Gu Qing didn't go to Fuyun Hall at night, but turned back to Xuejing Courtyard, and then told Wen Qing to go out of the mansion and take Kumquat back to the palace for questioning.

After the Gu house burned down, Gu Qingwan bought an ordinary house and placed all the people of the Gu family in it, and Kumquat also suffered some injuries that day and has been recuperating.

She was only brought into the palace at noon, and Gu Qing saw Kumquat in the flower hall of the Snow Courtyard in the evening.

After retreating, Gu Qing asked Kumquat to sit down in the evening, and said, "I called you here today, it doesn't matter, I just want to ask you again about the time before and after the fire that day." Think about it again and tell me about that day. ”

Kumquat nodded and said, "Early that morning, the slave maid sent breakfast, and the lady sent the slave and maid out after using it, and the lady did needlework in the inner room herself." The slave maid saw that there was nothing wrong, and heard the sound of the merchant walking through the streets and alleys in the back alley, and read that the rouge was almost exhausted, so the slave and maid took the purse and went to the back door. Before the slave could buy the rouge, she suddenly heard screams and commotion in the courtyard, and when the slave and maid looked back, the main room where the lady lived was connected to the ear room and the back cover room at the back were full of smoke. ”

A look of horror flashed on Kumquat's face, and he said: "The slave and maid hurriedly ran to the upper room, and when they arrived in the courtyard, the upper room was already burning, and the slave and maid rushed into the house, but the Duobao Pavilion and the door frame that went to the inner room at that time were all burning, and the smoke and fire were particularly large, and the slave and maid couldn't break in for a while." But when the slave heard that the lady was still alive at that time, she still talked to the slave and the maid, and she said that she should let the slave and the maid flee first, and she immediately rushed out. The slave maid listened to Madame's words, and then rushed out again, but when she called Madame again, Madame did not respond, at that time, Mother Wang and Mama Liu wanted to save Madame from the window, but the window seemed to be bolted from the inside, and it couldn't be opened, and before Mama Liu called someone to kick open the window, the fire burned very close......

Gu Qingwan twisted her eyebrows when she heard this, and said: "When the fire started, my sister-in-law had already eaten breakfast, and the window in the inner room should have been opened early in the morning for ventilation, how could it be bolted from the inside?" ”

Kumquat paused, thought for a while, and said, "Yes, the window was opened by the slave maid in the morning, and maybe the window was closed when the lady was doing needlework in the inner room later?" Or maybe something burned down and blocked the window. Anyway, the windows really couldn't be opened at that time. ”

Gu Qingwan's eyes narrowed slightly when she heard this, and she said, "Okay, I know, you can go back first." ”

Sent away the kumquat, Gu Qingwan tapped her fingers lightly on the table, thinking about the kumquat's words.

She thought it was strange that Kumquat had opened the window early in the morning, but when the fire broke out, the window had been blocked from the inside.

The weather was very good that day, the sun was shining, the air was fresh, and it was neither hot nor cold, and the sister-in-law was doing needlework in the inner room, and it was when the light was needed, and there was no reason to close the window.

Kumquat wanted to rush into the inner room, but the passage was blocked, but the fire girder at that time should not have fallen, so that the window was blocked.

The window wouldn't open, someone had to close it from the inside. The sister-in-law clearly said that she would not let Kumquat in, and she could rush out by herself, but when Kumquat came out of the house, there was no response from inside.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that the sister-in-law deliberately blocked the kumquat from entering the house, the sister-in-law has been in the inner room, and the window in the inner room cannot be secretly bolted, the sister-in-law closed the window herself, or someone closed the window in front of the sister-in-law, and the purpose is naturally to prevent the kumquat from entering, preventing Wang's mother and others from entering.

Gu Qingwan's heart was pounding, and a smile appeared on her lips. A fire, but it's really a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

Qin Yu had returned to the Snow Courtyard in the evening, and before he entered the house, he heard the sound of humming coming from the window. I don't know what kind of song Gu Qing is humming in the evening, melodious and melodious, the tune is cheerful, and people's hearts are brightened up after listening to it.

