Zheng Rui's words were a little scattered, and the jump was very large, Gu Qingwan was a little confused for a while. After being silent for a long time, she pulled away Zheng Rui's hand covering her eyes, and said in a suppressed voice: "What are you talking about?" ”

After asking this sentence, Gu Qingwan couldn't wait to cover her face. Zheng Rui's meaning between the lines, even if there are a lot of hints, Gu Qingwan still knows it in her heart.

Zheng Rui never closed his eyes for a month after his wedding, and he didn't use benzoin on her after that. As Zheng Rui said before, this matter is not his alone, he also has unspeakable hardships, but he doesn't want to hide Gu Qingwan, so he just wants to go with the flow.

Besides, looking back now, when she gets along with Zheng Rui on weekdays, Zheng Rui didn't deliberately pretend in front of her. If she was careful, she might still be able to see some clues, but she didn't think about it.

Sure enough, I heard Zheng Rui laugh lowly: "If I don't confess, that Dongzhu may have to kick his nose in the face with your connivance." Zou Simin came to wait in the Ten Thousand Scrolls Hall every day, and even stretched out his hand to the outer courtyard, if it wasn't for your acquiescence, how could it be so easy? ”

Gu Qingwan blushed a little for a while, these small actions were originally seen by Zheng Rui......

Speaking of Zou Simin, Gu Qingwan's expression froze, and then she turned over and sat up: "Zou Simin...... Why did she know, and when did she find out? ”

Zheng Rui shook his head and said in a low voice: "I was the youngest son back then, so I naturally took away some of my father's thoughts, and the Taifu was the only one who praised me among the princes, how could I not attract envy." It was okay when the concubine was still there, but there were new people in the palace, and later Concubine Jin was favored. Some people can't wait to be pushed into the water when I was young, and the maid who was waiting around me watched me drown on the shore. ”

"Then I had a high fever for several days. After waking up, my mother's throat was hoarse from crying, and she only told me to play stupid repeatedly. The imperial physician received the favor of the Song family when he was in Jiangling, and he repaid the favor at this time. If you don't have the opportunity to do so. I wouldn't live to be this day. Gu Qingwan was condescending at this time, and by the light, she could see the fierceness in Zheng Rui's eyes.

"There are not many people around me who can be trusted, except for the third brother and Du Jing, there are only a few people. I pretended to be stupid because of my illness, and at worst, I was a bully, since Mama Zhou died of illness three years ago, there is no credible person around me. ”

Mama Zhou is the maid brought into the palace by Concubine De from the Song family in Jiangling. Growing up with Concubine De in the Song family since childhood, he is very loyal. When she was young, she blocked a catastrophe for Concubine De and took a very domineering medicine. Although the imperial physician in the palace has superb medical skills, he has fallen into the root of the disease and will not be able to give birth in the future.

So even if Mama Zhou has reached the age of leaving the palace. has never left the palace to get married, but only serves by Concubine De's side wholeheartedly.

Concubine De died, and after Prince Jing got married and left the house, Mama Zhou moved to King Jing's mansion in the name of taking care of Zheng Rui. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and since Mama Zhou took the medicine, her body has been very weak, and she died of illness after only staying outside the palace for a year.

Gu Qingwan heard the eldest lady and Princess Jing mention this Mama Zhou, Zheng Rui lost his mother when he was young, and it was this Mama Zhou who brought him up. doesn't say that he is the same as mother and son, but Zheng Rui treats this Mama Zhou differently from others.

Seeing Zheng Rui's voice, he was a little sad. Gu Qingwan thought about it, and held Zheng Rui's hand with her backhand and rubbed it for a while.

Zheng Rui looked at Gu Qingwan's hand shaking with him, the look on his face warmed a little, and pulled him out of his memories again: "People in the know will not leak the news, it stands to reason that Zou Simin shouldn't know about this matter, if it weren't for you using her to test me during this time." I wouldn't have doubted her. ”

Gu Qingwan's expression changed, and then she said: "I don't know what she is thinking, but Zou Simin has calculated you, what are you still doing with her in the mansion?" ”

"I kept her at the beginning, but I just wanted her to contain Shunxi."

Zheng Rui looked stunned, glanced at Gu Qingwan and said, "The people on Concubine Shunxi's side, Shuangxi does have a cousin, but she was dropped on the way to Beijing. The third brother has always been cautious, and he found out the details of Shunxi at that time, so he used her to spread some false news. It's just that there are only two big girls in my yard, Double Happiness and Shunxi, and Shunxi has more things to do, and naturally has a lot of authority, so it happened that Zou Simin was careful at that time, and the third brother pushed the boat down the river to let Zou Simin and Shunxi check and balance. ”

Zheng Rui still remembers that when Zou Simin entered King Jing's mansion, he only had thoughts about King Jing. But for some reason, he suddenly changed his temperament, and became attentive to him again, and later drunk him to be in the same room with him.

Zheng Rui took care of the plan according to the wishes of Prince Jing, and let Zou Simin manage his courtyard, but he also somewhat restrained Shunxi's hands and feet.

For Zou Simin's diligence in the past few years, Zheng Rui didn't think about other aspects, after all, he grew up in the palace, and there are countless examples of climbing high branches in the clan family. He never doubted Zou Simin, so he was naturally confident that Zou Simin would never know about him pretending to be stupid.

