The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

The warm breath sprayed on Xiao Xixi's ears, making her feel numb.

A low and pleasant man's voice hovered in her ears, like a feather fan, gently sweeping across her eardrums.

So much so that Xiao Xixi even forgot to listen to what he sang, only that the man's voice was so damn good!

When she came back to her senses, Luo Qinghan had finished singing.

He was looking at her fixedly, his deep eyes seemed to devour her.

Xiao Xixi blinked and then applauded.

"Your Highness sings so well!"

Luo Qinghan: "This is Gu's first time singing."

Xiao Xixi laughed: "Then I'm really honored!"

Luo Qinghan patted her head: "Go to sleep."

Hearing the prince's singing as he wished, Xiao Xixi stopped making noise, lay down obediently, and slept beautifully with the prince.

The next day the prince went to the court as usual, and then returned to the Mingguang Palace.

As soon as Dong Mingchun entered the Mingguang Palace, he couldn't wait to take out a file.

"His Royal Highness, this is a file sent from Qiluo County. The magistrate of Qiluo County, Niu Hong, is dead!"

Luo Qinghan frowned.

He remembered that this Niu Hong was Dong Mingchun's cousin. Niu Hong once wrote a letter to Dong Mingchun, and that letter caused Dong Mingchun's death, and then the letter disappeared mysteriously.

Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand to take the file and read it.

According to the records in the dossier, Niu Hong accidentally fell into a pond and drowned after being drunk.

Wu Zuo performed an autopsy on Niu Hong and determined that he died of drowning.

Others testified that they saw Niu Hong drinking before his death.

Dong Mingchun said: "Niu Hong really likes to drink two drinks, but he has always been more restrained in his life. Even if he drinks, he has never been drunk."

Luo Qinghan put down the file: "Do you suspect that Niu Hong's death is strange?"

"Wei Chen does have this doubt."

If Dong Mingchun hadn't received the letter from Niu Hong, perhaps Dong Mingchun would not have much doubts about Niu Hong's death. After all, there are many accidents in this world. Who can guarantee that Niu Hong will never be drunk in his life?

Coincidentally, not long after Niu Hong sent the letter, he suddenly died.

Thinking of the cause and effect, Dong Mingchun felt that something was wrong.

Luo Qinghan: "Since you have this doubt, send someone to Qiluo County to check."

Generally, when local officials die suddenly, the Ministry of Punishment has the right to send people to conduct local investigations. This is a normal operation.

Dong Mingchun said with a bitter face: "Niu Hong's body has been buried. Even if we send people to Qiluo County to investigate now, it is estimated that nothing will be found."

Luo Qinghan thought about it.

Since the matter started from Qiluo County, then start the investigation from Qiluo County.

"If Niu Hong is dead, the imperial court should send another person to take over the post of county magistrate. Then you can choose a reliable person, let the officials make some accommodation, and put someone in Qiluo County."

Dong Mingchun felt that this was a solution, so he handed over to answer: "Wei Chen will do it now."

Then he drew another piece of paper from his sleeve.

"His Royal Highness, in the letter from Niu Hong, there is a strange seal pattern. According to the memory, Wei Chen tried his best to restore the pattern."

Luo Qinghan took the paper. There was a circular pattern drawn on the paper. At first glance, it looked like a flower, but if you looked closely, it looked like some kind of strange ancient script.

Dong Mingchun said: "Wei Chen originally thought it was Niu Hong's personal seal, so he didn't take it to heart. In retrospect, he always felt that it was not a personal seal, but more like a family emblem."

In the Dasheng Dynasty, as long as it is a famous family, it will have its own family emblem, which is one of the symbols of family inheritance.

Luo Qinghan asked, "Have you checked which family's emblem it is?"

Dong Mingchun: "We have checked it out. Among the big families that are recorded today, no one uses this clan emblem, not even a similar clan emblem."

Luo Qinghan didn't say anything else, indicating that he can retire.

After Dong Mingchun left, Luo Qinghan quietly looked at the pattern on the paper. For some reason, he always felt that the pattern looked a bit familiar.

It seems that many years ago, he had seen similar patterns.

He tried to search his memories, but found nothing.

...

Today, Mrs. Xue brought her youngest daughter Xiao Zhilan into the palace to visit Xiao Xixi.

When Xiao Zhilan saw her sister, she was very happy, but at the same time she was a little nervous.

She took out the sachet in her arms, handed it to Xiao Xixi, and said in a milky voice.

"Sister, this is the sachet I made for you."

Xiao Xixi took the sachet. The little girl's craftsmanship was limited, and the sachets she made were far less delicate than those made by embroiderers, but it was her heart.

"Thank you Xiaolan, I like this sachet very much."

In front of Xiao Zhilan, Xiao Xixi hung the sachet around her waist.

Xiao Zhilan's dangling heart finally fell.

She was originally worried that her sister would not like this sachet, but fortunately, her sister did not dislike her poor craftsmanship.

Xiao Zhilan said shyly: "I'm studying female red recently. I'll make you something else in the future. You can tell me anything you like, and I'll help you."

Xiao Xixi thought about it seriously: "Then make me another handkerchief."

Xiao Zhilan nodded vigorously, as if he had received some important task, and promised very seriously.

"I'll make it for you when I go back, and I'll definitely do it well!"

Xiao Xixi touched her head: "Xiao Lan is really good."

Xiao Zhilan was so embarrassed that she blushed when she was praised.

Baoqin put melon and fruit snacks in front of them, and Baoqin also specially made a cup of sweet milk tea for Xiao Zhilan.

Xiao Zhilan took a sip and suddenly felt astonished.

"What is this? It's delicious!"

Baoqin smiled and said, "This is milk tea, made with milk and tea."

Xiao Xixi picked up a piece of mung bean cake and handed it to her.

"This one is delicious too, try it."

Xiao Zhilan took the mung bean cake and took a bite.

Compared with other mung bean cakes that have a lighter taste, Baoqin's mung bean cakes are sweeter.

Children like sweet things, and Xiao Zhilan is no exception.

She sincerely praised: "This mung bean cake is delicious, much better than my family's mung bean cake!"

Xue Shi was very helpless: "You eat less. If you are full now, you will not be obedient to eat again."

Xiao Zhilan has always been more obedient. After she ate a piece of mung bean cake, she didn't eat anything else, she just drank milk tea quietly.

Xiao Xixi glanced at her, then got up and went back to the house, taking out a hand-made amulet.

She stuffed the amulet into a small pink purse.

Xiao Xixi returned to the side hall and handed the small purse to Xiao Zhilan.

"You gave me a sachet just now. This is a gift for you. You should keep it close to your body. Don't lose it."

Xiao Zhilan didn't expect to receive a gift from her sister, and she was instantly overjoyed.

She took the small purse with both hands and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, sister!"
