Guan Xingji hadn't taken a few steps before he heard Gu Pan calling him from behind, stopped, frowned and looked back: "Why did he let you come?" ”

Gu Pan said: "What does it matter if he lets me come or not?" ”

Guan Xingji glanced at the back: "I'm afraid he will come too." ”

Gu Pan snorted: "He won't come." ”

Guan Xingji sighed: "If he comes, don't mess with him." ”

Gu Pan was unhappy: "When did you wear a pair of pants with him?" Aren't you on my side? ”

Guan Xingji said: "Since you decided to go back with him, why are you so awkward?" ”

This was to the point, and Gu Pan could only bow his head and remain silent.

The two of them walked in silence, and they couldn't help but think of the conversation on Xiaoliang Mountain not long ago.

At that time, the injuries of the two men had been healed quickly.

Fang Xiao was still in a daze in the room, while Guan Xingji found Gu Pan on the edge of the hot spring.

The begonia flowers planted by Li Rui had withered, and Gu Pan was looking at them in a daze.

Guan Xingji interrupted her meditation, and with the breakup imminent, he felt that something had to be said to her.

"Actually, on the day of your accident, I was not far from the capital. Later, when I heard the news of the disappearance of King Chen and his wife, I went to your palace to find out. He decided to tell her the truth.

Gu Pan was surprised: "It turns out that you didn't bump into us occasionally?" ”

Guan Xingji said: "Of course not! How can it be such a coincidence?! I said that at the time, just to avoid suspicion. If I say, I have followed all the way. Your lord, don't you want to suspect that we have something to hide from him? ”

"Whatever he wants." Gu Pan snorted and asked him again, "What happened later?" ”

Guan Xingji said: "It was the second day of the incident, I went to the palace and found that the entire Chen Wangfu had been blocked. ”

Gu Pan said: "This big thing happened in the palace, there must be chaos in the palace, right?" ”

Guan Xingji nodded and said, "Yes, it's a mess, a lot of rumors." As soon as I entered, I heard private rumors from the servants that the princess and princess had been killed. ”

Gu Pan said: "The emperor was wearing the same clothes as us that day, after the servants saw it. I must have thought that it was us who was killed. "Speaking of which. Her brow furrowed slightly. She remembered that at first, Lu Xuan'er was not wearing green clothes when she picked them up, but later after picking up the emperor, she changed into clothes of the same color as herself. Did she do it on purpose?

Guan Xingji said: "I went to the scene of the murder. No traces were found. The site has been cleared. Because early in the morning, the servants found the body and immediately panicked. said that the prince was killed. So the palace quickly sent people to cordon off the scene, and the entire palace was cordoned off, and after the corpses were transported into the palace, everything was destroyed. When I found this, I wondered. ”

Gu Pan's brows tightened and said: "This emperor is good at acting, he will do what he wants, in order to look more realistic, he blocked the scene, and released the news of our disappearance, but" Speaking of this, she felt that there was a little bit of a connection.

Guan Xingji went down for her and said, "But if it was really you who were killed, why did the palace cover it all up?" Isn't it the right thing to do to catch the murderer? ”

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind: "Yes! How could the emperor respond so quickly? If he didn't know, he should block the capital and find the murderer of King Chen's wife! How much does he really know? Is it really an afterthought? Only this series of responses?

Guan Xingji said: "At that time, I really thought that you were killed, until later"

It turned out that he was investigating in the palace and saw an embroidery girl who locked the doors and windows, and was a little sneaky, so he followed to see. I saw her light incense in the house, and whispered there: "Xiao Lang, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I'm afraid that if I call, I will be killed on the spot, and I won't live until now." Now that the prince and princess are gone, you are also dead in vain, my sister and I are a woman, and there is nothing I can do, I can only give you more incense and burn more paper money, I hope you will look at our past relationship and protect me from being killed. ”

Guan Xingji was suspicious at that time, and immediately restrained the maid and forced her to ask what she saw.

It turned out that on the night of the accident, the manservant who was on an errand in Zhuyuan secretly asked her to go to a private meeting. The two were separated for a while after they fell in love, and when they happened to bump into it, the man screamed and was killed with a single sword. The woman was so frightened that she didn't dare to make a sound, so she escaped. At first, she thought that something had happened to the princess and princess. Later, when I saw the skirt of the corpse, I realized that it was not. Because Gu Pan's new clothes were made by her own hands, and there were lotus leaves embroidered under the green edges, but there was no one on this dead man.

Gu Pan said: "Those two corpses were originally arranged by King Shen, and they were imitated as the emperor and Lu Xuan'er, so that everyone thought that we had killed the emperor." ”

If the emperor is gone, and the queen mother knows that the emperor has come to the palace to see the good looks, then the murder in the courtyard and the mutilated corpse similar to the emperor must undoubtedly be a great crime of rebellion committed by the king.

Guan Xingji nodded: "I didn't know at the time, so I thought this matter was weird." Since the corpse is not yours, where did you go? Who were the two people who died? Why is the news of dead people still blocked? These have become a mystery. ”

He was suspicious at that time, thinking that the body had been introduced into the palace, and thinking of the entangled relationship between the three brothers, so he simply went to the palace to find out. ”

Gu Pan was surprised when he heard this: "You still entered the palace?" ”

Guan Xingji nodded again, and when he entered the palace, he knew that there were more rumors in the palace. Not only did the emperor not go to court, but he also locked himself in his house, not wanting to see anyone.

Gu Pan said: "He wanted King Shen to believe that he was dead, so he deliberately did not show his face and put down a suspicious array so that King Shen could take the bait." ”

Guan Xingji's face gradually became serious, and he told a secret.

He entered the inner hall that day and heard the emperor's conversation with his confidants, and he learned what happened. It turned out that before King Shen made his move, the emperor had already received the news.

Although Gu Pan already faintly felt that something was wrong, when he heard this, he was still taken aback: "He knows? So did he make the bag drop? ”

Guan Xingji nodded and said, "That's it!" He knew that King Shen was going to make a move, so he had precautions in advance, so King Shen would catch you wrong. ”

Gu Pan's face turned a little pale, and he muttered: "It's him, he was actually ready to let us die instead" It turned out that the shirt that day, Fang Xiao's drunkenness that day, all of this was in the emperor's plan. (To be continued.) )
