"When... Seriously." The housekeeper looked nervous. "Miss, the master has been away for years. If he comes back, the conditions at home must be better than now. Look at the yard, there are only a few of us. I don't need to talk nonsense."

Luo qingluan listened with a little more doubt in her heart, but she didn't say anything more.

"Forget it, just think he's dead." It's no use for him to live anyway.

Hongyu niangs don't need him anymore.

When she returned to King Chu's residence, Luo qingluan was more and more wrong. The decoration in Hongyu's house was very distinctive and eye-catching, but it didn't fit in her room because of the different styles, which was too suspicious.

Luo qingluan thought, ready to talk to him after Nalan night came back.

It turned out that it was dark.

Nalan Changyi played in the palace all day and came back after dinner. They had a good time with Nangong Yuxuan. The three have become good friends and agreed to bring storybooks and toys to the Palace tomorrow.

Su Yi is rarely free. She doesn't care about nangongyun. Usually she sticks to her very much. Suddenly she doesn't stick. Su Yi is still a little unaccustomed.

From time to time, I have to look at Nangong Yun. Once I see, she plays well with her two brothers. No one has to worry about it at all. Suyi just stole a half day's leisure. She sat down under the peach blossom tree in the yard, lay down and enjoy her leisure time.

"Have you heard from the people sent to benlei villa?"

When night fell, Liang Yuyan came back from the outside. Luo qingluan asked.

"Not yet, but calculating the time, it should have reached the boundary of benlei mountain villa."

According to the map provided by Nangong Yu, it's almost a day and a half from here to benlei mountain villa. It's only a day now, so it's still half a day's journey if you hurry up.

"I see." Luo qingluan nodded. It seems that the news over there will arrive at least the night after tomorrow.

"Don't worry, the case is going well. Today, they came to Yongan to find the Shangshu Li Dong and describe the general pattern and list of tribute according to the people he caught. I believe it's what happened these two days. A batch of sample drawings will be produced at that time."

With the sample map and list of tributes, things become much easier.

"Really?" Luo qingluan nodded, "that's good."

After all, if there is no sample picture, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no word "tribute" on the face of the tribute. Especially for specialty products, there is nothing left after eating.

Luo qingluan thought of several things she saw in the general's house during the day. She turned back and drew them. Could she use them when she saw them.

"Have you heard about the situation over there today?"

Nalan entered the palace at night today. It is estimated that a corruption investigation task force has been set up to investigate internal corruption. Several officials involved in the case before have to investigate all departments. However, he should not come forward. Other people will be specially responsible for the case.

"The task force has started the inventory work. Today, three suspects were found out at once. Now they are under investigation." Liang Yuyan has to take care of lengli, so most of the time the news from her side is passed by Yuan Xing and Yong'an.

"Well, it seems that they are busy these days."

At night, Luo qingluan painted the decorations of the day in the room. Just by virtue of memory, Luo qingluan's brain repeatedly recalled the patterns of those ornaments for a time. When Luo qingluan drew the ornaments completely, she found that she looked familiar.

"This

Isn't it an emerald bowl? "

This bowl is not an ordinary bowl. Its name is jade bowl, but it is not a bowl, but a basin.

Luo qingluan is sure that the shape of this thing is definitely not western Chu.

"Haven't you slept so late?"

Nalan pushed the door in the night and found Luo qingluan still in front of the lamp.

"You're back." Luo qingluan's spirit came down.

Recently, they have been very busy. They haven't talked well together for a long time. They often meet and say a few words. However, fortunately, they have experienced so much and have known each other for a long time. They will not be suspicious because of the occasional separation.

The heavy twilight fell on Nalan night's shoulder and brought in some coolness. He brought it to the door with a bowl in his hand and came over.

"Come on, eat something to cushion your stomach." Nalan said softly at night.

This is a bowl of meat pink translucent things. A faint smell of red jujube came. Luo qingluan suddenly had a big appetite: "red jujube lotus root powder, hot, just right."

"I know you like red jujube flavor. I specially added some ground red jujube powder to cook it. After eating it, I can replenish blood and beauty. It's just right for you."

Listening to what Nalan night said, Luo qingluan couldn't help laughing at him: "when did you learn medicine, so clear?" As she spoke, she scooped a spoonful. It was sweet and greasy. It tasted just right. It was Nalan night's craft.

Doting, he nodded her nose. Nalan night said, "didn't I learn from you? The lady is a great doctor. Although she hasn't seen anyone in the past two years, Weifu knows your great achievements in the past."

"Laugh at me?" Luo qingluan raised her neck with a smile.

Gently on her lips, Nalan night looked pitiful: "how can I laugh at you? It's too late to love you. My qingluan has always been the most powerful. My husband can marry you, but he broke hundreds of wooden fish in his previous life."

