Chapter 18 Acting in Embarrassment

Yuzuki Gongyuan

In the middle of the night, a group of imperial forbidden troops suddenly broke in, ran around, and searched indiscriminately.

Gu's mother, the head of the Gongyuan, was woken up in a hurry from her sleep, and when she saw the posture of the officers and soldiers in the courtyard, she immediately became sincerely frightened.

A few hours ago, there was an accident in the palace, and the news about the enemy country pretending to be a tribute girl to sneak into the palace and assassinate the emperor was tightly blocked, so that the tribute court has not gotten the slightest rumor so far.

The tribute ladies held the lamps one after another, and when they opened the door, they saw many officers and soldiers with horizontal eyebrows and swords in their hands, and heard that many heavy armor on their bodies frequently made a cold and sharp sound of "click, click", and they were frightened one by one, standing in the courtyard in a daze, hugging each other and comforting each other.

Gu's mother didn't know what to mean, and she rose to meet her with a hard scalp, and her old face before she had time to put on makeup was already pale, comparable to rubbing any balsam gouache.

Blessing the leading officer, Gu's mother stumbled and asked:

"Master Jun, Master Jun, what's going on......

"You are the head of the five products in this courtyard?"

The officer took his hand, looked up and down, and asked rhetorically with a sinking face, his expression was so sad.

"Yes, yes, yes, old man...... Surname Gu ......"

Gu's mother said incoherently.

The stout man's eyes in front of her were extremely sharp and imposing, which made her heart even more panicked, and while answering in a panic, she lowered her head in horror.

Unexpectedly, the officer raised his hand and commanded his subordinates in a strong voice:

"Come on, take her down and hand her over to the court!"

"Master Jun! Why is that? ”

Gu's mother was still in the cloud and mountain fog shrouded by the three or two officers and soldiers who rushed upside down, and she couldn't help but struggle with sorrow, and her legs trembled like cramps.

"Old body...... The old body wants to see Lord Leng Overseer...... Let the old man see the cold overseer! ”

Gu's mother was in a panic, shouting loudly without knowing what, and she only felt that she was wronged.

For many years, this tribute court was a subordinate branch of the celebrant and was directly under the jurisdiction of Leng Qingtang, the father-in-law of Zhangyin.

Now, Gu's mother mistakenly thought that she had committed something to anger the admiral, so she sent a team of officers and soldiers to get her.

"Humph! What about the cold overseer? This army is taking people related to Lord Leng Duke! ”

The officer smiled coldly, and what else to say, a voice came from behind him:

"As the head of the Tribute Court, you have fornicated with the enemy and instructed the assassin to enter the palace to assassinate the Holy Saint by pretending to be a tribute girl, and the Governor will take you for questioning."

When the officer turned around, he saw that it was Ming Lan, the commander of the West Factory, surrounded by a team of West Factory Ti Cavalry, majestic from far and near.

The white and gorgeous admiral's robe echoes his delicate and bewitching snow-colored face, adding a unique charm to his feminine and beautiful appearance.

As soon as he finished the prison of Leng Qingtang in the palace, he rushed to the tribute courtyard.

The officer frowned quietly, and politely bowed his hand to him:

"I have seen the Lord of the Ming Governor."

Minglan stopped proudly, shook the big fur on his body, and glanced at the officer who was bowing to him next to him with a bright eye, and settled on Gu's mother, who was about to collapse in fright, and said bluntly:

"The emperor has passed on the word that this tribute court will be taken over by the governor's Xichang, and the offender will be taken to the Xichang for questioning!"

"This ......"

The officer's expression froze, and he hesitated.

When he came, the former eunuch Hu Gonggong secretly instructed that people must bring the Ye Tingsi that his power could reach.

If you are preempted by the West Factory, as soon as you enter the West Factory Prison, you are afraid that you will not be able to stand the punishment and confess some non-existent things, which will make the situation even more chaotic.

Minglan didn't care what the officer's face was, he walked over directly, approached Gu's mother, tilted his head to examine her embarrassed face, smiled casually, and said in a kind tone:

"Don't be afraid, Ben Governor will only ask you about one person. If you answer well, you don't have to go to the West Factory. ”

Gu's mother trembled, but she still didn't dare to raise her head at will, her tongue seemed to be bolted, and her voice was slurred:

"You, you ask...... If the old body, the old body knows......"