Qin Yu unconsciously paused, stood under the porch with his hands in his hands, and did not go into the house, for a moment he remembered that he was injured in Prince Yi's mansion in the past, and coaxed Gu Qing to sing to him at night.

Her singing voice was beautiful, and she amazed him at that time. This is the first time Qin Yu has heard Gu Qingwan automatically hum a small tune, he stood under the porch and listened to the hook of the corners of his lips, seeing Wen Qing coming out of the pantry with a tray, seeing that he wanted to salute, Qin Yu raised his hand and pressed it, beckoning Wen Qing to come closer, and asked in a suppressed voice: "What did she do today?" What's the joy of it? ”

Wen Qing was slightly stunned, a little dazed, the girl seemed to be a little different from usual, very happy, but if it weren't for Qin Yu's reminder, Wen Qing didn't notice it, and expressed her inner admiration to the careful second master, Wen Qing shook her head and said: "Nothing special happened, by the way, on the way to Fuyun Hall this morning, my aunt ran into the county lord of Yunyao leaving the palace, and got into the carriage and talked for a while, and then met the Gu family's slave Jinquat, as if she asked something." In the afternoon, the princess summoned her aunt to come over and talk, and rewarded her with a few pieces of leather for winter wear, as well as a few pieces of silk. ”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and said, "Reward? Why did the concubine reward? ”

Wen Qing said with a smile: "It was the princess's head wind attack before, didn't my aunt go over to serve the soup every day, at that time my aunt also sent a box of self-made ointment, the balm princess has been using it all these days, I like it very much, and said that with the balm made by my aunt, my complexion is much better, and I am refreshed every day." ”

Qin Yu couldn't help but smile even more when he heard that Gu Qingwan and his mother were getting along so happily, so he stepped into the house.

Gu Qingwan was happily standing by the table in front of the window, taking out the flower branches cut by the maid from the garden from the bamboo basket and inserting them into the white porcelain and red plum dendrobium, she was wearing a plain white wide-sleeved right shirt, and under her head was a light blue flowered pleated skirt, with no waist seal, but the loose clothes showed that her figure was more slender and slender, and her beautiful neck was exposed from the slightly open neckline, and the light outside the window was reflected on it.

Her curved chin and neck glowed with layers of pearls, and her whole body seemed to be bathed in a halo of holiness. Qin Yu looked at this quiet and beautiful scene, and his heart was a soft mess.

His footsteps stagnated slightly, and then he stepped over again and circled Gu Qingwan from behind.

Gu Qingwan was very involved in arranging flowers, and he trembled slightly in his arms when he was frightened, and when he turned around, he glanced at Qin Yu coquettishly, and slapped Qin Yu's head with the chrysanthemum branch in his hand, and said, "As soon as you come back, you will scare people!" You are so hateful, I really don't know what Lord Yunyao likes about you! ”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, approached Gu Qing later, grinded with her ears and temples, and said, "What does Qingqing like about you?" ”

Gu Qingwan rolled her eyes, glanced at Qin Yu, and said, "What do I like about Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't know?" ”

Seeing Qin Yu's face focused and curious, his different-colored eyes seemed to crush the stars, Gu Qingwan looked at him and said solemnly: "I naturally like the handsome born by His Royal Highness!" To tell you the truth, Your Highness is the most handsome man I have ever met. ”

Qin Yu, "......"

Gu Qingwan was no longer looking at his depressed appearance, turned around and bent down slightly, fiddling with the flower branches. Seeing a smile on her lips, Qin Yu unconsciously raised his thin lips lightly, and said, "Qingqing is very happy today?" Could it be because of the reason why Lord Yunyao left the palace? ”

Gu Qingwan didn't look back when she heard this, blinked, pulled out a chrysanthemum that had just been put into the dendrobium, cut it slightly shorter with flower scissors, put it back in, fiddled with it twice, and said, "Well, sort of." ”

Her good mood did start because of the departure of the county lord of Yun Yao, and Gu Qingwan didn't plan to tell Qin Yu about her discovery.

