"Oh, Mr. Zong, you talk too much!" Ren Danqing immediately stepped forward to grab Zong Yi, and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't drink until you can't bear the strength...it's too crowded to talk."

He had already noticed Yun Xi's face gradually turning pale, and he was worried that the case would involve an old person from back then, and if anyone wanted to hear about it, it would be better not to mention it.

"Yes, I've talked too much, I've talked too much." Zong Yi turned to grab Ren Danqing's sleeve and said with emotion: "I'm happy! I'm happy for Qingfan..."

Ren Danqing followed Zong Yi's words and tried to comfort him, and then he stopped talking.

A feast to welcome the wind, start the feast happily, and end it with everyone's own thoughts.

Master Yun Xi sent the two elders to the door of the room. Ren Danqing repeatedly told Yun Xi not to think too much, and then helped Zong Yi back to the room.

After returning home from the inn, the master and servant sat down in front of the dressing table after washing. Yun Xi looked at herself in the mirror quietly, still looking worried.

Qingguo wiped her young lady's hair and said to herself: "Instead of worrying about it alone, young lady, why don't you tell Mr. Lu what's on your mind?"

Yun Xi came back from her sadness, her eyes became bright again, and she smiled helplessly: "What should I tell Mr. Lu?"

"You said that Miss Lu couldn't figure out Mr. Lu's identity!" Qingguo became excited as soon as he mentioned this matter. He leaned next to Yun Xi's legs and said, "Is he also involved in the case of Miss's parents?"

Yun Xi pouted in annoyance and whispered: "I asked last time." He didn't ask.

Regarding the corruption case ten years ago, Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi had the same concerns, so they adopted similar postures. This was a silent understanding between the two.

But now, Yun Xi suddenly knew that the case back then also involved Lu Qingfan's family... This tacit understanding turned into a deeper guilt lingering in her heart, making her even more at a loss.

When Qingguo heard what her young lady said, she couldn't help but stand up: "Isn't this simple? Since Mr. Lu thinks it's not the right time, and the young lady also thinks it's not the right time, why not put down your worries and focus on the matter at hand!"

The sharp nerves in her mind were suddenly stirred by Qing Guo, and Yun Xi was shocked to realize that she was fascinated.

Yes, since you are worried about the past, it is better to focus on the present.

She stretched her eyebrows, a smile appeared on her pretty face, and raised her hand to rub Qingguo's head: "How come my Qingguo is so smart?"

The simpler a person is, the more empowering he is to think about complex things.

"This slave is extremely wise and foolish!" Qingguo raised his little face and said for himself: "You are obviously not stupid all the time!"

Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh out loud, and when she got up, she was going to get snacks for the little maid, so she could be rewarded!

When Lu Qingfan rushed to Yun Xi's courtyard, he didn't know that he had invisibly resolved a small "confrontation" crisis.

After a battle of wits and courage with Yi Duo, the Minister of Household Affairs, the warm atmosphere of two young girls enjoying tea and snacks under the moonlight in the courtyard relaxed the nerves that had been tense all day.

"You two are so entertained."

At a glance, Yun Xi saw the handsome man approaching with a knife in the dark. The faint tiredness under his eyebrows silently told of the difficulty of solving the case.

"My lord is here," Yun Xi immediately moved aside and said softly, "Have you had your meal? The rice porridge is still warm on the stove..."

Lu Qingfan waved his robe and sat down without being pretentious. He nodded and said, "Here's a bowl. Thank you."

"I'll go, I'll go!" Qingguo immediately stuffed the whole snack into his mouth and ran away.

Under the moonlight, the two of them stood and sat in silence.

The person's radiant white skin without makeup was like a halo in the moonlight, which was stunning. Lu Qingfan's dark eyes gradually darkened, and then he unconsciously turned to the side, for fear that if he took one more look, he would not be able to control himself and want to hold the beautiful woman in his arms.

It wasn't until Qingguo came back that the silence was broken.

"Sir, the porridge and side dishes are all here! There are also these snacks, you can also make some!" Qingguo generously pushed a few plates of snacks over.

"Thank you...will you be satisfied after I finish eating?" Lu Qingfan couldn't help teasing.

