"Carved stepping bed? That's precious, how much money did it cost?" Ren Ran looked sore.

"It's done by some new craftsmen from the Ministry of Works without spending money."

"Oh? This is good, then do they have any other furniture for practicing? They can also send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Some, some, the master of the Ministry of Works said, I will pick up the good ones and send them to you."

...

As the master and servant talked, a carriage that looked very ordinary on the outside was walking towards the palace gate. As for the person driving the carriage, although he looked strange, his figure, aura, and the power of his every move could still tell who he was at a glance, and he immediately met him.

Xiao Changqi stopped the carriage.

"My dear, please see your Majesty."

"No gift." Xiao Changqi raised the whip in his hand, "Thank you for your hard work, my dear."

He looked at the car behind him, "Where is the queen?"

"She fell asleep." Xiao Changqi's expression showed a hint of hesitation...

What can make Xiao Changqi hesitate is generally not a trivial matter, and it is most likely very difficult.

Seeing this, Ren Ran immediately wanted to leave, "I won't let Your Majesty and the Empress return to the palace, let's take a step first."

"Well, let me tell you tomorrow, go back and rest early." Xiao Changqi shook the whip lightly and drove towards the palace gate.

Ren Ran sighed deeply, "It seems like a very troublesome thing."

When Renran returned to the mansion, he saw that Shao Qing and Ji Yue had already entered the yard without invitation, and sighed again... He thought that this day was over and he could have a good rest and welcome Xiao Changqi's trouble tomorrow, but when he saw them, it was not over yet.

"Xiaoguo, take two jars of wine that His Majesty gave him." Shao Qing was his childhood friend, and the stone gambling conference was over and he was about to leave soon. He was just a farewell party. As for Ji Yue, if he didn't blow it out, he would give him face - the culprit of destroying his yard.

Ji Yue took out the blood jade gourd that Ye Qingyan gave him from her broad sleeves, "Ren, please see how this is happening?"

"Hmm? This is..." Ren Ran was surprised to take the blood jade gourd from him, "Where did you get it?"

Shao Qing said: "She made a gambling stone and sold it to him at a low price."

Although she was not named, everyone knew who she was.

...

Ye Qingyan leaned against the big pillow and comfortably touched his stomach that had become much bigger, and burped, "Uh~".

Xiao Changqi went to handle the memorials. God knew that these days were gone, and the piles of memorials and official documents had become mountains. Even if he didn't sleep for a few days, he might not be able to handle them.

Chunyu came over with a big box and said to Ye Qingyan mysteriously: "Empress, guess whose box is this?"

"Whose box?" Ye Qingyan sat upright and looked at the box that Chunyu was holding. "It seems that the style does not look like it is from the palace. The wood is camphor wood, camphor wood... Li Guo is prolific... light-grain?"

"The Empress is smart. You can tell who it belongs to just by looking at the box. It is indeed Sister Qing's, and it falls into the warehouse of the back palace."

"Has she forgotten? Or should she leave it here and don't want to."

"What I mean is to open it and see. If it is just a few pieces of clothes or shoes inside, it probably doesn't matter. If it is gold, silver, jewelry, silver bills, etc., it will be placed in the Queen's private warehouse. When there is a suitable opportunity, I will give it to Sister Qing."

"Okay, just follow what you said and open it and take a look."

"It's the Empress." Chunyu took off the little hammer that had been blocked at her waist, and then hit the lock accurately with one hammer...

The lock is opened.

"...You don't have a key!"

"No. Why would I ask the queen if I want to open it?"

"...You let me take the blame!" Qingze asked in the future. When she heard that she agreed, she would not blame her. This girl would not suffer any loss at all at this time.

"No, the one who broke the lock is me. Even if Sister Qing wants to blame me, she will blame me. Then, should we watch it?"

"It's already open, of course, look." Ye Qingyan got up from the couch, walked over, and looked at what was in the box.

Spring rain opened the box.

Inside are some gold, silver and jewelry, silver notes, house deeds for light houses, several witch documents from the witch clan, and a volume of embroidery pictures.

Open the embroidery picture, and it is the completed Yao Palace picture.

Ye Qingyan looked at the Yao Palace picture and couldn't help but remember what happened when he was in Yao Palace, including Ruiling and Bai Xiao.

Now, they are not so easy to see again.

"Isn't this the embroidery picture lost with Sister Qing in the palace?" Chunyu looked at the embroidery picture and said in surprise.

"It's not that one, it was newly embroidered by Qingze later."

"There are still signatures in this place... white?" Chunyu tilted her head and looked at the word she didn't know very well.

"Where is the signature?" Ye Qingyan followed her gaze and there were really two vague words!

"Bai...天? Isn't this the name of Sister Qing's mother?"

"Is Qingze's mother?"

"Well, I once asked Sister Qing's mother's name, and she said that her mother's name was Bai Liang."

"I'll go to the couch to check it out and tidy up the boxes."

Ye Qingyan took the embroidery picture and returned to the couch seat, sat cross-legged and comfortable, studying the embroidery picture.

Chunyu sorted out her things and made up her value while calculating Qingze’s value. In her eyes, the gold, silver and jewelry turned into accurate silver and money.

Ye Qingyan stroked the name Qingze embroidered. If she had copied the painting completely, she would have embroidered the name again. In other words, the painting might have been painted by... Qingze's mother! The person who sealed Ruiling was Qingze's mother!

Bai Jue is dead, and Qingze is Bai Jue's bloodline. According to Ruiling, as long as the person who seals him and the descendants are constantly bloodlined, he cannot come out of the painting.

Why?

If the person who seals Ruiling is really a waste of time, why did she seal him?

Qingze left too, otherwise she could ask her.

Of course, it is very likely that it is in vain to ask, because her mother died before she could remember. The only person who knew it was probably Mrs. Qing, but Mrs. Qing committed suicide when her house was raided in Qing Mansion.

It has become an insolvent mystery.

During the break between Xiao Changqi handling government affairs, he came back to the bedroom to see if Ye Qingyan had a rest.

Then I saw Ye Qingyan and Chunyu master and servant-

One is so stupid with an embroidery piece, while the other is so happy to count the silver...

Seeing that neither of the two people in the hall noticed the emperor, Jinglin respectfully knelt down at Xiao Changqi and called out loudly: "I bow to your majesty."

I always hear it now.

However, Chunyu was full of money and was holding a stack of silver notes in his hand, counting and adding them... he simply refused to accept any information that had nothing to do with money.

As for Ye Qingyan, he looked at the embroidered pictures of Yao Palace and thought about the matter of Yao Palace, but he also ignored Jinglin's voice.
