Chapter 111 The Case of Qixiang 9
In Yi'an Prince's Mansion, the summer rain bursts, which wet the vegetation in the courtyard, and also coated the stone steps with a layer of luster.
The prince resumed his brocade clothes, walked gracefully, and came to the main house of Yanming Courtyard, and happened to see Yan Mo and Qi Yun discussing the case.

Qi Yun: "The ladies of Fangfu drink a bowl of soy milk every day to keep their faces beautified, which means that Mrs. Qingyu is not allergic to soybeans."

"Mr. Qi noticed it too." Yan Mo put down his teacup and said, "Yesterday I hid in a tree and observed that Qing Yu first asked about the ingredients of the small jar of incense, and then picked up the spice and rubbed it on her hand to test the incense. There was no discomfort, so Qing Yu's death should have nothing to do with Xiao Can Xiang."

Qi Yun held his chin and pondered: "Well, did she die from allergies? What else was she allergic to?"

"Brother Jin?" Yan Mo spotted the prince outside the door.

"Miss Yan." Seeing that others were present, the prince called out.

With a clear mind, Qi Yun got up and bowed, "Caomin has seen His Highness."

"Mr. Qi doesn't need to be too polite." The prince smiled.

"Your Highness is really small. In front of Your Highness, the grass-roots dare not call themselves Mr. Qi Yun looked at Yan Mo, and continued to smile, "That. The grass-roots will leave first and you can talk slowly." After bowing again, he exited the main house .

"Brother Jin." Yan Mo got up to greet him.

The prince raised his bright smiling face and said, "Little Yan'er, I'm here on invitation, and I want to see the palace's picture album."

"Ah~Hanzi's painting album~" Yan Mo went to the bookshelf to search, took the painting album and returned to the coffee table, the prince had already sat down.

"That's all." Yan Mo arranged the prince in order, and made a gesture of invitation.

The prince picked up the first book and started to read it. After reading a few pages, his eyes became brighter and brighter!
"Wonderful! Wonderful!!" The prince praised, "The folk crafts are really amazing!" He carefully flipped through the pages, carefully reading the stories in the book.
"When I met Brother Jin at the Huanyu Teahouse that day, I was thinking that if Brother Jin likes storytelling, he should also like this kind of picture book." Yan Mo poured a cup of tea for the other party.

"Little Yan'er is really careful, I like it very much!" The prince raised his head from the pages of the book, put down the album and pressed the two pages he saw with his hands, and said happily, "This is the first time I have seen such an interesting album. !"

Yan Mo took out a bookmark from the pages of other albums, handed it to the prince, and said, "This is a leftover defective product. If Brother Jin doesn't mind, use it as a bookmark."

The prince took the bookmark and put it in the picture album. Although the picture album is wonderful, but today his mind has been lingering on that matter. After thinking about it secretly, he asked cautiously: "Yan'er, I know the relationship between you and brother Ming. The marriage contract is just a transaction. Brother Ming, did he go too far?"

"Smelly fox! I shouldn't have believed him!!" Yan Mo was furious when he thought of Qi Ming taking away the red gauze headband!

Hearing this, the prince said nervously: "What did brother Ming do to you?!"

"Don't mention it! That fox hid my hairband and hasn't returned it yet!!" Yan Mo gritted his teeth and said, "I knew it was my birthday gift! He is the real shameless!!!"

The prince blinked his beady eyes. He looked confused, it turned out to be just a hairband
"Birthday gift headband," the prince recalled, "could it be the gold-rimmed red gauze headband that the second master gave you?"

"That's right, that's the one!" Yan Mo said seriously, "I thought that the thing from ten years ago might not be found anymore. I didn't expect it to be here with the fox!"

"Is my concubine suing the king in front of the emperor?" Qi Ming stepped into the room gracefully with a hand behind his hand and a handbag. In the golden red light, he moved his wrist to hide the hair band, and came to Yan Mo, sitting next to the prince.

Yan Mo gave Qi Ming a disdainful look and said, "If you want to be the king of thieves so much, you still need a straw hat!"

Qi Ming looked at Yan Mo with a puzzled expression. He didn't understand the connection between the king of thieves and the straw hat, and then said with a slight smile, "I'm just your little thief!" As he spoke, he put the food box on the coffee table , wisps of cold air drifted out of the box.
"Huh!" Yan Mo snorted disdainfully, the food box attracted her attention, she took out the ice products and distributed them, specially gave the smallest one to Qi Ming, and the biggest one to the prince.

"." Qi Ming looked at the ice cream in front of him, was speechless for a while, and then said, "Brother Huang, how was the interrogation of Eunuch Du?"

