Chapter 699
After Wang Sheng drank the soup and praised Tang Mei for relieving the heat, Ye Qingyan asked him about the bones.
Wang Sheng showed a strange look on his face.
Then, without waiting for Ye Qingyan to ask again, he said, "Report to the Empress, the day before yesterday, the servant ordered people to find an old lady outside the palace who had left the palace for 20 years. Although she did not serve in Yihe Palace, one of her cousins was Yihe Palace Maid. Later, she was infected with the cold in the palace and disappeared. However, before her sister died, she had met her sister and talked about some things. She might know the identity of this bone."
"Oh? Where is that old lady?" Ye Qingyan stopped shaking his fan's hand.
Wang Sheng said with a shame: "Yesterday, just as the old lady was about to arrive at the palace gate, a black-clothed assassin suddenly appeared and assassinated the old lady!"
Ye Qingyan was stunned, "What?!"
"Empress the guilt, it is a slave who is not good at doing things. I would like to ask the empress to punish him." Wang Sheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed again.
Ye Qingyan said: "President Wang asked. This will prove that this matter is not simple. You can continue to check. When the late emperor was in power, there were many palace servants who left the palace, and maybe there were others."
"Yes, the slave has already ordered it."
"If you have any news, come and report it to me and go down."
"It's the empress, the slave takes his leave."
Wang Sheng withdrew.
Chunyu said to Ye Qingyan: "It sounds like this white bone is quite mysterious. What is the origin of it?"
Ye Qingyan thought for a while, "I will go out tonight."
...
Xiao Changqi was wearing a white and cool open and elegant shirt, lying on Ye Qingyan's cold bamboo couch with his eyes closed, with slender and straight legs, one leg raised and one leg flat, holding Ye Qingyan's phoenix-patterned jade bone fan in his hand, slapping it lazyly.
Ye Qingyan returned to the bedroom because she was going out tonight. Xiao Changqi was busy with state affairs recently and often stayed up all night and didn't bother with Yuan Er, so she sent Yuan Er to Madam Xu to sleep.
As a result, as soon as I sent the little man back to the hall, I saw Xiao Changqi. Especially with the coolness of his body, he subconsciously dripped in saliva and swallowed a mouthful. This guy is so beautiful!
"Your Majesty? Are you not busy tonight?" Ye Qingyan walked over, took the fan from his hand, slapped him with his legs, and looked at his chest with a close look. The jade-white skin, the bite taste... It was really good!
Xiao Changqi slowly opened a pair of phoenix eyes that were as dark as the night sky and as bright as the pole stars.
“Where to go?”
“…The Third Princess’ Mansion.”
"I'm still looking at that bone."
"Yes, I want to know who she is? Why was she hidden inside the wall?"
"So what if you know?"
"Relieve the confusion of this palace!" Ye Qingyan was very dissatisfied with his attitude of not being concerned about his affairs.
Xiao Changqi reached out and pulled her down on his body and rode on his thin waist.
This posture is really ambiguous.
Ye Qingyan instantly felt confused...
"Your Majesty...you, you..."
"Is it more important to check bones than accompanying me?"
"Of course, Your Majesty is more important, but I can accompany Your Majesty and check the bones again. The two are not contradictory." Ye Qingyan said and kissed his thin lips...
It would be strange if the beauty threw herself into her arms and hugged her, Xiao Changqi would let her go.
A wonderful night, even the bright moon in the sky was shyly covered with thin clouds and gauze...
...
Ye Qingyan felt that Xiao Changqi did not agree with her checking the white bone.
Although he did not say it clearly, his behavior last night was not without this meaning. She vaguely understood his thoughts. No matter who the bone was, it had something to do with Emperor Jingde, and it was probably a scandal. He did not want to expose this scandal. It was a respect for the late emperor and also to protect his father's face.
It is very likely that he already knew the identity of the bone.
Then she asked him directly, would he tell her?
There is also the third princess Minying who has not had any news, which makes her a little uneasy.
"Jinglin, has Your Majesty been in court?" Ye Qingyan asked.
Jinglin replied, "I'll go and have a look now."
...
After a while, Jinglin came back and told Ye Qingyan that Xiao Changqi had not yet dispersed.
Ye Qingyan thought, "In this way, I will go out for a while. If Your Majesty comes, I will say that I will go out to inspect the ointment shop."
"Yes, Empress, I obey the order." Jinglin responded.
The spring rain came when I heard the sound, "Empress, Empress, I also want to go to the ointment shop to have a look, so take me with me."
Ye Qingyan knew that she wanted to go out of the palace for a walk, and smiled and said, "Okay, change your clothes."
The master and servant came out of the palace together.
After Xiao Changqi scattered the court, he came to Kunyuan Palace.
After learning that Ye Qingyan had gone out, he returned to Qianyuan Palace to handle government affairs.
Before leaving, he sighed helplessly, "It is better to rest in the palace than to care about those boring people."
Ye Qingyan took Chunyu to the balm shop first. Since she said she would go to inspect the balm shop, she could not lie, even if her real purpose was Minying's Third Princess' Mansion.
Seeing the guests coming and going in the balm shop, Ye Qingyan was in a very good mood.
The guy recognized Ye Qingyan and Chunyu and immediately received warmly.
Last time, Ye Qingyan said that there would be Xueyan ointment three days later. It was indeed a letter from three days later. She became more and more sure that she was the person in the ointment workshop. Because the shopkeeper told him that only the incense-making masters in the ointment workshop knew when they would be available.
"Madam, I didn't take my little boy with me." The guy warmly asked Ye Qingyan to sit down.
Ye Qingyan said: "It's hot, it's cooler at home. Is the business okay?"
The guy replied, "Okay, the only thing that is not enough for the snow cream every day is sold. It's out of stock in the first half of the day, and people are always urged to get tomorrow's goods."
"What about other things? How is Hongyan and Taoyan cream selling?" Ye Qingyan asked, then looked at the ladies and ladies who bought goods. Most of them needed Xueyan cream, and they could buy as many as possible.
The Snow White Ointment is out of stock at any time. They are afraid that when the stock is out of stock, they will not be able to use the balm and their skin will become ugly...
The guy replied: "These two types of balms have been out of stock, and the balms shop has not delivered, so it has been temporarily cut off. Especially for Hongyan, there is no stock once it is recommended."
Someone asked the guy to get the goods, "Give me two boxes of lotus-based snow cream, hurry up, I'm going home tightly..."
The guy had to say to Ye Qingyan: "I'm sorry, I have to go there first."
Ye Qingyan nodded, "Go."
After the guy was busy with the customers, Ye Qingyan and Chunyu quietly left the balm shop.
"Madam, when will you make some beauty?" Chunyu asked, "There are palace maids in the palace who want to buy it."
Ye Qingyan thought for a while, "Let's go tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Yeah, I will accompany you to the ointment workshop."
