Break the Marquis's Mansion

At this time, the season is when the wisteria flowers are blooming, and the petals are blown by the cool breeze of summer, scattered, and fall to the ground, stepping into the house, it is like walking on the purple clouds.

The cool breeze seemed to rise, blowing up the wisteria petals, circling in the air, slowly falling, and falling on Gu Qingwan's head, shoulders, and skirt.

She stood quietly outside, looking at the wisteria flowers in full bloom.

Suddenly, a person came running from the door, rushed in in a hurry, whispered in Zilan's ear, and at the same time stuffed a small note in her hand, Zilan waved him to step back, walked slowly to Gu Qingwan's side, handed over the paper, and whispered: "Urgent letter from Gonggong Deyu in the palace." ”

The slender jade finger opened the note, and after a moment of silence, Gu Qingwan's calm face was flooded with a trace of waves, and she suddenly said: "Mu Canglan ......"

"Madame......" Seeing the visitor, Deyu stroked his belt, slightly smoothed out the hem of his clothes that were a little wrinkled due to the long wait, and walked towards him, who had just been promoted to the director of the Changning Palace, changed from a purple robe to an azure brocade robe, and his skin was transparent due to neutrality, with his already humble and polite Sven, the whole person was full of vigor and vitality.

Gu Qingwan was not stained with fat powder, dressed in ordinary palace clothes, a simple glass hairpin was inserted on the hibiscus bun, showing a clear beauty that had been washed away, as if she smiled with hidden worry, crossed the Xuanyu Gate, and looked around, there was no figure, so she spoke: "Father-in-law, your letter said that the poisoning of the five princes is related to Mu Canglan?" ”

Nodding lightly, Deyu walked to Gu Qingwan's side, side by side with Gu Qingwan, looking at it from a distance, there was nothing abnormal, and he lowered his body and said in Gu Qingwan's ear: "Madam, the prince has entered the palace from Xuanji Gate, and he is investigating with Gonggong Zhang in the Imperial Medical Palace at the moment, you are extremely inconvenient in the palace at the moment, do you want to change your clothes first." ”

This Deyu's mind is really meticulous, Gu Qingwan said secretly, this time he secretly entered the palace, it was a secret investigation, of course, he had to avoid people's eyes, he smiled, turned his face sideways, and with a cunning face, he pondered: "What is the best change?" ”

"Pretending to be a palace maid......" Deyu seemed to look at Gu Qingwan carefully and shook his head, "It's not suitable, let's pretend to be a father-in-law." ”

“…… Got no other options? As if unintentionally, Gu Qingwan asked with a light smile.

……

After a while, walking out of the side hall of Changning Palace, Gu Qingwan pulled the clothes on her body uncomfortably, and when she saw Deyu staring at her intently, she couldn't help laughing, and asked, "Isn't it too strange?" ”

Turning his head unnaturally, Deyu took a step back, bowed his head slightly, and said humbly, "No, madam." ”

Stepping down the steps and looking left and right, Gu Qingwan asked the people around her: "Who did the prince see after entering the palace?" ”

"When I first entered the palace, I summoned Gonggong Zhang, and then went to the Imperial Doctor's Palace, and then went to the pharmacy and the side hall used to stew medicine, and now it seems that I am going to the forbidden place of the palace." Truthfully and in detail, there is no omission.

Gu Qingwan smiled dumbly: "It's really leaky......"

"Madam," noticing Gu Qingwan's expression, Deyu reminded, "If the prince has already discovered something at this moment, he will not continue to investigate all the way." What's more, it's been two months since this matter, and some clues are blurred, and everything has to be discussed as usual. ”

Glancing at him appreciatively, Gu Qingwan nodded in agreement, was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Two months ago, the fifth prince was poisoned, except for the Qin imperial doctor, there are no other imperial doctors who are in the same consultation?" ”

"Yes, there is also Imperial Doctor Zhang, but unfortunately a few days after the incident, he has already returned to his hometown."

The question that was already unclear about the answer seemed to be confusing at this moment, Gu Qingwan only felt that there was a vast white mist in front of her, thought about it, and asked Deyu lightly: "What do you think is the probability that this matter was done by the queen?" ”

Deyu fell into silence, not daring to answer this question easily, and after thinking about it for a long time, he spoke again: "The probability is not great, the queen at that time suffered a loss at the hands of the concubine, and was half under house arrest in the palace, so she should not have the strength to do this."

Although this is the answer in my heart, I also have doubts, who is so reckless in the harem? Is it the crown prince? However, the prince at that time was sent to the disaster area for disaster relief, thousands of miles away from the capital, so he naturally had an alibi.

The two talked while walking, and although they met a few eunuchs and palace maids on the way, they were not in danger. Walking to the middle courtyard of the harem, a little eunuch ran closer, muttered a few words in Deyu's ear, and left quickly. Deyu turned his face back and said as if worried: "The prince is now going to Jingyi Palace to see the concubine." ”

Gu Qingwan smiled lightly and listened to his report, secretly appreciating, sure enough, he didn't find the wrong person, this person is cautious and flexible, and with a little time, he will definitely be the figure of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the palace. It's a pity that the news in my ears is not optimistic, Gu Qingwan murmured softly: "I lost the opportunity......

"Madame, there's another place we can go and see." Deyu Sven's face seemed to be worried, and he persuaded.

