Hualuo Chang'an

Gongyi Ning also had some doubts in her heart: Ji Mianyang came to the door that day, why didn't Luo Changxi let her help to investigate?

When she returned to the room, she asked this question.Luo Changxi pondered for a moment, but said: "Ask Jing Qing first to see what she has said to Ji Mianyang."

Jing Qing is reading a book in the study.

This surprised Luo Changxi again. She had known Jing Qing for so many years, but she had never seen Jing Qing interested in books.After a closer look, I found that Jing Qing was not so much reading a book as she was "turning the pages".There was a pile of books in a mess on the desk, she picked up one and flipped through a few pages, then dropped it and took another, as if she was looking for something.

Luo Changxi felt strange and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Jing Qing was so busy that she didn't notice the two of them coming in at all.Luo Changxi's utterance startled her greatly.

"No... nothing."

Gong Yining burst out laughing.

"What else? Since I'm flipping through books, it must have something to do with the book-loving 'Little Sheep'."

"You are not allowed to call her 'Little Sheep'!"

"Don't shout if you don't shout, who cares."

For some reason, Gong Yining and Jing Qing seemed to be born enemies, and they would quarrel when they met.Luo Changxi was both funny and helpless, so he interrupted the dispute between the two with a loud voice, and asked about the business.Probably because of the guard against Ji Mianyang in her tone, Jing Qing immediately became a little dissatisfied after hearing Luo Changxi's question.

"Why doesn't Your Highness trust Xiao...Master Ji? She can definitely be trusted!"

Luo Changxi said seriously: "Now the situation is complicated, no one should be trusted."

When we talked about the business, Jing Qing also restrained his expression, and said seriously: "But in my opinion, Ji Mianyang is indeed credible. When I checked Su Wuniang's matter before, I checked her through the relationship of Jingzhao Mansion .Her family has been scholars for generations. It can be regarded as a scholarly family, and it has a reputation for integrity. It is absolutely impossible to have any relationship with crooked people. Later, I made friends with her and tried many times. After getting along for a long time, naturally... All in all, I'm sure she's a just and kind person."

Although Jing Qing is not well-versed in human affairs, she is definitely cautious and meticulous when dealing with the tasks Luo Changxi entrusts to her.Now that she said so, Luo Changxi also met Ji Mianyang twice, so he believed it more than half.

"As for the Eagle Fort matter..." Jing Qing said again, "I also know that the matter is very important, so I didn't tell her the details. I just told her that His Highness is investigating an old case in southern Xinjiang, which is related to this The person who has lost the clue has no choice but to start with the insider, and the 'insider' is likely to be hiding in the palace... just fooling around with a few words."

After hearing this, Luo Changxi smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not stupid."

"Of course, I've been with His Highness for so many years. Even if I don't have great wisdom, I'm still a bit smart, right?" Speaking of which, Jing Qing was quite pleased, "In short, Your Highness will hand over the investigation of the inner palace files to you. Give it to me, Your Highness only needs to give me a general direction, and let Master Ji and I find it."

Luo Changxi was also relieved at this time, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

But Gong Yining couldn't help laughing at Jing Qing: "You are so active in going to the investigation, is it because you want to 'drink tea and taste books' with that Master Ji every day?"

Hearing this sentence, Jing Qing was about to explode again. "Drinking tea and tasting books" was what Ji Mianyang said to her, how did Gong Yining know about it?unless……

"You...you eavesdropped on our conversation!"

"I've heard it all, what can you do to me?"

"Your Highness—"

"It's useless to call her."

Luo Changxi felt a headache, and after much deliberation, it was better to avoid this battle.

A few days later, when Luo Changxi was still at sunset, when Luo Changxi returned home from the palace, Jing Qing came to her with several thick booklets.

"What is this?"

"This volume is Concubine Yao's family record file, this volume is Concubine Yao's daily life file, and this volume is Concubine Yao's natal family's case file of the Yao family in Qingzhou, all of which are copied from the inner palace notes." Jing Qing He said, "However, regarding the Yao family in Qingzhou... the case file is not detailed. If you want to know more, I'm afraid you have to send someone to Qingzhou."

Gongyi Ning poked her head out from the side, and interjected: "Leave this to me. I will write a letter to the Jinyu Casino in Qingzhou, and check it from there."

"Ah."

Then, several people began to concentrate on studying this Concubine Yao.

Unexpectedly, I searched and searched, but found nothing.