Luo qingluan laughed with a puff: "I haven't heard you say this for a long time, and it doesn't look numb."

With a slight smile, Nalan night took up the bowl: "if you don't eat any more, it will be cold, but you want me to feed you."

"Don't be. I'll do it myself." Luo qingluan quickly picked up the bowl, spoonful by spoonful, and soon finished eating.

Wipe her mouth. Luo qingluan was half full and touched her stomach. She didn't delay waiting for a rest.

Looking at the jade bowl painted on her hand, she pushed the paper in front of Nalan night: "look, Nalan night, what's the problem?"

As soon as I saw it, I knew it was painted by Luo qingluan. Since she asked, there must be something wrong.

Nalan night took it over and looked at it. He said, "look at the shape and the lines carved on it. This should be the style of Dongwan. Is that right?"

Luo qingluan smiled: "Nalan night, you are not only smart, but also have a good memory. You recognize it at a glance."

"I not only remember that this is Dongwan's unique jade bowl, but also know that this shape is generally from the royal family. Looking at the grain, it looks simple, but it is actually a simplified phoenix feather. Here, a small shape can see its origin. If it is not the royal family, ordinary rich people will lose their heads if they use it."

Nalan night said, "but now, Dongwan is already the minister state of the Western Chu. These rules have not been strict. If the officials of the Western Chu have to use them, the Dongwan royal family can't control them."

Luo qingluan nodded: "yes, but most Western Chu officials will not do such taboo things. At most, some upstarts collect some in order to show off. They are used to show off on weekdays, but they dare not use them openly."

As if he thought of something, Nalan night asked her, "what are you doing with this thing? Is there any clue?"

Recently, both of them are concerned about the theft of tribute and Leng Li's injury. There is no special reason. Luo qingluan wouldn't ask him so much.

Luo qingluan nodded: "yes, but Nalan night, guess where I saw this?"

Seeing her mysterious appearance, Nalan thought for a moment at night: "isn't it the general's house?"

Suddenly discouraged, Luo qingluan pouted: "Nalan night, how can you guess at once? It's boring. You can't even test you. Why are you so smart."

Looking at Luo qingluan, Nalan night hugged her slender waist: "isn't it good to be smart for your husband? Otherwise, if you ask me for a long time, I don't know. Don't you die of anger?"

"Well, I won't tease you."

Nalan night couldn't help but say, "when I came back just now, I just met the housekeeper. He said you went back to the general's house today. Besides, you didn't go anywhere else. If you think about it for your husband, you'll guess so."

"Well, well, you're good. I knew I wouldn't test you."

Returning to the topic, Luo qingluan stopped playing and seriously said to Nalan night, "you're right. I saw this jade bowl in the general's house. But Nalan night, don't you think it's strange? My father has been missing in Los Angeles for three years, and the people in the general's house also said he hasn't gone back, but I went to see my grandmother today. My grandmother died, leaving only Hong Yu and my brother..."

When Luo qingluan said what happened today, he also mentioned that Hong Yu didn't live in the king's house of Chu.

"Obviously, before we went to Dongwan, because we were worried about the safety of our grandmother, we took over the prince of Chu's residence together with Hong Yu and his brother. After all, they were all a family and took care of each other. But..."

Nalan night continued her words: "however, after we left for three years, Hongyu did not stay in the king's house of Chu, but went back to the general's house. If the general's house was still in Los Angeles, it was normal for them to go back, but Los Angeles was gone, they returned, and now there is this jade bowl that only Dongwan has, and everything will become a problem."

Looking at Nalan night's deep eyes, Luo qingluan grabbed his hand: "do you also think Hongyu has a problem?"

Nalan night said: "is there a problem? I can't guess. I need to investigate. After all..." his voice softened down: "Hongyu is also your stepmother. You used to know each other. If you hadn't introduced her, she wouldn't marry Los Angeles."

Nodding, Luo qingluan had some regrets.

If Hongyu has really changed and there is a problem, it is more or less a pity. However, compared with the importance of tribute theft, she will never be merciful. It's not her style to bend the law for personal gain. She once reported to Nangong Qing that even Los Angeles knew the law and violated the law. So far, she is still wanted. If Hong Yu is dragged down by Los Angeles, or has something to do with this tribute theft case, she will also destroy her family.

But now, I just hope she thinks more.

"Well, everything is just speculation. Find someone to check it carefully and let the truth come out." Nalan night comforted her, "well, it's so late today, don't talk about the offensive. What's there to talk about tomorrow."

Luo qingluan nodded: "well, we'll talk tomorrow. We won't talk tonight. We're very busy recently. You haven't had a good rest. Go to bed early tonight."

She didn't think much about it. She had some doubts that Los Angeles had secretly returned to the general's house, and she didn't mention it to Nalan night. She threw it aside for the time being.
