Chapter 53: Night Visit
Since a new servant has been added to the East Wing Pavilion, Wuyou naturally can't come and go at will, so Zhao Shuxuan has to take advantage of the night before he can call him over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was late at night, and there were still lights in the east wing, and Zhao Shuxuan wore a white robe and stood in front of the half-open window, waiting for the appearance of Wuyou. But after waiting for a while, there was no trace of Wuxi, which was not like his usual style.
In the silent pavilion, the night watchman was dismissed by Zhao Shuxuan, and the empty courtyard was particularly spacious, and it was pitch black at the moment.
Zhao Shuxuan felt a little tired, her eyelids were a little heavy, there was a sudden gust of wind outside the house, and the window lattice was blown to a "squeak" sound, Zhao Shuxuan poked her head out, thinking that it was Wuyou, she looked left and right, but did not see a figure, and at the moment when she turned around, she felt that someone was flashing around her, Zhao Shuxuan looked back at the window again, but there was still no one. When she turned around again, she was startled.
Gu Qingyuan brushed his robe, leaned on Zhao Shuxuan's soft collapse upright, raised his eyes and glanced at the girl who was shocked, and raised his lips and smiled. Touching Zhao Shuxuan's scattered bedding material, Gu Qingyuan said disgustedly: "I haven't changed it after covering it for so long." ”
Wuyou didn't wait, but it was Gu Qingyuan who waited. Zhao Shuxuan's face is like the sky before the rainstorm, black and oppressive.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Shuxuan's voice was extremely cold, as if the person in front of her had a deep blood feud with her.
Gu Qingyuan's lazy hands folded behind his head, still with a smile, said to Zhao Shuxuan: "There are guests coming from afar, Miss Zhao is actually treated like this, is the hospitality of the General's Mansion like this?" He raised an eyebrow, looked at the room carefully, shook his head, and sighed softly.
The rescued girl was still in his house, and Zhao Shuxuan couldn't treat him too politely if he wanted to come, so he had to calm down and look a little gentler, before he slowly spoke: "Taifu is so late and doesn't sleep, what are you doing in my room?" ”
"Isn't Miss Zhao waiting for me? I heard that you have been standing there waiting for me for a long time, and I am embarrassed not to come. ”
Hearing this, Zhao Shuxuan was stunned for a moment, and pondered carefully, there was a lot of connotation in these words, "Could it be that Taifu always pays attention to my every move?" ”
Gu Qingyuan faced her rhetorical question, looked at Zhao Shuxuan's narrow phoenix eyes full of tenderness, and he smiled: "Of course, you and I have an agreement, of course, we have to care about Miss Zhao's every move." ”
Zhao Shuxuan was dumbfounded for a while, gave him a blank look, wrapped himself in a robe, and walked to the soft chair and sat down.
"Do you have any news?" Gu Qingyuan said casually.
Zhao Shuxuan naturally knew that he didn't come tonight to leave after a few teases, there must be something to say, so he asked lightly, "What news?" ”
"About the murder case of Huamen Tower."
Zhao Shuxuan's eyes flashed, and she suddenly fell asleep, waiting for Gu Qingyuan's next sentence. But Zhao Shuxuan didn't ask, and Gu Qingyuan didn't mean to continue.
Zhao Shuxuan had no choice but to ask, "How?" What was found? ”
Gu Qingyuan's eyes froze slightly, and he opened his lips and said: "The one who died was a geisha in Huamen Tower, who was killed by Pei Qing, the son of Master Pei, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department. ”
Pei Qing, Zhao Shuxuan Although he doesn't know much about this person, he has met a few times, this person is idle, relying on the power of his family, and he is known as the little overlord all the year round. But this little overlord has nothing to do, he still spends his days drinking, and he is not happy.
"Between the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, the interests are colluded, and they have long been reduced to one, so they are naturally ventilated. How did you know about this? Zhao Shuxuan asked.
"I know what I want to know."
Zhao Shuxuan asked again: "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Dali Siqing are all cronies of the prince, can Qi Muyao interfere in this matter?" ”
When Gu Qingyuan heard Zhao Shuxuan ask like this, his eyes became a little deep, and there was no lack of inquiry into Zhao Shuxuan. Zhao Shuxuan was also stunned, only to know that he was a little impatient.
"Many people were present that day, and they were able to block the tongues of so many people, so that this matter was suppressed so quietly, if it wasn't for the prince to come forward, how could Dali Temple handle it so neatly?" Gu Qingyuan said.
Thinking about it, it is impossible to cover up this matter so cleanly with the strength of the criminal department's Shangshu, although Dali Temple is friendly with the criminal department, but there is no clear arrangement from above, and it will never dare to wade into this troubled water easily. There are many people involved in this matter, of course, it is extremely beneficial to Zhao Shuxuan, if Qi Muyao wants to protect his right-hand man, then he is responsible for cutting it off.
Zhao Shuxuan showed a subtle smile, which was quickly overshadowed by a solemn look. "What are you going to do?"
Gu Qingyuan put away his smile and said to Zhao Shuxuan very seriously: "What you want, I plan to do it." ”
"You are the person next to Qi Muyao."
She still didn't believe it, Gu Qingyuan didn't care, changed her posture of leaning, and said expressionlessly: "Just because I'm the person next to him, it's better to provide you with news, isn't it?" ”
"Yes."
"Interfering in this matter is not an easy task, and it may lead to death." Gu Qingyuan looked at Zhao Shuxuan, "Are you afraid?" He thought of her panicked attitude when she faced the man in black last time, and deliberately mentioned it.
What he said was about, how could Zhao Shuxuan not understand, she closed her eyes, and said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to solve any problems, if I choose this path, I have to keep going, I have no way out." ”
She was afraid, she was afraid that someone would die at her hands, but if she stopped like that because she was afraid, then she and her family would die at the hands of that man in the future.
People's hearts will become harder and harder.
"Good." Gu Qingyuan just wanted to see her so resolute and resolute, he got up and sat on the soft collapse, surrounded by her unique fragrance. "Anyway, it won't be long before you and I will be a family, and you can choose to believe me."
The corners of Zhao Shuxuan's mouth twitched, and what caught her eyes was Gu Qingyuan's good-looking face, she bit her lower lip tightly, and her heart was a little shaken.
As Hollyhock asked her, did she really think about it?
In the previous life, she fell into an emotional whirlpool and took the lives of her family; In this life, she fell into the black hole of hatred and hitched into her own life of happiness.
Zhao Shuxuan's eyes were still like a layer of mist, which could never be dissipated, and she heard Gu Qingyuan say to her: "You are really cruel to yourself." ”
Zhao Shuxuan laughed loudly, it was obviously the girl's beautiful laughter, but when Gu Qingyuan heard it, he felt a chill in his heart.
She said to him, "If you are charitable, when will you get a good end." ”
This sentence echoed in Gu Qingyuan's mind for a long time, and it wasn't until a long time later that he really understood the meaning of her wanting to live like this.