"You will

Be sure to know! ”

Minglan couldn't wait to interrupt her, excited, it was difficult to suppress it in her heart, Shuo Shuo's shining eyes looked at Gu's mother tightly, and asked unceremoniously:

"This governor asks you, there used to be a tribute girl in this courtyard, fifteen or sixteen years old, called 'Yun Guan'er'......"

One wall asked, and the other wall stared at Gu Mother's facial expression with sharp eyes. Seeing her suddenly, he added in a dark voice:

"Later, he was favored by the commander of Dongchang and brought to Dongchang ......"

Hearing this, Gu's mother's expression suddenly appeared frightened, as if it was short-lived, and she immediately put on a calm face, and replied calmly:

"In the Gongyuan, there has never been a ...... The maiden whose name is 'Yun Guan'er'. ”

"Oh?"

Minglan raised his eyebrows slyly, and his cold and thin palm suddenly fell on Gu's mother's shoulder.

And she, at the moment when she raised her head in surprise, was facing the bright eyes of Shang Minglan.

Suddenly, there was a sinister smile, which quietly bloomed at the corner of his mouth:

"What the Governor wants to know is that Grandpa Leng ...... Is there anything out of your hands, take the tribute girl to his East Factory! ”

Gu's mother opened her mouth in surprise and was speechless for a while. On the wrinkled dark yellow old face, those deliberately suppressed wrong expressions were all released at this moment, and it was difficult to hide them.

Minglan saw her downfall in her eyes, and knew that the sentence just now was the right question.

At this time, Gu's mother was even more panicked in her heart.

Intuitively, she could sense that something had happened to the Admiral of Dongchang.

Not only that, Minglan's questioning also enabled her to be sure that what the Admiral of Dongchang committed was also directly related to Gu Yunxi!

How to answer?

How should we answer in order to protect ourselves and keep the tribute?

When he was hesitating, a soft voice fluttered in:

"This adult, are you inquiring about the Yunxi girl next to Grandpa Leng?"

"Yun Jin"

Gu's mother immediately lost color and stared at her. When he saw Gu Yunjin in the crowd, he drank heavily, but it was too late.

This revelation was like thunder, and everyone present looked at Gu Yunjin with a surprised attitude.

And she is still calm, light, and delicate.

Dressed in an elegant dress and long skirt, a dark cloud loosely tied behind his head, his watery eyes and Minglan looked at each other calmly, focused and bold. The delicate pink lips seem to be smiling but not smiling, with a sense of arrogance that looks down on the world.

The shocking glance made Minglan speechless for a while.

"My lord, what do you have to ask, the little woman knows everything."

Seeing Minglan's gaffe, Gu Yunjin curled her lips proudly, smiled silently, and opened her mouth to speak tactfully and beautifully.

Minglan came back to his senses for a moment, nodded with satisfaction, and said in a deep voice to the officers beside him:

"This governor is going to take this girl and the head of the Gongyuan to the West Factory immediately, you don't want to stop it!"

The officer was helpless, and he gave up his hand again, and retreated to the side to no longer obstruct.

Minglan brushed his fingers on the elastic ink trim of the delicate fur on his body, paced freely, and walked slowly towards Gu Yunjin.

The girl in her eyes is not very old, and her facial features are like peonies, and she is radiant. The figure is full of energy, and it has a moving charm.

Compared with Yun Guan'er, she is also a stunning beauty

Gu Yunjin saw Minglan approaching, fluttering a thousand blessings, looking at Minglan with a smile on his eyebrows, and said in a soft voice:

"Lord Qiyu, the little girl has a sister who grew up together since she was a child in the Gongyuan, and her maiden name is 'Yunxi', not long ago, she was indeed taken to the East Factory by the master of ceremonies. The little girl didn't know if the person the adult was asking was her. ”

After hearing this, Minglan was so excited that his pupils dilated, and the light in his eyes shone brightly.

With a treacherous smile, he looked directly at Gu Yunjin and said intently:

"Okay, you can change places with Ben Du and ...... her affairs Speak slowly to the Governor. ”

……

Beijing, West Factory

Minglan listened to Gu Yunjin and said all kinds of past events in the Tribute Academy

, on the blood-white pointed face, the expression is all ups and downs.

