In the overseer's room, Yan Wan was stared at fiercely by a young maid with cold eyes, as if she was frightened, and her face immediately changed greatly.

The footsteps took two steps back, and the watery eyes then contained some teardrops, and the eyes were wet and red, and he was about to cry when he looked at it, revealing a bit of soft-hearted energy.

For a while, the atmosphere was awkwardly quiet.

Leng Qingtang's face sank, he was silent, and his deep gaze turned to the side, not looking at Yan Wan or Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi was in an irritable mood, rushed over to pull Qing'er away, and reprimanded her with a straight face:

"You don't know how to do it, give it to me!"

was scolded by her master in front of the person she hated, Qing'er couldn't hold it on her face, and she felt that she was very wronged.

Her plump lower lip curled up, and she choked in a voice:

"That's it...... I feel sorry for you the most! ”

Looking at Qing'er's back as she raised her legs and ran away, Gu Yunxi felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Turning her head, after glancing at the Overseer with a numb face, she bowed her hand to Yanwan:

"Let the girl smile, that girl is young and doesn't know how to speak."

"Where, where ......"

Yan Wan smiled like a flower, and didn't seem to mind.

Gu Yunxi smiled reluctantly:

"Keep talking to the Overseer, and I'll go prepare dinner......"

"Yun Guan'er ......"

The moment Gu Yunxi turned around and was about to leave, the overseer on the bed finally spoke, and said quietly:

"There are also two grandmothers in the palace who entered the house with Miss Yanwan, and I have sent someone to clean up the wing room in the courtyard. From now on, the three of them ...... and I live in this courtyard. ”

The tone of the sentence was not to solicit, but to inform her.

Gu Yunxi never looked back, only replied out of thin air in a light tone:

"Yes."

Walking out of the Overseer's Courtyard, Gu Yunxi paused at his feet, raised his head and took a deep breath.

Above the sky, the stars are scattered, and the light is bright and bright. A lonely moon in the north, lying in the thin clouds, cold and alone.

Gu Yunxi's heart was empty.

Two days ago, she thought she and the Overseer would die in prison. At that time, she had despaired that she could be with her beloved forever, and that she would never have to be separated again, and that she would no longer be calculated. So, even if you die, what is there to fear?

When they got out of prison, she thought they were alive. She vowed to cherish the time ahead, and to be with the Overseer for the rest of her life.

She also thought that if they met again after they had gone through the Ghost Gate together, the Overseer would treat her as before, and she sat on the edge of the bed, suppressing the joy and excitement in each other's hearts, and approaching each other, and intimately complaining to each other......

But I didn't know that all the beautiful ideas came into the house with the woman called "Yanwan", and in an instant, like a collapsed sand castle, it came to naught......

Gu Yunxi couldn't have imagined that when they saw each other again, the status quo would be reversed sharply!

There seemed to be a faint sound in his chest. It must have been the sound of her heart shattering, she thought

Walking slowly with heavy steps, Gu Yunxi was suddenly startled by the black shadow in the corner. Look closely, but it's Qing'er.

It turned out that she had been guarding this side, waiting for her own girl.

Seeing Gu Yunxiying walking out of the overseer's courtyard alone, he hurriedly greeted him, with worry between his eyebrows and eyes:

"Girl......"

"Shh......h

Gu Yunxi was stunned, raised his hand and desperately blocked Qing'er's mouth, looked around cautiously, and lowered his voice one by one:

"Little Ancestor whispered! Don't scream anymore and be heard! ”

Qing'er angrily pulled away Gu Yunxi's hand and complained:

"What are you afraid of? If you had reverted to women's clothing earlier, how could you have survived this mess?! I'm just not convinced, you've been with your master for a long time, how many dangers have you experienced? It's good now, the lord said that if you leave people around, you don't want to recruit yourself, but I'm afraid that in the end, there will be no place for you to stand in this house! ”

Gu Yunxi looked at Qing'er silently, and was moved to the point that her eyes were pantothenic.

This girl is not very old, she is short-tempered, but her heart is not bad, she only knows how to follow her master wholeheartedly, and she always thinks about everything for her master.

Gu Yunxi sighed lightly, took Qing'er's hand kindly, and said excitedly:

"I know you're really good for me, but we have to do it

The big picture counts. Now that something has happened to the governor, how to regain the emperor's trust is naturally more important than anything else. Yanwan is a person in the queen's palace, as the overseer, for the Dongchang, we must endure. Qing'er, you just think it's for me and the overseer, be patient for the time being, don't always treat her like a black-eyed chicken, okay? ”

Qing'er lowered her head, had nothing to say, and nodded helplessly.