Concubine Yao, whose boudoir name is Qian Yu, is the eldest daughter of Master Yao, the current state capital of Qingzhou. She has been quite famous since she was a child because of her outstanding talent and appearance, and her ability to play music and dance.Five years ago, she was elected to the palace, and she was lucky to dance to "Green Waist".At first she was conferred the title of beauty, then one year later she was conferred the title of Jieyu, and in the next two years she was conferred the title of Concubine Li. After only half a year, the Empress Dowager became seriously ill. Concubine Yao Li went to serve the sick. As a noble concubine, since then, Yao Guifei is the first woman who has no children and enjoys the high position of noble concubine since the establishment of the dynasty.

Just looking at these, one can only know that Concubine Yao is not only a rare beauty, but also a woman with great means and scheming.

But no matter how you look at it, she should not and will not be related to the Eagle Fort on the southern frontier.

In fact, this result did not surprise Luo Changxi.

Since Concubine Yao has the ability to infiltrate the inner palace, how could she leave clues for people to catch her?

The reason why Luo Changxi insisted on investigating was because he was lucky, and first thought of the properties of Eagle Fort seized by Mr. Yin Cen of Jingzhao Mansion.She originally thought that since the background of those shops could be touched with the Eagle Fort, maybe Concubine Yao also missed something.It's a pity that Yao Guifei is obviously a formidable person, thoughtful and cautious in every step.

Jing Qing was very disappointed.

It's because she and Ji Mianyang spent a lot of effort to get these files, but now they are useless.

"Your Highness... Could it be... Could it be that His Highness guessed wrong, so Concubine Yao is fine at all?"

Luo Changxi thought for a while, but still insisted: "There is probably something wrong."

"Can……"

"But what's the matter." Gongyi stared at her blankly, "Concubine Yao is so powerful, she naturally wants to keep a 'clean' case file in the inner palace. What's so unusual?"

"That's what you say, but... the inner palace files have also been checked, what else can I do?" Jing Qing was a little frustrated.

"Wait a little longer." Gong Yining said again, "You've finished your investigation here, but I haven't started my investigation yet. Maybe I can find out something in Qingzhou."

Luo Changxi felt that what Gong Yining said was reasonable, so he nodded and said, "Wait a little longer."

In the twinkling of an eye, it is winter time, the days are shorter and the nights are longer.

Luo Changxi still went to the palace to give lessons to the eldest son of the emperor every day. Fortunately, the eldest son of the emperor, Luo Changzhi, was indeed somewhat talented, with a calm temperament, and treated Luo Changxi with respect and courtesy.Professor Luo Changxi didn't bother.Gong Yining also entered the palace a few times, and it was Aunt Shulan who came out of the palace to pick her up and invited her to drink tea and chat with the fourth princess Luo Changyue.

After coming down several times, Gong Yining gradually noticed it.Luo Changyue knew in her heart that Luo Changxi had a disagreement with her, and knew that Luo Changxi would not listen to what she said, so she called Gong Yining, Luo Changxi's "confidant" into the palace, hoping that Gong Yi would Ning Neng said a few good words for her and "persuaded" Luo Changxi well.

Gongyi Ning agreed very readily every time.

It's just that Luo Changyue didn't know that after Gong Yining returned to the mansion, he had no chance to "persuade".

Luo Changxi and Gong Yining had been separated for a whole day, and finally got tired of being together at night, so there was no time to talk about "persuasion", the most they could do was mention a few things to each other during the day What, they hugged each other and made out.After several times, both of them were no longer as jerky as the first time.Luo Changxi was at his fingertips, but Gong Yining gradually understood how to seduce and tease her, but——

She tried many times, but in the end she still had no choice but to succumb to Luo Changxi.

At this time, Gong Yining deeply regretted in her heart, why didn't she spend more time learning martial arts?But after thinking about it again, with this talent, even if she studied for another ten years, she might not be able to beat Luo Changxi.

It's really not as good as man's calculation!

As for...

What "persuasion"?She had already thrown him out of the sky.

Until one day, it was gloomy early in the morning, the wind was blowing everywhere, and it was freezing cold.

Gong Yining sent Luo Changxi out of the mansion, and stood alone in front of the mansion for a while, feeling restless for some reason, as if something was going to happen.She thought about it, but she couldn't think of it, so she went back to the house with an inexplicable uneasiness.

However, something really happened this day.

When it was almost dark, Luo Changxi returned to the mansion. As soon as he returned to the mansion, he saw Gong Yining with a face full of anxiety.

"what happened?"

"Something happened!" Gongyi Ning said in a panic, "It must be Concubine Yao! She must have come to take revenge on us when she knew we had investigated her!"

Luo Changxi was startled, but still calm, pulled Gong Yining and asked, "Don't worry, tell me what's going on first."

"First, Qingzhou..."

