Yue Ying stood in front of the inn that was just outside of Qingyang City, and a young man of about half a year of age rushed over, "Miss, are you going to be a snitch or are you going to stay here?"

Yue Ying smiled, "Let me ask you something. Six days ago, was there a man with a weird aura who brought a peasant woman to your shop?"

The kid's expression tightened as he said with a straight face, "There are a lot of guests coming in and out every day. I'm not too sure about what you're talking about."

Yue Ying took out a silver horn and waved it in front of him, "Can you remember it now?"

When the boy saw the silver, he immediately changed to a smiling face. "I remember, I remember it clearly. The guest asked for a room. The woman never raised her head. The child in her arms isn't even full moon yet."

He laughed, "I have never seen that child, but Mother He has seen him before, and she praised that child's luck! Unfortunately, that person wasn't careful and the child was stolen by the peasant woman. Sigh! What a pity! "

Yue Ying had stolen the Xiao Liufu, and then snatched it back. However, on the way back, she was carried away by the peasant woman.

Now, they could only find the peasant woman in order to find the Xiao Liufu.

She sighed and dismounted, handing the reins to the boy. "Feed us good grass and some beans and take us to the room where they lived."

The boy quickly took the silver and led the horse. After tying the horse up, he brought them into the backyard.

Ever since someone had died in this courtyard, no one was willing to stay there anymore. Seeing that brat being especially attentive to her, Yue Ying did not know that he was actually ridiculing her and Yue Yong as fools.

He pushed open the door. It was a neatly made bed. The room was smoked with wormwood and had a faint fragrance.

Yue Ying lied on the bed without saying a word, thinking that the Xiao Liufu had also slept on this bed before.

Yue Yong carried some food in. The weather was hot, and they travelled the entire morning.

The food was very simple. It was only five or six steamed buns, two side dishes and a plate of scrambled eggs.

Yue Yong set up the food and called Yue Ying: "Miss, eat some before you sleep. We've already found this place, and we will soon see the Young Master. Don't worry, with the mark left by Manager Tian, we will definitely be able to find them."

Yue Ying's eyes were a little wet, "I hope so!"

Just as she finished her meal, she suddenly heard someone crying on the other side. She was already very frustrated to begin with, but now that this person was making a ruckus, she could no longer rest.

She walked out with a cold face and saw that it was only a girl of fourteen or fifteen. However, she had a woman's bun on her head and was crying bitterly on the door of the room opposite.

Yue Ying could not help but ask with sympathy, "What are you crying for?"

"My sister died here, and today is her seventh. I'll cry twice, and hope that Yama is spared from her crimes, so that she won't have a good birth in her next life, like in this one!"

When Yue Ying heard her talk about the first seven, didn't that mean it happened six days ago? Maybe she knew something?

"Your sister died six days ago. Have you ever seen anyone who lived in this room?"

The little girl nodded and complained, "That master is too fierce, he said that I cried too loudly and scared the Young Master, but I can only watch as my big sister was killed by the Mother He, I can't help at all, how can I not be sad, if not for me, how would big sister become his concubine, hmm, it was all because of me, he is a jealous woman, he cannot tolerate my sister, much less my sister's child, hmm hmm."

Yue Ying rubbed his forehead, it was truly dog blood, she had truly met with this kind of thing!

She sighed and gave a silver ingot to the little girl. "You should pay your respects elsewhere. I think your sister wants to see you happy and not so sad."

If you really want to help me, then take me with you. I don't want to serve that old man, his entire family doesn't have any good things, the Mother He wants to beat me to death just like that, I can't die, I have to tell Master about what she did, she caused my sister's death, and also caused the death of my sister's child. I saw, that's a boy! It is the only bloodline the old master has in half of his life. "

Yue Ying originally did not want to meddle in this matter, but when she heard the little girl's words, she suddenly felt as if something had rang in her head.

Right!

It was his son!

That old master's only bloodline had died in half a lifetime, the Mother He must be responsible for it. Yue Ying's gaze tensed up, and felt grateful towards this little girl called Pearl.

"Miss! Please, take me in, I can do anything! " Pearl knelt in front of Yue Ying and begged.

Just as Yue Ying was about to speak, three to four female servants rushed into the courtyard. "Alright you little slut, you still dare to sneak out, see if I'll beat you to death!"

Pearl got up and ran.

Yue Ying quietly pointed to her own house, and Pearl ran in gratefully.

Yue Ying walked out of the inn as if nothing had happened. After knowing the whereabouts of Xiao Liufu, she felt much better in her heart, as she did not want to see this troublesome matter happen again, so she let Yue Yong deal with it. She knew that if Yue Yong saw the pretty girl's temper, he would definitely help his!

The afternoon was hot and no one moved on the road, but at this time, a group of officials rode towards Qingyang City, causing Yue Ying to jump in shock. She just happened to be outside the door, when the horse passed right in front of her, it was only one step away.

She still felt a lingering fear. If she had taken another step, her life would have ended here.

The shopkeeper at the side also broke out in a cold sweat as he said, "Fortunately, I'm fine!" Fortunately, he was fine! Madam, please don't go out. I heard that the emperor passed away. It's a mess outside right now! "

Yue Ying was startled, in her mind, she recalled the man who only cared about maps and not her wife, although his body was weak, there was nothing major wrong with it, why did she suddenly die?

Inside the palace, the atmosphere of the Han Spring Hall was heavy. Huai Shan held the jade seal in his hand and the bottle with an imperial edict, as he glared at the big and small concubines in the underground palace.

Noble Consort Guo sat at the head of the table and said coldly, "Sister Hui, you are an old man of the palace. Other people would not even mention you are the one who has been with the emperor the longest.

She used the handkerchief to wipe her eyes. "I can understand your intention of letting the Second Prince succeed the throne, but how can you use such a method?" "For the sake of us sisters, I will not hand over your matters to the Ministry of Justice. This is a crime of extermination due to the extermination of the family, you should end it yourself. After all, the Second Prince and Li'er are brothers and sisters, and I will take special care of you for the sake of the late emperor."

Hui Fei, who was on the ground, lost her usual spirit and cried, "I didn't harm Your Majesty, I was wronged. When I sent the soup out, the emperor was already too weak to drink it all, little sister! "We haven't had any grievances in the past few days, so you should let me go. Tomorrow, I will go and advise him that he and the Fifth Prince are the closest. He will definitely help the Fifth Prince manage the Zhou Dynasty well.
