"This silk flower is so magical? We've never heard of it! Xiang Xiang sighed.

But Gu Muyan only explained: "I also got such a small bottle by chance, and occasionally use it for fun, I'm afraid it's not a plant of our Chen Dynasty." ”

Then he took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and asked Xi Xiang to return to the people's grain village with the food box.

This silk flower is actually not a rare thing, but a flower on the most common plant of the Chen Dynasty, but it is only taken off when the flower is still a bud, dried and then soaked in wine to produce the juice, and it becomes such a magical ink.

This was only taught to Xiao Yi by Li Zhonghe in his previous life.

Early the next morning, when the sky was still bright, Gu Muyan carried the food box to the backyard of the people's grain village and knocked on the door of Ruoshu's room.

"Yo, it's too late to start today!" After Gu Muyan put down the food box, he said to Ruoshu inside, but he didn't respond for a long time.

"Ruoshu?" Gu Muyan shouted Ruoshu's name several more times, but there was still no response, but Gu Muyan was about to walk into the inner room and wanted to wake up Ruoshu in person, but he stopped just two or three steps out, turned around and walked outside the door and said, "Okay, you Ruoshu, you want to lie to me again!" ”

"Who let the young lady play tricks on me too!" Ruoshu muttered, obviously unconvinced.

"When did I play tricks on you? But you hide your letters so deeply. Gu Muyan sighed, shook his head and said.

Who knew that after Ruoshu heard this, he put his hands on his waist and said, "I knew that Miss must have seen the letter, but why didn't you reply, Miss?" ”

"I've clearly replied to you, but you didn't find out." Gu Muyan couldn't help but smile and explained.

Ruoshu took out the paper from his sleeve and read it again, still only the line he had written, so he looked at Gu Muyan angrily, but Gu Muyan could only light the candle again, put the paper on it and bake it for a while, and the words on it appeared.

"Miss! Where did you come from? This must be what the royal family used to pass on secret letters! Ordinary people would never have it! Ruoshu looked at Gu Muyan incredulously and asked.

"I'll tell you that's okay, tell me first, why did you ask me to meet in that way?" Gu Muyan couldn't see Ruoshu's Xiao Jiujiu, if there was no big deal, she would definitely not use this way to meet herself.

"Miss, wait for me." After Ruoshu finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the inner room, and came out after a while, but there were two more booklets in his hand, and after handing the booklets to Gu Muyan, Ruoshu said again: "Miss, let's take a look at this first." ”

When she first started reading it, Gu Muyan was still smiling, but the more she turned back, the smile gradually solidified, and when she finally saw the second book, the smile on her face disappeared completely.

"Where did you get this news from? But really? Gu Muyan put down the booklet in his hand, looked at Ruoshu anxiously, and suddenly stepped forward to Ruoshu and asked, feeling like he was going to devour Ruoshu.

Ruoshu, who had never seen Gu Muyan like this, didn't react at once, and was stunned in place, until Gu Muyan shook her body and asked again, she said in a daze: "We have established an intelligence network, these are all news in the capital in the past few days, there is no ground, I'm afraid there is a chance of nine times out of ten." ”

Ruoshu's somewhat frightened voice finally stabilized Gu Muyan's mood a little, what was written on this fold really made Gu Muyan not expect that he had done so much, and in the end, the prince was still under house arrest in the East Palace, in the previous life because of disaster relief, and in this life because of the household department, but Gu Muyan knew that the prince had not done these things.

If it continues to deepen the misunderstanding of the prince in Jinshang, I am afraid that it will make Jinshang have the idea of replacing the prince, as well as Li Zhonghe, if the misunderstanding between Li Zhonghe and himself and Cheng Qi continues, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be used by Xiao Yi again.

If it really came to that point, then all the efforts Gu Muyan had made before would be almost in vain.

"How long has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince been imprisoned?" Gu Muyan calmed down his emotions and asked Ruoshu.

"Today is the third day." Ruoshu thought about it and replied to Gu Muyan.

"Day three?" Gu Muyan muttered, her brows furrowed, she had never felt like she was facing a great enemy like today, and she didn't even want to know about the intelligence network that Ruoshu established now.

"Ruoshu, I'll come back to you another day, I have more important things now." After Gu Muyan said this, his eyes became firm again, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would never give up!

After leaving the people's grain village, Gu Muyan's first thought was Cheng Qi, but when she arrived at the General's Mansion, she knew that Cheng Qi was not in the mansion now, and then she remembered that Cheng Qi should be in the early dynasty at this hour, so she stumbled in the direction of the palace gate, thinking that Cheng Qi would see him as soon as he got off the morning court.

