"Brother, why are you here?" This clear and beautiful voice came from not far away.

Li Chengqian turned his head and saw his mother and sister Li Mingda in the pavilion, waving to him.

Li Chengqian's heart moved, he wiped his face, stirred up his emotions, and then walked quickly towards that direction.

Entering the pavilion, I saw that Miss Wu, who had become my sister's personal maid, was also there.

Li Chengqian gave a slight nod to Miss Wu, who was not familiar with Brother Chu Bi, stepped forward to greet his mother, and returned the gift to his sister.

Before he could sit down, Li Mingda asked first.

"Brother, are you here to see dad?"

Li Chengqian thought of the countermeasures that Brother Chu Bi and Yu Zhining had discussed with him before, and nodded heavily, his tone sounding a little sad and angry.

"Yes, Brother Yu, I came here this time to report to my father about the fire in the East Palace..."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several women in the pavilion changed slightly.

The kind smile on Queen Changsun's face froze for an instant, she stood up and walked over. "What's going on? Are Xiang'er and your wife okay?"

Seeing his mother's heartfelt concern and nervousness, Li Chengqian felt warm in his heart. He explained with a forced smile.

"Mother, Xiang'er and Su are all fine. The fire started in Chongren Hall, which is located southeast of Li Zheng Hall. Only one room was burned down."

"Chongren Hall..." Li Mingda turned his bright eyes, and his beautiful and charming face couldn't help but become a little nervous.

"Brother, little sister, I remember you took me there before. Now Chongren Hall seems to be used by those medical officers compiling the "Datang Pharmacopoeia".

"Exactly, and the room that was burned down was specially used by the eunuch on night duty.

It is to guard the manuscripts and materials of the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" stored in the room next door."

After hearing this, Queen Changsun, who had always remained calm, could not help but look ugly at this moment.

"Sit down first before talking, Mingda, and bring your elder brother a cup of tea."

"Dalang, please tell me from beginning to end, when it happened."

Wu Meiniang's eyebrows were furrowed, but they gradually relaxed.

Li Chengqian pretended that he was following Brother Chu Bi in the East Palace, wandering around blindly and bragging and spanking, uh... that's not right.

He invited Brother Chu Bi to the palace and inquired in detail about Brother Chu Bi's itinerary and his preparations for building a palace after arriving in Luoyang, the eastern capital.

As a result, at this moment, in broad daylight, a fire broke out in an inconspicuous small hall in Chongren Hall.

If someone hadn't happened to go over to collect the information and check it in time, I'm afraid it would have been burned for a while.

There is a high probability that all the corresponding information in the "Datang Pharmacopoeia" will be burned. Even so, nearly one-third of it will be lost.

Li Mingda and Empress Changsun, mother and daughter, listened quietly and silently to Li Chengqian's story.

Two pairs of very similar and shrewd eyes never left Li Chengqian's face.

Wu Meiniang wisely followed Hu Shanggong and retreated outside the pavilion.

After hearing Li Chengqian's passionate words, Li Mingda obediently poured another cup of tea for his elder brother.

It seemed that he had something to say, but in the end, he heard his mother coughing softly from behind him.

Li Mingda held back and didn't say a word. He sat there very quietly and gently, quietly comforting his elder brother not to worry too much.

Li Chengqian looked at the girl whose face was full of concern, and felt very comforted in his heart.

As expected of her, she is indeed his good sister, and he deserves to be the one who often provides information and cover to her and brother Chu Bi.

After Empress Changsun let Li Mingda appease her eldest brother, she said with a warm smile.

"Mingda, please go back first. Mom has something to talk to your elder brother about."

Li Mingda received his mother's order and saw the look in her eyes. He stood up very wisely, agreed with a crisp voice, and left quickly.

After Wu Meiniang bowed to the pavilion, she followed Li Mingda's footsteps.

"Sister Wu, what do you think?" After Li Mingda took more than ten steps, he glanced back at the pavilion and continued walking without stopping, saying in a low voice.

Wu Meiniang's expression was very calm and indifferent.

"It's not unexpected, I just didn't expect that those people would use such methods. Although they are despicable, they are quite effective."

Li Mingda nodded with deep understanding. At this moment, this cute little girl with picturesque features appeared.

He is still so quirky, but his words are calm and wise.

"Yes, this kind of method of doing things is really vulgar. But it happens that the East Palace, which is like a fence, can really do it."

When the adjective "Li" was mentioned, Wu Meiniang and Li Mingda couldn't help but chuckle, and looked around at the same time, for fear of being overheard.

The person who likes to use this adjective is the most handsome boy in the old Cheng family.

The two continued to move forward slowly. Wu Meiniang glanced at Li Mingda who had a relaxed expression and couldn't help but whisper.

"Your Highness, aren't you worried?"

Li Mingda smiled brightly and continued to move forward with light steps, and his voice seemed so bright.

"What's there to worry about? My eldest brother has a face that can't hide anything, but everything is written on his face.

If there was really a big problem with the "Datang Pharmacopoeia", he shouldn't have such an expression."

Wu Meiniang smiled sweetly and said, "Your Highness is wise."

"Sister Wu, don't make fun of me. I think Sister Wu must have guessed the clues, so she is so calm."

"My mother asked us to leave first. She must have noticed it, and she is most likely giving advice to my eldest brother."

"My eldest brother is good at everything, but he is too honest and can't hide things..."

The two shrewd women whispered quietly while walking forward together.

When Li Mingda, whose sleeves were like dancing butterflies, gradually moved away, all the people in the pavilion also exited the pavilion.

Empress Changsun then moved to sit next to Li Chengqian, looking closely at this filial son who was not good at acting and whose true emotions were easier to show, and showed a kind and reassuring smile.

"Although Mom doesn't know who did it, the fire broke out during the day and it was in a place like that. Mom doesn't think it was an accident..."

After hearing what his mother said, Li Chengqian nodded in agreement. "Mother, I feel the same way, because things are too strange."

"The "Datang Pharmacopoeia" has now reached the final stage. It will be completed by the end of this year."

"It's really hard for something like this to happen at this time..."

"Mom, of course I believe you."

Looking at the angry eldest son Chengqian in front of her, Queen Changsun gently held his hand and spoke warmly.

"On the surface, it looks like the losses are heavy, but in reality, Chengqian, you have already made preparations, right?"