Qin Yu's eyes suddenly brightened a little more, and he tightened the arm around Gu Qingwan's waist, and said, "So, Qingqing minds the Lord of Yunyao very much?" Will Qingqing eat for you? ”

Gu Qingwan turned her head and looked at Qin Yu again, she pursed her petal-like lips slightly, nodded under Qin Yu's expectant gaze, and said, "Naturally, is the woman next to me thinking about His Royal Highness, am I still happy?" Your Royal Highness, the county lord of Yunyao is really not very good, and his scheming is too deep, if His Royal Highness wants to marry the princess of the county, don't be this woman. But this woman is also strange, why did she quit with all her heart, could it be Your Highness that you did something, right? ”

Naturally, the matter of the county lord of Yun Yao would not come out, and Gu Qingwan didn't know what was going on.

In fact, Gu Qingwan is a modern person, and the lord of Yunyao County is engaged and likes Qin Yu, Gu Qingwan is understandable. If the county lord of Yunyao retreats from her relatives in a bright way, strives for happiness, and pursues Qin Yu, Gu Qingwan will applaud her and praise her for her brave personality.

The county lord of Biyun Yao has made some unacceptable means, her mind is deep, and her calculations are heavy, this woman is obviously not a bright and frank person, gloomy and terrifying.

Gu Qingwan was going to run away, and he didn't want Qin Yu to be harmed by such a woman.

Qin Yu listened to Gu Qingwan's straightforward expression of dislike for the county lord of Yunyao, but his heart blossomed, his different-colored eyes were as clear as rippling spring waves, and his handsome face was also dyed a little bright, becoming more and more handsome.

He didn't answer Gu Qingwan's question about the sudden departure of the county lord of Yunyao, but said: "The lord has said that he will not marry the princess of the county, if the lord has the princess of the county one day, it will only be Qingqing." It can't be the Lord of Yunyao! Qin Yu kissed Gu Qingwan's neck, and his tone was affirmative.

It was the first time Gu Qingwan heard him say that the princess of the county would be herself, she glanced back at Qin Yu in surprise and said, "What did you say?" ”

Qin Yu smiled, changed the topic, and said, "By the way, the person who went out of Beijing to escort Liu Huijia back to his hometown today has returned." ”

Gu Qingwan's eyes suddenly lit up, she threw away the flower branch in her hand and turned around, "How is it?" Did you get that guarantee? ”

Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, took out an envelope from his arms, shook it between his fingers, and said, "Master's people are always safe. ”

Gu Qingwan was about to reach out to get the letter, but Qin Yu raised his hand, and then raised his eyebrows at her, Gu Qingwan stood on tiptoe and put a little water on Qin Yu's thin lips, but after a heavy sip, Qin Yu touched his lips and took the letter to her.

Gu Qingwan couldn't wait to open it, took out a piece of paper from it, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was the same as Liu Huijia said, it was indeed a guarantee written by Zhou Dingxing and pressed the handprint.

It is clearly written on it that as long as Liu Minsheng helps him put the treason letter in his grandfather's study, he will be allowed to serve as a servant of the six ministries in the future. The date is two months before the fall of the Gu family, and below is Zhou Dingxing's blood-red thumb print.

Gu Qingwan's face was slightly gloomy, she leaned back on the case, fumbled the paper twice, raised her eyes to look at Qin Yu, and said, "Has Your Highness shown this letter to the prince?" ”

Qin Yu's eyes fell on Gu Qingwan's face, and he said half-loudly: "Not yet, after a while, after finishing the meal, the master will go to see his father and discuss this matter." ”

Gu Qingwan didn't speak again, lowered her gaze slightly, and groped for the letter a few more times before she said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Qin Yu pulled Gu Qingwan into his arms and hugged her, rubbed the top of her hair with a resolute chin, and didn't say much.

