  In the flower hall, He Qingxiao and Duan Shaoqing sat opposite each other, each holding a cup of tea.

  Following the servant's announcement that "cousin girl" has arrived, Duan Shaoqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  He didn't understand very much, wouldn't He Qingxiao feel embarrassed drinking tea without saying a word?

   "Uncle looking for me?" Xin You slightly knelt towards He Qingxiao, "Master He."

   "Qingqing, Mr. He has business to see you."

  He Qingxiao stood up: "Master Duan, is it convenient for me to have a private chat with Miss Kou?"

  He asked politely, but his tone could not refuse.

  Duan Shaoqing also stood up: "You talk."

  He Qingxiao glanced at Xin You, and said with a smile, "It's enough for Miss Kou and I to go to the courtyard and have a few words."

  The courtyard is open, so you don’t have to worry about someone hiding in the dark when you talk about something secret.

  The two went to the courtyard and stood on the porch.

  Snowflakes were flying outside the corridor, Xin You quietly looked at He Qingxiao.

  He Qingxiao said directly: "I was summoned just now, and ordered me to bring Mr. Song Ling into the palace."

   "Just now?"

   "Yes, just now."

  Xin You's eyes moved.

   It seems that after leaving Heyuan, meeting her reminded that person of watching "Journey to the West".

   "Miss Kou, do you know where Mr. Songling is?"

  Since Emperor Xingyuan asked about Mr. Song Ling, Jin Linwei has been paying attention to the news about Mr. Song Ling consciously or unconsciously. Mr. Ke Songling's whereabouts are still a mystery. If "Painted Skin" and "Journey to the West" hadn't come out, people would even wonder if there was such a person.

   "The last time I saw Mr. Song Ling, he handed in all the follow-up manuscripts of "Journey to the West". From what he said, it seems that he is going to leave Beijing temporarily." Xin You said what he had thought about for a long time.

   "Leaving Beijing?" He Qingxiao's expression was difficult to distinguish.

  Xin You calmly said: "Master He just responded like this."

  He Qingxiao's heart moved slightly, and he reminded: "If you don't see Mr. Song Ling today, you may be called into the palace."

  Xin You raised her lips: "I know."

  He Qingxiao's eyes darkened, and he had doubts about Mr. Songling's identity.

   After a moment of silence, he nodded: "Okay, I will report this to Imamami."

   "Master He, walk slowly." Xin You wanted to send He Qingxiao out, but he stopped him.

   "It's still snowing, Miss Kou doesn't need to send it off."

  He Qingxiao left in a hurry, Duan Shaoqing approached Xin You to inquire about the news: "Qingqing, what did Master He ask you?"

  Xin You looked indifferent: "Does Uncle want to inquire about today's affairs?"

  Duan Shaoqing's face darkened: "You can't talk nonsense, uncle cares about you."

  Xin You raised his eyelids: "Uncle really wants to care about me, why don't you give me more money. After all, my parents left me 400,000 taels in the Shaoqing Mansion."

  Duan Shaoqing shivered subconsciously.

  The dead girl wants money again!

   Seeing Xin You leaving with a cold face, Duan Shaoqing was relieved instead of getting angry.

  Back to Wanqing Residence, Xin You sat in front of the vanity mirror.

  The girl in the mirror has picturesque eyebrows, which seem to be a little longer than at the beginning of the year.

   "Xiao Lian, help me comb my hair again."

  Xiao Lian picked up the comb and asked with a smile, "What hair do you want to comb?"

  Going to the banquet today, Xinyou is wearing a cloud bun.

   "What kind of hair does Ms. Kou usually like to wear?"

   "Our girls often wear double-ring buns." Xiaolian said without thinking.

   "Then give me a double ring bun too."

  The girl's hair was thick and smooth like satin. Xiaolian dexterously twirled her ten fingers to tie her bun, took two delicate pearl flowers and inserted them into the bun: "It's done."

