Chapter 944: New Buds Sprout from Old Tree
When the pigeon flew back, Qin Xiaosi was next to Minglang.
At the end of the day, I finally fulfilled my duties as a secret guard.
When Nanxing saw the pigeon appear, she was about to catch it, but unexpectedly Qin Xiaosi was faster than her.
Minglang looked at this scene and stopped moving to enter the hall.
Qin Xiaosi caught the pigeon, took the letter from its claws, and handed it to His Highness.
Minglang didn't hesitate and took the letter and left.
The content written on the letter paper is very interesting, and it feels fleshy when you hold it in your hand.
When spread out, it is longer than Minglang's arm.
Most of the content above talks about the Qin family's past, and some of it is about Qin Xiaosi's revenge outside in recent years.
The word "yanfengsaosa" is half of the handwriting, and it is the work of Qiao Sui.
Most people can’t write characters as beautiful as hers.
After reading it, Minglang burned the note.
He picked up the pen and wrote a note again.
After finishing writing, he picked it up and looked at it, then put it on the fire again.
With Qiao Sui's ability, he shouldn't have been able to find out only these few things about Qin Xiaosi over the years.
There must be someone hiding something for him behind the scenes.
It’s not difficult to guess who this person is, but Qiao Sui just can’t find him.
In the following period of time, Minglang attended court as scheduled every day, and then accompanied his mother to the Yangxin Palace to review memorials.
The investigation into Qin Xiaosi seemed to have stopped on that day.
"Is Minglang still investigating Qin Xiaosi's case these days?"
Yun Ling massaged His Majesty's shoulders and responded softly:
"Your Highness has so many things to do every day that it's been a long time since he sent anyone to investigate Qin Xiaosi."
Liang Chongyue turned and stretched:
"I'm afraid it's not that I don't have time to investigate, but I'm considering whether it's necessary to continue investigating."
Liang Chongyue knew Minglang very well.
She knew some of the child's habits.
"What does your majesty mean?"
Liang Chongyue did not respond, but Minglang's men did not find what he wanted.
When necessary, I will naturally come to her in person to ask for it.
"Nothing, if Minglang comes back these days, just let her in."
Yunling nodded after hearing this.
Liang Chongyue didn't have to wait long that day.
It has been ten days since the flowers and plants from the backyard of the Cining Palace were delivered to the flower garden, and it has been seven or eight days since Qin Xiaosi took over the two pots of peonies.
Minglang hadn't been to the flower garden for a few days. The last time he went there, the flowers and plants in the garden were growing well.
It looked like it was almost ready, except for the two pots of peonies.
After Minglang took a look, his heart almost died.
The leaves of the two pots of peonies were almost gone, and the situation was even worse than before.
"You promised me that you would take good care of these flowers and plants."
The flowers and plants in the outer courtyard of the flower garden are all the work of the gardener. Even Minglang, who doesn't come here often, knows that they have nothing to do with Qin Xiaosi.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will definitely be able to take good care of these two pots of peonies."
The condition of those two pots of peonies really doesn't look very good.
Qin Xiaosi knew that no matter what he said now, it would be useless, but within three days, the peony branches would sprout again.
If you don't give up the old leaves first, new buds will not grow.
Minglang stared at the two pots of peonies for a while, closed his eyes, and turned away.
As soon as he left the flower garden, he instructed Nanxing beside him:
"Send someone to other places to urgently find me such peonies and transport them back to the capital."
Even rich farmers cannot grow such a precious variety of peony.
Nanxing took the order and left. Minglang did not return to the Cining Palace, but went directly to the Yangxin Palace.
As expected, the Queen Mother did not take a nap.
"Why are you here now?"
Liang Chongyue looked up and saw Minglang coming, and his eyes turned to Yunling who was waiting on the side.
"I will bring your Highness a cup of strong tea."
There is less than half a month left before Minglang goes out to travel, and Minglang doesn't want to disrupt his plans.
I just wanted to share more of the burden with the Queen Mother before leaving.
"I came here because I couldn't sleep. These haven't been dealt with yet, right? Let me do it."
Minglang was already very familiar with the job, and she started working without the Queen Mother even asking her to do anything.
Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne and looked at Minglang, his eyelids drooping a little.
"Go to my bed and sleep for a while. I dried the quilt in the sun at noon."
The sun was shining brightly this afternoon, and I heard that the quilt had just been dried in the sun.
Minglang was not sleepy at first, but the sleepiness came out just like that.
He yawned in front of the Queen Mother.
"Okay, go to sleep. It will be the same if you come to help me after you have had enough sleep."
Minglang no longer insisted after hearing this and put the things in his hands back to where he had picked them up from.
Liang Chongyue was watching her from the side, smiling dotingly.
After Minglang fell asleep, Yunling came in with some strong tea and placed it directly next to His Majesty's hand.
"Your Majesty's tea has gone cold. I'll give you a new cup."
"Didn't you say you wanted to give it to Minglang?"
Yun Ling chuckled and replied to His Majesty:
"Your Highness is supposed to take a nap every day at noon. How can you easily break this rule? I saw that the tea in your hand was no longer steaming, so I went out to bring you new tea."
"You are the only one who is poor."
Minglang slept soundly on the Queen Mother's dragon bed, and after waking up, he ate some sweet cakes and fruits.
I feel like I have more energy to work.
Minglang maintained this schedule for three consecutive days.
Basically, I spent most of the day in the Yangxin Palace.
If it wasn't inconvenient at night, she would have wanted to stay and sleep with her mother.
On the morning of the fourth day, Minglang accompanied his mother back to the Cining Palace for dinner. From a distance, he saw Qin Xiaosi waiting at the gate of the Cining Palace.
"It's unusual today. No one from Mother's side is waiting here."
Liang Chongyue smiled and joked, then walked in first.
"Your Highness, the peonies are sprouting."
Minglang's curiosity was immediately aroused.
"Are you talking about those two pots of peonies that I went to see a few days ago. They were all bare and had new buds?"
Minglang was a little unconvinced, as she didn't know much about this.
She took the time to read the book "Collection of Flowers and Plants" that Master Fei found for her.
She just felt that everyone has their own expertise and she was not cut out for growing flowers.
The last time I went to take a look, I saw that the peony branches were all bare.
Thinking that it was useless to remedy the situation, he could only order someone to send a new one from another place as quickly as possible.
I didn't expect that just a few days later, Qin Xiaosi could tell her that the peony had sprouted new buds.
"It's still those two pots of peonies. You didn't change them?"
Minglang was a little skeptical.
Qin Xiaosi guessed that His Highness would not believe it, after all, it was not possible for a dying tree to sprout new buds.
Few people who have never seen it will believe it.
"It will take more than a month to transport flowers from other places to the capital. Your Highness will know once you take a look."
Minglang took a deep breath. The aroma of food was not yet noticeable in the air. It seemed that the kitchen would take a while to serve the food.
"Let's go now," Minglang turned around and told Nanxing:
"If the Queen Mother asks, just say I have something to do and will be back soon."
