"Eat slowly, no one robs you, don't choke!"

Two little beggars were eating voraciously in Lengyuezhai. Judging from their appearance, they have not eaten enough for too long. They are still chewing in their mouths and holding other food in their hands. Children are the ones who will not lie the most. Their behavior often comes from their hearts, which is why Qi Wantong looks for these little beggars.

"After you finish eating, I'll ask the chef to prepare more for you and take some for your parents."

"Thank you sister!"

Qi Wantong couldn't help feeling sorry for the two children, but her original intention was not to be kind to these poor children. This time they both brought her a very useful news, and the price they paid was just a few meals.

"After you go back, you will continue to help your sister. If you have any news, just come and find her. Keep all the delicious food for you."

"Sister, you are so nice!"

After seeing off the two little beggars, the smile that was originally filled with his face gradually solidified. Many days ago, Qi Wantong received a letter from Xuan Shaoning. After reading the letter, she felt so heartbroken that she was now. In the letter, Xuan Shaoning told Qi Wantong that Shi Gong Zhengyuan was missing on the battlefield. Even though he repeatedly comforted that there was no news about him for the time being, Qi Wantong still had a heart hanging.

All kinds of news have been passed to Qi Wantong these days. If it were someone else, I would be overwhelmed. Fortunately, Qi Wantong is proficient in this and she properly handles everything, but she can't get over this matter with Master Gong Zhengyuan.

"Come!"

A servant pushed open the curtain door and said to Qi Wantong: "What are the instructions Miss Qi?"

"Go and invite Lord Xiao and Mr. Su to come and have tea."

"yes!"

Not long after the servant left, in Qi Wantong's eyes, it was only half a stick of incense, and he heard footsteps in the corridor. So fast? Qi Wantong looked at the curtain door, and a shadow of a person reflected on the door. With a hissing, the door was opened.

"Xiao Moyan? Are you on vacation today? You are here so soon?"

Xiao Moyan walked into the accord and sat down. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured it into his throat without a cup. Because it was so hot that the leaking water flowed along Xiao Moyan's collar and onto his legs.

Qi Wantong just looked at Xiao Moyan quietly. She didn't say or move, just looked at him. She also noticed that Xiao Moyan had a circle of white gauze wrapped around her left arm. She seemed to have guessed something, but before Xiao Moyan could say it in person, she always had hope, even if it was the last bit of hope, she was unwilling to expose it.

Dong! Xiao Moyan threw the teapot on the table, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity that this is not wine! Otherwise, I would really want to get drunk before I can stop!"

"I'm Leng Yuezhai here, what wine is there? As long as you say, I'll get it right away."

"Yes, there is as much as you drink, but people... will never come back if they lose it!"

"What exactly did you get?"

Qi Wantong stared at Xiao Moyan, her heart was beating very fast. She was so worried that Xuan Shaoning was just lying to her. The truth was the one she didn't want to see! Her eyes didn't dare to blink, her lips were shaking slightly, and she didn't dare to ask. She was so afraid that what she asked was the one she didn't want to hear!

"Wantong, it seems you don't know yet. The Southeast War Report has been reported from the palace. Not only was the entire Southeast defeated, but he also... and Qingyuan sacrificed his life for the country!"

In an instant, a tear rolled down from Qi Wantong's eyes. When she heard the news, she felt a little relaxed, and then a new round of pain surged, but it was obvious that the new round of pain was far less than the anxious waiting just now. But Qi Wantong told herself that the tears were shed for Mu Qingyuan, after all, he was also a classmate of his seven years, not to mention that he sacrificed his life for the country.

"Why didn't Shaoning tell me about this news in the letter?"

"You have received a letter from Shaoning?"

"Yes, I received it a few days ago. Shaoning briefly explained the war situation on the southeast front in his letter, but did not mention the incident in Qingyuan."

"Why did Shaoning write you but not write to me?"

"Because you are in the court, you will inevitably have ears to send letters to you!"

This was not what Qi Wantong said. Zhao Kexin turned around and saw Zhao Kexin. Zhao Kexin walked into the Accord, turned around and closed the door, sat down and said to the two: "Su Qian will not come. He has already gone to the southeast line to handle the family's business. I just came here with him when I met the servant."

"The Southeast has become the front line, and wars continue. Are you not worried about danger when Su Qian goes forward?" Qi Wantong is a little worried for Su Qian.

Xiao Moyan adjusted his emotions and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The more war comes, the more chance they will have to make money. Haven't you heard of making money from the national crisis? The Su family can become the number one chaebol in Daliang in nearly a hundred years, and the war starts. Besides, who is Su Qian? In terms of opportunity changes and force, he can't kill the enemy on the field, so he is more than enough to protect himself."

Zhao Kexin also saw the white veil wrapped around Xiao Moyan's arm. "The Master already knows about Mu Qingyuan. The Master still appreciates Qingyuan's choice and responsibility. If it weren't for the fact that the senior brothers and sisters had their own tasks, the Master would have planned to hang Qingyuan's portrait in Linyuan Pavilion for later junior brothers and sisters to admire."

The person is no longer there, and the grief behind him is more of a form. Of course, this also embodies the longing of the living, which is a kind of praise for Mu Qingyuan's death.

"Qingyuan is the only son in the family. I heard that Lord Mu has said he is sick and has not attended court these days. We will not understand the pain of sending black-haired people to the white-haired people."

"Moyan, Qingyuan will not sacrifice in vain. We must fulfill his wish for him."

Xiao Moyan and Zhao Kexin both looked at Qi Wantong. Xiao Moyan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Wantong, is there something wrong with you looking for me?"

"That's right!" Qi Wantong stood up and made sure that there was no one outside the door, and turned around and said, "My Leng Yuezhai is the place where news is circulating. A few days ago, Xiao Mei from Fengyi Pavilion opposite me brought me news: a father-in-law in the palace once went in and out of Fengyi Pavilion, and the one who accompanied him was Shen Qianji, the upstart in the capital examination."

"My father-in-law is in and out of the fireworks place? This is really unreasonable!" Zhao Kexin exclaimed: "Has this Xiaomei served her father-in-law?"

"Xiao Mei is a singer, she is not a singer anymore. She just played a few songs through the curtain."

"Chen Qianji is the head of Dali Temple, and Xiao Mei recognized it through the curtain? Also, when did Dali Temple get involved with the eunuch?" Xiao Moyan has been in the officialdom for some years, and he still understands the basic rules of the officialdom.

"Xiao Mei naturally didn't recognize her on the spot. She relied on her memory to draw a portrait. The person she recognized was me. I knew all the most outstanding people in the Beijing examination. However, I am just a woman in the fireworks and willow alleys. She is not very familiar with the affairs of the court, so I came to you."

"Do you think this is a clue?"

"It's not just that. The informant in the slums also sent me clues: three days ago, a carriage appeared in the slums and picked up a person. Although the carriage was old and small, there was no doubt that someone was deliberately doing it."

"When entering and leaving the slums, even if the clothes you wear are a little brighter, they will be stared at by the refugees, let alone the carriage. Wantong, do you think there is a connection between these two things?"

"I can't explain clearly. Since the Southeast War Report spread throughout the capital, there have been more news from all walks of life. I filtered these messages and always felt that these two things were not a single event, and there seemed to be a connection behind them."

“Didn’t your line people provide more clues?”

"They are not full-time and detailed work, but just helping with things for my sake and money. It would be good if they could have some rough clues."

"I have recorded this matter. According to the war reports over the past few days, the war situation in the southeast is not optimistic, and I will have fewer opportunities to come to you in the future."
