Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

How could Li Yuqi notice that Xu Siniang was not accompanied by a servant?
Even before he was stopped by Bian Dongchuan who was sheltering from the rain that day under the eaves of a heavy rain, he had never even noticed a person like Xu Siniang... At this moment, when Sanji mentioned it, he vaguely remembered that day, the corpses covered with white cloth on the ground In the middle, there was indeed a thin little man carrying a large wooden box, which looked quite strenuous.

It's just that the boy was so dry and unattractive, and my mind was not on it at all at that time, so looking back at it now, I still can't think of anything about him.

If what Sanji said is true, there was always a boy beside Xu Siniang, who participated in almost all of Xu Siniang's autopsy work, and then gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, then...this boy must have something. What a secret, so important.Maybe, that sentence... maybe it was spread by that boy.

In short, we must find him.

"Is this true?" he asked, confirming again.

Sanji nodded firmly, "Seriously. Anyone who has been in contact with Xu Siniang knows that when she performs autopsies, she always doesn't like to have other people around her. Even if the King of Heaven comes, she has to wait outside. These years The one who can do the autopsy with her is that boy. As for the boy's name, my subordinates didn't pay attention to it before, so they didn't ask. I only heard people say that he is probably a close disciple of Xu Siniang."

Closed disciple?Li Yuqi sneered in his eyes and didn't take it seriously. If you are in this business... what kind of disciples do you care about?You really put yourself in a position of embarrassment.

"Go to the Yamen." Li Yuqi thought for a moment and decided it was better to be cautious, so he ordered, "No matter what method you use to get that boy's portrait... there will always be someone who has seen him. Find him at all costs. !”

Sang Ji nodded and said yes, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Li Yuqi, "Now that you're out, you go find the Heavenly Master. I've been looking for him for several days. It's time he came to see me."

"Yes."

"Go ahead. At this critical moment, you should keep a low profile and try not to be looked at by others when you leave the palace, so as not to embarrass others... Also wear a disguise when walking in the city, so as not to be taken advantage of."

"Yes."

"Go to Bian Dongchuan again and ask him not to stand up and speak for me at this time, and his colleagues should be more peaceful... Li Yiwei has just come into power, and the new official has taken office with three things in mind. At this time Anyone who jumps out in a hurry will take the sacrificial flag and light it on fire to scare the monkeys."

"Yes."

Li Yuqi thought for a while, but he really had nothing to explain. He lowered his head and opened the travel diary in his hand. He read a few words before waving his hand and saying, "Go."

Sanji bowed his head in salute, retreated silently, took two steps forward, jumped up, and disappeared out of the courtyard... just as quietly as when he came.

The yard became quiet again, not even the sound of the wind. Under the bright sun, there was only the sound of turning the pages of the book in Li Yuqi's hand. I don't know how long it had passed. He raised his head from his travel notes and looked at the words slowly falling in the air. The leaves were slightly lost in thought: He had not deliberately understood Xu Siniang before. It was just a matter of common practice, and it was something that ordinary people could easily pick up. Xu Siniang had a wealthy family before marrying Shen Dingtou, so it was naturally impossible for her to learn these things and marry Shen Ding. In the first two years, I was my husband and my goddaughter, and it was impossible for me to know anything about autopsies... Then why did I suddenly know how to do it...

Unless...that boy is...

The autumn wind swept the fallen leaves, and His Highness the Crown Prince in the courtyard had a deep look in his eyes. His fingertips were tapping the pages of the book in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking. …

The news of the epidemic had leaked out somewhere. Before dinner time that day, the news was already flying in the streets and alleys.This kind of thing is hard to believe. For a time, the major drug stores were overcrowded. It was still unclear what the disease was, and all kinds of medicinal materials had been sold out.Some clever shopkeepers, seeing that this situation is getting worse, are driving up the prices of medicinal materials, preparing to take advantage of this "god-given opportunity" to make a fortune.

In comparison, the marriage trend of Chen You's family seemed so insignificant and no one cared about it.

Although His Majesty reprimanded the Crown Prince for imprisoning everyone in You Mansion, he did not personally issue the order to withdraw the Royal Guards. King Pingyang did not know whether he was concerned about the ownership of the Royal Guards or forgot about it when he was so anxious. In short, , the Royal Forest Army was still guarding the gate of You family, and everyone in You family was still locked inside. The news about Princess You's marriage from outside could not reach You family at all.

But... Dali Temple is different.

Although Dali Temple is also locked up, they are all acquaintances after all. When delivering meals or delivering some daily necessities, they always have a few words, and this matter spread to Master You.

You Feng's face turned completely dark.

It's just that His Majesty's words were just an ambiguous attitude, and he did not clearly express his opinion on the matter of "the young master of the Chen family cannot be humane". It may also be that His Majesty has been ill in bed for a long time and does not even know about it, so You Feng also It's too bad to contradict His Majesty at this juncture and confirm the marriage completely, so we can only wait and delay step by step. The wedding date has not yet been decided, and the future is still unknown.

Even if the wedding date is set, as long as it is not clear that the matchmaker is marrying to the Chen family, there is still an opportunity to regret it.Even if the reputation is not good... what kind of reputation can be worse than being married to such a thing?At worst, the You family will support her for the rest of her life!

That night, in an empty courtyard of Dali Temple, someone saw Mr. You standing there in trance. When he went on duty the next morning, that person saw Mr. You standing in the same place and in the same posture. , different from last night, the eyebrows seemed to be stained with autumn frost, making it look even colder.

……

One day and one night is enough time for public opinion to continue to ferment.

Rumors that someone in the city was infected with the epidemic got out of control. People from the yamen went around the streets posting notices, explaining over and over to the people that these were just false rumors, urging the people not to panic, to live as usual, and not to rob the city of medicinal materials. So much.

But...it doesn't help.

Ning Xiuyuan left Xi Yu and Xi An behind, and repeatedly told Ji Wuyan not to act impulsively, but he turned around and was called away.Seeing Ning Xiuyuan stepping out of Ji Wuyan's yard and still at Ji's house, Xi An already felt a cold chill on her neck.Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw Miss Ji slowly getting up from her imperial concubine's couch, dusting off her skirt and blouse, stroking her broken hair around her ears, and calling out with infinite tenderness, "Xian..."

Miss Ji had kept her paws away all day and then showed them out.