Originally, Gongyi Ning asked Qin Yuniang to write a letter to Jinyu Casino in Qingzhou, asking him to investigate the affairs of Yaozhou Mansion in Qingzhou, especially the past of Yao Qianyu, the eldest daughter of Yaozhou Mansion.However, it was only a few days of investigation over there, and the people who were sent to investigate after that all died one by one.The big boss of the gambling shop over there knew that he had hit an iron plate, so he passed the news here, and at the same time took other routes in Qingzhou to see if there was any other way.Two days later, the Qingzhou Yaozhou government actually used forged credentials to slander the Jinyu Gambling House for hiding stolen goods, defrauding money, and directly sealed up the Jinyu Gambling House.

Gongyi Ning didn't pay much attention to it at first. She has opened Jinyu Casino for several years, and she has encountered many accidents during that time, but in the end she still managed to deal with it.But this time, after all, it involved a lot, and Gong Yining was quite cautious, and planned to ask Qin Yuniang to go to Qingzhou to resolve the matter in person.

Unexpectedly, before Qin Yuniang set off, she received news one after another from gold and jade gambling houses in various places.

"...everything happened." Gongyi said solemnly, "it happened in the past two days, and by various methods... either it was investigated, or it was stolen, robbed, smashed... ...In short, most of the Central Plains are..."

Obviously, this is aimed at them.

Jinyu Casino is Gongyi's painstaking efforts for several years. Now the situation is tragic, and the future life and death are uncertain.Gongyi Ning was anxious and regretful, but she knew very well in her heart that the root cause of the series of accidents in Jinyu Casino was really serious, and she could not solve it with her own strength.

Luo Changxi also understood this, pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, and then said softly: "It's my fault."

"What does it have to do with you..."

"After all, I'm the one who got you involved and hurt your gambling house."

Gongyi Ning has been sad all day, until now...

It seems to be fine all of a sudden.

Maybe it's because she has Luo Changxi now, and she's not alone anymore.

"Luo Changxi..."

"Huh?" Luo Changxi heard that Gong Yining's voice was a little choked, because she was still sad, and said again, "After this matter is over, I won't be the princess anymore, or we can just leave the capital and go In other places, whether you do business or travel around, in short, as you feel happy, we will live in the same way. Okay?"

"it is good……"

Gongyi Ning's nose was sour, and she was almost on the verge of tears.

In fact, after this incident, she actually figured it out.The Jinyu Gambling House was established by her painstaking efforts for many years. If it was in the past, it would have killed her. If it was gone, she would not want to live anymore.It was because she had nothing at that time and was alone, so she wanted to hold as many real things as possible in her hands, so she felt a little confident in her heart.But now, all that is not important, the most important thing is that she already has Luo Changxi.

"Luo Changxi... If I really have nothing, you can't let me go. From now on, I will only have you, and I will rely on you to support me for the rest of my life. Will you?"

"It's sweet."

Luo Changxi answered her this way, bowed his head and kissed her eyes.

But these four words made Gong Yining's heart finally feel at ease, and it came to fruition.

Gong Yining is not a hypocritical woman who only understands romance, and after confirming Luo Changxi's intentions once more, she "lived" again.

"No, no!" She broke free from Luo Changxi's arms again, and said angrily: "Although I said that, and I have planned the future, I am still a little bit unwilling."

"what?"

"Just allow that imperial concubine to bully us, and not allow us to bully us back?"

Seeing her sudden change of attitude, Luo Changxi felt relieved, and said with a smile, "Then what do you want?"

"It's a bit difficult to bully her..." Gong Yining said in a deep voice, "However, since she doesn't want us to investigate, it means that she really has a ghost in her heart, so we must continue to investigate. Besides, why I have to seek justice for those people under me! By the way, there is also... the little sheep!"

"Little sheep?" Luo Changxi said in surprise, "Master Ji? What's wrong with her?"

"I forgot to finish talking to you..." Gong Yining said, "Miss Ji was also unlucky today, and was investigated for no reason. After investigation, it was said that Luku lost the file. As Luku, she The clerk had his own unshirkable responsibility. First, he was dragged out and beaten twenty times, half to death, and then fined a year's salary, to be checked. Jing Qing was so worried that she hurried to visit Ji's house Master Ji has gone."

After hearing this, Luo Changxi's complexion became even more ugly.

"Now... what do we do?"

"Enter the palace."

"Entering the palace?" Gong Yining was a little surprised, "At this time? It's getting dark... What are you doing in the palace?"

"Go..." Luo Changxi said calmly, "Meet that opponent—Concubine Yao."

The author has something to say: Oh poor little sheep... ╮(╯_╰)╭
