Liu Le was not lightly angered by his words, turned around and left. In the next few days, Gu Wenzhou was unexpectedly clean, and sometimes he studied hexagram for a day, but no one came to disturb him. While he felt deeply relaxed, he was vaguely worried about whether Liu Le would use other methods to deal with Yifang.

On this day, when he went out for breakfast, Gu Wenzhou passed by Liu Le's dormitory, and heard two little palace maids talking at the door.

"I didn't expect the princess to be in the palace now, but she was chased by those ministers."

"Yes, the princess who was high up in the past was chased to the palace by the courtiers to collect debts, what a down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken!"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Wenzhou listened to them for a long time, but he still didn't get to the point, so he walked over and asked directly.

When the two little palace maids saw him coming, they immediately stood up straight, and they didn't dare to talk anymore, and saluted respectfully.

"Don't dare to ...... again"

Before the two little palace maids finished their defense, Gu Wenzhou hurriedly interrupted them: "You don't have to panic, I didn't mean to blame you, I just want to know what you were talking about just now." ”

Those two palace maids were brought in by Liu Le from the princess's mansion, and the time spent with Gu Wenzhou was not short, and he also knew his temperament, so he would not punish them as wantonly as Liu Le. The two of them glanced at each other, and one of the little palace maids told him the truth.

"Some time ago, the princess found that the money in the house was not enough, and planned to open some shops to make money, but there were still some veins to be opened. She contacted some officials in the court, hoping to get their help. It's just that there is no money in the palace to bribe these people, so the princess borrows money from those courtiers with slightly lower official positions, and then uses it to bribe those high-ranking officials. ”

When Gu Wenzhou heard this, he had already guessed the general situation when he contacted what they had just said: "But now that the princess's mansion has been burned down and the shops have not been opened, those officials who lent money to the princess have come to collect debts, right?" ”

The little palace maid nodded: "That's exactly what the colt said." ”

"Where's the princess?" Only then did Gu Wenzhou understand that it was no wonder that Liu Le had never been seen in the past few days.

"The princess heard early in the morning that those courtiers were coming to see her, so she hurried to Madame Shen's Huanning Hall to hide. Mrs. Shen is the emperor's favorite concubine, and those ministers categorically dare not approach Huanning Palace, and the princess loves to go there these days. ”

"Okay, I see, you guys go about it!"

Gu Wenzhou continued to go back to his room, but his mind began to surge, and he seemed to have an idea in his heart. Liu Le has been pestered by these ministers recently, and she can't spare any effort to deal with Yifang, but if this matter is solved in the future, she will still bite Yifang tightly, so it is better to take this opportunity to completely solve the matter.

Gu Wenzhou knew very well that according to the rules of the court, courtiers could not be privately taught by concubines, princes or princesses, and Liu Le seemed to have committed a big taboo. If you can get evidence that she is closely related to the courtiers, it is to hold a handle on her.

However, despite thinking like this, Gu Wenzhou still couldn't be completely reassured. With Liu Le's temperament, the practice of ending up together after breaking the jar is not a new thing for her.

On the other side, Mrs. Shen did not let Liu Le use Huanning Hall as a refuge in vain. In order to defeat Yifang, Mrs. Shen wanted to spread the old relationship between Gu Wenzhou and Yifang again, although Liu Le was unwilling to do so, but in the face of those fierce ministers, she still had to compromise.

As a result, rumors spread in the palace again, and the words Marquis Heisei and Empress were frequently mentioned in the mouths of the palace people at the same time. Liu Heng often pays attention to the rumors in the palace, and he naturally listens to these words, he believes in Yifang in his heart, but this rumor is really hateful, even if it is chasing the wind and shadows, it has become true after a long time.

And the Changting Hall was even more peaceful, Gu Wenzhou had also heard about these rumors, and he even knew that it was Liu Le's ghost. But now she can't even be seen, let alone let her put down the rumors.

"Gu Xiangshi, the slave maid has quietly gone to see it, everything in the Jiaofang Hall is still the same as before, and there is not much movement. The queen mother didn't seem to be affected by these rumors, but just accompanied the newly-born little prince with peace of mind. ”

"That's good." Gu Wenzhou has been thinking about it for a long time these days, if he wants to completely eliminate the trouble caused by this matter, there is only one way. He has already made a decision about this.

"Gui'er, you go to Huanning Hall and invite the princess back, just say that I want to drink tonight, and ask her to accompany you."

"Gu Xiangshi, the slave didn't ...... Did you hear that right? Are you going to ...... Drinking with a princess? Gui'er couldn't believe her ears for a while, she could see how disgusted Gu Wenzhou was with Liu Le.

Gu Wenzhou nodded affirmatively: "Yes, you heard it right." ”

"Okay, the slave maid will go to Huanning Palace."

