Yun Xi slowly raised her head and found Lu Qingfan staring at her. There was a hint of grievance in those dark eyes as deep as night.

The "grievance" disappeared immediately after meeting her eyes, almost making her think she was dazzled.

"Is it not going well for your Excellency to enter the palace?" Yun Xi stood up and asked.

"...It's okay. What are you doing?" Lu Qingfan was more curious about Yun Xi.

"Prepare some medicinal materials for Mr.

It was one thing to know that Xin Huo's time was running out. Seeing that Yun Xi had prepared so many medicinal herbs, several of which Lu Qingfan would recognize as valuable, he was surprised and asked: "Can these medicines delay the time?"

"It also needs to be supplemented by inserting silver needles into the acupuncture points." Yun Xi pulled Lu Qingfan's sleeves and the two of them sat at the table again. She naturally handed over the potion and settled down clearly.

"It means pushing silver needles into acupuncture points to stimulate the body and ensure that the person will not die." Yun Xi saw his confused face and added a few more words.

When Lu Qingfan heard this, his scalp couldn't help but feel numb, but he naturally picked up the medicine residue in his hands: "Isn't this like punishment?"

"Yes, but the silver needle hurts at first when it is inserted into the acupuncture point, and then it doesn't hurt anymore." Yun Xi said seriously.

Lu Qingfan stopped asking questions and concentrated on his work.

After about a while, Lu Qingfan took the initiative to mention: "Prince Yi will come to the Ministry of Punishment tomorrow to work as an errand."

"He is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment?" Yun Xi asked in surprise: "Isn't the Emperor the one who announces the decree in front of the Third Division?"

"We're not far apart." Lu Qingfan nodded: "Although it's not stated clearly, that's what it must mean."

"...The emperor was waiting here." Yun Xi Bingxue was smart and immediately understood that she had not promoted the minister before and secretly built momentum later, all because of this!

"I didn't suffer any loss. I sent His Royal Highness to the Hanlin Academy." Lu Qingfan thought about this, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

However, the little girl did not feel happy. Instead, she held Lu Qingfan's wrist with a worried expression: "If you are wronged, sir, you can tell me."

Yun Xi knows better than anyone how Lu Qingfan worked so hard to resolve the case, and it makes no one feel good to have his credit wiped out by the emperor in this way.

"I feel wronged." Lu Qingfan admitted simply, then lowered his voice and said, "It would be better if you kissed me."

Yun Xi suddenly blushed, and the hand holding Lu Qingfan's wrist patted him sweetly and glared at him.

Lu Qingfan was so cute by Yun Xi's rare and ferocious expression that he was startled for a moment and then laughed for a moment.

Leng Chuan and Qing Guo, who were standing aside tinkering with things, stopped what they were doing early. Qing Guo stared at the adult with wide eyes and didn't know what he said. The young lady blushed and slapped him. That was so right!

"It's so sweet..." Qingguo murmured: "I'm so hungry. Brother Chuan, are you hungry?"

"...Hungry." Leng Chuan silently carried the bamboo dustpan in his hand and entered the kitchen with the little maid.

There was no one else in the yard, Lu Qingfan stared at the girl's soft lips with deep eyes, and said warmly: "Then do you still care about my grievances?"

Do you really want to kiss me?

Yun Xi's eyes flickered for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly stood up and leaned over to kiss Lu Qingfan on the cheek.

The unexpected soft touch, accompanied by the faint fragrance on the little girl's body, made Lu Qingfan's heart tremble, and he took the initiative to reach out and hook Yun Xi's waist.

His voice was calm and his expression remained unchanged, but the words he spoke were tight: "Kissing is not like this."

"What's that like?" Yun Xi asked knowingly.

"I'll show you how."

"..."

In a moment, Yun Xi, whose face was red, walked quickly into the kitchen, and Qing Guo and Leng Chuan, who were hugging each other, separated with a start.

Yun Xi blinked, and Leng Chuan immediately turned into a red shrimp and slipped away with rapid strides.

Qingguo also followed Yun Xi's example and blinked, pointing to the corner of her mouth: "Miss, why is your mouth so wet?"

wet?

Yun Xi felt ashamed and quickly raised her hand to wipe it away, but where did it come from?

"Okay, you are teasing me!" Yun Xi reacted and walked over to twist Qing Guo's mouth. Qing Guo was so scared that Qing Guo howled and said bluntly, "It's even!"

Outside the door, a satisfied Lu Qingfan was leaning against the table with his legs crossed. Looking at the red-faced Leng Chuan, he couldn't help but curl his lips proudly.

"Go and see the cold sea?"

"yes."