  Xin You got up and smiled at her: "Thank you."

  Xiao Lian was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?"

"My servant—" Xiaolian subconsciously wanted to suppress the thought just now, and her trust in Xinyou still made her say it out, "It's just... After a long time, the servant feels that the girl is not so similar to my Qingqing girl, but just now At that moment, I felt very like…”

   "Really." Xin You glanced at the mirror again.

   "Girl, are you going out?"

   Just now, Xiao Lian followed her when she went to the flower hall, but she stood far away. I don't know what He Qingxiao and Xin You said.

  Xin You looked out the window: "Maybe."

  In the study room, Emperor Xing Yuan stopped and walked, turning around and around, until he heard the servant announce that Chang Lehou had arrived.

   "Let him in!"

   Soon there was movement at the door, and seeing that He Qingxiao came alone, Emperor Xing Yuan asked anxiously, "Where is Mr. Song Ling?"

   "Weichen went to Qingsong Bookstore to ask, but they don't know the whereabouts of Mr. Songling."

  Emperor Xingyuan was quite dissatisfied with this result: "Then how did this script come about? Mr. Songling's manuscript can't just fly to Qingsong Bookstore, right?"

He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, and said as Xin You said: "Every time Mr. Songling submits a manuscript, he only sees the owner of Qingsong Bookstore. I asked Miss Kou, and she said that Mr. Songling covered his face when he saw her. I don't know what he looks like..."

"Absurd! A famous book writer in the capital, no one knows his appearance and where he lives, and Jin Linwei can't find out!" Emperor Xing Yuan was very annoyed, his eyes swept over "Journey to the West" that he almost scratched, and his anger rose If you are poured a basin of ice water, cool down.

  Under the premise that Mr. Songling and Xinxin know each other, it is not difficult for this person to hide himself.

"When was the last time Miss Kou saw Mr. Songling? Did Mr. Songling say when we will meet next time—" Emperor Xing Yuan raised his hand, "That's all, you bring Miss Kou into the palace, I will ask her personally. "

"yes."

  He Qingxiao went to the door of Shaoqing's mansion again, Duan Shaoqing was not surprised, but also a little apprehensive.

  Then the girl must have been involved in something, right?

  Xin You soon got the news.

   "Please, Ms. Kou, come with me."

   "Okay." Xin You walked to He Qingxiao's side.

  Duan Shaoqing couldn't help asking: "Where is Master He going to take Qingqing?"

  He Qingxiao took a deep look at Duan Shaoqing, and said with a warning: "It's better that Mr. Duan doesn't know."

  Duan Shaoqing's heart shuddered, and he smiled sarcastically.

   "That's right." He Qingxiao stopped, "Master Duan had better not talk about taking Miss Kou away today."

   "The lower officials know." The corners of Duan Shaoqing's mouth trembled, and he thought to himself that he is not a fool. Is it a good thing for people to know that his niece was taken away by Jin Linwei for no reason?

  Xue didn't intend to stop, Xin You got into the carriage, He Qingxiao rode in front, and went straight to the imperial city.

  Red walls and golden tiles, white snow falling rustlingly, the waiter had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, when he saw the two of them, he rushed up and led the way to the study.

   "Your Majesty, Miss Kou has arrived."

   "The daughter of the people has met His Majesty."

  When going to the banquet, Xin You combed the cloud-like bun, which was smart and elegant, but now she changed to the double-ring bun, which made her look a little more childish.

  Emperor Xingyuan’s anxious mood froze for no reason when he saw this face so similar to himself, and a strange thought arose: it seems more appropriate to give bead flowers than golden hairpins—

  After reacting, Emperor Xingyuan coughed: "Miss Kou, do you know where Mr. Songling is?"

  Sun Yan standing in the corner looked at Emperor Xing Yuan in shock.

  Seeing the emperor's angry look earlier, he thought he would speak harshly to Miss Kou, but he didn't expect to be so kind.