The prince swallowed a mouthful of dessert and said: "His injury is no longer a problem, I have expelled him from the palace."

"Brother Huang!" Qi Ming was slightly surprised, "He is"

"Don't you want brother Duan to lose his mother just like us?" After the prince finished speaking, he looked up at Qi Ming.

Qi Ming: "But if Concubine Qi fails once, there will be a second time, her."

Prince: "It's enough to cut off her thoughts, why put her to death, Brother Duan is still young after all"

Qi Ming: "No! Brother Huang is kind, just let Concubine Qi go, you will be in danger in the palace!"

The prince looked at Qi Ming, chuckled lightly and said: "That's why I'm here, let's think of a way, how can we stop Concubine Qi's thoughts."

Qi Ming: "It's not easy to break one's obsession. What's more, Concubine Qi's brother, Mr. Deng, who is in the Ministry of Officials, is already her help."

Prince: "I'm thinking, how can I take this opportunity to get my father to confer on Brother Duan the title of prince, so that Concubine Qi and Brother Duan can go to the fief together."

Qiming: "This method won't work. The concubine and the prince will go to the fief together when the new emperor ascends the throne. With the suspicious nature of the father, the emperor will inevitably doubt the purpose of the emperor's brother. What's more, the concubine Qi is still charming, how about the father?" Are you willing?"

The prince sighed lightly: "Brother Ming is right, what should we do? Born in the royal family, can't we protect the brotherhood?"

Yan Mo: "Brother Jin really has a kind heart. This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. The key now is how to guard against Concubine Qi."

Qi Ming: "Fortunately, in the Palace of Joy, we arranged eyeliner early. When the emperor returns to the palace, the younger brothers will also go together to visit the empresses of the palaces."

"In the Palace of Joy, who is your eyeliner?" Yan Mo asked curiously while eating ice cream.

The prince lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "In the past ten years, it is fortunate that Brother Ming has not been idle."

Seeing the curiosity in Yan Mo's eyes, Qi Ming smiled and said, "Ever since the birth of the Twelfth Imperial Brother, Concubine Qi's ambition has been gradually revealed. For the safety of the Imperial Brother, I naturally arranged someone."

"Who?" Yan Mo looked at Qi Ming and asked seriously.

Looking at each other, Qi Ming just smiled: "You will know when the time is right."

"Oh oh oh oh!!!" King Xing appeared outside the door, looking dissatisfied with the ice products on the coffee table, "Brother Prince!! Brother Erhuang!! Why don't you call Xiao Wang when you enjoy the ice products!! "

Xing Wang took three steps and did two steps. He came to the coffee table and poked his head to pick out the ice products in the food box: "Well, Lan Xue is really ingenious! There are so many ice products, and there are no duplicates! If there is a chance, Xiao Wang will decide I want to see you!" As he spoke, he picked up a green ice-skin dumpling, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it with one bite!
"Brother Lin, that's..." The prince didn't have time to stop
"Ahhhh——" King Xing had already swallowed it, and the pungent taste made him burst into tears, and he said aggrievedly, "Zhesi Shenma. Haha! Haha! Haha!"

The crown prince squeezed out the word embarrassing and said: "Dongyang's new tribute mustard. Brother, are you okay?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Hahahahaha~" Yan Mo listened to King Xing's regional accent, laughing so hard that his stomach ached, "It makes you hungry! I have never tasted such a rare creative dessert!"

"Did you make it? Si Xiaowang mentioned that you blocked it!" King Xing groaned, very dissatisfied, "Lan Xue must have something to do with you!"

Yan Mo said with a smile: "Dongyang's wasabi, elder brother Aoki also brought some back a few years ago, I think the taste is quite special! You can't taste it!"

"." The corners of King Xing's mouth tugged down, tears dripping uncontrollably, "Guo Lansi, the grass is blind and in a trance, and the mouth is not special!"

"My sister made it specially for Princess Yi'an." Bai Xue came to the door with the soup, looked at the situation inside the house and said, "My sister thought that the princess might like it, so she tried this new food. Your Highness, this is today. medicinal food."

Prince: "Come in."

Bai Xue leaned forward and walked in, handing the decoction to the prince.

After the prince drank the medicinal food, he said: "Brother Lin, drink more water. It will be fine in a while."

King Xing looked at Bai Xue and said bitterly: "After returning to work, Xiao Wang must be a good mentor, so that Lan Xue will not follow Dongxi with common sense!!"

After a few breaths, the prince began to yawn: "Aha~ I have tried it too, if you eat a little, the taste of mustard is really unique. Aha~"

"What kind of medicine is this?" Yan Mo asked curiously.

Bai Xue: "A tonic for calming the mind and calming the mind."

