After Gu Qingwan explained her intentions, Du Jing was silent for a long time, and her words seemed to be a little difficult: "Why did the princess want to investigate this matter?" ”

Seeing that Gu Qingwan didn't speak, Du Jing glanced at Zheng Rui, who was sitting beside her and looked a little absent-minded, and continued: "The princess also knows that the forest behind Jingguo Temple has been uninhabited for many years, and after it was said that there were wild beasts on the mountain a few years ago, the hunters at the foot of the mountain moved away. ”

"The forest is very dangerous, I heard that there is still miasma in it, and the princess does not explain the reason, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time in vain."

The reason is not that it can't be said, Gu Qingwan hesitated for a while, and then told the story of the time when she heard a voice in the forest in Jingguo Temple, and mentioned what happened to An Qiao.

Du Jing still had a wooden face, and he didn't know the difference in his reaction before and after.

"Before the wedding, I accompanied Mrs. Gu to Jingguo Temple, and I stopped at the foot of the mountain for a while when I met a collapse on the way. The horse carrying me suddenly went berserk, and if it weren't for the loyalty of my coachman, I probably wouldn't have ended well. You were there that day, too, and the coachman didn't find any wreckage in the carriage that had fallen off the cliff, and it was strange at every turn. ”

Gu Qingwan was relieved to see that Du Jing finally had a hint of reaction.

Although Du Jing is Zheng Rui's attendant, after all, he is also a person from King Jing's Mansion, although he knows that if Zheng Rui speaks, Du Jing will definitely respond, but there is a world of difference between Ying and Dedication. She also knew that Empress Chen suspected that this matter was the action of Concubine Xian, and linked the incident in Jingguo Temple with the horse falling incident, which was Prince Jing. will pay attention to a few points.

At the very least, I should be able to give myself a clear explanation.

"At that time, it was my maid Hongjin who heard the voice, and her five senses were more sensitive than ordinary people, although she didn't hear what was said. But it's really the human voice. Gu Qingwan thought for a while, and said, "I won't embarrass you too much." All you have to do is dig out of the temple and search the area. ”

It's been a year, and I don't know if I can find some clues.

"At that time, the Xie family also had suspicions, presumably the Xie family also investigated in private, and they could also start with the Xie family first." Gu Qingwan added.

Du Jing looked stunned, looked up and shook his head, and then retreated

Gu Qingwan had a thought on her mind. The uneasy heart along the way finally fell, and when he turned his head and saw Zheng Rui looking at him intently, he smiled and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zheng Rui's expression was closed, his head was tilted, and he didn't look at Gu Qingwan: "You send Dongzhu and Nanyu away." I don't like them. I haven't slept for a while at noon today, they are playing in the yard, and I can't sleep because of the noise. I only asked the two of them not to quarrel, and she kept crying and crying, so that I had to go to the couch in the study. ”

Gu Qingwan didn't want to come out of the eyeliner that was ambushed beside her, but these two maids were the people of Princess Huihe, so she couldn't move at this time. Prince Jing was not born to Queen Chen, no matter how motherly and filial piety he shows now, there must be a gap between the two.

Empress Chen only has one daughter, Princess Huihe. At such a critical juncture, if she has a dislike with Princess Huihe, then it will not be good for Queen Chen.

Queen Chen is not only her nominal mother-in-law, but also the queen of the world, no matter what she says, she oppresses Gu Qingwan.

The side hall was never a place to speak, and Gu Qingwan took Zheng Rui back to Wanjuan Hall. It wasn't until he entered the back room and sent away the maids in the house that he persuaded: "You also know that those two maids were given by Princess Huihe, and Princess Huihe's temperament...... Geng Zhi, if you give them away or sell them, it's not very good. If Princess Huihe knew the truth, there would inevitably be a lot of disputes. ”

Zheng Rui glanced at Gu Qingwan, and then said angrily: "In the inner courtyard of King Jing's Mansion, the imperial sister-in-law is the same. ”

"Okay, who will say that you are stupid in the future, I really want to be in a hurry with whom!" When Gu Qingwan heard this, she suddenly became angry, "You are suspecting that I am using Princess Huihe as an excuse to shirk it!" ”

Zheng Rui looked at Gu Qingwan's face and didn't dare to speak.

Gu Qingwan was bored for a while before she sighed and said, "Forget it, what do I have to do with you, let yourself be angry." ”

"Anyone in this house can move, Dongzhu, Nanyu, Tian Mama, and Zhang Mama are the people on the bright side, and the time is not right, not only me, but you can't move them." Gu Qingwan saw that Zheng Rui looked like she didn't understand, and said seriously, "You don't understand it if you talk too much, but you listen to these words, and you must never say it in front of others." ”

Although Zheng Rui is not mentally sufficient, he will not say a word about what he shouldn't say, which is why Gu Qingwan is very relieved in front of Zheng Rui.

