Gao Heng's carriage slowly stopped outside King Yan's mansion, he lifted the curtain expressionlessly and looked up at the big red lantern hanging in front of the mansion, his gaze suddenly dimmed, and then disappeared into the heavy fog in his eyes.
Without Cheng Jinzhi's company by his side, he seems to have changed back to the lonely person he used to be, and the whole person is more cold and arrogant than usual, which is very incompatible with the hustle and bustle of this New Year.
As soon as he stepped out of the carriage, a familiar figure suddenly came into view.
I saw him dressed in a dark green coat, with a circle of white mink on his collar, standing with his hands in his hands, standing quietly in front of the mansion.
After hearing the movement of the carriage and horses parked behind him, he turned around a little anxiously and walked quickly in front of Gao Heng.
"Hanqing, why are you here at this hour?"
Gao Hengjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked at Gu Hanqing with a worried expression in some surprise, but after only a moment, he realized that Gu Hanqing must have come for Cheng Jinzhi's sake this time.
"Since it's the New Year, as a friend, it's also appropriate to come and visit the door, right?" Gu Han smiled indifferently, but he couldn't wait for Gao Heng to speak, but went straight to the point, "Actually, I heard that Jin Zhi committed an accident in the palace yesterday, and was also beaten into the Nine Hidden Platforms by His Majesty, dare to ask His Highness, what is going on?"
Although Gu Hanqing's tone sounded full of worry, there was clearly a hint of questioning in addition to this.
He was willing to put away his feelings for Cheng Jinzhi before, and fulfilled the two of them, hoping that Cheng Jinzhi could break free from all the unpleasant memories in the past and live a happy life under Gao Heng's protection and care.
But now she heard that she was suddenly in danger, but Gao Heng was safe and sound, which made Gu Hanqing feel a burst of remorse in his heart, regretting that he had given up Cheng Jinzhi so decisively and decisively, and did not make the slightest effort.
He even wanted to question Gao Heng in person: "Why didn't you protect her?"
"The news of the Gu family is really well-informed, so quickly I know what happened in the palace last night. ”
Thinking of Cheng Jinzhi's mention that the bottle of "Nine Xuan Hundred Herbs Treasure Pill" coated with poison was given by Gu Hanqing, although Gao Heng didn't believe that Gu Hanqing did it, his expression couldn't help but become a little colder.
However, he didn't say a word about it, but invited Gu Hanqing to step into the mansion together and go to the small attic of Nanyuan.
Treading the snow and looking for plum was waiting in the house, wanting to accompany Cheng Jinzhi to the temple to ring the bell and pray for blessings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but now he saw that Gao Heng did not see Cheng Jinzhi, and he couldn't help but be very surprised. But out of the etiquette between the master and the servant, he didn't dare to ask directly, so he could only go to Shen Jun, who had been following Gao Heng, to inquire about the situation.
Gu Hanqing had a keen perception, and naturally he also noticed the subtle change in Gao Heng's attitude, and only thought that he was still remembering the fact that Cheng Jinzhi was drunk in the Gu Mansion before, so he still had some mustard in his heart.
It's just that now he has no time to guess about these chasing after the wind and shadows, and all he is worried about is Cheng Jinzhi, who is in danger at the moment.
"I heard Jin Zhi say that you sent a very valuable New Year's gift to my house?"
Gao Heng put down the teacup and stared at Gu Hanqing opposite, trying to find an answer from his bright eyes that he wanted and hoped to get.
Seeing that Gao Heng didn't say anything about Cheng Jinzhi, but mentioned the New Year's gift inexplicably, Gu Hanqing's expression was very puzzled, and he just wanted to open his mouth to turn the topic back, but he heard Gao Heng say with a serious face: "This question is related to the safety of Jinzhi." ”
"What?" Gu Hanqing's eyes twitched, but he couldn't guess Gao Heng's intentions, and after a moment of silence, he nodded truthfully, "Yes, this gift was carefully selected by me and given to His Highness and the Golden Branch." ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it's called the Nine Xuan Hundred Herbs Treasure Pill. I heard the doctor say that this medicine can cure all kinds of poisons, and after taking it, it can also protect all kinds of poisons from invading, and it is indeed a miracle medicine in the world. Gao Heng's eyebrows moved, and the corners of his mouth were lightly tugged meaningfully, "But is this gift too expensive?"
As soon as he heard Gao Heng's specious words, Gu Hanqing knew that something must have gone wrong with the New Year's gift he had given, so he said bluntly with a calm face: "When does Your Highness like to beat around the bush when you speak?" Does Your Highness not like this gift, or is there something wrong with this gift?"
Looking at Gu Hanqing's dark and transparent eyes, apart from a touch of confusion, he could no longer see any hidden and deceitful emotions.
In other words, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the eyes of a person with bad intentions.
What's more, in Gao Heng's mind, Gu Hanqing is not such a sinister person at all.
So he put away the wavering trust in his heart, and after thinking about it for a while, he roughly told Gu Hanqing the ins and outs of last night's incident, including the big oolong caused by the bottle of "Nine Xuan Hundred Herbs Treasure Pill", and he also told all of them without reservation.
And after listening to Gao Heng's story, Gu Hanqing's first reaction was the same as Cheng Jinzhi's, frowning in disbelief.
Gao Heng was even glad at this time, fortunately, Cheng Jinzhi handed over this medicine by accident last night, otherwise if she took it without knowing the truth one day, she would not only be imprisoned in Jiuyoutai like now, but would have died directly.
"It's so strange, I specially sent someone to transport this medicine from Quanzhou, and I also checked it myself, and only after confirming that it was correct, did I send it to the house, how could it be soaked with the poison of the broken intestine grass?"
Gu Hanqing tightened the corners of his eyebrows, intertwined his hands together, and lowered his head with a grim face, recalling all the details about this New Year's gift in his mind.
Suddenly, as a vague outline gradually became clear, it finally seemed to freeze on a person.
"It's her, is it her hands and feet?"
The "she" in Gu Hanqing's mouth naturally refers to Cheng Sujin, who hates Cheng Jinzhi to the core.
Gao Heng naturally thought of one thing with Gu Hanqing, after all, if anyone in the Gu family would want to put Cheng Jinzhi to death, it would be only Cheng Sujin, who is now the wife of the young master but is not favored.
After figuring this out, the atmosphere of solemnity and suspicion between the two eased a lot.
But Gu Hanqing began to worry about Cheng Jinzhi's state of mind at this moment, afraid that she would misunderstand herself.
In addition to this worry, there is also Cheng Jinzhi's guilt and self-blame because of his own negligence.
What's more, after learning that Cheng Jinzhi took all the blame for Gao Heng's safety, the sadness that spread endlessly in the bottom of his heart.