Gu Yunxi patted her on the shoulder, and took her to go back, when she met Cheng Wanli, who was coming on, carrying a long round lantern in his hand.

"Yo, Yun girl, are you awake?"

Seeing her, Cheng Wanli was surprised.

"Shh

Gu Yunxi made a silent gesture to him, then pointed to the overseer's room, and whispered to him:

"Cheng Qianhu, in the future, you should still call me 'Yun Guan'er'."

Cheng Wanli's face froze, it was obvious that he had already met the girl in the palace.

Sa Mu looked at the position of Gu Yunxi's finger, Cheng Wanli sighed, and then lowered his eyes and said:

"Yun Guan'er, let's go, Uncle Cheng will send you back, and I will discuss some things with you."

And me?

Gu Yunxi's curious eyes were raised, looking directly at Cheng Wanli's big square face that was red by the orange light in the lantern, and he felt flattered.

In the past, he couldn't stretch his face at every turn, and he shook his face to show her!

Gu Yunxi didn't dare to delay, obediently followed Lord Qianhu, and was guided by the orange-red beam in the lantern to return to her house.

Cheng Wanli didn't care about anything to avoid it, put the lantern directly under the porch, and strode into Gu Yunxi's house.

As soon as he came in, he said straight to her:

"Yun Guan'er, don't take that girl's matter to heart. You and I know the situation of the Overseer now. There are some things that should be taken back, so let's take a step back for the time being, ah? ”

Gu Yunxi smiled calmly and made a gesture inviting him to sit at the table:

"Don't worry, I know how to do it."

When Cheng Wanli sat down, Gu Yunxi also sat opposite him, and asked with a straight face:

"Uncle Cheng, about the Spring Banquet, can you find any clues in the palace these days?"

Cheng Wanli showed a look of frustration, shook his head slowly, his dim gaze turned into nothingness, and he looked straight at somewhere on the desktop:

"It seems that the emperor didn't want to investigate in detail, and used the old routine in the palace to use Liu Shanggong, who was in charge of the Shanggong Bureau, and Lefang, as substitutes for the dead, and Ling Chi was executed the next day after the accident......"

Gu Yunxi's face turned pale, and there was a stunned light flowing in his wide apricot eyes, and it was simply unacceptable to that kind of careless method of disregarding human life.

"How will it be...... Such? ”

"The emperor has the emperor's plan. To be honest, this time it happened strangely, and it wasn't for the emperor at all......"

After Cheng Wanli finished speaking, he raised his fist to hit the table, his expression depressed.

Gu Yunxi nodded slowly, and said with complicated thoughts:

"Sure enough, it's for the Overseer...... I said, Jiang An has never stopped all the way. If you don't find out the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible, I'm afraid that he will attack the overseer and Dongchang in the future? ”

Cheng Wanli Road:

"Our people are all in Dongchang at the moment, under the jurisdiction of the forbidden army, and they are not free to move, so they can't do many things at all."

Gu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered slightly, raised his eyes and looked directly at Cheng Wanli and asked:

"As far as you can see, will the dancers who were transferred to the Spring Banquet have been poisoned?"

Cheng Wanli hugged his shoulders and frowned, shook his head and denied:

"Unlikely. There are fixed hours when people enter the palace, and the checkpoints are frequent, so it is inconvenient to start during the day. Before the accident, the Gongyuan side was our own people in Dongchang. And to commit murder in the palace is to take a great risk.

I think that being transferred to someone will have the opportunity to do it on the way from the Gongyuan to the Imperial Palace. Moreover, the internal officials of the supervisors on the road must be close to the masterminds behind the scenes, so they have a chance to succeed. However, after the accident, I learned that after the accident, the internal official finished the errand and contracted a violent disease within a few days, and the person was gone! Recently, I haven't heard of any murder in the capital, and those tribute girls are probably still alive. They were either hidden, mutilated, and sent to the frontier, or sold or used as military slaves. ”

"Find!"

Gu Yunxi said categorically:

"Find them! At least get the witnesses out of the room and question them first. Even if people are dumb, the words will always be written......"

"How?"

