Until Gu Qingwan fell asleep, Zheng Rui sat on the edge of the bed and stared at her for a while, pressing the brocade quilt for Gu Qingwan, Zheng Rui stood up, and his still somewhat soft face suddenly became cold.

The window was ajar, and the full moon, round as a jade plate, hung in the sky, sprinkling the moonlight all over the ground. The breeze passed through the trees outside the side hall, and the rustle of the trees swaying in the silence came intermittently.

Zheng Rui stood by the window for a long time, feeling that the night breeze was a little cool, and just turned around and walked a few steps towards Gu Qingwan's side, he paused.

"How's it going?" He glanced at Gu Qingwan and whispered.

There was already a man dressed in black in the room, although the black scarf covered his face, if Gu Qingwan was awake at this moment, he would definitely be able to see that this person was Du Jing who had been following Zheng Rui's side.

At first glance, Du Jing would only think that he was ordinary, but if you look closely, you will feel that his eyes are very special, like an ancient well that is not alarmed, and there is no ripple at any time.

"The carriages of the Governing Mansion, the Plains Marquis Mansion, the Ke Wang's Mansion and the mansion that has close contacts with King Ke have all been checked, and there is nothing abnormal." Du Jing raised his eyes and glanced at Zheng Rui, and said firmly, "There is no room in the palace, and my subordinates think that this person has already been wiped out." ”

The person Du Jing said in his mouth is naturally Haoyue. Zheng Rui expected this result, and there was no disappointment on his face, but his face sank a little: "Third brother, is there any news today?" ”

"None." Du Jing only responded with one word.

No news is good news, Zheng Rui smiled in his heart. This time, King Jing was sent to Jiangnan to supervise Yan Zheng, King Huai and Queen Chen did nothing, Queen Chen and Chen Guogong naturally did not trust King Jing, but whether King Huai had any careful thoughts, we have to observe in the future.

The Song family has been operating in Jiangnan for generations, and if others want to make small moves in Jiangnan, even if the Song family can't come forward openly, they can help each other in secret. For King Jing, this Jiangnan inspection of the salt administration is not an opportunity.

The head of the Song family in Jiangling retired the year before last, and now the Song family is in charge of the fourth master of the long house, and Song Huaiyi, the younger brother of the same mother as Concubine De. It is impossible for Jing Wangye and Zheng Rui to go to Jiangnan, and it is impossible for Song Huaiyi to go north in order to avoid suspicion. In the past few years, the person who has spoken between the Jingwang Mansion and the Song family in Jiangling is a cousin of the Song family's side branch.

This time when he went down to the south of the Yangtze River, Prince Jing must have secretly gone to Jiangling, and after so many years of forbearance, it was time to harvest.

"I know it." Zheng Rui whispered, Du Ju bowed slightly behind him, and he was out of the house in the blink of an eye.

Carrying the moonlight Zheng Rui's face into a gloom, he stood in the middle of the room for a long time, and he didn't know what to remember, and a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Gu Qingwan woke up on the second day, but it was already three poles in the sun. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zheng Rui half-leaning on the edge of the bed, the index finger of his right hand wrapped around her hair spread on the pillow, his eyes only staring out the window, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

There was a trace of movement on the bed, Zheng Rui's eyes rolled, and he looked at her and laughed: "But when I woke up, I saw that lunch was about to be served, and I was thinking about whether to wake you up." ”

Gu Qingwan saw that although Zheng Rui was in good spirits, there was inevitably a trace of fatigue on his face, and after a little thought, she knew that he might have guarded himself all night. Now seeing that he still has a gentle face, he is inevitably a little moved in his heart, but he just opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say to Zheng Rui.

If you say thank you or something, they already have the name of husband and wife, which is too much to see.

Zheng Rui didn't mind Gu Qingwan not saying a word, and seeing that she didn't object, he looked outside through the screen and said, "Come in." ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and a column of palace maids rushed in, with the palace maids in the front row holding toiletries in their hands, and the back rows carrying food boxes of different sizes.

After Gu Qingwan washed up and had lunch, and was poured a bowl of soup medicine by Zheng Rui, a palace maid was waiting outside, saying that Queen Chen was invited.

Gu Qingwan's eyes narrowed, and she sorted out yesterday's events, and a chill appeared on her face. When Zheng Rui saw it, he took her hand, patted the back of her hand a few times, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, the horse has already explained this matter last night." Empress Chen means that when you wake up, you will be able to go back to what happened at that time. ”

Gu Qingwan slept all night, yesterday's restless emotions had long been gone, and what she was thinking about at the moment was not just how to break the situation of Concubine Xian and protect herself. She has never been a boring character, the virtuous concubine has bullied herself, if she doesn't return the color, others are afraid that she is a soft persimmon.

"Look at it, I'm going to give the queen a 'big gift' later." Gu Qingwan bent the corners of her mouth, took Zheng Rui's hand and walked out.

Zheng Rui only looked at Gu Qingwan's injured arm hanging by his side, so he smiled and said nothing, only Gu Qingwan pulled him out of the side hall, and never asked her what the "big gift" was.

