After a short period of recuperation, coupled with Cheng Jinzhi's careful care day and night, Gao Heng's injuries have improved greatly, although he cannot use force for the time being, he has been able to walk freely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's just that because he hasn't been able to show up in the palace and the court for several days, even if the Yan Wangfu claims to the outside world that he was only slightly injured by a sneak attack by assassins, it still arouses the suspicion of the East Palace and those who have a heart.

Since the last rumor incident, the crown prince and Empress Zhao were each punished in the palace for half a month, during which the attitude was sincere and good performance, and now it coincides with the end of the year, Emperor Zhou took advantage of the beginning of the new year, Vientiane renewal to exempt the two from the ban.

This was originally a good thing for the two of them to be thankful for, but what made them frightened was that the news that Gu Hanqing had been temporarily pardoned and returned home suddenly came out of the Spirit Slaughter Division.

As soon as Gu Hanqing was pardoned, it meant that things had taken a turn for the worse and had developed in a completely different direction.

Tu Lingsi acted secretly, and the prince was still grounded, so he didn't dare to make much action in private, so he didn't notice that Gu Chen had been controlled by Cen Feng, and only thought that Tu Lingsi hadn't moved for so long, probably because of the lack of important clues, which made the case fall into a stalemate.

Unexpectedly, he had just been exempted from the ban and had not had time to take a breath to prepare for the new year, when he was suddenly hit in the head by such a shocking news.

What they didn't know was that Cen Feng deliberately chose to let Gu Hanqing go at this time, on the surface it was to prove to outsiders that he was innocent, but in fact, it was to lure the snake out of the hole and make the prince's side fearful, so that he could take action and expose his feet.

After all, if Gu Chen's whereabouts were exposed rashly, not only could he not directly accuse the prince of his evil deeds, but he might also be killed, so it was better to let the prince and Empress Zhao guess and figure it out by themselves.

At such times, the more incomprehensible the situation is, the more bottomless the hearts of those who are hiding in the shadows, and they are often the most likely to mess up because of a momentary impatience.

As soon as these two pieces of news were transmitted back to Yanwang's Mansion, Cheng Jinzhi's first reaction was joy, and his second reaction was anger.

She is happy because after going through so many twists and turns, Gu Hanqing was finally able to clear his name, regain his freedom, and be able to spend the New Year at home with peace of mind.

She was angry because the rumors had tossed her enough, but the crown prince and Empress Zhao had only been confined to the palace for half a month, and Emperor Zhou ordered a ban on contact, which was too cheap for them.

However, Gao Heng was very calm and indifferent to Emperor Zhou's pardon, and seemed to have expected him to make such a move.

Regarding Gu Hanqing's exoneration, since he had already learned about Gu Chen's testimony from Cen Feng's mouth before, he had already expected that this was Cen Feng's plan, so he didn't feel anything sudden.

Since the last time he reunited with Gu Hanqing outside the Hou Anhou Mansion, Cheng Jinzhi has always had a knot in his heart.

Now that he has returned to the palace safely, he wants to visit with Gao Heng, but unexpectedly, Gao Heng said that he suddenly needed to enter the palace urgently, so let her go to the Gu Mansion alone to visit.

In fact, Gao Heng did this just to make room for Gu Hanqing and Cheng Jinzhi.

He knows very well that no matter how time passes, no matter how the two of them put away their thoughts in front of others and pretend to be fine, they will one day sit down calmly and let go of their past suspicions and face each other calmly.

This is something Cheng Jinzhi has to face, and it is also something he can't escape.

………………

The Gu Mansion in front of her was still as chic as when she first met, exquisite and elegant, and red lanterns were also hung high on both sides of the eaves to welcome the New Year.

After marrying Gao Heng, he never went to this mansion again.

It's just that for some reason, even if there is a rendering of the festive atmosphere of the New Year, she can look at the mansion along the vermilion lacquer gate, and there is no one on the square straight road, which can't help but make her feel a little more bleak and solemn.

"As I expected, you really came, Jinzhi. ”

Just as Cheng Jinzhi stepped into the threshold and was taken to the backyard by the little guy in the house, this Gu Hanqing hadn't seen it yet, but Cheng Sujin was dressed in a wide-sleeved Luo Cui new clothes, accompanied by two subordinates, and walked over, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

As soon as he saw Cheng Sujin's aggressive posture, Cheng Jinzhi stood still, and his heart immediately tightened, and he secretly said that it was not good.

In Cheng Sujin's eyes, Cheng Jinzhi is the least able to contact Gu Hanqing's tumor, and he is also the person who should not appear in Gu Mansion.

If Gao Heng went with her, she would have somewhat restrained herself in consideration of Gao Heng's identity as the King of Yan, but now that she was alone, and she was clearly going to visit Gu Hanqing, how could she let it go easily?

Now that Gu Hanqing has finally been able to avoid going to prison and return home safely, even if she is a nominal young master's wife, she must be overjoyed, so she naturally has to stay in the mansion to guard her husband from time to time, and by the way, she will get closer to her already cold feelings.

"Eldest sister, you appeared so coincidentally, did you expect me to come over, so you ambushed here?"

Cheng Jinzhi thought about it, so he stepped forward with a smile and calmly met her gaze.

"What kind of ambush? What are you talking about?" Cheng Sujin tugged at the corners of his mouth and frowned, "I just heard from someone that you came to visit Hanqing, since I am the young lady of the Gu family, I naturally have to come to welcome you, the princess." ”

She laughed sharply, then looked around a few times in confusion: "But... Why didn't His Royal Highness King Yan come? I heard that he was attacked by assassins in the palace a few days ago and was injured, could it be because of his injuries that he was unable to move? Or did you sneak out without him?"

Hearing Cheng Sujin's prickly words, Cheng Jinzhi snorted coldly in his heart, but his face was still disapproving: "Our Royal Highness has only suffered a slight injury, and the injury has long been healed, because there is something important today and I urgently need to enter the palace, so let me come first, let the eldest sister spend so much thought, I'm really embarrassed." ”

Cheng Jinzhi said that he was about to bypass her and walk to the backyard, but saw Cheng Sujin blocking him, as if he didn't want to see Gu Hanqing as soon as possible.

"Oh, Jin Zhi, when did you become so polite. By the way, I haven't thanked you for helping to persuade my eldest brother last time. You really have a way of dealing with men, my eldest brother refused to marry the lord of Lingrong before, but as soon as you said it, he agreed to it, which is really admirable. ”

"What does it mean to have a set of dealing with men? Your aunt and uncle have given you New Year's greetings!"

Cheng Jinzhi narrowed her eyes, rolled her eyes in her heart unhappily, and just wanted to refute it, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking slowly not far away, which made her suddenly put away the gloom on her face, and the whole person unconsciously quieted down.
