Zhao Che blocked the news, and the incident in the palace did not come out, but the prime minister's house became nervous.

Shen Bai suffered from heart disease, colic, and vomited blood.

Gu Hengzhou was not by her side when she had a heart attack, and Shen Ruxiu was also in the court, and when the two returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, they saw Shen Bai lying on the bed with a dying breath, as if he would die in the next moment.

Gu Hengzhou strode to the side of the bed and grabbed Shen Bai's hand, but the tentacles were cold, Gu Hengzhou was shocked for a while, and hurriedly called: "Shen Bai." ”

Shen Bai's eyelashes twitched a few times, he slowly opened his eyes, and it took him a long time to recognize him, he smiled reluctantly, and said softly, "Brother Gu, you're back." ”

Shen Ruxiu was also anxious when he looked at it next to him, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you vomit blood again?" How do you feel now, and does it still hurt? ”

Shen Ruxiu had never been so restless in the face of tricky court affairs in his life, and now he only hated that he was not a doctor, and he couldn't let Shen Bai get rid of his illness.

Shen Bai shook his head and said with a smile: "It's no longer painful, it's okay." ”

Her tone was relaxed, as if no matter what happened, she could easily carry it.

Gu Hengzhou clenched her hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk when you're tired, take a good rest." ”

Shen Bai wanted to laugh a little, grabbed Gu Hengzhou's hand and rubbed it lightly on his face twice, and said, "I've been sleeping for the past few days, there's nothing to be tired of, Brother Gu will tell me about the interesting things that have happened in the past few days." ”

Gu Hengzhou is most concerned about her body now, where do you pay attention to any interesting things? But Shen Bai asked, he still thought about it carefully.

His life has always been boring, and he is still preparing for the wedding and helping Zhao Che solve the follow-up of the case these days.

Gu Hengzhou was telling Shen Bai about the wedding preparations every day, there was nothing new, and after hesitating, Gu Hengzhou said, "The Lu family has been copied." ”

Shen Bai is not in the court, and now she still has the reputation of being the daughter of the Dongfang family, Gu Hengzhou told her this, which is very unruly.

Shen Ruxiu stood aside, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Gu Hengzhou knows the rules better than him, but at this time, the rules are actually not that important.

Shen Ruxiu exited the room so that the two could talk properly.

The Lu family was copied, not the kind that was copied and beheaded, but the industries under the name were taken over by the Wei family, the Ministry of Industry was dismissed and exiled, and the side tributaries of the Lu family were also affected to varying degrees, and the scenery that the Lu family had in Zhaoling as the mother family of the Queen Mother no longer existed.

Shen Bai was very interested in the affairs of the Lu family, asked a few more questions, and suddenly thought of Lu Xiu, she was just a branch of the Lu family, and she didn't know if she was implicated.

Gu Hengzhou and Lu Xiu didn't know each other, so they didn't care too much about her, because Shen Bai asked, and sent Gu to inquire, only to find out that Lu Xiu was missing.

The Lu family was in trouble, and the people who were usually good friends with the Lu family hid, and the news was found from Lujian.

Shen Bai was very concerned about this matter, Gu Hengzhou couldn't spare so much time to find it in person, so he asked Zhou Jue, it just so happened that he didn't have so much official business recently, and he was idle at home.

This matter is a private matter, Zhou Jue is inconvenient to mobilize manpower, so he only brought Gu Sangu Si and a few guards from the Great Commander's Mansion to investigate in the city.

Zhou Jue's insight is much stronger now than in previous years, he didn't show it after discovering the abnormality, and secretly observed, and found that there was still a mysterious force in Beijing.

This discovery made Lu Xiu's disappearance immediately unusual, and Zhou Jue immediately entered the palace to explain the matter to Zhao Che.

Zhao Che didn't expect that after the power of the family clan was eradicated, there would be any forces of unknown origin in Hanjing.

Zhao Che asked the Night Patrol Division to cooperate with Zhou Jue to secretly investigate this matter, and those people were also quite vigilant, and they didn't know where they realized that something was wrong, so they all hid it, and the investigation was in trouble for a while, and there was no progress.

Shen Bai didn't know much about these things, her cough had not been good, and since that day, she had a heart disease, and she would cough up blood every once in a while.

Not wanting to be seen, she carried several silk handkerchiefs with her.

Gu Sangu went to inquire about Lu Xiu's news, and Lu Jian felt uneasy, so he found time to muster up the courage to come to Shen Bai, and the subordinates respectfully introduced her into Shuyun Garden.