Yan Mo: "Is this the same medicine that His Highness used to drink?"

Bai Xue: "Yes."

Yan Mo: "Why did the medicine take effect so quickly today? It took effect as soon as I drank it?"

Bai Xue's eyes dodged for a moment, and she thought, His Highness seemed to be getting worse recently, so he had to increase the dose of medicine.
"Maybe I'm tired from running around today, Your Highness has a regular schedule at night, and it's time to go to bed." Bai Xue said with downcast eyes.

"I'm not sleepy yet, let's talk for a while. Aha" the prince yawned.
King Xing poured a few cups of tea and said: "Prince, all of you have a good face. Today I will stop playing early, and I will see you tomorrow! Anyway, Xiao Wang Si will not go back to work so soon!"

"It's really getting late." Qi Ming got up and said, "Bai Xue, send Brother Huang back to Donglin Courtyard."

".Mmm. No!" The prince grabbed Qi Ming's clothes and said, "I want to sleep with you tonight!"

Everyone's eyes widened! !

The prince showed a bright smile! !Xindao, in this way, no matter what Brother Ming does, Ben Gong will know!Let's see if you have any chance to teach Yan'er bed fragrance! ! !

"Xiao Wang wants too!!!" Xing Wang excitedly grabbed another piece of Qi Ming's clothes! ! !

Yan Mo raised one corner of his mouth: "Fox, you are quite popular!"

Qi Ming looked left and right at his brothers, helplessly blushing with shame!
In the night, the raindrops continued to kiss everything, and the mist from the distant mountains dispersed slightly. Under the rain, a swaying figure entered the gate of Fangfu. Small smooth circles were formed on the glazed wooden board. He picked up the wine jar in his hand and poured it vigorously, giggling for a while and crying for a while.
The butler led the male servant to the outside of the room. He gave a signal with his eyes, and the male servant entered the room and lit incense for calming the nerves. After a while, the room was filled with smoke, like a fairyland
"Go! You all go!" Fang Liulang drove the butler and the servants drunkenly!
The butler signaled the two maidservants to stay, and led the servants away.

"Go! You all go!! I don't need you! I don't need you!!" Fang Liulang was in a daze. I don’t understand! Only Qingyu knows!! Not me! Not me!! Not me.”

"Liulang~ Why did you come back? Come on! My concubine serves you to bed~~"

"Liulang~ The concubine is here, let the concubine undress you~"

"Liulang~ I want to kiss, Liulang, I want to hug~~"

The illusory girls scrambled to surround them!Fang Liulang frantically swung his sleeves, trying to drive them away!And what "drives away" is just the air.

"You are not her, bring her here! I only want her!!" Fang Liulang narrowed his eyes. The cigarettes in the room seemed to have magical powers and were unpredictable. He faintly saw a red-clothed figure appearing in the air. At the door of the room, I grabbed the two maidservants and pulled them to the bed, "Hahahaha! It's you! What I want is you!!"

"Master! Don't do this! Master!!" The two maids tried to resist, but Fang Liulang was stronger!

Anshenxiang's cigarettes are thick and sometimes light, and Fang Liulang, whose temperament has changed drastically, catches the person in front of him, and it is another storm.
The next day, insects sang and birds sang, and the belly turned white. In the Yi'an Palace, the sun was scattered in the courtyard, waking up everything. Yan Mo got up early and was practicing morning exercises in the courtyard. The weather after the rain was particularly refreshing.

In the side room, Qi Ming opened his eyes with blue and black eye circles, sighed silently, picked up a foot that was pressing on his chest, and ruthlessly flung it away!Those were King Xing's feet. He was lying on the other side of the bed, blowing his nose and sleeping soundly!

Qi Ming got up halfway, and carefully pulled his sleeves, trying not to wake up the prince, because the other party held his sleeves and slept all night.
Qi Ming finally got up from the hell of the bed, changed his clothes, and walked out of the room with eyes narrowed.

The accompanying maid stepped forward and brought face wash water, Qi Ming applied a hot towel to his eyes, and finally eased the soreness, before he came to the courtyard with his hair loose, and saw Yan Mo practicing.

Both Baixue and Zhushui came to serve.

"The villain pays his respects to the lord." Bai Xue saluted Qi Ming.

"Brother Huang hasn't woken up yet, I'll go in later, and Brother Nine Emperors will be handed over to you." Qi Ming said and came to Yan Mo's side, "Yan'er, did you sleep well last night?"

"What kind of efficiency is Jing Zhaoyin?" Yan Mo stopped his posture, "There was no news yesterday afternoon, and no news this morning?! It's just a question!"

Qi Ming: "Jingzhao Mansion has a lot of cases, give Jingzhao Yin some more time."