It was day and night, Gu Qingwan was a little absent-mindedly leaning on the bed reading medical books, waiting for Qin Yu to come back from the study of Prince Li in the front yard.

After turning two pages, she couldn't read it. He simply threw the book aside and stared at the lightly jumping candlelight.

Regarding the result of Qin Yu's search for the prince, Gu Qingwan was actually not optimistic.

Zhou Dingxing did slander and frame his grandfather and father, but behind this matter, it is likely that Emperor Qin Ying is standing. Even if Emperor Qin Ying was not the mastermind who framed the Gu family, he was just deceived by Zhou Dingxing, but in the end he ordered his grandfather and father to be beheaded, and it was Emperor Qin Ying who caused the unjust case.

Now even if he gets the important evidence that Zhou Dingxing framed the Gu family? The emperor's attitude is always more important than the truth.

Zhou Dingxing's letter was thrown into the court, and once it was confirmed, Emperor Qin Ying was the first mediocre king of Great Qin, ruthless and unrighteous, disrespectful to his teacher, stupid and incompetent, and framed meritorious heroes...... Emperor Qin Ying would not allow this situation to occur.

Therefore, Zhou Dingxing's letter of guarantee will never see the light of day.

Unless, Prince Li's Mansion wants to completely tear his face with Emperor Qin Ying, unless Prince Li has the intention of rebelling and usurping the throne!

Gu Qingwan was thinking clearly, so Qin Yu was willing to take the letter of guarantee to see Prince Li, so she would say thank you, and her heart would float.

It's just that Qin Yu may have a heart, but Gu Qingwan is not optimistic about the result. Although Emperor Qin Ying wanted to seize power, he had been fighting for power with Prince Li and Prince Yi as regents, and there were constant conflicts.

But so far, it's been skirmishes that haven't touched anything. Even Prince Li has deliberately made concessions in the past two years, and some time ago he even avoided living in another courtyard and did not go to court for a long time.

Prince Li's attitude is not like putting on a show to cover up his rebellious intentions, but it seems that he really has the intention to avoid Emperor Qin Ying's edge. There is also Qin Yu, if Prince Li is really a show, Qin Yu will not be so arrogant when facing Emperor Qin Ying.

Gu Qingwan twisted her eyebrows and shook her head, the matter of the Gu family was originally her own hatred, and she never thought of relying on Qin Yu for anything.

She didn't think much about it, picked up the book again, and this time didn't run away again. So much so that when Qin Yu came back, Gu Qing didn't hear any movement at night, and the book in her hand was taken away, so she raised her head in surprise.

Her eyes were already slightly red, and she blinked a little dryly, Qin Yu frowned disapprovingly, and said, "Don't read any more books in the future!" ”

As he spoke, he dragged her, and Gu Qingwan fell on Qin Yu's lap. Qin Yu's big palm pressed on her eyes, Gu Qingwan obediently closed her eyes, felt his dry and slightly hot palm, and gently rubbed her eyes.

Very comfortable, she gently hooked her lips and said, "If I read at night, and there is a beautiful man who provides such considerate and thoughtful service, then I should stay up late every day to read." ”

Qin Yu chuckled, kept moving his hands, and said, "You really regard Ye as your maid, ah?" ”

As he spoke, he freed up one hand and slapped Gu Qingwan's buttocks hard.

The rabbit that had just rolled out of Qin Yu's cuffs, when he heard the sound, his small body shook, covered his face, and panicked for Gu Qing's pain.

"Squeak!"

It jumped onto Qin Yu's arm and shouted twice in protest, obviously reminding Gu Qing to escort him at night.

Qin Yu snorted through his nose, "Eat things inside and outside!" ”

Gu Qingwan covered her buttocks, rubbed it and sat up, picked up the rabbit and rubbed it on the side of her face, and said: "Your Highness has only fed it a few times now, and the rabbit is eating mine now, this is called Zhi'en Tubao, if it is facing you, then it is called eating inside and out!" ”

Tutu stood in Gu Qingwan's palm, and nodded his little head vigorously in agreement, the nectar of the jade lotus is not eaten for nothing, it is a good spiritual pet that knows how to repay it.