"Somewhere

"All the medicine served to the five princes must be tasted first, so an extra bowl will be prepared, and when the person who tries it is gone, he will give it to his mother." People who have been testing drugs all year round are already familiar with the medicinal properties, why did they eat Mucanglan but didn't find it?

"What do you mean......"

"If you test the medicine for the concubine, you should be in the side hall of the Imperial Palace."

"Then let's go." The smile like a flower unfolded, Gu Qingwan's joy appeared, and at that moment, there was a hidden charm in the extreme beauty, and Deyu was stunned when he saw it, and after a little calm, Gu Qingwan had already taken the lead in moving away, and he hurried to catch up.

When he came to the corridor of the Imperial Palace, Deyu suddenly rushed forward and shouted anxiously: "Madam, ahead." ”

Gu Qingwan stared intently, not far away was actually King Yujiang and his party, followed by a few officials and eunuchs and the like, his heart was cold, he didn't expect this, he didn't fall behind, it was simply not the slightest. At the same time, he was slightly flustered, and the outfit on his body could be hidden from others, how could he hide from the thoughtful Ji Xu. Fortunately, this is the bend in the corridor, and the other party doesn't seem to see it.

"Madam," in a hurry, Deyu was in a hurry, grabbed Gu Qingwan's hand, and said softly: "Come with me, first go to the 'Imperial Palace' to avoid it." The two of them followed the corridor and came to the main hall of the Imperial Palace, and without thinking too much, they pushed the door and entered.

The palace is built by the emperor who was extravagant by nature, usually used by the emperor to rest and deal with idle things, and ordinary people are not allowed to disturb, at the moment it is quiet and quiet, there is no one, the palace adopts the design of natural lighting, in the beams of the house, it is made of glass crystal, and the outdoor light is introduced into the house, Gu Qingwan has seen countless treasures, and when she enters this house, there is still a feeling of dizziness.

Before she could appreciate all of them, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, as if someone was about to enter the hall, Gu Qingwan was very surprised. You can't break in here at will, who is here at this moment? How do you explain it here? Turning around, it was Deyu's deep face that was opposite, and the two looked at each other, and the footsteps and voices outside the door were getting closer and closer.

The door of the Imperial Hall was opened with a "squeak".

The three palace maids rushed in, and one of them spoke in surprise: "Why didn't the curtain be closed in the hall, what did you do, did you forget to scold your grandmother last time?" The two palace maids who followed behind them didn't dare to reply, but agreed resignedly, and after a while, the glass crystal was suddenly covered by the curtain, and the hall that was still shining just now suddenly became extremely dark.

Kneeling between the dragon chair and the wall, Gu Qingwan breathed carefully, her eyes turned, she met Deyu, seeing that he was also a little nervous, she couldn't help but be a little funny, showing a slight smile, secretly glad that luck was really good, this palace famous for its extravagance and gorgeousness, even the distance between the dragon chair and the wall is also very magnificent, and it can hide two people, if she is the emperor, I am afraid that the first thing every day is to check whether there is someone hidden behind the dragon chair.

The hall was suddenly as dark as night, falling into twilight, the footsteps of the palace maid seemed to circle around the palace, except for the palace maid with a particularly fierce tone, the other two did not say a word, and finally when they were busy, the sound of the door shaft turning came again, Gu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief, supported the ground with her hands, raised her knees, and was about to get up, when the three palace maids suddenly stopped closing the door, knelt on the ground, and said in unison: "See Concubine Li." ”

Sighing secretly, Gu Qingwan was unwilling, but she had to bow down again, retreat to her original position, and couldn't look at it, because Concubine Li and the others were standing outside the hall, only a few vague words floated in their ears, and what they said was not clear to hear. After waiting for a while, calm finally returned again, and the sound of the door closing was heard again, and the door of the main hall was closed.

The silence lasted for half a moment, and no sound was heard, and Deyu was relieved, remembering that he had found this place in the vast expanse just now, and it could be regarded as a thrill, and the smile slowly climbed up to his face, and he took the lead in getting up and reaching out to help Gu Qingwan up. The two looked at each other, both feeling a little amused by the current situation, and chuckled.

The smile was thick, Gu Qingwan glanced at it, but found that Deyu was looking at herself in a daze, smiled slightly, and said, "Let's get out of here now." ”

was lightly mentioned by her, her heart shook slightly, nodded, slowed down, and came to the door, her hand had just taken the doorknob, and the footsteps suddenly sounded at the door, she retracted her hand and looked back at Gu Qingwan, Gu Qingwan also had a solemn face, and she tacitly knew that the two could only choose the old place and hide back.

Feeling annoyed, Gu Qingwan sighed in her heart, is she going to hide behind this dragon chair for a day today? Things in the harem are changing rapidly, and if you waste half a day, you don't know what earth-shaking changes will happen outside...... While pondering, someone had already entered the Imperial Dry Palace, and a gentle female voice came from her ear: "Is everything done?" ”

Gu Qingwan was suddenly shocked, this voice was clearly Concubine Li, why did she go and return?

"Mother, the slave has already sent the poisoned wine over. However, when they met the prince on the road, the slave and maid were afraid...... So...... Niangniang spare her life......" The answer seemed to be a palace maid, and her voice trembled at the moment with a crying voice, sobbing and begging for mercy.
