Chapter 078: Love That Burns (5)
Not long after General Gu returned home, the people sent by the emperor in the palace also hurried over, this time not only the imperial doctor, but also the most favored Duke Wan and the king of Nanling and Jin.
Pan knew that they had something to discuss, so he took Gu Yunjin and the sisters to leave Qingfeng Garden and went to Qinfang Garden, which was the nearest place to wait for news.
The hearts of the three were heavy, and none of them spoke.
After waiting in silence for nearly an hour, the maid sent to inquire finally came back to report that the King of Nanling and the others had left, and only the imperial doctor stayed in Qingfeng Garden to wait.
So, Pan took the Gu Yunjin sisters back to Qingfeng Garden.
In the main hall of Qingfeng Garden, General Gu was sitting with a gloomy face, and Gu Xiaochen, who was standing on the side, also had a solemn face.
"What did the Imperial Doctor say? Is the Dragon Prince's injury strict? As soon as Pan saw them, he asked nervously.
General Gu glanced at her and didn't reply.
Gu Xiaochen persuaded: "Mother, don't worry first, Prince Long's injuries have been treated, and the imperial doctor said that as long as he can wake up tonight, his life will not be in danger." ”
This means that the Dragon Prince is not out of danger. When Pan heard this, he became more and more nervous, but there was nothing he could do but sigh heavily.
Gu Yunjin asked Gu Xiaochen, "Fifth brother, can you find any clues?" Who was the one who robbed and killed the Dragon Prince? ”
Gu Xiaochen sat down at the table with a tired face, and said while pouring tea for himself: "At that time, the situation was critical, the other party was overwhelmed and vicious, I didn't have time to think about anything else, I just wanted to save people." Looking back now, I think they should be from the rivers and lakes. ”
"People in the rivers and lakes?" Gu Yunjin chewed these words, frowned and thought for a long time before he deduced: "Prince Long has not been here for a long time, he should not have a grudge with the people in the rivers and lakes, and now it seems that it is very likely that someone bought a murderer." ”
Pan Shi listened, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who could it be?" Why kill the Dragon Prince? ”
Gu Xiaochen and Gu Yunjin both shook their heads.
At the end, Gu Yunjin said in a low voice: "Maybe it has something to do with me and the marriage between the two countries." Otherwise, she really couldn't think of any other reason.
"Master, madam, the prince of Nanling is here." At this time, a maid came to report.
"Come in, please." General Gu stood up and said.
Soon, a red figure appeared in front of everyone, and greeted the Gu family politely and thoughtfully.
Gu Xiaochen took the lead to greet him, "Brother Dai doesn't have to be polite, you came to visit Prince Long, it's just that Prince Long is not awake yet, I'm afraid I will have to wait a while." ”
Dai Jinchao's gaze swept over Gu Yunjin, who was silent, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I'll leave when I see him, and when he wakes up, I have to trouble Brother Gu to help me tell me." ”
"It's easy to say, then Brother Dai, please." Gu Xiaochen stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and led him to the Dragon Prince's room.
About two quarters of an hour later, Dai Jinchao came out, and after saying goodbye to a few people in the main hall, Gu Xiaochen personally sent out of Qingfeng Garden.
After another moment, Pan Shi ordered: "Jin'er, Xin'er, there's nothing wrong here, you two go back." ”
"Yes." Gu Yunjin nodded in response, and said, "With the imperial doctor here, don't worry too much about your father and mother." ”
After coming out of Qingfeng Garden, Gu Yunjin and Gu Yunxin walked separately to their respective residences.
As the sun sets, birds fly across the sunset sky, leaving behind a crisp and melodious chirp.
Gu Yunjin raised his head and let out a long breath, only to feel extremely depressed in his heart. The current situation really made her feel powerless.
"I've seen the son." Beside him, Yue Liushao's voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Yunjin was stunned, turned around slowly, and saw Dai Jinchao walking out of the pavilion not far away. She couldn't continue to move forward, so she had to say without words: "It turns out that the prince is still in the house, I thought the prince had left." ”
Dai Jinchao said calmly: "I just finished talking to Brother Gu. As he spoke, his gaze turned to the moon willows, and the meaning was self-evident.
Gu Yunjin also saw it, and directly ordered Yue Liushao, who was in trouble, to retreat.
"Is the prince looking for me?" After waiting for Yue Liushao to retreat, Gu Yunjin saw that Dai Jinchao had not spoken, so he asked first.
"You...... What do you think? Dai Jinchao stared at her without blinking, and asked hesitantly.
Gu Yunjin smiled faintly and said, "What's the matter?" I don't understand what the Son of the World means. ”
Dai Jinchao looked away and was silent.
He didn't want to say it, and Gu Yunjin didn't ask. After pondering for a moment, he said solemnly: "The prince has always been extremely strong and accurate, presumably about the process of the dragon prince being robbed and killed, my fifth brother also sued the prince, I don't know what the prince thinks about this matter?" Can you guess who robbed and killed the Dragon Prince? ”
Dai Jinchao turned his gaze to her face again, looked at her quietly for a long time, and then said word by word: "You will definitely not believe my words." ”
I don't know if it's because his eyes are too sharp or what, Gu Yunjin actually felt a little uncomfortable, and at the same time she was faintly uneasy, but she still insisted on asking: "In this way, the prince knows who the murderer is, so it's better to hear it." ”
"Zhao Ziheng." Dai Jinchao slowly and gently spat out three words.
The simple three words could be heard in Gu Yunjin's ears as no less than thunder. Zhao Ziheng, how could it be him? He is the crown prince, the prince of a country, and he has a heavy responsibility, how could he rob and kill the dragon prince who came to the peace talks? She didn't believe it!
She calmed down her violently fluctuating feelings, stared straight at Dai Jinchao and said coldly: "I know that the prince has always been at odds with the prince, but no matter what, these trumped-up charges should not be imposed on the prince. ”
Dai Jinchao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "You mean, I declared a personal vendetta and framed him?" If you don't believe me, why bother asking me. With that, he turned away, leaving only a long figure in the setting sun.
Gu Yunjin was stunned and looked at his figure that was gradually moving away.
"Miss, are you alright?" Yue Liushao stepped forward, noticed that her face was a little wrong, and asked worriedly.
Although she didn't believe it, Gu Yunjin couldn't help but feel a panic in her heart, and her body was also cold, she asked Yue Liushao: "Liu Shao, what kind of person do you think the prince is?" ”
"Prince?" Yue Liushao was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, she gushed endlessly: "The slave thinks the prince is very good, especially for the young lady, she simply loves the young lady to the bones, in this world, I am afraid that there is no one who loves the young lady more than the prince......"
The more she went down, the more uneasy Gu Yunjin felt in her heart. Yes, the reason why she chose to marry the prince was because of the prince's favor and love for her, but if this love was mixed with something else, how could she accept it with peace of mind?
