Chapter X
Jin Zhong knocked on the door at the right time, holding a small vermilion box, and the delicate red lacquer box exuded the fragrance of mung bean cake, and handed it to Yan Zhao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The aroma of food diluted the uneasiness in Yan Zhao's heart, and Gu Changlan also removed the thoughts on his face and looked at her quietly.
"I'm sorry. Yan Zhao lowered her head, fiddling with the mung bean cakes in the box, those mung bean cakes were like naughty children's faces, making fun of her inexplicably, she picked up a piece, bit it into her mouth fiercely, and swallowed the unprovoked spread of affection into her stomach.
What is she sorry for, if she is sorry, it should be for them.
Gu Changlan looked at her, only to feel that there was a beast in his chest, which was about to tear out at any time, and he would take everything out for him, but he didn't dare, he clenched his hands tightly, and let the pain like a needle prick restrain himself.
"Lord Wang, you help me take a look at this, you see if you have seen such jade anywhere. Yan Zhao clapped his hands, watched Jin Zhong go out, and took out a jade plaque from his neck.
It is a piece of fine mutton fat white jade carved without matter, the texture is delicate and warm, with a layer of soft luster, the buckle of the jade plate is carved with a phoenix, the phoenix tail hangs down long, and the jade plate is tightly wrapped in the middle.
"Although such white jade is rare, it is not uncommon. Gu Changlan only glanced at it and said.
"Ahh
"Since this is something you carry with you, don't show it to others. Gu Changlan stood up, gave a tired expression, and went back to his room.
Yun Man was already waiting for him inside, two sealed letters in his hands.
"One was sent from the palace, and the other was sent by Xu Shaoqing of Dali Temple. ”
Gu Changlan took the letter and sat down slowly, he felt a faint dull pain begin to appear all over his body, it was a sign that the drug and toxicity had faded together, he rubbed his forehead, and unfolded the first letter.
"Fu Longjue. ”
Three simple words, but Gu Changlan sat up straight, he pinched the letter and seemed to be a little unconvinced, and then opened the second letter.
"Musulfone. ”
It was still two simple words, as if they wanted to prove the content of the previous letter, which made Gu Changlan stand up.
Mu sulfone, the word is long and broad, was born in the year of the first emperor and the crown, and then the first emperor has been nothing, at the age of ten was set up the prince, he sat firmly in the position of the prince for ten years, the first emperor gave birth to a pair of twins, although one was sent away, but it has also become incompatible.
Two years ago, the emperor was seriously ill, and the crown prince was already weak, so he tried his best, but he was still defeated by Mu Cai, and fled with his old subordinates.
And he also returned to the capital at this time, and intervened in the court three years after the incident.
The word Mu sulfone has not been mentioned for two years, but today it once again appeared in the secret letter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Gu Changlan couldn't hide his excited look, but he still carefully burned the letter into a charcoal basin, and then scattered the burnt pieces of paper one by one with jade, then stretched his brows and said to Yun Man: "We will return to Beijing tomorrow." ”
"What arrangements are made over there for Miss Yan?" asked Yun Man.
"Early tomorrow morning, you go and inform the county lord of Ping'an, we will go with their people, and Jin Zhong will stay to take care of Yan Zhao. ”
"Yes. ”
"Have you found out about the concubine?"
"There is nothing wrong with the secret letter, and the subordinates are looking for someone to check the people on the concubine's side. ”
Gu Changlan was silent for a moment, he rubbed the wrench on his hand, and said: "The concubine is a person who understands, she knows what she wants, if it is a secret letter that she takes, it must be related to her mother's family, Su Guogong, if it is not taken by her, then it has something to do with the emperor." ”
It is not difficult to find out his whereabouts, but it is even more difficult to know exactly where to find him.
Is it really for his marriage?
"You don't have to go to the palace, let people stare at the Su Guogong Mansion. ”
"Yes. Yun Man responded, turned around and retreated, he returned to the room, and saw that Song Cheng was already asleep, so he still cautiously clicked his sleeping hole, and wrote Gu Changlan's instructions on a very small piece of paper with special ink, and all the people were referred to with a code to prevent being robbed, and then put it into a thumb-sized bamboo tube.
In the dark night, there was silence, even the snow stopped, in this silence, Yun Man pushed open the window, put the bamboo tube on the window, bent his index finger to his lips, and whistled twice.
It was the cry of the gray sparrow that would still haunt the snowy night, one long and one short, and after a few breaths, it called again.
When he finished howling, he saw a dark shadow sweep down from the roof, and disappeared with the bamboo tube in the blink of an eye.
When Yun Man had done this, he went out and knocked on the door of Jin Zhong.
Jin Zhong only slept for two hours, because of Gu Changlan's poisonous hair and Yan Zhao's accident, she was already sleeping lightly, and she woke up very awake tonight, hearing Yunman's unique knock on the door, and hurriedly put on an old cloak and opened the door.
"Are you sleeping inside?" asked Yun Man in a low voice.
When the master returned, he fell asleep. Jinzhong's voice was a little tired and hoarse, she looked at the sky, and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet, it's time for dawn in two hours." ”
"Here is an urgent letter, you have to leave early in the morning, the master told you to stay here, do not go out of the inn, there are secret guards on the left and right, can protect the three of you. ”
"I see, I'll go and get some of my master's clothes first. The bell gently closed the door and lit the oil lamp.
Yun Man still did not rest, but knocked on the door of the head of Ping'an County and arranged to leave early in the morning.
The county lord of Ping'an was not asleep soundly, and the sound of footsteps from the porch at the other end of the night made her upset, how could she sleep peacefully.
She sat alone in the darkness, and did not even cry out to the girl who was keeping vigil, but opened her eyes wide and looked at the tightly closed door, the snow outside the window shining through the window paper, allowing her to faintly see the scene in the house.
The footsteps on the other end were deliberately lowered, but they were still so abrupt in the quiet night, she hated to rush out the door to see what was going on, but she couldn't, she didn't dare.
There lived the indifferent and arrogant Gu Wangye who was like a god's mansion, she loved him and feared him from her bones.
Obviously, the emperor has the same face as him, warm as jade, kind and warm, but she always feels that when the emperor laughs, he is so hearty, but his eyes are cold.
But Gu Wangye is different, he has a cold face, and most of the time he sits motionless, thinking about it all day long, not knowing what he is thinking.
His cruelty and coldness were written on his face, but he didn't care at all, as if he didn't leave a way back for himself.
But who doesn't like such a person, she likes it, and other ladies in the capital also like it, how much effort did she make to get closer little by little, a person like Gu Wangye, after all, needs a woman like herself to match.
She was so motionless in the darkness that she was startled by the sudden call of birds, and it was not long before she heard some slight movement, as if murmuring and closing, and then heard footsteps getting closer and closer, knocking on the butler's door.
It was Yun Man's voice, she finally couldn't hold it anymore, and said softly to the door: "Is it Yun Man?"