But recently it seems to have eaten too much nectar, it feels that it is developing very quickly, and it seems to have entered the ranks of adult monkeys in advance.

Seeing Gu Qingwan teasing the rabbit, as if he deliberately didn't ask him about going to his father's study, Qin Yu raised his hand and tore off his belt, pursed his thin lips, and stood up.

Gu Qingwan seemed to want to get up to help, Qin Yu raised his hand and said, "Master come by yourself, you just lie down." ”

He took off his clothes by himself and threw his robe on the spring bench next to him, but he heard Gu Qingwan suddenly say: "I understand, Your Highness doesn't need to feel guilty." ”

Qin Yu was stunned, turned around, Gu Qingwan held the rabbit with one hand, gently combed it with the other, with a little smile on his face, his eyes were clear, and said, "Prince Li shouldn't destroy that guarantee, right?" ”

Qin Yu stepped over, sat down in front of the bed again, hugged Gu Qingwan in his arms, stroked her cheek, and said, "I'm sorry......"

Gu Qingwan actually didn't blame Qin Yu, Qin Yu was the second master of Prince Li's mansion, and he had to put the safety of the family first. In the eyes of modern people, this kind of thing is just a matter of course, survival of the fittest, but in the eyes of ancient people, it is a great rebellion, they talk about loyalty.

Although Prince Li was the imperial uncle of Emperor Qin Ying, the first emperor died, and Prince Li was regent, and he was not thin on Prince Yi, and Prince Li usurped the throne of his son, which was not reasonable, and was disloyal and unjust. And Emperor Qin Ying has not done anything angry and resentful now, nor has he done anything to Prince Li's Mansion. And Qin Yu, he has family responsibilities, and it is impossible for him to drag the entire Prince Li Mansion into the water for her.

If he did that, it would not seem that he was infatuated and bold, but would only make her think that he was childish and impulsive.

Gu Qingwan hugged Qin Yu's waist, laughed softly, and said, "Your Highness doesn't have to say sorry to me, am I such an unreasonable woman?" ”

Qin Yu rubbed Gu Qingwan's hair and said, "It's just that the letter of guarantee can be placed here first?" ”

Gu Qingwan raised his eyes to look at Qin Yu, Qin Yu's eyes were slightly dull, like a quiet night, making it impossible to explore his thoughts.

The letter of guarantee is now in her hand, in fact, she can't let the letter of guarantee play any effect, with her current ability to confront the emperor, that's not looking for death.

Since it was useless to keep it in his hands, Gu Qingwan didn't say much, only nodded.

Qin Yu bent his head and held Gu Qingwan's face, and a kiss fell between her foreheads, and the two were warm, but they suddenly heard a rush of panicked footsteps outside, and then Wen Qing broke in with a pale face.

"Second master, the girl is not good! Passing the word to Xuelai, the princess suddenly had a headache and went crazy in Qiushuang Courtyard, hit her head against the wall, and after being stopped, she suddenly vomited blood and fainted! The second master should hurry up and take a look. ”

Qin Yu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he let go of Gu Qing and disappeared into the house with a gust of wind.

Gu Qingwan still didn't digest Wen Qing's words, and when she reacted, she suddenly stood up from the bed.

"Hasn't the princess had a headache these days? How could it be ...... suddenly? No, the head wind doesn't vomit blood. She furrowed her eyebrows, and seeing that Wen Qing was also shocked, she asked again, "Did the princess ever have a sudden attack in the past?" ”

Wen Qing shook her head and said, "The princess has been ill for more than ten years, and there will always be some signs before the attack, and there has never been a sudden unbearable pain." ”

Gu Qingwan's brows frowned when he heard this, and he said, "No, I'll go over and take a look, maybe I can help." ”

After she said that, she also strode out, and Wen Qing hurriedly took a cloak with autumn fragrance and blue edges and chased it out.