Cheng Wanli's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he became interested. Without waiting for Gu Yunxi to finish speaking, he hurriedly interrupted her, twisted his eyebrows and said in distress:

"Those assassins are dead! This is the viciousness of the masterminds behind the scenes. He deliberately destroyed the evidence and did not give the overseer a chance to overturn the case! ”

"Even if a person dies, there will always be a roster! Each repertoire corresponds to the wind and dancers, and there will always be a record in the palace, right? ”

"That's right!"

Cheng Wanli immediately opened his mouth, and was so excited that he struck hard with his palms, and the gloomy clouds on his black face became several layers thinner in an instant.

"The roster of repertoire you mentioned, a copy of which is in the Music Workshop of the Shanggong Bureau, should have been sealed after the accident. As is customary, the celebrant will always have a file. ”

After hearing this, Gu Yunxi was full of spirits, and he was in a happy mood, and clenched his fists to Cheng Wanli and said:

"I managed to get in touch with Yu Zhaoyi and ask her to find the names of the seven dancers on the roster and copy them out of the palace.

I know most of the girls in the Gongyuan, so I can ask the painter to paint the portrait according to my description, and then send a secret guard to find it. As soon as there is a whereabouts, try to save people immediately. ”

Cheng Wanli tilted his head and thought about it:

"At present, Dongchang is surrounded by the forbidden army, and no one can be brought out. I could gather the few guards on the street and conduct a secret search. There are also our horsemen in other provinces, and if necessary, they can also be recalled as manpower! ”

"No!"

Gu Yunxi raised his hand to object, his eyes fixed on Lord Qianhu, and said in a resolute tone:

"The imperial court has banned Dongchang, which is already wary of us, and at this time, we must not gather forces to prevent extraneous branches. No matter how difficult and tiring it is, it must be carried by a few of us. The number of people is counterproductive, and the truth is carefully implemented! ”

Cheng Wanli looked at the teenage girl in front of him in a daze, and was secretly taken aback, and his admiring gaze fell on Gu Yunxi's scarred facial features, which did not fade for a long time.

She sat on the side of the corner table, dressed neatly as a son, with an elegant and dignified posture. At this moment, his eyes are slightly lowered, and the silence is full of determination and confidence.

That calm and wise look is indeed somewhat similar to that of his own overseer.

Cheng Wanli sincerely praised, this girl is worthy of being taught by her master! In the past year, she has retired from her childishness, which is indeed very different from the sick, delicate and weak little girl in the Gongyuan. Now he is not only full of courage, but also shows absolute courage and wisdom in his gestures.

Thinking of the moment he saw her outside the noon gate after the palace accident that night, the tenacity she showed deeply affected him.

Seeing her gloomy face, Cheng Wanli said at this time:

"Yun girl, there have been a lot of things recently, and you have suffered a lot of crimes, so rest early."

"No, I'll go to the kitchen and make some food for the Overseer. After a while, he will have to drink medicine, and his stomach will not be empty. ”

"Hey......"

Cheng Wanli sighed, his heart was slightly sour, and he felt a sense of distress that he had never felt before:

"Yun Guan'er, let someone get it. Your body is your own, don't exhaust yourself. ”

Gu Yunxi just got up, and the next moment of action was a meal. Shui Lingling's eyes looked at Cheng Wanli in a daze, as if he was quite surprised by his hard-won compassion for her.

Cheng Wanli noticed all kinds of doubts and incomprehensions on Gu Yunxi's face, and immediately dodged his gaze, and his black face was mixed with a layer of crimson color, and his square face completely turned into a big purple and black eggplant.

"Uh...... That's it, girl...... Your Uncle Cheng is a rough person, and he has a straight personality and doesn't have any other thoughts. Where you used to live and couldn't live in the past, don't go to your heart......"

He said incoherently, and the place that he couldn't say to Gu Yunxi in his words was nothing more than the past when he was mean to her and shook his face at every turn.

Gu Yunxi smiled generously after hearing this, his voice was a little brighter, and he said sincerely:

"Uncle Cheng, what are you talking about! Why can't I remember where you couldn't live with me in the past? In the East Factory, you have been with the Overseer for much longer than I have been with him, and you are the most trusted person of the Overseer, and naturally your elder. The teachings of the elders, Yunxi will listen to them. In the future, if I don't do things well, I still want you to continue to advise. ”

After a lot of heartwork, Cheng Wanli felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and his two eyes were hot and sour.
