Guo Chengsi held the blue and white porcelain bowl of entwined lotus in one hand and a silver spoon in the other, carefully stirring the white and thick blue stem porridge in the bowl and exuding bursts of rice fragrance. When it wasn't so hot, he carefully scooped it to Zhong Ziyuan's lips.

Zhong Ziyuan leaned on the collapse, and secretly swore in her heart that her previous words were really unintentional, and she definitely didn't mean to be coquettish and stupid. But looking at Guo Chengsi's extremely skillful movements and firm eyes, she knew that the opposition was invalid, so she had to open her mouth to accept it with a red face.

This porridge is really boiled very well, it melts in the mouth, and it has a faint ginger flavor, which is very nourishing to the stomach. This spoonful of porridge aroused the hunger in her stomach, so she didn't care about being reserved, and took it one bite at a time. Coupled with the crispy kohlrabi and the delicious hot and sour lotus root, the bowl of green stem porridge was quickly eaten.

Seeing that she was so obedient, Guo Chengsi had a faint smile in his eyes and asked, "Do you still want it?" ”

She nodded and said simply, "I want to." ”

Because she was afraid of being cold and afraid of being mushy, Qingdai put the porridge in a bowl of entwined lotus and blue and white sea, and put it in an iron pot on the stove with hot water to warm it, which was naturally everything. After drinking another bowl of heat, Zhong Ziyuan's forehead faintly sweated, and his originally cold-soaked body also warmed up a lot.

Guo Chengsi saw that her cheeks were faintly flushed, obviously much better looking, so he said to Qing Dai with satisfaction: "Okay, put away the things and retreat!" ”

"Yes." Qing Dai happily packed up her things and obediently retreated. Seeing this, Zhong Ziyuan muttered dissatisfiedly: "Dead girl." I have forgotten who my master is. ”

Guo Chengsi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan said casually: "I mean, I didn't expect that the dignified prince would be no worse than the maid in my house when he served people." The words did not fall. Zhong Ziyuan was so annoyed that she almost wanted to bite off her tongue.

"If you get cheap and sell well, do you think everyone can afford me to serve?" Guo Chengsi didn't care, he stretched out his hand and pressed her forehead, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Fortunately, there is no fever." ”

Zhong Ziyuan felt that his palm was slightly cold, and remembered that he was still wearing heavy wet clothes, steaming by the heat in the room. I'm afraid that it will get moisture in my body. She was in a hurry for a while, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she reached out and wanted to lift the quilt.

Guo Chengsi hurriedly held her arm. said: "What do you want to say, why move around, be careful and cold." ”

"It's so delicate." Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help laughing and said, "In the past, I followed my father all over the mountain. I didn't see such a small wind chill. But you'll have to change out of your clothes quickly. If you accumulate moisture, it's not good in your body. ”

In the end, my stomach was full, and although my hands and feet were still a little weak, the dizziness was gone. She opened the cabinet and found a set of royal blue embroidered brocade robes and moon-white middle clothes, handed them to him, and said with a smile: "Go behind the screen and change into it!" This is a new dress I sewed for my father. Originally, I wanted you to take it into prison and give it to him, but I will let you wear it today. ”

Guo Chengsi took the clothes, stared at Zhong Ziyuan with a strange face, and said with a smile: "You seem to care about me very much?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan's face flushed. Shoved him and said angrily, "Only you care about me." Won't I be allowed to care about you? Between friends, there is still an exchange of courtesies! Hurry up and change your clothes, where is there so much to say. ”

Guo Chengsi smiled, strode to the screen and changed his clothes. Zhong Ziyuan patted his red cheeks, threw a few plum blossom cakes into the begonia-shaped copper tripod incense burner in front of him, and a thin and clear plum blossom fragrance floated out, faintly scattered in the air, this bell fragrance made people feel refreshed.

Guo Chengsi moved quickly, and after a while, he changed into clean clothes and walked out. He has long hands and long feet, Zhong Jinchuan's clothes naturally don't fit, and he simply doesn't tie them and drapes them on his body like this. looks less sharp and sharp, and more casual and lazy at home.

Zhong Ziyuan laughed and said, "Dressed like this, I really wronged you." She raised her voice and called Qingdai and asked her to take off Guo Chenghe's wet clothes and iron them.

