"Eldest sister is not young anymore, Erniang should take care of her and take more care. But if father has young talents in the court, he can also pay more attention to elder sister." She said softly, and took another crisp Put the bamboo shoots on the plate, and seeing the fragrance of this dish, Yuwen Lingxi smiled casually, "The craftsmanship in this small kitchen is getting more and more exquisite. My daughter remembers that this stir-fried sour bamboo shoots was my mother's favorite dish in the past. Father has a heart, Xi'er I am very grateful."

After saying this, Yu Wenli's expression darkened again, thinking of his wife's confession at the time of her death, and then before her eyes, she didn't say much after all, just said: "As long as you like it, let's eat."

In order to save some trouble, no one at the dinner table spoke again.Lu Zhaohe has always had the aloofness and coldness of the royal family, so he stopped talking at this time.

After eating, the two sat down for a while, then got up to say goodbye.

The carriage was halfway on the way, but Tiangong was not doing well, and it rained heavily in an instant.It was really difficult for the coachman to move forward in the rain. After asking Lu Zhaohe, he found a deserted temple to take shelter from the rain temporarily.

Once inside, a group of people stood there stupidly, and Yuwen Lingxi and Lu Zhaohe were not much better, their bodies were partially wet by the rain, and they became a little cold when the wind blew.

Yuwen Lingxi looked around, and suddenly found a pile of haystacks and some firewood in the corner. She suddenly smiled, and ordered the servant to put the firewood in the middle, put some hay on top, and put some on the ground beside it. .Lu Zhaohe was looking over at her, and seeing her like this, he knew that she was going to start a fire.

Without thinking about it for a second, Yuwen Lingxi took out a delicate fire pocket from his sleeve.At this time, there was loud thunder outside the window, lightning and thunder, and the sky darkened all of a sudden.On the other hand, the interior, although dilapidated, was warmed by a glimmer of fire.

Yuwen Lingxi didn't have much airs, she smiled and asked Lu Zhang and the others to warm up by the fire, sitting in a circle, and her popularity suddenly increased.

Seeing this, the housekeeper couldn't help but sighed: "This old slave is a rough countryman, but he is not half as good as the princess."

Yuwen Lingxi smiled modestly, and before she could answer, she heard Lu Zhaohe ask: "The princess was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, I don't know where she learned these things from?"

Yuwen Lingxi's eyes turned slightly on his face, and seeing that there was a three-point inquiring meaning in his eyes, she couldn't help but smiled and said: "Raised in a deep boudoir, the king's words are wrong."

She paused, and straightened the weeds stuck to her cuffs, "My concubine was sent to Penglai by her family to study art since she was a child, and she just came back not long ago. In a foreign land, if you don't have the ability to survive, it's very hard. Seemingly proficient is just the result of practice makes perfect." She smiled frankly, and she can stop talking a lot, and the most subtle thing in talking with people is to keep silent.

Lu Zhaohe paused for a moment, frowned slightly, and just answered yes.

I remember that in the first two years, Yu Wenli started to be very active in the court. At that time, his wife died for the first time, and it was the current Erniang who was in touch with Mrs. and Miss of the capital. That's when it started.

He only said that he hadn't seen Yuwen Lingxi for many years, and he thought it was just a simple study of art, and he didn't want to have so many twists and turns in the ups and downs.

Lu Zhaohe suddenly felt a needle prick in his heart, it didn't hurt, but the soreness made his heart soften.

After about half a stick of incense, the rain subsided a little, but it was still urgent, and everyone was still trapped.

Lu Zhaohe suddenly leaned over and whispered a few words to the housekeeper, only to see that he hurried out and came back with a bundle in his hand.

Lu Zhaohe took it from the housekeeper, untied the cloak and handed it to Yuwen Lingxi's maid, and said softly, "Put it on the princess, don't catch the cold."

Yuwen Lingxi was slightly dumb. She thought that Lu Zhaohe would not be humane to a woman with a face of ice for thousands of years, but she thought she had misjudged the person.

After putting on the cloak, Yuwen Lingxi smiled lightly, "I thank the lord."

After the heavy rain, a rainbow light came from far away in the sky, which was really beautiful.

The carriage was speeding along the official road, and the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected in the water-filled earth pit. Yuwen Lingxi suddenly missed such a comfortable day.

When they arrived at the palace, the two still headed east and west, but at the end, Lu Zhaohe added, "It's cool at night, remember to add clothes."

It was difficult for Yuwen Lingxi to see him like this in front of people, and he was a little unresponsive at the moment. Afterwards, he smiled lightly and said blessedly: "The king of the county is too."

Back to the room where Jian Su usually lived, I saw the personal servant girl followed Yuwen Lingxi in, and sent the rest of the people out on the pretext that the princess wanted to take a bath.

"Pavilion Master, please take a look." The maid handed over the paper she had copied, and saw the names of officials written on it, and the strings of numbers behind it were all the taels of silver used to bribe Yu Wenli.

After Yuwen Lingxi looked at it, he made some calculations in his heart, and said with a sneer, "It's easy for him to come to the money, but now I'm curious about where so much money is piled up, why is there no movement in Yuwen Mansion."

"As long as you get the list, is Xi'er afraid that there will be no day when the truth will come out?" At this moment, Jian Su pushed the door in. The two wore exactly the same clothes, and the hair buns and headdresses were the same, like twins.

It turned out that Jian Su was inexplicably replaced by Yuwen Lingxi before, and it was all negotiated by the two of them.In this way, firstly, because of the information obtained before, it would be convenient to approach Lu Zhaohe for further investigation; secondly, because of the need to investigate the cause of the previous restaurant fire.

Seeing her come back, Yuwen Lingxi said with a smile: "Sister Jian, tell me the truth, how long have you been listening to the corner. Did anyone see it on the road?"

"I've just arrived too. With my lightness kung fu, even a master in the inner circle may not be able to detect it." She walked over slowly, walked to the table and sat down, took the list from Yuwen Lingxi, shook her head and said with a smile : "Since Yu Wenli accepted the first time, there will be a second time. But what surprised me the most is that he also made a record. It really is a big business. I don't need a notebook to keep it in mind. I'm afraid there is no one in this capital. A piece of gold will be forgotten if you don’t pay attention.”

After finishing the words, she took out another extinguished fire book and handed it to Yuwen Lingxi, and said coldly: "The fire in Fengqi Tower has been found out, and it was done by the Lin family."

"Lin Tianba?" Yuwen Lingxi's expression darkened.

"Yes." Jian Su replied: "This man also owns a flower house in Dongjiekou, but the business has been sluggish in recent days. Lin Tianba came to make trouble that day. The second is to set fire to burn it down. It is said that his Eldest brother is Yu Wenli's current celebrity, he would not be an official in the court, but would rather be an aide in the prime minister's mansion, with this kind of relationship, Lin Tianba will inevitably be in high spirits and start to act recklessly."

"Then there's no need to stay." Yuwen Lingxi's eyes were full of coldness, she sneered and said, "Destroy my first floor and kill his family."
