After eating, Lin Chuyue stayed at home for a while, and Tongfu came to spread the word that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered her to return to the East Palace immediately after reminiscing about the old days. There was no way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, Lin Chuyue had to return to the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, and continued to be His Royal Highness's little maid. It's okay this way, at least I still have a salary to support myself and my mother. And by the way, I can always pay attention to my father's state in prison, and maybe I can go into prison to meet my father.

Lin Chuyue thought so, and then followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince every day, serving Zhang Anze's food, clothing, housing and transportation every day. Sometimes Zhang Anze asked her to follow him to investigate some cases, and by the way, he brought tea and water to him.

On this day, Gu Xiaojiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came to the prince's east palace to report to him some incidents related to the deduction of disaster relief food. As soon as Gu Shangshu came to the door, he bumped into Lin Chuyue, who was standing next to the prince and studying ink for the prince. I felt very distressed for Lin Chuyue in my heart, this was originally my bride, but now she was snatched by this prince to be the prince's handmaiden! If Lin Chuyue followed her, she would definitely not let her do these things that her subordinates did. Thinking of this, Gu Xiaojiang was very angry, this Zhang Anze was too bullying. Thinking about it, he walked forward and quietly looked at the Lin Chuyue who was silently grinding ink in front of him.

After Lin Chuyue unhurriedly polished the ink, she raised her head, twisted her slightly sore neck, and hammered her shoulder, which had been stiffening, with her hand. After she finished this series of actions, she saw the glorious Gu Lord Gu Xiaojiang in front of her.

"Lord Gu, why are you here? I don't know why you are here today? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is taking a lunch break now, do you want me to go and tell His Royal Highness the Prince?" Lin Chuyue was very surprised, isn't this the Shangshu Gu Xiaojiang Gu of the Criminal Department who almost married him in the first place? Last time, I learned about my father's situation in Lord Gu's letter, and learned about the disaster relief food and salary case. I wonder if he came here today to report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the latest developments related to this case? Lin Chuyue was surprised and delighted by Lord Gu's arrival.

"It's okay, I'll wait here for the afternoon rest of the Prince's Palace, and then discuss some related matters with him. After speaking, Gu Xiaojiang sat on the guest chair, and his eyes looked in the direction of Lin Chuyue from time to time.

Lin Chuyue went down to pour tea for Gu Xiaojiang, leaned over, her hair gently swept over Gu Xiaojiang's face, and the sharp fragrance stayed in Gu Xiaojiang's nose for a long time. As soon as she got the kettle and was about to pour tea into the washed empty cup in front of Master Gu, she didn't stand firm, so she was caught by Lord Gu sitting in front of her. Gu Xiaojiang pulled Lin Chuyue's wrist and refused to let go for a long time. Holding Lin Chuyue's hand tighter and tighter, it was as if as soon as he let go, Lin Chuyue in front of him would disappear again.

Lin Chuyue felt a little painful when she was pulled by him, so she said, "Thank you, Master Gu, I am standing firm now, you can let me go." ”

When Gu Xiaojiang heard Lin Chuyue's voice, he slowly took back the hand that was holding Lin Chuyue, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was now just Lord Gu of the Criminal Department for this Lin Chuyue, and he was not someone else. My heart was full of indescribable taste, looking at the person I loved in front of me, but I could only retract my hands that were holding her.

At this moment, after the nap time, Zhang Anze just got up and saw the scene in front of him. An inexplicable flame inevitably rose in his heart, and he walked impatiently towards Lin Chuyue, who had just been pulled by Gu Xiaojiang for a long time.

"Is the ink grinding ready, why are you so idle here to complain to our Lord Gu?" Zhang Anze said impatiently in a cold tone, his eyes did not forget to glance at Gu Xiaojiang who was sitting on the chair.

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was taking a lunch break, so it was really inappropriate for the lower officials to come to visit rashly. When Gu Xiaojiang saw Zhang Anze, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands and saluted Zhang Anze slightly.

"Since Lord Gu is self-aware, and he knows that this is very inappropriate, then it is the best, I am afraid that Lord Gu knows that it is inappropriate, and he still commits it. Zhang Anze slammed back.

"The lower officials are really frightened, and they really don't mean to do it knowingly. I came here today to report on the case of the deduction of food and wages for disaster relief that the lower officials were in charge of investigating a few months ago, and there has been a new development in this case. Gu Xiaojiang lowered his head and said, and as he spoke, he took out a note that had been signed and signed.

The note said that Lin Ruhai had admitted that this case was what he had done. Although this note has long been true, I suddenly found that the note actually said that Lin Ruhai deducted the food and salary by himself, and then moved it to the cellar at home and hid it privately. If you want to know if what Lin Ruhai said is true, you only need to check the cellar of Lin Mansion to know.

"But when Xia Guan went to help Mrs. Lin repair the roof a few days ago, he didn't find any so-called cellars in the Lin Mansion. This matter is very suspicious, since Lin Ruhai did not commit those major crimes of killing his head, why should he be in a hurry to admit it? This is very likely that someone is threatening this Lin Ruhai with something, and then forcing Lin Ruhai to make this false confession. And the one who threatens this Lin Ruhai behind this is their top boss in charge of the granary, and he actually threatens Lin Chuyue's innocence of Miss Lin, which is simply hateful. But the most important thing is that Lin Ruhai, who was about to be acquitted, suddenly fell ill with the plague, and some people above did not let him out, saying that the plague was very contagious, and releasing Lin Ruhai rashly would only cause more innocent people to die because of it. Gu Xiaojiang said slowly.

Zhang Anze was not surprised by this, after all, he knew about it a few months ago. If it weren't for the fact that someone threatened Lin Chuyue's innocence, Lin Ruhai would not have drawn this trumped-up charge. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go to such trouble to investigate this matter.

"I already knew about this, do you have anything else to report back?" Zhang Anze felt nothing surprised when he heard the news that he had known for a long time. Besides, didn't he Gu Shangshu already mention it in the previous letter? Why did he come to my East Palace to report to me again? Could it be that this "drunkard doesn't mean to drink", just to come and pull the little hand of my maid Lin Chuyue?

"The lower official knows so much for the time being, so the lower official will retire first. In the future, there was a new development in the case, and the lower officials came to report. Gu Xiaojiang said to Zhang Anze, and had to hurriedly say goodbye to Zhang Anze.

When Gu Xiaojiang completely walked out of the door, Zhang Anze called Tongfu to him, handed Tongfu a token and a letter written by him personally, and asked Tongfu to hurry to the Metropolitan Procuratorate where Lin Ruhai was imprisoned, and asked Tongfu to bring some decoction to treat the plague.