Shen Bai was very happy to hear that she was coming, but as soon as he entered the courtyard, the green tip smelled a strong smell of medicine, and when he saw Shen Bai's pale face, his brows immediately furrowed, and asked, "Why is Miss sick?" ”

She was originally worried about Shen Bai's current identity, she was not good at getting too close to Shen Bai, so as not to arouse suspicion, and she had a bad reputation, Shen Bai was about to get married, and she couldn't make up for what she dragged down.

It's just that she didn't expect Shen Bai to be sick.

Green Tip asked and took Shen Bai's hand, now that it was spring, Shen Bai's hand was still cold and cold, and Green Tip became more and more worried.

Shen Bai was not surprised by her reaction, and said with a low smile: "It's just a little cold, and it's not a serious illness, it's fine." ”

She put this sentence on her lips as a mantra, and she didn't know whether she was comforting others or comforting herself.

Green Jian didn't believe this, so Shen Bai preemptively changed the topic and asked about Lu Xiu's disappearance.

Lu Xiu has been missing for several days, and Lu Jian is actually very worried that she is no longer alive, so he suppressed his worries first and talked to Shen Bai in detail about the ins and outs of this matter.

The Lu family was secretly rectified by Zhao Che, and this matter was quite happy for Lu Xiu, at least no one forced her to marry.

Lu Xiu went to the ready-to-wear shop to see Lujian once, and soon after the change of seasons in spring, Lu Xiu drew a lot of patterns of new clothes, and asked Lujian to find the embroidery girl to make it, just in time to make a wave of money during the change of season.

In the past few years, they have saved some money, the Lu family is gone, Lu Xiu is ready to buy a house in Beijing to live in, and when the business of the ready-to-wear shop is a little more prosperous, they can consider opening a branch.

Lu Xiu planned the future very well, so Lu Jian felt that she was missing, not because she was implicated by the Lu family and left Hanjing to take refuge.

Green Jian has been with Lu Xiu for longer than Shen Bai, and there is no need to talk about his feelings.

A weak woman disappeared for several days for no reason, even if she was still alive, I am afraid that she has experienced a lot of inhuman torture.

As long as he thought of this, Lu Jian felt very sad in his heart, his eyes turned red unconsciously, and Shen Bai asked a few more questions.

Lu Xiu has a soft temperament, and she is also very introverted and low-key on weekdays, she gets along very well with these young ladies in Beijing, and she has no grudges, according to common sense, her disappearance should not be sought for revenge, Lujian guessed that Lu Xiu should be favored by someone, who saw the collapse of the Lu family and took the opportunity to kidnap Lu Xiu.

But this is actually a little unreasonable, although Lu Xiu's status is not high, but the people she comes into contact with on weekdays are some high-ranking officials and nobles, if someone really takes a fancy to her, taking advantage of the decline of the Lu family, it is possible to marry Lu Xiu as a wife or a concubine, but there is no need to use the means of kidnapping people.

Shen Bai still felt that this was done by the enemy.

Green Jian said that Lu Xiu had no enemies, Shen Bai did not recognize this, Lu Xiu had enemies, and Jiang Qinse had treated Lu Xiu as an imaginary enemy before.

It's also strange to think about it now, the children in Jiang Qinse's belly are all Gu Hengxiu's, but she still treats Lu Xiu as an imaginary enemy, is it just to protect the face of her wife?

Thinking of this, Shen Bai was stunned for a moment, and asked Lu Jian suspiciously: "I remember that there was a young master in the Jiang family before, what happened to that young master Jiang?" ”

"Young Master Jiang?"

Green Tip doesn't know much about these, she has a low background, and only Lu Xiu has the most contact with on weekdays, and Lu Xiu is not the kind of character who will have a round of right and wrong behind her back, so Green Tip naturally can't find out about these.

Shen Bai nodded, and didn't pursue it, thinking that Lu Xiu hadn't found it yet, he inexplicably felt that it was not safe outside, so he let Lu Jian live in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the evening, Gu Hengzhou came back from dealing with official business outside, and saw that Lu Jian only raised his eyebrows slightly here to show surprise.

At dinner, Shen Bai asked Jiang Yinglou again, Gu Hengzhou knew a little about this, Jiang Qinse's reputation was ruined back then, Shen Bai got rid of the suspicion of the murderer because he was his daughter, Dali Temple later found out that Jiang Yinglou was related to this case, Jiang Yinglou was put into prison, if nothing else, Jiang Yinglou was either still locked up in prison, or he had been executed.

Although he didn't know why Shen Bai suddenly asked this, Gu Hengzhou still answered in detail, and after answering, he asked Shen Bai: "Why are you suddenly interested in this person?" Do you want me to send someone to check it out? ”

"No, I'll just ask." Trade Winds Literature Network

She is now an idler, Zhou Jue is secretly investigating this matter, and the truth will always be revealed, she is not qualified to point fingers on the side.

