Chapter 104: April is over, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom
When Lin Zhiqing saw that it was her, he felt a little relieved: "Cousin, did you get rid of them?"

Lin Yangyang nodded, squatted down without hesitation, and stretched out her hands.

Lin Zhiqing thought she was going to use her hands to dig out the stones and soil, so he raised his hand and was about to hand the sharp stone over to her.

The next second, with a "bang", Lin Yangyang retracted her fist: "Sister Qing, hurry up, you go first."

Lin Yangyang gave up her seat.

Lin Zhiqing threw away the stone in his hand, turned around and saw that the dog hole was indeed open.

"Cousin, there isn't anyone guarding outside, right?" Lin Zhiqing was very alert.

Lin Yangyang patted his head and said, "Wait for me, I'll go out and take a look first!"

As she said that, she went into the dog hole without hesitation.

Only after confirming that she was normal did Lin Zhiqing crawl out.

After regaining their freedom, the two immediately erased all traces of themselves and then left the Ministry of Justice.

Sitting back in the carriage, Lin Zhiqing lifted the curtain. The Ministry of Justice looked very lively, and he could faintly hear shouting.

"What happened? Someone broke into the prison? Is Fourth Uncle okay?" Lin Zhiqing finally had time to ask.

Lin Yangyang nodded, and the smile on her face disappeared. "Sister Qing, those assassins probably weren't coming for Fourth Uncle. When I rushed over to the Ministry of Justice's prison, the guards had already been taken care of."

"It was also a coincidence. The assassin's target was a prisoner not far from Fourth Uncle, and he kidnapped that prisoner."

"Kidnapped?" Lin Zhiqing was a little confused, but when he thought about the fact that this matter had nothing to do with his fourth uncle, that would be the best.

She put aside all the thoughts in her mind and focused her attention on her handkerchief.

"Cousin, I saw the body of Aunt Chun." Because her body was wet, she kept holding the handkerchief in her hand.

Lin Yangyang nodded, but shook her head, as if she didn't care at all what the evidence was.

Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly and was about to speak when he saw Lin Yangyang taking off her clothes.

The next moment, the nightgown that was originally on her was draped over Lin Zhiqing.

Lin Zhiqing was a little dazed.

Lin Yangyang rubbed his hands, blew a breath into them, and then placed his hands on Lin Zhiqing's hands:
"Your hands are so cold, you must have been soaking in the pond for a long time. Go back home and have a good rest first."

"We'll talk about the evidence tomorrow. It's already late today. If you run around like this, it would be bad if you catch a cold."

Feeling the warmth on his hand, Lin Zhiqing realized how cold he felt.

She did not refute Lin Yangyang's words.

When the carriage was halfway there, both of them changed into their own clothes.

After returning to the Lin family, Lin Zhiqing went straight back to his own yard.

Lin Yangyang volunteered to tell Lin Shian what happened tonight.

It wasn't until her entire body was immersed in the hot water that she completely relaxed.

Aunt Mu was muttering while adding hot water to the bucket, and her words showed her concern for Lin Zhiqing.

But Lin Zhiqing's thoughts had already flown far away.

As soon as she finished her bath, she returned to her bedroom and took out her handkerchief.

When they opened it, they saw that the dirt scraped off Aunt Chun's shoes had been pressed into a thin layer by the stones.

There are also a few petals inlaid on it.

She touched it with her hand and found it was wet soil.

And those petals… She looked closely.

It is teardrop-shaped, with a light pink color that gradually deepens as the petals become pointed.

It looked a bit like peach blossoms or cherry blossoms. Lin Zhiqing wasn't sure, so she spread the soil out again and carefully searched through it with a thin wooden stick.

It was not until she saw a hint of yellow that she became more careful.

It's the pistil!
Although it was not complete, Lin Zhiqing could still see that the pistil was very thin and slightly curved at the top, which was not consistent with the short and thick pistil of cherry blossoms.

Peach blossom?
Lin Zhiqing frowned slightly. It was the beginning of summer, which was April, and Dasheng was already starting to get hot.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be the season for peach blossoms to bloom.

But... Lin Zhiqing pinched her chin and remembered a poem.

In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

April is supposed to be the season when peach blossoms fade, but in the temples high in the mountains, the peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom.

This is because the temple is built on a high mountain. The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, and the flowers bloom slower than at normal temperatures.

In this case, there are still a few places in Shengjing City that meet the requirements.

She has to go tomorrow.

After putting the things away, Lin Zhiqing returned to bed and began to think about another problem.

Have the people in the Ministry of Justice found any clues about Peach Blossom?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing shook his head, it was unlikely that he hadn't noticed.

The people in the Ministry of Justice are not there to do their work for free. Logically speaking, they should be able to investigate cases faster.

If you find that, their judgment should be very similar to yours.

So the competition is... who is faster!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing slowly stood up and told Aunt Mu to take some money and ask a few beggars.

The main purpose was to find out where in Shengjing City the peach blossoms were still in full bloom, and the other was to find out about the prison break that took place in the Ministry of Justice tonight.

Although she had cleaned up all her traces, she was still afraid that the people from the Ministry of Justice would discover the problem and hold her and her cousin accountable.

After arranging all this, she drank a bowl of ginger soup, felt a little dizzy, and soon fell asleep.

……

When Lin Zhiqing woke up again, he felt cold all over and there were some noisy sounds in his ears.

"Doctor, why hasn't Sister Qing woken up yet?"

"Qing'er just caught a cold, is she seriously ill?"

How did she hear Jiang Liuyun's voice? Was her brain burned out?
Lin Zhiqing wanted to open his eyes to find out what was going on, but his body was completely out of control.

"Your Highness, Miss Zhiqing indeed just had a cold, and due to overwork, she developed a fever." This seemed to be the voice of the court doctor.

With Lin Zhiqing's continuous efforts, she finally lifted her eyelids and opened her eyes.

Cousin, cousin, Jiang Liuyun?

No, why is Jiang Liuyun here?

Lin Zhiqing was a little dazed, and even suspected that he was hallucinating because of the fever.

While listening to the court doctor's words, Jiang Liuyun took the wet towel from Aunt Mu's hand and wanted to put it on Lin Zhiqing's head.

As soon as he turned around, he met Lin Zhiqing's dazed eyes: "Qing'er, you're awake!"

Lin Shian and Lin Yangyang, who were discussing the situation with the court doctor, hurried over when they heard this.

"Sister Qing, how are you? Are you hungry?" Lin Yangyang touched Lin Zhiqing's forehead.

Feeling the stinging pain in his throat, Lin Zhiqing didn't say anything and shook his head slightly.

"I told you not to go to Jianxin Hall last night, but you disobeyed me. Now you have caught a cold, and you are suffering." Lin Shian added.

This was a message to him... Lin Zhiqing heard it, with an outsider like Jiang Liuyun present, they must have concealed the matter of the night visit to the Ministry of Justice.