Gu Wenzhou put sleeping medicine in the wine in advance, and he remembered that Liu Le had drugged the food he had given him in the past, but now it was the other way around, which was really ridiculous.

Although she wants to avoid creditors, Gu Wenzhou's invitation is also a very important thing for Liu Le, and she would rather take a certain risk to come back.

As soon as she entered the gate of the Changting Hall this time, Gu Wenzhou greeted her, and even helped Liu Le, which made her immediately flattered.

"What's wrong with today, husband?" Liu Le grabbed Gu Wenzhou's hand, but he only instinctively shrank back, and did not completely dodge.

"I have carefully considered your proposal last time, and I can promise you." Gu Wenzhou said calmly, "But I want to live a peaceful life, after you finish this, we will go out of the palace and don't stay here anymore." ”

"You, do you really want to be with me?" Liu Le hadn't moved his hard stone for so many years, and now he suddenly compromised, but he was a little uncomfortable.

"If you don't believe me, I'll just say it." Gu Wenzhou figured out Liu Le's temperament and knew what to say.

"I believe it, of course I do." Liu Le pulled him towards the main hall, "Didn't the husband say that he wanted to drink with me?" ”

"Yes, I'm ready, drink this meal tonight, forget everything in the past, and give yourself a chance to start over." Gu Wenzhou seemed to be saying to Liu Le, but he was actually saying it to himself.

"Okay." Liu Lexi was overjoyed, and he couldn't think about it for a while.

Halfway through the wine, before he had eaten much of the food, Liu Le already felt a little groggy. She has a good amount of alcohol, and she definitely won't become like this with just a few drinks, but Gu Wenzhou held her in his arms and coaxed her softly, and Liu Le couldn't care less about doubting anything else.

Later, it seemed that she was persuaded to have a few more drinks, but Liu Le's memory was not very clear, and she didn't know what happened later.

waited until Gu Wenzhou finally drunk her to end this purposeful hypocrisy. He had already let the palace people rest in advance, and at this time he left Liu Le in the main hall, and he hurried to the dormitory to look for it.

He had never known Liu Le, let alone where she usually put important things, so it was very difficult to find them. It seemed that someone was passing by outside, and when they heard the movement, they hurried over.

"What are you doing?" After the angry rebuke of the palace maid, Liu Le's personal maid Hua Lu actually walked in.

"Pony? How could it be you? The slave thought she had been assassinated! ”

Gu Wenzhou had nowhere to hide, so he simply stood up and asked generously: "The princess is drunk, let me put away all the letters that I used to exchange with the officials in the court, lest people steal them, do you know where the princess put these letters?" ”

Hua Lu's eyes were full of doubt: "Is what the colt said true?" ”

"Are you suspicious of me?" Gu Wenzhou kept his composure and looked at her.

Hua Lu smiled: "The slave maid doesn't dare, but the princess has always been cautious, and the letters from those ministers were all taken and burned by the slave maid as soon as they read it." ”

"I see, then maybe the princess is drunk and talking nonsense." Gu Wenzhou was a little disappointed in his heart, "That's it, the princess is in the main hall, you can bring someone over to serve her and settle it!" ”

"Horse, please wait." Seeing that Gu Wenzhou was about to go out, Hua Lu hurriedly stopped him, "The slave knows that the concubine is not here to help the princess collect those letters, but to pinch the princess's handle." ”

"Don't defile people's innocence." Gu Wenzhou was in a hurry to leave, and Hua Lu stopped in front of him in a few steps.

"Stay with the horses. Although the princess asked the slave to burn it every time, the slave and the maid put away the letters. Hua Lu lowered her voice and said, "If the colt wants to use this to deal with the princess, the slave is willing to give you all the letters." ”

Gu Wenzhou looked at her in surprise: "Why?" ”

"For so many years, the slave maid has served the princess conscientiously, never slacked off in asking herself, and thought about the princess in everything, but unfortunately in exchange for only beating and scolding. As long as the princess is in a bad mood, the slave and maid will become her punching bag, this resentment has been held for many years, if there is a chance to work hard, of course the slave and maid must be seized. Hua Lu said it as a matter of course, and the hatred in his eyes was also clearly visible.

Gu Wenzhou felt sad for Liu Le, it was really sad and lamentable, a princess who had fallen into such a betrayal and separation. But it's no wonder that others, if she treats people a little better, at least Hualu, who has been with her for so many years, will not betray.

"Have you figured it out? If those letters had been handed over to me, there would have been no chance of recovery. Gu Wenzhou thought about it carefully, and still reminded her.

"Even if the colt doesn't do this, one day the slave will be forced to do this, it's just a relationship of one step earlier and one step later, what is there to regret?" Hua Lu's face was full of determination, she took out a thick stack of letters from her room, and handed it to Gu Wenzhou without hesitation, "I hope everything will go well with the pony." ”