Shen Bai shook his head, but Gu Hengzhou didn't insist anymore.

After eating, Gu Hengzhou supervised Shen Bai's foot soaking as usual, Shen Bai fell asleep again halfway through soaking, Gu Hengzhou helped her dry her feet and carried her to the bed, Shen Bai slept in a daze, grabbed the hem of his clothes and muttered: "Brother Gu." ”

Gu Hengzhou paused for a moment and whispered, "Sleep, I'll be back in a while." ”

After pouring the water for washing his feet and washing up briefly, Gu Hengzhou returned to the bed and hugged the person into his arms.

Shen Bai quite consciously drilled into his arms, found the most comfortable position to sleep, and felt her heartbeat, Gu Hengzhou's heart settled down.

The next day, Gu Hengzhou stayed at home with Shen Bai for a day.

The wedding is scheduled for the 18th of next month, that is, they are going to get married in half a month, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has worked out the process of the wedding, and the wedding plan is quite grand, because the distance between the Commander's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion is too close, and the Interior Affairs Office recommends that the welcoming team receive people from the Minister's Mansion and parade around the city, so that the people in the city can see the importance of the Commander's Mansion to the bride.

If Shen Bai hadn't been sick, let alone parade around, Gu Hengzhou would have agreed to it for three times, but now, Gu Hengzhou was a little hesitant, and he asked Shen Bai's opinion.

Shen Bai thought about the scene where he was shaken in the sedan chair, and shook his head decisively.

can marry Gu Hengzhou, her long-cherished wish will be forgotten, there is no need to go through so many motions, it is tiring.

Gu Hengzhou agreed, and the people who explained to the Internal Affairs Office removed this point, and the process of welcoming relatives was simple, and there was no need to make it too complicated.

On the first day of the fourth month, Gu Hengzhou and Shen Ruxiu went to the court early in the morning to see them off, Shen Bai began to cough again, and Lu Jian hurriedly asked the kitchen to boil rock sugar and send it over.

Halfway through eating, the porter entered the courtyard and took a crescent-colored purse to Shen Bai, saying that he didn't know who threw it over.

The purse was exquisitely embroidered, Shen Bai didn't recognize it, but Lujian recognized it at a glance, and said nervously: "This is the purse I made for Jun'er, why is it here?" ”

Green Jian said that he wanted to take the purse and check it carefully, but Shen Bai grabbed the purse and didn't give it to her.

There was something in the purse, and Shen Bai even smelled a faint smell of blood, and if Lu Jian saw it, he would definitely not be able to keep calm.

Shen Bai held his purse and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and prepare the carriage, I will leave the mansion in a while." ”

Green Tip was surprised, Shen Bai drank the rest of the pear soup, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I know what their purpose is, and they will bring him back safely." ”

Green Jian didn't have a lot of experience with this kind of thing, and said helplessly: "The Grand Commander and Xiangye have gone to the court, Miss should wait for them to come back and then discuss the long term, what if you have any mistakes?" ”

These people came to deliver the purse at this time, just because they calculated that Gu Hengzhou and Shen Ruxiu were not in the mansion, and the longer the time dragged on, the greater the danger.

Shen Bai said: "It's okay, there will be someone secretly protecting us, don't worry." ”

Shen Bai's tone was firm, and the uneasiness in Lu Jian's heart was slightly suppressed, so he prepared a carriage and went out with Shen Bai.

After two streets, Shen Bai drove the groom out of the carriage and let Green Jian drive the carriage out of the city.

After leaving the city, he slowed down, and after a mile or two of marching forward, two or three butcher-like men rode up to him.

Shen Bai pulled Lujian into the carriage, and one of them jumped on the carriage, lifted the curtain to make sure that Shen Bai was in the carriage, and then drove the carriage forward, and actually went all the way to Zhouxian.

This group of people was quite vigilant, and when they were about to arrive in Zhouxian, they took Shen Bai and Lujian on the horse, and the person drove the carriage down the official road, afraid that someone would follow the wheels of the carriage to find them.

The other two rode into the city with Shen Bai and Green Jian, and went to a Taoist temple in the south of the city.

This Taoist temple looks a bit old, and it should be quite a few years old.

The Taoist temple should be their accomplices, and they didn't have any surprises when they saw Shen Bai and Green Jian being brought in.

By the time they arrived, it was already dark, and there were only a few lights lit in the Taoist temple, which looked a little eerie, and Shen Bai and Lujian were taken into the meditation room and locked up.

