

Gong Yining did not show up.

Luo Changxi was a little puzzled, but soon realized that Gong Yining's identity was a secret like hers, probably because she didn't want people to know that she was the boss behind the scenes.But as soon as she thought of this, she suddenly remembered something again. Every time Gong Yining said to her, "Su Wuniang knows me"...

Su Wuniang actually knew Gong Yining?Do you know the identity of the behind-the-scenes boss, Gong Yining?

Thinking of this, Luo Changxi decided to ask clearly.

She stood up and ordered Jing Qing to assist Mr. Cen in interrogating the people in Ranxianglou, while she called Qin Yuniang to another place and asked her where Gongyi Ning was.

Qin Yuniang looked a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she answered: "Miss, she hasn't gotten up yet..."

It's already this hour, still sleeping?

Luo Changxi didn't care so much, so he asked: "Where does she rest? You take me there, I have something to ask her."

Qin Yuniang didn't dare to refuse, so she nodded in agreement.

Speaking of which, Luo Changxi has known Gongyi Ning for so long, but he really doesn't know where Gongyi Ning lives.There are so many floors on this flower path, it seems that none of them seem to be where she lives.Gongyi Ning was also surprised. She is both the boss of Shihuadao and has an undisclosed identity, but she usually does not shy away from anything. Eating sunflower seeds in the lobby of Xianglou, it seems that he is not afraid of being suspicious at all.

Luo Changxi thought a lot along the way, and suddenly realized that he had always trusted Gong Yining extremely, and had never had any doubts about her.Whatever she says, she believes.

I don't know if Gong Yining is too resourceful, or he is too reckless.

Luo Changxi was still thinking wildly, but found that Qin Yuniang didn't leave the gate of Ranxiang Building at all, but took her around to the side behind the building, where there was a small door hidden behind a few locust trees.Qin Yuniang opened the door and walked in first.Luo Changxi followed in and saw that it was not a room, but a stairwell.

It turns out that apart from the main staircase in the outer lobby, the Ranxiang Building also hides such a hidden staircase.From the outside, it should still be the upper floor of the Ranxiang Building, but Luo Changxi really couldn't guess how it was built.

Walking all the way up, it took a full five floors to get there.

This is different from the outside world.

From the outside, the Ranxiang Building has only three floors, and then there is the roof, on which there is an exquisite small pavilion. It is said that there will be guests going up to drink and enjoy the moon in summer nights.The rest of the place is empty, only a fence has been built.

It looks like there are only three floors on the outside, but the inner building has five floors?

Qin Yuniang saw Luo Changxi's doubts, and explained: "Although there are five floors here, it is actually only as high as the outer three floors. Because the lower four floors are built extremely low, they are only used for laying foundations, and do not take Come to live here, this fifth floor is the proper house, my lady has lived here for many years."

Luo Changxi nodded, and then remembered Gongyi Ning's background. Gongyi's family is a family of government agencies. It seems that the house is built like this, and it is also very particular.

Sure enough, Qin Yuniang said again: "Although the fourth floor below is built extremely low, His Highness didn't feel anything all the way up, did he? This is just a way to deceive the eye. There are other more powerful organs in this building, even this time The slave family brought His Highness down once, and if there is no one to lead the way next time, His Highness may still not be able to find the fifth floor. In addition, there is actually a secret passage between the inner building and the outer building. As long as you touch the mechanism, you can go out directly. It's just that there are too many people in the outer building at the moment, so it's better to go around to the back to avoid it."

Having said that, Gong Yining's room has also arrived.

Qin Yuniang knocked on the door softly, and asked, "Miss, are you up yet?"

After a while, an extremely lazy voice came from the door.

"Yu Niang? Come in..."

Qin Yuniang glanced at Luo Changxi and said hesitantly, "And..."

Luo Changxi was still thinking about the door of the mansion, and was annoyed. Before Qin Yuniang could speak, seeing that the door was ajar, he stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and stepped in first.But Luo Changxi regretted it just after walking in.

She didn't expect Gongyining to sleep so dishonestly, so...

Gongyi Ning was still lying on the bed, but the quilt on her body had been kicked aside by her long ago. She was only wearing a crooked peach-colored obscene dress, revealing two smooth jade arms, half of which was white. bare back.It seems that Gongyi Ning's sleeping position is very bad, because although she was wearing a pair of thin silk trousers on her lower body, the trousers have been twisted into a mess by her, one side has grown halfway, and the other side has been curled up to her knees, revealing a big Cut and slender legs...

Luo Changxi took a step back unconsciously, thinking whether he should go out first to avoid the taboo.

But Qin Yuniang misunderstood. Seeing that Gong Yining on the bed didn't respond, she said goodbye and went out, closing the door behind her.

Now, Luo Changxi didn't dare to go out.

Qin Yuniang just said that there are organs everywhere in this building, and she would not dare to act rashly without guidance.

In fact, the reason why Gong Yining didn't respond was because she fell asleep again.

The night before, she had been thinking wildly for most of the night, tossing and turning in bed all night, and barely fell asleep when the sky was bright.At this moment, she was weak all over, and she was extremely sleepy, before she could say a word, she tilted her head and fell asleep again.

Luo Changxi had no choice but to yell, "Gongyi Ning, wake up..."

The person on the bed didn't respond.

Luo Changxi took a few steps closer, and finally saw Gong Yining's face.She tilted her head, closed her eyes tightly, her complexion was a little flushed, and her black hair was scattered by the pillow, both lazy and enchanting.

Luo Changxi shouted again: "Gongyi Ning!"

Gongyi Ning heard someone calling her in a daze, stretched her eyelids, and remembered that Qin Yuniang had come to look for her just now.She lazily turned over and faced outwards, half-opening her eyes and said, "What's the matter?"

But when I turned around and opened my eyes...

"Lo..."

"it's me."

Gong Yining woke up completely, and let out a scream that resounded through the sky.
