As soon as I opened my eyes, I was dressed as a stepmother of two bear children

Chapter 45
——Luo Wangfu
"Dongchang Marquis Mansion?" Gu Jingyao frowned and lowered his head in thought.

"Yes, the Marquis is quite kind." Qiu Yeli nodded, she never thought of hiding Gu Jingyao.

"The power of the Marquis of Dongchang is not inferior to that of Prime Minister Liu. If we can make friends with him, there will be no harm at all."

"I know, but the Marquise looks so preoccupied, I wonder if the old Marquis is messing around, tsk tsk, men don't have a good thing!"

Qiu Yeli clicked her tongue twice, thinking of the Marquis's forced melancholy expression, she couldn't help gossiping.

Gu Jingyao paused, then shook his head solemnly, "Old Hou Ye is an upright man, an upright official and very good to his wife, he has a good reputation in Kyoto."

He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and later assisted the late emperor in handling the government affairs, so he is naturally very clear about the behavior of the veterans in the court.

"What's going on?" Qiu Yeli was a little puzzled, but his hands kept moving, and gossip flashed in his eyes.

If someone walked into the palace at this moment, they would definitely open their mouths in shock. A big black pot was set up in the courtyard at some point, accompanied by a long chimney. King Luo didn't care much about the aroma of the fragrance, and sat aside to discuss something with the princess with great interest.

"It's probably for the little marquis of Dongchang Hou Mansion." Gu Jingyao took the honey-roasted sweet potato from Qiu Yeli, and the old god said.

Qiu Yeli nodded knowingly, opened her eyes and motioned for him to continue, not forgetting to put the sweet potato in her mouth.

"The Marquis of Dongchang has only one young marquis who is a direct descendant, so the old marquis and the marquis are very spoiled, and they have developed an arrogant and domineering character, nostalgic for the flowers and willow lanes, causing many disasters. Lord Hou may not be safe and sound."

Gu Jingyao recalled the information he had collected before leaving the capital, and opened his mouth in ten to one. At the beginning, both he and the emperor thought of wooing the Dongchang Marquis Mansion, but the old Hou chose to remain neutral. Later, the current emperor, his brother captured Dongchang. The little braid of the young master of Changhou mansion forced the old master to stand in line in order to save his son.

"So that's how it is." Qiu Yeli nodded clearly, not surprisingly.

"My lord, my concubine, the boy from Tianxiangju is asking to see you outside the mansion!" The maid came over, and she was used to looking at Qiu Yeli who didn't have the appearance of a dignified and dignified lady.

"Understood, you go down first." Qiu Yeli nodded, her brows were also furrowed together, she felt strange, something must have happened to Tianxiangju, otherwise Wang Mian would not have sent someone to look for her in the palace.

"I'll go with you." Gu Jingyao got up and looked at Qiu Yeli worriedly.

"No, if you go to be too eye-catching, don't worry, I won't show my strength." Qiu Yeli held him down and explained patiently.

Gu Jingyao was silent, thinking of his current situation, he had no choice but to respond, asking her to tell herself immediately if she had anything to do.

outside the house.

Qiu Yeli was accompanied by a maid, and the servant of Tianxiangju was anxiously watching at the door with a hasty expression.

"My lord, you have figured it out!" Seeing Qiu Yeli, the servant hurried forward.

"What happened?"

"It's a long story. It was pointed out that there is something wrong with the medicinal food of Tianxiangju. Many guests showed signs of poisoning after eating it. Dali Temple has surrounded Tianxiangju, and the young owner's house has also been detained!"

While talking, the boy begged Qiu Yeli to find a way to rescue Wang Mian.

"Medicine?" Qiu Yeli paused, feeling that the matter was not simple, Wang Mian only suspected that someone wanted to attack Tianxiangju a few days ago, and was sealed by Dali Temple so quickly, there must be something wrong.

The carriage galloped on the long street, and soon arrived outside the Tianxiangju Restaurant, a group of officers and soldiers surrounded them inside and out, and the leader, Qiu Yeli, was no stranger.

"Han Xiujin? Why are you here?" Qiu Yeli stepped forward with the help of the maid.

"My sister-in-law princess received a report that the food in Tianxiangju was poisoned, so she came to investigate. I don't know if this is the princess?" Han Xiujin was taken aback, apparently also a little surprised.

"I also heard about this." Qiu Yeli replied perfunctorily, and she was slightly relieved. It was much easier for Han Xiujin, at least she had a chance to find out what was going on.

The so-called food poisoning diners were all arranged upstairs, and the government sought treatment from the imperial physicians in the palace.

"Where is Wang Mian?" Qiu Yeli frowned and looked at Han Xiujin.

"Upstairs." Han Xiujin thought for a while, then led her upstairs.

Wang Mian was guarded here by two officers and soldiers. He lowered his head and looked annoyed. He was already very careful, but he didn't expect to be tricked.

Qiu Yeli signaled to Han Xiujin that she wanted to ask questions alone.

Han Xiujin responded, called out the guards, stood at the door, and told her to keep things short.

"Wang Mian." Qiu Yeli closed the door, looked at the slumped man and asked, "What's going on?"

She never believed that there was a mistake in the medicinal recipe, and someone must have framed it.

"Someone put something in the medicinal food, it's my fault that I didn't notice it." Wang Mian lowered his head, ashamed of Qiu Yeli, Tianxiangju's reputation was about to be ruined.

"Now is not the time to be decadent. Think carefully about who has this motive for committing the crime. The person who can enter the back kitchen of Tianxiangju must be an acquaintance."

Akiba Rika frowned, watching the man speak clearly.

"Could it be the Qibao Pavilion, but we don't have any evidence." Wang Mian thought about it carefully and said cautiously. He had doubts for a long time, but how can the government handle the case only by guesswork.

"Since it is done, it is impossible for the boat to pass through the water without a trace. There must be clues, and I will find that person." Qiu Yeli looked firm.

"My lord, it's time!" Han Xiujin's voice sounded at the right time, Qiu Yeli pushed the door and went out, and two officers and soldiers came in and escorted the man out.

Han Xiujin looked at Qiu Yeli who was standing in the room without saying a word and frowned, "Sister-in-law Wangfei, you and Tianxiangju."

He was a little strange, as far as he knew, Tianxiangju was not owned by the Luo Palace, so how could Qiu Yeli be here?
"The young owner of Tianxiangju is my good friend." Qiu Yeli said calmly.

"So that's the case, but this case is deeply involved. The princess should not pay too much attention, so as not to bring disaster to the prince." Han Xiujin nodded, and looked at Qiu Yeli meaningfully. He has always had doubts about Qiu Yeli. In Qingping Village, the matter of the old scholar proved to be a misunderstanding, but it must not be someone who can follow Gu Jingyao all the way to the capital.

"What if I have to intervene?" Qiu Yeli smiled, and naturally heard the warning in his words, and then said indifferently.

"Please don't embarrass me, my concubine." Han Xiujin clasped his fists and bowed in salute. His appearance of being neither humble nor overbearing seemed a bit arrogant.