But after waiting at the gate of the palace for half an hour, Gu Muyan suddenly realized that this palace gate is not a good place, if you really want to find something to do, there is no doubt that the Taifu Mansion is the best and the safest, so Gu Muyan turned his head and went to the Taifu Mansion.

"Miss, the master is back, and he is already waiting for you in Tianlu Pavilion." The people in the mansion walked into Old Madam Fu's room and said to Gu Muyan.

Gu Muyan, who was talking to Old Madam Fu, nodded slightly, turned her eyes to her grandmother and said, "Grandmother, Yan'er has gone to find her grandfather first, you have to listen to Yan'er!" ”

"Hmmm! My grandmother must have listened to what our family said, so you should go and discuss things with your grandfather. Old Madam Fu touched Gu Muyan's hair and said kindly.

When Gu Muyan arrived at Tianlu Pavilion, Cheng Qi was not by his grandfather's side, so Gu Muyan immediately said after saluting Old Lady Fu: "Can my grandfather bring Brother Cheng here, Yan'er has something to discuss with you." ”

"Then you may have to wait, I will see you after an appointment with Cheng Qi, it is empty, you accompany your grandfather to play chess, Cheng Qi's kid always wins me, it's boring!" Old lady Fu snorted like a child and said angrily.

Seeing that Old Lady Fu was so cute, Gu Muyan naturally came down and said, "Hmph, my grandfather bullied Yan'er for not being proficient in chess!" This time, Yan'er won't let her grandfather go again! ”

So when Cheng Qi came, Gu Muyan was in full swing with Old Lady Fu, and no one let anyone, and in the end, Old Lady Fu was still a step ahead and won Gu Muyan with half a son.

"That's the fun! Hmph, unlike my apprentice, I can't wait to cut off my sons before I can show my strength! Old Lady Fu said angrily, not noticing that the apprentice in his mouth was standing beside him.

"Brother Cheng, don't let this grandfather in the future!" Gu Muyan covered his mouth and smiled, and in an instant, the entire Tianlu Pavilion was full of laughter.

"Okay, this Cheng Qi is also here, what do you have to say until Cheng Qi comes?" The more Old Lady Fu looked at Cheng Qi and Gu Muyan in front of him, the more he felt that he was a good match, and the deeper the smile on his face.

It's just that after this excitement, those who should be greeted still have to be greeted, so Gu Muyan didn't drag his feet, and said directly: "Yan'er heard that the prince is now under house arrest in the East Palace? ”

"That's true, today is the third day, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will cause instability in the court!" Old Lady Fu didn't have the slightest leisure, but frowned even tighter.

Gu Muyan, who was just about to speak, swallowed his words, but instead mentioned a previous incident and said, "Grandfather, do you remember asking Yan'er what he thinks of the fourth prince?" Yan'er said that it was embarrassing at the beginning, but now Yan'er's thoughts have not changed, but he is more determined to see people, because this time in the matter of the flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, Yan'er also had contact with the four princes, the four princes did not think about the people, and only cared about how they could grab the credit in exchange for His Majesty's favor, and even repay, Yan'er was worried that if such a person was really allowed to become the emperor of the Chen Dynasty, I am afraid..."

"What does Yan'er think about the prince?" Old Lady Fu couldn't figure out Gu Muyan's thoughts, and thought that she wanted to stand on the side of the prince, so she asked like this, after all, if she really wanted to help the prince, how could she not help?

"Yan'er consciously can't see through the prince, and he can't judge just the disaster relief outside the city, but as far as Yan'er can see, the prince does put a lot more thought into disaster relief than the fourth prince." Gu Muyan pondered slightly and said.

After all, in his previous life, the prince died of illness shortly after the flood, so naturally he didn't know much about him, and he wouldn't trust the prince so easily because of disaster relief.

Hearing this, Old Lady Fu asked with some confusion: "Yan'er is the prince?" Want your grandfather to help the prince through this difficult time? ”

"It's true that I want my grandfather to help the prince, but I don't like the prince, Yan'er doesn't like the fourth prince, it doesn't mean that I think the prince will definitely be able to take on important responsibilities." Gu Muyan thought twice.

"Since Yan'er at both ends has no intention of taking refuge, then why do you want to help the prince, and Yan'er can understand the truth behind this?" Old Lady Fu made it clear that she wanted to test Gu Muyan, so she didn't open her mouth to let Cheng Qi tell Gu Muyan about the scene he saw in the palace that day.

"The people only said that the household was corrupt, and was assassinated, but they did not die on the spot, and they cursed the prince with all their strength, so they guessed that the prince was not virtuous, and even dared to be greedy for money from the household department." Gu Muyan stopped when he said this, and looked at his grandfather with a smile, as if he already knew the purpose of Old Lady Fu.