Out of the side hall, Gu Qingwan let go of Zheng Rui's hand, took a step back, and walked in parallel with him. Zheng Rui raised his head, his eyes turned down, and he took the initiative to hold Gu Qingwan's hand. Gu Qingwan shook it twice, looked up and saw Zheng Rui with a narrow smile on his lips, so she simply followed him.

Entering the Yongyan Palace, the main hall was already full of people, and when they saw Zheng Rui and Gu Qingwan coming in hand in hand, everyone's faces were a little intriguing.

It was Empress Chen who was in the middle, and Princess Huihe sat next to Empress Chen, her face full of anger. Ke Yunyan was designed by someone and was injured again, and Princess Huihe was in a bad mood, which is also a matter of course.

There are also a lot of concubines in the palace, among which there are naturally concubines and concubines, including concubines and concubines. Seeing Princess Chengjun made Gu Qingwan feel faintly confident in her heart, I am afraid that the ladies who happened to bump into this incident yesterday were all invited over.

The room was full of women, so the chamberlain standing in the corner was particularly eye-catching.

Gu Qingwan's eyes inadvertently glanced at the waiter, and her heart was stunned. If she remembers correctly, this chamberlain should have served by Emperor Yufeng's side, and it seems that he has won the trust of Emperor Yufeng. He is here now, presumably Emperor Yufeng sent him over.

Before he could salute, he heard Queen Chen say indifferently: "You are injured, you don't need to be polite, Ah Rui, quickly help Qingwan sit down." ”

Empress Chen's behavior showed that she attached great importance to Gu Qingwan. She opened her mouth, and the other concubines naturally didn't dare to hold it up, and echoed Queen Chen's words one after another.

"You are also witnessing yesterday's events, and now you are indispensable to let you observe. After saying that, she nodded at Liu Yi, and Liu Yi raised her voice, asked Ke Yunyan to come in, and pulled another screen, leaving Cui Di outside the screen to wait for trial.

Ke Yunyan was carried in by someone on a rattan chair, and his face was very pale. Ke Yunyan's injuries all over his body were Gu Qingwan's hands, whether he was seriously injured or not, Gu Qingwan also had a bottom in his heart. Although the head is bleeding and looks scary, it is all to avoid the vital point, and even the knife under the shoulder armor is not deep, at most it is just to leave some blood.

But Ke Yunyan now looks like he is seriously injured, which makes Gu Qingwan, who knows the roots, feel a little intriguing.

Gu Qingwan looked at Ke Yunyan for a while, and then felt that her hand was gently pulled, and when she turned around, she saw Zheng Rui smirking at her, but she didn't say a word.

"Tell me, what happened yesterday?" Empress Chen asked with a serious face.

Ke Yunyan coughed lightly a few times, and then he told the whole story of yesterday. Although the theme is the same as Gu Qingwan, it is also very simple.

only said that he drank too much wine yesterday, so he went out of the Lama Garden and wanted to sober up along the lake, but the wine came up, and he didn't know that he bumped into the garden, and saw that there was an attic, so he wanted to lie down on the attic to slow down. didn't expect that after he slept to death, someone wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.

He woke up after being stabbed by the palace maid, but he was injured on his body, and his head was very dizzy, so he couldn't escape for a while, and was hit many times by the palace maid with a chair.

Just when the palace maid wanted him to die, she didn't expect Princess Rui to break in. When the palace maid saw that her actions were exposed, she wanted to kill Princess Rui, but she didn't expect Princess Rui to be injured and escape, and she happened to meet Princess Chengjun, so she was saved.

After saying this, Ke Yunyan solemnly thanked Gu Qingwan, and said that after the injury was healed, he would take Hui and Princess Rui to the Rui Wang's Mansion in person to thank him for his life.

Speaking of which, although Gu Qingwan was trying to protect herself, she did save Ke Yunyan, so Gu Qingwan accepted his gratitude calmly.

Empress Chen also comforted Ke Yunyan a few words, and Princess Huihe also had red eyes in front of everyone. Gu Qingwan looked at her, and it didn't look like she was acting for others, and for a while she thought that she was really a little easy with Ke Yunyan.

"Qingwan ······" Empress Chen only called Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan nodded, and the expression on her face became a little serious: "This matter has to start from Qinghe Garden." Cui Di stayed by my side to serve during the palace banquet, and when I ate a few more glasses of wine, I wanted to go outside to dissipate the wine, but I was afraid that Niang Niang would worry, so I asked Cui Di to inform Huang Mama. ”

"It's only today that I learned that Cui Di didn't report to Mama Huang at all, so it can be seen that she had premeditated at that time." Gu Qingwan glanced at Princess Chengjun and Yu, and said, "Before leaving, I also mentioned it to Princess Chengjun and this lady, and I don't know if the two of you have any impressions?" ”

Yu's eyes rolled, and when he saw that Princess Chengjun responded, he also echoed a sentence.

"Cui Ti led me along the lake for a while, and then said that she was in a hurry. I saw that the moonlight was just right, so I said that I would sit by the lake for a while, and let her come back to Heqing Garden later. Gu Qingwan listened to the "woo" sound coming from behind the screen, and her expression was cold, "But I didn't expect that she wanted to lead me down to the Yellow Spring." ”