"Jingzhao Mansion has many cases, I believe it!" Yan Mo said angrily, "Jingzhao Yin is so stupid, I don't believe it! Why don't I try it myself!"

Qi Ming: "You have no right or position. In Beijing, it is not appropriate to interrogate suspects in other cases."

"Brother Aoki is still in prison, how can I sleep well?" Yan Mo turned around and took the handkerchief in Zhusai's hands to wipe off his sweat, before entering the room, "I don't care, I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion to inquire after breakfast. fan!"

"My lord will accompany you." Qi Ming followed Yan Mo's pace, his soft black hair fluttering, and he said to the maid behind him, "Breakfast."

In Fang's mansion, Fang Liulang woke up from the messy bed. He pressed his aching temple, got up and saw that there were two maidservants sleeping beside him!He quickly got up from the bed and got dressed!
He slowly approached the edge of the bed, tested the breath of the two people on the bed, and he was relieved when he found that they were still alive
In addition to hickey marks, there are four shallow fingerprints on the maidservant's neck. The two merge with each other, mottled and visible
Fang Liulang hurriedly got up and searched. He took the rouge and gouache, and put makeup on the two maidservants to cover up the marks on their necks.

In Jingzhao Mansion, Wu Zuo and the medical officer came to Jing Zhaoyin with five small jars of incense and inspection documents, and reported the inspection results. The five bottles of small jars of incense were all non-toxic.

"What?! Really non-toxic?" Jing Zhaoyin asked jumpingly, "Could it be true that what the princess said, Qingyu died of an allergic reaction? Let's go! I want to interrogate the wives of Fangfu!"

Jing Zhaoyin came to the prison and interrogated the four wives kindly, but they refused to say anything more, thinking that the silver in his pocket came from the Fang Mansion, so he didn't want to ask more questions. He went back to the lobby In the middle, watching the inspection documents paced back and forth.
Outside the lobby, a slender figure appeared. It was Fang Liulang. After he entered the lobby and saluted, he took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve!

Jing Zhaoyin's eyes glowed, and he greeted him, "Master Fang wants to bring back his wives?"

"Qingyu is my favorite concubine, please close the case as soon as possible!" Fang Liulang said with a silver ticket!
Jing Zhaoyin's hand that wanted to take the bank note stopped in mid-air, wondering: "Mr. Fang, the case was closed with poison, no amount of money you give is useless!" He flicked his sleeves and said, "King Yi'an intervened It’s difficult for me to handle it! Besides, the small pot of incense is non-toxic, so the inspection paperwork is here!”

Fang Liulang took the document and took a look: "But Qingyu does have symptoms of poisoning!"

Jing Zhaoyin: "Qingyu probably didn't die from poisoning! It seems to be called... allergies!"

Fang Liulang: "Allergy?"

Jing Zhaoyin explained: "It's just too sensitive. Ordinary people will be fine if they touch or eat it, but some people will have accidents if they touch it!"

Fang Liulang thought for a while: "I don't know what Qingyu is allergic to."

Jing Zhaoyin: "It's not important! Mr. Fang wanted to close the case as soon as possible, so he pushed the allergies up! As for me, I will convict Mr. Qing of a minor crime for accidental negligence, and pass the scene. Maybe this matter will be fine." It's over!"

Fang Liulang suddenly enlightened: "I know what to do, thank you sir!"

"Hey." Jing Zhaoyin stretched out his hand to take the bank note, "Mr. Fang is a smart man, if you and I cooperate, as long as we can get things done, I will be happy to see it done!!" As he spoke, he stuffed the bank note into his sleeve. During the process, he took back the inspection documents from Fang Liulang.

"King Yi'an is here—" At this time, outside the lobby, the voice of summoning officials came!
A group of people came to Jingzhao Mansion just like yesterday, Qi Ming was followed by the yawning King Xing, followed by Yan Mo, Jin Huwei and Mr. Qi.

Jing Zhaoyin rushed out to greet him, bowed and said, "See you, my servant."

"My lord, don't be too polite, tell me how the case is progressing?" Qi Ming said as he led everyone into the lobby.

Fang Liulang hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Jing Zhaoyin, who followed, handed over the inspection documents in his hand and reported: "This is the inspection result of Xiaoguanxiang, and it is not poisonous."

Before Qi Ming read the following document carefully, he heard
"Report—" Several patrolling officials rushed into the lobby.
The leader gasped and said, "My lord, the dismembered body of a girl was found in an alley in the east of the city! This is the evidence thrown beside the body!" The man handed over something.

Yan Mo took a closer look and saw that it was a small jar of incense covered in mud! !
