The Crown Prince's Mansion beat to death a mother-in-law who contradicted the Crown Princess. I heard that she was the personal nun beside the concubine. People who originally thought that the Crown Prince's concubine was more favored than the Crown Princess immediately changed their tune.
When the news reached Meng Hetong's ears, his first reaction was that Xu Qingmo must have done something again. He found an excuse to come to Xu Yanquan and wanted to see Xu Qingmo, but he didn't expect it.
"Mo Mo? She went shopping today!" Xu Yanquan looked at the famous calligraphy and paintings that Meng Hetong found for him without even raising his head.
"Shopping? When did she get this hobby?" Meng Hetong was a little surprised.
"After she was injured, my mother was very strict and didn't allow anyone to wield swords or swords. When she had nothing to do, she would go out for a walk, sometimes to the theater, sometimes to listen to books. Why, don't you go to these places often? , why haven't we met yet?" Xu Yanquan raised his eyes and looked at Meng Hetong.
Meng Hetong raised his eyebrows: "That's your sister, not mine. Why should I keep watching where she goes all day long?"
Xu Yanquan was noncommittal.
Meng Hetong did not stay at Ningyuan Houfu, but went back after staying for a while. On the way back, he always felt something was strange, so he asked Yusheng to check and see where Xu Qingmo had been these days!
Yusheng didn't ask any more questions and followed Xu Yanquan's instructions to investigate.
But when Yusheng checked into a restaurant, he saw Qu Lian next to Xu Qingmo walking out of a medicine shop.
Yusheng hurriedly followed, but was caught by Qu Lian in an alley: "Why are you following me?"
"It's me, it's me, sister, it's me!" Yusheng quickly begged for mercy.
When Qu Lian heard a familiar voice, she let go of Yusheng's hand and bent down to take a closer look. Only then did she realize that the person standing in front of her was Meng Hetong's personal bodyguard: "Yusheng, why are you here?"
Yusheng smiled: "I happened to pass by and saw you sneaking forward. I thought you were hiding some treasure here, so I followed you. Unexpectedly, I didn't see the treasure. I was beaten by you first!"
Qu Lian was not that easy to deceive. She looked at Yusheng for a long time, then frowned slightly: "Is it the prince who asked you to come to our girl?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Yusheng told the truth: "My eldest son went to the house to discuss things with the girl. Unexpectedly, he didn't meet the girl. The eldest son felt strange, so he asked me to look for her!"
"Then you followed me?" Qu Lian frowned.
"Oh, I'm worried about you too..."
"You're so sweet-talking!" Qu Lian kicked Yu Sheng, "Our girls naturally have their own things to do. Don't follow me anymore, or I'll break your legs!"
Yusheng didn't dare to provoke this tigress, so he could only stand there obediently and watch Qu Lian walk away from under his nose.
After Qu Lian left, Yu Sheng hurried back to his house.
"You mean, Qu Lian went to the medicine store?" Xu Yanquan looked at Yu Sheng and frowned slightly.
Yusheng nodded: "Yes, I watched her come out of the pharmacy with my own eyes, and she even grabbed medicine in her hand. I asked the people at the pharmacy and heard that the medicine she grabbed was for anti-serum and fever, and it seemed to be for injured people. For human use!”
Meng Hetong frowned, and then walked around the room with his hands behind his back: "For the injured?"
Yusheng nodded: "Not bad!"
After a while, Meng Hetong suddenly raised his head: "Come on, take me to that shop!"
Yusheng didn't know what was going on, but he still took Meng Hetong to the pharmacy.
Meng Hetong stood at the door of the drug store for a long time, and finally went to the nearest small house. The house has two entrances and two exits. It is not big, but it is also in a place like the capital where there is so much money and so much land. People without any savings cannot afford to live in such a house. house.
Meng Hetong found a place to sit in the corner, where he could directly see the courtyard. The two waited for almost half an hour when they saw Qu Lian pouring the medicine residue at the door.
When Yusheng saw Qu Lian, he was really surprised. You know, there were so many residents around here. He really couldn't imagine how Meng Hetong found this place.
Qu Lian also saw them while pouring out the medicine dregs.
When Qu Lian came back, she told Xu Qingmo about her encounter with Yu. She expected that Meng Hetong would come looking for her, so she told Qu Lian in advance that if Meng Hetong came looking for her, she would let him in.
Qu Lian walked up to Meng Hetong and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
"Does your girl know that I'm coming?" Meng Hetong looked at Qu Lian's unsurprised look and couldn't help but ask?
"The girl said that if the prince comes, please come in!" Qu Lian said softly.
Meng Hetong smiled and then walked in: "You girls have always been smart!"
"It's not a bad idea if you can come here!" Xu Qingmo was sitting in the yard. When he saw Meng Hetong, he was not surprised at all.
"I know everything about everything in the capital. This is the only place in the neighborhood where there are houses for rent!" Meng Hetong said with a smile, "Who did you pick up?"
"The person who detained me earlier!" Xu Qingmo said lightly, "I didn't kill him, I faked his death and dragged him back!"
Meng Hetong was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Aren't you afraid that people from the government will find out about this?"
"Why should a dead person worry about being investigated by the government?" Xu Qingmo raised his eyebrows, "And I killed him with my own hands!"
"Why did you keep him? Has he met the people behind the scenes?" Meng Hetong couldn't understand Xu Qingmo's thoughts.
Xu Qingmo glanced at Meng Hetong, then smiled: "His roasted sweet potatoes are delicious!"
"Ah?" Meng Hetong was a little confused, "What?"
"I wanted to save him, so I saved him, that's all!" Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong, "He hasn't seen anyone behind the scenes, but I want to save him!"
Although Meng Hetong didn't understand why, he didn't say much: "Do you need help?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "No need, I'm already awake, just have a good rest!"
Meng Hetong didn't ask any more questions, but just glanced at the tea in Xu Qingmo's hand: "Your tea is really bad!"
"Really?" Xu Qingmo was stunned for a moment, "When it's more bitter, you can drink snow water with moldy tea leaves. It's not so squeamish!"
Meng Hetong frowned, then sat down next to Xu Qingmo: "You made it sound like you had drunk it!"
Xu Qingmo looked at Meng Hetong, then raised his eyebrows slightly: "How do you know I haven't drunk it?"
Meng Hetong paused, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
"Drink!" Xu Qingmo poured a cup of tea for Meng Hetong, "This is the only tea here. If you like it, drink it or not!"
Meng Hetong laughed angrily, but still picked up the cup of bitter and astringent tea.