But when Gu Qingwan used Zou Simin to test herself, Zheng Rui also saw something unusual. Zou Simin's words and deeds were too deliberate, as if he was sure that he would inevitably recover in the future.

This is also where Zheng Rui is puzzled, he is involved too much, and it is easy to think about things very complicated. From the beginning of doubting Zou Simin, he wondered if Zou Simin was a hidden stake planted by others beside him.

Gu Qingwan's brows furrowed, she had a faint guess in her heart, but she was still a little unsure, what the hell would be, and she would have to test it in a few days.

"I have instructed the concierge that the maids in the bamboo garden must come to report when they leave the house, and Zou Simin, as well as Shuangxi and Shunxi, are not allowed to leave the house. The mother-in-law who guards the door in the second gate is the person I brought from the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and tomorrow I will ask Guiye to personally instruct them that Zou Simin is not allowed to go out of the second gate. As for whether Zou Simin knows the Tao and how she knows the Tao, I naturally want to ask clearly. ”

Gu Qingwan said and looked at Zheng Rui: "That Shunxi, do you not move or put her under house arrest?" ”

Zheng Rui raised his eyebrows, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face: "You have already made people stare at Zou Simin?" ”

"It's nature." Gu Qingwan's expression was calm, and from the day she suspected Zheng Rui of pretending to be stupid, she felt that Zou Simin's eccentricity had been explained.

No matter how she felt aggrieved and angry in her heart, it couldn't change the relationship between her and Zheng Rui. Now that it is an eventful time, Concubine Xian may not have a chance to catch the handle of Empress Chen's side, Gu Qingwan will naturally not be stupid enough to send a pillow to Concubine Xian when she is sleepy.

Regardless of whether Zou Simin knew it or not, if there was a trace of suspicion, Gu Qingwan did not dare to take risks. On the one hand, she connived at Dongzhu and Zou Simin, and let Zou Simin stimulate Zheng Rui, but on the other hand, she let Hongying and Biyu keep a firm eye on Zou Simin, and explained to the porter to prevent Zou Simin from having the opportunity to go out of the house and contact with outsiders.

Zheng Rui looked at Gu Qingwan's expression, and swallowed the words that he had already let the dark guard stare at Zou Simin. Shunxi had already sent someone to keep an eye on him, that is, the people sent by Concubine Xian to the Rui Wangfu to contact Shunxi were all dropped by Zheng Rui early, and those few people in the bamboo garden couldn't make waves in the short term.

As for whether Zou Simin knew the truth about Lu Dao and how she knew Lu Dao, Zheng Rui was a little curious. However, since Gu Qingwan said that she wanted to ask in person, Zheng Rui also followed her.

Seeing Gu Qingwan's thoughtful expression, Zheng Rui secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He has always had a keen sense, and since he noticed Gu Qingwan's changes, he has been very uneasy in his heart, and he always feels as if something is wrong.

The situation in the court has become more and more severe this year, at the end of last year, Emperor Yufeng had a stroke, although the imperial doctor was saved by the needle, but the body was not as good as before, so just after the recovery of the illness was canonized several princes.

After several princes were crowned princes, they were naturally busy secretly dividing the forces, and the court and China were even more turbulent. Empress Chen and Concubine Xian were on equal footing, and Concubine Li barely earned a place in the cracks.

The young and the old are orderly, and after the death of the prince, Prince Ke occupies the word "long". And the concubine has a share, King Jing's biological mother is Concubine De, and he passed under the name of Queen Chen, and he barely occupied the word "Yan". In addition, both sides hold military power, and the two sides are eyeing each other, so Emperor Yufeng is unwilling to easily determine the candidate for the crown prince.

It is precisely because Prince Jing and Prince Ke are both strong that Emperor Yufeng became even more suspicious after he became seriously ill. If Zheng Rui's matter is shaken out, and Concubine Xian adds oil and vinegar to the side, the crime of bullying the king is indispensable. Long Yan was furious, even the faction of King Jing was not pleased.

If he confessed the truth to Gu Qingwan, he would have to respond to some things in a piecemeal and positive way, and with Gu Qingwan's astuteness, he would naturally be able to connect many clues in series. If something goes wrong, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's all about to happen.

Therefore, Zheng Rui hesitated for a long time, and then remembered that on the second day of the wedding, Gu Qingwan said in a solemn tone, "If you have me, I will protect you for a day", and suddenly she was a little stunned.

He did let Gu Qingwan into his trap step by step, starting from the time he saw Gu Qingwan in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and the subsequent temptations and calculations did not need to be mentioned. But after the wedding, Zheng Rui became more and more aware of what he wanted, and if he wanted to get it, he naturally had to pay first.

Gu Qingwan has a stubborn temperament, although she treats others tolerantly, she can't rub a little sand in her eyes when it comes to some people's lives and certain things. Later, Zheng Rui recalled it and was really a little glad of his original decision.

Gu Qingwan stared at Zheng Rui for a long time, Zheng Rui was already half-leaning on the edge of the bed, and he could see the expression on his face clearly by the moonlight.

"I'm just asking you three things, can you answer me honestly?" Gu Qingwan's face looked a little pale in the moonlight, and she had some confidence in her heart. Because of this, she felt her heart sink a little more. (To be continued.)