"Let's be careful now, not only for you and me, but also for Prince Jing." Gu Qingwan looked at Zheng Rui with a little blank eyes, and seemed to look in other directions over Zheng Rui, and muttered in her mouth, "After getting on this boat, there is no turning back, it is said that the king will be defeated, but it is really done, and I am afraid that this day will not be very easy." ”

The incomprehensible Prince Jing and Princess Jing, the hot-tempered and reckless Princess Huihe, and Queen Chen, who is separated from her by a few floors. Which of these people do you want to work with?

The future is around her neck, and the road ahead is difficult, and Gu Qingwan feels a little breathless every time she thinks of the gloomy prospect.

Just as he was out of his mind, he saw Zheng Rui bully coming forward, and he hugged him unexpectedly: "Qingwan, don't worry, I will protect you." ”

Gu Qingwan's body stiffened, and when she heard Zheng Rui's vague words, she realized that she had muttered all the words in her heart. Seeing Zheng Rui patting her back carefully, Gu Qingwan suddenly felt funny: "I've been suppressed for a long time before I can say so many words, you just don't make trouble for me." ”

Zheng Rui patted Gu Qingwan's hand on the back and paused, but he didn't reply.

Gu Qingwan calmed down and pushed Zheng Rui away, with a fierce expression on her face: "I told you so much, do you understand, Dongzhu and Nanyu still have to stay in our yard." Although I don't mind being a jealous woman to drive them away, it depends on the master to beat the dog, and Princess Huihe is so fierce, my arrogance is just a drizzle in front of her. ”

Seeing the loss on Zheng Rui's face, Gu Qingwan couldn't help but slow down her tone: "If you don't like the two of them, I will let Baotian and Jin Hai guard against them in the future." As for letting the two of them go now, it's impossible! ”

Zheng Rui just said "oh", and there was no other reaction, Gu Qingwan was not at ease and explained several times in a row. When I was saying it for the third time, I heard a crisp sound of "bang" outside, like the sound of some porcelain breaking.

Gu Qingwan's expression froze, and she asked in a cold voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Bao Tian and Jin Hai had already been sent back to the house by her to rest, and Gui Ye was guarding outside.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Qingwan's words fell, Gui Ye lifted the curtain, and before she could reply, a white thing came in first, and almost instantly jumped up to Zheng Rui, meowing at him.

"The prince, the princess, the slave and maid were doing needlework outside, and the cat suddenly came in through the window and smashed the green jade entwined lotus pattern bottle on the table." Gui Ye's expression was a little pale, and it seemed that he was also frightened by the cat, "The slave maid wanted to let it out, but the snow ball had already run in." ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward to catch the cat, but Xuetuan refused to let outsiders touch it, and after dodging it, he bared his teeth at Gui Ye.

Gu Qingwan looked at the cat with a little headache, and glanced at Zheng Rui again, but unfortunately Zheng Rui still sat beside Gu Qingwan without moving, and had no intention of solving problems for her at all.

"Forget it......" Gu Qingwan sighed, and when she saw Gui Ye's eyebrows frowning, she ordered, "Be careful, Xuetuan is very fierce, don't let it scratch, let's go and call Shunxi and Shuangxi over, Xuetuan only listens to those three people now." ”

Among the "three people" she refers to, Zou Simin is naturally included.

The snow tuan was a tribute from Fanbang two years ago, and Empress Chen rewarded it to Princess Jing, and then transferred it to Zheng Rui through Princess Jing's hand. Zheng Rui is just teasing it in his spare time, most of them are a bit of a strange thing, and they are also raised by Zou Simin and their master and servant on weekdays.

After that, Zheng Rui sent the snow group to Gu Qingwan to offer treasure, but Gu Qingwan saw too much of this kind of Persian cat, but there was no reaction. In addition, this cat is only close to Zou Simin's master and servant, and it is not too late to give food to the living, so Gu Qingwan simply sent the snow ball to Zou Simin's house to raise.

The plum garden and the cui garden are far apart, and the cat has to cross several gardens every day to walk in the cui garden, and Zou Simin will be supported by Double Happiness and Shunxi to find the cat.

Gu Qingwan didn't know why Zou Simin was so persistent, the family that Princess Jing chose for her back then could also let her live a life without worrying about food and clothing, if Gu Qingwan was to choose, she would rather live a hard life than be a concubine.

This can only be said to be a personal opinion.

Seeing that Guiye didn't reply, Gu Qing nodded politely, and sure enough, he heard Bao Tian come in through the curtain, saying that Zou Simin was already waiting outside the courtyard, saying that Xue Tuan had entered Wanjuan Hall and was going to take it back personally.

Gu Qingwan's expression was not good, and when she saw the fat cat cowering under the chair, she only frowned and said, "Let her in." ”

As soon as Zou Simin came in, her eyes were glued to Zheng Rui, and she bit her lip as if Gu Qingwan had abused her. Taozhi coughed lightly, and then she came back to her senses and bowed to Gu Qingwan.

Gu Qingwan nodded, and her tone was faint and she couldn't hear her joy or anger: "Miss Zou doesn't have to be polite, Xuetuan doesn't like outsiders to touch, but she was wronged and took the girl to come in person." I finally came once, and Miss Zou accompanied me to talk. ”

After that, let the cinnamon leaves serve the tea. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