"Wait." Guo Chengsi suddenly spoke, he strode forward, turned out a jade comb in the pile of clothes, and then waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

After Qing Dai went down, he frowned and said: "There are too few people you are waiting here, Cardamom has to take care of the business in front of you during the day, and Qing Dai is here all over the yard, and it is not a matter to grasp the rough work." No wonder yesterday I told them to keep an eye on you, but you still fell ill. ”

Zhong Ziyuan moved to the dressing table and sat down, untied the slightly messy bun on his head, took a wooden comb and combed it slowly, and said, "Didn't you say that you want to help me get my former family back!" It would be nice to wait for them to come back. ”

"It's so fast, you'll have to give me some time." Guo Chengsi said with a smile, he strode forward and took the wooden comb in Zhong Ziyuan's hand and put it on the dressing table, and then used the jade comb to slowly comb her head full of green silk. Zhong Ziyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and threw away his hand and followed him.

His warm, thick palms seemed to be powerful, but their movements were extremely flexible and light, and they didn't hurt her scalp at all. Zhong Ziyuan quietly stared at his blurred figure in the bronze mirror, and his heart was full of thoughts. She wrapped her index finger around a strand of hair on her chest, and suddenly said in a low and soft voice: "Chenghei, why are you so good to me?" ”

Guo Chenghe's hands were stunned, he could hardly believe his ears, and he was stunned before he muttered, "What do you call me?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan paused stubbornly, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Can't you call it the heir?" Or I will call you Xiao Guozi like Fei, or do you still like people to call you Lord Guo, Guo Shizi? ”

"No." He suddenly stepped over her body, and the smile from the bottom of his heart couldn't be hidden, he held her shoulder, and announced domineeringly and firmly: "Don't call any more Lord Guo, Guo Shizi, and not some hellish little Guozi." You call me heir, and I like to hear it. ”

Although Zhong Ziyuan had blushed with shame, she did not flinch at all. Just looked at him and said softly: "Chenghei, you scratched me." ”

Guo Chengsi hurriedly let go of his hand, and the joy in his heart that almost overflowed made him at a loss for a while. only rubbed his hands and looked at her and smirked, and all the shrewdness and ability in the past were thrown out of the clouds at this moment.

"Fool." Zhong Ziyuan said shyly and timidly. She reached out and took his hand, looked at him quietly, and said with a light smile: "Thank you for treating me so well all the time." ”

Guo Chengsi immediately held her with his backhand, his eyes were as affectionate as the sea, and his soft tone was like dipped in honey: "Ziyuan, at that time, you were anxious to kill for me. I knew you treated me just as well. Since my life was saved by you, this life can only belong to you. ”

Zhong Ziyuan was a little impressed, and she lowered her eyes. He said in a low voice: "That, that doesn't count." It was chaotic, and I killed him to save my own life. ”

Guo Chengsi smiled and said, "Don't think I don't know. Although you make the poison. Ecstasy-drug is unique in the world, but his temperament is soft and kind, and he can't see anyone suffer a little. If you weren't anxious that I would be hurt that day, you would never have used poison on that bandit, but would have chosen to smell and pour the drug. So you don't have to feel guilty all the time, you just have to think that it's all for me. ”

"So you know everything." Zhong Ziyuan muttered. She only felt that one of her hearts was pounding uncontrollably, beating more and more rapidly. Almost jumped out of his chest.

What could be more exciting? No need for a word, a look. to understand what you're thinking. She felt like Tang Sanzang who had fallen into the Pansi Cave, tightly entangled by the love threads, so tightly wound, she couldn't break free at all, and of course she didn't want to break free.

Guo Chengsi gently hugged her into his arms and said softly: "I thought I would have to wait endlessly, but I didn't expect you and me to have the same thoughts, so it's so good." ”

"Don't move your hands and feet, talk well." Zhong Ziyuan's face flushed, and she broke free from his embrace and sat back. Guo Chengsi smiled contentedly, and he picked up the jade comb again and continued to help her comb her long hair.

Zhong Ziyuan grabbed the wooden comb of the dressing table and played with it in his hand, and after twisting it for a long time, he said with a red face and a mosquito: "I know that you are not married yet, and you have no concubine, then, then, do you have a marriage contract?" ”

She suddenly felt the jade comb sliding on her head paused, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Guo Chengsi's casual voice came from behind him: "It's okay, here's a summary." He put down the jade comb, gently untied the tangled long hair with his fingers, and then said softly in a low voice: "No, I don't have a marriage contract." ”

Zhong Ziyuan suddenly relaxed, she stretched out her fingers and unconsciously swiped over the wooden comb. finally couldn't hold back, and asked curiously: "The son of another family, the son of the world, at this age, he has either made a marriage contract, or he has already married and had children." Zhu Feina was delayed because the old Shu king had always wanted to remove him from the position of prince. But you are a veritable prince of Zhenguo, why has this lifelong event been delayed? ”

Guo Chengsi said lightly: "I entered the military camp with my father at the age of ten to polish, and in the next few years, I either stayed in the palace to study, or rode horses and archery in the military camp. In addition, my sister has high expectations for me. So the marriage was delayed. ”

Zhong Ziyuan's heart tightened, and said: "The queen has such deep expectations for you, then we"

"It's my business, you don't have to worry about it." Before she could finish speaking, Guo Chengsi interrupted her domineeringly.