Shen Bai didn't speak from beginning to end, and after entering the house, his hands and feet were tied.

I don't know how long it took, the door of the meditation room was pushed open, and the man was wearing a loose Taoist robe and combing the Taoist monk's hair, much thinner than Shen Bai's impression, but his face did not change much.

It turned out to be really Jiang Yinglou.

Shen Bai was a little surprised, Jiang Yinglou closed the door, walked to the house and sat down, Shen Bai found that his entire right arm had been neatly cut off, and only a bare piece was left from his shoulder.

Jiang Yinglou's eyes were full of gloom, like an extremely fierce beast, ready to pounce on Shen Bai and tear Shen Bai to pieces at any time.

"Young Master Shen, long time no see."

Jiang Yinglou took the initiative to speak, his voice was very hoarse, and a little sharp, stabbing his eardrums, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

Shen Bai tried to move his body and sit up, coughed twice, and responded calmly: "Young Master Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time, Young Master Jiang wants to talk about the old days, it is easy for people to misunderstand by inviting me here with such great pains, you also know that Brother Gu has a bad temper, if he finds out that Young Master Jiang treats me like this, I am afraid that he will not be able to control his temper and beat Young Master Jiang violently." ”

Shen Bai said this on purpose, and when he heard Gu Hengzhou's name, Jiang Yinglou sneered at the corner of his lips, and said faintly: "I haven't seen you for three years, Shen Bai, you still talk so much nonsense." ”

"How can this be nonsense? Didn't Young Master Jiang invite me here just to talk to me, otherwise he should have sent someone directly into the Prime Minister's Mansion and wiped my neck. ”

Shen Bai retorted, his tone was brisk, as if he was really here to catch up with Jiang Yinglou, not to be kidnapped.

Jiang Yinglou sneered and said, "It's really easy to kill you, but that's too cheap for you, it's better to torture it slowly." ”

Jiang Yinglou's tone was quite perverted, Shen Bai greeted all the eighteen generations of his ancestors in his heart, and said: "There is a debtor who is wronged, I am already here now, Young Master Jiang can deal with it however he wants, but the child is innocent, Young Master Jiang is embarrassed by what a child does." ”

This kind of thing was probably said to Jiang Yinglou in vain, and Shen Bai didn't expect him to listen to it.

Jiang Yinglou walked up to Shen Bai and squatted down, reached out to pinch her cheek, and looked at her carefully, as if he wanted to see if she had changed in the past three years.

Shen Bai looked at him, and after a while, Jiang Yinglou suddenly said, "You won't live long." ”

Phew, you don't have much to live.

Shen Bai slandered, his face was inconspicuous, and said: "Maybe I'm going to disappoint Young Master Jiang, I've been a little infected with wind and cold recently, and my health is fine, and I don't have anything to do." ”

Jiang Yinglou let go of Shen Bai and sneered, "You'd better live longer, otherwise I'll be disappointed." ”

After Jiang Yinglou finished speaking, he walked to the wall of the meditation room and found the mechanism to press, the wall slowly moved away, and the secret room behind him appeared in front of him.

There was a table in the secret room, with a tablet on it, Shen Bai had good eyesight, and he saw that it was written "The position of my wife Jiang Qinse".

He and Jiang Qinse are righteous brothers and sisters, after Jiang Qinse died, he set up a tablet for her in the name of her husband to commemorate her, if this is spread, I am afraid that she will be drowned by the spittle of the world.

Xu was sure that Shen Bai would not be able to escape, so Jiang Yinglou walked directly into the secret room and first put a stick of incense on Jiang Qinse.

At this time, Jiang Yinglou's expression could barely be called gentle, and he whispered: "Cersei, I helped you get your child back, and I also helped you catch the murderer who killed you, don't worry, I won't let her have a good time." ”

Shen Bai disagreed with Jiang Yinglou's words, and lazily retorted: "Young Master Jiang's words are unreasonable, Miss Jiang was not killed by me, she was the first to harm others, and she reaped the consequences, besides, it was Your Majesty who sentenced her to death, how can you detain the charge on my head." ”

Shen Bai was reasonable, Jiang Yinglou frowned, and was about to teach Shen Bai a lesson, when the closed door was kicked open, and when the sawdust flew, Gu Hengzhou appeared at the door with a spear.

Shen Bai moved twice on the ground and shouted loudly: "Brother Gu is mighty!" Brother Gu is so handsome! ”

Gu Hengzhou walked into the house with a cold face, broke the ropes on Shen Bai's hands and feet, pulled the person up to protect him, and then raised the spear and pointed directly at Jiang Yinglou.