"Ah, my slave is not that greedy, right?"

"No?" Yun Xi asked back. The little girl was so angry that she stomped her feet and hid away.

Lu Qingfan suppressed his laughter and coughed lightly, then picked up the bowl on the table.

The warm touch, accompanied by a faint fragrance of rice, suddenly penetrated into Lu Qingfan's nose: faint green onion leaves floated on the soft white rice soup, and the soft rice grains sprouted rice flowers, which aroused people's greed at a glance.

The insects are coming.

Lu Qingfan moved his index finger, picking at the delicious and crispy side dishes, and drank two bowls of porridge in a daze before giving up.

At the end of the day, he deliberately took a bite of the snacks brought by Qingguo: the snacks with a light jasmine fragrance melted in his mouth, not sweet and not greasy.

“Really good.”

Lu Qingfan wiped the corners of his mouth gracefully with a handkerchief, making Yun Xi smile. Just looking at this elegant gesture, some people might believe that Mr. Lu is a young master from an aristocratic family.

"Have you eaten enough, sir?"

"I'm full, thank you." Lu Qingfan nodded: "Master Yi admits that Tuoba Jing is here to recuperate his health. And every winter, it is for this reason."

After speaking, Lu Qingfan handed over the prescription in his sleeve: "Take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it."

Yun Xi read the prescription carefully and handed it back: "It's a warming prescription for treating cold syndrome. There's nothing wrong with it, but it won't make any big improvement on Tuoba Jing."

It's just no pain or itching, and it's just a matter of prolonging your life.

Lu Qingfan snorted coldly when he heard this, feeling regretful that he didn't listen to what the old fox said.

When interrogating Yi Duo, the minister of household affairs, he was initially unwilling to admit that there was a private connection between the two.

Until Lu Qingfan revealed that Tuoba Jing was suffering from ice syndrome and the irrefutable evidence of purchasing the prescription was in front of him, Yi Duo temporarily changed his story and said that he deliberately concealed it for the sake of diplomatic relations between Beimang and Ming Dynasty.

But the focus of Lu Qingfan's thoughts was not here. He wanted to rule out the possibility that the people in Beimang had deliberately tampered with the prescription.

After hearing this, Yun Xi pursed her lips and affirmed: "Doctor Beimang is not good at cold syndrome. With this level of prescription, he is already a national miracle doctor."

"Oh?" Lu Qingfan was surprised, "Is Beimang's medical skills so poor?"

"Not really."

When it comes to her old profession, Yun Xi's attitude is even more rigorous: "Every medical skill has its own strengths and weaknesses. For example, Da Ming is better at preparing traditional Chinese medicine; Beimang is better at traumatic bone surgery; Miao Jiang is good at using Gu as medicine..."

Because medical skills in various places are closely related to their cultural landscape, hundreds of traditional Chinese medicine schools can be brought together to treat diseases and save people.

"Understood." Lu Qingfan straightened his attitude and asked again: "Since we have ruled out the possibility of people from Beimang taking action, there is a high chance that the suspect is one of Ming's own people."

Yun Xi was noncommittal.

"Sir, there is something Yun Xi doesn't know whether to say or not."

"That's what you say." Lu Qingfan said helplessly: "There are only two of us here, what can't we say?"

"The criminal went to great lengths to slander Master Yi. There must be a reason. I guess the case must be related to the private business between Master Yi and Tuoba Jing, or even the slave trade... If we can find out what the two people's business involved.

The interests of this noble person may make the motive of committing the crime clear."

Then the scope of suspects will be much smaller.

The little girl clearly just examined the body, and Yun Xi didn't know about the many confessions or the complicated relationships between the people, but she relied on her strong intuition to think of it together.

The admiration in Lu Qingfan's eyes was mixed with the inextricable tenderness and overflowed: "You are thinking the same thing as me."

What a tacit understanding.

[Author's digression]: Qingguo: Who said there are only two of you in the courtyard? I am not a human being?

Lu Qingfan:......

The Leng brothers, who were hiding in the corner and blowing the wind with their hungry stomachs: You are so unkind, you won’t even invite us to eat porridge!

Lu Qingfan:???The work is done?