He skillfully pulled up her long hair, pulled it, twisted it, and coiled it, and a simple and smooth Ruyi bun was already coiled. He spread his big hand to her and said, "Bring it." ”

Zhong Ziyuan pursed his lips and smiled, took out the peach wood aster hairpin from his sleeve, handed it to him, and put it on his bun with a smile. Zhong Ziyuan took a picture of the rhombic bronze mirror, raised his hand to caress the wooden hairpin, and said with a smile: "I remember the last time I went to see Uncle Fu, he was carving with a wooden block, could it be that you learned this craft from him?" ”

"Not bad." Guo Chengsi held her shoulder, looked at the fresh and pretty face through the bronze mirror, and said with satisfaction: "For more than a month, I have been worrying about your heart every day, and I want to carve a peach wood hairpin for you to wear every day, hoping that you can use this peach wood to avoid evil." It's just that I didn't expect that the hairpin was just carved and you woke up."

Outside the house, it was drizzling like silk and the wind was cold. The house is dark and fragrant, and the warmth is warm. The two of them who have made their hearts clear are peaceful and happy in their hearts.

"Miss!" There was a soft cry from Qingdai at the door, and she opened the curtain and walked in with two teas, two snacks and two candied fruits. She didn't know that she had interrupted the beauty inside, and while putting the tea and snacks on the table, she said crisply: "Forgive me, the slave was so busy that she didn't even remember to pour the tea."

Guo Chengsi had to reluctantly let go of his hand and slowly paced to the table and sat down. Zhong Ziyuan smiled secretly, stood up as well, moved to the table and sat down.

The tea is his favorite Shifeng Longjing, and the dim sum is walnut crisp and honey peanuts. Candied fruit is a cherry, a melon. Guo Chengsi picked up the teacup and drank it slowly, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and said to Qing Dai, who was standing beside Zhong Ziyuan, "Don't you have to help me iron my clothes?" ”

Qing Dai bent her knees and blessed, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the slave thought that the young lady was unwell and needed someone to take care of her, so she went to the front yard and called Cardamom back." At this time, she was ironing the clothes of the prince, and she couldn't delay it. ”

Guo Chengsi coughed, so he had to give up. Zhong Ziyuan chuckled, took a sip of the teacup, and said, "As soon as Zhang Shilang dies like this, will Lan'er's case be closed?" ”

Guo Chengsi grabbed a handful of honey peanuts, threw them into his mouth one by one, and sighed when he heard this: "The main culprit is dead, what if the case is not closed." Thanks to me and Fei for putting so much effort and laying so many dark lines, the purpose is to expose his sanctimonious appearance, but he died so soon, it was really cheap for him. ”

Zhong Ziyuan picked up a cherry candied fruit and chewed it slowly in his mouth, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Do you really believe that this case is an unjust soul asking for your life?" ”

"No, I don't believe it." Guo Chengsi said categorically: "If there is really a wronged soul, when he killed the first girl, he should come to claim his life." We won't wait until we're about to get all his old bottoms out before we come to ask for his cheap life. ”

When Zhong Ziyuan heard this, he immediately said with great interest: "So, this is another big case? I'll do an autopsy, can I help you? ”

Guo Chengsi didn't think about it, and flatly refused: "Don't think about it, the autopsy is a fake thing." Moreover, the dignified members of the court were killed at home, and this case is not small. I guess even I'm not qualified to continue the investigation. I have spent a day and a night sorting out all the files, and Ming'er will send them to the palace for the emperor to decide in person. Perhaps, then it won't be my business. ”

In this case, he hid a lot of inside information from Zhong Ziyuan. After seeing Zhong Ziyuan away last night, he returned to Zhang's Mansion to search in detail. As a result, not only did they find a dark dungeon in the abandoned mansion, but they also found a more hidden dark room. The dark room was full of ledgers, and the contents were actually the accounts with the mysterious Mu Lao and various merchants.

Immediately, he reported the matter to the emperor in the palace overnight. The emperor immediately issued an edict and asked him to seal all the files and account books and send them to the palace. He knew that the case had nothing to do with him from now on. (To be continued......)
