"It seems to be a cemetery in the east of the city."

"The temple?"

When I heard this, I paused the chopsticks in my hand slightly, and looked up at the maid: "The emperor went to the temple in the east of the city, what did you say?"

"I don't know this servant. Before dawn, someone went to the emperor to report the matter, and then the emperor went there in a hurry."

“…”

For a moment, my breathing became a little tense.

Could it be that it was Nangong Lizhu's news? She really wanted to become a monk. Pei Yuanhao's people found out, so they wanted to stop her?

I asked, "When did the Emperor go out?"

"It's been half an hour."

"oh……"

Then it seems that I can't catch up.

Then I can only wait for news in the mansion - if it was really Nangong Lizhu.

Seeing that I had nothing to ask, the maid bowed and stepped out. I thought for a while, and looked up, but saw Miaoyan slowly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand. The piece of egg I just picked up for her was also lying coldly in the bowl, without moving.

I asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you eat again?"

She stared at the bowl in front of her for a long time, as if she was about to stare into the bottom of the bowl, and after a while, she said, "Mom, is your father looking for it again? Looking for that Concubine Nangong?"

"Maybe it is."

I looked at her intently, looking at her face with a little solemn and even a confused look, and didn't seem to be about to lose her temper willfulness, so I asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you know about this before you came?"

“…”

"Can't you let go of this matter yet? Didn't you already explain it to you?"

“…”

She was quiet for a while before she said calmly: "I didn't say anything."

I picked up a little more dishes and put them in her bowl, and said softly with a smile: "Miaoyan, you have grown up, and you need to slowly understand many things, and you cannot blindly let adults understand you, because we really have too many things to deal with. You need to grow up faster and be more sensible than other children."

She reached out to hold the bowl again, and after a while, she nodded gently: "I know."

After breakfast, I asked her to stay in the room and read the book for a while. She obediently agreed. I went to Qinghan's place and he said, "I heard that the emperor went out early in the morning."

"Well, I went to a cemetery in the east of the city."

"Can Concubine Nangong--"

"Maybe," I said, looking at him: "I hope she's there."

"If I really know her, then Yao Lao would be much more relieved."

I nodded gently, sat there with the armrest of the chair. Qinghan looked at me and said, "Why, look at your appearance, are you going out again today?"

"Well, but I want to wait for the news from the emperor to come back first."

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it was Silang Jiangcuo. I want to ask him if he wanted to buy a green mine."

Qinghan smiled and shook his head: "I advise you not to go."

"Why?"

"You go to Slang Jiangcuo so frequently, aren't you really afraid that he will be suspicious? Didn't you say that yesterday? He is different from when he was a child, so he is much more cautious."

I immediately frowned.

If you think about it carefully, it is true that when I met him by chance that night, I had a very cold attitude. I went to see him yesterday, which was for business, but now the business has been negotiated. If you want to come to me, anyone will think I am a little over-inspired.

Qinghan poured a cup of tea and put it to my hand, and said, "Don't give him some wrong hints."

I immediately said, "I don't."

"I know you don't, but you can easily misunderstand him."

"... Then, what should I do? Should I just ignore Qingmin's affairs?"

"Of course not." He walked to the chair on the other side, sat down slowly with the armrest, thought for a while, and then said, "You can't be in a hurry for a moment, and I think you're going the wrong way."

"My way? What does it mean?"

"You think, Slang Jiangcuo refused to say yesterday. If you exposed your true purpose, he would definitely not tell you. But our real goal is not him, but the person who wants to buy the green mine, right?"

"That's right."

"So, it's useless to find Slang Zhuo again."

"..." I thought silently for a while, and then said, "What do you mean is that I should go to Qingmin? Because the purpose of the buyer is actually Qingmin. Since they cannot buy from Slang Jiangcuo, they will start from another place?"

“…”

"So, we should focus on other places with green mines, such as Taihe Iron Mine?"

Qinghan thought about it and shook his head again: "It may not be."

"Why?"

"To be honest, although it is difficult to find green mines, it is not that difficult to find one or two places in the Central Plains. Moreover, there are now chaos outside, and minerals are easily the target of various powerful people. Since that person can find Silang Jiangcuo to buy green mines, at least his strength should be not weak. It is not difficult for him to find green mines in other places or even buy them."

"Where is our clue?"

“Forged.”

"Forging?" I was stunned for a moment, and a sudden flash of inspiration in my mind. Qinghan raised his head and looked at me: "Do you understand what I mean?"

“…!”

My breath sank a little at this time.

I remember that when my mother first appeared in front of Tie Yushan, she asked him to forge a dagger.

If what she asked Tie Yushan forged was really the dagger that Fu Badai gave to Prince Nianshen. If this was not a coincidence, then it was a premeditated test?

Will this be the case?

I reached out and grabbed his wrist: "Tieyushan—?!"

Qinghan was stunned by me. When he heard me call Tie Yushan's name, his brows frowned.

I lowered my voice and said, "I remember something."

"What?"

"When I went to his place to get something left by my mother, he once told me that after my mother entered Xichuan, our family had gone to his place to customize a car."

"Car, what car?"

"He said that he gave him a wooden car mold to make it into an iron car, and it must be very reliable and able to withstand the impact of several thousand kilograms, because the wooden car I used before was broken apart."

Qinghan was also shocked and said in surprise: "What kind of thing has such a big impact, thousands of pounds - can even a wooden cart fall apart?"