With his wide sleeves and his hands clenched into fists, he put his sharp eyes away and thought quietly for a moment.

As Gu Yunjin said, eleven years ago, Leng Qingtang accepted three orphan girls and sent them to the tribute hospital, and entrusted Gu's mother to raise them single-handedly.

Among the three girls, one is Gu Yunyao, who was forced into the palace, that is, the current Yu Zhaoyi; One is Gu Yunjin in front of him; And the other one is the girl named Gu Yunxi!

Hum! Yunxi ...... Yun Guan'er!

Minglan secretly laughed to himself:

Leng Qingtang, you are really scheming and good means!

The Governor has long been aware of your secret royal court, and now he has finally caught you!

When I think about it, there is always something that doesn't make sense.

If Leng Qingtang is a person who is obsessed, why does he only have a preference for Gu Yunxi? In terms of appearance, Gu Yunjin in front of him can be described as a dragon and phoenix among people!

Why did he fall in love with the frail Gu Yunxi?

On the side, Gu Yunjin was very eye-catching, and seeing that Minglan was silent for a while, he knelt on the ground and said pleadingly:

"Overseer, please trust the little girl. What the little girl said was true, and she would never dare to lie and deliberately deceive the overseer. ”

Minglan waved her hand lazily, motioned her to get up, and said proudly:

"Well, Bendu doesn't doubt it, don't be nervous."

Gu Yunjin was still kneeling on the ground, prostrate again, and the five bodies were respectful:

"The little girl has the courage to ask the Overseer for something."

"You speak."

The little girl and the other two sisters were raised by Gu's mother. Ten years of nurturing, grace is like a mountain. Gu's mother was originally an old man in the palace and has always been cautious.

Just now, when the overseer mentioned Yun Guan'er to him, Gu's mother must have listened to it, so she didn't dare to speak out. I didn't mean to hide it, but I also asked the overseer to be gracious, and the West Factory was imprisoned, so don't be too embarrassed for her. ”

Minglan was silent, and his eyes looked at Gu Yunjin's whole body extremely seriously.

Seeing her kneeling on the ground, her posture was dignified, and she looked like a charming and charming temptation, she couldn't help but pick her lips playfully, slowly got up from the Taishi chair, and approached her gently.

Being clasped by Minglan's clammy orchid fingers with his chin, Gu Yunjin instinctively felt that it was not good.

Although he was extremely disgusted, he had to be patient, suppressing the panic in his heart, hooking his eyes to Minglan, and conveying affection in his veins, respectfully with the meaning of well-behaved and obedient, which made him irresistible for a while.

Minglan was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and secretly said in his heart, this is not only outstanding, but also knows current affairs better than Gu Yunxi's stupid girl

"You just said that Yunxi was jealous of you, not only wanted to ruin your appearance, but also plucked Father-in-law Leng and whipped you in public?"

"Yes, it does."

Gu Yunjin's face immediately changed, and his aggrieved eyes were firmly locked on Minglan, watery and shining, and in a moment, he was excited.

"So...... Do you want to go to the palace and have the opportunity to serve the saints? ”

The bright eyes went straight to the delicate little face in front of him, the greedy color in Minglan's eyes was a few heavy, and his voice was feminine, revealing a kind of euphemistic hint.

Gu Yunjin's eyes widened, with some unbelievable trepidation. Then he prostrate again and worship under Minglan's soap boots:

"Overseer, you are my reborn parent. If the little girl can enter the palace to inherit the favor, in this life, this life will be handed over to you, the overseer! ”

"Ben Governor doesn't want your life......"

Minglan smiled treacherously, reached over, and stroked the flawless face in front of him.

The slender index finger slid all the way down her neck, all the way to her chest, and then stopped.

"Since you want to enter the palace and get ahead, you have to obey the orders of the governor. What does the Governor want you to do, you can't resist, you know? ”

Inexplicably flustered by his strange movements, Gu Yunjin nodded dryly, endured endless panic and resistance, and responded in a trembling voice:

"Yes, little girl...... Remember the Episcopal ......"