The master and servant walked to Leng Hai's house and looked at Leng Hai's sleeping face, their expressions became darker.

"Boy, how long are you going to sleep for?" Lu Qingfan asked in a low voice.

The only answer he received was the gentle breeze blowing quietly.

It was night, and a table of good wine and food was set up in Yunxi's small courtyard, euphemistically called "rewarding the aggrieved Mr. Lu". During the dinner, Yunxi gave full play to his advantage and filled Lu Qingfan's small plates, hoping to let everyone in.

He likes tonic.

Lu Qingfan glanced at the mountains of dishes in front of him, then picked up his chopsticks and started cooking.

On the other side, Leng Chuan also received the same treatment, except that he had much more dishes than Lu Qingfan.

After the dinner, Lu Qingfan said goodbye, and Yun Xi's master and servant cleaned up and lay down on the bed to rest.

In the quiet night, a quietly surging black figure suddenly headed towards the Criminal Department.

Inside the Xingbu Yamen.

In the darkness, the alert Lu Qingfan suddenly sat up straight, and a group of people in coats went out carrying long swords.

The fire in the dungeon was soaring into the sky, and several night guards were walking quickly with buckets of water in their hands, with panic on their faces.

The moment he saw Lu Qingfan, the guard looked at him and said, "Sir..."

"Fighting the fire." Lu Qingfan quickly rushed into the dungeon without waiting for them to elaborate.

There are some old criminals in the dungeon, as well as Niu Jingyuan and Xin Hao.

The person who set the fire must be targeting these two people.

Sure enough, after arriving at the dungeon, Lu Qingfan saw the guard helping the suffocated Niu Jingyuan out. He grabbed the man and asked, "Where is Xin Hao?"

"Yes, yes..." Before the officer could finish his sentence, Lu Qingfan felt the wind at his feet and rushed to where Xin Hao was.

In the dungeon, Xin Hao had fainted from being choked; someone else might have been able to save him, but Xin Hao's body could no longer withstand such torture.

Lu Qingfan immediately carried the person away without saying a word.

"Dong dong, dong dong!"

Yunxi Courtyard.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yun Xi woke up first. When she opened the door, she saw a disheveled Lu Qingfan carrying Mr.

The three of them took it with them.

"What's going on? Someone wants to assassinate Mr. Xin?" Yun Xi said in surprise.

"You have to remember what I say next." Lu Qingfan put the person down, grabbed Yun Xi who was about to administer an acupuncture to save the person, pursed his lips and said: "You and Qingguo can't make any mistakes."

"Okay, tell me." Yun Xi knew that this was a serious matter and must not be vague. She looked at Lu Qingfan seriously and waited for his next words.

Lu Qingfan bowed his head and whispered a few words to the master and servant...

Yun Xi and Qing Guo couldn't help but nodded after hearing this, and then started to work.

Lu Qingfan wisely came out of the room, one guarding Leng Hai's door with Leng Chuan, the other guarding Yun Xi's door...

When the sky was bright, Yun Xi walked out of the room with a sad look on her face. She shook her head at Lu Qingfan with red eyes and said: "Mr.

.”

Lu Qingfan looked at the sad but restrained little woman, pursed his lips and patted her shoulder: "Thank you."

Soon, the Ministry of Punishment issued an obituary: The crime committed by the criminal Xin Hao was so heinous that the emperor ordered him to be executed in the autumn. Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Punishment failed and many criminals were implicated and were on the verge of death. Among them, Xin Hao, who was seriously ill, did not survive.

Come here and die.

Ran Piao, who had just arrived at the Yamen, looked at the messy punishment department and murmured: "Why did the Yamen not look like a Yamen when I woke up overnight?"

"It's gone wrong, Xin Hao is dead. There is another more terrifying thing..." Ren Danqing, who came from behind, covered his mouth with a folding fan and whispered: "His Royal Highness King Yi is coming to the Ministry of Punishment as an errand. I'm afraid the Third Division will hand him over to him."

He rules."

When Ran Piao heard this, his eyes widened and he asked, "How come you knew it before me?"

Is he no longer qualified as a know-it-all in Beijing?

"I was pulled up by Mr. Lu this morning!" Ren Danqing sighed, with a little pride in the corners of his eyes and brows: "I have to write a petition for Xin Hao's death and submit it to the Holy Lord."

Ran Piao: "..." Why did he suddenly feel that the power of the fifth-rank official was not so comfortable?

"No, here we come." Ren Danqing said, pointing behind Ran Piao.

The handsome and free-spirited His Highness Prince Yi, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, holding an imperial edict in his hand and a smile on his lips, strode over.
